FIRST TIME WATCHING: Andrew Garfield's Spiderman *The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)*

[@Shadi092986]

In the comics, Gwen Stacy is Peter's very first love interest, as well as having to build his own synthetic web shooters. Only the Tobey Spider-Man movies made his webs shoot naturally from his wrists. Andrew's cocky and quippy Spider-Man is very accurate too!

[@rafailkarampetsos6914]

​@@LiveFromThePorcelainPalace before Betty it was Liz actually

[@hellowhat890]

Also, I think the main reason Andrew doesn't have an MJ is because of two reasons, they tried to fit her in the story but couldn't. Also, if the writers were following the original comics, Peter actually fell for Gwen Stacy first and didn't meet MJ until later after high school.

[@spongeboymebob771]

[@SweenyTodd98]

easily the best version of Flash in the movies

[@nicksmyth4050]

What I love about this version of Peter is, instead of being a loser for being a “nerd” like Tobey & Holland, this version is more of an outcast cause of his personality (he’s awkward, shy, and jittery). Then when he’s Spider-Man he comes alive and is the funniest of the 3 versions. I also like the expectation subversion with the bullies on the subway, where even though they’re screwing with Peter, they still stick up for the girl when they think Peter is harassing her. It’s a great set-up to Flash’s redemption, showing there is always another side to people ALSO, as a New Yorker, Andrew’s Spidey sounds the most like one

[@ChrisPTenders]

I think the Raimi depiction of Peter Parker gave people the idea he's supposed to be a nerd, but nobody realizes that's actually a unique take, just like making him awkward and jittery. In the comics he's actually written as someone who everyone hates because he's a condescending narcissist, which makes writing a true comic book accurate Peter Parker a very hard sell as a character to any movie studio. We've had multiple takes on the character in comics as well. The misunderstood cool guy was done in the Ultimate series, where he successfully uses his powers to earn respect and becomes popular in high school. There's even a comic version of Peter written like a young Tony Stark, so pretty much every movie version of Peter had a comic run that did a similar take a few years prior to the adaptation.

[@unluckydiablo9502]

"Oh no, my one weakness, small knives!" Cracked me up!

[@Umbra7X23]

I like how u say that this version of spidey is different by following up with saying that he's "awkward , shy and jittery" yeah literally just like every other Peter/spidey before him the only difference between Andrew's Peter and every other Peter we've had is him slightly taking advantage of his powers by being a show off when he was in the gym breaking the glass on the basket ball hoop

The portrayal of Peter’s personally from Garfield is actually a lot more in line with the comics than Maguire. Peter never really had that puppy dog quality. He had a chip on his shoulder and would still say what he wanted. Even if he looked like a nerd, but he stopped looking like a nerd shortly after he became Spider-Man. And this version of Spider-Man is much more in line with the comics. As he really goes after the people he’s fighting with clever insults to throw them off.

The closest we ever came was Fembots and Sasquatch episodes against Steve and/or Jamie. And when those happened, I was all in! But we never got that with the comic heroes. Never a Goblin or a Vulture or a Shocker. Never a Leader or an Abomination or an Absorbing Man. Never a Cheetah or a Circe or a Silver Swan. Just 3 or 4 guys with baseball bats and flannel shirts. So sad ...

[@WraithWTF]

The funniest part about the Garfield Spiderman movies and the hate that they got is that Garfield's take on Spiderman (and on Peter, if we're being honest) is more comic-accurate than the Tobey or Tom Holland versions are. The cockiness, the quirkiness, the constant quips and one-liners, the movements, all are so much more like the comics in Garfield's version. Plus the cinematography is so much better than the Raimi movies had, the first-person shots of Spiderman swinging through the city still hold up incredibly well today. It probably helps that Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy actually has some agency and is highly competent, instead of basically every female character being a constant damsel-in-distress screaming for help every 5 minutes like in the Raimi movies. Also, poor Andrew Garfield, not getting a third Spiderman movie....he absolutely deserved to get one.

[@earthsruby]

This version of Spider-Man is actually way more true to the original comics than Tobye's. Not only did the original Spider-Man build his web shooters, as he wasn't able to produce the web in his body (no idea why Sam Raimi went with that), but Gwen was also the original love interest. Plus Peter always has been as cheeky/sassy, especially when talking to bad guys. Tobey's version had some attempts of that, but here they really made it stick out, which I actually love.

