My opinion : Tom Holland's Spider-Man is the most Spider-Man acting Spider-Man

Now don't get me wrong, all the other love action Spider-men are really really good and my favourite la Spider-man is tobey not tom.

But the way toms Spider-Man acted, he joked during fights he did random stuff that a new teenage Spider-Man would do. Granted he had other superheros in his movies but still.

He did flips when someone asked, helped civilians not just by saving them but also helping them with mundane stuff. That's the most Spider-man thing to do ever.

And now in his 4th movie he would finally be the broke, hurt, alone and depressed Spider-Man we have been yearning for.

I think Tobey was the best Peter and Andrew the best spider man. Nothing about his performance gives “man” to me.

MadAdi_34602025-10-11 05:31

Hes still a teenager, a new bie spiderman and also he had moments where he showed of his powers that surpassed everyone else.

His spider sense in ffh and nwh, the show of strength in homecoming and fluid movements in ffh. Granted andrew was the best with motion and stuff.but stilll I am taking about the overall.

Maybe unpopular opinion:

Tobey, Andrew, and Tom were all good in their own ways, but none of them have truly nailed the character. I have yet to see a live-action performance of the character that made me go, "Yep, that's it. That's exactly how the Spider-Man in the comics would act." I think Andrew came the closest though.

Yea everytime I watch a live action Spider-Man, I have yet to see one that made me go, "That's the one!" They all have had their own interpretations, and they fit the tone of their respective movies, but they all grew on me. I have yet to see one that clicks immediately and puts a smile on my face the moment he puts the suit up on screen.

I think spider-man is a hard one to truly do this for. All of us grew up with spider-man, but which era of spider-man? I was exposed to the clone saga. Then The 60s animation when I was basically a baby. And the 90s animated spider-man.

When I see spider-man. They basically are none of those things I was exposed to about the character.

If anything what influenced me for the character was learning to write and understanding (to the best I can anyway) how tropes and interpretations no longer mean the same thing, today. And how each actor and writer was able to capture a snapshot of culture and forge it into a spider-man.

He needs to be clever, funny, but not preachy. He is always trying to do the right thing, and convince others to as well, but he makes plenty of mistakes, probably more then anyone else.

I say not preachy, because he doesn't tell people how to be, he just tried to help them be better. If he can make someone a tiny bit less awful, he sees it as a victory.

He also refuses to give up on anyone. Ever. Peters the beaten girlfriend, with the violent boyfriend, going "I can change him".

Its the quips for me that are most important though. It's why I favor spectacular over all others. "Oh no .. smile knives .. my weakness .. " with him joking, to him stopping and helping that kid with his science experiment, and fixing it for him. Those are the moments you absolutely need in a Spiderman film.

It's why Spiderman doesn't work so well on the big scale. He doesn't get those one on one interactions that let him shine as a character. All of his best moments are one on one, or in small groups. Him stopping the train, and everyone carrying him in Toby's Spiderman was awesome though. And Garfields Spiderman getting shot in the leg, so the city workers move the cranes lower to get him to the building. All of which still take place in New York.

Him in some giant battle like in endgame just doesn't work the same for him.

Give it a few more years, and an older Spiderman standing up with an iron man, or a Thor, face to face with a thanos, makes more sense. He always gets killed off, or replaced, or something before he gets that big though.

You won't see Spiderman leading the avengers, ever. An older, wiser Spiderman absolutely could, but they'll never do it.

rnnd2025-10-11 23:14

Spider-Man doesn't always try to do the right thing. Well the 1970s one, at least. But he learns from experiences and become a better person.

Bruhimonlyeleven2025-10-12 00:09

He makes mistakes, but he is on the side of the angels.

stick1_2025-10-13 00:27

I think civil war is the closest spiderman on screen has gotten mannerisms wise

Bruhimonlyeleven2025-10-13 00:50

Yeah I was thinking that too. When he grabs Bucky's arm, and then talks about how cool everyhting is.

They haven't showed his intelligence at all really either, besides this. Pete's a genius, and they just have him being confused and out smarter all the time.

Amazing spiderman with Edith would have first asked if there was a way to get money from it. Lol

And the fact that Tony says he hired him for a paid internship, sent him to germanyz and never gave him a dime, is super weird. Then Tony dies without leaving him a dime, and pepper doesn't help them out either. And they shitcan happy, and leave him broke too? Or maybe I'm forgetting, but in the last Spiderman movie happy wasn't working, but in deadpool he was the gatekeeper for the avengers?..

Daniel_Spidey2025-10-14 21:10

Would be interesting to see someone do a breakdown by comics era for where any particular actor is a better fit. I ain’t got time to do anything like that myself, but it would be neat to see.

Direct-Situation-2282025-10-11 14:59

Garfield was the best Spider-Man for my money but he looked 40 in highschool as Peter.

MusicLikeOxygen2025-10-12 17:33

The way I break it down is that Tobey was a great Peter but just a decent Spider-Man, Andrew was a great Spider-Man but not a good Peter, and Tom is great at both.

Direct-Situation-2282025-10-12 23:47

This my take as well but I only give Tom Holland good at both.

I don't think there has been an excellent both yet

marcocom2025-10-11 17:49

Andrew definitely nailed it. Maybe he, and all of them, lacked the comedy side though?
Maybe the next one should be a bit more Deadpool/Reynolds style?

Bruhimonlyeleven2025-10-11 21:26

Garfield's Spiderman is my favorite by far. His Peter Parker wasn't great, but that's the writing.

