6. Peter Parker, Still A Jerk
Here is yet another problem with The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and the franchise (which appears to be at an end if recent reports are to be believed) as a whole.
Andrew Garfield’s Peter Parker isn’t likeable. Tobey Maguire’s take on the character may not have fired off as many wisecracks as fans would have liked, but he was relateable and a good guy. For lack of a better term, this Peter is a jerk. Forget Puny Parker, you could almost imagine this version of the character being a bully in school.
In the sequel, he’s still the mopey moron who treated his Uncle Ben like garbage, not to mention the fact that he’s selfish (defying Captain Stacy’s dying wish on a whim), and is also kind of an idiot. Ultimately, it’s just too hard to care about him.
