    ... Huh! My first thought was:

    Awwww man

    Followed by:

    Yeah I guess that makes sense

    But... Then I read the article and saw that it had a 92% on Rotten Tomatoes and now I'm back to being sort of confused?

      It's always cause it's too expensive to make and not enough people watch it.

    Nick was great, always funny and clever, but the show's writing felt unbalanced for me:

    Spoiler We have a Spider-man that is not against killing the bad guys. In the first episode he clearly sees how the bad guy murders someone in cold blood, then after perusing him escaping in a car and Spider-man clearly killing some of the goons, he lets him get away unscratched.
