Personally I loved the slow burn of Tom’s Spidey. More personal development and allowed me to get invested in not only his world, but his connection to the MCU overall. It was brilliant to give him everything only for it to be taken away (or just given up by him in the end) so that his life can progress. Letting the boy die so the man can live. Brilliant!

[@charsmith8646]

In terms of raw pure acting talent it has to easily go to Andrew Garfield, his performance in hacksaw ridge elevated him to goat status. As an upcoming actor, Tom Holland probably has the biggest potential and is incredible in the role of Spider-Man. Tobey, I’m my opinion, has a good performance in some movies and then not so good performances in others (Spider-Man being a mediocre acting performance). Tobey has a brilliant performance in the film brothers but overall I have to give it to Andrew

[@marveldcmaaz]

I disagree, I always thought Tobey's performance was great as Spider-Man, particularly in the Peter Parker centric scenes he conveyed a lot through his eyes.

@Maaz R. I think Tobey was the best Peter Parker, but Andrew was the best Spider-man

[@lkay398]

@@Mikey-em8hs i think saying this actor was the best this and that actor was the best that is just pure nonsense. It doesn't have anything to do with the actor. People did not like how Garfields spider-man/peter parker was written. It could have been the same character but with holland doing the performance and people would not have liked it. This is something nobody seems to be able to understand. It doesn't necessarilly matter about the actor if the writers write a character people don't like.

1. Tobey maguire: grew up with his movies, he played the perfect nerd but stepped up into a serious hero as well. He did well in emotional scene and his movies seemed to really teach you great life lessons. 2. Andrew Garfield: by far the best actor out of the 3, he showed off the great mix of humor and seriousness, nailed every scene he was in. People complain about his movies but I liked both, only reason I have him at number 2 honestly is because I feel he didn’t get enough time to really show off with only having 2 films. 3. Tom Holland: Tom is a good actor and no way home he finally got to show it but unfortunately, we only see flashes of his real serious side and his movies are way too over the top goofy for me. No way home he nailed every scene he was in but in homecoming and far from home we never got to see him be really serious it’s like the mcu makes everything out to be a comedy.

[@mrj6073]

It baffles me when people think Tom Holland has "potential" for acting. I'm sorry, guy's a natural. Did people miss the "come on spider man" scene, the infinity war death scene and even that moment with Happy in the jet during ffh. Take the entirety of nwh. I think people are too used to tom holland's acting chops that they take it for granted and dismiss it. Guy can deliver expressions and lines so naturally, even has good comedic timing but then again u have to for the MCU.

[@lyc3o5]

Your main complaint for Tom Holland was that he was too goofy yet you put Tobey on top. Like I also think Tobey is really good but you can’t deny his movies are super corny. If you don’t like Spider-Man being goofy then just put Andrew up on top.

[@psfilmz9945]

Nah I dont agree I think it goes Tom because of that ribble scene' and dusting scene, and aunt May's death and him sobbing and that final battle with goblin Andrew because of that gwen death scene, and uncle Ben's death Tobeys last for me because I dont remember one good scene that is emotional I rewatched all three of his movies but his crying face just comes off as a joke to me.

Perfectly encapsulates what it means to be Spider-Man; Charismatic, Nerdy, Witty, Emotive and more.

Tom Holland I always loved Tom’s Spider-Man, but this movie truly brought him to another level with the hardships and struggles he fought through, and he really learned the lessons that Spider-Man is all about, while still being a flawed(As in is human and not perfect) fun character. This entire trilogy has spent the time slowly developing Tom’s character and I really enjoyed that, and how they ended No Way Home.

