After the success of the first Spider-Man film, Sony and Mainframe Entertainment released Spider-Man: The New Animated Series as the first fully CGI show to feature everyone's favourite webslinger. It was released in 2003 on MTV, thus gaining the Fan Nickname of MTV Spider-Man.The series was initially supposed to be an adaptation of the Ultimate Spider-Man comics, but it ended up taking inspiration from the first live-action film and roughly continued the story from there (even though it did not actually share a continuity with the film or its sequels). It still had Brian Michael Bendis as a writer from the Ultimate series and the artistic style did harken slightly towards Mark Bagley's artwork, but ultimately it became its own thing.Starring Neil Patrick Harris in the title role, the story of the show involved Peter Parker, Harry Osborn and Mary Jane Watson during their years in university. Harry is struggling over his father's death, Mary Jane has begun pursuing acting in the middle of her strained relationship with Peter, and Peter is doing what he is usually forced to do; juggle battles against supervillains with his personal life. It's somehow darker than your usual Spider-Man series, and mature as well. Shamefully, it's greatly overlooked.The series was rather short-lived, at only 13 episodes. A second season was planned but never started. It would be the last Spider-Man TV series for a good number of years, until The Spectacular Spider-Man came along.Notably, the episode "Royal Scam" features a guest appearance from the late Michael Clarke Duncan, who reprises his role as Wilson Fisk ("The Kingpin") from the live-action Daredevil film adaptation released the same year that the series debuted, strongly implying (albeit in vague terms) that the show takes place in the same universe as the film. That may not sound like a big deal today—but in a time before the Marvel Cinematic Universe, that was the closest thing to an official crossover between two big-budget Marvel Comics movies that most fans had ever seen.Its fanbase has grown over time, to the point an unofficial revival was being developed by a team of skilled and passionate fans. Though, that project has been cancelled since then.Not to be confused with the series that inspired the name from this one, Spider-Man: The Animated Series.It needs love on the character sections. | |

| Spider-Man: The New Animated Series / int_108c268e | comment |
Hotter and Sexier: As part of this Darker and Edgier reimagining there are far more sexual innuendos than usually seen in a Spider-Man cartoon, female characters often dress in form fitting clothing that bare their midriff, and while not outright stated both Harry and Peter are shown to have slept with their respective love interests in two different episodes. | |

| Spider-Man: The New Animated Series / int_113480b7 | comment |
Canon Foreigner: Indy and most of the villains (Christina, Shikata, Pterodax, Talon, Turbo Jet, and the Gaines Twins) were created for this show and never appeared in the comics. The only villains from the comics were Lizard, Electro, Kingpin, Silver Sable, and Kraven. However, some of the villains from the series are expies of comic antagonists. Talon being Black Cat and Turbo Jet being Rocket Racer come to mind. | |

Bloodless Carnage | |
| Spider-Man: The New Animated Series / int_135b9977 | comment |
Bloodless Carnage: Averted. Blood is certainly shown in certain scenes like with the Lizard's rampage through the police station. The impact of the violence loses nothing. We have Spider-Man cut, bleeding, and bruised, heads sliced off and electrocution, giving even The Dark Knight a run for its money. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Spider-Man: The New Animated Series / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Definitely a lot darker than the usual Spidey fare. While there isn't a death in every single episode or any gore, the PG rating wasn't just for show as blood was shown and some characters were shown or implied to be killed. People also used real guns, unlike previous cartoons where characters used laser guns to be more child friendly. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Spider-Man: The New Animated Series / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Spidey makes a reference to the X-Men in "The Party". The late Michael Clarke Duncan reprises his role of The Kingpin. Also, Christina claims to know Spider-Man's true identity is Meng. Meng is voiced by Rino Romano, who voiced Spidey in Spider-Man Unlimited, so technically, she was right. | |

| Spider-Man: The New Animated Series / int_341b1691 | comment |
"Take That!" Kiss: Talon gives two to Spider-Man in quick succession during their first fight, though only blowing him a kiss and not actually kissing him. First, after she kicks him away and puts her goggles back on she turns back to him and blows a kiss before running off. Then, after Spider-Man is stuck holding a piece from a construction building in place to stop it from falling into the streets, Talon blows him another goodbye kiss to taunt him before disappearing. | |

Five-Second Foreshadowing | |
| Spider-Man: The New Animated Series / int_381855db | comment |
Five-Second Foreshadowing: In "Mind Games: Part 2", the Gaines Twins flee to the rooftop after Spider-Man discovers the warehouse they've been hiding in, with Roman taking the door marked "Rooftop Access 1", and Roxanne taking "Rooftop Access 2". Pursuing them, Spider-Man gets locked in a psychic battle of wills with Roxanne as she reaches the rooftop, eventually overpowering her and letting her fall over the edge in his disoriented state. However, eagle-eyed viewers will note that she runs out of the doorway marked for the first access route, implying something is off. Sure enough, the real Roxanne lifts another psychic illusion, and when Spider-Man looks over the edge again, he sees it was Indy who actually fell from the roof. | |

