This is true in real life too in general. Being a super hero is a really big responsibility but in real life too the more responsibility you take on the more generally you feel overwhelm. Personally I feel happy without a lot of responsibilities
The brilliance of it is that Peter isn’t really making a wrong decision here. He is right when he says that he can’t spend his life living another person’s dream. Which is why the rest of the movie is about him finding HIS OWN reason for wanting to be Spider-Man. The old Spidey, the one driven by pain and guilt, is indeed “no more”, never to be seen again. When Peter chooses to don the suit again, his decision is not driven by self loathing, it is driven by love.
This is the best Spidey version in my opinion. He's brilliant but broke, troubled relationships and villains trying to make his life even more miserable..
When this first came out when I was 5, I didn’t understand why he lost his powers I thought he ran out of webs but as a 22 year old man, I started to relate to this movie a lot especially the character that is Peter from the comics to this movie. Physical health is important but if what’s up there isn’t functioning well, the rest that is physical won’t do well, he was clearly depressed/anxious from the things happening all around him, from losing his best-friend due to Spider-Man, losing the love of his life because of Spider-Man and the fear of endangering the ones he loves because of Spider-Man, the character that is Peter Parker was, in my opinion, portrayed well in this movie. One thing I’ve learned from Spider-Man especially this movie is that life is all about choices and sometimes we’ll have to let go of what made us comfortable, safe or feel good in order to grow.
@@cactus374 come on, you guys treat the comics as if they're some sort of holy scripture like bible or torah, that must be followed 'to the tee'. It's not. Every art form has its own merit, including the movies. These movies simply rock. This is the version of spiderman we grew to love, nobody cared about the comics before.
@@polverine7491 everyone has their own opinion, but this is pushing it, true, no MCU movie has topped this movie yet, but the likes on Infinity War, GOTG and Winter soldier have come really, really close
I love how "somebody else's dream" is indirectly referencing how the dream of uncle Ben was passed down onto Peter through the words "With great power comes great responsibility". It wasn't his dream to be a hero, it was Ben's words that echoed in his mind when he first became Soldier Boy in the first movie, I never noticed that little detail until now even if it was immediately touched on in the next scene.
Fab Five Freddy told me everybody's fly DJ spinnin' I said, "My my" Flash is fast, Flash is cool François c'est pas, Flash ain't no dude And you don't stop, sure shot Go out to the parking lot And you get in your car and drive real far And you drive all night and then you see a light And it comes right down and it lands on the ground And out comes a man from Mars And you try to run but he's got a gun And he shoots you dead and he eats your head And then you're in the man from Mars You go out at night eatin' cars You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too Mercurys and Subaru
@@thefilmwatcher1302 there's a difference between camp and emotional than comedy and action. The storyline and alot of scenes are campy but that's part of how Sam Raimi wanted these movies and the emotional stuff tied to the camp works symbolically.
The weird part is that there are some really funny jokes in the trilogy. I feel like the the mcu spidey movies being comedies isn't a bad thing but the fact it lacks heart and good character moments is what brings it down
I like how when Peter rejects Ben's hand Ben has a sad smile on his face. He understands that Peter is just overwhelmed and tired of being Spider-man he just wants to be a normal person. While he's sad that Peter doesn't want to continue being a hero part of him is happy that Peter is making his own choice on his current situation. Uncle Ben doesn't denounce him or brush him off, he has tears in his eyes but accepts that's Peter's decision to make.
That doctor totally figured it out. If he reads a newspaper at all, he would see the pictures of Spider-Man get taken by Peter Parker and then connecting that to Peter talking about his friend's dream and peter responding "I have a choice"
Peter's photos are printed as anonymous so no one knows who takes them. But the doctor's suspicions would be confirmed the next day when the trashed Spidey suit is all over the papers
@@Pakilla64 Oh you're right, I totally forgot about that. I swear I saw somewhere a newspaper with "taken by Peter Parker" in one of the movies. but maybe that was the "Taken by Eddie Brock" from Spider-Man 3 I'm thinking of.
I kinda wonder if that doctor ever made the connection about that strange patient's visit and then spider man disappearing, like he was walking into the office one day, and then he paused and was like "Wait a minute!"
