One of the most beloved and interesting changes from the comics. I can still hear TAS Kingpin shouting 'SMYTHE!' when something goes wrong for them perfectly. Always wanted to see an interpretation where Smythe is introduced as a schoolmate of Peter, and naturally an intellectual rival lacking Peter's characteristic humility.
Me to. I've always had a soft spot for some of the more obscure characters in comic books. I've always thought that, with perhaps some fine-tuning here and there, they could actually have a lot of potential.
Absolutely loved the character Alistair Symthe and his reasoning behind working for hands down one of the best Spider-Man villains the Kingpin, building the spider slayers and eventually ended up becoming one as with Kingpin’s frustrations with Symthe’s failures
Interestingly, Smythe's fate was accidentally spoiled years before he became a Spider-Slayer when they were promoting the toys and showed pictures of his figure.
@@striderreborn1467 that’s right I saw toys of him but had no clue it was going do with the cartoon series same goes for billionaire version of Spider-Man in that armoured suit
I don't think any superhero has such an awesome array of villains that Spiderman and Batman have as nemesis ! They both have the best antagonists ever created.
Alistair and Kingpin was a fun duo in the show. Landon was´t as likeable but he served his role when Alistair left him and funny enough started working for Silvermane. And then during the Wedding episode he designed his Goblin-Warriors to help Harry Osborn as Green Goblin get Mary Jane. And Kingpin reactivated the Mega-Slayer and toke care of them. Sloppy of Smythe to get beaten by his own design 2 seasons ago. And ofcourse the Secret Wars when he was picked as a Villian he was soon under Red Skull to work for him when he only wanted to leave and get back to his father. And finally the Smythe from another dimension with Spider-Carnage.
A live action Smythe and Kingpin alliance would be great as long as the writing is competent and the characters are handled with respect. Obviously, the right actor for Smythe would be key. The character won't work if Disney gets James Corden to play him.
Thank you for making this video! I remember smythe with the weird body and shoulder thingys but couldn’t remember his origin and didn’t have the time to rewatch everything so this video is just perfect to remind me and fills me with so much nostalgia 😊
👍👍I remember really enjoying this arc in the animated series and and also neogenic nightmare for how dark and morally ambiguous everything was. X-Men days of future past was another great one 👍
@@patrikbengtsson3883 I just went to google and typed in Marvel's version of Crisis on Infinite Earths and it came up with Secret Wars and we are getting Secret Wars in the MCU in 2025.
If They Revive Spiderman TAS from 1994-1998 I Hope They Have Peter Parker Spider-Man Find Mary Jane And Have William Baker Flint Marko The Sandman Make An Appearance And Revive Other Marvel Cartoons And I Hope Bruce Banner Aka The Incredible Hulk Make An Appearance And Also Jennifer Walters The She Hulk Make Appearance
Goodnite. Sir. You can't forget about the 1967 Spiderman Cartoon Alistair Symthe was in that classic Cartoon also. But went under a different name Henry Symthe But he was much older in this Cartoon. Almost like his dad. He tried to get Spiderman man 🕷way back then also too.
i never got this dude,He had these meat blasters on his shoulders,and he always hit random licks for KingPin but was always a Backup,His voice tripped me out as a kid 2.
Actually as one thing to point out, Smythe was already left paralized from a previous lab accident which his father blamed himself for, this was why he first worked for the Kingpin before his own 'Death' in the show. (Spoilers)
that was the 90's cartoon version in the comics; Alistair was crippled in his first battle with Spider-Man while piloting the Spider Slayer Mark 7 in the Amazing Spider-Man 1 video game, Alistair was crippled when he injected himself with an imperfect cure to the Cross-Species Virus he was infected with, which also cost him his sanity
I first knew about Alistair from the comics back then i lost interest in him quickly, but then came the 90s cartoon and the tasm tie in game and ever since then i loved the character. Edit: 17:47 the game is called the amazing spider-man 1, not the amazing spider-man 2 that game was released in 2014
I think that may be, at least in part, because Smythe was actually a character who originated from the cartoon and not the comics. Or at the very least the cartoon took a much more obscure character from the comics and gave him a much more prominent role.
13:44 actually the amazing spiderman 1 video game on the 2nd game was carnage the main antagonist and alistair smythe was also on 2017 spiderman cartoon.
I really want a marvel legends of him, he deserve it. It's the only one who hasn't got a modern remaster, that figure of 1994 by toybiz was good, but we need a better version. Possibly in a 6 inch scale.
I would bring him back in the comics. Spiderman should rotate his rouges more often ( same for all of comics lately especially Batman. I like Joker but can Twoface get some love lol )
Smythe was not crippled in the same explosion that killed his father. Alistair was crippled years earlier in a lab explosion his father felt responsible for.
I would like to see this character (Alistair Smythe) make his appearance in the M.C.U. someday. I can imagine many different versions of him appear in it; Be it him appearing in the M.C.U. shows, or him appearing in the M.C.U. movies.
The 90s show had some crazy designs. His always was funny to me. The flat-top mullet and thick British accent is a humorous contrast since the hairstyle looks so exclusively used for hillbillies. The body modified version is also kinda random with the shoulder things and hairy animal legs.
Hey, love the videos, just a note about inclusive language - we dint use the word crippled, its discriminatory. We now use the word disabled or differently abled to describe someone with life changing injuries.😢
Alistair Symthe was already crippled because of an off-screen accident and Spencer Symthe was working for Osborne so that he would build Alistair that hover chair
I cant even name my top ten Spiderman villains bc I have 30 and probably can name 100 but Kingpin Green Goblin Hobgoblin Venom Carnage Doc Oc Shocker ( underrated ) Mysterio Chameleon Electro might be in my top 10 but I also love Rhyno, Vulture, Scorpion, Kraven, Smithe, Beetle, Taskmaster, Tombstone, Sandman, Hammerhead, Silvermaine, Mr. Negative, Hydro Man, Prowler, and so many others. The one village I never liked but can see why other people do is the Lizard. I like Connors especially in TAS and he was in good episodes but I never liked him. I love Spectacular Spiderman and even like Ultimate Spiderman but Spiderman TAS is my favorite. From nostalgia to character designs to voice work to comic accurate stories this is my Spiderman.
So let's be real here, I do like your content, but will not subscribe. This is simply because your voice actor/s can't pronounce things correctly (seriously, you have one job...)
Yes pretty nice but later ins eries did he not make scorpion styled robots for scorpion not to mention those robots for red skull in finalle of 90s series.

