Ultimate Spider-Man/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Dying Moment of Awesome]]: You can debate endlessly about whether or not killing Peter was a good idea but you can't say that they didn't have him go down facing off against the Sinister Six by himself with a bullet in his gut and fading fast.

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]:

** Kong. He's become popular enough to become a [[Canon Immigrant]] in [[The Spectacular Spider-Man]].

* [[Growing the Beard]]: For ''Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man'' it is issue 9 and 10.

* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]:

** At July 2005's ''San Diego Comic Con'', in response to the question the Ultimate & 616 universes crossing over, [[Joe Quesada]] stated that he'd rather close down one universe than have them cross over because it meant they were officially out of ideas. Fast forward to 2012, and Marvel announced that they will be having 616!Peter crossing over to the Ultimate universe to meet Miles.

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]:

** A small detail, but in the 2004 "Hollywood" arc, when Peter fights Doc Ock on the set of a new Spider-Man movie, a black stuntman in a Spidey outfit hits Doc Ock with a camera. When he tells Spidey that he's just a stuntman, not the actor playing him, Peter says "I thought I got revamped there for a second..."

* [[Like You Would Really Do It]]: Averted HARD, considering the one involved is ''the title character''.

* [[The Scrappy]]:

** [[Rule of Three|Again]], Ultimate Deadpool. It's not that hard to see why people disliked the character.

* [[Tear Jerker]]: The first ''Fallout'' issue is this for pretty much every page.

* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]:

* [[What an Idiot!]]:

** Carol Danvers qualifies at the start of ''The Death of Spider-Man'' - 6 dangerous superpowered criminals break out of the Triskelion, [[Rogues Gallery|all of whom are enemies of Spider-Man]], and the last time [[Five-Bad Band|five of the six teamed up]], it required the Ultimates to stop them. So she ''not only'' sends the Ultimates off to fight Nick Fury's Avengers to cover her own ass, but she ''doesn't even tell Spider-Man that six of his enemies have all escaped from incarceration'', all so that she can keep the breakout a secret. And the kicker? Because she inadvertently caused the death of Spider-Man, this wound up being the straw that broke the camel's back and got her fired from her position as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

* [[The Woobie]]:

** Shadowcat in "Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man".

** And, as always, Peter. By the end of the Ultimate Clone Saga arc, everyone wanted to give that kid a hug.

 

 

* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]:

** The announcement that [[Marvel Cinematic Universe|Agent]] [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Phil Coulson]] would be a recurring character; voiced (much like the J.K. Simmons example above) by none other than his live-action actor, Clark Gregg.

** The fact that this is the first Spider-Man cartoon since the 1990s to allow crossovers with other Marvel franchises led to this.

** With the first 6 episodes' plots announced, fans are treated to the knowledge that Spidey and his new amazing friends will be encountering Dr. Doom, Venom, Iron Man, and the first animated appearance of Taskmaster.

** Marvel released preview images on their website which feature the silhouettes of Taskmaster, Dr. Octopus, the Hulk, Venom/Iron Man (there's still debates on the identity of that image) and Wolverine.

** The humor of the series. For some fans it's funny and clever. For another fans it's just stupid.

** Drake Bell as Spidey is also rather divisive. Some fans think he's great for the role and some are critical of him.

** Some fans aren't too happy that Venom's backstory is based on his ''[[Marvel Adventures]]'' counterpart (sentient suit created by one of Spidey's enemies) rather than the alien symbiote from the mainstream Marvel universe. And [[It Got Worse]] when it was revealed {{spoiler|Harry Osborn was his host instead of Eddie Brock.}}

** Similarly, some fans are annoyed it takes the name "Ultimate Spider-Man" despite having nothing to do with the comic of the same name.

* [[Hate Dumb]]: Some people have decided to not watch the show and declare it the "Worst Cartoon Ever" because Spider-Man doesn't have red on the back of his arms. I'm completely serious.

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Iron Fist is notable for being one of the few main characters to not be [[The Scrappy]]. His cool, likable personnality does the rest.

** Doctor Octopus has become one for being a truly creepy villain in contrast with most of the other villains, who are treated as comical<ref>On the other hand, whereas minor villains and mooks are treated as comical - although very competents and dangerous in many cases- , the main villains like Norman Osborn, Doctor Octopus, Doctor Doom and Loki are played ''dead serious''</ref>.

** Taskmaster, due to being a truly menacing and [[Badass]] bad guy.

* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: [[Doctor Doom]]. When Spider-Man and his team attempted to capture him by attacking Latveria, {{spoiler|he sent a Doombot to fight them, and had said Doombot captured by them so he could have it infiltrating the Helicarrier and destroying it from the inside; and even after they successfully defeated the Doombot, he ''still'' gets something by analyzing their weakness in the process, thus preparing for later fights with them.}}

* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Doctor Octopus. Even though he has yet to be shown in action, the few gaps we get of him reveal creepy, almost zombie-like features, as well as a [[Creepy Monotone]] voice.

** When Peter considers telling Harry he's Spider-Man, the possible consequences of his secret getting out (even ones that aren't as bad as the others) flash by in a terrifying thought-sequence. No wonder Peter's protective of his identity if ''that's'' what he thinks might happen.

* [[The Scrappy]]: Most of the main cast, with the exception of Iron Fist; Nova and White Tiger are especially criticized for being this, the former for his hot-headed, abrasive personnality and the latter for her nagging attitude toward Spider-Man. To an extent, even Spider-Man himself suffers this, mostly because his sense of humor seems closer to [[Deadpool]]'s than that of the comic Spidey.

* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character]]: So far, Spider-Man's teammates are this; all of them are minor superheroes from the comic who had never appeared in animated adaptation when the series started, and two of them (Power Man and Iron Fist) are quite popular in the comic fanbase. This could have been a great way to introduce those characters to a younger audience as well as their universe. But the series doesn't bother with exploring their background and origins, instead barely mentionning it, and their [[Character Development]] doesn't go beyond serving as Spider-Man's annoying sidekicks. As a result, they end up for most becoming a bunch of [[The Scrappy|Scrappies]] in the eyes of most fans.
