"The Avengers! That's Great. What Is That?"
Fans had long-awaited the reveal of three Spider-Men working alongside one another. The Peter Parker from Earth-616 had an edge on the other two though as he'd already been a part of a group, the Avengers. It didn't take him long to make that name drop.

His reaction to the team, saying how great it is, only to question what he's actu...
"You're Amazing."
When it comes to hyping up his friends, Tobey Maguire's iteration of Spider-Man might be the best. He's gone through confidence issues of his own, so it's probably quite close to home that he has to ensure that Andrew Garfield's web-slinger understands just how great he is as a superhero. He reminds his counterpart Peter Parker that he truly is amazing, even trying to get him to repeat the line back. It's a moving and hilarious moment, but one that also pays homage to the comics and film titl...
"Go Web! Fly! Up, Up, And Away Web! Shazaam! Go! Go! Go Web Go! Tally Ho."
Before he could fight any villainsor save any citizens Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man had to learn how to swing. He's the only Peter Parker whose webs are actually organically formed, with the natural webbing exiting his wrists with a very specific hand movement. The process of discovering that was a long but hilarious one. He tried all sorts of words and phrases that might trigger the event, including some references to other superheroes including Shazam, Superman, and Inspector Gadget. It's jus...
"I Fought An Alien Made Out Of Black Goo Once"
Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man has faced insurmountable odds throughout his career. Venom might have been one of the most terrifying creatures that he had to defeat, with the Symbiote actually affecting his very mental stability once they had been bonded. RELATED: The 5 Best (& 5 Worst) Characters In Sam Raimi's Spider-Man Trilogy When recounting the event to his friends though, he downplays it as an alien goo monster. It's as if it was a walk in the park, showing his growing confidence but in co...

"If You Lay One Finger On Her..."

The level of feelings for Mary Jane can be used as a means to which to measure how good a Spider-Man is.

“No Matter What I Do, No Matter How Hard I Try, The Ones I Love Will Always Be The Ones Who Pay.”
When Mary Jane first tells Peter that she loves him, he tells her that they can only be friends. That's not really what he wants as his aim is to protect her from the dangers of his job. Great heroes do a great job of protecting their loved ones and Peter hints that he can do that effectively. He does mean it because Maguire's Mary Jane doesn't become a victim of the chaos, compared to Andrew Garfield's Mary Jane who meets her demise, with the web-slinger unable to save her.
