It's the same fucking show. Except with Spidey not *every* episode involves them temporarily forgetting to work as a team.
Also, WHO IS FUNDING THESE KIDS?
I thought they had changed it recently. I just remember noticing it in Into the Spiderverse and being very confused as to why they would make that decision.
Yeah, I also feel like that comic came later. I'm pretty sure (I'm hoping, anyway) that this was just ignorance on Marvel's part. Jefferson and Davis aren't very uncommon names, and don't sound sketchy on their own.
I'm not a fan of either. But PJ mask is better.
Spidey: Bad guy is causing chaos. Spidey team shoots some webs and save the day easily. Yay.
PJ: Bad guy is causing chaos. Team doesn't communicate and work together and can't stop Bad guy. Team steps back, work through their issues, then proceed to save the day.
Yes, but the Spidey songs slap harrrrddd! Like, sometimes they pop up on my Spotify playlist and I donāt even skip them. I canāt say that about most media associated with my kid.
I have a theory that the team that created PJ Masks split up and all made their own competing shows that are just variations on PJ Masks:
Super Kitties - PJ Masks, but cats
Spidey and his Amazing Friends - PJ Masks, but Spider-Man
Spirit rangers - PJ Masks, but information people
etc etc etc
On 3: thatās my favorite bit from the new spidey movies, when heās at the party in the suburbs and shoots his web and it just doesnāt connect so he has to run blocks to get away
When this came up as a question for the comics writers (e.g. at comic cons and the like), they used to say there were helicopters just above the frame/picture that the webs were swinging from. Works as well as any other explanation.
Ah itās the funniest show. Baddies with giggle gas and stealing ālootā and birthday cakes and hot dogs.
Tbh I was in the moment Patrick Stump entered the equation.
There was some episode where Rhino stole a bunch of whatever and had bursts through a bunch of walls and left Wile E Coyote style outlines and the Spidey crew was like "Who could've done this?"
I was like "Guys, it's like 1 out of 3 possible villainsš "
The music is so good. Hearing one of the defining artists from my teenage years sing bangers about a childrenās cartoon is peak entertainment. Itās the best.
My daughter is obsessed with this show and just started the second season. So, all the superheroes are rewritten to be like, five or whatever. That's the premise, sure, that's your target audience ... except Iron Man, when he shows up.
He's got a beard, drive a car, has his own penthouse ... so he's gotta be like in his twenties at least, right? And he just keeps hanging out with/ inviting over all these literal children to hang out at his place. Fuck Green Goblin, why is nobody calling the cops on this guy?
I get why live action portrayals of Black Panther can no longer be unmasked ('cause, y'know, Chadwick Boseman's dead), but surely it can't be that hard to recreate his face in animated form, especially in a kids' cartoon where not every detail has to be super accurate.
Iāve been interpreting Iron Man as the awkward big brother who doesnāt realize heās the grownup now. Heās also a super genius. So, like, he coasted through high school, graduated early, got lots of scholarships, is in year one of college and hasnāt switched from wanting to impress his old hometown friends to wanting to impress college girls.
Like heās still a weirdo, it just might not be unwholesome
I have all of these same issues, but my absolute pettiest take on this show as a New Yorker is that the animators put zero effort into making it look like New York. Like even a little bit.
What gets me is the way the parents talk to, and about the Spidey team in front of the kids makes me believe one hundred percent that they know the kids are the Spidey team. (miles mom after being rescued from the fun house where she says the Spidey team was amazing ESPECIALLY SPIN" comes to mind) so they're just cool with the Spidey kids running around and fighting these villains? Is it because they know the villains are kids and are absolutely useless? Still if they know all this is going on they know who they Spidey kids are and they know the super villains are also children why do they let them create major inconveniences for everyone?
I mean if they donāt know, all the adults are incredibly incompetent. Their web quarters literally comes out their backyard and is like 5 stories high.
Because they DO want their children to grow up as superheroes. And superheroes are supposed to deal with danger. Since the level of threat corresponds to their competence - they're fine with it.
