The Hollywood Reporter have broken the news that Disney XD's first programme in their Marvel Universe lineup, Ultimate Spider-Man, has been renewed for a second season. This news should come as no surprise as it has been fairing well with the younger demographic, despite many older Spider-Man fans being disappointed with the kiddie tone. Below are some excerpts from THR's article, including some hints of what we should expect in the second season of the show.


The creative team behind the animated series, which includes co-executive producers Man of Action Studios as well as creative consultant Paul Dini, will return for Season 2. Ultimate Spider-Man scribe Brian Michael Bendis (Powers) will also return as consulting producer and pen additional installments of the series.

Season 2 will feature Spider-Man team with other heroes from the Marvel Universe including the Avengers as well as explore the origin of S.H.I.E.L.D. trainees with more revealed about Nova, Iron Fist, Power Man and White Tiger.

"With Season 2, the series introduces popular Marvel heroes and villains you've never seen before on the small screen," Head of Marvel Television Jeph Loeb said.

Added Disney XD vp and GM David Levine: "As the anchor of our Marvel Universe block, Ultimate Spider-Man Season 2 will be back with more humor, villains and adventurous storylines that boys (and girls) will love."

It's a great show if you look at it for what it is, a children's television show. The animation is good, the humor is funny but meant for children, and the length of the show is right for a child who only has an attention span of about 20 minutes lol. It's not as good as the 90s Spider-Man cartoon, but still it's a great show.

While I will miss Avengers: EMH, I am welcome to more Ultimate Spider-Man.



I'm not afraid to say it's one of my favorite Marvel Animated Series of all time.

Okay, look, here's how I evaluate the two camps here:

For those who like the show, that's fine, but see if kids can tell if it's dumb or not.

For those who don't like the show, simply follow this wonderful piece of advice:

I struggled through about 4 episodes and wrote it off. Didn't care for it at all. I can see how the kids would probably like it.

THEY NEED TO GET RID OF THOSE FUNNY EFFECTS. Spider-Man is a superhero, not a super loony toon.
