It’s never been an easy life for the Silver Surfer. Ever since the day Norrin Radd willingly surrendered his existence to Galactus to save his love and home planet, the former herald has never been able to catch a break. While he’s always acted heroically, the Surfer’s alien nature and association with the Devourer of Worlds earn him more foes than friends, even as he stands for what’s right.

Spider-Man Unlimited: How Sam Raimi's Move Spawned Spidey's Controversial Series

Val Keller — Fri, 29 Dec 2023 13:20:13 GMT

When audiences think about Spider-Man, there’s a high chance that Tobey Maguire from Sam Raimi’s legendary trilogy is what comes to mind. At the same time, it's even likelier that audiences don't picture a cape, a rebel in a societal sci-fi war, or a space traveler when they think about Spider-Man. However, these odd ingredients are in fact Peter Parker's defining characteristics in Spider-Man Unlimited; not the game, not the comic, but a 1999 animated series that had more problems than it did viewers. Across nearly 60 years of Spider-Man film and television, Unlimited doubtlessly stands as the character's weakest outing. Coincidentally, it’s almost entirely due to one of his strongest efforts, 2002’s Spider-Man feature film, that destroyed any chance tht Spider-Man Unlimited had at finding success.