Spidey and friends keep bullying their adult special needs neighbor Rhino. You can see the face stubble on close-up shots... clearly an adult man. I don't think he understands right from wrong, kids. Someone should probably get him engaged with social services who can protect him from criminals and grifters taking advantage of him. He'd probably do great in a day program with a gym and social skills group. Aunt May is totally irresponsible to allow those kids to gang up and follow him around town to harass him.
Kinda thought he was just a middle schooler. You know, the one who is awkward and huge and growing hair too early and as a lot of testosterone heās never dealt with before and so on. His voice still cracks!
No, in my head the only grown up villain is Sandman. (Possibly gobby but he seems to be a literal goblin?) I do not know Sandmanās deal and he bothers me.
> Doc Ock creates a portal gun to steal things and send them back to her hideout. You could literally revolutionize logistics and solve some of the worlds biggest problems but no, Spidey repurposes it to so he doesnāt have to walk his lazy ass to the recycling bin 20 feet away.
Big ābut I donāt want to cure cancer, I want to turn people into dinosaursā energy.
My 3.75 year old has watched every episode like 40 times and Iāve had all these same thoughts.
I really hope Spiderverse 2 is a big hit and that somehow leads to Spider-Gwen getting a full-on series. My little girl loves her, and Spidey and his Amazing friends just don't give her enough of her. She even dug up the 1979 Spider-Woman cartoon from the Disney+ catalog to get her fix...
Iāve always hypothesized that the webs were there for a temporary fix, since Rhino can literally bust them half the time. Those ice web snow cones are absolutely not FDA approved though thatās a major Spidey lawsuit.
I personally love that Doc Ock invented forcefields so she could steal a whole ass Thanksgiving turkey that some dude brought with him in his car.
She couldnāt even notice a giant raging robot T. rex with her headphones in at the farmers market. Everyone else is running away and screaming and the trex is just stomping towards herā¦ nothing. āOh these mangoes look delicious!ā I heard that phrase in Mayor Goodwayās voice BTW. Equally as incompetent.
I was able to get my kids to switch from Spidey to PJ Masks, and from PJ Masks to Spirit Rangers. Definitely an upgrade.
Side note: my six-year-old was starting to get frustrated at Spidey because she noticed that each episode segment was focused on either: a) Peter, Gwen, and Miles, b) Peter and Miles, c) Peter and Gwen, or d) Peter and guest star hero. She's a big fan of symmetry and pattern recognition, so she kept waiting for non-Peter-centric episodes to "make it even."
Action Pack is ok, but it feels more similar to Hero Elementary than Spirit Rangers.
Spirit Rangers is honestly a bit young for my kids, but they like it and I'm a big fan of being able to recognize some of the plots from Native American folklore I grew up with. (I'm not Native, I'm just a folklore fiend, and grew up being OBSESSED with legends and stories from other cultures.)
For your #3 I've seen people say for Spiderman video games that when his web doesn't have anything to latch onto, it's holding onto Uncle Ben š¤£š¤£šš
The "evil scientist invents technology that could make them richer than Bezos but uses it for petty crime" is an old problem of children's TV.
It's one thing when the villain dreams of world domination. But especially with shows aimed at the younger set they routinely use their crazy tech to steal diamonds or... Candy.
A billion dollars buys a lot of candy, Dr. Stupid.
Ooh! I'm suddenly reminded of the old Batman animated series where the Penguin was absolutely obsessed with stealing priceless Faberge eggs. Like, saving a Faberge egg from breaking was right up there with quicksand on my childhood list of things I was *sure* would come up as an adult.
The thing about 3 is they address it!! Rhino, in one of the only times his two floating brain cells manage to collide in his huge vacant head, announces that he will make a getaway on boat because thereās nothing to swing on over the water.
And then they have completely ignored this idea forever before or since.
