Glad to see the love for Josh Keaton in this topic

I think people have nostalgia for Tobey because he's the version many of us grew up with (he got a much louder pop in my theater when he appeared in No Way Home than Andrew Garfield did). I think he does a good job of portraying Peter's insecurities, but he's not great at the quips. Garfield's Spidey is perhaps too good at quipping to the point that he can come off as almost abrasive at times (Spidey quips to cover up his nerves, not because he's a jerk), and his portrayal of Peter is a bit too cocky, too.

Holland hits the sweet spot of insecure teenager and witty quips.
