Japanese Spider-Man Episodes

Just in case you were wondering what would happen if someone made a live-action superhero series that doesn't suck, look no further:

Marvel.com has started putting streaming episodes up, with subtitles. He's a motorcycle driving badass with a giant robot, so he's approximately 10000000x cooler than the original Spider-Man.

I remember the SOC, and wanted him badly, but can't seem to find him. Always thought this take on Spiderman was awesome

Happy to see Marvel pimping it

Was it the Japanese or Korean Spiderman that had a uzi and was not afraid to use it?

I don't know about the doesn't suck by today's standards, but definitely at the time it was pretty good.

By today's standards, though, I think you need something more like Heroes or the X-Men movies, rather than this.

Still fun to see this old stuff... and you know I love anything with motorcycles in it.

Marvel is the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time)!!!!!!!!!!

ROFLMAO!!!

Not only did they have him actually walking up, and down (!!!) the side of a building (opening credits. Let's see a Westren action star do that), it has the same campy feel as the original Batman TV series. I was waiting for the campy sound effects (K-POW! SHAZAM!) to flash across the screen. It looks like a pretty good sentai series.

Awesome, hope they bring it out on DVD in the States. I also like the range of emotions this Spider-Man has.
