Too bad people say that most (if not all) criticisms this video has towards Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man (by calling the bashers of him as the character "miscast" like every Internet hater that dwelled in their parents' basement there is) instead of the other Spider-Man actors are bullshit.

Although the films arent great and the script was problematic, I don't think I would say Garfield was miscast as Spidey. He was just cast in the wrong spider-man franchise. When I see Peter in Spider-Man PS4, I see the most resemblances to Garfield. They are both more confident around their villains, but still stutter in front of the girl, the physicality in the suit is similar they appear taller and leaner than Holland/Maguire and they dont look traditionally nerdy but they both clearly are smart. I think Garfield could pull off an older and more experienced Spider-Man, and I think the amazing series should have gone in this direction.

i honestly think when people use the argument that andrew garfeilds spider-man is an irresponsible jerk its a dumb argument. At first in the tasm films peter is supposed to be a jerk because of progression. I honestly find it relatable when peter is a jerk because teenagers are not saints. They make mistakes and lash out at their loved ones like peter did with uncle ben. But peter changes during the bridge scene. He turns into the spider-man we all love. There's a really powerful moment when peter saves a kid and bring him back to his father. Even though he was wearing the mask you can tell he was feeling melancholy because he know he won't have this moment with the father figures peter had lost. people usally never talk about this which is sad because the first tasm film did so much right Thats when peter understood Ben's words.

[@rhondahoward8025]

I'm gonna focus on something I actually liked about Garfield's Spider-Man and ConfusedMatthew brought this up: He's truly a _neighborhood friendly_ Spiderman. He actually interacts with the citizens on a personal level and you can get some heartwarming moments. Like when he defends a little boy from some bullies and compliments his wind turbine, even offering to walk him home. Or the boy he pulls out of the burning car. The way he gets him out of it is so much more intimate and inspired than Tobey's detached heroics. The city people are more like props than actual people. Peter didn't really... _talk_ to the people he saved or build a real rapport with them like Andrew did. I'm just saying I liked his more sociable approach.

[@mephostopheles3752]

Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man did *some* talking to the citizens. In Spider-Man 2, there was that scene when he was delivering pizza and he saved the two kids, telling them not to play in the street. It's not much, but you can't say it didn't happen.

[@liamthibodeau5190]

No he wasn’t? He consistently was reckless and let the rhino hit many peoples cars, likely killing a few people. He also went on a revenge spree in the first one to find who killed his uncle which isn’t what Spider-Man does?? He is not neighborhood friendly at all

[@5.A.M_IAM]

It's not what Peter Parker would do... That's a big reason why people, especially fans of the comics like myself, were not impressed by Garfield's Spiderman, and more importantly: Peter Parker. The writers and director couldn't capture *who* Peter Parker was. They were way off the mark.

[@slicknick29]

@@5.A.M_IAM It's exactly what Peter would do. In the 616 he embarrassed Flash in front of everyone by beating him in a boxing match and it wasn't in self defense, he agreed to the fight. Versely he fought Flash in the Ultimate comics ALSO not self defense, he actually challenged Flash and he got satisfaction at the idea of embarrassing Flash. Peter has always gotten arrogant after getting his powers initially. Most of that smugness and arrogance goes away after his "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility" moment but some of that still stays even after. For instance in Peter's college years he's extremely confident and talks to Flash sarcastically all the time.

Did you know that in comics, the first reflex of Peter after having his powers was to rob a bank. He wanted to buy a car to impress a girl at school. He didnt do that because he didnt wanted his uncle and aunt to get in trouble. But after that he stated to doing catch and became a star because he participate at several show and interview. Peter was a nerd who was angry and didnt have one single friend at school ( he only meet Harry Osborn at university). He thought that because the world hasnt been kind to him he didnt have to be a hero. But you know what happen next: the death of uncle Ben. Im writing all this because Im a fan of the comics of Spider man and Im tired of seeing people saying " yeah Andrew Garfield is a lame Peter Parker with his big ego". If you know the real Spider man and not only seen the movies and a few cartoon you know that he is more than a decent Peter Parker.

