          Tobey is the best Spider-Man by far. I don't know what some people are smoking. He captured the struggling nerd part who has a hard time coinciding his superhero life to his personal one. Tom Holland is just shit and Garfield was way too wienery and popular to be Peter

            >Tobey has trouble living two lives
            Have you not seen no Way Home? That's like the biggest theme in the movie. Though unlike Tobey, Tom actually had to choose one. I'm not saying that's better than Tobey though. It just works different in Tom's movies.

              I've only watched civil war and the first Holland movie (Homecoming I think). He's garbage because:
              1. The Marvelesque shitty slapstick comedy that ruins every moment and stakes in the movie. Obviously not his fault, but those are the types of movies Disney's Marvel does.
              2. The fact that he got bullied by a fat Pajeet even thoug he looks infinitely more handsome and popular than him. Utterly ridiculous and unrealistic.
              3. And probably the most important of all - he doesn't struggle at all. Everything is simply handed to him via Stark tech and whatever the hell not. There's no real use of intelligence or sense of struggle which is the defining trait of Peter. He just gets handed everything, uncle Ben doesn't matter and his aunt is like some hot milf.

              He's nerdy but in the funny slapstick comedy way, like you're supposed to be laughing at him won his predicament, not in "hey, this guy is struggling".

                There wasn't that much of that. Only time was when he was fighting Falcon and Bucky. His other fights were fricking brutal. Cap nearly caved his face in with that shield. And Vulture buried him under rubble and Peter legit thought he was going to die and started begging for his life at first.
                >bad because it's unrealistic
                First of all that's bullshit because it's a superhero story. It will never be realistic. Second of all that specific thing isn't unrealistic because 1) Flash isn't that ugly, 2) Peter has a history of being a lame nerd for years before this, 3) Flash was funny (to them). You don't instantly erase years of nerdiness, even if you one day become a chad. Plus I'm sure Peter hides his muscles.

                And all of this is stuff that's unique to him. All of the struggles that Tobey ever had, Tom also did. The only thing you can name is that Tobey made his own suit, and Tom did that too. Many times in fact. Even without stark oney or technology he has made two homemade suits. And with Stark's shit he still mad ehis own. And doesn't even really use any of the gadget Stark put in the suit outside of the first movie. In fact he beats Doctor Strange with nothing but his powers and his webshooters which Tom did indeed invent.
                Tom has to make MORE sacrifices than Tobey even because Tobey eventually figured out how to balance his two lives by the time of Spider-man 3, and in no way home he says he managed to work things out with MJ as well.

                The entirety of your posts here are MCU apologist bullshit, but I'm just gonna focus in on one specific point:
                >And Vulture buried him under rubble and Peter legit thought he was going to die and started begging for his life at first.
                This scene is a bastardisation of one of the greatest moments in Spider-Man's history, and possibly comics as a whole.
                In the comic (ASM #33, since I'm assume you don't know) Spider-Man is trapped under tons of steel in an underwater base about to flood. If he can't get out, he drowns. He has already beaten Doc Ock – but is trapped directly as a result of his victory. The reason he's in this situation is because he has been desperately searching for a specific cure needed for his Aunt May, who's hanging by a thread in the hospital. Not only is his own life in imminent danger, but so is the life of the woman who raised him. Over 5 pages, he thinks on why he's there, comes to the brink of despair, remembers his aunt and uncle, but pushes through it all and finally lifts the weight off himself in a feat of great physical strength.
                In Homecoming, Spider-Man is stuck under the rubble for about a minute and a half. He's there because he went to confront the Vulture and walked right into a trap. He finds the willpower to lift the rubble because he recalls a line of inspiration from RDJ's Iron Man. His life is not in immediate danger. In fact, nobody's life hangs in the balance. The only danger is Iron Man's property being stolen. It is a cheap imitation.
                The vast emotional/contextual discrepancy here is a microcosm of the fundamental problem with the MCU Spider-Man. They pay lip service to classic visuals they don't understand and rely on guest stars and multiverse cameos, all because they cannot be bothered to do the hard work of actually establishing their "new" version of Spider-Man. They only use what has already worked elsewhere, because they have neither the will or talent to make their film stand on its own.

                I thought you were mad about it being too different from classic Peter? also I already knew about this comic. It's not relevant to this discussion though.
                >not only is his own life in danger, but so is aunt may's
                Just like in the movie, wow.
                >takes five pages to explain everything that's going on inside his head
                Yeah it's a book dude. You don't do that in movies. They made it work without explicitly telling you what he's thinking. And also this scene has different emotional significance, because it's a different story. Just because he's trapped under something doesn't mean it's an adaptation of that comic.
                >he can only do it because of something Iron Man siad

                After making captain america lite and dark look like a joke, its hardly a struggle when the fight doesn't actually matter to him at all. There is no personal impact shown from him fighting a national hero
                >has to sacrifice his only chance to date his crush and risk his own life and secret identity and the lives of all his friends and family just to do the right thing
                Again, this means nothing. He was never shown to have any genuine connection with this girl or any real history with her that was at stake. It's not like toby missing Dunst's performance after continually promising he'd be there. He get's no flack for this and by the end of the movie none of the other non-characters care. She is never brought up again
                >gets buried and left to die slowly, which he would have if he didn't struggle to lift that ceiling off of him
                Look, the guy your replying to is clearing refering to personal struggles, the thing that made spider-man as popular as he is. Ofc he'll go through physical struggles as is the case with all action characters, the thing that draws people to spiderman are his grounded personal struggles

              Tom Holland has no agency in his own Spiderman movies, RDJ usually overshadows him, but then the GyllenGOD staged him up in the second and was BTFO by Tobey and Andrew in the third. Now there’s infinitely more buzz surrounding the new non-Holland Spiderman 4 than there is for a MCU Spiderman 4
              I like Tom Holland as an actor and apparently he’s a chill ass dude IRL, but his Spidey movies are ass. Not Disney Star Wars tier bad, just very mediocre