[@ethanrodgers2838]

Also another thing that makes him a little more accurate is that he didn’t jump into the hero game after Uncle Ben died. In the Lee and Ditko run, Peter didn’t put on his costume to become a superhero after Ben’s death. He was still looking for ways to profit off of his powers, as him letting the thief get away screwed him and his aunt financially. It wasn’t until like 4 or so issues that he thought about being a hero. So yeah, I give this movie props for that.

[@JimmyXWolvie]

Hey there, To answer your question about Andrew not being spiderman in the MCU, it was a licencing issue. Spiderman lives with Sony, and for a long time Marvel couldn't use him. After the Amazing spiderman 2 came out, Sony was beginning to create a bad reputation as a studio and so in desperate times, they came together with Marvel to make a "unique" licencing deal: We'll let you use spiderman in the MCU, If you help us (Sony) make better Spider-Man movies in your universe. And that is why we have a third spiderman, to start new without carrying the baggage andrews movies had. Hope that helps! ✌

[@TheRubberDuck77]

Andrew is actually british, but he is just a great actor and a HUGE Spiderman fan, he said he was a bit of a geek growing up and Peter/Spiderman helped... I always have said, to the comics, Tobey was a closer Peter to the comics, Andrew did a closer Spiderman (the quips/wit is totally comic Spidey.... Spidey is all the sass) and Tom does a good both.

[@ethanrodgers2838]

I kinda disagree with Tobey being a little closer to Peter. If we’re talking about the Lee and Ditko run, which had Peter in High School all the way to his first couple of years in college, Peter has a short temper and is less shy and awkward than how he’s portrayed in Raimi’s movies.

[@jaimeruiz7837]

Toby's spiderman/peter parker is nothing like the comics. Thats just bs ppl say, Andrew is closer to Peter than all of the live action actors. Compare him to ultimate comics or mainline.

[@MrTyfun]

The reason I love TASM 1 is because of the character development throughout the movie. He never really wanted to catch the criminal for the shake of helping people. He just wanted to take revenge and not get caught so he started using Spiderman mask. The bridge scene where he saves the kid, is when he actually became a Spiderman and realised he has more to do than just catch a guy who killed his uncle. He was not Spiderman when he made a Spiderman suit. And Gwen's dad was acutally right at the dinner table when he said spiderman is just catching people who looks similar.

The best live action Spiderman we've ever gotten. This is Peter Parker ripped straight from the pages of the comics. I don't think we'll ever get a better portrayal of Spiderman, than we did with Andrew. Simply unparalleled.

[@BatFan1]

SM3 w/Toby was the movie Sam Raimi didnt want to make but was forced to by Sony to include Venom, a character he didnt find interesting but since fans were waiting for Venom to appear he was forced to put him in the movie, after that his relationship with Sony broke down and SM4 was planned but then shelved when Raimi quit. Instead of continuing the story (like WB did with Batman after Keaton left and made movies with Kilmer and Clooney) Sony decided to revamp SM and start over, thus Amazing Spider-Man. Then when the ASM movies didnt reach the box office numbers of the previous movies that's when they decided to partner with Marvel/Disney and join the MCU with Holland as Spider-Man and start over again. As for Gwen, in the comics she was Peter's first love. The Raimi SM skipped that relationship and went straight to MJ, the MCU Spidey as well. You kinda already know what happens since Garfield-Spidey in No Way Home he says what happens.

[@Zuernaxashyr]

I didn't expect this reaction! Andrew is my favorite Spidey and this movie has my favorite Spidey suit! (I also dig how it actually looks hand made like it's suppose to be.) Andrew and Emma's chemistry was so great but considering they were dating at the time it makes sense. Also I've heard some don't like how Spidey is portrayed in this movie but they seem to fail to realize that he doesn't become "Spider-Man" until after that bridge scene where he saves that guy's kid.

