Spiderman was my favorite comic-book superhero growing up, even though I didn't read comic books. Super Friends was fun to watch, but the D.C. heroes were lame compared to the 60's Spiderman cartoon (and later, Spiderman and his Amazing Friends!). So when I saw that Netflix had the Spiderman: '67 Classic Collection, what was the harm of putting it into the queue?
Another tiny murder of childhood memories, that's what.
The theme song is still fantastic, but once the episode began... oh, boy. The worst is that Spiderman's voice is all wrong; I hear the "Amazing Friends" voice whenever I think of Spiderman; he sounds young and smart-alecky, and this guy sounded like he was channeling George Reeves. Fast-forwarded through the whole disc and only stopped to have a look at Mysterio, Rhino, Vulture, and Doc Ock. (the Lizard, Electro, Green Goblin, must appear on a different disc.)
Must...resist...looking up...Herculoids...
