U LIEK SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN, RIGHT?
Apr. 8th, 2008 07:07 amNo, really. It's story threads that continue from episode to episode, but with each INDIVIDUAL episode having a self-contained villain and plot. So while fighting the Lizard may only take one episode, the build-up to his appearance takes multiple episodes and the actions Peter takes in that episode have ramifications further down the line. It's basically classic comic book storytelling, set in the Lee/Dikto era, with some touches from the movies and the Ultimate series to modernize it.
The only complaints I have (besides Jolly Jonah's soul patch... shudder) is that Curt Connors has a robotic arm. Given that such a huge part of his story is that he doesn't have an arm, giving him such a futuristic prosthetic... well, you could fan-wank that he can't feel anything with a robot arm, but that's a bit complicated for the kids in the audience, isn't it?
The second, and I feel this is going to be more specific to fandom, is that the characters are too kawai to slash. Not that that's going to stop anyone but me, but it's the same "problem" you see on Tim Drake in the Batman TAS.

Lookit him! He's tiny! How can anyone read about Superman's dick going into that and not think "Oh my God, something's going to get ruptured!"? Unless you're just taking Tiny!Sprite!Tim as an artistic representation of a teenager, who in "reality" is a more bone-worthy young man, but really, that's just missing the point of thinking about cartoons fucking.
