This is not a true Spider-Man show. I have watched the whole series and I find myself despising Disney after they cancelled Spectacular Spider-Man for this. The art style is amazing. I'll give this show that. The art looks beautiful and fluent. Something Spectacular didn't exactly have. But it wastes such amazing Art talent for something so worthless. Until they trade the amazing Art quality for the terrible one that the Avengers Assembled show has. And it is awful, it looks almost cheap compared to season 1. Which it is, but still. The writing is awful, the jokes are not clever and Spidey is just spouting nonsense the whole time. Not only is it cringeworthy most of the time, but it also takes away from all the serious moments this show could've had. As I recall there has been only 1 (White Tiger and Kraven) but Drake Bell's high pitched voice just takes away from the moment. The writing does improve around Season 3 when his jokes begin making sense and he stops breaking the 4th wall (why did they think that was a good idea!?) all the time. However by then the show's art style is near garbage (Avengers Assembled style) and the show is almost done. This show was made solely for the purpose of merchandise and getting kids who are smarter than Disney gives them credit for into Marvel. They used Spider-Man, the most iconic and easily recognizable hero in Marvel and among them when considering every hero ever, as a lure into the show. Spider-Man gets a motorcycle in this show. Why? Why would a guy who can run around 130 mph and swing, crawl, and jump around New York City, need a motorcycle? Merchandise. Plain and simple. Spider-Man does not break the 4th wall. Deadpool does that. The reason Spidey does so in this show is simply to have sight gags and bright colours to keep kids entertained. It finally stops near the end of the series but it already lost many people because of the stupid 4th wall breaks, among other things. Leave that stuff to the experts (Deapool). Spidey has sidekicks in this show (?). Nova, White Tiger, Luke Cage, and. Iron Fist. They are always around Spidey and getting him outta jams and again, taking away all suspension this show could have. In a show called "Ultimate" Spider-Man, focus on Spidey. It's okay to have other characters show up, but when they are everywhere all the time, it takes screen time away from the title character. They got rid of those 4 near the end (around Season 3), but then again, the show was almost done. All in all the show is bad. It is okay-good at the start of the Spider-Verse episodes, but that's it. Bad art style from the end of season 2-4, bad voice actor choices (Josh Keaton would have worked better), and the fact that this show is just one big advertisment for the MCU and merchandise due to Spider-Man being easily recognizable, making him extremely bankable. And it seems Disney is trying the exact same this with the new Spidey show, showing that they learned nothing from this one.

I paid for the full season, and today Netflix updates and has more episodes for season 3 than I do. I paid more the seasom than several months of Netflix and i get worse access. Unless this is a technical issue I'm so very unhappy with the distribution of the product.
