Peter Parker (Spider-Man 3)

Peter Benjamin Parker, also known by his superhero alter ego Spider-Man, is a fictional character portrayed by Tobey Maguire that was based on the comic book character of the same name. He was adapted for Sam Raimi's Spider-Man film in 2002, later appearing in two sequels, video games and a television series designed to be set within that continuity. He's the main protagonist of the Sam Raimi's Spider-Man film series, who later reappeared in Spider-Man: No Way Home, as a side protagonist.

Unfortunately, in the 3rd film of the trilogy, he was horribly flanderized from being a kind and loving superhero to an insensitive jerk even before he had the symbiote.

This article will only talk about his character in the 3rd film.

Why JJJ was Right About Him Being a Menace
Note: This is an serious article talking about the character, not the meme that was adapted from it.


 * 1) To start it off, he was flanderized from being a loving, kind, "friendly neighborhood Spider-Man" to a insensitive jerk before the symbiote attached itself to him.
 * 2) He goes as far as to kiss Gwen Stacy onstage, forgetting that he already has a girlfriend. Not only that, he uses the same upside-down kiss method that he did with MJ to kiss Gwen, which was dirty and out-of-character for him to do this. The real Peter would never do this.
 * 3) * He even goes as far as to dance with Gwen at the restaurant where MJ works just to make her mad.
 * 4) He is bent-on killing his uncle's real killer after he learned that the one that he encountered in the first film wasn't the real one. Even if it wasn't the real killer, he would still know it was his fault that Ben is dead because of his pettiness to get the wrestling manager back in the first film.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He was a much better character in the prequels. He massively redeemed himself in No Way Home.