@@highonthesky7757 i have noticed a lot of people knew he was spidey in the trilogy. But decided not to make his life more miserable by telling it to others
I turned 21 back in April. When I first watched Spider Man 2 with my parents while I was four years old, I cried so much on this part. When it showed that Tobey threw his suit in the trash, I cried and said, "He's not Spider Man anymore! He's my favorite hero!" Then my parents said, "Hey, don't cry. Peter will be Spider Man again. We know he will."
@@Mr.Needle-Hamsterthey did. I didn't watch the parts where it showed Tobey wasn't Spider Man cause of how upset I was when he stopped being Spider Man. But when Tobey's Spider Man suit was gone from the Daily Bugle, my dad said, "Hey! Peter's Spider Man suit is gone, kiddo!" Then I got all hopeful and said, "What?! Does that mean?!" And my dad was smiling and said "Just watch" once it showed Tobey swinging around in his Spider man suit again, I got all happy and excited. And I said, "SPIDER MAN'S BACK!!!" and my parents hugged me and my dad said, "We told u he would be Spider Man again!"
The reason Spiderman is the best super hero is because relatable. I never fought Dr Oc, Rhino, or Electro. I did have troubles with girls, money, and school.
The way he chuckled & took his glasses off when he went to offer advice, especially when Peter said it was "A friends dream" I believe he pieced it together. I think because he felt Peter trusted him enough to speak of it that the doctor decided to play dumb for his sake.
I LOVE the musical storytelling here. It’s not some depressing/downwards version of the usual theme, it’s just a more muted one with less grandiosity. In a way this IS the right thing to do and the music communicates that perfectly on its own.
"I was just a young, unthinking teenager when I first became Spider-Man. But the years have a way of slipping by of changing the world around us. And every boy, sooner or later, must put away his toys and become a man." ~ Parker, Peter (Amazing Spider-Man 50)
😭 Spider-Man 2 will always be my favorite movie and the best movie in the holy trilogy. This scene is so powerful, with great power comes great responsibility. Tobey will always be my Spider-Man.
Because it’s not Ben, it’s Peter debating with himself, but he’s imagining his other self being powered by Uncle Ben, after all, Spider-Man exists because of uncle Ben
Because the friends dream was a horrible lie lol and the smart doctor maybe saw through it. And plus maybe when he read the newspapers the next day and saw that Spiderman Quit. He probably could put 2 and 2 together,maybe idk that's me tho
When I was little, I never understood why he lost his powers. But as I grew older it all fell into place. Sure, the whole emotions tied to super powers is admittedly schmaltzy, but, more often than not, apropos.
Too many things screwing his head I’m not surprise - worrying about doc ock - Harry doesn’t like him - Mary Jane marrying another dude - Can’t pay his rent - Not doing well in school - got fired from his job - and the number one issue out of everything is being spider man
This is why I like Tobeys spiderman more than Tom Holland’s version, when Tom’s Spiderman said he’s nothing without the suit, that lost me and it didn’t made me emotional at all, when Tobeys spiderman lost his powers when he was heart broken, was feeling really sad and was nothing without his powers, that really made me emotional, left me in tears and it was understandable, the power is what makes you what you are, not the suit that rely’s on gadgets, Cliff was brilliant as uncle Ben, R.I.P, this made me emotional
To be fair, Tom Holland's Spider-Man did grow and change from that mindset later in the film. He defeats Vulture with just his own suit. He's a kid after all.
Who would have thought that one of the best version of Spider-Man, who is usually known for his jokes and comedic tone, is a version that’s a lot more serious than any that have hit cinema.
He was burnt out and being Spiderman was taking more than it was giving. He didn't have a friend or ally in the world because he feared if they knew who he was, it would endanger them. He did all be could to be a hero and use his power responsibly. Result? Late to work so not much pay, behind on rent and not much to eat. Always late or missing dates, lost his girlfriend. His friends don't even know who he is anymore. And the newspapers smeared him as a villain. He broke at this point. And he probably lasted longer than I would have.
