Right, but Spiderman has never really been portrayed that way outside of Tobey. I can't really remember an instance where Spiderman and Peter Parker come off as two completely different people as much as Tobey's version. Spiderman has usually been more... Peter coming into his own and being more confident, not Peter becoming a completely different personality.

EDIT: Basically, I'm not saying Tobey's portrayal feels weird overall. I'm just saying it feels weird for Peter Parker/Spiderman.

someone like scarlet can correct me when i'm wrong but from what i remember, the lee/ditko peter was very insecure and not all that sarcastic (there's a reason he got bullied in high school). what you're describing is more like the later, mature peter. sure, tobey was bad at playing that peter but i thought his portrayal of an old-school peter was fine (even though he obviously looked too old to be in high school).

(sorry for necrobumping, i just now saw this topic)
