IT IS TIME :D Time to watch a million Spider-Man movies! I will be watching all five movies before watching the latest one, but I'll mix up some other Marvels (Eternals, Hawkeye) in between too :). Enjoy!

I would also recommend watching the two Venom movies and a few episodes of Daredevil before No Way Home.

It is Marvel, but it was released before the MCU existed, and was not a part of the continuity developed for the MCU.

I prefer Tom Holland's version, despite being there for these versions and the Andrew Garfield versions when they were released. I just never got past this version's flaws - for example, the decision to go with organic web shooters and the adults-playing-teenagers. That said, Tobey's version definitely has its place in cinematic history, and deserves the credit it gets for helping establish the modern blockbuster superhero movie's viability.

With great reactions comes great responsibility.

Toby was my Spider-Man up until Tom showed up in Civil War. Andrew was not bad and I liked some elements of what they were trying to do with him, but Tom hit all of the right notes for me. This movie still looked pretty good and the special effects did not look that bad considering they are 20 years old. It was fun revisiting this one and I look forward to watching Spider-Man 2 with you soon.

I honestly have no problem with the organic web shooters. Kinda takes away from him creating his own, which nerfs his intelligence in a way that I get is a bit of a bummer, but thematically it makes sense; like how Jack Napier killed Bruce's parents in Batman '89. The adults-playing-teenagers though is... yeah, it's so stupid. And the voice-over is pretty dated. Other than that though, I think 1 and 2 really hold up pretty well. Like the first two Superman movies, they're flawed but there's enough good-to-great stuff that it's overall pretty enjoyable.

I think the MCU definitely got more Peter stuff right than Raimi's, but the whole "Iron Man as mentor" was such a sour note to me. Tony's a selfish, arrogant asshole who is constantly fucking up. I hate that Pete looked up to him; they tried so hard to make Pete a young Tony that they gave him the line "I'm nothing without the suit" which is just... not a line that makes sense when you give it to the wrong character.

I don't know, it was an interesting angle and I think it also was a good catalyst of growth for Tony. I don't want to speak too much more until Mary gets caught up on No Way Home.

I'm a 90's kid. As much as I love Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire will always be Spiderman for me. And im glad you're watching everything before no way home. Because you need to, to understand all the references

Jack the Narrator

I'm so glad you're getting to experience these previous Spider-Man stories. The first Tobey Maguire SPIDER-MAN holds a particular place in my heart as it debuted during the end of my sophomore year in high school and could most definitely identify with Peter Parker and his personal woes both pre and post spider bite (minus the superpowers, of course). Also, as a burgeoning film buff, the original SPIDER-MAN trilogy brought the works of director Sam Raimi to my immediate attention. Most of Raimi's films have an overt stylized presentation, but with a real heart & soul at their core that gives them an exhilarating arch cinematic tone.

Tyler Foster

I am surprised nobody mentioned that Sam Raimi, the director of the three Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movies, has just joined the MCU himself, directing the new Doctor Strange movie that comes out in a couple of weeks after almost a decade away from feature filmmaking. For me, this makes that movie one of the most exciting MCU movies in a long time. I do not know how well you would do with his most famous movies, the Evil Dead trilogy, but I think you would probably enjoy and get to know his style after seeing these and then maybe checking out Darkman and The Quick and the Dead. You could also watch just the third Evil Dead movie, Army of Darkness, which is not nearly as graphically violent as the other two, although I also think it's the weakest of the trilogy.

Tony is selfish and arrogant but I still think the arc worked well enough. Even though Homecoming is my second least-favorite Spider-Man (not bad -- the only truly BAD one is The Amazing Spider-Man 1), I did appreciate that the lessons Tony imparts to Peter in that movie are the lessons that Tony himself had to learn in Iron Man 3 (my favorite MCU movie by a country mile). I also agree with David that No Way Home puts a nice bow on the Tony-as-mentor arc, even if going into that should wait until Mary has actually seen NWH.

Tyler Foster

I know it is important for you to spread these out to avoid burnout on Spider-Man stuff but hopefully the gaps are between the different iterations (like you'll do 1-2-3 in a group and then ASM 1-2 in a group), because I can't wait for see the video for Spider-Man 2.

Jason Johnson

I would suggest that you mix in the “Daredevil” show while doing your Spider-Man journey. In fact, before you even start Hawkeye.

Eric

I mean, Tom Holland is a better Peter/Spiderman because he's better cast for the role (agewise; Maguiderman was, what, 30? Playing a high schooler? It's a bit silly). But even moreso, despite my objections to some of the elements of Spiderman in the MCU, it's just definitely better material. The Maguire/Raimi Spiderman movies were important, there's definitely good stuff in there - especially the 2nd one - but... you know, the MCU came a decade or two later. They're getting better at it. But yeah, the first two are quite good; the MCU not going over the Uncle Ben death origin meant that it was fresh for you in the Raimi Spidey, so that's cool. The Garfield/Amazing are both pretty weak though. The 2nd especially, over-stuffed with ideas, but a big part of the problem with the first one is maybe not so much that it's a bad movie as it's a bad *Spiderman* movie, so... I expect you to at least enjoy the next one, and hopefully you'll get something out of the next 3 after that, even if they aren't quite as good cover-to-cover.

And you say the thing about how the special effects hold up BUT... and yeah. I think it's a big help that Raimi doesn't take himself too seriously; it's not trying to be, like, a gritty dark movie, it's okay with being a bit campy. And I think it works. So yeah, it's not a masterpiece, but it's fun and it does a pretty good job of finding the right tone for a Spiderman movie.

I think the only essential episode of the Daredevil TV show would be the pilot, just the first episode. It is not only a great superhero origin story, it establishes the character, and is also a great legal procedural TV show episode!

Mike LL

This is a great reaction as I play catch up with your Patreon, Mary. This was a very important movie when it came out, it not only was a super successful superhero movie, but it was the first superhero movie that had very successful CGI effects. I can still remember the day I went to see it in the theater, first showing on on 0pening day, the theater I saw it in, and how sick I was at the time (I really should have been in the hospital). This movie is kind of dated today, but even with the chessiness of some of the story, the movie got quite a lot right with the Spider-Man story and the origin. In Peter's first movie in the MCU, Civil War, Tony asks Peter when he first meets him why he is doing what he is doing. Peter says, "Because I've been me my whole life, I've had these powers for six months . . . When you can do the things that I can, but you don't, and then the bad things happen, they happen because of you." That was Peter talking about the lesson he learned from his Uncle Ben as shown in this movie.