This is what Peter-Two meant by existential crisis, and the other Peters don’t even realize how mentally and emotionally challenging it was for him. They just heard it but Tobey’s Peter still said it so casually to keep their heads up.
As kids, we saw Spider-Man running out of webs. But as adults, we see a man going through an existential crisis. Spider-Man didn’t “lose” his powers; they were always there but the reason why they weren’t working is because Peter’s mental wellbeing wasn’t there. He was tired of being Spider-Man, he was falling behind in school, and the love of his life was marrying another man. The lesson here is that living a double-life isn’t healthy. You have to make a choice; we always have a choice. In the end, Peter learned to accept that he was Spider-Man. ❤
What's really deep is that Peter took this as a way of seeing "i don't have to be spiderman" thus he lost his powers but when he needed to save MJ he told himself "I need to be spiderman to save her" it was a self actualization that made him think past thinking what he can or can't do
This lesson is definitely gonna play a role in No Way Home. Dr. Strange saying "The problem is you, trying to live two different lives. The more you do it, the more dangerous it becomes. Peter here struggles trying to live both, but learns throughout the movie.
I wouldn’t call it a life it’s more filling a big responsibility he didn’t want. As a hero you always wanna save people and have people look up to you but that itself is a 24/7 job
Cliff Robertson was such a good Uncle Ben. I really miss him. I also miss Tobey as Spider-Man. I really hope he’s in No Way Home, it’ll be like reliving childhood.
this is why being a hero is difficult, almost a curse. for a greater good, to protect the people you care about and love, you have to sacrifice everything about yourself
Peter lost everything that was important to him. He lost his powers, Harry was not his friend anymore, and his girlfriend got engaged to another man. So now, Peter has nothing: no powers, no responsibility, no friendship, and no love.
No matter how spectacular the movements are, or how novel Holland's suit is, the true essence of spiderman is to give the best of himself, living a second life
My head cannon for the doctor scene is that he knew Peter was Spider-Man after telling him, but played along with the "dream" excuse so that he wouldn't add anymore stress to Peter's life.
@@manuelorozco7760 I have fond memories of 2004 from seeing Spider-Man 2 and Shrek 2 because both characters lost their true forms over personal problems.
Danny Elfman’s music for this was absolutely robbed of an Oscar nomination. I would also argue Spider-Man 2 should have been nominated for Best Picture. All these years later & it’s hard to believe this wasn’t considered a top 5 movie of 2004.
One of the only times I've ever been upset in a film is the part where Uncle Ben shows up. He reminds me of my grandad so much I think that's what gets me
@@thefilmwatcher1302 ? This scene is better than anything spider-man related until spider verse dropped with that iconic ass miles scene. Far from home had a couple of good scenes but nothing this emotionally impactful.
@Kimmy Boy He literally fights Mysterio and Vulture alone, wdym help? He didn’t even use Stark tech in the Vulture fight, and yea he’s grown in several other comics, cause they take years after he got his powers. Besides, Peter didn’t need Furys help but Fury needed Peters help. It’s just a trend nowadays to hate on the new Spider-man, hell there are some idiots out there that start to praise TASM movies, they suck, but yes I like Andrews Spidey.
I'd say Spider-Man 3 is based on the Alien Costume Saga, the follow-up to Secret Wars, but yeah. It was Secret Wars that introduced the symbiote suit, so it makes sense.
I’m 25. Sometime in my teenage years I came to realize that Cliff Robertson came back to reprise his role as uncle Ben. And even again in Spider-Man 3 with the dream sequences. I was astounded. Before that I thought it was reused footage from the first movie if that makes sense
Dang I remember being 7 years old I loved this movie because of the action. This is still one of my favorite movies because of powerful emotional scenes like this. Spider-Man 2>All current superhero movies.
I heard someone say years ago that Tobey Maguires Spider-Man is worse than Andrew Garfield’s because of this plot point. They said “andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man stopped being Spider-Man because Gwen died which makes sense because it’s a hard tragedy to get over. Whilst Tobey Maguires stopped because it was ‘too hard’.” And which ever film series and actor is your favourite is completely your thing but that statement is just wilfully ignoring the actual film of Spider-Man 2. He didn’t stop because ‘it’s too hard’ he stopped because his life was falling apart, he had no more friends anymore, he couldn’t hold down a job, his academic life was dying, and on top of all that he was losing his powers. And even then he still goes in to save that child from a burring building. No powers just courage. That’s why he is a hero.
