Ranking Every Marvel Animated TV Series From Worst To Best
10. Spider-Man (1967)
A show that needs no introduction (because it's probably the most famous animated superhero series of all time, let's be honest), sixties Spidey is something that needs to be seen to be believed. No doubt you've seen the memes and heard the themes, but there's so much more to the show than Spidey's dodgy costume and the expert recycling of old footage.
Considering the budget the animators had to work with (which I can only assume totalled around five dollars and a badly-worn packet of crayola crayons), it's wildly impressive that they managed to make the show the success it was, and help turn Spider-Man into one of the most popular comic book characters of all time.
The show's cultural impact alone is enough to justify its place amongst the very best Marvel shows to have graced the screens since the sixties, but I suppose it helps that it's dead fun too.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