I think they actually do something in the latest Spider-Man cartoon show.
The world would feel snaller if that was the case. Not everyone needs to know eachother.
He’s one of my favorite villains from the 90’s show. I’m glad that show made him more prominent.
Me to. I've always had a soft spot for some of the more obscure characters in comic books. I've always thought that, with perhaps some fine-tuning here and there, they could actually have a lot of potential.
The 90’s show made you feel bad for him.

He is iconic with his mullet.
I’m gonna watch this show now, I usually watch it twice a year. It feels the best when it’s cold outside and warm inside
Same here!🙂
Alistair Smythe is my favorite underrated Spider-Man villain ever
True we don't really see anything of him after the 90's
Alistair and Kingpin was a fun duo in the show. Landon was´t as likeable but he served his role when Alistair left him and funny enough started working for Silvermane. And then during the Wedding episode he designed his Goblin-Warriors to help Harry Osborn as Green Goblin get Mary Jane. And Kingpin reactivated the Mega-Slayer and toke care of them.

And ofcourse the Secret Wars when he was picked as a Villian he was soon under Red Skull to work for him when he only wanted to leave and get back to his father. And finally the Smythe from another dimension with Spider-Carnage.
Smythe was the real enemy of Spiderman since he attached the most dangerous element to him that's JJ Jameson.
A live action Smythe and Kingpin alliance would be great as long as the writing is competent and the characters are handled with respect. Obviously, the right actor for Smythe would be key. The character won't work if Disney gets James Corden to play him.
Exactly and just as well, get the Big Show to play the Kingpin
Other underrated Spider-Man villains: Morlun, Carrion, Jackal, Kindred, Demogoblin, Thousand, Swarm, Mr. Ditkovich.
Rent?
@@Menaceblue3 You'll get your rent once you fixed that damn door.
@@Kal-Grayskull shut up with your boring trolling.
Let’s not forget Herbert Landon
Not to mention Michael Morbeus
Alistair Smythe was already crippled/paralysed when his father seemingly perished in that explosion, minor research error there.
Only to reveal that Spencer Smythe was kept in cryostasis by the Kingpin
Thank you for making this video! I remember smythe with the weird body and shoulder thingys but couldn’t remember his origin and didn’t have the time to rewatch everything so this video is just perfect to remind me and fills me with so much nostalgia 😊
This Animated show was absolutely 💯 outstanding thanks for yet another fantastic video!😎👍👍
Another 90's certified classic
Alistair ended up in a wheelchair, following the explosion of a different lab that Spencer was working at, before working for Osborn at Oscorp.
Alistair smythe is a cool villain and very underrated
His reaction when he became a spider slayer hybrid knowing his father was still alive was in the feels
Exactly
👍👍I remember really enjoying this arc in the animated series and and also neogenic nightmare for how dark and morally ambiguous everything was. X-Men days of future past was another great one 👍
I want to see this guy as a villain in a Spider-Man movie.
And I want there to be a MCU version of Crisis On Infinite Earths?
@@patrikbengtsson3883 Crisis On Infinite Earths is from DC Comics not Marvel so it will never be in the MCU.