Fun Fact: This part is based of comic book number 50 entitled Spider-Man No More! In the comic, Peter quits being Spider-Man because he has lost respect from citizens, family, friends, and uniformed.
It's so cool to see the continuation of this in spider man 3 He basically became much more light hearted and carefree after spider man 2 shown when he fought sandman
I am a PTSD victim after suffering a chain of one unfortunate event after another for one whole year. One day after experiencing one traumatic event I remembered this scene, I took off my school uniform and puts it in the laundry, with this music playing in my head, just like Peter throwing away the suit, it’s me ‘throwing away’ my uniform in the laundry, with me thinking, “I am just *my name*, I’m *blank* no more.” beforehand
The fact that he was the happiest when he wasn’t Spider-Man really goes to show just HOW much he sacrificed to be a hero..
YOU KNOW HOW MUCH HE SACRIFICED
OUT IS HE?!
He's still my amazing spider man 😍😍
This is true in real life too in general. Being a super hero is a really big responsibility but in real life too the more responsibility you take on the more generally you feel overwhelm.
Personally I feel happy without a lot of responsibilities
@@spideytrilogyclips2531 **angry osborn noises**
The fact he throws it in the trash in he exact same ally where he discovered his powers in the first movie is such a nice detail
Now that just heartbreaking
Plus if you rewatch the scene where he’s wall crawling for the first time, you can see that trash can from the top.
It just like in original comics
Doesn't he discover his powers near his school, which is in Queens? This seems like some ally in Manhattan, given that his rented apartment is there
never noticed
The brilliance of it is that Peter isn’t really making a wrong decision here. He is right when he says that he can’t spend his life living another person’s dream. Which is why the rest of the movie is about him finding HIS OWN reason for wanting to be Spider-Man. The old Spidey, the one driven by pain and guilt, is indeed “no more”, never to be seen again. When Peter chooses to don the suit again, his decision is not driven by self loathing, it is driven by love.
Until the 3rd movie
@@tylerhartley5031You could chalk it up to his ego getting the better of him. It happens ya know?
@@tylerhartley5031Why?

Exactly! Spider-Man 2 is about Peter discovering a more selfless and less shameful way to be Spider-Man and it's great.

This is what Peter-Two meant by existential crisis, and the other Peters don’t even realize how mentally and emotionally challenging it was for him. They just heard it but Tobey’s Peter still said it so casually to keep their heads up.
I have 23 old and keep crying for this epic scene
As kids, we saw Spider-Man running out of webs. But as adults, we see a man going through an existential crisis. Spider-Man didn’t “lose” his powers; they were always there but the reason why they weren’t working is because Peter’s mental wellbeing wasn’t there. He was tired of being Spider-Man, he was falling behind in school, and the love of his life was marrying another man. The lesson here is that living a double-life isn’t healthy. You have to make a choice; we always have a choice. In the end, Peter learned to accept that he was Spider-Man. ❤
This is why Garfield and Holland will never be as good as Tobey.
Tobey Maguire Will Always And Forever Be The Best Spider-Man.
This was one of the best scenes, god damn I love Tobeys' Spiderman
What's really deep is that Peter took this as a way of seeing "i don't have to be spiderman" thus he lost his powers but when he needed to save MJ he told himself "I need to be spiderman to save her" it was a self actualization that made him think past thinking what he can or can't do
This lesson is definitely gonna play a role in No Way Home. Dr. Strange saying "The problem is you, trying to live two different lives. The more you do it, the more dangerous it becomes. Peter here struggles trying to live both, but learns throughout the movie.
I wouldn’t call it a life it’s more filling a big responsibility he didn’t want. As a hero you always wanna save people and have people look up to you but that itself is a 24/7 job
Tbf i don't think he's trying to live two lives, it's just that he feels it's his responsibility cuz he's been given a gift
But in the end, Peter Parker is no more
Everytime I rewatch these movies I just see more and more complexity and depth in the characters
Which is why I’m at the stage of my life where I want a bit of both easygoing fun and complex stakes.
