Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man was amazing to see for the first time (pun intended heheh)! There was this restless energy about him. A mix of pain, wit, and angst that makes his Spider-Man feel deeply human. Tobey's Peter always felt like a kid carrying the weight of the world, his every step shadowed by duty. He is constantly torn between what he owes to others and what he quietly longs for himself. He embodies the truth that being Spider-Man means giving up nearly everything he holds dear. But Garfield's Peter is steered by love. Love is both his burden and his guiding compass. He still wrestles deeply with grief, loss, and desire, but instead of letting those emotions chain him down, he runs with them. His fight is no less heavy, but it burns with a different kind of fire. One lit by connection, devotion, and the absolute refusal to let love be the cost of being a hero.I actually really love how Garfield's Peter felt more intimate. Tying his origin not just to Uncle Ben's tragedy, but also to the mystery of his parents. It added a huge layer to Spider-Man's lore that I always felt was missing and it made Peter's story feel even more haunted and driven. Then there's Gwen (I LOVE EMMA STONE). Their relationship gave this version of Spider-Man a pulse that felt so real. A love that I wish I got from Tobey's Peter with MJ. Instead of romance being a side note, it became the very center of Peter's choices. And in the end, this version of the story felt like a web spun from equal parts grief and honest love. Pain doesn't hold him back. It pushes him forward. It makes Garfield's Spider-Man feel like one of the most emotionally charged versions because of that.See you all in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 next!

"And I think we all wish we had the courage to stick up for ourselves more, to stick up for a loved one more, or even a stranger that you see being mistreated. And Peter Parker has inspired me to feel stronger. He made me, Andrew, braver, he reassured me that by doing the right thing, it's... it's worth it. It's worth the struggle, it's worth the pain, it's worth even the tears." - Andrew Garfield, SDCC 2011

Jojo Garlin

What I’ll say about Andrew Garfield’s portrayal of Peter Parker is that it catches more of Peter’s hotheaded personality and rebelliousness nature. Comic Peter was a kid with a chip on his shoulder. Raimi’s trilogy Peter Parker was mostly just a good mild mannered kid that made a bad decision and paid for it, which works for the movie. But in the comics Peter didn’t let the robber go to get back at someone who screwed him out of getting paid, in the comics Peter let the robber go because he…just didn’t care. It wasn’t his business, and he ended paying for it. Even after Uncle Ben died Peter didn’t automatically become a hero. He still wanted to perform to make money. The only thing that kept him from doing that was J.Jonah Jameson slandering his name, his first heroic act in saving Jameson’s son was just so he could clear his name and go back to performing (Which backfired because Jameson accused him of sabotage). Even when he went after supervillains it was just so he could take pictures of himself(which is technically fraud) as Spider-Man so he could make money, Peter faked pictures of supervillains, tried to quit when he felt like he couldn’t win, ran away in middle of fighting a supervillain when he was worried about his Aunt May. He was a kid who made bad and selfish decisions, we always understood why but that didn’t make it right. That’s what makes his story special he wasn’t born with a good heart like Steve Rogers he was a troubled kid who learned to put others before himself and always do the right thing no matter how hard it was

(edit) I Like this movie. I just feel like this story could have been much better with a little more focus on what already works in this movie. PLEASE READ ALL BEFORE GETTING ANGRY, BUT I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR OTHER THOUGHTS! To be completely honest, I have always found this movie very disappointing and, honestly, at times just a worse rehashing of the Raimi trilogy, which is honestly so disappointing because I think the original stuff in this movie is fantastic. For instance, Captain Stacy, Gwen, and Peter have absolutely fantastic character and philosophical interactions that are fresh and compelling for this movie. Also, I love Andrew Garfield and think he is an incredible actor, but for me it is always overshadowed by the way they try and redo things in the Raimi trilogy ineffectively. The most obvious example of this is the rewording of the "with great power comes great responsibility" quote into that worse version that feels worse solely to differentiate the movies, which instead could have been a good homage but instead comes off as lazy and cheap. Moreover, while I like the Lizard in this movie, it bothers me how it feels like they are trying to combine characteristics of the Green Goblin (his DID) and Doc Ock (specifically Peter and his scientific relationship) from the Raimi trilogy, but they give neither plot point room to breathe, so neither comes off as compelling. Also, I won’t start on his plan because, come on, yes, it’s so silly, but honestly that never really bothered me too much. Finally, my last grievance: we love when New York has got Spider-Man's back, and I like the idea of people helping Spider-Man after he helped them, but I don't understand why no one points out how pointless the crane thing was. I understand how it is supposed to be sweet, but I can never get over the fact that SPIDERMAN SWINGS ON BUILDINGS. The cranes were so unnecessary; he hurt his leg, yes, so he can't run, but he can already swing off buildings in the movie, and it is literally a straight shot, so moving the cranes over his already straight shot makes no sense. Also, a minor grievance: I think the kid he saves on the bridge did not sell that scene well at all, but he’s a kid, whatever, I guess. Honestly, overall, I think this movie is a lot of wasted potential, which is too bad because, for the most part, with the exception of some of Peter and Gwen's dialogue being a bit annoying (roof scene), everything that this movie tries to do for itself and not as a copy is really great. I’d love to hear if people agree with me or if they are wrong, JK. (edit) I also really enjoyed what they did with Flash in this movie too!

