Reviewing every Tom Holland Spider-Man movie has been something I've eagerly awaited for this entire Spidey-cember!
Join me on this Spidey-cember as I Totally Not Mark embark on a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Reviewing and reconnecting with the films that sculpted my childhood and young adult life. This week we are tackling director John Watt's Marvel Cinematic Universe Spider-Man as he appears in Captain America: Civil War all the way through the Home Trilogy, culminating with Spider-Man: No Way Home. Do I still not like them? Will they surprise me? Let's see!

Here’s are some suggestions: - Ultimate Spider-Man By Brian Michael Bendis - Amazing Spider-Man By J.

One of my favorite exchanges from NWH that I haven't seen a lot of people mention is after Tom's cured Norman and Andrew comes up and says "Nice catch." And Tom responds "Nice throw."

46:07 That scene is even better when you realize that Willem DaFoe refused to do the movie unless he was allowed to do his own stunts. So when Goblin power drives Spider-man through the floor that is really Willem Dafoe power driving Tom Holland through the floor. That knowledge makes every hit land so much harder, especially in the final battle.

[@ZoomerUnion]

He must have had a stunt double for at least some shots though because when I saw NWH in theaters a third time this past weekend there was someone credited as Willem Dafoe's stunt double (I forget the name of the guy)... So maybe it's more like he was allowed to do as many of his own stunts as possible, but probably not all of them.

Willem is one of my all time favourite actors. Not only because he's just naturally talented at acting, but also because I just love his attitude. More than seeing it as a job, he sees it as a way of helping a director realise their creative vision and bring it to life. He fully dedicates himself to his roles and isn't afraid to step out of his comfort zone and learn entirely new things. There was one movie he did where he plays a painter, and he previously had almost no knowledge of the art form. He had to learn for the movie. I really admire that kind of passion.

[@jwalkin660]

I always liked this version of Spiderman, he was refreshing and fun, realistic in motivation being a child and making dumb decisions that affected him in the long run. And it was perfectly clear, if not easily recognisable, that this Parker wasn't ready for the responsibilities of being Spiderman. That's why people reacted negatively to his portrayal. He wasn't Spiderman yet, he was a young boy trying to be Iron Man, someone he isn't. His 3 films took him through a journey of self discovery, confronting him with the reality of who he is and what his choices in life has lead him to. He grew up and became a hero by self discovery, literally facing 2 versions of himself where he either loses touch with Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) or a Peter Parker that reluctantly becomes Spiderman because he has that responsibility (Tobey Maguire). Both have dark tendencies, discussed on the rooftop, both going in different directions. Holland's Spiderman is the culmination of these struggles and how he realises that "with great power, comes great responsibility" He became Spiderman, because thats who he was meant to be, and his struggles and falls from grace come from, what Dr Strange says, "his desire to live have 2 seperate lives"

[@creamer-1837]

Eyooo i found the comment that dark copied

[@slowfudgeballs9517]

"Because that's who he was meant to be," while it's true every alternative version of peter in the multiverse was basically chosen to be Spider-Man, the appeal of Spider-Man was that he was never supposed to be. Think "It could have bit anyone it just happened to be me." The lesson isn't "live up to fate" it's "you have the responsibility, now go use it." If we did good things only because it's our nature (fate) and not because it's right it looses the everyman factor and it's more about a dude who is good. Not a good character to teach people about responsibility.

I feel some KZbinrs don't give Tom Holland a chance or try to understand what the writers were trying to do - I am a MASSIVE Spiderman comic fan and even though i have some criticisms of Hollands Spiderman but i love the different take of the hero being mixed into the MCU and now (SPOILERS from this point from people who havent seen NWH yet) It's awesome now we are going to get a Peter Parker that we all know from the Comics now - crappy apartment - made his suit himself - and his secret identity is back....cant wait for Holland to smash this again!

[@DayvonR64]

One of the things that I'm upset took me so long to realize is the detail that MCU Spider-man has on it's background. A lot of people credit the Raimi films for making New York it's own character and wishing that MCU Spider-man films did the same. However, I realize that they did that very thing....but with his school. His classmates, school setting, and general vibe of being a teenager all feels so rooted in his films. We know a lot of his classmates, we grew up with them. The other versions of Spider-man made his High School life feel like a jumping off point, an obstacle to get rid of as soon as his hero journey began. MCU Spider-man kinda embraces it and makes his school a character with all of the colorful people. It just makes me love it even more.

[@bijoybiswas1932]

Exactly. In those movies after the first few minutes I just forget about Peter's school life. He seems like an adult.