I'm not one to obsess over comic book accuracy but I kinda like that they did this.
Cliff Robertson was such a good Uncle Ben. I really miss him. I also miss Tobey as Spider-Man. I really hope he’s in No Way Home, it’ll be like reliving childhood.
It certainly would be...
Wish granted!
One of the goated superhero scenes ever in the history of the superhero movies.
TOBEY IS AND WILL BE THE BEST SPIDERMAN ❤
This Scene hits me differently after watching Spiderman NWH...
“No uncle Ben I’m Spider-Man no more” hits me so hard
For me, it's seeing the suit in the trash can.
This was best Spider man movie ever. Old Spider man movies are better than new Spider man movies
I feel the opposite but to each their own
this is why being a hero is difficult, almost a curse. for a greater good, to protect the people you care about and love, you have to sacrifice everything about yourself
Danny Elfman really knew how to pull the heart strings man.
Peter lost everything that was important to him. He lost his powers, Harry was not his friend anymore, and his girlfriend got engaged to another man. So now, Peter has nothing: no powers, no responsibility, no friendship, and no love.
That doctor is so caring!!! ❤️
No matter how spectacular the movements are, or how novel Holland's suit is, the true essence of spiderman is to give the best of himself, living a second life
The part when he talks to uncle Ben and throws away his suit, always gives me goosebumps
I dont get how this is so old but so inspiring
what I like about this scene and what many dont see is that the doctor quickly realizes that he is in fact Spiderman and gives him some wisdom
I never reliased heart breaking this scene was until now...
This is so sad!
Whats funny is how he goes to a check up doctor and gets better advice than an actual therapist
He put his suit in the trash instead of burning it because he wanted the whole city to know that Spider-Man was gone.
This movie makes way more sense when you’re an adult
The doctor definitely knew Peter was Spider-Man. He gave him a full physical and everything, definitely saw a few things off with his body.
He was just a broken hero...
❤❤
I feel like even if Peter said he was Spider-Man to his doctor, he would need to keep it confidential.
My head cannon for the doctor scene is that he knew Peter was Spider-Man after telling him, but played along with the "dream" excuse so that he wouldn't add anymore stress to Peter's life.
3:30 one of the greatest shots in superhero movie history
As kids, we couldn't wait till Parker got his powers back and donned his suit.
As adults, we totally understand why he ditched it.
I was 11 when this happened so I can relate to the kids part
@@manuelorozco7760 I have fond memories of 2004 from seeing Spider-Man 2 and Shrek 2 because both characters lost their true forms over personal problems.
@@eec589 I remember that too
Thank goodness for doctor patient confidentiality
“I’m spiderman… no more… no more.”
Thats why he is the goat! The goat!!
Best spider man
Danny Elfman’s music for this was absolutely robbed of an Oscar nomination. I would also argue Spider-Man 2 should have been nominated for Best Picture. All these years later & it’s hard to believe this wasn’t considered a top 5 movie of 2004.
Dude forreal. This easily is a top 3 Superhero film ever
@@m1r__
Top 1
The movie should have been nominated for best adapted screenplay or best cinematography for bill pope
One of the only times I've ever been upset in a film is the part where Uncle Ben shows up. He reminds me of my grandad so much I think that's what gets me
One of the deepest and emotional scenes in the film.
Sam Raimi is definitely an artist with this movie.
If only I knew what pure cinema I was watching as an 11 year old.
This scene alone swallows the entire MCU spiderman
This scene alone swallows anything Spider-Man since Spider-Verse imo.
@@snoozegod8965 So…Far From Home? Spider-Verse is the second latest Spider-Man movie.
@@thefilmwatcher1302 ? This scene is better than anything spider-man related until spider verse dropped with that iconic ass miles scene. Far from home had a couple of good scenes but nothing this emotionally impactful.
@@snoozegod8965 I still like this more than no way home
RIP John Romita Sr
The saddest part was green goblin warned him of this exactly
best scene in the whole series with how emotional it is
Tobey Maguire the GOAT especially knowing the Life of Spider-Man Marvel best
3:12 most saddest scene in all superhero movies 😢
This is one of tthe most relatable, down to earth films I've ever seen and the main character has spider powers.
