10 Mind-Blowing Facts You Didn't Know About The Spectacular Spider-Man Cartoon

10. There's Unseen Footage

One of the weirdest things about the Spectacular Spider-Man series is that, unless we are somehow blessed by a creator who kept secret copies, we'll never see all of the footage produced for the show.

This is because, when it was first being created, the plan was to have bonus material for each episode that you could only see by watching the DVD, which would release each story arc as a film. Unfortunately, this idea was canned after the first arc, meaning that any footage made for the next arcs went in the bin.

It feels weird to wonder what moments we missed - as it was likely just scenes meant to connect the various episodes into one coherent experience. But it's also maybe not a terrible thing that the series was released on DVD in episodic form, as otherwise you'd have to commit to watching a full film any time you fancied watching an episode.

And while binging a show is practically a way of life by now, being sort of made to feels entirely less fun.
