Spider-San

This is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.

My eyes! They burn! Wow...that was ALMOST as bad as the 1960s Wonder Woman pilot. Holy smeg, that was frickin' putrid. Crow and Tom Servo would have had a field day with that, and this Japanese Spidey show.

I have seen not one but several episodes of this, way back in the mid 80s--before MST even--I think at the Ann Arbor anime club. It's... wow. But at least it's better than this...

For bringing that back to my memory, you do NOT deserve to live.

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Yes, but OMG Gorshin as the Riddler is always so f'n wonderful....

[trdsf.livejournal.com]

And of course the always-hallucinatory Adam West... but wow. Even by the standards of the late 1970s, it was pretty bad. If you haven't seen it, you need to. :)

It's fun seeing Night Court's Marsha Warfield, and yes, Gorshin is always great to watch... but wow. What can you say about a program that thought a black hero called 'Ghetto Man' was not in extremely bad taste?

Ow...my brain.

Now I must spread the pain.

Barely made it through the credits.

Barely.

Spiderman had a WHAT?

[kosaginolegion.livejournal.com]

Mmmm. I want it.

When did Spider-Man join the Power Rangers?

[romlc475.livejournal.com]

And when did one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles become uber-mutated and evil?

I'm off to scrub out my eyes and flush my brain of this...this...uuuuuuuuuuuugh!

[wwetuesday.livejournal.com]

Technicly, this pre-dates Power Rangers.

Japanese Spidey was the first live-action show to feature a giant robot.

<laughs loudly> I saw that! A friend of mine got a bootleg from either a friend in Japan or a bootlet at a con. We watched it a while back and just had fun with it...! :)

C'mon, it's not too terrible ... in context.

Yours,

You know, I was with it up until the giant robot. Really. Even with the gratuitous martial-arts posturing.

Of course, wasn't there some wierd Marvel giant-robot thing involving Spidey? I can't remember what it was called.

[gridlore.livejournal.com]

Marvel, for a time, had several comics based on toys (ROM, Micronauts, and Shogun Warriors.) I think Spidey crossed paths with one of the Shogun Warrior bots.

There was also a giant robot from the Godzilla comic that made apperances in several "mainstream" comic books.

[popefelix.livejournal.com]

No, this was recent. Not Marvel Knights - isn't that their "mature readers" imprint? - but something similar in name.

[skalja.livejournal.com]

I forget what it was called, but yes. It was an out of continuity story in which Spider-man, Captain America, a few other people, and Hulk (?!) were made to pilot giant robots.

[popefelix.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's it!

[gridlore.livejournal.com]

It was better than the Captain America movie. Or the Dolph Lundgren Punisher, or Corman's Fantastic Four.

Just saying, that's all.

my friend Gerry has this show. We all watched it at a con several years ago.


In the first episode you learn that Peter Parker is a race car driver (not a reporter or photographer) and he's given his powers by an alien named Prince Spider. And also the big giant mech, I'm not sure how. We loved it.

These were in the days when marvel needed money more than they needed to protect their franchise.

You missed the greatest scene. His first henshin (transformation). He uses a bracelet given to him by Prince Spider, the suit sorta flies out and FALLS on him . . . then he zips it up with a very audible zip.

When I was watching it with friends, I swear we rewatched that scene three or four times.