[@JyanDagdagan]

@@bijoybiswas1932 i agree. i think Tobey's was really meant to be as a young adult. a college student having personal struggles. Adrew was a high school student the whole first film but i think thats what im looking for for the ASM films, a take on his personal life w/o the mask i guess. after graduating from high school andrew's wasnt working neither studying. idk hehe

[@eugeniamarch]

EXACTLY. as a sixteen years old watching homecoming for the first time i was SO in love with the way they captured the teenage aspect of Peter's character and his school life, it felt SO genuine, so freaking real. Tobey's movies jumped out of highschool very quick, and even when it was about school it felt unrealistic, almost like a caricature. Andrew's school was okay but again there was so little of it, plus all the characters from the highschool felt way too old to be there. But Tom's school is one of the hearts of his films. His movies were the first Spiderman movies I've seen, and I've watched them while binge watching MCU, and man was he a breeze of fresh air, after all these adult characters, finally a younger, naive soul being at the center of events. Looking at that kid, i feel like the term "Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman" was literally written about him. While Tobey's and Andrew's spideys are the main superheroes of their universes, Tom's universe already _has_ its heroes, who already explored so many aspects of superheroes, to the point that Tom now doesn't need to be that. instead he can be a _teenage_ superhero, a relatable kid with his own, smaller life, the Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman. and that's why i think Tom's franchise works PERFECT for what it needs to be - a Spiderman *in the MCU* .

[@diannajennings266]

The naysayers always forget how young Toms Spiderman still is. Thry want him act as an adult but that's not fair

[@TheKingOfRooks]

And now there's a chance for him to be a more New York centric Spider-Man. I'd love to see him take on Kingpin and team up with Daredevil at some point.

[@feesh6597]

"When you the things that I can do, but you don't, and then the bad things happen, they happen because of you." I like to think that this line affected Tony in endgame, as strange reminds him of the chances, and if he didn't act like he did in the movie, they could've gone back to square one or maybe even worse. Tony didn't risk to go for the stones because he should've, it's because he COULD'VE.

[@slowfudgeballs9517]

This is a really cool way of thinking about that scene. I'm 100% that line affected him because he already thought the same when he picked up Spider-Man (the crux of the Accords). Not sure if that specific line went through his head but that same line of thought certainly did. It's likely line was at least part of the reasons he gave up everything for the stones.

Holland also started a much younger age. McGuire and Garfield were in their late 20s for their film, Holland was only just turning 20 when Civil War released

[@SGCentral]

After No Way Home, I think Tom Holland's my favorite live-action Spider-Man. His relationship with Tony Stark is a positive that I never understood the hate for. Spider-Man has always had mentors he's looked up. Since we know so much about Iron Man, having Tony introduce him works well for both characters. And the fact that in every Spider-Man move they made sure to showcase Peter relying on his abilities, powers and judgement versus Stark Tech really drove home the point that no matter what suit he wore or what tech he has, he'll get the job done the best way he knows how. I appreciate everything Tobey McGuire and Andrew Garfield brought to the table and I really do want to see Andrew Garfield get a better script for his rumored 3rd film, but I was never as excited for the future of Spider-Man with Garfield and McGuire the way I was when Mysterio revealed his identity and Dr. Strange erased his identity from the world. Being attached to the MCU has been a massive improvement for the character because he's always been in a world where other heroes exist, and in the midst of that he's still unique. Sony and Marvel can do anything with the character now and I'm looking forward to what comes next.

If anything, Peter struggling with responsibility is exactly what makes it a good Spider-Man story. It shows that he's flawed and just your average teenager underneath the mask. It's part of what makes them relatable and human. In the case of Spider-Man 2 he wants to let go of Spider-Man and focus on Peter Parker, while in Far From Home he basically wants to take time to enjoy being himself (a very reasonable and relatable motive imo). I'll agree that they could have handled Aunt May better in the MCU, but I don't fault them too hard for it since it just wasn't part of the story that they wanted to tell.

I love how they want to tell MCU's Spiderman story in two separate trilogies... they didn't give his spiderman half of the first film for his origin story, but a whole trilogy and i loved it , now i can't wait to see the real and more mature Spiderman that we saw in no way home during the next trilogy ..and don't forget the animated series "Spiderman freshman year" where we will probably see how this peter parker was bitten by the spider and how he became spiderman in this universe!

I would agree had this arc been planned from the start, but it wasn't, NWH went through a lot of rewrites and you can even notice there's a sudden shift in direction bc the plotline of the secret identity set in FFH is immediatly resolved, minimized and largely ignored in NWH, from the moment the villains start showing up it feels like a different movie bc that's probably what happened during the development of the script.