In my eyes, Andrew Garfield is the only Spiderman.

The Amazing Webhead

Good thoughts on this film. Originally, Sam Raimi was gonna do a fourth Tobey Spidey film but couldn’t crack a good script that he left the project and Sony was already ready for a reboot. Andrew Garfield did a great job in the role really showcasing more of the angsty side of the character that both Tobey & Tom didn’t show a lot of. You might be surprised that Peter is actually an hothead. Lol It’s a reason why he prefer to be a lone hero. Also him cracking jokes is a core part of Spider-Man’s character that the other films didn’t show much either. Spidey is meant to wisecrack to annoy his enemies and distract them to think of a strategy to beat them. In the comics, Gwen was Peter’s first love before he got with Mary Jane. The reason the Tobey & Tom films went straight to MJ was because she was the most iconic love interest. Peter & MJ were married for decades too. Gwen’s dad dying did happen in the books but instead of Lizard, it was because of Doctor Octopus. A iconic moment in that comic was before he died, he told Peter he knew he was Spider-Man & told him to take care of Gwen whereas in the film version, he said to have her stay away for her safety.

The Amazing Webhead

The Lizard is a classic Spider-Man enemy. Curt Connors was that professor that appeared in Tobey’s Spider-Man 3 when he was studying the Venom symbiote for Peter. You noticed he didn’t have a right arm there too. Had Sam Raimi continued the Tobey films, we would had Lizard be a villain in a Spider-Man 4 or 5. Him being the villain in this one was a leftover idea from that plan. A downside for the film is in the comics & other interpretations is that Curt has a family that is aware of him turning into The Lizard & would often help Peter cure him every time he transforms. It’s one of the main reasons why Curt was trying to regrow his arm because of his family & why Peter never considers Curt a villain because he isn’t in control of his Lizard side. Peter usually cures him so he can get him back to his family. There was a deleted scene where Curt sees his son which would had humanized him more. Also the whole thing with Peter’s parents is it’s a storyline that isn’t brought up a lot in comics, cartoons, or games. Not to get into spoilers but it seemed like Marvel never viewed that mystery too important. Peter found out about them in the late 60’s comics but after that, they aren’t mentioned much since outside of a comic storyline in the 90’s.

I know I'm in the minority here and I'm okay with that. I grew up having Tobey as my first Spider-Man, but I feel like Andrew executed the perfect Peter and Spider-Man and I will always be a defender of The amazing Spider-Man.

Richard

Great analysis again Kali, you really peeled the layers of the onion back. Another watch I’m behind on but I’ll get there eventually. Life!

Pandrix

Personally these are some of my favorite movies of Spider-Man and Marvel in general, I love the different tonality this version brings also the different aspects they decided to focus on Peter such as his angst and rebellious side. Tobey Maguire: solemn, mythic, heavy-hearted destiny Tom Holland; bright, youthful, embedded in larger universes/mentorship Andrew Garfield: raw, angsty, emotionally exposed the version that makes Spider-Man feel like a young person carrying too much and still trying to be something bigger than their pain Here’s how I would describe all 3. Andrew is my personal favorite Spider Man

Ventena

I think that is limited thinking. I think they all are Spider-Man in their own right. It's not as if the Spider-Man comics you read are the same as the ones everyone else has read. Doesn't make you wrong or them right. There doesn't need to be a definitive Spider-Man; besides, if there were, it would be Peter Parker from 616B (remember, no spoilers for Kali^).

