+ | '''{{sm}}''' is a series that ran starting starting November 19, 1994 and ending January 31, 1998. It is the fourth to focus on the wallcrawler after {{sm67}}, {{sm81}}, and {{smaf}}. It is the second longest running series based on a [[Marvel Comics]] property after only {{xm}}, which exists in the same [[Marvel Animated Universe|continuity]]. |
||
− | '''{{mof}}''' is the second animated film based on [[Marvel Comics]] after {{dsd}}. Both were produced by [[Toei Animation]] as part of a deal to bring Marvel Characters to animation, though these were the only two made. While the comics have maintained the origin set in the [[Mary Shelley]] book, this film more closely follows the 1931 Universal film by James Whale featuring Boris Karloff. |
||
+ | The show followed the life of Peter Parker as [[Spider-Man]] (voiced by [[Christopher Daniel Barnes]]). After the death of his [[Ben Parker|Uncle Ben]] ([[Brian Keith]]), Peter struggles to balance his [[superhero]] life and personal life with his [[May Parker|Aunt May]] ([[Linda Gary]] and [[Julie Bennett]]), girlfriend [[Black Cat|Felicia Hardy]] ([[Jennifer Hale]]), eventual wife [[Mary Jane Watson]] ([[Sara Ballantine]]), and best friend [[Harry Osborn]] ([[Gary Imhoff]]). He fights classic villains such as [[Shocker]] ([[Jim Cummings]]), [[Kingpin]] ([[Roscoe Lee Browne]]), [[Vulture]] ([[Alan Johnson]] and [[Eddie Albert]]), and [[Doctor Octopus]] ([[Efrem Zimbalist Jr.]]) as well as then-recent characters such as [[Venom]] ([[Hank Azaria]]), [[Hobgoblin]] ([[Mark Hamill]]), and [[Carnage]] ([[Scott Cleverdon]]). He would team up with the [[Fantastic Four]], the [[X-Men]] (featuring the cast of {{xm}}), [[Nick Fury]] ([[Philip Abbott]]) and [[S.H.I.E.L.D.]], [[Prowler]] ([[Tim Russ]]), [[Captain America]] ([[David Hayter]]), [[War Machine]] ([[James Avery]]) and [[Iron Man]] ([[Robert Hays]], both reprising their roles from {{im}}). The show adapted stories including ''The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man'', ''[[Secret Wars]]'', and the controversial ''Clone Saga''. He even traveled to the "real world" to meet [[Stan Lee]] ([[Stan Lee (Real)|Himself]]). |
||
− | It was a dark and stormy night. Doctor Victor Frankenstein and his assistant Zuckel work in an empty castle, harnessing the power of the storm to reanimate a corpse they made. Horrified by his creation's monstrous appearance, he orders Zuckel to kill it but he is overpowered and loses his eye. Victor returns to his home in Geneva to his wife Elizabeth and daughter Emily. Meanwhile, Chief Inspector Bellebeau investigates a series of gruesome murders where the victims have been eaten as well as vicious crimes against the Frankenstein family. |
||
+ | The series came about when Marvel Comics was facing financial problems. [[Avi Arad]] started [[Marvel Films Animation]] to bring characters to animation and hired [[John Semper, Jr.]] to be story editor after a previous editor failed to work out. The two clashed on the direction of the show, but Semper won after arguing that a quality show would sell toys anyways. Semper had great freedom when it came to guest stars and included characters such as [[Punisher]] ([[John Beck]]), [[Blade]] ([[James Donald Hall]]), [[Doctor Strange]] ([[John Vernon]]), and [[Madame Web]] ([[Joan Lee]]). He used season long story arcs, against direct orders since that was something not being done in a children's show. Despite being top in the ratings, the show was eventually cancelled because of a disagreement between Arad and head of [[Fox Kids]] [[Margaret Loesch]]. |
||
− | Victor is haunted by the memories of what he's done and suspects his monster is still alive. Zuckel reappears and blackmails the doctor in payment for his missing eye. Victor is granted a highly respected position and fears that his gruesome experiments will be found out. The monster arrives in Geneva and kills any villager who attacks him. After Zuckel threatens Emily, Victor decides to kill his assistant. However, the monster appears first and strangles him. |
||
+ | The show as a hit in the ratings. The episode {{eps|Day of the Chameleon}} won an Annie Award for Best Individual Achievement for Writing in the Field of Animation. The series won a NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Animated/Live Action/Dramatic Youth or Children's Series/Special. The show had a major impact on the comics and subsequent adaptations, most notably with the [[Venom Symbiote]]. Before, the symbiote just gave Spider-Man unlimited [[Web Fluid|webbing]]. Afterwards the comics, films, and other series included the aspect that the symbiote increased his aggressive side. In fact, the film ''Spider-Man 3'' included a recreated shot from {{eps|The Alien Costume, Part One}}. Other aspects include making [[Green Goblin]] an alternate personality to [[Norman Osborn]] who actually communicates with and demeans his other self. Additionally, the series finale featured a story of Spider-Man traveling to an alternate universe to team up with several other [[Spider-Men]] to stop an evil version of [[Spider-Carnage|himself]]. A similar story was used in the video game ''Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions'', the comic story ''Spider-Verse'', and Oscar-winning film {{smitsv}}. |
||
− | Bellebeau finds Victor's gun at Zuckel's murder scene, and begins suspecting him of being involved. Elizabeth lies to Bellebeau to protect her husband, then seeks answers from Victor's father. He tells her that Victor continued some unholy experiments that he started but stopped. While crashing a wedding, the monster flees from fire, a fear brought on when he was caught on fire after his "birth." Bellebeau and his men chase him but lose him around Grandfather Frankenstein's cabin. The monster listens to Emily sing and is touched, realizing how horrific he appears. He returns to the cabin and Grandfather, though blind, recognizes the monster as his son's creation. Emily's fear of him draws Victor. In the woods, the monster knocks out his creator but kills a bear that is attacking Emily. Emily then accepts the monster and begins teaching him to talk, bake, and about the love of God their creator. |

− | When Emily's friend Philip sees the monster, he brings an angry mob and the police. They chase the monster into the woods and begin an enormous forest fire. Grandfather goes into the fire to protect the monster and Elizabeth follows to protect him. The monster protects Grandfather but Elizabeth is killed. The town assume that the monster killed her and tried to kill Grandfather. Philip confronts the monster but the monster accidentally kills him. Feeling betrayed, Emily shoots him. He wanders into a church and seeing a statue of Jesus compares his shot hand to his crucified hand. |

− | Emily learns that the monster tried to protect Grandfather and Elizabeth, but was overwhelmed by the fire. The monster is driven to a cliffside by the police. He kills several before sparing Bellebeau because of Emily. Victor tries to kill his creation again, but is stopped by Emily. She apologizes to the monster. Realizing the damage he is causing, the monster leaps off the cliff to his death. Victor is struck by his creation's sacrifice and turns his gun on himself. Emily is left alone while Bellebeau visits the monster's grave near Grandfather's cabin. |
