Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man 2 is widely considered to be one of the greatest superhero movies ever made. It has a perfect balance of action, comedy, heart, and character development. The film follows Peter Parker as he strives to strike a balance between his personal life and his responsibilities as Spider-Man. He’s losing his powers, his job, and his love, all while trying to stop the evil Dr. Octopus.
Although this movie is considered to be one of the best and complete superhero movies in Hollywood, there was one scene in the movie that left most of the viewers in dismay. The scene follows as Doc Ock tries to kill the lead characters of the film, Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson. Many fans and followers of MCU have spoken against the scene and it became a hot social media topic for a while.
Spider-Man 2 Had a Tragic Scene That Left Fans Baffled
The scene in Spider-Man 2 where Doc Ock tries to kill Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson by throwing a car at him is one of the most iconic in the film, but it is also one of the most confusing. Given that Doc Ock isn’t aware at the time that Peter is Spider-Man and that Spider-Man is the only one who can stop him, many fans have claimed that it is nonsensical for Doc Ock to attempt to murder Peter Parker and his partner.

Many have argued claiming that the scenario is really a depiction of Doc Ock’s mental condition at the time rather than being nonsensical. The tentacles are in control of Doc Ock and are continuously pressuring him to use violence. He is also under a great deal of stress, as he is trying to complete his experiment and save his own life. In this state of mind, it is possible that he does not fully understand the consequences of his actions.
It was also possible that Doc Ock was simply trying to scare Peter into giving up the information on the whereabouts of Spider-Man by threatening to harm his loved ones. In the end, Doc Ock’s intentions are complex and only partially revealed in the movie.
