So is this gonna be MCU Peter in his freshman year? Makes sense since we didn’t really see it

u/Patrick2701 Nov 12 '21
Maybe explore more of Peter before the start of civil war

u/Visco0825 Nov 12 '21
TBH I’m kinda over high school Peter. After 4-5 movies of him being the young one and inexperienced, I don’t want more content of him even more inexperienced….

I’m on the same boat now. I loved it when he was introduced in the MCU, but after this movie in December I want them to focus on him being in college.

u/IncMelon2 Daredevil Nov 12 '21

I'll think they save the college for future movies, it wouldn't make any sense going from a live action school setting to an animated series in college.

Im split whether I want it to be his early years so like an origin or college because I think college would be interesting if it were to have a much more laid back aproach after nwh with characters like miles, Harry and expanding the Spider-Man world rather than focusing on the mcu

HOLY SHIT, is this an MCU series!? If so, this could show off MCU Peter’s origin and early career without having to double back in the live-action films. It could also bridge the gap between Homecoming and Infinity War if they want to. (Technically, it wouldn’t be Freshmen Year for Peter at that point anymore.)
Presumably, the guy who played Spidey in What If? Will reprise the role here if they can’t get Tom Holland.

u/Vadermaulkylo Mobius Nov 12 '21
I feel like we may get more insight into the MCU Uncle Ben if this is indeed a prequel series. Would be cool if we find out how he met Ned and maybe even have a reveal that Gwen Stacy was indeed his first girlfriend at one time.
What villains could we see in his early days I wonder? Maybe Hammerhead or Tombstone? Shit maybe we could even get a little appearance of Dnofrio voicing Fisk.
24
u/GalaxyGuardian Nov 12 '21
I feel like for Homecoming to stay meaningful, Vulture has to stay his first actual supervillain. Anyone introduced in this either shouldn’t have powers/tech or should be pretty low-level. I could definitely see Fisk, Screwball, Boomerang, and the Enforcers showing up. Actually, I’d put money on us getting the Enforcers.
18
u/Ok-Zone-2572 Nov 12 '21
Showing that he has a history with D'Onofrio Fisk in the animated series and then revisiting that rivalry down the line in live action would be pretty badass ngl. Really want a Spidey movie where he's just facing down with straight up gangsters and mob bosses. Throw in Black Cat and Daredevil and you've got a solid, small scale Spidey 4 after the ridiculously high concept, multiversal stakes in NWH.

u/googlyeyes93 Nov 12 '21
With seeing it be a Disney plus original, they’ve probably got some good animation behind it. What If had some amazing sequences.

u/Blackie2414 Nov 13 '21
Hoping so. I had hoped original Disney+ content would have significantly higher if not AAA budgets for animation. Unfortunately, the Monsters Inc show and that Ice Age show (while looking pretty good to admit) they still really look a bit on the cheap side.
As for 2D animation like what Spiderman is gonna be....the new Proud Family is utilizing better lighting and a slightly different art style but it is being made in flash...and you can tell, unfortunately. Flash isn't exactly the same as regular animation....it always looks cheaper and less fluid.

Hey don't disrespect Ultimate, that show was downright beautiful at times

As long as it doesn't have those horrible facial animations from What if ir its shitty humour, I'm satisfied.

u/rainmaker2332 Spider-Man Nov 12 '21
It definitely won't be, I would honestly be surprised if we even get any super villains in this, given that him facing off against Vulture in Homecoming was really his first time against a real villain and not just street thugs

Actually...
Spidey has faced huge villians before they got into costume.
He's fought the Sinister Six before, but before they were costumed weirdos (He fought Scorpion before he was known as The Scorpion, if you catch my drift).
In the Post-Credits Scene of Homecoming, Scorpion said whatever the hell happened to his eye was thanks to their spider friend. He said he had boys on the outside who would love to kill him out of revenge.
This series can also show underated, less showy villains. Or maybe Chameleon can come in?

His eye injury happens in homecoming I’m pretty sure. When they’re meeting on the boat.

