Spider-Man (2003)

Trivia: Kingpin is voiced by Michael Clarke Duncan, who also played him in the live-action 2003 "Daredevil" movie.

Trivia: The cel-shaded CG animation lead to a lot of changes during production, especially since the show was made quickly and cel-shading was still relatively new and cutting edge at the time. Mary Jane was given a shorter hairstyle because her original longer hair had a bad tendency to glitch and "clip" through her body. Peter's clothes were made tighter because his original baggier clothes were hard to render. And Kraven's vest never quite looked right, so it was replaced with a leather jacket.

Trivia: Peter's ringtone is the classic Nokia ringtone, but played in reverse.

Trivia: Originally intended to be a stand-alone series that adapted the "Ultimate Spider-Man" comics. However, it was retooled slightly during pre-production to also serve as a sort-of tie-in to the popular 2002 "Spider-Man" movie by incorporating elements from it, down to even using a slightly modified version of the movie's title card font for the opening credits. However, the show was later rendered non-canonical due to the movie sequels contradicting it.

Trivia: The show was actually a ratings hit for MTV, who distributed it. However, despite its popularity, the network decided to cancel it as network executives felt it didn't quite fit in with their other content. Sadly, this meant the show ended on a cliffhanger.

Trivia: Reportedly, Aunt May was not featured in the show as a character (only being seen in photographs) because MTV feared her inclusion would make teenagers and 20-somethings less likely to watch for... some reason.
