History Awesome / TheSpectacularSpiderman

* In "Group Therapy,"
** Eddie takes Mary-Jane on a high speed motorcycle ride just because he thinks taking her out will hurt Peter. MJ doesn't take any of that crap.

* In "Nature Vs. Nurture," the ''entire football team'' works together with Spider-Man to save Gwen from Venom.

* This far and no:

** From the same episode, Peter telling off the snotty cheerleader he was trying to tutor. For anyone who's ever been blown off by the popular crowd before, it's quite satisfying.

* Mary Jane gets one in her own way. When Peter has to leave her at the dance, [[AlphaBitch Sally]] takes the opportunity to try to mock her for it. Mary Jane responds by effortlessly getting Randy (Sally's boyfriend) to dance with her instead.

* Similar to what he does when threatened by the Green Gobin in the ''Film/SpiderMan1'' movie, when threatened by Rhino with information on Peter Parker, Jameson tells the supervillain he never met him and silently indicating for Peter to leave.

* In "Group Therapy," Eddie takes Mary-Jane on a high speed motorcycle ride just because he thinks taking her out will hurt Peter. MJ doesn't take any of that crap.

** Also in "Group Therapy," Aunt May standing between Spidey and the entire Sinister Six. That woman has ''guts''. Also a SugarWiki/{{heartwarming moment|s}} both in story (defending her nephew without even knowing it) and from a meta perspective.
* Also in "Group Therapy," the Symbiote defeating the Sinister Six all by himself is quite awesome ; at first the Six wipe the floor with him, crack some jokes, the mask's eyes widen in a "Oh Crap" moment... And then he proceeds to defeat each and everyone of them, showing greater strength and agility than Peter himself.
** Its also a CMOA for Peter to, as you realized that in this series the symbiote doesn't significantly increased Peter's abilities-other than a self-mending suit and endless supply of webbing. This is what Peter could be if he focuses and stop wisecracking and use his powers to his full potential, and indeed in "Final Curtain" we see him going all out.

* Spider-Man's fight against The Lizard in the subway, showing their speed anf agility.

* A minor one, but it's a great geek-out feeling having Shocker AND Electro team up: something that never happened in the older cartoons.

* Here's one for the writers; they managed to make [[TheReveal Norman Osborn as the Green Goblin]] just as shocking as it was, all those years ago. ItWasHisSled was totally averted!

* A meta example: When the show came to Blu-Ray five years after its cancellation, it nearly reached the top of Amazon's Action and Adventure Blu-Ray sales chart, beat ''only'' by ''Film/TheHobbitTheDesolationOfSmaug''.

'''Spider-Man:''' Too true. [[RealityEnsues And if nothing can penetrate, you can't perspire. Your face is sweating for your whole body!]] It's probably enough, under most conditions... but in a ''steam tunnel''...\\

** Let's be specific here, Spider-Man is attack by a platoon of enemies arm with assault rifles that fire spiked bullets, an entire neighborhood of automated Turrets that fire GRENADES...with the firing rate of a machine gun!(yes you heard that right), and the Goblin's own mini-air force and they didn't even slow him down, he defeated them all. Heck, the only thing that even TOUCHED Spider-Man for that matter was the Green Goblin himself, even then all he really did was mess up his costume.

* Spiderman's first fight with Tombstone has moments on both sides. Spiderman arrives at Tombstone's office having finally learned who has been behind all the supervillain attacks and is ready to take him down once and for all, only to have Tombstone mop the floor with him. Awesome moment for Tombstone and NegatedMomentOfAwesome for Spiderman. Then Tombstone offers to pay Spiderman to look the other way. Even though Peter Parker needed the money, and the deal would have made Spiderman's job a lot easier, Peter spent a split second remembering Uncle Ben and said he would never look the other way again. Then Spiderman told Tombstone to do his worst, which, after the CurbStompBattle they just had, could have resulted in Tombstone beating Spiderman very badly. It turned out, Tombstone's worst was much worse than that. Tombstone opened his front door to reveal two cops standing behind it and said "Officers, Spiderman has trespassed on my property, assaulted my employees, and threatened me." All of which was true. PragmaticVillainy at its finest.

* Spidey's first fight with the Rhino is a long, arduous battle in which Spidey can't even hurt Rhino, only turned when he notices Rhino's odd fixation with guzzling water in-between thrashings [[AwesomenessByAnalysis and works out that his hide makes it nearly impossible for his body to cool itself.]] So he leads the big guy underground and baits him into smashing steam pipes to crank up the heat.

---> Green Goblin: Rule 1: Spidey must splat!\\
Spider-Man: Rule 2: ignore rule 1!

--->Green Goblin: We all wear masks, Spider-Man, but which one is real? The one that hides your face? Or the one that ''is'' your face?

--->Captain Stacy: She insisted on coming. Gave me the look.

--->'''Spider-Man:''' You just. Don't. Get it. You're good. Maybe at the whole hunting thing you're even the best. But, when it comes to the New York superpowered scene *catches Kraven's knife out of the air with ease* you're out of your league.

--->Spider-Man: You just. Don't. Get it. You're good. Maybe at the whole hunting thing you're even the best. But, when it comes to the New York superpowered scene *catches Kraven's knife out of the air with ease* you're out of your league.

-->Spider-Man: Take that pussycat! A lesson in humility courtesy of the original and STILL number one genetic misfit: Me.

* Spidey's first fight with the Rhino is a long, arduous battle in which Spidey can't even hurt Rhino, only turned when he notices Rhino's odd fixation with guzzling water in-between thrashings and working out his weakness. Then he leads the big guy underground and baits him into smashing steam pipes to crank up the heat.

* Wait, we mentioned "Final Curtain" before "Gangland"? That entire episode was pretty much a battle royale between Doc Ock, Silvermane, Tombstone and Spidey. Tops it all off with Opera (specifically Rigoletto) playing all throughout the entire fight and Spidey finishing the fight with Tombstone down in a sewer. And unlike [[CurbStompBattle their first encounter]], he wins.

** From the same episode, Peter telling off the snotty cheerleader he was trying to tutor. For anyone who's ever been blown off by the popular crowd before, it was quite satisfying.

-->'''Doctor Octopus''': '''SILENCE!''' you imperious ''moron!''

* What about Norman's reveal, he managed to be cool ''and'' scary... In his own sickening way of course.
* And another one I forgot, to me, this Goblin one-liner was awesome.

*** Hell, ''everything Green Goblin does'' is a CMOA.
