>>106240685I'm not a fan of the direction they took with Shocker and Kraven. In the former's case, I really like Herman specifically as a character and how he made the gauntlets himself. On the other hand, I liked the increased focus on the Enforcers the change led to, and I really like the shows interpretation of them. I just wish it wasn't at the expense of Herman, is all.
As for Kraven, I hated the Ultimate-inspired direction they took with having him get his DNA spliced with a lion's. I thought his first showing against Spider-Man while he was still human was actually pretty solid--it wasn't like it was completely one-sided with Spider-Man effortlessly dealing with Kraven or anything. I still remember watching that part and being excited to see what kind of grander, creative ideas Kraven came up with for traps and the like for his next encounter with Spider-Man, only for him to immediately go for the shortcut cheat of becoming a lion man instead.
I mostly liked what Spectacular did with characters, mind you. I just didn't find it perfect across the board, personally.
