Still works 20 years later

I'm a woman in my 30s and watched this show as a child. This was my first exposure to comic book characters; Spiderman will always be my favorite character. I found this show on Disney  and it is just has wonderful as when I originally experienced it. The story-lines are captivating, Peter Parker is quick-witted, and the animation is detailed for a 90s cartoon. Speaking of story-lines, I'm noticing that this show must have been big inspiration for live-action movies to follow in the next 10-20 years. Obviously, most Spiderman stories stem from canonical comic books, but a lot of scenes are visually similar to Raimi's Spiderman and even current Marvel Studios Spiderman movies. For example: scenes from the Mysterio episode, Doc-Oc episode, Black Spiderman episode, and the episode showing Spiderman's origin story. This is further evidence that ideas just get recycled. And wow, J. K. Simmons really was a great choice for J. Jonah Jameson; he has very similar mannerisms to Parker's animated boss.

score 9/10
