Who's the best Spider-Man
Currently Drake Bell is Spider-Man and fans of the wall crawler may think I'm full of shit but he's a great Peter Parker not so much a good Spider-Man though. Here the problem he has nothing to work with most of the time in the new Ultimate Spider-Man they have Spidy breaking the fourth wall to speak to the audience and that was funny the first time, but the long the gag goes the more lackluster it gets. On the other hand when he has to show depth and real emotion in his voice its spot on, and the show is called Ultimate Spider-Man but at times it doesn't focus on anything that made the 1994 Spider-Man. Like with Code Lyoko it seem better graphic are being trade for a well thought out plot example being The Spectacular Spider-Man of 2008 is far superior to the current show with only 26 episodes compare to the 47 that Ultimate Spider-Man has. So do I think Drake Bell is the best Spider-Man? He could be if the plot help him show off the emotion depth that we get see every now and then. Now on the opposite end Christopher Daniel Barnes was a great Spider-Man but i can't remember anything about his Peter Parker. I feel that were the Ultimate Spider-Man script fails to show off Drake Bell's depth the 1994 Spider-Man showed far to much depth never really giving us a funny, or relaxed, or even human Peter the character never seem to have fun or be truly happy while being Spider-Man. So yeah same problem as Drake Bell but with a script the so a too serious Spider-Man and an seemingly distant Peter Parker. On the topic of one dimensional Spider-Man scripts Toby Maguire falls in this simply because no matter what happen he would always fall into a depression soon after well any major plot point. Andrew Garfield gets second place for show just more the one side of the wall crawler he think that Peter Parker is "real" with real money problems and family problems. Seeing him as Peter and as Spider-Man was awesome but points come of for having his mask of so much. My number one Peter Parker/Spider-Man is Josh Keaton why because he showed emotion depth and the realism of trying to fit in at school, balancing his life, and the burden of making the hard and sometime selfish choices in his life. Plus is that the plot worked and the show never felt overly crowed while doing it in 26 episodes like a boss. In closing Josh Keaton just showed me the core of the Spider-Man character without ever seem overly dark or cheesy.