Kristoffer

I cant express enough how much i love these movies, this is literally the movie i always return to, when i need to wind down! Andrew Garfield is by far the best "actor" who has played Spider-Man, i love Tom and Tobey, but Andrew is just a better "actor". Its no secret this is my favourite Spider-Man movie and movies, and i think it boils down to it feeling more real? In a sense. I aways got the feeling that the Tobey Maguire ones were more cartoonish and Toms were obviously part of a bigger Universe so not just Spider-Man, even tho i love their movies too! Andrew Garfields Spider-Man movies is a super hero movie even my Mom really enjoys, and she does not really care for superhero movies at all, and i think it speaks to the brilliance of these movies! Funnily enough these movies did not get appreciated that much when they got released, and i think it is because people just wanted more Tobey, where i think he got his Trilogy and seeing as the last movie he had was a bit of a mess, it was probably best to try something new now! But critics and the audince were not really hot for Andrew Garfields Spider-Man back in the day, and though it has gotten alot more appreciation now in the 2020s, it was probably the reason why he sadly only got 2 movies, and never got the chance to finish HIS trilogy... CANT WAIT for The Amazing Spider-Man 2!

Kristoffer

Buddy you are entitled to your opinion, but they are NOT redoing the Raimi Trilogy, this is Spider-Man, created in the 60s, its gonna resemble eachother Raimi took it from the comics, just as The Amazing Spider-Man took it from the comics too, there is no copying the movie, its copying the comics. Tom didnt do an origin, because it would resemble this too, Peter Parker only has 1 origin as he should have, Uncle Ben dying etc etc.

Kristoffer

The minority yes! But the best opinion out there! The Amazing Spider-Man for life!

TheJoeKerr

It’s crazy that this movie and the first Avengers movie came out the same year! 2012 is recent I don’t care what anyone says (please don’t make me feel old 😂)

Ventena

Dude, All I was saying is that the movie disappointed me because it felt like they were trying to play on what would be familiar Spider-Man tropes for fans, but it felt clumsy because they didn't give time to flesh out the Lizard enough. I am fine with everything they chose to do if it felt like they gave it proper time or better writing. Like they never even made it clear if the Lizard was losing his mind or had a split personality or was just being driven by a mad ego, which wouldn't matter if we weren't supposed to feel bad for him as well. I like ASM but I like it mostly for its potential. But again I never said they felt like they were doing the Raimi Trilogy nor did i wish they did but to me it felt like some studio execs said "Nah, let's do do it more like Spider-Man 1 or 2 with this part or that part " Which we all know Sony has. repeadtly done with every spiderman movie.

M1 Maz

This one is so good! I really love Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man / Peter Parker. And maybe it's just because I think so fondly of him from Hacksaw Ridge haha. Either way, for me this one feels a ton heavier and at times darker than the Tobey trilogy, with some of their more over-the-top comic book vibes. And that's nothing against the first three. I love them for that. But I just really really like how this one flows. Just seeing through Andrew Garfield how Peter becomes Spider-Man and everything that comes with it just hit so hard. The music, especially in the crane scene is so good in this one too! Watching these all back to back, it's been really cool seeing how the story was told in this one. Where we kinda know what's coming at times, but it doesn't take away at all from their impact Emma Stone as Gwen was amazing too! And I really loved the romance arc in this one. Especially with Gwen finding out about Peter's secret so quickly, and the absence of any of Peter's friends, she became his rock (pun intended lol), and I really loved that

Mister Lou

I love how you were like "Hey, it's helicopter guy! From Jurassic World!" but when every time *I see him, I think "it's the Life of Pi guy!" which leads me to assume you haven't seen Life of Pi?

Joe

Great write up of the movie! So glad you enjoyed this one. To me, the original Spider-Man movies (at least the first two) are probably better movies due to Raimi's style, better villains, and JK Simmons. But Andrew Garfield is the better Spider-man, although his Peter is less believable as a social outcast than Tobey. Also, no offense Kirsten Dunst, but Emma Stone played a much better love interest. She had great chemistry with Andrew and wasn't always the damsel in distress. You really believed they had a connection and their choices made sense. Gwen Stacy is such an important comic character and I like that she got her moment to shine in these movies.