Alternate Continuity | |
| Spider-Man: The New Animated Series / int_450c5a85 | comment |
Alternate Continuity: To the Spider-Man Trilogy, being that while it's said to take place after Spider-Man 1, it doesn't line up at all to Spider-Man 2. Core differences are that Dr. Connors becomes the Lizard and dies in the same episode, MJ taking on a punk look and Harry Osborn being blonde (although this could be justified as Harry dying his hair). While Kingpin is black and voiced Michael Clarke Duncan, it doesn't share continuity with Daredevil (2003). Officially, it takes place on Earth-760207 which is separate from the world of the Raimi films and Daredevil. | |

Downer Ending: The series ends with Indy in a coma, that she may never recover from, caused unintentionally by Spider-Man, Peter's relationships with Mary Jane and Harry are damaged to a greater extent than ever before, Spider-Man is viewed as a criminal by virtually the entirety of New York City, who actually demand him to leave, and Peter quits being Spider-Man by putting his costume into a suitcase filled with bricks and throwing it into the river. While it is the bleakest of all the Spider-Man media adaptations so far, a second season was planned to restore or expand on some of these events, but it never materialized. | |

Broad Strokes | |
| Spider-Man: The New Animated Series / int_547196be | comment |
Broad Strokes: For the most part, the events of the 2002 film seemed to have happened in this universe as they were shown, but given that the Peter is identified as eighteen on the anniversary of Norman Osborn's death it can be assumed they happened in Peter's senior year of high school unlike in the film where he starts college. There are however some differences: Mary Jane seemingly never dated Flash and her relationship with Harry was apparently a normal break up, while Peter never outright rejected Mary Jane like at the end of the film, with the two trying to sort through their feelings for each other at the start of the show. | |

Canon Welding: Spider-Man encounters the Kingpin, who resembles and is voiced by Michael Clarke Duncan, which places the Daredevil movie in the same continuity as this series and Spider-Man movies (at least the first one). | |

Kickthe Dog: The Gaines Twins torment Mary Jane with psychic visions while holding her hostage, allowing her to think she's escaped her bonds and slipped out of the room she's being held in, only to be attacked by the Lizard. They then reveal that she never even got up from her chair and that the ropes holding her are just for show. | |

Almost Kiss: Peter and MJ have one in the first episode, where MJ pins Peter close to the wall and leans in saying that she always trusts her feelings, but it turns out she was just adjusting the position of the flat-screen TV. Given this is Peter and MJ we're talking about though, this is pretty much the only time one of these is teased. | |

Bullying a Dragon: Several people seem determined to harass and attack Spider-Man till he snaps out of either bias or petty cruelty. While most of them fail, this is a blatantly stupid idea, and as the Gaines Twins learn the hard way, when sufficiently motivated, Spidey can and will murder people. | |

Deconstruction | |
| Spider-Man: The New Animated Series / int_8ae880f7 | comment |
Deconstruction: Of superhero cartoons. While most superhero cartoons use Bloodless Carnage and make it clear that nobody is killed, here it’s shown clearly that the villains are violently murderous as most real-life criminals are and not afraid to kill people to get what they want, and all supervillain’s rampages can severely injure and even kill innocent bystanders. The villains also have reasons for what they do, and most are either common thieves who just happen to have equipment that lets them keep up with Spider-Man or genuinely mentally unstable people with superpowers who cause a lot of harm in pursuit of their goals. Spider-Man’s You Fight Like a Cow schtick is far more subdued, his methods to stop crime often leads to loads of collateral damage, and while he tries to stick to his Thou Shalt Not Kill he's often forced against villains he can't normally beat and while trying to stop them sometimes ends up causing their deaths. And finally, him being a Hero with Bad Publicity pursued by the police is based more on several police officers’ prejudice than any real evidence, and some officers like Officer Barr are willing to flat out ignore evidence to support their views rather than admit they could be wrong about Spider-Man. | |

Not Me This Time: Kraven the Hunter apparently murders Mary Jane. In a rage, Spider-Man nearly kills Kraven, only to discover that Kraven is innocent. Mary Jane was never murdered, and Spider-Man had been tricked by two other villains into thinking Kraven had killed her (Kraven had killed the parents of the villains, and they weren't powerful enough to take revenge themselves). Kraven doesn't get away scot-free, however: Spider-Man still drops him off with the police. | |

