Been watching Ultimate Spider-Man because I ran out of YouTube to watch and I’d had it suggested to me by a couple people before.
It’s pretty decent actually. It’s your average “high school kids” retelling of the Spider-Man story (they skip the origin which is nice) where Spider-Man is put in charge of a SHIELD team consisting of young Luke Cage, White Tiger, Iron Fist, and Nova (Sam Alexander version) with all the moral lessons/teamwork learning/advice to kids kinda stuff you’d expect from that kind of thing.
But it has good reworkings of the origins of certain heroes and villains, plus there are a metric ton of fun references to Marvel stuff (Howard the Duck, Throg, Spider-Ham, Doop, Squirrel Girl), regular Stan Lee cameos, Agent Coulson is all over it, plus there’s been the usual Disney and Star Wars jokes. Even a Seinfeld joke and a reference to The Warriors. Drake Bell is a decent Spidey, and J.K. Simmons is JJJ.
It’s very definitely a kid’s show, and I dunno if I could actually sit down and focus on it, but it’s fun background noise.
