Who’s the better Spider-Man?

If you think Andrew isn’t the best Spider-Man, you’re just not amazing.

The popular opinion of the “best” Spider-Man usually lands on Tobey Maguire, but recently it’s been Andrew Garfield. 

While Tom Holland and Tobey Maguire had memorable movies, Andrew Garfield stands out for his unique portrayal of Spider-Man. His Spider-Man captured the awkward Peter Parker’s charm and Spider-Man’s “funny” jokes. Andrew Garfield brought a real performance, but he also gave fans a relatable Spider-Man. Andrew is the one and only Amazing Spider-Man.

“It’s Tobey Maguire, He doesn’t need web shooters,” said Jaydn Barker, one of the Spider-Man Fans I interviewed. He mentioned Tobey Maguire stopping the subway train in Spider-Man 2 as proof of his strength. But even he admitted that Andrews’ Suit is better. 

“I like Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man because his villains were nice, and I really like the suit he wore.” Said Ethan Martin. “The backstory and effort Andrew put in were amazing, admitting, “Andrew, like, he’s the best, yeah”.

Jordan Singleton quickly chose his favorite, “Andrew Garfield in The Amazing Spider-Man movies because the movie’s music was cool, and I just like that Spider-Man. He had a rough back story, and that’s what made him such a good person.” When I asked, “Which Spider-Man felt relatable?” He said, “I’ve had parents and close relatives pass away, and that’s just like I can feel that with him.”

Kingston said Tom was the best, but still gave credit to Andrew. “If we are talking about live action, I like Tom Holland. He’s a good Peter, a good Spider-Man. But Andrew is better when it comes to the Action and fighting “scenes”.

So when it comes down to who’s the best, everyone will have their own opinion. But everyone will also look up to Andrew for this role. That’s why he is the only The Amazing Spider-Man.