God that would be brilliant could you image if they finished it off where they left it make it happen
I think alistair's engineering prowess rivals even the tinkerer's
Perhaps so
I remember he was going to be in a live action Spider Man movie but it never happened.
He definitely deserved a movie-
I think Guy Pearce would have made a better Smythe than “Mandarin”.
I forgot the part where that's my problem
@@Menaceblue3 you probably forget a lot of things. We wont hold it against you little buddy!
@@4aw50fGold first of all, Ben Kingsley was the Mandarin and second, yeah, Guy Pierce would've made a great Alistair Smythe

That would be awesome also bring back venom and carnage
He looks like Edward Brock in the comics.
Oh no, his fah-der died. Then he made a taran-tula. Then he was placed in cry-row-geen-sis
He looks like Captain Planet without bleached skin.
Alistair Smythe should have more screen time in a new movie along the Kingpin and we should see also Spidermutant against the scorpion!!😁👌👍
Can’t believe both insomniac games forgot about this dude
Goodnite. Sir. You can't forget about the 1967 Spiderman Cartoon Alistair Symthe was in that classic Cartoon also. But went under a different name Henry Symthe But he was much older in this Cartoon. Almost like his dad. He tried to get Spiderman man 🕷way back then also too.
Who used to be…
Captain Planet?!
Acevane be cooking this man 😂
All the villains from Spider-Man's escapades
7:59 one of few who can go toe to toe with Wilson Fisk!

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone cover this character yet ..
I can remember him from the Animated Series but can’t remember much else about him ..
I think that may be, at least in part, because Smythe was actually a character who originated from the cartoon and not the comics. Or at the very least the cartoon took a much more obscure character from the comics and gave him a much more prominent role.
Ah Alistair Smith
13:44 actually the amazing spiderman 1 video game on the 2nd game was carnage the main antagonist and alistair smythe was also on 2017 spiderman cartoon.
Ah so this is where my memory where i thought 2face was a spiderman villain and not a mandela effect 😂😂
Can you do Herbert Landon origin story video
8:00 Smythe PUNCHED the Kingpin even though punching was not really allowed in this series!
I wish they would release Spiderman the animated series on DVD or blue ray.
What is the soundtrack you use for background music?
I didn't know he has the same voice as James bond in 007 Nightfire
I really want a marvel legends of him, he deserve it. It's the only one who hasn't got a modern remaster, that figure of 1994 by toybiz was good, but we need a better version.
Possibly in a 6 inch scale.
I hope they bring back Spiderman TAS
Gizmo from DC comics and Teen titans needs love too. Small underrated supervillains can be interesting

He was one of the reason spider-man fight was not easy and make spider-man really hate Robots.
@@langbo9999 true enough
he had tentacles that shoot lasers
Smythe was not crippled in the same explosion that killed his father. Alistair was crippled years earlier in a lab explosion his father felt responsible for.
he looks like captain planet
Since he is a fictional character, I will be mildly irritated on his behalf. It's SMYTHE not SMITE. Did you watch the show? I mean they say it a lot.
This is how they can correctly introduce Kingpin to the Spiderman franchise or at least make a TV series called spider verse
I would like to see this character (Alistair Smythe) make his appearance in the M.C.U. someday.
I can imagine many different versions of him appear in it; Be it him appearing in the M.C.U. shows, or him appearing in the M.C.U. movies.
The most monstrous thing about this man is that Mullet!
Alistair was always causing some kind of problem to Spiderman. I knew it was about to be something when he showed up
I just had a dream Eminem played him in a live-action movie
Alistair.. Alistair!
I'm not a window cleaner!

Yeah, the meta human thing is a dc comics thing, and in marvel they’re referred to as mutates just to clarify.
Hey, love the videos, just a note about inclusive language - we dint use the word crippled, its discriminatory. We now use the word disabled or differently abled to describe someone with life changing injuries.😢
Mmmm... nowadays every single word is discriminatory and offensive.

SyMtHe
Could he be the villain of Spider-Man 4?
He kinda looks like Ray Liotta.
Personally, I prefer my abilities to be pure evil. But I can still enjoy a good sympathetic villain every now and then.
13:59. WRONG. It was the first game (The Amazing Spider-Man).
Guys, name of the villain who got his powers from a Golden weaver spider? I forgot his name.
Mace windu
Smythe was the main antagonist in Amazing Spider Man 1 game not 2

The one village I never liked but can see why other people do is the Lizard. I like Connors especially in TAS and he was in good episodes but I never liked him.
I love Spectacular Spiderman and even like Ultimate Spiderman but Spiderman TAS is my favorite. From nostalgia to character designs to voice work to comic accurate stories this is my Spiderman.
I just realized he hasn't been rebooted character since the 90s he must not be popular enough or at all...
his name is Landon not Landor
I hated his second design during Spider-Man Big Time story arc where dons the metallic armour.
Ah yes, the Captain Planet-looking hairdo on a ProfX advance wheelchair.😅
His fodder
1:45 No Alistair was already in a wheelchair he wasn't crippled in the explosion, no offence but did u even watch the show,
He was a lot better in the cartoon than he is in the comics (He’s a bit lame in the comics .).
Bro that's Amazing Spider-Man (2012) game not the sequel.
All this for a hover chair.
Is he pronouncing “the” duh..?? Or “other” udder..?? I am questioning my hearing
He does do that
I only know this dude from TASM game. He was lame there.
Underrated? I don't know about that. I remember him getting plenty of air-time!
The mullett was such a bad design choice.
