SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME May Have New Digital Release Date; Concept Art Of Tobey Maguire's Spidey Released

@URCOMMENTSUCKS - What the heck are you talking about? He made him the wisest version of the character who the others aspire to be like.

@Origame - Read my other reply.

@URCOMMENTSUCKS - Tobey gets plenty to do:
- He's the one who initially gets through to Tom's Peter and tells him that May's death doesn't have to be meaningless if they fight for what she believed in.
- Andrew's Peter has a lot more unresolved trauma in his life that Tobey's so it makes sense that they give him a redemptive moment by saving MJ; Tobey, on the other hand, clearly regrets the deaths of both Norman (and by extension, Harry) and Otto - he says he's been thinking about a Goblin cure "for years" suggesting he's been thinking about Norman and Harry ever since their deaths, while we get that fantastic moment towards the end where Tobey-Peter and Otto reunite and are clearly happy to see each other alive and well and to not be fighting one another.
- Tying into all that, Tobey is the one who literally steps in to stop Tom murdering Norman, which is a HUGE character moment considering he is indirectly responsible for Norman's death in the main Raimi timeline; this means he's now creating a brand new timeline where not only Norman gets to live, but Harry doesn't become obsessed with Spider-Man and end up eventually dying as well (seeing as he wouldn't become the Goblin) and Otto probably never worked for Oscorp (seeing as Harry was in charge when he was hired) and as a result probably never became Doc Ock. So Tobey ABSOLUTELY gets a moment of redemption to close out his arc too.

That's the amazing thing about this movie; these 3 versions of Peter don't just come together to look cool on screen, they actually make each other better, help each other overcome their personal traumas and give each other a clean slate and a fresh start.

And yeah, it would've been nice to hear about Aunt May, but maybe Tobey (and Andrew) were being sympathetic by not bringing up their probably alive-and-well Aunt Mays around Tom after losing his mere hours before.

And yeah, maybe Tobey and Norman having actual dialogue might've been a decent addition, but actions speak louder than words and Norman being cured after being saved by Tobey, and then realising to his own horror that he's stabbed and tried to kill him, does that just as effectively. Norman asking "what have I done?" after regaining his senses pretty much confirms he's not a villain anymore.

I would've liked a bit more insight into Tobey's life after Spider-Man 3 too, don't get me wrong, but what we got was plenty and giving any more would've run the risk of derailing the pacing of the movie by suddenly making it about him when Tom is still playing the main character.
