The Amazing Spider-Man may be leaving Netflix in September but these moments from both Andrew Garfield Spidey movies will always make fans cringe.





Spider-Man: No Way Home rekindled debates about which cinematic version of Spider-Man is best. There's the classic choice of Tobey Maguire, Tom Holland's new age MCU take, and the less appreciated yet still amazing Andrew Garfield.


Garfield's appearance in No Way Home may have had people growing a new appreciation for what he did with the iconic character, but many seem to forget how brutal fans were in their opinions about his The Amazing Spider-Man film. Looking back now, Garfield deserved more recognition at the time, yet there are moments from his two movies that make fans cringe.The awkwardness of Peter and Gwen's mutual crushes was one of the more endearing aspects of the first movie. The natural chemistry between Garfield and Emma Stone made their relationship easy to root for, but they still couldn't help but be embarrassingly cringey like many who are young and love-drunk.





The main villain of the first Amazing Spider-Man movie was Dr. Curt Connors, a scientist working on a way to allow humans to heal themselves through cross-species genetics. After his experiment goes wrong, turning him into a giant lizard instead of just allowing him to grow his arm back, he somehow comes to the conclusion that everyone in the city needs to be turned into lizards.


Connors already had an affinity for reptiles, so it made sense that he saw them as the superior species but making it his ultimate goal to turn everyone into lizards felt like an awkward master plan for the very intelligent scientist, especially since that intelligence is retained in his Lizard form. He was more mad scientist than villain.