The doctor was actually right. If you're not right up in your head, it's going to get to you
2:55 his shadow looks like Abe Lincoln
Ya wtf 😂
I really hate how the new spider man has no relationship with uncle Ben. He’s non existent.
New Spiderman is a joke. Spiderman is a confident individual now he’s just a laughing stock who is just seen as a kid
One spide for adult fans, one for teens and one for kids.
@@maniek2207 agreed
@@cobrakaineverdies4888 Cause, Peter parker is a teenager in the comics? Have you ever read one?
@Kimmy Boy He literally fights Mysterio and Vulture alone, wdym help? He didn’t even use Stark tech in the Vulture fight, and yea he’s grown in several other comics, cause they take years after he got his powers. Besides, Peter didn’t need Furys help but Fury needed Peters help. It’s just a trend nowadays to hate on the new Spider-man, hell there are some idiots out there that start to praise TASM movies, they suck, but yes I like Andrews Spidey.
Spider-Man 1: "Amazing Fantasy #15"
Spider-Man 2: "Spider-Man No more"
Spider-Man 3: "Secret Wars"
I'd say Spider-Man 3 is based on the Alien Costume Saga, the follow-up to Secret Wars, but yeah. It was Secret Wars that introduced the symbiote suit, so it makes sense.
R.I.P Cliff Robertson you were the best uncle Ben and always will be.
I’m 25. Sometime in my teenage years I came to realize that Cliff Robertson came back to reprise his role as uncle Ben. And even again in Spider-Man 3 with the dream sequences. I was astounded. Before that I thought it was reused footage from the first movie if that makes sense
0:07 My doctor to me fr
3:14 I’m sorry Peter 😢
Dang I remember being 7 years old I loved this movie because of the action. This is still one of my favorite movies because of powerful emotional scenes like this. Spider-Man 2>All current superhero movies.
I heard someone say years ago that Tobey Maguires Spider-Man is worse than Andrew Garfield’s because of this plot point. They said “andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man stopped being Spider-Man because Gwen died which makes sense because it’s a hard tragedy to get over. Whilst Tobey Maguires stopped because it was ‘too hard’.” And which ever film series and actor is your favourite is completely your thing but that statement is just wilfully ignoring the actual film of Spider-Man 2. He didn’t stop because ‘it’s too hard’ he stopped because his life was falling apart, he had no more friends anymore, he couldn’t hold down a job, his academic life was dying, and on top of all that he was losing his powers. And even then he still goes in to save that child from a burring building. No powers just courage. That’s why he is a hero.
Fun Fact: This part is based of comic book number 50 entitled Spider-Man No More!
In the comic, Peter quits being Spider-Man because he has lost respect from citizens, family, friends, and uniformed.
3:17 when marvel fire's tobey and his iconic suit
It's so cool to see the continuation of this in spider man 3
He basically became much more light hearted and carefree after spider man 2 shown when he fought sandman
I am a PTSD victim after suffering a chain of one unfortunate event after another for one whole year. One day after experiencing one traumatic event I remembered this scene, I took off my school uniform and puts it in the laundry, with this music playing in my head, just like Peter throwing away the suit, it’s me ‘throwing away’ my uniform in the laundry, with me thinking, “I am just *my name*, I’m *blank* no more.” beforehand
Imagine if mcu spiderman threw out the suit Tony gave him
Stark: YOU THREW OUT A MULTI MILLION DOLLAR SUIT?!
😳😳😳
Tobey Maguire: YOU KEEP YOUR (BEEP) VOICE DOWN! THIS IS IT! 🤜🏻 (PUNCH HIS PRIVATE)
Peter: I missed the part where that's my problem.
@TheLatiosnlatias02 That's gotten old.
@TheLatiosnlatias02 That's your opinion. And I won't go into an argument with you over an opinion.
Peter is just tired of this whole life-every victory of Spider-Man, Peter Parker's loss
Peters Doctor seems like a nice person.
The doctor must definitely know peter is spider man after reading the news paper the next day
