Jeph Loeb's first episode as Executive Vice President, Head of Television under Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes was the episode "Along Came a Spider", and instantly the episode has drawn controversy over the dubbing over of a actor who voiced Spider-Man.

---

The episode, "Along Came a Spider" had just aired in Australia along with numerous new episodes of Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. The show will return with new episodes in the US supposedly on June 24th.

Now for the controversy of Spider-Men itself stems from Josh Keaton, the voice of Spider-Man for Spectacular Spider-Man, confirmed via his Facebook his voice was dubbed over with Drake Bell, current voice of Spidey on Ultimate Spider-Man. Mr. Keaton even confirmed that his reprisal would have gone more than one episode.

It should be also of note that J.K. Simmons voice of J Jonah Jameson on Ultimate Spider-Man also reprised his role in the episode, however it should be noted via this reporter his voice felt dubbed over more so than Spidey.

Even more, Daran Norris, who voiced Jonah on the Spetacular, played a side character in the episode adding more fuel to the fire. However Norris hasn't confirmed anywhere if he too was dubbed over.

Probably sounded too gay

Why does Jeph Loeb have to do this?

Why does Jeph Loeb have to do this?

Don't know if he was directly involved, but this was the first episode where he took over the Avengers production (since previously, the reigns were controlled by someone else).

That's why I asked the question.

You don't even read the teasers do you? People just easily assume he's the reason since he's the top brass as of this episode.

[Grayson]

Fact: Josh Keaton > Drake Bell. That's not even a question, it's scientific fact.

Well, it looks like I only have two more episodes of Avengers now.

Unlike you I am capable of reading. The question I was asking is why he did this?

[sdsichero]

That's why I asked the question.

Are you defending Loeb?

[syxxpakk]

The irony of someone questioning another's reading capabilities in this thread. He didn't ask "Why does it have to be Jeph Loeb that does this?" He asked "Why does Jeph Loeb have to do this?" i.e. why is he (Jeph Loeb), in what I suspect is his (Dragavon) viewpoint, ruining the Avengers show? It is his inference that this is an unnecessary move on Jeph Loeb's behalf.

Promote Ultimate as the be all Spidey now?

[prozacman]

Lobe probably was only thinking of the show in technical and marketing terms when having this done. He was likely oblivious to how it would make the fans and the people that worked on the show feel.

i dont get how this is controversial, voice actors get replaced constantly.
