Does Ultimate Spider-Man get any better? I remember watching the first season awhile ago and it just seemed to never really nail. As much as I love Peter, I don't really see him in a team leader role at all and the show seemed, from memory, to barely touch on that dynamic and just did a lot of standard Spidey stories and barely established the other members of the cast (including Luke and Danny which is criminal). Also, the show struggled with tone - I'm okay with a light Spidey show, but the show attempted to have momments of pogiency (Harry struggling with Venom) and then had Peter wackily address the audience two-seconds later.
I'm also kind of hoping the whole Coulson dating May creepy subplot was ditched in season two. I hated that the onous was put on Peter, when really, he had every right to be uncomfortable - Coulson couldn't tell the truth about himself and he would have been briefed about Ben. Peter had every right to be uncomfortable about it and seeing Phil pursue his own intrests over a kid in his charge was just creepy and selfish.