AzraRillian

I love that you're loving the Spider-man movies and that you're interested in reading the comics. I'd highly recommend the animated series from 1994. that and the X-men animated show are still regarded as some of the best Marvel products ever. While the animated show wasn't exactly comic accurate in every way, it introduced a lot of things to the Marvel lore that became a staple later, in both the comics and movies. It's also fairly dark in it's themes, especially in later seasons.

Lastboyscout73

When I first heard about this movie and found out they were going over the origin story again, at 1st I thought, what a dumb idea. I waited till it came out on video to watch it and ended up finding it very good. It had a different tone and look to the Tobey movies. I also "fell in love" with Emma Stone in Easy A. She is a very good actor and maybe in October, when you're doing "Spooky season" you could throw Zombieland on your list. Emma Stone is in that of course and it's actually a fun movie. Anyway, the chemistry from both Andrew and Emma felt so real because they started dating in real life for a while, that's why it feels so genuine. I'm glad you enjoyed this incarnation as well and for a bit of fun I will leave a link to a 2 min video that I hope you watch because it is so funny! https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=bad+lip+reading+spider+man BTW: it contains no spoilers for the 2nd movie, so it is safe to watch.

Kristoffer

I do agree they could have done The Lizard more justice, even introducing his family which Conors always has in all adaptation would have improved it tremendously, but i think he is still satisfying as a villian, and is a great first real threat for spider-man.

kaliwali

I love this sooooo so much. I loved how much heart and soul Andrew Garfield put into this Spider-Man role! You could just FEEL all of it. I didn't think anything could top Tobey Maguire's Peter, but here comes Andrew Garfield. Reminding us that you should never give up on love and that every bit of pain, struggle and tears is worth it all. Love that!

kaliwali

I loooove how you laid this out! It shows how layered Peter really is, especially when you look at his comic roots. You're right that Garfield's Peter really leans into that rebellious, hotheaded side! I noticed right away, and I actually really enjoyed it. Very cool to hear that it's actually more accurate to the comics Peter Parker 👀❤️

2026-09-07 13:00 Wow, here we are. I have to admit that this movie is a bit of a weird one for me. Before this was released, I was foreign to the concept of remakes and reboots. I remember thinking that this would be Spider-Man 4 and they just decided to rename it. Once I actually got the gist of what it was, I was very disappointed. But I watched nevertheless. And I just found myself constantly comparing it to the iteration before. I told myself that we were rehashing the same story and less interesting way than before, but I was wrong. Ask do what a lot of things when you grow in life, I have come to love this movie and it's very own way. My qualms within our small and personal. I feel that Andrew Garfield is a cool guy who is pretending to be a nerd. Which I guess that's what acting is, but even as a teenager when it came out I didn't buy it back then, and I still kind of don't buy it now. But I do understand the awkwardness of his Peter Parker. And I can appreciate that. Now the good things that I love about his iteration is Peter and Gwen's chemistry. It is simply unmatched. And I love the way that Spider-Man is portrayed in his movies more than all of the other ones. It feels great. I'm about to get into this reaction, and I hope that you enjoyed yourself. I have one request when you watch the second movie, and that is just to listen to the first song in the credits of that movie. That song is one of my favorite especially when it comes to portraying the struggles of being a superhero. Thank you once again for sharing your reaction with us! I hope that you and the family are well.

Apologies if it's already=t been asked but: Do you intend to watch the two animated Spider-Verse movies as well?

FigLeaf Bicarbonate

I really like this movie but he is partly right about them redoing things. Even Kali through the reaction kept saying how much things reminded her out the Tobey Maguire origin.

KJ

I think The AMS is fine. I appreciate they tried different things, but it doesn't vibe with me the same way as the Tobey & Tom ones. I never actually watched The AMS 2 so it'll be interesting to see if it's as big a mess as a lot of people said (Sony studios were in big trouble until the MCU partnership).

Kristoffer

They cant change Peters origin? They copied the comics, just like Tobey Maguires origin copied the comics?