Like Sean said, I absolutely adore all three but if I had to rank them: 3. Maguire - A perfect rendition of Peter Parker in his first two movies, and IMO still the best encapsulation of the "friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man" aspect, but he lacks Spidey's usual wit and just turns into a bit of an arsehole in the third movie (even BEFORE he gets the black suit) 2. Garfield - A consistently brilliant Spidey, and I'll be bold and say I think his portrayal of both sides of the character in TASM2 is the _single_ greatest rendition of Peter Parker / Spider-Man in any movie to date. His only downside is that he's not quite so believable as a dorky, bottom-of-the-food-chain schoolboy in his first movie 1. Holland - As many have said before, he's a great blend of Peter / Spidey in every movie he's in. There were certainly some downsides to the character to begin with in comparison to the previous two portrayals, but the slow-burn character arc they've been going for has meant he's shown real growth in every movie, and after NWH virtually EVERY common issue people had with his version has either been improved upon or completely fixed

[@OcularAMVs]

@@Beebooks23 I think he's the least comic-book accurate but in the best movies. His suit isn't comic book accurate, neither are his powers, and he doesn't have a lot of on-screen charisma.

[@mavibaso]

@@OcularAMVs yeah, i agree. Tobey isnt comic accurate at all, he’s his own very unique but enjoyable take on the character. Toms Peter is a bit too amateurish and childish. Andrew I’d say, feels like a really good mix of ultimate and 616 Peter

[@Nat_501]

My personal ranking is 1) Tom Holland - He’s always been the one I’ve been able to connect with the most and has had the best character arc from Homecoming to No Way Home. 2) Andrew Garfield - I’ve always liked him as Peter honestly and No Way Home just solidified that, the jokey nature of him and then when it’s an emotional moment you can really feel it. 3) Tobey Maguire - I’ve never been able to connect with him as much as the others I still like his interpretation but just think the others are better.

Spider-Man (2002) was the first ever superhero movie I saw. It was showed to me by my parents when it came on television. I'm born of 2000, and I saw it when I was around 4-5 years old. So while Tobey's films are not the superhero films of my formative years (those are the MCU), I have a lot of nostalgia for Tobey as he was the one that was responsible for the first superhero movie I saw. I have a similar love for Christopher Reeve's Superman (the second superhero film my parents showed me, and I've loved it ever since). These are the only older superhero movies that though their dated, I love them as they were the ones I saw first. My ranking: 1) Tobey Maguire (The Spider-Man I saw first) 2) Tom Holland (technically the Spider-Man of my formative years) 3) Andrew Garfield (I respect, but a lacks a unique selling point)

[@danielvisintainer3352]

I love all the actors, but here is my ranking 1. Andrew: I always liked his Spider-Man the most, always felt like how a high schooler would actually act especially the car jacking scene. While I don’t think he’s Peter is the best, I really enjoy scenes where he’s making his web compound, and I feel like the other two movies have missed out on having scenes like that. He managed to capture that while dealing with something the other two didn’t, a rough script which I elevate him even more for. With equal scripts in NWH he really stole the show out of the three in my opinion. 2. Tobey: He’s the one I grew up with, and definitely the most nostalgic for. I think his Peter is the best and really captures that awkward nerd role, especially at the wrestling fight when you can tell he’s scared asf walking into the cage. I also enjoy his chemistry with MJ and Harry and his playing of the symbote Spider-Man. Although I feel like he was the least interesting in NWH, which isn’t a statement about his acting, it’s more about Tom’s and Andrew’s in that film. 3. Tom: again I love all the Spider-Men, that being said at the moment Tom is last for me. This could change depending on future movies because I really enjoyed his performance in NWH, but he’s just here now because of how much I like the other two.

Personally I got Holland as 1. I like the light hearted and truly highscooler feel he gave especially combined with the fact he still had the hardest and most wild aventures of the three Spider-Man’s bc of the mcu world. Also his youngish looks and real-life/movie mannerisms and behavior are pretty similar giving it that similar feel to how rdj is basically iron man. He has a even better chance to build his character as a “adult” Spider-Man now since he has more movies and a pretty damm good setup to make it happen with how nwh ends.

