Question: Why were animators constantly repeating footage throughout the entire series? For me, this method was totally nonsensical because it led to numerous continuity errors. For example, in the episode "Enter the Punisher," Spider-Man lacked his extra arms in one shot because the footage was used from a different episode. Why were animators doing this?

Answer: It saves money. Animation is costly and time-consuming. A low-budget show can cut costs by reusing existing footage. They likely assumed or hoped a young audience didn't notice or care.
