Peter Benjamin Parker, also known as Spider-Man, is the main protagonist of the original Spider-Man trilogy by Sam Raimi (or Earth-96283). He is a character first appearing originally in Marvel comic books created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko in 1962. He is the nephew of May Parker and Ben Parker, and the love interest of Mary Jane Watson and later boyfriend.

He was played by Tobey Maguire in all three films in the original Spider-Man trilogy between 2002 and 2007.

He was likeable in the first 2 films, as has been since No Way Home. Unfortunately, during the 3rd film, he was horribly flanderized and became extremely out-of-character.

Why He Sucked

 * 1) He was badly flanderized into becoming an insensitive jerk, even before getting affected by the symbiote.
 * 2) * This is also extremely out-of-character for him, because he was never unlikable.
 * 3) Her chemistry with Mary Jane Watson is a joke, as they constantly have corny dialogue, and they constantly go back and forth over if they want to be in a relationship or not.
 * 4) He goes behind MJ's back and kisses Gwen Stacy on-stage (using the same upside-down kiss method he had done with MJ for bonus points).
 * 5) Even though this was a major problem that caused strain on his life and his relationship with Mary Jane in the previous film, it is never explained or shown how he managed to balance his life as a civilian and his life as Spider-Man, as his daily schedule in this film is exactly like his daily schedule in the previous film.
 * 6) As mentioned in WHS#1, he acted extremely out-of-character, because he would normally never hurt his loved ones' feelings, but sadly, he decided to care less.
 * 7) Bully Maguire is pure cringe not only because of him suddenly changing his hair to a more emo style, but because of his arrogance and "bad boy" attitude. However, it does kind of makes sense that he would become an arrogant jerk when the suit gives him confidence, considering how he was a loser nerd in the first film.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) It's nice to see that he has finally managed to find a balance between having a normal life and fighting crime as Spider-Man (even though we don't know how WHS ). He's happy in his relationship with Mary Jane Watson while also receiving the praise he deserves as New York's masked crime-fighter.
 * 2) He still cares about his family and friends, and he does at least regret his unforgivable actions towards them, especially to Mary Jane and Harry.
 * 3) He has some good funny moments here and there:
 * 4) * The infamous scene where he dances is well done, despite being cringeworthy.
 * 5) While him being an arrogant jerk because of the black suit is heartbreaking, it is quite satisfying to watch him stand up to those who gave him such a hard time.
 * 6) His action scenes are still decent, especially for the final battle he was in, and the fight between him and Harry at Harry's house which is one of the highlights of the film.
 * 7) He's a bit more sympathetic during the third film and he and Mary Jane start to have actual chemistry with each other, before it's ruined by Reason.
 * 8) He still has some funny and memorable lines:
 * 9) *"You'll get your rent when you fix this damn door!"
 * 10) *"Stings, doesn't it?"
 * 11) *"See ya, chump."
 * 12) *"I'm gonna put some dirt in your eye."
 * 13) *"You want forgiveness? Get religion."
 * 14) *"Look at little Goblin Jr, gonna cry?"
 * 15) He is still handsome looking.
 * 16) Tobey Maguire still did an amazing job playing as him.
 * 17) He slightly improved in the editor's cut of the 3rd film:
 * 18) * He sees a haunting glimpse of the symbiote as he looks in the mirror.
 * 19) * He has better tone and pacing in some of the rearranged scenes.
 * 20) He has massively redeemed himself in No Way Home, where he not only got his likable charm from the first 2 films back, but also gained tons of character development and contributed to the story in a good way.

Winnie the Pooh is the main protagonist of the Disney series with the same name, based on the books by A. A. Milne. He is a yellow teddy bear who loves eating honey. His books and shows mainly center around him and his friends having adventures. Unfortunately, his counterpart in the official licensed comics isn't, however.

Why He Sucks
NOTE: This page is only talking about his counterpart in the Winnie the Pooh comics since the original Pooh is likable.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Pooh himself is still likable in the original Disney franchise outside the comics.
 * 2) * Additionally, this counterpart can be written as non-canon, considering the fact that the comics don't actually have that big of an impact on the mainline Disney series.
 * 3) He is still nice to his friends on occasion, despite the mean things he says to them.