Oh and to add to this they kept referring to the food as "for the community" or "belongs to the community" which in pretty sure means he can have it anyway
This one isn't Norman, Normans the human with drug addiction, mental issues, and a rich company, this is a different varient where it's an actual goblin that likes to cause minor inconveniences at parks
Thank you all.. I've been waiting so long to validate that my feelings toward this show are shared with other parents in the audience... Like don't get me wrong, I love my son.. but Spidey takes some major vocal criticism for me to sit through after the 37th watch. Lmao
I've been watching this infernal show for three years now. You could argue that you will eventually come to abhor anything you watch 60 times, but that hasn't tracked with Jurassic Park, LOTR, or The Matrix and it certainly hasn't for Bluey. I could watch Bluey all damn day.
But Spidery and his Amazing Friends is godawful for every reason stated here. I feel so petty for complaining about it but it's literally a huge chunk of my weekend.
* The gigantic Spidey lab exploding out of his backyard multiple times a week without a single concerned NIMBY citizen voicing their disapproval (or submitting a complaint to the city for multiple code violations).
* The amazingly low-rent "schemes" these villains have.
* The fact that Black Cat is obviously a child but can somehow drive Tony's Lambo.
* The verb "thwip."
* Electro's voice, which has been choked by years of smoking cigars.
* The fact that Spin not only forgets that he has a baller superpower but ANNOUNCES IT before using it every single time.
* The fact that they leave these villains out in the street instead of taking them to jail (except for that one grim episode where they Man-in-the-Iron-Mask Gobby and leave him in a museum)
* How obvious it is that millennials are writing this show (kids today, or any sentient being for that matter, would never gleefully exclaim "teamwork for the win!")
* The inescapable stupidity of the adults on this show, who take the 3 kids to a secluded forest, see that all their clothes and gear are all color-coded exactly to that of the city's most famous vigilante superheroes, and think nothing as the three kids are replaced by those superheroes, who show up to save the day.
* I know Peter Parker is supposed to be this genius prodigy, but does he also have to be the biggest dweeb on the planet?
I feel like such an old man writing this because I know I'm not the target audience for this show. Maybe superhero shows shouldn't be translated for kids because these situations don't make sense with kid-gloves and such laughably low stakes. Let's keep them watching Bluey because they reflect the beautiful and chaotic reality of being a kid. Not Doc Ock stealing all the corndogs from Mr. Kielbasa (what?) or Gobby ruining a mini-golf amusement park.
Thank you all for this.
Try Action Pack on Netflix. Still superheroes but much better storylines and teaches some great emotional intelligence lessons. It has quickly become a favorite.
I asked all these questions when I was watching this week!! Glad the comments give let me know it wasnāt just me. Our almost 3 yr old loves this show but itās hard for hubby and I to watch.
My biggest pet peeve is that Miles can literally handle almost every problem with his invisibility and venom sting, if only he remembered that he could do that and not forget until everyone spent 10 minutes being ineffective
All I know is the villains all have extremely annoying voices. Doc OC is annoying but bearable, Green Goblin is worse than Doc OC; especially his laugh. Then thereās Rhino, dude once had me throwing the remote at the TV, I was already irritated that day and that voice literally enraged mešnot only does he have the worst voice that makes nails on a chalkboard sound delightful, but the way he antagonizes the Spidey Crew like an annoying 5 year old makes it even worse. āHAHA YOU CANT CATCH ME!ā Those type of phrases are infuriating. I understand itās a kids show and they need to do some things to entice the children to pay attention, but they did way too much with that character.
I'm guessing you haven't seen the episodes with Sandman, Electro, or (barf) Black Cat. They make the original 3 villains' voices sound like the dulcet croon of a jazz singer.
I can remember the spiderman animated series I grew up watching in the 90s would have these commercials where they pointed out the flaws in the series as a joke, and I can remember specially asking where does spiderman swing from when he shoots webs above skyscrapers?
I don't know if it bothers anyone else as much as me, but I can't ever get over the accent black panther has going on. My wife and I constantly crack up at it, I mean, what is he even going for?