I absolutely love all 3 of them and my list keeps changing constantly. But if I had to put them in a ranking I’d say: 1. Andrew: his movies may not be the best, but I think in nwh it really showed how good he is with better writing. Despite his movies being very mediocre, I’ve always loved his Spider-Man and thought he was the highlight of his movies. I especially love how in nwh he’s talking about how the death of Gwen affected him, and how he made his redemption by saving MJ. I would really like to see tasm 3 with marvel and Sony partnering up. You can really feel that his Spider-Man has been through a lot, yet he stays optimistic and has smile on his face. From the acting to the personality, this is a character I would love to see more from and one that I really do care about. 2. Tobey: I’ve always thought Tobey made a great Peter. He really captures the awkwardness and certain aspects of his personality. When it comes to Spider-Man, that’s where he kind of drops for me. He has a much more mature take on Spider-Man, so there’s not a lot of quippy jokes. But just the arc that this character has over the 3 movies is what makes up for it. I would say this is the Spider-Man that feels the most like Spider-Man. Of course he’s the OG and there’s a nostalgic factor as well. 3. Tom: just because Tom is last doesn’t mean I don’t love this version. The slow origin over the 3 movies makes me respect the heck out of this trilogy, and Tom starts as a boy, but ends as a man. I love Toms enthusiasm and excitement put into the role, and the only reason he’s not higher is because this is the start of a character, and the other spideys just feel a lot more character and depth right now (imo)

1. Tom Holland - No Way Home illustrated why he is the best Spider-Man. His performance was inspiring and real! Otherwise, he is the most accurate Spider-Man in terms of being a high-schooler! 2. Tobey Maguire - The classic one. His performance is great and he made the Sam Raimi films what they were! Although he is too old for the role, I think he did a great job! Tom just played the character better. His performance in No Way Home was good, but not as memorable as the other two! 3. Andrew Garfield - The best actor to play Spider-Man, but his movies were the weakest series! While he is a great Spider-Man, and his chemistry with Emma Stone is fantastic, his Peter wasn’t great! No Way Home really improved his character! He is one of the highlights. It doesn’t change that they could have done more with his Spider-Man!

Tom Holland(He now has the most experience of all three, and he's perfect as a high schooler and feels much younger than the others. I'd argue that he's become the best of these three actors) 1. Tobey Maguire(The best ever)

[@ahmedbassiouny8456]

I love all 3 of them 03. Tom Holland (He's getting better by every movie he's in 02. Andrew Garfield (He's the best actor who played this character but my only issue with him that he's too good looking to play nerdy peter Parker.. but he was the best spider-man in No way home and i hope Sony with bring him back and Resurrect the TASM franchise 01. Tobey Maguire (most relatable Peter Parker and had the best suit and best swinging sequences)

[@pranavnnair5]

Objectively speaking, Andrew Garfield is the best actor out of the three and is also the most established. He has been in some of the best movies of the 2010s and has worked with the best directors. He has won a Tony award and has been nominated for an oscar. I find it appalling that people are placing him in last place compared to the other actors. This is a ranking of performances not movies.

[@originalcole2989]

This is a ranking about the actor playing Spider-Man, not the actor based off of their other movies.

[@pranavnnair5]

@@originalcole2989 I know. I'm just saying his performance as Spider-Man was the best and he is easily the most established actor out of the 3

[@pranavnnair5]

@The Weavile Again, what does that have to do with his performance? You're criticizing the story, not his acting. I simply said his acting is the best out of the three. Given a better script, he could have been the best.

Worst kept secret in Hollywood was Cavill will not return in Justice League

[@lyc3o5]

Before no way home, I would have put Tobey in first but because NWH I’m having trouble deciding on all three. It made me realize that Andrew really is the best actor to play him, but the way he was written the the Amazing movies was the problem. Then all of my complaints with Tom go away because I realized all 3 movies were an origin story and that was why the first two were so lighthearted and we assumed that uncle Ben had the bigger influence on him but he wasn’t living up to him until we realized aunt may is really his influence to be Spider-Man. So now I just think they are all #1 because of different things.

[@abraham7018]

Nicholas Hammond is the best Spider-Man actor- if you disagree then you're just wrong. On an actual note: 1. Andrew 2. Tom 3. Tobey Edit: This is my ranking of these guys as actors- not Spider-Man.

[@em1tulsa]

Great video as always. I think Disney-Sony-Marvel gave us something we weren't expecting, like a unique gift. You hinted at this, and I think someone else somewhere else said, Tom Holland's character so far has been Spider-Boy. If Tom continues, we'll have the Spider-Man we were expecting.

[@em1tulsa]

In fact, thinking about it further, I never really bought Andrew or Toby as high schoolers. It always felt more like college-aged, 100% throughout all their movies.