The Peter Parker of the Raimi movies was far, far more faithful to the character (in writing, acting and appearance) than in the Garfield movies. And note we call the earlier films "the Raimi movies" since they were distinctive in a way the direction in the latter movies were not. As mentioned in the video, even Peter's use of humor was different. In the Stan Lee comics Parker typicallymocks bad guys as a stalling or misdirection tactic, while in a thought balloon he's thinking "I've got to keep him away from the generator, or he'll blow up the city!" Garfield's Peter rags on villians meanly for the heck of it, with no such tactical underside.

I still caught nerdy vibes from him early on, doing research online and spending so much time on his PC. I still agree on him not looking unpopular though. He seemed a little shy and awkward, and his voice always got all jumpy and rambled when he argued with his parents, but he always had good looks and a smug style even before the bite. He was successful. I was okay with that, but you're right to say it isn't a comic book Peter Parker. This wasn't a "awkward kid down on his luck receives powers artificially and his whole life gets turned around" redemption and growth story.

Emma Stone ya mean? Yes, great actress. Also this series had the equation correct for down time to action time. Homecoming was so erratic it's like the writers where kept up on Adderal for the entire duration of penning the script and it was a huge poorly paced mess that I cannot seem to ever finish. I once fell asleep after drinking a half pot of coffee, and just after waking up from a full nights rest, while watching the newest movie. Just painfully boring and poorly acted. Acting feels like a throwback to Tim Burton Batman years with how dialed in it is and how cheesy it comes off. When a Sam Raimi version of what you are doing is much better acted, you are not doing a good job. I like Sam Raimi and his work, just he has that cheesy campy feel with everything he does and Homecoming felt more cardboard than that.

Am I the only one who think Garfield was great as Spiderman? I genuinely enjoyed his performance and the film using Gwen instead of MJ was refreshing to me. That said I really do feel as if, especially the second movie let him down in terms of the story telling they went with. And ultimately I think that's what let the movie down is the overall choices in story telling they went with, and it's such a shame as I really do think that Garfield had the highest sealing of all the spiderman in resent time, yet he was the one who got the worst story and writing of them all.

Basketball scene is the truest form of human emotion, psychologically Peter was bullied all the time, he didn't express his anger, he hid it inside... and this is what happens when people with anxiety gain power... at start they use it against people that hurt them, until they outgrow it understanding that, that puts them bellow the "bully" we never see him bully a classmate again, because he has grown as a person. This is where his uncle's wise words come in "with great power, comes great responsibility" This is why i love everything about the amazing spiderman... sure it isn't right, but it brings life to the scene, it feels true and life like.

[@TheVladMan.]

Andrew Garfield was to Spider-Man what Brandon Routh was to Superman. They were both accurate and underrated versions of the character who deserved another chance and better material. Garfield was sandwiched in between fan favorites like Maguire and Holland, and Routh was sandwiched in between fan favorites like Reeves and Cavill. But that doesn’t mean they were bad, it just means they weren’t utilized to their full potential because they could’ve been as popular as them.

[@HailHydra1001]

That's actually a great comparison. Both really showed off their talent when they came back, and imo both received redemption. Andrew in NWH and Brandon Routh in Crisis on Infinite Earths.

[@smorgastarta4205]

I believe it wasn't Andrew's fault. He's a great actor and played his part well, but the fault should've fall on the writers and Marc Webb. Just as mentioned, many scenes could've been done so much better if the direction was better or different (Marc Webb), and the fact that he was kind of smug and let Rhino destroy an entire street shows that it was the writers. Andrew had so much potential, but the Writers and director did him dirty, and it's so unfortunate that his dream of being Spiderman did come true but being a great Spiderman didn't. Sony should do a deal with Disney that they're able to use Andrew as Spiderman but claim that it's a different dimension, or do a different take on Peter Parker (like Noir, Assassin, Clones, Superior, etc.)

CH3FIVE Easy problem to fix... Just give it a different twist, like how MCU Spiderman has bands and straps around his body, this one could have a bigger emblem with a different style. They could make him with a darker suit and that his "boots" aren't like boots but like sneakers. Kind of like Spiderman PS4, but with a different style of the suit and story. I'm sure people could tell the difference between MCU Spiderman, and this one that would have a much different suit design without actually making it Drastically different like TASM1 design.

One of the biggest changes for Tobey to Garfield is one can shoot his own web while the other needs web canisters.