Robert da Spruce

Nice reaction Kali! I don’t think I’ve watched the two Spider-Man series so close to each other before. It’s interesting to see each actors take on the role. I also like the extra lore we get about Peter Parker’s parents (say that three times fast 😉). And how Peter ended up living with Aunt May and Uncle Ben Also the chemistry between Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone seemed so genuine. I guess that’s why they started dating IRL 😊 Bring on Part 2!

kaliwali

Hey! I totally get where you are coming from and we are always entitled to our own opinions. I think that's one of the main things I love about movies/shows.. They all hit us differently and we can chose to love or hate whoever we want LOL. I really appreciate how you broke all of this down into a super detailed critique! I think you hit the nail on the head with the Peter/Gwen/Captain Stacy dynamics. They genuinely feel fresh and emotionally grounded and Andrew Garfield totally sells it so well! I can also see you frustration with the Lizard and the "great power" line. They were definitely trying to juggle all those Raimi echoes and although I think they landed really well, I can see your opinion of it too! I do have to say I wholeheartedly agree with the crane thing.. Spider-Man has swung on buildings forever to get throughout the streets of NYC but now he needed those cranes to guide his way?? It was also a "wait, why?" moment for me haha. But I just chalked it up to the good people of NYC trying to help in a way they think is helpful. In my eyes, it was a way for the people to give back and a way for Spider-Man to see that the city backs him. It helped pick him up when he was injured and give him that extra boost of motivation that he needed to keep going. But yeah, it did seem a bit silly LOL That said, I do think the movie has these little sparks that I loved too. Flash was way fun, Peter and Gwen's philosophical banters was so great, and Garfield's energy just carried the whole thing so deeply and humanly! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. It's deep dives like this that make me love this space so much and value this community with my whole heart. You all are amazing, and I hope that you never feel shied away from sharing your true emotions here because that's what makes this space so great, to me. ❤️

kaliwali

As always, I love your thoughts and insights on these films! I didn't realize how much Sam Raimi struggled to land a script for a fourth Tobey film. That makes this reboot make a lot of sense. You're so right about Garfield and I felt that too! He really leans into Peter's angsty, hotheaded side in a way that Tobey and Tom did not. The wisecracks are such a great way to portray Spider-Man and to hear that it is super true to his comic book character makes me love it even more! I also love the deeper dive you gave me into comic book Gwen and her dad. It always helps me appreciate the choices made for this movie, even if they did take a few liberties along the way. I'll be going back to rewatch this with those thoughts in mind (My husband hasn't seen these films yet. Not even the Tobey Maguire ones!! So I'll be rewatching with him soon and I can't wait!)

kaliwali

Honestly, I'm with you! Tobey has that true nostalgic first-Spidey charm that I absolutely LOVE. But Garfield really does nail the balance of Peter's angst, humor and heart so well. I can get why you're a defender and I didn't' honestly realize people disliked these films and Garfield's Spidey. We are all entitled to our own thoughts, feelings and that's what makes movies so great! But I think I'm with you and I'll join this Amazing Spider-Man Defender Club! 🤣✨

kaliwali

You broke it down soooo well and I share the same thoughts as you! Each character really brings something different to the role. Garfield's raw, angsty, emotionally exposed Peter really does make you feel the weight he is truly carrying. It's sooo easy to root for him! I can totally see why he is your favorite. He brings a very human side to Spider-Man that makes him feel that much more relatable.

kaliwali

I feel you so much here! There is just something about Garfield's Spider-Man that feels so real. The angst, the emotion, the human side of being a young hero. It hits way differently than Tobey's mythic tone and Tom's child-like adventures. I love that your mom enjoys this one too hehe! It's a huge testament to how grounded and relatable these movies really are. It's crazy to think that these were underappreciated at the time. But I guess people that grew up loving Tobey just couldn't accept another Spider-Man, and that's valid and fine! But honestly, it's so hard NOT to root for Garfield's Spider-Man. I can't wait to dive into the second one!

kaliwali

LOL I said 2012 then looked at my computer date that said 2025 and realized... that was 13 years ago 😱😅

kaliwali

I love this and honestly think I feel the same way. Tobey is my favorite action version, but there was just something so REAL about Garfield's Peter/Spider-Man. I loved it so much and they each hold a special place in my heart. Also, don't tell the MCU but I think Spider-Man is my all time favorite super hero right now... I've loved these movies SO much more than I ever thought I would. I thought nothing could top what I felt in Iron Man, Captain America and the Avengers films. I was wrong haha

kaliwali

Yesss! Andrew Garfield really brings that heavier, more grounded tone. It makes Spider-Man hit in such a different way that Tobey's more action-packed vibe. I love how you pointed out the music in the crane scene because yes! Even though I thought the cranes were a bit silly hehe, the music made that moment beautiful. It made me realize that even if Spider-Man didn't 'need' those cranes, the people of NYC needed him and were doing what they thought was helpful in the moment. And that moment also made Spider-Man/Peter realize the people loved him and needed him to keep fighting the good fight. And Emma Stone as Gwen immediately won my heart. Her chemistry with Peter is so spot on to how I would see two nerds falling in love! And I love that he runs with that love instead of hiding. The way she becomes his true anchor in the story is so beautiful. And I love that you noticed how her role really carries the emotional weight when Peter's friends aren't around. It makes this romance feel truly earned and so real.

