Spider-Man: No Way Home - Every Character Ranked Worst To Best

6. Peter Parker

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Andrew Garfield
Sony Pictures Releasing

For full disclosure, your writer here is forever a Tobey Maguire Guy when it comes to live-action Spider-Man shenanigans.

While it was great to see Maguire's Wall-crawler back on screens, it's only fair that the Andrew Garfield iteration of the character is ranked slightly above his alt-world self. Tobey's Parker was fantastic and served as the elder statesmen of the trio of Spideys, but the 'Amazing' Spider-Man got one extremely special moment to shine.

Clearly still dealing with PTSD from the death of Gwen Stacy in ASM2, this version of the Web-head got a moment of redemption by saving MJ from a similar fate. With MJ thrown to her apparent death, it was Garfield's Spider-Man who swooped in to make the late save - immediately becoming emotional as he dealt with those revisited memories of his deceased beau.

Once described as the Swiss Army Knife of WhatCulture, Andrew can usually be found writing, editing, or presenting on a wide range of topics. As a lifelong wrestling fan, horror obsessive, and comic book nerd, he's been covering those topics professionally as far back as 2010. In addition to his current WhatCulture role of Senior Content Producer and Presenter, Andrew previously spent nearly a decade as Online Editor and Lead Writer for the world's longest-running genre publication, Starburst Magazine, and his work has also been featured on BBC, TechRadar, Tom's Guide, WhatToWatch, Sportkskeeda, and various other outlets, in addition to being a Rotten Tomatoes-approved film critic. Between his main day job, his role as lead panel host of Wales Comic Con, and his gig as a pre-match host for Wrexham AFC games, Andrew has also carried out a hugely varied amount of interviews, from the likes of Robert Englund and Eli Roth to Kevin Smith and the Russo Brothers, to Kevin Conroy and Frank Miller, to Bret Hart and Sting, to Mickey Thomas, Joey Jones, Phil Parkinson, and Brian Flynn, to many, many more. Where his beloved Wrexham AFC is concerned, Andrew is a long-standing season ticket holder and an FSA Award-winner for his time co-hosting the Fearless in Devotion podcast.