I did feel bad for Garfield. I remember interviews where he was ecstatic when he got the script for ASM2 and was hoping to bring a more accurate Spider-Man to the screen. He was also pushing hard to join the MCU. Sony wanted something different and interfered again, effectively ending another Spidey universe. Sony tried to scapegoat Garfield and then fired him. He was reportedly devastated. Yes his career picked up a few years later but that was later.

It's probably because TASM was clearly stitched together from leftover ideas from Raimi's future Spider-Man movies. Learning about the secrets of the origin makes so much more sense when the origin was established several movies ago. Curt Conners was already in the first three films.

[@lacrartezorok4975]

I've never seen anything wrong with Andrew Garfield, it was the script what was garbage. They said it was easier and faster to make another origin story than a sequel to the Raimi movies, even if that meant another spider bite and watching uncle Ben death again; for me that means they took the only unused script for the first Spider-Man that didn't featured an already used villain and started filming. Also, uncle Ben and Wen Stacy were supposed to be innocent victims, not morons with a death wish.

[@PhantomSavage]

I think part of the problem is Sony chose to make the Amazing Spider-Man movies tonally and stylistically similar to "Ultimate Spider-Man" which was the main spider-man comic Marvel published throughout the 2000's. That's not to say Ultimate Spider-Man is a bad adaptation of the story or character, but it was departure from a lot of the "classic" traits and tropes that people are familiar with and typically associate with the character... factors such as portraying Peter Parker not so much as a lovable dork as kind of a "cool, techy kid" that kids bullied on occasion, or having a deeper and more prioritized relationship with Gwen Stacy as opposed to Mary Jane. Ultimate Spider-Man was one of many reinventions of the character, and on its own has merit, but I don't think it was a wise decision to draw inspiration from it for the movie version of the character. Ultimate Spider-Man just always lacked some of that friendliness that we all recognize in our friendly neighborhood spider-man, and the Amazing Spider-Man movies similarly have the same issue.

[@TheRealComicStacks]

@ Young Potatoes I am hoping they do a long arc with Tom Holland...have that moment where the character grows from angst riddled teenager to a man that understands what it is to truly be a hero. A man that understands the responsibility that comes with his power, accepts that burden, but would never shrug it off or forsake it. I WANT SPIDER MAN TOO!!

[@joshuabell7761]

Yeah, I really didn't like his smug attitude. I feel like the worst scene in these two films is that sequence between Spider-Man and the Rhino at the beginning of TASM2. I just absolutely hated it that Spider-Man chose to stick to the side of the truck and tell jokes instead of trying to save the people that the Rhino was running over. Guess Peter forgot about that.

@@joshuabell7761 If we use that logic, Batman killed in the Nolan trilogy despite claiming he doesn't kill. In these action films, cars are used as props for action instead of human lives. Plus, a film featuring Peter (known for throwing guilt at himself) would have acknowledged it if people actually died.

[@hiteshk1]

One thing I really like from Amazing Spider-man films is the Suit. The spider-man suit looks very organic and real. It has wrinkles, it flutters when spider-man swings. It feel right. On the other hand, Homecoming and Civil war Spider-man suit looks too tight and unrealistic. It feels very CGI.

[@frozetti434]

I just wanted to get my opinion out there, Andrews role is my favorite. Reason being, he sold the depressed teenager to me. How could you possibly be as happy as Tom Holland's role of Peter, when the whole world is going to shit. Don't you think you'd be at least a little sad and depressed if you were the reason the world was still existing? I rest my case

[@cvox607]

[@mandalorianhunter1]

For me, Garfield used his brain more and learned from his battles then Toby and Tom, which I like about him. I like both Toby and Tom, though Tom's Peter, not willing to learn and adapt is what's holding him back for me to be considered the best.

[@oof-rr5nf]

What makes you think he isn't willing to learn? In what way? Just asking, I did not understand your point.

[@mandalorianhunter1]

@@oof-rr5nf I mean if you watched him in Homecoming and Infinity War, you could see what my point is. Throughout Homecoming, he doesn't adapt to learning how to beat his foes. Even after settling down to learn the ends and outs of his suit, he still didn't think things through when fighting Vulture or the ship part which lead to him losing the suit, though it shows Tony's hipocrisy. He didn't learn anything after he beat Vulture, he didn't learn to be more patient nor how to use his opponent's weakness to his advantage. Infinity War just had him put on his mask infront of traffic and on a bus with cameras. He didn't listen to Tony when he was told to stay earth or else he would be in danger, though he was able to help.

