* ContinuityReboot: The series seems to have completely replaced ''WesternAnimation/{{Ultimate Spider|Man2012}}-Man'' in the SharedUniverse, and as a result, has no ties to said series aside from some of the characters.

** The series apparently exists within the same universe as ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble''. However so did ''WesternAnimation/{{Ultimate Spider|Man2012}}-Man'', which makes things confusing if you've followed the previous series and wondering how the Avengers from ''Avengers Assemble'' are now here, as the show never explains this and acts like ''Ultimate Spider-Man'' never happened.
** Season 2 features an origin story for MODOK, and the Avengers act like they've never encountered him before. This is odd since MODOK was a major recurring villain in the early seasons of ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble'', a series that this ostensibly takes place in the same continuity with.
** In the season 1 episode "Venom", Peter seems to already know Mary Jane Watson, reacting with mild surprise when Flash tells him that it's "MJ" who's wearing the Midtown High mascot suit. But the season 3 episode "Amazing Friends" shows Peter and Mary Jane being introduced to each other by Aunt May, with their interactions making it clear that this is their first meeting.

** Zig-Zagged. The series is about Peter balancing his superheroics with his normal life, which is something that ''[[WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012 Ultimate Spider-Man]]'' had downplayed for a majority of its run, but still takes itself in a fairly different direction due to Peter's enrollment into Horizon High. Although, it appears that this series is much more faithful to the comics than ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming''.

* AbsenteeActor: "The Vengeance of Venom" two-parter involves the Avengers and most of New York's other heroes being possessed by Venom symbiotes. Despite this, Ms. Marvel, Hulk and Black Widow don't show up or even get mentioned during the invasion. They're even missing during the montage showing heroes being attacked across the city. Ms. Marvel's absence is especially jarring given her fellow teen Avengers trainees ComicBook/{{Ironheart}} and [[ComicBook/AmadeusCho Totally Awesome Hulk]] do appear.
