I really love the Spiderman franchise. I love the comics, the merchandise, the video games, and i especially love the movies. If i had to say who was the best Spiderman, i would say Tom Holland because he captured more of an awesome representation of Spiderman than Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. But if i had to choose who was better between Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, i would choose Andrew Garfield. Don't get me wrong. I like the Tobey Maguire Spiderman, but i prefer the Andrew Garfield.

The reason i prefer Andrew Garfield is because even though he looks way too cool and attractive to capture the geeky Peter Parker, he nails it as Spiderman as he well captures the cocky and confident smartass of Spiderman from the comics. And also, Garfield's evolution of being a super hero seems more entertaining and well developed. Garfield also has the cool way of thinking and creating great plans and ideas than he can normally process them, and uses those ideas to for his super hero identity, and to defend the city and it's people from huge threats. And he really does go in a great direction when it comes to going in the direction of becoming a great super hero. He also makes Peter Parker socially awkward enough to make him a decent Peter Parker.

The reason i don't prefer Tobey Maguire over Andrew Garfield as Spiderman is because i really don't admire much of his character development and path following of becoming a super hero compared to Andrew Garfield. Even though Maguire has some pretty badass moments throughout the films, there have also been many moments of him letting his emotions get the best of him, acting like a doofus, and him taking a few steps backwards of becoming a great super hero compared to Garfield who is more likely moving forward than Maguire. Maguire also has those constant times where gets so lost in which direction to turn to, and most super heros that go through development begin to understand the right direction to turn to by now. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but Maguire does that so frequently. And as much as i like the badass action that Maguire can pull off as Spiderman, I don't really admire his dialogue because it's rather corny than awkward. I prefer Spiderman as a huge smartass spewing one liners rather than just so overly emotional and angry and silent in most of his situations, and Garfield pulls that off way better than Maguire. The only i really give Maguire as real perfect credit for is his portrayal as Peter Parker, for he captures the nerdiness better than Garfield does in the first film. Although, he failed to capture his character development of where he grows out of being a geeky and awkward teen.

So even i prefer Tom Holland as the best Spiderman, i prefer Andrew Garfield over Tobey Maguire. And like i said before, i love all of these Spidermans, i just prefer one more than the other.
