I never particularly felt like Tobey was a solid Peter Parker either – Holland I feel has a good script and good direction for both roles, but I think Garfield gets more criticism than he honestly deserves given what we had experienced [on film] with Spider-Man up to that point. We actually saw a Queens accent, the mainstream personality of Spider-Man, and some other aspects that Homecoming basically owes for getting the boat going cinematically speaking. Amazing Spider-Man had the wit, energy, and cast the character needed. It’s just a shame the studios got greedy and Garfield pissed off the wrong people. In another universe, it’d be Garfield in the MCU without any of the stupid Iron Man sidekick bullshit.

And it's a damn shame.