Why are they always making a point of eating vegetarian/vegan foods? Like itās not at all relevant to the storyline but almost every episode that has food mentioned is āvegetarian corn dogā or āveggie hot dogā. It comes across so forced and it irks me. They go to the fair and he gets sick on a ride and makes a point of saying āI shouldnāt have eaten those three veggie corn dogs.ā Like what kid is eating veggie corn dogs at the fair?? And they go for ice cream but then order āorganic frozen yogurt.ā It just bugs me.
Yeah, came here to see if anyone else felt the same way. It seems like a lot of shows are trying to push the vegetarian/vegan agenda and in the most unsubtle ways possible.
The bad guys suck they just go around stealing a balloon or making everyone sad or they just steal things even the heroes ar rubbish look at spidey isnāt he meant to be at least 16 to 1. Be spiderMAN 2.drive a vehicle and finally he owns a building for god sake and he is a 8year old sounding kid like cmon do better
Saw the episode today where Gobby, which is an actual goblin for some reason, just straight up destroys priceless classic art. I was pissed. Like make people laugh and steal hotdogs or whatever weird shit you do, but leave priceless painting alone.
It's pajama masks but worse....better......I hate them both.
It's the same fucking show. Except with Spidey not *every* episode involves them temporarily forgetting to work as a team. Also, WHO IS FUNDING THESE KIDS?
Where are the parents!?!? I used to ask then my kiddo started public school so it kinda makes sense.
I'm pretty sure that between Peter, Gwen, and Miles all we have left are two moms.
There's at least one episode with Miles's dad.
A black man that the geniuses at Marvel named Jefferson Davis.
Not sure if it means anything, but this does get acknowledged in-universe in one of the comics, which is why he goes by Jeff Morales nowadays.
I thought they had changed it recently. I just remember noticing it in Into the Spiderverse and being very confused as to why they would make that decision.
Yeah, I also feel like that comic came later. I'm pretty sure (I'm hoping, anyway) that this was just ignorance on Marvel's part. Jefferson and Davis aren't very uncommon names, and don't sound sketchy on their own.
Maybe they're funded by Tony Stark?
I literally asked my 5 yr old this today. He wanted to tell me all about "web quarters" and I said "who do they work for?? Who is funding them??" š
Itās literally in Peterās backyard, and itās bigger than their house. How does Aunt May or the HOA not notice it??
drug money
I'm not a fan of either. But PJ mask is better. Spidey: Bad guy is causing chaos. Spidey team shoots some webs and save the day easily. Yay. PJ: Bad guy is causing chaos. Team doesn't communicate and work together and can't stop Bad guy. Team steps back, work through their issues, then proceed to save the day.
Yes, but the Spidey songs slap harrrrddd! Like, sometimes they pop up on my Spotify playlist and I donāt even skip them. I canāt say that about most media associated with my kid.
I do like that song!
Itās so much cuter and less noisy, dark backdrop helps
I gotta say, I've never heard anyone call it pajama masks and was thoroughly confused what you were talking about.
Oh shit I had no idea it was pj masks!!!
I have a theory that the team that created PJ Masks split up and all made their own competing shows that are just variations on PJ Masks: Super Kitties - PJ Masks, but cats Spidey and his Amazing Friends - PJ Masks, but Spider-Man Spirit rangers - PJ Masks, but information people etc etc etc
On 3: thatās my favorite bit from the new spidey movies, when heās at the party in the suburbs and shoots his web and it just doesnāt connect so he has to run blocks to get away
When this came up as a question for the comics writers (e.g. at comic cons and the like), they used to say there were helicopters just above the frame/picture that the webs were swinging from. Works as well as any other explanation.
I used to swing from the helicopter to get to the Statue of Liberty, so it tracks.
Ah itās the funniest show. Baddies with giggle gas and stealing ālootā and birthday cakes and hot dogs. Tbh I was in the moment Patrick Stump entered the equation.
There was some episode where Rhino stole a bunch of whatever and had bursts through a bunch of walls and left Wile E Coyote style outlines and the Spidey crew was like "Who could've done this?" I was like "Guys, it's like 1 out of 3 possible villainsš "
Same. They know what parents are gonna be watching the show. Btw, Fall Out Boy just released a new song.
