After defeating the sequel’s many villains, Spidey slings a web to catch a falling Gwen, but the web catches her a millisecond too late. It’s hardly disappointing that audiences won’t get to see how the conspiracy with Peter’s parents turned out, but The Amazing Spider-Man 2 left a huge plot thread hanging: Gwen Stacy’s death. There were some missteps in the storytelling, like the infamous “Spider-stalking” subplot, but his performance always embodied Peter’s warmth and sensitivity beautifully. While Holland’s Spider-Man has since become a beloved version of the character and his MCU solo movies have arguably all been much stronger comic book movies than either of The Amazing Spider-Man films, it’s always been a shame that Garfield’s tenure in the role was cut short.

Garfield’s Spidey needed No Way Home more than Maguire’s, because his Amazing Spider-Man series was cut short. But that felt more like a victory lap than a necessary continuation of his story, because Sam Raimi got the opportunity to complete his trilogy and, with it, the arc of his incarnation of Spider-Man. Maguire’s Spidey acts as a wise mentor to his two younger counterparts and saves Holland’s Spidey from making the biggest mistake of his life.