[@timedragon5492]

Despite growing up with Tobey, Tom has always been my favorite live-action Spider-man, due in no small part to when they came out. I was just starting High School when Homecoming was released and I saw No Way Home right after my first semester of college. Seeing this Peter starts out with so much energy and confidence, seemingly so sure about what he wants to do in life at such a young age. "I am so far beyond High School, right now." How many of us felt like this before? Felt so certain with what we wanted to do with our lives that we just wanted to skip over the rest of High School? But with each movie, Peter makes mistake after mistake causing harm to not only himself but those around him. We see Peter's confidence torn to the ground as anxiety and self-doubt flood his mind. He no longer wants to be an Avenger, he's not even sure if he can be Spider-man. And in that dark place of self-deprecation and inability to see his own self-worth, he makes his greatest mistake yet and gives EDITH to Mysterio. And every event culminates in No Way Home so perfectly. Peter sees his life as broken beyond repair and so he desperately wants his life to go back to the way it was. He denies any form of change and wishes everything to go back to a simpler time when he was younger. There's a reason why he went to Strange first instead of the more practical solution of talking to MIT directly, beyond 'he forgot'. He subconsciously wanted everything to go back to the way it was. How many of us have wished for everything to revert back to a simpler-more nostalgic- time, ESPECIALLY in our first years of college when we were expecting the biggest changes in our lives. Peter's clinging to the past backfires on him spectacularly. He quite literally loses everything about his old life and is forced to start over with a clean slate. But in the end, he accepts the change and swings off into a new chapter in his life. Seeing Peter's journey into adulthood was amazing. Homecoming taught him to value what he has at the moment. Far From Home to never let his insecurities get in the way of doing what's right by others and by himself. And No Way Home taught him to embrace change. As a teenager suffering through High School with ADHD and depression, seeing a high-energy and talkative Spider-man struggle with their own self-doubts and making actual genuine mistakes that impacted him and his loved ones, that was just so much more intensely relatable than anything else I've ever seen in a Superhero movie.

[@kin4386]

Something I personally loved about No Way Home is how it dealt with comparing the Spider-Men to each other. Specifically in the scene where they're directly comparing their achievements to each other. In response to hearing Tobey and Tom's grand adventures, Andrew starts to think less of himself. He thinks he's lame. To which Tobey immediately responds by basically telling him to shut up and stop being so hard on himself. And that's what this movie was trying to say to the viewers when all of them were on screen together. It's them saying it doesn't matter. Whether you liked one over the other doesn't objectively mean the other is bad. They're all great. They're all heroes. They're all "Amazing". *Wink*

Andrew has the best relationship story for sure and Tom does the best at being both Peter and Spider-Man. I recall people saying Tom looked too good to be nerdy and be an outcast but a lot of nerdy people are good looking or a lot of good looking people don’t have a lot of social skills.

One thing that upsets me about the "Iron Boy Jr." claims is that Peter's journey is all about growing on his own. The complaint that he uses Stark tech is strange to me. Imagine a story of a blacksmith and his apprentice. The blacksmith made himself famous by crafting weapons, until he was forced to craft weapons for his enemies. So, he crafts a suit of armor to defy them and later to protect and fight for the innocent. Over the years, he faces many challenges and ups and downs because of his forging skills. Eventually, he meets a young boy looking to prove himself, so he takes him under his wing, teaching him and granting the apprentice a suit of his own. The boy wishes to be like the blacksmith, but his skills differ greatly. After the blacksmith gives his life for the good of all, the young apprentice is left with the forge of his late teacher. He comes learn an important lesson about making his own weapons and does just that, using the forge left for him by his teacher. With it, he crafts his own armor and weapons to carry on the good fight. When Peter makes a suit in Far From Home, he doesn't make an Iron Man suit or even an Iron-Spider suit. He makes a Spider-Man suit! He defeats Beck with his Spidey Sense. He literally destroys Stark’s drones. The movie could not make it more clear that Peter is not Iron Boy Jr.. I find it upsetting that people don't consider that.

Having everything be given to him by others is ridiculous. It’s more in tune with Miles’s chracter than Peter.

His journey through the MCU was handled really well and with it essentially serving as one big origin story it felt unique and felt satisfying. From him choosing to do the right thing while sacrificing what he wants, to accepting that the people he looks up to are not perfect and to him becoming his own person and starting a new, this version of Spider-Man made reminded me of what I have gone through in my life and made me love these films even more.

Now he gets to return to Berserk and Naruto, where he will no doubt experience several emotional gut-punches from both series.

[@smashmaster521]

@@Blackhawk211 TWO certain important character deaths that kick off two of the best arcs in the series, you mean. Seriously, everyone sings the praises of the Invasion of Pain Arc (and I won't deny it's a good arc), but the Kage Summit Arc is one of my favorite arcs despite being the source of some rather infamous moments in the story, especially Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3's take on that particular arc.