[@creepermineh]

@@mandalorianhunter1 okay, I see what you mean but on the infinity war, not listening to Tony is what makes his character ideal. Peter has or is supposed to have a huge sense of responsibility. Peter Parker would never settle to stay. However, homecoming does ignore the concept a lot until the final scenes. He doesn't feel guilty or any responsibility to much of any of his mistakes. Heck, for his debut in civil war being 6 months ( I think it was) and to maybe the weeks to homecoming, we never see him reflect back to Uncle Ben. Even though all the other versions didn't, you can see that Maguire's Spidey did keep the sense of responsibility of his uncle, you can even see some resentment in the second movie and first. Andrew's Spidey did reflect spidey's sense of guilt better, showcased in the Capt. Stacy dying, Curtis Connor and Uncle Ben. Although, Holland's Peter does represent his age in innocence. No kid really learns the value of their elder's words until a major screw up so Peter may still be finding that meaning to his uncle's phrase. However, we never really see him pondering or have a call back to his uncle. Even the worries of his aunt flipping don't feel like it's worry for her but worry to be prohibited to wear the suit. Maybe we will expand and explore more of this aspects in the "far from home" movie but yeah, those are my cents Also, watcha breakdown video of the fight between doc Ock and Spiderman in Spiderman 2. You will see Toby's Spiderman did learn from his battles far better than even Andrew's.

[@mandalorianhunter1]

@@creepermineh That is not really a sense of responsibility as much as it is him making it a point that if the universe ends or his neighborhood is destroyed then what's the point of him being a hero. I want this because I read the Ultimate comics sense middle school, but I didn't read volume 2 until 2009. In that volume, he tries to go up against kingpin without thinking and he ends up beaten where his idenitity is revealed, but they didn't know who he was so they couldn't do much. Once Peter learned that he shouldn't stop using his brain which lead to him defeating The enforcers, Electro, escaping Kingpin and exposing him to the world. Also I think you meant Civil War lol and yeah that's what I gathered from the movie. Yeah I watched the train sequence anaylsis video and I agree. I love all the Spidey's and I can't wait for Far From Home, can't wait to see Peter and Fury build a relationship together.

[@creepermineh]

@@mandalorianhunter1 yeah, I've read ultimate comics too. That's why I say Tom Holland's Peter doesn't know the weight of his uncle's words yet just how the Peter it's based off of was cocky during his first fights versus kingpin. Yeah I meant civil war lol xD And yeah, I mean, the argument does hold truth. You can't be a hero of a destroyed town. But I feel he also did it out of a sense of responsibility, to contribute to the prevention of extinction than just be a little cure (which he wouldn't have been since he was meant to go poof either way) by helping the locals. He wanted to be an asset since he had power hence the responsibility But it is true, Tom's Spidey still feels fresh and not committed for the right reasons, atleast to me. But he is just starting out and like his ultimate counterpart, he is still at that point of innocence and just exploring the fun aspects of his powers. Maybe...he is still learning to cope with Ben's death hence his lack of reflection and constant avoidance of regular responsibilities and just having fun with his powers while hopefully doing good. It's been only 7 months since someone so close to him died. Maybe he is just coping wrongly and we will see him come to the realization he needs to be be better from the trauma of infinity war

wait wait... but I kinda liked this interpretation... he's not exactly a nerd, although he's nerdy... he's not particularly a hipster, though he is hip.... but he is more of the sarcastic emo loner kid that simply never made many friends. Probably because of his anti-social personality. I think he was written to be more relateable to loner kids these days.... And I know what you mean about the smugness... but also remember he's kinda a broken boy from the loss of his parents, the feeling of responsibility for his uncle's death. He's kinda naturally got a negative outlook on life so it makes sense. The guilt thing in TASM2 was an interesting concept... I just wish they could have ironed it out a little better. Emma and Andrew had AMAZING CHEMISTRY and I loved watching them together. #TeamGwenForever My only issue with the movies was some of the script/plot choices, the actors being too old (set it in college at least), and killing Gwen exactly like in the comics.