[@shanesixx]

I also agree Andrew’s the best actor to play Peter/Spider-Man. He’s more of a realistic grounded Peter Parker tbh

[@SeanChandlerTalksAbout]

Yep

[@jackburke9364]

If they do an amazing Spider-Man 3, I want the plot to not have holes in it.

[@Mohammed-gc1xt]

I Love This Comment Section Everything Is Perfectly Balanced As All Things Should Be, Some Love Andrew, Some Love Tobey, Some Love Tom

[@animationstation1005]

Tobey will always be my favorite. I grew up on that trilogy and I still adore it to this day, and in my eyes he's always been Spider-Man. Sure his movies don't hold up all that well, but like you said he has the most complete arch of them all. I literally cried when I saw him return.

[@frostichops3411]

I grew up loving the original trilogy, but after recently watching it, and it being obvious it’s adults playing kids in the movie kinda takes me out of it. Tom’s and Andrew’s acting is on another level. Also surprised you didn’t add the spider verse characters to this

[@ft811]

For many years my ranking was 3. Tobey Maguire 2. Andrew Garfield 1. Tom Holland But now rewatching all the movies for No Way Home my ranking is: 3. Andrew Garfield: I think it's more good actor to play a character like Peter parker than Tobey but the script that gave him to play is not as good as 2. Tobey Maguire: Years ago I was like He's playing great but he looks like a 30 year old guy. Now I think that back in 2002 was very difficult to find a young actor to play Peter Parker, and I think if they chose Tobey they really know what their doing. I liked all the way from Peter parker how he became Spider-Man and Tobey give as a good performance. 1. Tom Holland: I never hate him otherwise from his first movie Civil War I though his is the best Spider-Man/Peter Parker. The reason is simple Spider-Man always was funny or more like a "kid" and not so powerful like Iron Man etc. So I think Tom Holland give us the best performance as an youngest Peter Parker and in the whole "Home" trilogy we have so many scenes that proove us that he is SPIDER-MAN.

[@izai521]

Mine would have to be 1. Andrew Garfield (I love this version of the character, this was my introduction to the character so of course I’m biased. But I am so excited for the future of this character, he really seems like he could be a really interesting take on the superhero) 2. Tobey (Probably the most Spider-Man like movies) 3. Tom Holland (I really like him as an actor, but I’ve had lots of issues with his take on the character… but with what was set up in No Way Home I’m very hopeful and excited to see a version of the character to grow and possibly become the best)

[@cinemacias]

I agree

[@_el_boynto]

1. Tobey McGuire 2. Tom Holland 3. Andrew Garfield 4. Nicholas Hammond

[@LlamaKingJr]

I respectfully disagree, Andrew Garfield is my favorite spider-man personally. To me, he feels the most realistic out of all the Spider-Men, in the choices he makes to stay with Gwen at the end of the first TASM, and the goofy attitude he brings to the table with all his quips and banter with the villains. Love the list though Sean, great video as always!

[@Beebooks23]

Imo I say tobey is the best

[@landonthompson744]

[@reidrobinson7679]

I’m confused, is this a video of which spider-man has the best story-arch or about which actor portrayals spider-man the best?

[@CA2023.]

1. Tom Holland 2. Tobey Maguire 3. Andrew Garfield

[@Puckett.]

Garfield was betrayed by bad writing and an incomplete story. I feel like if we got that 3rd movie showing his recovery it would have been a much better received trilogy. As great as the Gwen death was, no one wants to end a series on a sad note.

[@daviddemeuse5660]

Let me say it was so great to see all 3 on screen portraying Spider-Man. No matter you’re favorite actor/portrayal, it’s very easy to find joy and excitement in all 3. My favorite is Tobey and I think he’s perfect for the role of Spider-Man and I’m not taking anything away from the other two. I just relate and pull for him in a way I don’t for the other two. Tom Holland would be 2nd for me due to No Way Home, I was finally able to see the character come full circle and the emotion and depth of the character rather than the high school Phase of him. I am truly excited to see where they go next with him if he continues to portray Spider-Man on the big screen. Last but not least is Andrew Garfield, I’m not a fan of this version of Peter Parker, his Spider-Man is fine but ultimately suffers from it in my opinion. I don’t like the “small knives” scene and (unpopular opinion) think it’s not the Spider-Man I know or want to watch. Andrew is a phenomenal actor with incredible talent for making you feel emotions, he was a lot of fun in Spider-Man no way home.

