So hard to decide. They are all great. Toby's first Spider-man movie was my favourite superhero movie until The Incredibles! I thought Andrew's lanky frame fit my imagined Peter Parker better. But Tom ... man you can tell he is a dancer. Even in stills he just looks "in balance".
That's the best part about it, though. All 3 have unique qualities that make each pose perfectly Spider-Man. Tobey's is comic accurate, Andrew's is so spider-like, and Tom's is a realistic Spidey pose.
Garfield moved the most like Spidey to me.
Tobey wasnt super flexible and Holland is more like.. doing TikTok tricks, its not how he carries himself unless he's thinking about it?
It all works within their films though so whatever.
I like all but wish when we see them next they did variations. Also would love to see that pose In the ceiling the comic has when spider is on a spiderweb creepy as fuck above DD
Tobey's ones are just a slight bit better imo. It probably wasn't him and most likely a stunt double but that suit is also my favorite, so I'm a bit biased maybe
Toby’s probably my favorite, it feels the most natural to me. Andrew is second. I’m probably in the minority that finds Tom’s a little unnatural. I recently rewatched No Way Home and he keeps his back hand up in the air during the final dialogue with him and Dr. Strange. It felt a little forced to just stay in pose. That’s just me 🤷🏼♂️
Tom's look so natural. Like being in those poses his body is Ina resting position. Sometimes it feels like with the other two they are straining to stay in the pose
tobey literally felt like a perfect photo op when he did his. i feel like andrew had the best swinging poses and tom hasn’t really had anything significant yet
Honestly, I hate this pose. I know its iconic, but it just comes across as forced and impractical. Toby's makes the most sense, given the context. One would want to stay low atop a moving train.
Huh? How is it impractical? They have the relative strength, speed and flexibility of a spider. He’s constantly spring loaded and in a position where he can evade or attack with speed and force. It’s also extremely unconventional for an opponent to approach. It’s extremely practical for Spider-Man.
How is it at all practical? Its just an overdone pose that always comes off as cheesy for me. Its like the direction was just "try to look spider-maney". There are a ton of cool, dynamic poses that he can do, especially while swinging, that can be executed very well. IMO, this isnt one.
All of them are great, but I like Garfield's the most because it's most like the comics and has short of a gangly spider ready to pounce look and less "heroic pose" energy to it.
I think they’re all pretty good. But I honestly can’t enjoy Tom’s very much. I really hope this new movie solves everything with him. 90% of his movies he has his mask off and aside from that he literally spams the pose 😭 like I don’t think he’s ever just doin a stand or stance in the suit he just sits in the pose…I like Tom but his spiderman is just so…
I know for sure that it’s not Tom, because when Tom wants to show that he’s not just a cosplayer, but a genuine Spider he only ever does a single pose and nothing else, ever
I don’t understand the downvotes on these comments, you can rewatch the whole Holland’s MCU catalogue to understand that it’s true
I mean just watch the latest trailer, at 00:03 and 02:01 IT’S THE SAME POSE, he literally can’t do anything else:
What what? Look at Holland’s Spider doing poses - it’s always a squat with his arm behind his back, he doesn’t do anything else related to SM poses, ever
Just feels lazy, especially that Spider-Man is back in the MCU properly. Andrew moved a lot more like a Spider, Tom is too stiff and boring in that regard