Garfield's the best actor out of the bunch by far too. If you haven't seen "tick tick boom", you really need to. I don't care for musicals at all, but I wept watching this film.

marvelcomics222025-10-11 06:35

>he would finally be the broke, hurt, alone and depressed Spider-Man we have been yearning for.

And the Spider-Man writers are evil

deadlyghost1232025-10-11 07:12

I completely agree. While my favorite is Andrew (Tom’s movies are better though, I think I just like rooting for the underdog), I think Tom better portrays both Peter Parker and Spider-Man than both the Spider-Man we got.

Andrew was too weird and his romance was lmao weird. I don’t have the words to describe it but you will know what I mean if you rewatch any of his and Gwen’s scenes.

And I just don’t think Tobey is that good at acting honestly in the Raimi movies. Also I just do not like the campy tone of it with the weird transitions.

BatmanForever232025-10-11 12:22

>you will know what I mean if you rewatch any of his and Gwen’s scenes.

I have no clue what you mean. Andrew and Emma had great chemistry and they were believable to me. You're gonna have to do better than 'weird' and 'I don't have the words'.

nyehu092025-10-11 07:17

Haven’t seen him flirt with 2 girls at the same time yet, so nah.

MadAdi_34602025-10-11 07:18

🤪😂

HawkeyeGild2025-10-11 08:13

As the saying goes, Tom isn't the best peer or Spider-Man but he is the best Peter & Spider-Man

Longjumping-Salad4842025-10-11 09:40

great, Tom Holland wearing Spider-Man pajamas crying his face off for an entire movie. I look forward to seeing that.

ZeroSora2025-10-11 09:41

I would disagree. Holland is my favourite live action Spider-Man, but he is far from Spider-Man. He's far too naive. He always seems to not know or understand anything that's happening. To me, Spider-Man is cocky and playful. Tom is more naive and only a little playful.

NazzerDawk2025-10-11 15:59

But I buy him as an authentic human. He is smart, but still a teenager.

skronk612025-10-11 10:32

He doesn’t act like the 90s cartoon Spider-man so I’m not interested

Majestic-Marcus2025-10-11 11:27

Garfield had the worst movies but was the best Spider-Man and Peter Parker.

Holland is second and has the best movies.

Never liked Maguire. But his movies were decent. Always thought he did SM well but his PP was awful. Parker was never the completely socially incompetent and unconfident nerd. The second he got super powers he was a wise cracking and sarcastic charisma beacon. Maguires Parker remains a loser the entire trilogy.

Having said that, middle aged Maguire-Parker was great.

Hippo_in_limbo2025-10-11 12:00

Not at all. Too dumb, not as funny in his quips and way to reliant on outside forces.

Awkward-Speed-40802025-10-11 17:22

I think you're forgetting that Spider-Man has always had a bit of an attitude and is even (at least somewhat) dismissive of authority. No, the way this Spider-Man acted as completely submissive to Tony Stark is absolutely not how Spider-Man behaves. Spider-Man doesn't grovel at the feet of anyone, yet this Spider-Man did.

MadAdi_34602025-10-11 17:39

I think the reason spider man acted that way is because he saw him as his idol. So since he was young and inexperienced, he acted in a way a lot of people would.

TexasPeteEnthusiast2025-10-11 17:37

How badly hurt can he really be if we didn't get to see Uncle Ben die in his arms? We demand Dead Uncle Ben on screen!

MadAdi_34602025-10-11 17:38

I mean uncle Ben is already dead in mcu.his place was taken by aunt may.

MajorNoodles2025-10-12 09:01

The first time we see Peter he's already been Spiderman for 6 months, so Ben still could have died around then. Peter tells Tony that "Look, when you can do the things that I can, but you don't... and then the bad things happen, they happen because of you," so maybe MCU Ben wasn't the most eloquent dude.

Far-Budget4832025-10-11 17:45

I think tobey sounded the most like Spider-Man in No way home.The way he said gross while webbed by Andrew and general demeanour made me look at him as Spider-Man all the more.You could tell that it's a more mature and at peace version of Peter,while at times,getting a glimpse of the Spider-Man we imagine in our minds.

DrGutz2025-10-11 18:21

In 10 years time we are going to see non-stop posts about “am i the only one who thinks Tom Holland was the best spiderman”. I’m just getting ahead of it.

MadAdi_34602025-10-11 18:22

😂

leuno2025-10-11 18:44

I think Andrew was the closest to how I always imagined him in the comics, but Tom is my favorite and wins for overall charm. I can’t help but root for the guy.

Champagnekudo2025-10-11 19:02

Nothing you mentioned in the op is at all unique to tom hollands spider man.

MadAdi_34602025-10-11 19:07

I said it in terms of how it's presented.

Bruhimonlyeleven2025-10-11 21:24

It's a nice opinion. It's the wrong one, but it's a nice one.

Garfield is by far the most Spidermanesque.

But he has had the least amount of on screen time, so Holland's has the most time to showz and change.

bigbrainnowisdom2025-10-12 18:57

I agree, and the credit should also be given to Jon Watts. Imho he has more impact than tom holland (who already has huge influence) with regards to how spidey is being portrayed in MCU.

Oh, also the Russos. As they were the 1st to direct & to set the tone to MCU spidey

AwarenessOk77482025-10-12 19:56

Stop, where did you see a lonely Spider-Man here? Say thank you to the Punisher and the Hulk, the ending of No Way Home was just devalued.
