MTV's Spider-Man: The New Animated Series, starring Neil Patrick Harris as Peter Parker, deserved better than the single 13-episode season it got.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has to be the most freeze-frameable movie of the year. The hit sequel is packed with Easter eggs and left-field references — especially in its second half when the plot is invaded by a whole army of alternate-universe web slingers pulled from back issues and past adaptations alike.
Recommended Videos The show was originally conceived as an Ultimate Spider-Man adaptation. But after the monster success of Sam Raimi’s big-screen version the previous summer, it was reconfigured as a direct follow-up to the movie. Peter is still roommates with Harry, who hates Spider-Man for — by all appearances — killing his father, the original Green Goblin. Our hero still has a will-they won’t-they thing going with Mary Jane.
From a conceptual standpoint, it’s the college setting that distinguishes the series from a lot of other adaptations, which tend to either focus on Peter Parker’s high school years or his adulthood. Relatedly, this is among the more relatively mature takes on Spider-Man.