kaliwali

LOL no I haven't seen that one! I guess I should add it to my watchlist!

kaliwali

Totally agree! Rami's first two definitely have that unique style. It makes everything feel so iconic and, of course, JK Simmons is totally unforgettable! But yes! Garfield really is a truly 'amazing' Spider-Man hehe. He captures the heart, humor, and angst of Peter so well. And I love what you said about Emma Stone because I feel the same! Their chemistry is so much fun. It makes their love feel so real and relatable.

kaliwali

Ahh yes, I still need to see the 1994 Spider-Man animated series! I feel like that would be a fun ride to get into eventually! I might even attempt to get into the Spider-Man comics before I watch that for the first time. All of the comments here made me really want to check them out, but we'll see. I feel like I never have time to read anymore and I still want to dive deep into the LoTR books this Fall so it might be awhile before I can actually pick up those comics!

kaliwali

I totally get that. Origin story reboots can feel very risky at first, but this one was so well executed in so many ways. The different tone and look definitely set it apart from Tobey's movies. Andrew and Emma's chemistry was absolute chef's kiss! And I actually had no idea they dated in real life but that explains their undeniable chemistry hehe Easy A was a comfort watch for me a couple years ago when I started streaming on Twitch! I remember talking to chat about Emma Stone and how much I loved her vibe and awkward confidence. I'll have to add Zombieland into my spooky season mix for sure now! Thank yo!!

kaliwali

I think... I agree with you hehe

kaliwali

I loooove this take! I totally get the initial disappointment. Reboots can feel tricky and sometimes people get so stuck in loving the originals that it can be hard to see past that original love. I think it can almost feel like cheating to some true fans, which is honestly amazing that a film and character can make us feel that way! But this was... amazing hehe. I love that you have come to appreciate it on it's own terms as well! I get what you mean about Garfield's Peter. But the love between him and Gwen is sooo perfect. And I love that she becomes his guiding compass and anchor in his journey. It makes everything feel so human and relatable. Thanks for the heads up on the Spider-Man 2 credits! I'll listen out for it 👀 And thank you so much for the kind words and being on this journey with me!

kaliwali

Hey, I totally get that! It has a way different vibe than Tobey or Tom's versions. It does feel way more grounded and angsty, which hits differently depending on how you love your Peter/Spider-Man! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on AMS2 when we get there this week!

kaliwali

Thank you! I feel like watching these back-to-back really does highlight the true differences between each actor's Spider-Man/Peter. It can be both good and bad in its own ways haha. And yes, the extra backstory about his parents and how he ends up with Aunt May and Uncle Ben adds so much more to his character! Something I did feel missing from Tobey's storyline. I also wholeheartedly agree about Andrew and Emma's chemistry. So sweet and so genuine! And I had no idea they dated IRL until another comment I responded to on this thread just now! No wonder 😱🤣 See you in Part 2 this week!

Kristoffer

I love that you truly are on a spider-man journey now Kali, even if its still in the future, your considering even the animated shows now! Awesome! And the games too! Spider-Man truly is a great character and i still think my prediction of you having him Number 1 Superhero, is gonna hold!

Ventena

Thank you for your thorough response; I really appreciate hearing other perspectives. That is actually another thing I love about Spider-Man movies. They are so incredibly rich for discourse. because there are so many different takes on Spider-Man, and he means something different to everyone. Also, I was curious if you planned on watching the Spider-Verse movies in between No Way Home (as in, Into the Spider-Verse > No Way Home > Across the Spider-Verse). I understand there is an argument to be made about watching them later to spread out the Spider-Man love. However, I personally would love to hear your thoughts on those movies while you are still fresh in this Spider-Man marathon. It's not the end of the world either way; I am simply curious as to if you already have a plan for those films?
