Why Jake Johnson is the Best Spider-Man

JAKE JOHNSON PROVES THAT PETER PARKER DOESN'T HAVE TO SOUND LIKE A TEEN TO FEEL LIKE SPIDER-MAN

I feel like an older spiderman is more engaging because we rarely get to see heros out of their prime

Love Jake Johnson's fresh take on the role. The man's hands down the funniest Spider-Man we have so far.

The thing that I'll never forget about the first movie is that the guy was ready to die/sacrifice himself to save Miles's universe just like that. It's like he was so depressed about his life and MJ that he just gave up on everything, but then saw a little light with Miles and so decided to sacrifice everything to save him and everybody.

The scene where Peter shuts down the “Great Power/Great Responsibility” mantra breaks my heart. Back when I saw that in the theaters, people around me laughed. But that line just made me so sad. He’s been at it for so long and Johnson’s performance makes Peter sound so tired and frustrated. It’s one of my favorite scenes in the whole movie

“I’ve got good news, we don’t need the monitor” will never fail to make me audibly laugh. Jake crushed it for sure. And honestly, chris pine did a great job as well until his untimely death lol

What I loved was how Miguel used guilt as a way of manipulation; if Uncle Ben was always supposed to die, no Peter needs to feel guilt about not preventing it. Same with every Spidey-tragedy. If it was meant to happen and would destroy the world if it didn’t happen, then Spider-Man can let go of the guilt surrounding it. Miguel offers them a way out. And really Gwen’s tipping point was when she learned her dad was no longer a cop. Her canon event won’t happen, and if it did, it’s the fault of Miguel offering her a place in the society when she wanted to leave home. Rejecting the idea of canon events means every Spider-Man has to accept that the tragedies that shaped them could have been prevented. Not that I think Miguel is doing this intentionally of course. He needs to absolve himself of guilt as much as any of them. He’s just chosen these canon events as a thing to blame and basically a reason every Spidey should be as miserable as he is.

I love how you mentioned that he portrayed a loser in New Girl but it was by choice after they revealed that he actually passed the bar yet chose to work as a bartender

I love Jake Johnson''s Peter because it's a jab at Marvel, portraying a Peter if One More Day didn't happen, specially now with them bringing back Mayday and making him an excited father.

i think Andrew Garfield had the potential to be the best Spider-Man, its really unfortunate he never have the writing to back it up. Like he stole the show during No Way Home, if by some chance he ever has the opportunity to play the character again I think he could take the cake

Tom Holland does his own stunts and that’s worthy of commendation. The flaws from his Spider-Man don’t come from anything he does it comes from the writing and the insistence that it needs to be connected to everything else in the MCU.

Peter B. Parker made me realize that Spider-Man’s usual sassy quips + being tired 24/7 is the perfect recipe for a dad 😂

Honestly my only issue with the Spiderverse films is that we finally get a perfect adaptation of Peter Parker on the big screen and he's the side character. I need a full Peter B Parker film by rhese writers.

I cannot disagree. He crushed it. This was incredibly well made.

his spiderman feels like the fun but dorky uncle. like he's your mom's brother

Yeah,Tobey,Andrew,Tom they are Iconic,but Peter B Parker is completely fresh experience,grow up Peter who is really tired from life,and even in this time somewhere inside of him there is hero,it’s not about just beating a villain it’s about growing up taking care of children and I love it,definitely best spidey I ever seen

The line when Aunt May says you look tired Peter. Man that hit me so hard knowing what Peter has went through 🥺

I always thought Spiderman was... just fine but Spiderverse convinced me to actually LOVE Peter Parker. I get it now. Both Jake and Chris Pine really brought him to life.

Oh man, poor Tom. He really tries to bring lot of youthful energy and enthusiasm to the role. Plus, he does the accent.

I love the way he delivered the line about seahorses. You can feel his emotions when he says that.
