Season 1: Ultimate Hit-or-Miss

Others have already pointed out the flaws in this show so i'll just go through things in a slightly different way

  • Hits
    • Introducing interesting concepts to the spider mythos like Harry being Venom for one.
    • Their treatment of Doc Ock and a surprisingly good performance from his voice actor Tom kenny.
    • Some of the guest heroes such as Cap and Thor ,kudos to RCS and TW's respective performances.
    • Iron Fist not being the only one nice to spidey but we also got to see parts of his backstory and be a complete badass.
    • Bringing villains like Taskmaster and Beetle and making them awesome in their episodes.
    • The Season Finale.

  • Misses
    • The pacing and padding problems in some episodes which detracts the feel and goes completely out of place.
    • Peter's team mates( with the exception of iron fist)being complete jerks to him and not humbling them throughout the course of the season.
    • The Cutaway Gags
    • The wasted potential of a story arc in favor of standalone episodes.
    • Sacrificing potential character development for the sake of cheap humor.

In short this season has been both a hit and miss for me with part of it being interested in the newly introduced concepts for the show but at the same time the other groaning at some of the execution and the misplaced humor.

This really could have been a great show if not for the executive meddling and it's attempts to capture it's audience.

I feel like this is having a civil war in the writing department. Half the writers want to tell a story, and the other half want to create mindless, silly fun.