[@RbkARI]

As someone born in 2000, I kind of grew up with all of them. I saw the Raimi movies countless times as a kid and into the present, was 12 when Amazing Spider-Man came out and 16 when Tom Holland's Spider-Man first appeared in the MCU. They all hold a special place in my heart.

[@itsmoshi3908]

3. Tobey Maguire (I didn't really grow up with him as much as everyone else but he's still great) 2. Andrew Garfield 1. Tom Holland

[@GiraffeGuy631]

Here’s my very controversial list: 3. Tobey Maguire. I would probably appreciate him more if I were born earlier. 2. Andrew Garfield. Amazing Peter Parker, train wreck movie. 1. Tom Holland. This is the stuff.

[@tattooedjedi95]

I grew up with the Raimi trilogy so Tobey will always be special to me and Tom did an amazing job in NWH but it's taken until now for him to really feel like Spidey to me. Andrew will always be my favourite! I find him the most relatable, accurate and fun Peter/Spiderman to watch and really hope Sony and Marvel do the right thing and bring him back for as much as possible!!

[@gurkyboi]

I feel as “Spider-Man” and Spider-Man only Andrew is the best by far. As “Peter Parker” and Peter Parker only Toby is the best. Tom isn’t the best at either but is great as both. So Tom is the best overall of the 3.

My Ranking For The Spider-Man Actors Andrew Garfield Tobey Maguire Tom Holland

[@enforcer2007]

My ranking of Spider-Man 1. Andrew: As a kid born in the late 2000's I grow up with him and I think he was played Spider-Man the best and his emotions and comedy is Amazing 2. Tom: He is pretty good but I think he gets carried by the many people helping him out because he is in the MCU, but I think overall he is a good Spider-Man 3. Tobey: He is a weird Spider-Man, he isn't even all that funny. I also don't like how his webs come out of his wrists My ranking of Peter Parker 1. Tobey: He was first Peter so he got to be the "classic" Peter and as Peter, he is funny and has many memorable moments. I think Harry and MJ are pretty good with his Peter 2. Tom: I like his high school life, where the other 2 are in high school for only a bit and I like Ned, MJ and Aunt May bringing a lot and making this Peter pretty good 3. Andrew: He is a ok Peter, I don't like him trying to solve a mystery about his parent but him and Gwen are AMAZING. But I feel like he isn't Peter and I just think he is just some kinda loner and not nerd. Overall I think Andrew is the best followed by Tom then Tobey. I think he deserves a 3rd chance with maybe with a Spider-Man vs Venom?

[@ArjunTalksMovies]

Ok look, I love all three of the Spider-Men so this is really tough for me, so I’m gonna rank them separately as Peter Parker and Spider-Man. Peter Parker 1. Tom Holland 2. Tobey Maguire 3. Andrew Garfield Spider-Man 1. Tom Holland 2. Andrew Garfield 3. Tobey Maguire

[@Usedtobebillie]

I love all three, but Andrew is the best Spider Man hands down, and that's been the talk on twitter after NWH. He stole the film, he embodies everything Spider Man is. People hold his second film against him, but the film is not as bad as some people make it out to be and he was flawless in both. Tobey is the nostalgic choice, Tom is the perfect teenage Spider Man that is learning to become Spider Man.

1. Tom Holland 2. Andrew Garfield 3. Tobey Maguire My ranking has remained the same since I saw Homecoming and No Way Home has definitely solidified it.

[@ashlieivy6940]

@@TheJeremy0626 Yeah I can agree with that somewhat. But, since his mannerisms, line delivery, facial expressions, etc. make the intense fight scenes play like comedies anyways, they might has well have thrown the quintessential spider-man quips in there too. It would have made his spider-man work for me more. Again, if we’re ranking stories or Peter Parkers, I do think that changes things.
