I need to clarify that I don't think it's an awful series. It's well-animated, and Lucas has a great design that manages to look appealing while still looking like a real spider.
It's just a little kid doing little kid stuff. That's it. Very little conflict or anything.
If there was a mature adult character to play off of Lucas (like in the Pixar films), or some dark, scary, or sad themes to balance out the cutesy stuff (like in Bambi and the Don Bluth films), I'd probably like the series a lot more. If cutesy kid stuff is your thing, you'll probably like this series fine.
Despite my criticism, I still look forward to the upcoming TV series. Who knows? Maybe they'll fix the above-mentioned criticisms by adding more mature adult characters.
Too saccharine for me

But the series is just... really corny.
