Yes, we all know the "Spider-Man Pointing" meme. But that's just the tip of the spider-web when it comes to this weird cartoon.
The Big Picture Ever since Spider-Man first appeared in Amazing Fantasy #15, he's been adapted to just about every medium possible, but no adaptation rides the line between conventional and strange better than the simply titled 1960s animated TV show, Spider-Man. This show first premiered in 1967, starting out with your typical Spidey villains including Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus, as well as the expected stories, but as creative forces changed behind the scenes, so did the show...
Spidey's first jump off the page started out pretty conventional by his standards. The first season of Spider-Man kicks off with a friendly neighborhood representation of ol' webhead. There are pretty standard battles against foes like the Green Goblin , Doc Ock , the Lizard , and Mysterio , along with the usual supporting cast -inckuding characters Aunt May, Mary Jane Watson , and, of course, J. Jonah Jameson .
‘Spider-Man’ Isn’t Afraid To Get Silly Close Thankfully, everyone behind the scenes had a field day with just about every visual aspect possible besides the actual character animation. This cartoon is full of goofy visual transitions between scenes and especially generous with shots starting out being framed normally before spinning out of control like a "breaking news" newspaper flying at the screen.
Iconic Marvel Character J. Jonah Jameson Anchors the Spider-Man Cartoon The characters are all on point as well. Everyone, ranging from Spidey to his friends and foes, is perfectly characterized. That being said, this show cranks their personalities up quite a bit. Everyone expresses themselves in the most lovably obnoxious way. The way that people talk and think in Spider-Man could best be compared to your friend who you're driving home right after they had wisdom-teeth surgery.
