The Amazing Spider-Man Get rid of Tobey?

[DACMAN]

A lot of people seem to want to get rid of Tobey. What do you say?

 

[mre]

I voted for recast, but I'll see if he can make Peter better in the fourth.
But I think sometimes the writing enhances the things people hate about Toby's Peter.
Really though, if they recast I believe they should also reboot. Because if they recast Peter they better recast MJ as well.
I hope they keep J K Simmons as Jonah.

first off, I think you need to stop with the bashing threads. It's seriously old now, and you're spamming like no other. first raimi; now tobey. and we keep him. if we replace him, then we do it some 6 years later with a new franchise. replacing him now would be like replacing jackman as wolverine, replacing bale as batman, replacing RDJ as stark.

this goes to you and your stupid thread.

The usual complaint about Tobey is that "He's not a cocky Spider-man!" If anyone has any shred of sense they would know that it's not his fault, it's the writer's. If they've played the games based off the movies you'll see that he can be a cocky Spider-man.

Tobey doesn't resemble Peter Parker or Spider-man in any way.

oops I forgot he has brown hair.

He wasn't very good in the games when he tried to throw a wise crack either.

I never said whether or not I wanted to keep him. I simply asked a question. And recasting him now isn't like Batman or Ironman. They've only had two films (one which isn't even out yet) with them. Tobey has had three films.

And besides, the majority of people seem to want someone else. I personally see Tobey like I did Keaton. He did ok and we accepted him because we didn't have anyone else. Now that we have Bale we can now see that Keaton wasn't a very good Batman. I feel the same way about Tobey. He was ok, but they could do MUCH better.

And you need to calm down. It was a simple question.

YOU can see Keaton wasnt a very good Batman. Keaton was an awesome Batman and thats seen by me and countless others. Keaton wasnt the ideal Bruce Wayne,but no faults as Batman. Its all a matter of opinion. But a very large majority think Keaton is better than Bale as Batman. That gravely voice...ugh.

Hell. No.

Keaton>All others in my opinion.

Bale makes a pretty good Wayne but his Batman...meh. Better than the others but still just mediocre.

I disagree. Specially with SM2. He prooved he can quip and has the right voice tone for this.
I'd like him to stay. He has grown as an actor through 1 to 3. The problem is that he is too expensive, now. I don't mind a recast for SM5, but I like Tobey as Spidey.
As for his shape, he needs to keep it the way he was in the last interview we watched. Just bodybuild a little more.

 

[DACMAN]

But a very large majority think Keaton is better than Bale as Batman.

Yeah, that's not true. I'll give you Keaton still has a SMALL group of people that still gush over him. But for the most part, (all 500 million of it) people liked Bale as Bats and Bruce more.

 

[webhead731]

I agree about the games. I love his smart ass voice in them.

Except when the games do that thing where he says the same thing twice. -_- Hate it when games do it.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

No, no, no, and NO! Keep Tobey.

Voice acting is a lot harder than just normal acting.

I love Tobey Maguire. I honestly can't think of anyone else better suited for this role, he was a nerd growing up, and he can play one now beautifully. I think most of the stuff that people criticize him for is because of the poor writing. Oh, he can do a wise crack fine. They were hilarious in all of the three films.

Keep him!

However, Kirsten Dunst looks a bit lethargic.. Raimi needs to have a talk with her .

 

[SpideyFan914]

Wow, for a second there, when you said "Keaton," I thought you meant Josh Keaton in TSSM. I was freaking out. Then I realized you were comparing him to Bale's Batman, and remembered that a different Keaton played Bats in the Tim Burton films. Yeah, I still haven't seen those, though I don't like Bale as Batman - he's a good Bruce, though.

Anyway, back on topic, I will openly admit that Tobey Maguire's been weakening. I won't say he's a bad Spidey, just could be better. Still, I will not accept a different Spidey 'til Tobey's hair goes gray! It's a movie series, and recasting the main character midway through the series would make it seem rather inconsistent. Same goes for Kirsten Dunst - let's keep it linear, peoples!

It's kind of sad that people have turned on Tobey bc of SM 3. I enjoyed the film a lot but if you hate emo parker or whatever it's coined, blame the writers, the Raimis. Their idea.

I think he's great for the role. If you get a cocky Parker, you risk the threat of receiving an annoying, arrogant character IMO. Sometimes subtle wins out, especially on the big screen. I think he does all the little things. I only wish he was more keen on doing them. He gave everyone grief during SM2 (who really knows why) and said he didn't want to do 4. That's why they were looking at guys like Patrick Fugit. Other than that though, he's great for the role and can't wait for this one. I hope the writers grant him his wish of evolving the character. Something different.

Spidey has been so-called cocky in the comics for over 40 years and he hasn't ever came off as annoying or arrogant. There's no excuse to not share with audiences a confident wise cracking spidey.

 

[DACMAN]

Right. The irony is we did get an annoying and arrogant Peter in SM3, with NO quips.

 

[DACMAN]

Right. So it couldn't be the fact he is too old? Or that he isn't in as good as shape? Or that he just isn't that good an actor? Or that he can't throw out a quip? Or that he is kind of monotoned? I think people are raising their expectations of these movies. Which is great! People want actually see the Spidey we grew up with now. We were glad to eat whatever they threw at us before, because Spidey was finally making it to the big screen. After three movies, I think most people are ready to see Peter grow the heck up. I'm tired of the wimpy, dorky Peter. I want to see Spider-Man finally.

 

[Rodrigo90]

My only complaint about Tobey in 3...Double chin,lol.

But I think its unnecessary to recast now. Weve had him this long and Ive enjoyed and I he did something thats important to Spideys success...I could relate and connect to him. So I dont want him recasted.

He has crappy luck in 2 and I could relate to that,lol.
He has a difficult love life...So did I for a while,but I got my GF in the end after a year of trying,lol.

 

[The Joker]

Tobey's not the problem. The writing of his character is. Although he did have a bit of a double chin in SM-3, which I disliked.

I've heard Tobey be a witty Spider-Man in the video games. He can do it if he's given the material.

 

[itsleroy]

Where is this double chin? How can I have missed this? Was it when he was just told Marko had killed his uncle and he was crying? I think I remember a double chin around there..

 

[Rodrigo90]

When hes sitting on the bed and decides to pay Harry a visit with the Black suit.

The camera pans from his face to his cheek. Its pretty big to miss. But hes in much better shape now.

I think after 3s mistakes, theyll know what to do and what not to do.