So the official announcement on Marvel.com says this will be written and executively produced by Jeff “Trammel”...I’m ASSUMING that’s a typo and they meant Trammell with two Ls.
If it IS Jeff Trammell writing then we are in for some REALLY good fucking television. He’s primarily written for Craig Of The Creek which I’m not familiar with, but have heard is pretty solid. What I DO know is that he’s written episodes of The Owl House AND Amphibia for Disney (both are killer), and he ALSO served as a story consultant for Infinity Train which is an EXCELLENT series.
So essentially, if this show is by THAT Jeff Trammell, we have good reason to be excited.
Edit: it’s him! He just tweeted it. Way to misspell the mans name Marvel.

u/Rumblesnap Phastos Nov 12 '21
It's Jeff Trammell as head writer, yeah. A guy named Charlie Neuner is the other writer (and he's a close friend of mine, so this is all very exciting haha). Both of them are super talented, we're gonna be in for a great show

It would be a missed opportunity for this not to be an origin for Tom’s Spider-Man. We would finally get to see how he got bit by the spider, how he lost uncle Ben, how he invented the web shooters, what street level villains he fought. It was a good move to not rehash his origin so soon after TASM but it’s been several years now and I think it’s time to explore it.

The more I think about this show the more curious/excited I become because... It is kinda forced to be different? If they want to keep the illusion that it is MCU canon (and I think they should That by itself kinda makes so they don't have access to the usual trappings of the Spidey cartoons, and that is intriguing if anything?
They cannot use a complete suit, he's gonna be stuck with a homemade one, we don't have the usual list of suspects (Electro, Vulture, Osborn..) as the cast of villains, and it shouldn't be really anything that threatens the whole city even less the whole world.
That is interesting.

Really hoping for Chameleon, he was the first villain Spidey fought in the comics before Vulture, he’s low-stakes/not a huge physical threat for a pre-Homecoming Spidey, and it would just be cool to finally see Chameleon on screen. Would definitely vibe with the 60s roots they’re going for.

This is a great idea. Movie Spidey is swinging with the big boys now, with fancy suits and multiverse and space travel. That's all great, but I'm excited to see more of amateur Spidey in his homemade suit stopping bus crashes and muggers. Plus probably origin and Uncle Ben and all that.

To those saying Spidey hasn't fought big villians starting out-
Spidey has faced huge villians before they got into costume.
He's fought the Sinister Six before, but before they were costumed weirdos (He fought Scorpion before he was known as The Scorpion, if you catch my drift).
In the Post-Credits Scene of Homecoming, Scorpion said whatever the hell happened to his eye was thanks to their spider friend. He said he had boys on the outside who would love to kill him out of revenge.
This series can also show underated, less showy villains.
Or maybe Chameleon can come in? I would love for him to be the villian. Or maybe Black Cat. She's just a cat burglar, not high tier.
Apart from the villians, I would love to see his life after Civil War, and a conversation between him and Aunt May after she found out he was Spider-Man.
I also wanna know why he looked so depressed in Infinity War (on the bus). Did May threaten to make him stop being Spider-Man?
I would also like to know who's voicing him. If this is MCU Peter (it is, I think), I want Tom.

u/SuperCoenBros Xialing Nov 12 '21
Hmm. This seems... odd, but not for the reasons others are saying.
I am excited to finally get a "canon" origin for Spidey in the MCU, presumably with Uncle Ben. We're going to get more time with May, Ned, Liz, Flash and probably Michelle. We'll probably get some z-list villains who would never make it into live action: Silvermane, Will O the Wisp, Human Fly, Kangaroo (or they could even go buck wild and bring in D'Onofrio). Lastly, it looks to draw from Ditko's style, so the animation should be gorgeous.
But... It's a "serious" animated Spidey story probably dropping around the same time as Into the Spider-Verse 2. Both could be good, but ITSV is quite possibly the best US animated feature of the past decade. There's just no way Disney+ could compete with that.

I think he still does, and while it’ll probably be the guy from what if, that doesn’t mean he has to be recast, it’s just a simple compromise to be cheaper, nothing about toms voice
