Featured review
The voice actor is tooo far over the top
Alright, I've only seen two episodes (I'll revise this later, as I'll probably watch them all) so feel free to downvote me, but I'm having a hard time listening to this iteration of Spidey. He recites the lines as if they're actually funny, and he's trying waay too hard with the corny dialogue - you can't make something funny just by saying it louder. Well, some people can, but not him, so far. It's probably not the actor's fault, I bet he's doing just what the director wanted - he's certainly skilled, but the tone here is pretty grating. The villains so far are much better. The humor from this sort of older animated show comes from its charming clunkiness, and the implausible nature of its superhero world. Not from having Spider-Man crack LAME jokes every other line of dialogue. He says them like he expects big laughs, if he were in front of a live audience. The only way they might be funny is in how they top themselves in their unfunniness.
It seems like a minority opinion among the reviews here, but I enjoyed Amazing Friends much more. It takes itself seriously within the confines of its world and you don't have to shrug off the awful jokes every twenty seconds. It probably helps that there, the characters have each other to bounce lines off, where here, Spidey is forced to comment on the proceedings alone, mostly. I really don't care about the stories, maybe they're better here, but that's not why I watch something like this.
We'll see if this grows on me. So far, the wisecracks are *not* cracking me up. Maybe there's a reason Amazing Friends was much more popular.
