* IKnewIt: In the first season, we are introduced to the Green Goblin. Most people by now know that [[spoiler: Norman Osborn]] is the Green Goblin, and at first the show didn't do much to deny this, giving several indications that it was him. Then later that season, we were shown that it was in fact [[spoiler: Harry Osborn]]. When Goblin made his return in the second season, the final episodes played up the idea that other people could be the Goblin, giving the audience some very serious misdirection. Of course, all of this was proven to be just subterfuge, as in the final episode it was revealed that the Goblin had, in fact, been [[spoiler: Norman Osborn]] all along. Adding to the confusion, of course, was the fact that [[spoiler:Harry Osborn]] was ''also'' the Goblin in the comics for a while.

** Here, Steve Blum plays a flying villain with a high-pitched voice who causes trouble for the hero ''and'' the villain at different times, and is willing to backstab anyone ForTheEvulz. Years later, he'd play a very similar character when he was cast as Starscream in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime''.
*** Funnily enough, he isn't the only actor in this show to be later cast in ''Prime'': Josh Keaton (Peter Parker/Spider-Man) would later voice Jack Darby (one of the show's [[TokenHuman Token Humans]]) and Clancy Brown (the voice of the Rhino) would be cast as the terrorist Silas.

* AccidentalDownerEnding: Despite many Spider-Man fans considering this show to have the best depiction of Peter Parker ever put on TV, [[ScrewedByTheLawyers the show was canceled after its second season due to contract issues with]] Creator/{{Disney}}. Once Disney had the rights to put Spider-Man on TV, they chose to let ''Spectacular'' die. As such, the series ends on a [[BittersweetEnding bittersweet and sad note]]: Spider-Man defeated the Goblin (now revealed to be Norman Osborn) and kept everyone safe, but this causes Harry to hate Spider-Man, who's wracked in guilt over killing Norman and leaving Harry without a father. Even worse, Peter's personal life is now at its lowest point as, along with said guilt, his friendship with Harry is very likely strained due to both his newfound hatred of Spidey and Harry manipulating Gwen into staying with him upon learning of her and Peter's feelings for one another. Harry is now [[ManipulativeBastard manipulating Gwen]] into staying with him when it's clear she'd rather be with Peter, Eddie Brock is still in prison, and Norman is revealed to [[ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated still be alive]]. Oh, and Peter and Liz's relationship ends on a painful note and it's likely that she will hate him once more. And Black Cat hates Spidey for making her father stay in prison by guilt tripping him. In short, Peter is mostly alone. Meanwhile, due to Curt being blackmailed by Miles Warren, the Connors are forced to leave the lab and relocate to Florida, leaving the lab to Warren, whom they don't trust, and the last scene reveals that Norman somehow survived the explosion as he boards a plane and very likely continues his evil doing. WordOfGod released a list of things [[WhatCouldHaveBeen that would have made it into the show]], including the introduction of the Carnage symbiote, the death of Captain Stacy, Mary Jane and Peter becoming a couple, etc.

*** Funnily enough, Clancy Brown (the voice of the Rhino) would be cast in that show, too, as the terrorist Silas.

** On a more positive note, Sony was pretty hands off during the production of the show with the only stipulation that the staff had to recreate some scenes from the movies during the fights (hence why some shots look familar). This ended up working out though as it help foster familiarity for fans of the movies. Plus it was pretty cool seeing them animated in a different context.

Jonah Jameson, Angela Villanueva as Aunt May, Creator/XochitlUgarte as Gwen Stacy and Creator/RaulAnaya as Flint Marko/Sandman.

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: [=iTunes=]' episode summaries get an embarassing number of details about the series wrong:
