In the world of Media, you don't get a lot of second chances, well Maybe you do...?
Disney did not release the 1990's X-Men animated series until 2009, shortly before the release of X-Men origins (the 4th film...)
Now Disney/Marvel and Sony have partnered up and are releasing Spider-Man: Homecoming in July, plus the all new Marvel's Spider-Man animated series to be released this summer. This will be the 6th theatrical film, and 9th animated series based on the wall crawler to date...
So with all this opportunity, one would think now would be a prime time (after so many missed opportunities previously) to release some of the other Spider-Man animated series on DVD. Sure there have been single disc releases in the past, and some of these have been released over in the UK, but of the 8 previous Spider-Man series , only 3 have been released on DVD in completion:
1. Spider-Man (1967)
2. Spider-Man the New Animated Series (2003)
&
3. The Spectacular Spider-Man (2008) -on DVD & Blu Ray
Now of the unreleased ones, the most popular, and often on the top of most unreleased DVD's list is:
Spider-Man (1994)
I would love for Disney to finally release this on DVD. Heck I'd love them to release "Amazing Friends" and "Ultimate" as well...but first things first. So the question is...we are just a little over 3 months away from the premiere of the new film...usually most DVD news can occur from 1-2 months before the products actual release.... Is Disney going to finally make my dreams (and many others) come true and finally DO SOMETHING about getting these various series out on Home media, or will they again let the opportunity pass...yet again?
All of these series were on Netflix by the way, for several years along with pretty much all of Marvels animated history. Sure I can be content to watch bootleg videos on Youtube, but I'd love to pay to have the actual licensed product in physical form. Come on Disney, for once in your life, don't let me down!
There are no more good TV Shows, only ones that haven't disappointed me yet.
