Those that I’ve rewatched, yes. The Batman animated series and Spider-Man animated series from the mid 90s both still hold up IMO.

The Spider-Man series in particular was outstanding at introducing me to so many other Marvel characters. The voice acting is also great and contains more recognizable names than I ever would have guessed.

Yeah I always felt the Spider-Man show nailed the character - his snarky one-liners were very on-brand and for ages that was who Spider-Man was to me.

Agreed. I always enjoyed his interactions with Jameson, or "Picklepuss" as he called him. JK Simmons is of course the GOAT, but Ed Asner did the character justice.

Oh yeah, Asner did an awesome job. RIP.

As did the recently deceased David Warner, who voiced Herbert Landon. Started off as a one-off villain and then became a recurring character. King move.

I recall a YouTube video that the animated series is where Sam Raimi got most of his inspiration from for the Spiderman films. More so than the comic's.
