The debate around the best Spider-Man has existed for ages. The several versions of the web-slinging superhero have always led the fans to fight over the best version of it. However, it looks like we might have found our winner here. According to an Instagram post, Andrew Garfield’s version possessed key attributes that make him the best Spider-Man among the three.
Over the years, the friendly neighborhood superhero has gotten uncountable versions across different media. In live-action, we have got three Spider-Men and the very first Tobey Maguire’s version has got a massive fanbase. But it is often said that Maguire was more of a better Peter Parker while TASM provided us with a better Spider-Man.
Is the Spider-Man debate settled?
We have seen three distinct versions of Spider-Men in live action in the form of Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland. It can’t be denied that even after being so different from each other, the three versions of the Marvel wall-crawler have been fan favorites. This was evident when the three versions joined hands in Spider-Man: No Way Home and the audience went crazy.
The different qualities possessed by each version of the character have led each to be unique in their ways. However, according to the latest Instagram post, Andrew Garfield’s version is said to be the best version as he was something more than “just a man with spider powers”. The video pointed out how Garfield’s fighting skills against the Lizard replicate that of an actual spider.

Daniel Grinspan also used the sewer fight scene from The Amazing Spider-Man and Andrew Garfield’s iconic swinging actions to prove he might be the best version. It seems that several fans also share the same feelings. A user commented “Finally…. Someone said it” while another wrote, “Tobey is the best Peter Parker and Andrew is the best Spider-Man”.
The post has uncountable comments that show similar emotions. Over the years, many fans have also praised the swinging actions of the TASM. The demand for a third TASM movie also rose after the release of No Way Home. It looks like Andrew Garfield’s version of the superhero is finally getting the long-overdue love.
What makes Andrew Garfield the best Spider-Man?
One of the key points that troubled Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man is the writing. It can’t be denied that the writing of TASM 2 was terrible and contributed to the disappointing results. However, the Tick, Tick… Boom! actor gave his best and along with some of the most well-staged action and web-swinging actions carried the movie on his shoulders.
Besides having amazing skills in action, Garfield’s wall-crawler also had a unique sense of humor during his fights. While Tobey Maguire might be the best Peter Parker, Garfield has quite the upper hand as Spider-Man. A certain section also claims that Tom Holland possesses an amazing balance of both.
Now it will be exciting to watch if we can get The Amazing Spider-Man 3 which has been demanded by fans for a long time now. On top of that, it is also expected that Andrew Garfield might appear as Spidey in MCU’s multiversal drama Avengers: Secret Wars once again.
The Amazing Spider-Man 1 & 2 can be streamed on Disney+.
