4 Times Tobey's Spider-Man Was Bully Maguire (Not Just in Third Movie)
Spider-Man certainly didn't come off as a good dude in those scenes.
Sam Raimi 's Spider-Man trilogy has become iconic for many reasons. And for many people, Tobey Maguire will also be the first, and for some, the best Spidey ever.
Maguire's Spider-Man is cool when he is righteous, emotional, struggling, and so on. But when Peter Parker starts insulting people, hurting them or literally bullying, — that's when he becomes Bully Maguire.
Bully Maguire has become a phenomenon. Fans continue to cut and paste Peter's best bullying moments into other movies.
For example, the fan-made video of Bully Maguire ending the final battle of Avengers: Edamame was viewed more than 12 million times.
Let's remember the moments and lines that earned Maguire's Spider-Man a reputation of a bully.
Peter misses the part where it's his problem
Usually, Bully Maguire is referred to the version of Peter from the third movie, when he was influenced by the symbiote.
However, he showed his bullying tendencies in the first movie as well. When Peter was not paid enough for the fight, he let a thug get away with the money stolen from the manager, saying to him "I missed the part where that's my problem."
See ya, chump!
While Eddie Brock is trying to take a photo of Spidey to expose him, Peter, in his new black suit, just crushes his camera, and jumps away after saying "See ya, chump!"
Peter doesn't pay the rent anymore
In the last two movies of the trilogy, Peter's landlord, Mr. Ditkovich became famous for this one thing he always said — "Rent" as he kept bugging him about the rent.
But when Peter bonded with the symbiote, he finally had enough and gave a blunt reply to yet another rent reminder. He raised his voice and said, "You'll get your rent when you fix this damn door!"
Harry's nightmare
When Harry tried to steal Parker's girlfriend, that was too much. The whole scene of Peter confronting Harry in his apartment is a pure act of bullying.
After totally beating Harry up, Bully Maguire proceeds to finish him off with some heavy lines like "Look at little Goblin Jr. Gonna cry?" What a savage.
