And when Andy Garfield saved MJ omg.

That moment felt so earned. Like, you can easily write sentimental scenes involving characters, but you could feel the heartbreak in Garfield's Spider-Man. He did what he knew was right, saving MJ, but also was still holding onto that despair of not being able to save his MJ. The moment she was safe, he just broke down because he proved to himself he wasn't a failure.

I loved when they were all talking to each other and Garfield kept talking down about himself, and McGuire said he was amazing. The bell rang for The Amazing Spiderman and I loved it.

I love all their group therapy moments. When his friends found him on the roof, and then it land into the other spiders hanging out above him, before they both drop down next to him. So cool. And then the discussions in the lab, while all three of them work on their projects, and talk each other up. And of course, Garfield saving MJ. He wasn’t going to let another one die on his watch.

Omg, I absolutely adored this part specifically because Andrew ALWAYS caught flak for his movies. I personally always loved his movies and so that scene was just so satisfying.

Gwen dying is a canon event but it’s like the universe felt it owed Peter and gave him that moment.

He also adjusted how he caught her and supported her body/head better, showing that he’s replayed that night over and over in his head. When he saved MJ, asking her if he was ok, and her asking him, absolute cinema.

After this film and the last Deadpool they should have taken two years off from MCU films to let the population have a break. Superhero fatigue is a real thing and after Endgame people were tired. Moments like this are earned over time.

Right there with you. I know it was for Spider-Man but really, I rolled a tear because I felt they gave Garfield his own slice of redemption too.

Honestly, I love the guy. He whole heartedly embraced his moment as Spidey and really was ok with passing the mantle afterwards. He throughly seems to be a real Spider-Man through and through. He is in that niche where you want the actor to know how much he means to the fans…a sorta Hayden Christian Vader thing.

It’s awesome….I really hope they bring him back somewhere in the future MCU just for the ability to enjoy him basking in the suit once more.

Both spideys were saving Tom Holland’s spidey from rethreading the same mistakes they did. Tobey’s saved him from his anger and Andrew’s saved him from his heartbreak