1:44 So in the late 90s Marvel was actually going out of business, so Marvel sold off character rights to Sony and 21st Century Fox to stave it off until Kevin Feige created Marvel Studios and the MCU in 2005. One of the stipulations for both Fox and Sony to keep having said character rights is they needed to make movies about said characters every X number of years otherwise the rights go back to Marvel. That is why the Amazing Spider-Man series came to be: it was Sony trying to hold onto the character rights after Tobey's 2007 Spider-Man 3 movie came out. When Sony was hacked in 2014 and they lost a ton of money due to really bad publicity (ask Angelina Jolie) they agreed with Marvel Studios to let them use Spider-Man in the MCU in exchange for those movies being considered part of Sony fulfilling the original contract and therefore holding onto the Spider-Man rights. Marvel decided on a new Spider-Man because they didn't want to merge the MCU with Andrew Garfield's ASM universe. In other words, Marvel forced Sony to agree to a recast for the character so Marvel could protect the continuity of the MCU and Sony had to agree otherwise risk losing the character rights altogether

[@bagelbramble7335]

1:43 originally Andrew was supposed to be the mcu spidey. Avengers 2012 was supposed to have the oscorp tower from this film in it, but they couldn't decide on a design soon enough, so they stayed disconnected.

[@bagelbramble7335]

Bonus fun fact: Nick Fury mentions Spider-Man and Mutants in a deleted version of the Iron Man 1 end credit scene, but due to rights issues they weren't allowed to keep it, so ORIGINALLY Tobey and the X-Men were going to be mcu canon as well. (You can find the deleted scene here on KZbin)

28:35 Its interesting you say that. That has always been the message of Spiderman, from comic books to everything else, that, basically, technology is the enemy. Technology is used by all enemies deliberately. Spiderman himself is the product of someone elses experiment accidentally thrust on him, while all of the enemies are volunteers and chose the path to develop and test the technology on themselves. In the original spiderman it was a radioactive spider, in modern spiderman its a genetically engineered spider. Both sciences were new and scary when their respective spidermans came out.

In the Spider-Man comics very beginning it was initially Gwen Stacy who Peter Parker was in love with, Mary Jane Watson wasn’t an actual main character for Spider-Man until a couple years later and was a fan favorite. The business back then decided they needed shock factor and the writers of the death of Gwen Stacy comic had a meeting to decide who they needed to kill off between MJ, aunt may, and Gwen Stacy. The initial idea given from the head office was aunt may since she was old but the creators decided against it due to her role being too important to Peter, they couldn’t just give him a new mother figure, but they did have a fan favorite lined up who could replace his love interest so they decided to do that

As far as your question for why Andrew Garfield couldn't move on to play Spiderman in the Avengers/they had Tom Holland replace him, here's the scoop.... Coming off the hugely successful 2012 Avengers film, many movie studios attempted to replicate their formula of having their own cinematic universes with little to no success themselves. For example, Universal tried doing a "Dark Universe" with various monster movies. The 2017 Mummy film with Tom Cruise was supposed to be the kickstarter for it. It totally bombed so the whole idea was scrapped. That said... The Amazing Spiderman was to be Sony's own attempt at creating a Spiderman cinematic universe since they own the movie rights to the character. The problem was that after the first Amazing Spiderman was a relatively successful hit, the studio execs got overly anxious with the idea of creating this cinematic universe. So what did they do? They tried cramming WAY too many plot points into the Amazing Spiderman 2 in order to set the stage for too many future movies that didn't even exist yet and the movie suffered for it. It was the lowest drawing Spiderman movie to date and it's looked down on very unfavorably by both audiences and critics. Because of this, the Amazing Spiderman series was cut short after only two movies, the attempted Sony Spiderman universe was scrapped, and Andrew Garfield's involvement as Spiderman came to a close. This is why Marvel Studios worked out a deal with Sony to allow Tom Holland to play Spiderman in Civil War shortly after. It was yet another attempt to reboot Spiderman.

In the comics and cartoons Spuderman developed his own webbing. Btw Andrew Garfield is English, but yes does a great New Yorker

[@Julini89]

it is a multiverse it is explained a little in the later MCU movies. but in reality the rights to Spider-man was not owned by marvel and disney until Tom Holland came along before it was a Sony movie

[@antoineporche-rideaux4841]

VKunia the difference between gwen and mary jane was that gwen liked peter before he got his spider powers and mary jane only started noticing him after he got his powers

[@hellowhat890]

1:48 Uh if someone wants to correct me if Im wrong... Wasn't it because at the time of Andrew's Spiderman films, Sony had the rights to make Spiderman movies? Tom Holland was cast as the MCU Spiderman and introduced in Civil War because of copyright licensing negotiations right? Even though Tom Holland is part of the main MCU, his Spiderman films are not on Disney Plus with the other Marvel films.