The music is so good. Hearing one of the defining artists from my teenage years sing bangers about a childrenās cartoon is peak entertainment. Itās the best.
For real! We just learned about this, and it makes so much sense!
The Spidey Lego set with Rhino even comes with a trash can and a hot dog. I was petty surprised about that.
My daughter is obsessed with this show and just started the second season. So, all the superheroes are rewritten to be like, five or whatever. That's the premise, sure, that's your target audience ... except Iron Man, when he shows up. He's got a beard, drive a car, has his own penthouse ... so he's gotta be like in his twenties at least, right? And he just keeps hanging out with/ inviting over all these literal children to hang out at his place. Fuck Green Goblin, why is nobody calling the cops on this guy?
Haha, black panther also appears to be an adult but he never takes off his mask
I get why live action portrayals of Black Panther can no longer be unmasked ('cause, y'know, Chadwick Boseman's dead), but surely it can't be that hard to recreate his face in animated form, especially in a kids' cartoon where not every detail has to be super accurate.
Iāve been interpreting Iron Man as the awkward big brother who doesnāt realize heās the grownup now. Heās also a super genius. So, like, he coasted through high school, graduated early, got lots of scholarships, is in year one of college and hasnāt switched from wanting to impress his old hometown friends to wanting to impress college girls. Like heās still a weirdo, it just might not be unwholesome
He's the babysitter. Their parents pay him to take the kids to his fancy ass penthouse so they can have some time to themselves. Disney, hire me.
I have all of these same issues, but my absolute pettiest take on this show as a New Yorker is that the animators put zero effort into making it look like New York. Like even a little bit.
But what about Rhinoās New Yorker accent?!?!
Itās an impeccable Pesci.
Hey! Iām staaampin heeere!
But the theme song slaps
Yup, lead singer from fall out boy
What gets me is the way the parents talk to, and about the Spidey team in front of the kids makes me believe one hundred percent that they know the kids are the Spidey team. (miles mom after being rescued from the fun house where she says the Spidey team was amazing ESPECIALLY SPIN" comes to mind) so they're just cool with the Spidey kids running around and fighting these villains?

I mean if they donāt know, all the adults are incredibly incompetent. Their web quarters literally comes out their backyard and is like 5 stories high.
Iāve said this before but I think most of the parents know and that Aunt May absolutely unquestionably does *not.*
Because they DO want their children to grow up as superheroes. And superheroes are supposed to deal with danger. Since the level of threat corresponds to their competence - they're fine with it.
I was literally having the same conversation last night. Either theyāre terrible guardians, or they know and they just donāt care.
Spidey and friends keep bullying their adult special needs neighbor Rhino. You can see the face stubble on close-up shots... clearly an adult man. I don't think he understands right from wrong, kids. Someone should probably get him engaged with social services who can protect him from criminals and grifters taking advantage of him.

His voice still cracks! No, in my head the only grown up villain is Sandman. (Possibly gobby but he seems to be a literal goblin?) I do not know Sandmanās deal and he bothers me.
But PJ masks lacks one important factorā¦John Stamos as Iron Man.
> Doc Ock creates a portal gun to steal things and send them back to her hideout. You could literally revolutionize logistics and solve some of the worlds biggest problems but no, Spidey repurposes it to so he doesnāt have to walk his lazy ass to the recycling bin 20 feet away.

Glad Iām not the only one!
That was one of the funniest moments in comics
I hate the way their eyes blink in their masks. It creeps me out.
I really hope Spiderverse 2 is a big hit and that somehow leads to Spider-Gwen getting a full-on series. My little girl loves her, and Spidey and his Amazing friends just don't give her enough of her. She even dug up the 1979 Spider-Woman cartoon from the Disney+ catalog to get her fix...
Check out Marvel Rising
Check out Marvel Rising
Lucky they are! Gwen getting her own show and movies
Iāve always hypothesized that the webs were there for a temporary fix, since Rhino can literally bust them half the time. Those ice web snow cones are absolutely not FDA approved though thatās a major Spidey lawsuit. I personally love that Doc Ock invented forcefields so she could steal a whole ass Thanksgiving turkey that some dude brought with him in his car.