Honestly this dude spent 50 mins saying the same thing over and over again. He basically gave no critical comments it’s pretty stupid. Like the movies good but bruh he literally didn’t say a single thing that he found bad with the movie. Like he spent 50 mins literally just praising the movie. I love the movie but by no means are these perfect at all

[@sh4dow229]

@@larrythecableman6963 I mean he didn't even criticize the Tobey Maguire series on his review too, even the Andrew Garfield series. He just only bring up of how every version of Spider-Man in live action has their own uniqueness of what makes them great, and what the writers were trying to do with their Peter Parker/Spider-Man.

[@traddcooper]

Another banger as usual. Thanks for the in depth, meaningful, powerful analysis Mark. It’s weird how I often love works like the marvel and spiderman films for so many reasons but seeing someone break them down like you do helps me understand even more why I love the things I do and what they mean to me.

[@Aether_GM]

I hope you're doing alright. I know things are still rough and respect you for keeping on doing your thing. May this somehow open an even bigger door for you

[@krowking123]

These are some of my favorite videos that you’ve ever done Mark, I think I speak for a lot of people that say we are so glad your back and hope you and your team can grow back stronger than before in the face of adversity!!!

[@Exidel]

As unorthodox as it would be, while you're covering Spider-Man stories, I'd love for you to tackle the story of Marvel's Spider-Man PS4 because it's overall story is just as good as any of the movies

[@koteshima6682]

Spider-Man has always been and always will be my favorite superhero. As a kid, I have loved Tobey's trilogy so much, despite some of its flaws in its final movie, and seeing how Andrew give his own portrayal was indeed amazing, just disappointed that they crammed so much crap into the sequel, but if they hadn't failed that, maybe we would not be seeing Tom Holland's very accurate and fun portrayal of Spider-Man in the MCU. Seeing all of these generation of Spider-Men culminate into NWH was the best cinematic experience I've witnessed so far.

[@KaiIzuki]

In my opinion, the Home trilogy weren't Spider-Man movies. They were, in fact one, long Origin story. At the end of No Way Home. He is, undeniable, Spider-Man.

[@dylandrake2442]

Thankyou for the high quality of work as always. The fact you would never tell the turmoil you and your staff have been enduring through your work is astounding. Thankyou for the countless hours of entertainment and a true sense of company that comes from your videos. Onwards and upwards. All I know is that I love YOU, and your style of content, and you could cover any media in this style and I would be here for all of it. Your continued effort is so appreciated

Literally just paused the video at him covering No Way Home, went to the local theater to watch the movie myself, and came back to finish the video. Best decision this year, so far.

[@gokuuzumaki8307]

Now I do want to see you review every other MCU film.

[@JyanDagdagan]

what i really liked about Holland's first trilogy is that we get to see a younger Peter who's age is closer to the comics. he was able to portray a highschool teenager that we didnt get to see in the first two franchises (specially Tobey's since he played a college era one).. Tom's origin story is far stretched that even the first two spiderman is part of the process, and i loved that.

[@the10tails1]

Mad respect for the shoutout to Implicitly Pretentious! That man deserves tons more views for some of the most in-depth, open-minded, yet critical analysts and essays on Spider-Man.

[@skylinegtr3454]

This is honestly the BEST view and review on Tom's or even the other views on Spider-Man, they are all different with situations and lives yet they all go through pain and loss and they still do the right thing, Toms origin story is still a very aamzing narritive and not having an origin story in one fill and having it through a series of 6 films with on screen relationships and interations and what the future holds will be amazing.

[@jeremyholley2978]

Thank you, Mark! I loved this entire Spidey series. I did not have time to rewatch all of the movies before NWH, but I definitely plan to do so with a fresh perspective. I was lukewarm on the Amazing Sipeer-Man movies, but Andrew’s performance in NWH had so much heart…it made me want to give them another shot. I really do hope that Sony finds a way to get that version of Spidey back onto screen.

[@jeffholy872]

What a video trilogy, I loved them all! Great job Mark! I wish more people had your opinions if I'm being honest haha cause too many people argue over these characters and they don't see the great in all of them which is upsetting but hopefully over the years especially after NWH people will realize how great all of them are, no more "Tobey had the best Peter, Andrew had the best Spider-Man and Tom has the best of both worlds" type of stuff and more of "I LOVE THEM ALL!" because thats probably what the attitude should be. Thank you Mark for making these wonderful videos, and possibly giving some new perspectives on the other Spider-Men!

I’m really glad I found your Spider-Man videos.

[@aron1089]

I love how the trio is basically Peter’s origin to fully becoming Spider-man and slowly using his own abilities rather than depending on Tony and his tech. God i love your reviews so much

[@antoniocarbajal6248]

This rendition of the wall crawler is actually quite great, the thing that harm the perception of him is the fact that his movies were so far apart, so if one of them explores a part of spiderman you don't find particularly interested you are s.o.o.l. wait until the next one; whereas the other two sagas by the end of the first movie we got a fully fledged, heroic Spiderman. This trilogy was a slow burn and a realistic one within the universe it develops.
