I saw that cartoon on my feed and it looks like the most unnecessary, almost exact copy of the Tom holland version, but in cartoon. Why? Nothing new and it just uses the same aesthetic as the movie
Its a different story overall, and just to say its actually much better than I was expecting.
The character designs match, but it is absolutely not the MCU story. Norman Osborn becomes Peter’s mentor, not Stark, which should speak to how different it becomes.
I’ve watched part of it and really enjoy it so far. To say there’s nothing new I don’t think is right. It presents a lot of classic Spider-Man tropes and intentionally swerves them.
It got solid reviews on IMDB, which is usually how I judge the worthiness of shows.
It’s 99% new and different from the MCU. The 1% are small nods to the MCU.
For example in both Peter is out and finds a broken DVD player, then he brings it home and tells May how excited he is that someone threw away a perfectly functioning (obviously broken) DVD player. All the while missing that his future mentor is on the couch, talking to May.
Or as the series progresses we learn that certain events that occured in the MCU also exist in this world.
Overall however it is a completely new Spider-Man. (Yes, Spider-Man interacts with well know Spider-Man characters, but not following any previously written story.)
I think it would have been interesting, but the showrunners decided to use characters not in the MCU and the movie people probably didn’t want to be locked into a design choice used in the animation.
Yeah, it’s only been 2 weeks since the Spider-Man Disney Plus show.
My 7 year old likes it. I can watch it without wanting to gouge my own eyes out. 2 thumbs up.

It was originally going to be Tom Holland’s Spiderman origin story, but was changed to be its own canon.
Good choice. Spiderman’s origin story has been done to death almost as badly as Batman’s
