I can't tell if Tobey Maguire is the best, or the worst Spider-Man. I don't really have too much to say about this, but I do have some things to say about the Ultimate Spider-Man series. The comics from the 2000s, not the TV series. The Ultimate Spider-Man series wasn't my first introduction to Spider-Man as a whole, but it certainly was the best. It feels very realistic (as much as a dude who can spit webs can) and very grounded with its approach. Great dialogue, beautiful artwork, amazing character arcs, and amazing villains! You can really see Peter take his time and how he deals with Spider-Man and all the crap revolving around that. He goes from a nerd who gets shoved into lockers, to breaking Flash's hand and Flash suing him over the incident. He meets the X-Men, his clone, and you can really see the dynamic between him and his parents death's, one not done well by the Amazing Spider-Man movies. Aunt May isn't this soft old person, she's kind of a badass parent. I know this feels really scattered, but I absolutely love The Ultimate Spider-Man comics and even if comic books aren't your thing, I think anyone, and everyone can find some appreciation for them.
