Ultimate Spider-Man’s Gonna Make You Watch It Whether You Want to or Not
 |
It goes without saying that Ultimate Spider-Man is a terrible cartoon. I mean, just look at the picture above. WHAT THE FUCK IS EVEN GOING ON. I don’t want to know. Anyways, a few weeks ago I gave Ultimate Spidey a modicum of respect for briefly turning into Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham. That’s pretty awesome, and I felt it should be recognized, even if it didn’t quite get me to actually watch the damn show. But this upcoming weekend’s episode… fuck. Here’s the official synopsis:
“Damage” – When Spider-Man and his fellow teenage super heroes cause too much damage in a super villain fight, Nick Fury assigns them to work with the super clean up company, Damage Control, but Spidey’s clean up duty uncovers a villainous mystery.