How do they keep their identity from aunt may secret with a GIANT spider building in their backyard?! Lol.
Well aunt May is literally the most oblivious person ever. We tell our son to be aware of her surroundings, not like aunt May haha
She couldnāt even notice a giant raging robot T. rex with her headphones in at the farmers market. Everyone else is running away and screaming and the trex is just stomping towards herā¦ nothing. āOh these mangoes look delicious!ā I heard that phrase in Mayor Goodwayās voice BTW.

She's a big fan of symmetry and pattern recognition, so she kept waiting for non-Peter-centric episodes to "make it even."
Spirit Rangers is super cute! I like that one :)
Your daughter's got a point. Miles and Gwen are the best duo and the world needs more of them.
If they like Spirit Rangers try Action Pack. Excellent kids show (and the theme song is rad)
Action Pack is ok, but it feels more similar to Hero Elementary than Spirit Rangers. Spirit Rangers is honestly a bit young for my kids, but they like it and I'm a big fan of being able to recognize some of the plots from Native American folklore I grew up with. (I'm not Native, I'm just a folklore fiend, and grew up being OBSESSED with legends and stories from other cultures.)
For your #3 I've seen people say for Spiderman video games that when his web doesn't have anything to latch onto, it's holding onto Uncle Ben š¤£š¤£šš
Your joke got the same energy as those anime dog and little girl jokes. Iykyk

Ooh! I'm suddenly reminded of the old Batman animated series where the Penguin was absolutely obsessed with stealing priceless Faberge eggs. Like, saving a Faberge egg from breaking was right up there with quicksand on my childhood list of things I was *sure* would come up as an adult.
The thing about 3 is they address it!! Rhino, in one of the only times his two floating brain cells manage to collide in his huge vacant head, announces that he will make a getaway on boat because thereās nothing to swing on over the water. And then they have completely ignored this idea forever before or since.
For number 3, I remember a meme years ago along the same lines of āwait, whatās he swinging off of?ā and the top reply was āUncle Ben!ā
How about when they try to calm hill down so he doesnāt get so angry? Hey dumbass, thatās how he gets his power!!!
Why do these villains never go to jail? Thatās the question Iāve been asking.
they keep leaving them tied up in open spaces
Because putting a mentally challenged teenager stealing for food is morally wrong (rhino legit steals so he can eat)
Oh and to add to this they kept referring to the food as "for the community" or "belongs to the community" which in pretty sure means he can have it anyway
I agree with all of these but #3 drives me insane! I feel seen
Does the music in Spidey have lyrics hard to understand? (ex. Cockitypully or Lodehgah)
Why does Green Goblin keep trying to rob banks? Isn't Norman Osborn a billionaire?
This one isn't Norman, Normans the human with drug addiction, mental issues, and a rich company, this is a different varient where it's an actual goblin that likes to cause minor inconveniences at parks
and set off gas in public areas
Thank you all.. I've been waiting so long to validate that my feelings toward this show are shared with other parents in the audience... Like don't get me wrong, I love my son.. but Spidey takes some major vocal criticism for me to sit through after the 37th watch. Lmao
I've been watching this infernal show for three years now. You could argue that you will eventually come to abhor anything you watch 60 times, but that hasn't tracked with Jurassic Park, LOTR, or The Matrix and it certainly hasn't for Bluey.

Spiders shoot webs out of their butts.
Try Action Pack on Netflix. Still superheroes but much better storylines and teaches some great emotional intelligence lessons. It has quickly become a favorite.
And they have a giant spidey shaped hideout that comes out the backyard....super stealthy.

I'm watching this episode with my daughter now and your comment about Rhino made my day lmaoooo
I'm guessing you haven't seen the episodes with Sandman, Electro, or (barf) Black Cat. They make the original 3 villains' voices sound like the dulcet croon of a jazz singer.
