* IKnewIt - In the first season, we are introduced to 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 he. 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. Even this troper, who is rather well versed in Spider-Man lore, thought that possibly they would change the identity of the Goblin. 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.

* FanNickname - Many.

** Doc Ock has two. Pre-breakdown is "[[TheWoobie D'awww]]c Ock", post- is "DOCTOR OCTOPUS, LORD OF THE VAMPIRES". Just watch the episode with the famed opera fight to see what I'm talking about.

* [[HeyItsThatVoice Hey It's That Voice]] - Try to watch a whole episode and '''not''' recognize at least one character's VA from a different show. The voice actors of this series are on the same level as Comicbook/TheAvengers in both quality and quantity:

*** For added [[{{Irony}} irony points]], the very same person voiced Harry Osborn in the first two video game adaptations of the Spider-Man movies. [[MindScrew Think about that one for a second.]]
**** And Harry as the New Goblin in ''[[{{Spider-Man Friend Or Foe}} Spider-Man: Friend or Foe]]''. Helping in the irony? The below-mentioned JamesArnoldTaylor, who voiced Harry, did the voice of Spider-Man in the ''[[SpiderManBattleForNewYork Spider-Man: Battle for New York]]'' and the aforementioned ''Friend or Foe'', making Keaton as Spidey and Taylor as Harry a literal role reversal.

** Due to the various girls Pete/Spidey attracts, fans have decided to rename the show "BITCHES LOVE SPIDER-MAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES".*

ScrewedByTheLawyers: Unlike most cases of the trope, there was no malice behind the cancellation of the show, just poor timing legalities. After Disney's purchase of Marvel, Sony decided to give up the ''television'' rights to Spider-Man in order to keep the rights to the Film Franchise. Due to this, and Sony still holding the rights to the Spectacular Spider-Man series, Marvel would have had to '''''pay Sony''''' to continue production of Spectacular Spider-Man. Thus {{Series/Ultimate Spider-Man}} was created instead.
