I was spoiled by The Spectacular Spiderman.
So, of course, I didn't think that Ultimate Spiderman could possibly live up to the preceding series.
Was I wrong?
Yes.
Drastically.
Now, during the premier this morning, I missed the first episode, but the second episode was boss. I was very much worried about the whole "team of teenaged superheroes" thing, because I thought that the show was trying to appeal to kids (yelch - not that I'm not a kid, `cause I am, but if you can't handle the hardcore superheroes, psh). But they didn't!
It's still Spidey, your friendly neighborhood Spiderman. Same look, same city, same everything, really. And still funny. Very funny. To me, anyway, but I laugh at almost everything so maybe I'm not the one to tell you what's hilarious and what's not. Anyway.
Not to mention, I love how it gets into Spidey's head. The flashbacks, his thoughts, his massive ego trips. All so well done, and epically entertaining.
And the storyline is super cool too. Spidey gets an offer to work with S.H.I.E.L.D., yada yada, real superhero, Nick Fury (epic dude, by the way - just thought I needed to emphasize his epicness), and Ultimate Spiderman. Spidey is good, but not good enough. He must be better. And that's why he's training. He's got a lot to learn, apparently. Humorously. Quite entertainingly, actually.
However, I must admit something. Don't get me wrong, I do love Spidey with passion.I wouldn't watch Spiderman if I didn't.
But as of right now, he's not my favorite character in this series. Second favorite, yes.
But not first.
Iron Fist is my favorite character already because, 1. He's voiced by Greg Cipes, man. I mean, come on. The man is a vocal genius. Kevin Levin? Lt. Seltzer? And soon enough Michelangelo in the new TMNT series! Come. On.
And, 2. He's got the look. The Levin Look. The shaggy hair, the everything. Only blond. But still. Epic.
And, of course, 3. Just listen to him. The guy's like a poet with superpowers and a dragon tattoo. That's just unlawfully boss.
But Spidey is next. Because he's Spidey. Duh.
Rant over, I give this show 8/10. Why eight after I just ranted like that? Because I've only seen one episode so far. Maybe it was just exceptionally good. And maybe no other episode will even touch it.
But who knows?
Patiently awaiting new episodes,

(Fun Fact: Raph is actually my favorite turtle, because of his awesome-sauce-ness, but I love them all. And Michelangelo is all epic, so yeah. Haha.)
