[COLOR= rgb(51, 51, 51)]For the most part this looks good, it's just those digressions into "animated sight gags" that has the potential to kill this whole thing for me. What say you all? [/COLOR]
Brand new trailer for ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN which pretty much trumps all the others. WOW. The animation looks incredible. May love this series after all.
And here's the official trailer for SUPERMAN VS. THE ELITE. Specs for the Blu-Ray Combo can be found here.
[COLOR= rgb(51, 51, 51)]Saw the 2-part ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN premiere this morning and I have to say it's got the best action animation I have EVER seen for a Marvel/DC super hero cartoon series. Character animation is good, too. What will take some getting used to is the rampant comedy, and the min-sketches the show diverts to. If the animation wasn't so top of the line, the comedy would kill it dead. Some of the skits and d[/COLOR]ialogue were actually funny, but there's WAY too much of it on this series.
Interesting to note there is no opening credits song/music. The opening credits feel more movie oriented. The show simply starts with the credits rolling along, then after Spider-Man thwarts a crime, or gets into trouble, THEN the ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN title shows up. Very nicely done. I was dreading some stupid song, like SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN got.

In this weeks TV Guide they have a brief article on the May 6th episode of ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN. Noteworthy, due to Parker taking on the Hulk, and the fact that the entire episode is done in the manner of a "found footage flick." The entire ep is seen through the eyes of a cell phone camera. There's also an explanation at the end as to why the vibe of the sure is the way it is: "So often in Hollywood, creative people are hired and then handcuffed, but Marvel didn't want us tied in any way to Spider-Man's history," says MOA's (Man Of Action) Steven T. Seagle. "They said, 'What if he'd never been created for the comics? What if he was created today specifically for animation? Let's start over!' And that's what we did. It's been very liberating."
