Well, the next phase of my comic book/superhero film spree is Spider-man films. I hadn't seen any, weirdly, except for snippets of some of the Tobey Maguire films from my college days. So, who is my favorite Peter Parker? Definitely Tom Holland. No question. I much prefer his quirky sense of humor, his nerdiness, and his youth. And my favorite love interest? Well, I really disliked the overly sappy love story between Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst. It does NOT work for me AT ALL. Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone's relationship was more believable and I could actually stomach it. But I prefer how the most recent Marvel films wrote it for Tom Holland--best friend Ned and then some crushes on first Liz and then MJ.
Best villain? That is a tougher question. Probably has to be Vulture from Spider-Man: Homecoming with a close second going to Otto from Spider-Man 2. But all the villains in the franchise are kinda...weird. I find the back story and family relationships that Peter has much more interesting.
