* RetCon: The series is generally treated as a sequel of sorts to ''[[SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries Spider-Man: The Animated Series]]'', but it does alter some details regarding Venom and Carnage (mostly that the suit was never removed from Brock, and removing [[Comicbook/DoctorStrange Dormammu and Baron Mordo]] from being involved in Venom's return & Carnage's origin).
** There's also the matter of Mary Jane's sudden return despite her still being "lost in time" in the end of the original series, although the original series ended with Madam Webb taking Spider-Man to retrieve MJ, so that one's justified.

Generally, the series isn't held in high regards compared to other ''Spider-Man'' series as it viewed as putting Spider-Man in a situation that's un-Spider-Man-like, like putting him on another world. However, it has gained a cult following due to the same reasons, and it is currently being shown on DisneyXD.

* DuelingShows: This was originally going to be a straight AnimatedAdaptation of [[{{Marvel 2099}} Spider Man 2099]] and MarvelComics' answer to ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond''. To say that it was nowhere near as successful would be an understatement, as it was canceled after one season.

After three episodes, rather than given a different timeslot, the series was outright pulled from the schedule. Over a year later, the remaining episodes were burned off - [[BlatantLies completely coincidentally]] in the months leading up to the release of [[{{Film/Spider-Man}} the first movie]].
