I was actually thinking wouldn't the EMP have shorted out his web-shooters too?
But there seems to be plenty of production shakeups nevertheless. Really makes you wonder.I mean, it's Spider-Man and Season 2 was greenlighted before Season 1 even released. It clearly hasn't left an imprint, though.
I do think that on paper it looks like the 2017 show but with probably better production values, though it's really hard to gauge at this point.Definitely. But Spectacular was also a no-nonsense show. By that I mean its own thing, no inserting other Marvel characters, no gimmick (e.g. MCU spinoff, working with Norman, etc.) and just adapted the comics. It's more like X-Men '97 than FN seems to be.
It's not impossible for FN to match the rest but there's only so much you can do with a weird unnatural premise IMO.
I can't help but think they saw Ganke in the movies and thought "well, I guess we need Peter to have an Asian BFF with magic potential in our show too."
It's like they refuse to use Peter's actual supporting cast or (gasp) normal people!
I'm not sure this is such a problem. There have been countless film and TV adaptations of Spider-Man's world over the years. There will no doubt be countless others.I'm not sure I am honestly that bothered about seeing yet another version of Harry, MJ or whoever.
Am I excited to see Peter interacting with Nico Minoru? No not at all. And in fact, my interest in the animated Spider-Man shows that Marvel are currently making is basically zero. But do I see a problem with it? Absolutely not. Why not? She's a relatively interesting character. It might fall flat. But who knows, it might be an inspired idea. Why not give it a go?
I would caveat all this however by saying that I will not be watching it!
