Crib from the Flash TV Series. Cast him as Uncle Ben.
That way kids will have to ask their parents why they are crying.

Didn't see anything posted.
I'm looking forward to this reboot since I watched the first season of Ultimate Spider-Man and wasn't too impressed with that show. It spent way too much time focusing on guest heroes/villians instead of Spidey's core cast. Heck in the first season I think we got a grand total of four of Spidey's major villains over 26 episodes.
The Family Guy style cut away gags did not fit the character at all either, and felt more like a Deadpool kind of thing.
Also, Ultimate Spidey felt like the most immature incarnation of Peter yet were he constantly acted irresponsible despite that being the entire character's catalyst for becoming a super hero.
Back to basics in this case sounds good to me, although I'm a bit disappointed we're going back to high school instead of college, or an era with Peter as a young adult. Here's hoping at least that the show turns out decent.

You joke but Uncle Ben saved the Multiverse in the 90s cartoon

Get Greg Weisman & Josh Keaton on board & I'm happy.
Though I suppose this means that both Avengers & Guardians may see reboots in the near future. Maybe Marvel can finally get a new X-Men cartoon going, but I won't get my hopes up.

The MCU as well as both recent Spidey cartoons (Spectacular & Ultimate) glossed over the origin. I'd be shocked if they didn't do the same here.
I just want a third/fourth season of spectacular 
, they could seriously just re-air it at this point , it's 7 years old now. Put season 1 and 2 up on whatever channel is airing this and then have season 3 air next fall with season 4 the fall after that. It's already got High school spiderman (in fact each season was supposed to be a literal season of the year during his 10th or 11th year of school)

He has been punching bad guys without any trouble.
It was just the 90s one that wasn't allowed to punch for some dumb reason.

I'm skeptical but we'll see. No idea what this means for their animated universe.
Apparently the Avengers & GotG shows will continue on (as I was told by ComicGAF). This will likely be its own universe.
Weisman is a smart guy, he's not staring at his phone, waiting for a response. Spectacular ain't getting continued. Maybe if he wanted to make a comic or something, but that's it.
He could do Adult Peter, but probably not Teenage Peter.
Oh based Spider-totem, no. This is another spider-man cartoon I'll skip over.

It didn't say anything in the article about them recasting Spidey.

Please, for god's sake, don't be as bad as Ultimate Spider-Man. Dear lord, what a train wreck.The animation can be terrible for all I care as long as the rest of it is top tier. Spectacular Spider-Man looked awful and had choppy animation but it's still by far the best Spidey show.
This is Disney though, so it'll likely be another toy commercial.

Sorry for the bump but I actually just caught up on the last series,
Its good news but also a bit disappointing because while it was bad alot of the time having characters like White Tiger, Iron Fist, Luke Cage and Agent Venom
around was a bit more interesting than just a Spiderman series.
Not to mention the most recent development of
Mary Jane using Carnage to become Spiderwoman
And now im worried its going to be another case of a Marvel series slowly growing and finding its way and as it nears that next level they cancel it in favor of another new series again.
Avengers Assemble is seemingly on its last legs as well however the cast was the only redeeming factor of that series(and supposedly they changed that in S3) so I don't mind but EMH was great,
so was Wolverine & the X-Men and the understandably cancelled Spectacular Spiderman.

Ultimate spent most of it's life as a show for five year olds.
Let it die the death it deserves.

I didn't say it doesn't deserve it, just that it had some decent ideas.
it just makes me worried the new series will start as "basic" and by the time they do some decent stuff Marvel will throw that series out as well.
Like if they actually get to someone like Silk or SpiderGwen it would probably be a S3 or S4 type of thing and Marvel would be winding it down for something else.
Maybe Spiderman movies being stable will change that.

Yeah no kidding. Its not like there's a whole new generation of kids who havent seen the old shows. They should ignore them and keep pandering to adults who watch cartoons. There's your major market!

It could be Hulk:Agents of Smash?
So seems "back to basics" means another team show, but this time focused on the new Spider-family with Miles and Spider-Gwen
At least from the merch

Wrong
I know nothing about the character, but it's nice to see how quick Marvel is in incorporating Spider-Gwen into other media. (Not as quick with Miles but still.) I think one of the more shitty parts about being a comics fan is how other media can take ages to catch up with legacy heroes.

God dammit. Any confidence I had just went away, cause all I can think of right now is S.M.A.S.H.

Spider-Gwen was already in the Ultimate show actually http://youtu.be/HvZEKcfNCjg
I'm a bitter Spectacular fan who didn't watch Ultimate, but that's neat. Knew about Miles but not Gwen. My point still stands!
Now if I can just get all my Batkids on screen at the same time.

Spider Gwen is in the spiderman cartoon. But no powers, just tech. The Aunt May of her universe is her Q
But they ahd Squadron Supreme and The Thunderbotls

Been meaning to ask this but in the comics is Ms Marvel an inhuman as well? I knew nothing about her besides her existence when that episode came on so I was shocked to find that out in the show

I'm down with Miles getting more cartoon appearances so I'm supportive of whatever this show turns out to be. Personally not a fan of Spider-Gwen goofin' around with Peter because the point of her AU was that she is Spider-Man instead of Peter and the versions of Spider-Man villains she interacts with and now here she might just be relegated to being girl Spider-Man.

AA is better when it doesn't follow the movies....although Falcon would be better if they did
Indeed she is.

I like Miles.
I like Spider-Gwen.
But they work better as a characters when not playing second fiddle to Peter Parker. Especially Spider-Gwen.
The most compelling thing to me in the Spider-Gwen comic is seeing how different her universe is compared to 616. Plus, the guilt she carries over letting Peter die is pretty compelling and well-done, especially when she's interacting with
Unless we're dealing with cross-dimensional stuff, then this version of Spider-Gwen is just gonna be...Gwen Stacy with spider powers?
The Marvel cartoons on Disney have been almost universally awful, so my expectations are low. That being said, at least there's nowhere to go but up?

Kinda bored of Ultron in everything tho. Still feel like Thanos was rushed af, although that scene where
Arsenal transforms into Ultron and knabs the infinity gauntlet with all the stones and absorbs it

Thank god now just work Silk in there eventually.
Im over solo Spiderman just about as much as im tired of solo Batman.
They need to give Miles and Gwen their own shows instead of having a stupid team up lie this. Marvel couldn't give less of a fuck and I am fairly certain this is ping to blow.
I'd love to eat crow, by the way. It'd be the highlight of my week to do so, cause the last good (and more importantly not garbage) Marvel animated show we had was Avengers EMH. I just have low expectations.

Kinda random: I'm impressed that Spider-Gwen. Seems like Marvel/Disney are a little less boy focused.