The first TASM has the most underrated Spider-man theme

Great reaction as always Vicky! I always felt that this movie was underrated and I really liked Andrew Garfield's performance in it, Emma Stone does a great job too..... their chemistry was great. In the Andrew Garfield Spider-Man movies, Flash Thompson is portrayed so much better than in the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man's. I thought The Lizard was an interesting choice for Garfield's Spider-Man' first villain (and I agree with you, Dr. Conners is not an evil man). Again, great reaction. Many blessings to you and yours.

In point of fact Denis Leary _was_ a comic before he took up acting. Also, Sony owns the rights to Spider-Man. Back in the day Marvel was in financial trouble, so they sold the rights to certain characters. Fox got the X Men, and the MCU couldn't use the word "mutant," hence "enhanced" humans. It took a lot of log rolling to get Spider-Man into the MCU, but that's probably part of the reason Tom Holland was cast. As you've figured out by now, there's only two Garfield movies, so one more and you can watch No Way Home. I'm not normally the one who insists that you watch 2 or 3 seasons of two different shows just to "really get" a series (The Mandalorian, pointed look), but this is an exception. In many ways No Way Home is as powerful as Endgame.

A quick summary to answer your question I'm the beginning. Sam raimi didn't like the interference from Sony in spider man 3 and 4 script so he left the project. Sony rebooted the series with Andrew Garfield. And amazing spider man 3 was cancelled cause Andrew Garfield got fired for some specific reasons. Sony was just interfering with a lot of stuff. Then people wanted spider man in mcu so they rebooted the character again with a deal with Disney marvel and Sony. And after a few ups and downs behind the scenes here we are.

15:51 they come out of his mind xD like MCU!Peter's. That's how it happened in the comics too. And Spider-Verse. McGuire!Spidey is the outlier.

This and the 2nd film are both extremely underrated and deserve a lot more love. ❤

Funny that you called Gwen's dad a comedian considering the actor playing him, Denis Leary got his start doing stand-up comedy, so that's just an homage to how Leary got his start.

I like how this Spidey MADE his suit, vs Tobey’s, which just “appeared”.

[@i-said-what-i-said]

Isn’t it showed him sewing it? I really don’t remember it’s been a while since I seen the movies but i kinda remember there’s a montage that shows him making it.

[@gregghelmberger]

The best thing about the Garfield Spider-Man flicks is the way they CGId the character -- it looks and feels more like the comics than what was done in the other movies.

[@dudeusmaximus6793]

'Can the kid swim?' Heh heh, your dark humor is excellent.

[@hlopar3138]

Andrew Garfield is my favorite spider-man. i wish they push amazing spider man instead of the new one.

[@DEATH111183]

In the comics, Spiderman's love interest in highschool was Gwen Stacey, up until she dies to which makes Peter a mopey moody mess for a while, till he gets to empire state university and lives on his own, aunt May takes in a roommate to fill the house up and keep her company when Peter isn't around, a woman of similar age range by the name of Anna Watson. Then when Peter is visiting, Anna's niece is going to Pop by to sight see New York to break into modeling, then Peter meets the one woman who makes him a chick magnet for every other woman in his college life, Ms Mary Jane Watson. Also in the comics every iteration of spiderman had mechanical web shooters until the creation of the spiderman 2099 comic series

[@TheYoungDoctor]

Peter didn't meet Gwen until he was in college (where he also first met Harry) Peter dated Betty Brant while he was in high school.

[@DEATH111183]

@@TheYoungDoctor Betty Brant?? You mean the payroll chick at the bugle, aside from Robbie being the only other pro Spiderman person working under the old broom head Triple J himself?? Also Peter and Harry have been friends since they were kids. In college is when they roomed together. And when Peter realizes Harry's odd relationship with his father and the rest of the world. Only rich person he met in college was Felicia Hardy. Who was turbulence incarnate due to her newly rich status, considering the Hardy family wealth being of ill gotten gains, which lead her to become the black cat. Infact, Felicia first got interested in Peter because of her rivalry with MJ.

[@imtriplydead]

*Fyi Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland’s Spiderman don’t have genetic web shooter, they don’t come out from their hands, they make it. What makes Tobey Maguire so special and different is his web shooter comes out from his hands without web shooter maker. Also they show it in the scene from Spiderman: Far from Home, the difference between them*
