+ | '''{{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]]. |

− | '''{{ua2|Ultimate Avengers 2: Rise of the Panther}}''' is the second film from [[Marvel Animation]] and the first direct sequel. It was released on August 8, 2006, just six months after {{ua}}. The short turnaround time allowed for a quicker production. While the first film is a reasonably faithful adaptation of the [[Mark Millar]] and [[Bryan Hitch]]'s first ''The Ultimates'' story arc, the sequel is generally original and features the introduction of {{C|Wakanda|ua}} and {{C|Black Panther|ua}} as well as the sacrifice of {{C|Giant Man|ua}} before either happened in the ''Ultimate'' universe. |

+ | 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]]). |

− | Months after the {{C|Chitauri|ua}} attack on the {{C|Triskelion|ua}}, the {{C|Avengers|ua}} have gone their separate ways. Unable to adjust to modern society, {{C|Captain America|ua}} has become depressed and takes unnecessary risks straining his romantic relationship with {{C|Black Widow|ua}}. {{C|Giant Man|ua}} and {{C|Wasp|ua}} have marital problems as he pushes his powers past the limit. {{C|Betty Ross|ua}} is unable to see the captured {{C|Bruce Banner|ua}} due to guilt. {{C|Thor|ua}} struggles to disobey the orders of his father {{C|Odin|ua}}. {{C|Iron Man|ua}} takes a trip to Mount Everest with his board of directors. |
||
+ | 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]]. |
||
− | However, {{C|Herr Kleiser|ua}} returns and assassinates {{C|T'Chaka|ua}}, king of Wakanda. His son, {{C|T'Challa|ua}}, takes the throne and Black Panther mantle. He seeks the help of Captain America who only confirms that Kleiser cannot be killed. The Avengers sneak into Wakanda where Black Panther takes Captain America into the city. He explains that the Chitauri want an enormous vibranium meteorite located beneath the city and have been bothering the country since {{C|World War II|ua}}. However, the Avengers are discovered by Wakandan warriors who attack. Black Panther stops his people and orders the Avengers gone. A council of elders strip T'Challa of his throne for disobeying their isolationism. |

+ | 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}}. |

− | After nearly killing the Avengers, the {{C|Chitauri Command Ship|ua|Chitauri's command ship}} encloses the globe in a field and begins an invasion, focusing on Wakanda. Bruce discovers the Chitauri's weakness, gamma radiation, and informs Betty. The Avengers aid Wakanda to stop the siege. Captain America and Black Panther fight Kleiser and trap him forever in vibranium. Giant Man, Thor, and Iron Man attack the command ship. However, Giant Man is fatally injured and dies in his wife's arms. Iron Man nearly dies saving the city when his heart's battery runs out, but is recharged by Thor. T'Challa gets reinstated as king. At Hank's funeral, {{C|Nick Fury|ua}} makes peace with Thor while Steve and Natalia make up. |

− | The movie has received mixed reviews with critics disagreeing on the positives and negatives. Some critics feel it surpassed the original while others feel it is more of a copy and at times worse. Generally, critics agree that it is a good continuation of the characters, but not so much a good movie on its own merits. The increased emphasis on Iron Man and Thor are usually praised. However, the animation and music, while good, have been cited as not very exciting. |