Continuity Nod: The series supposedly takes place after the first film, so there are a few of these here in regards to that. Mary Jane and Spidey's famous "upside-down kiss" is given a few mentions. Harry is still grieving over the death of his father, Norman Osborn, thinking that Spider-Man killed him and Peter is unable to tell him how it really went down. A reference is made that Mary Jane used to date Flash in high school. | |

Canon Discontinuity | |
| Spider-Man: The New Animated Series / int_a32334b4 | comment |
Canon Discontinuity: The series makes a lot of references to taking place after the first live-action movie, but Spider-Man 2 seems to ignore it, based mainly on the fact that Curt Connors/The Lizard dies in this series, but is alive, well, and apparently has never transformed before in the film. Additionally, Peter and Harry's living arrangements are reflective of most of the first movie where they're sharing an apartment, whereas their living arrangements in the second and third movies had Harry back in his dad's penthouse and Peter in a small apartment (and chances are they took hold when Norman died). There are a few things that are carried over into the second movie like Harry's drinking and tension with Peter due to the latter taking Spider-Man photos, which is probably coincidental more than anything. | |

After an experiment that sends her over the deep end, Peter describes her to Mary as "The science partner from Sunnydale." The How Do I Shot Web? meme is referenced when Dr. Zellner drugs him: his web-shooters are sluggish and he turns up his palms like the popular comic image. In "Mind Games: Part Two", Peter calls the Gaines twins the Wonder Twins. | |

Retronym | |
| Spider-Man: The New Animated Series / int_c9263989 | comment |
Retronym: This series was originally referred to as just Spider-Man during its original 2003 release. The exact Character Title was already used across different media. Therefore, it had gone through various nicknames like "MTV's Spider-Man", "Spider-Man 2003", or "Spider-Man Animated Series" by the Annie Awards. It wasn't until the 2004 home release that it was officially referred to by its current title retroactively. | |

Anti-Villain | |
| Spider-Man: The New Animated Series / int_d001c42c | comment |
Anti-Villain: The show's most common way of adapting villains, or even making their own Canon Foreigners, is by portraying them in a more sympathetic light. This, combined with the show's tendencies to kill off villains, results in a lot of tragedy. | |

Anonymous Public Phone Call: In one episode Peter uses a payphone to give the police an anonymous tip about the next target of a bunch of criminals. Quite humorously the dispatcher then asks him to provide his name and location, with him spelling out what "anonymous" means. | |

Expy | |
| Spider-Man: The New Animated Series / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: Talon is loosely based on Black Cat, being an attractive thief. She was even originally going to be Black Cat until the casting of Eve persuaded the creators to retool her into a different character. Turbo Jet is similar to the comic villain Rocket Racer, mainly in that he's an African-American crook who uses technology to give himself super speed. | |

Hate Sink | |
| Spider-Man: The New Animated Series / int_e5fd8bc2 | comment |
Hate Sink: Doug Reisman, the relentless head of the Sigmas that Max has to deal with. Despite being apparently popular at the university, Doug is not a nice person. It’s almost satisfying to see him getting killed off at the hands of the man he bullied. Officer Barr is the embodiment of everyone's belief that Peter Parker is a criminal, and he will outright ignore anyone who claims that Spider-Man is a hero. | |

| Spider-Man: The New Animated Series / int_e8dca77c | comment |
Adaptation Origin Connection: The origin of the Lizard is tied into the Green Goblin as Curt Connors lost his arm thanks to Oscorp testing an explosive that's implied to be the prototype of the Green Goblin's pumpkin bomb. Peter Parker and Max Dillon are college classmates before the latter becomes Electro. | |

Inspector Javert: Officer Barr is obsessed with capturing Spider-Man and proving he's a criminal, to the point of outright ignoring a witness’s testimony so that it fits his belief. He’s also pretty incompetent, and outright harasses Peter while interrogating him. | |

Prank Gone Too Far | |
| Spider-Man: The New Animated Series / int_f392ffd9 | comment |
Prank Gone Too Far: A pretty dark version happens in "The Party", where Doug Reisman plays a prank on Max Dillon; the "prank" is actually kidnapping, blindfolding him and taping a helmet to his head so he couldn't identify him, and leaving him inside a limo. It goes wrong when Max accidentally drives the car into a construction site and nearly drowns in concrete before Spider-Man saves him. Doug, however, doesn't let up, and orchestrates an insanely cruel prank that publicly humiliates Max, and drives him to a mental breakdown. Upon his transformation into Electro, Max electrocutes Doug to death. | |

Never Found the Body | |
| Spider-Man: The New Animated Series / int_f516f938 | comment |
Never Found the Body: Silver Sable's apparent death shows no signs of a corpse, and bubbles can later be seen rising up from the spot in the water where she fell. This is in fact the reason why Spider-Man isn't surprised that she shows up working with Kraven at the end of the series. But, as it turns out, that was just a mental illusion. | |
