I'm still mad. I will always be mad.
On my deathbed, I will still be mad.
When the seas heat up and the world descends into global catastrophe, I will still be fucking mad.
In the afterlife, when I get to the gates of Heaven, St. Peter and his angels will ask me "Are you still mad about the cancellation of Spectacular Spider-Man?" and my answer will be "Yes".
When the race of man is no more and the ruins of Man's cities have crumbled into dust, I will still be mad. Ancient Alien civilizations will find the smoldering, volcanic corpse of the planet Earth and decode the secrets of our ancient "Internet", and they will find this post and so my eternal anger will be brought forth into the far-flung reaches of space.
When the last tiny flash of heat in the universe dies and all descends into entropy, my hatred will remain.
I'm mostly shitposting, but it is still frustrating.
If its been ten years... I don't know, Spidey feels like a character you kind of age out of fairly quickly.
Hence why the movies went for college age for the most part.

He did the voice for adult Peter a few times, like in Shattered Dimensions on the DS.

Spidey feels like a character that you get to voice for a couple things and then you move out of the way.
They’re not avoiding casting him as Spider-Man. They’re honouring his performance as Spider-Man by casting him as other characters in the mythos. Like when Mark Hamill voiced Tony Zucco on The Batman, and Darth Bane on The Clone Wars. Or when Adam Weat would do basically anything for the last 25 years of his career.
I really love his voice for Electro, too. Marvel should cast Spidey and his characters with prominent, varied New York accents more often.

Apparently the VA for 90s Spider-Man voiced Electro in the Ultimate cartoon, so having Keaton voice Electro here has precedent.

For The Spectacular Spider-Man yes, but Keaton last role as Spider-Man was in Spider-Man: Edge of Time. Christopher Daniel Barnes also voices 2099 in the game & he also had the chance to reprise as Spider-Man in Marvel Heroes.

I'm going to seriously doubt that's their take in all this.
Yes, he was.

You could almost consider Keaton's The Last Dance as Spidey because in that he not only voices spidey, but also evil CEO Peter Parker from 2099 who is a stone-cold and ruthless man, even as they have a handful of philosophical confrontations.

I only recall the two Peters meeting once and the rest of the time he was in opposition to Miguel.
The Fastest Man Alive
Why?
Especially when you consider other Spidey voice actors coming back to do other roles.
Hell, Shattered Dimensions went so far as to get Neil Patrick Harris to come back to voice Peter again. And no one remembers the MTV show.

Huh didn't know he voiced Spidey.

Technically, he did it twice. The MTV animated series, and Shattered Dimensions.
The Head of the Hydra
Wait was he evil CEO Pete from the future?

That was apparently Josh Keaton in Edge of Time. Harris was in the first game as Amazing Spider-Man.

Oh the 4 Spider-Men game.

Heh Keaton voicing evil Pete from the future is funny irony.

I barely saw MTV Spider-Man when I was a kid. I remembered the Kingpin episode, at least. I rewatched a few episodes recently and it was a lot darker than I remembered!
I remember being annoyed that they killed off like every villain on the show.

Didn't help that most of them weren't even Spider-Man's usual rogues.
IHE
I'm not sure I understand what you're saying here now.
The Fastest Man Alive
You claim that Josh Keaton being a previous Spider-Man has nothing to do with him being cast in other Spider-Man properties as other characters.
I provided examples of this exact sort of thing happening not only in other shows, but in other Spider-Man media with other Spider-Man voice actors.
You haven’t answered my initial question. In the face of evidence of this fairly common industry practice, why do you claim it’s not the case?
IHE
Alright, my 1st impression on your question was that they (Marvel) were trying respect Keaton's performance as Spider-Man by not having him reprise his role as Spider-Man. I find that to be pretty silly all things considered since they constantly have Steve Blum & Fred Tatascoire reprising as Wolverine & Hulk.
Feels like I misunderstood what you meant altogether at this point.
The Fastest Man Alive
Yes. That was not what I meant.
They’re respecting his work as Spidey by repeatedly inviting him back to do other things. And people tend not to be Spidey more than once. Two different ideas.
That guy
Meh. It's just an Arkham game but they've replaced the character.
Your momma's so dumb she thinks oral sex means talking dirty.
Yeah. Hard to believe it's been what, ten years now?
And it is weird how they won't have him reprise the roll. Earth's Mightiest Heroes was frustrating enough (what with having Drake Bell dub over him) but now it does kinda feel like they are avoiding just letting him be Spidey again.
