The material is there, but it's too whimsical and slapstick goofy. I grew up watching the 90s animation (which had its own flaws), and it did a great job capturing Spidey's tangled life (pun intended) while also giving us plenty of action and classic villains from the comics. This show has so much potential, yet the audience it's aimed at feels like pre-teens - even Peter feels like he's in middle school - and it falls short of what we want.
Sony did an absolutely incredible job with Into The Spider-Verse, and gave all us Spidey fans everything we love about the Webhead(s). Aside from the stunning animation, they created a gripping storyline, great character development, and amazing writing. Disney could take a page from Sony.
With all the money Disney/Marvel has, and especially with an ever-expanding MCU and fan base, I expected something better.
Spidey needs to be allowed to grow up a bit.
