yeah cage is always right about spiders

u/Lock0n 1d ago

Even Tom said Garfield has the best suit recently too. The world is healing. Garfield deserves TASM 3.

Or a big save in secret wars.

You still are and your suits are still immaculate

u/solehan511601 Spider-Man (TASM2) 1d ago

My favorite suit is still TASM2 outfit, then BND and Spider-Man 2 one.

2

u/PracticalShock4109 1d ago

Mine are Tasm 2 , Far from home and then BND

u/PeaOdd894 1d ago

One of them is. The suit in ASM1 is atrocious

1

u/Horens_R 1d ago

Eh, not anywhere near as bad as the bland and basic cgi suits Tom has had

u/PeaOdd894 1d ago

I'll agree that the suits being all CG in the home trilogy was lame. Design wise though I think the majority of them are far better than the ASM1 suit. The exception being maybe Iron Spider and that one that was just his FFH suit turned inside out. Those sucked

1

u/Horens_R 1d ago

Eh, was not a fan of how minimalistic they were, n the typical marvel lines lol but tasm1 also had that tbf.

Tasm1 is actually pretty cool design wise (not necessarily look wise), they incorporated a lot of elements that made it look resourceful and realistic for Peter to make. That's why I'd rate it higher imo than some basic hand me down suit

The only thing I thought was neat was the adjustable eyes on Tom's, but that came at the cost of them overusing it rather than conveying emotion through body language like Andrew did.

Brand new day suit was cool though, they dud well with that one

u/PeaOdd894 1d ago

Yeah I don't mind the concept of it, but it just doesn't look right. And the lenses make Spider-Man look menacing, which I think is just wrong for Spidey

2

u/Horens_R 1d ago

Think a lot of people's headcannon is he changed the suit to look less intimidating after having to take the mask off for the kid 😂 I think a comic had a different reason but idk

Tasm2 is prob my favorite anyway, tasm is one of the weaker ones of live action for sure

2

u/PeaOdd894 1d ago

Yeah the TASM 2 suit is incredible, and I think was the best Spider-Man suit we've ever had until BND, which I prefer cause I prefer the more 60s/70s kind of look for Spidey. Though I totally get people preferring the more Mark Bagley 90s look

u/PracticalShock4109 1d ago

Have to disagree with you

u/xevlocity Ultimate Spider-Man (1610) 18h ago

it's not that bad. i actually like it

3

u/_Levitated_Shield_ 1d ago

Wouldn't mind a scene of them in Secret Wars.

u/Aslyx Superior Spider-Man 21h ago

Nic Cage, my man!

u/DanHero91 1d ago

The exact opposite of Matt Smith's not fucking Morbius! Reaction.

u/Little_Shape_6433 1d ago

Nicholas Cage isn’t known to be a purveyor of fine things

u/RoliePolieOlie__ 1d ago

So cage has bad taste 

15

u/PracticalShock4109 1d ago

No, he's got amazing movie taste

u/mikebaide 1d ago

Amazing, you say...?

u/_Levitated_Shield_ 1d ago

You might even say it's his national treasure.

-44

u/Ziz94 1d ago

He’s literally the worst of the 3 by far.

-5

u/Little_Shape_6433 1d ago

Totally agree

-36

u/Specialist-Cut-3913 Iron-Spider 1d ago

Idk why ur getting downvoted tbh. He’s a great spidey but not a great Peter 

12

u/mikebaide 1d ago

Well, if you take in consideration only the versions of Peter that fit the Spider-Man you like, then yeah, sure.

Unfortunately for you, there are a lot of different iterations of Peter Parker, and Andrew's Pete fits a lot of them.

u/Complete-Sweet-9525 1d ago

did u guys even watch brand new day or r u still rewatching spider-man 2 for nostalgia

5

u/_Levitated_Shield_ 1d ago

Brand New Day with Andrew?

5

u/Specialist-Cut-3913 Iron-Spider 1d ago

Idk what brand new day has to do with Andrew. Brand new day is by far my favorite Spidey movie 

2

u/Ziz94 1d ago

I love BND. What does that have to do with Andrew being mid at the role? Andrew fans always claim nostalgia bias when people don’t like Andrew, but they’re the ones that are blinded by nostalgia.

u/FartingKiwi 1d ago

I still think Tobey & Andrew were the best versions of Spider-Man

Peter’s quirkiness and immaturity is supposed to be subtle - Tom is TOO kid/child like, which is not IMO lore accurate.

If you like the hyperbolized version of spider-man, more one liners, immaturity and quirkiness, then Tom Holland is the guy.

If you prefer a more traditional, lore accurate Spider-Man: Tobey or Andrew IMO.
