Since his cameo in X-Men 97, everyone is talking about Spider-Man The Animated Series - so we’re taking you behind the scenes on Marvel Animation! We’ll pull back the curtain on the history of Marvel Animation and Marvel’s plan to sell as many toys and action figures as possible, using cartoons! We’ll explore how Spider-Man The Animated Series got made, the importance of John Semper Jr, the battles between producers and the network, how Marvel Comics were told they would have ZERO input in the show, the amazing villains and superheroes, the tight censorship than banned everything from death to punching to broken glass, and the incredible success that the show proved to be!

To celebrate our 4th anniversary we’re releasing this bonus episode on The Ultimates - the Avengers story that saved Marvel Comics and provided the blueprint for the MCU! Every month on Patreon we release bonus episodes taking a special look at incredible Marvel stories that have yet to be adapted into a movie.
This episode is a deep-dive into the Marvel comic book that revolutionised the industry and inspired the MCU! Join us as we leave the regular 616 Marvel Universe and explore the dark & edgy world of The Ultimates! A modern update of the Avengers that creates a widescreen superhero action movie and uses it to satirise the post 9/11 landscape! Are these Avengers good guys or bad guys? Is Captain America a racist? Is Iron Man a drunk ego maniac? Is The Hulk a cannibal? Is Thor a delusional patient from a psychiatric hospital? The Ultimate Universe is a dark, dark world!
