In March 2008, we saw the debut ofThe SpectacularSpider-Man.
To call it a homerun would be an understatement.
Anyone whos ever tried writing something family friendly will tell you its a difficult line to walk.

Not to mention the fact that it put together compelling mysteries and stories.
I originally watched this show as a child when it first aired.
It doesnt happen often.

Yet, this family friendlySpider-Manshow managed to have me on the edge of my more than once.
All that being said, its not perfect.
The 20-minute run-time definitely hurt the show.

Still, even when the show feels a bit fast-paced, it still manages to construct compelling stories.
The writers do a great job setting up a fascinating political struggle between Peters many enemies.
Thats all before weve even begun talking about the amazing cast of characters.
Even thats just scratching the surface.
I simply dont have enough time to go through all the extremely well-done characters in the immense cast list.
Short answer: Hollywood bullshit.
See, in 2009 Disney acquired Marvel while Sony still had a deal that gave them rights to Spider-Man.
