So I decided to see if I could find some of the other title sequences from that series and the other Marvel series from the 1960's, and they are almost all equally corny. Since I am really quite the neophyte when it comes to comics, from watching these intros, I still have no idea what the storylines of some of these are so I can't comment on accuracy.
Iron Man
Mighty Thor
Sub-mariner
Captain America
And when you compare those ones with the big dog, Spiderman, they come off sorely lacking. I bet if you were in a public place and just started humming the theme from Spiderman, other people would join in, because it is just that damn catchy, is it not. It is still corny, but man, it really sticks with you. It truly is one for the ages.
As a point of interest, I found a site that has the theme songs from a lot of the cartoons from the past, which really gave me a frame of reference for this whole thing.

I don't know I've always kind of liked the Iron Man one. Has a 70s ladies man type of feel about it.
Man now that I think about it - I want a theme song like that. Granted I'm not Iron Man or a cool cat with a heart of steel and generally I don't fight..fight..fight.
Oh well.
I'd rather have this as a theme song though.
Man, these are bad. The Cap America one sounded like a western theme song.
i love Marvel and hate their theme songs. :(
Semaj: Blame Canada... because the company used our "talents" to make those.
Mayren: The ones you love always hurt you in the world of pop culture.
