Why Spider-Man WON 2018

4. His Spectacular Role In Avengers: Infinity War

As just mentioned, the Spider-Man we saw in Infinity War was pretty darn brilliant.

Tom Holland's portrayal of the character has been fantastic since Civil War and Homecoming, but, as proven by the former of the two, Spidey is ultimately more enjoyable when interacting with the other heroes of the MCU, something which has continued in his latest live-action, big-screen appearance.

Seeing the character meet the Guardians of the Galaxy and Doctor Strange was such a delight, and the first interaction between him and the sorcerer supreme was an instant classic. The reactions to Quill's stupidity were also an excellent excuse for some moments of levity in an otherwise quite serious - and decidedly more deadly - entry in the MCU.

Now, we couldn't mention Spider-Man's role in Infinity War without mentioning his death, which was one of - if not the - most emotional points in all of the MCU. It was a scene which both demonstrated the acting chops of Holland, who notoriously improvised Peter's final lines, and made audiences the world over feel as if onions were being chopped right in front of them.
