** Also from ''Home'', Peter meets and becomes interested in a girl named Carol and the two set up a date. Carol turned out to be an alien. This predates Peter's budding relationship with the half-alien heroine ComicBook/CarolDanvers when she was Ms. Marvel. Both Carols also have blonde hair.

* SeasonalRot: For many fans, the series began to decline considerably in quality after the first season, particularly because of Spider-Man's traditional rogues gallery being phased out in favor of original villains (many of whom inexplicably had green skin) and many of the later episodes consisting of recycled footage from older episodes.

* ValuesDissonance: The show had other racial caricatures that, by today's standards, are incredibly racist. "One-Eyed Idol" has the savage Aborigine guide in employ of the GreatWhiteHunter gunning for Spider-Man, "The Fantastic Fakir" features almost every SimSimSalabim trope in existence (complete with a villain whose entire theme is rope tricks), and the "Super Swami"... is actually racist in so many ways it's hard to nail down just what nationality he's supposed to be.
** Sexist, too - women are usually either seen in subservient domestic positions or featured as crazed villains. [[FairForItsDay Then again]], Peter and Betty do seem to have a largely platonic working relationship.

* FridgeBrilliance: Paul Soles was basically the only Spidey VA who actually tried to make his Spider Man voice sound considerably different from his Peter Parker voice which would help explain why nobody could recognize Spidey as Peter Parker when people such as Betty Brant hear Spider Man's voice.

to:

* FridgeBrilliance: Peter Parker's normal voice was typically high-pitched, like most teenagers, but his voice in the Spider-Man costume was unsettlingly deeper and more adult (read: more typically "[[PowerMakesYourVoiceDeep heroic]]"; helped by Paul Soles being a few years shy of '''40''' when he began voicing the webhead). Why does he do this? Because he had a secret identity he was basically trying desperately to protect, so putting on a deeper voice as Spider-Man would ensure that Peter's friends, family and acquaintances wouldn't recognize him as Spider-Man. Notably, Soles is the only Spidey VA voice actor to date who actually tried to make his Spider Man voice sound considerably different from his Peter Parker voice which would help explain why nobody could recognize Spidey as Peter Parker when people such as Betty Brant hear Spider Man's voice.did this.

* HarsherInHindsight: The climactic fight in "The Menace of Mysterio" feels rather prophetic today as the superhero and supervillain's fight drifts into the set of a {{Western}} and dominates the action. In the real world, the {{Western}} would fade as a dominant genre while the SuperHero one is now on top as Hollywood's big blockbuster movie material.
