Line 37:
*** Not everyone though, since some were OK with it since Ultimate characters are suppose to be different to their mainstream counterpart.
*** This might take a little explanation, but the mainline Deadpool is a fairly popular character, mostly because of a sense of humor and lightheartedness. Ultimate Deadpool, by comparison, is thought of as a generic villain who hates mutants. The two versions share very little in common (until his re-tool courtesy of ''[[Spider Man Shattered Dimensions]]'', although it is probably non-canon).
* [[Take That Scrappy]]: The first time Miles comes across any of Peter's [[True Companions]] in costume, he's promptly kicked in the head and asked "Who the [[Precision F
* [[Tear Jerker]]: The first ''Fallout'' issue is this for pretty much every page.
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]:
** Some fans feel this way about the series. 'Tis a retelling though, so you can't win 'em all.
** Played straight with the transition from ''Ultimate Spider-Man'' to ''Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man''. The change of artist and shake up of status quo has resulted in a more [[Broken Base]].
Line 46:
** Uncle Ben.
** {{spoiler|Peter Parker}}
* [[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
*** Though how much of that is due to [[Magnificent Bastard|Nick Fury's]] planning is very much debatable. {{spoiler|At least 2 characters have voiced the idea that he directly caused the events leading up to Spidey's death. Though to be fair neither is entirely neutral in the matter. One being MJ and the other being Fury's ex wife Black Widow 2}}.
* [[The Woobie]]:
Line 69:
** With some Spec fans (though not all), it seems to be case of [[Mis-blamed]], even though [http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=14223 Greg Weisman himself pointed out it wasn't Marvel's or this shows fault Spec ended]. On the other hand, many Spec fans know that USM didn't get the show cancelled, but the perceived low quality of the series definitely adds more insult to injury as far as they're concerned.
** 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.}}
** And then rumors began to circulate about how they might reboot ''[[The Avengers:
** The point of Spider-Man having a team has also been questioned, some fans feeling he is a better hero when alone and that the series shouldn't be called "Spider-Man" if it's about him in a team (despite this [[Spider Man and His Amazing Friends (Animation)|not being the first case like this.]])
** Similarly, some fans are annoyed it takes the name "Ultimate Spider-Man" despite having nothing to do with the comic of the same name.
Line 87:
* [[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.
* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot]]: "Why I Hate Gym" has a scene where [[Taskmaster]], in an attempt to convince Spider-Man to join him as his apprentice, reveals he used to work for SHIELD as well, but left after [[Nick Fury]] double-crossed him. Having Spider-Man questionning his trust in Fury, and considering quitting because of this, could have been a great plot device that would have brought [[Character Development]] to the three characters. But the episode instead focus on Spidey and White Tiger trying to find a way to defeat Taskmaster, and Fury's double-crossing is never mentionned again.
** "Back In Black", which is centered around finding out that {{spoiler|the new Spider-Man in town and one wearing Venom is Harry Osborn}}, if you're not one of the people [[Broken Base|angry about it]], actually sounds like an interesting idea, especially given {{spoiler|[["Well Done, Son" Guy|Harry's parental issues]]}}. The problem is that the episode barely focuses on the effects the {{spoiler|Venom Suit has on Peter and Harry's friendship}} or {{spoiler|Harry's animosity toward his father, which is only briefly touched upon at the end of the episode}}.
*** May be rectified by the season finale, which has {{spoiler|Harry and Norman somehow getting into a clash over Venom}} as the synopsis.
