The one thing that fans are assured of by the director responsible for the "visual looks" is huge action scenes. He wants to show Spider-Man making huge jumps and leaps.

          still strongly feel that this show should have gone for a bit longer so it solves the cliffhanger. Spider Man the animated series was the best Spider Man program.I love how Peter was a teen and it felt cool seeing peter taking off his clothes to reveal his Spidey costume. It felt action packed. But now there is the new Ultimate Spider Man which is more aimed at little kids rather than the more mature audiences of the previous Spider Man shows which I find it a bit dissatisfying but it is pretty good and I love the spectacular spider man and I agree he is spectacular:D Jordan.F
