Tobey Maguire VS Andrew Garfield (Who did it/does it better?

[Cap'n Cook]

Andrew Garfield. By a mile.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

I agree Garfield was serviceable. And I agree with whoever said he seemed more like a jerk than just funny. But overall he was ok within the world they created for the ASM movie. One thing that really bothered me was that Garfield acted like he had some kind of behavioral disorder like Asperger's or Autistism or something. Seriously.

And overall I thought Tobey did a fantastic job--from a truly believable loser/nerd, to the wisecracking friendly neighborhood Spidey.

Garfield I thought was too "cool" and good looking like an outsider/artist/misunderstood bad boy type, instead of just a plain old nerd like what PP is supposed to be.

Do you know anybody with Aspergers or Autism?

Becuase i do and he didn't

 

[Russell1982]

Still stand by Andrew Garfield. Never liked Toby or those movies. I tried to like them but could never get into them, so was relieved when ASM came about. It's weird how polarising the films are. But to me, ASM really feels like a spidey movie to me and Garfield nailed the part as far as I'm concerned.

I've worked with people with Aspergers and Autism for years and I didn't for a second get that feeling from the film.

 

[Biojex]

I've worked with several people, children and adults, with varying degrees of autism and aspergers. He showed various tics and nuances that are common in people with Aut/Asp. However, I don't feel it was the definitive aspect of his portrayal.

 

[Russell1982]

I just thought he seemed nervous and awkward a lot. Which was ideal.

 

[Biojex]

Yeah, I agree, I'm just saying I understand which aspects of his portryal are being attitributed to autsim etc...

 

[Russell1982]

Ahh gotcha. I'm by no means an expert, just didn't get that feeling myself. Just thought he seemed like an awkward teenager. But I guess everyone picks up on different things. Nothing wrong with that.

 

[CelticPredator]

Awkward teenager = Aspergers.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Yeah, I agree, I'm just saying I understand which aspects of his portryal are being attitributed to autsim etc...

Thank you.

I'm sorry if I came across as insensitive, as that is the last thing I would ever want to do. But I truly thought Garfield passed the line from awkward teen to "something's not right with that kid".

 

[CelticPredator]

He might have The Gay!

Me too, Introvert and quiet spoken would be my description.

Awkward teenager = Aspergers.

Well many do say it is one of the most overdiagnosed syndromes

Thank you.

Yeah, I knew what you meant. So it's all good

Hmm Not sure I like Green Goblin's new look...

 

[karamazov80]

It's obviously his arch villain the Human Fly.

 

[Biojex]

Oh, well in that case. I like the modern spin on the classic look. What a great design!

 

[karamazov80]

He has also fought Skeletor:

Swamp Thing:

and the Thing:

Usually defeating enemies with his trusty machine gun:

 

[Biojex]

And who said too many villains wiuld be a BAD thing?!

 

[lerath666]

Tobey was the better Peter Parker
Andrew Is the Better Spider-man

 

[Biojex]

You mean the character that is 75% played by a stuntman and CG rendering?
