JAKE JOHNSON PROVES THAT PETER PARKER DOESN'T HAVE TO SOUND LIKE A TEEN TO FEEL LIKE SPIDER-MAN

I feel like an older spiderman is more engaging because we rarely get to see heros out of their prime

Love Jake Johnson's fresh take on the role. The man's hands down the funniest Spider-Man we have so far.

The thing that I'll never forget about the first movie is that the guy was ready to die/sacrifice himself to save Miles's universe just like that. It's like he was so depressed about his life and MJ that he just gave up on everything, but then saw a little light with Miles and so decided to sacrifice everything to save him and everybody.

The scene where Peter shuts down the “Great Power/Great Responsibility” mantra breaks my heart. Back when I saw that in the theaters, people around me laughed. But that line just made me so sad. He’s been at it for so long and Johnson’s performance makes Peter sound so tired and frustrated. It’s one of my favorite scenes in the whole movie

“I’ve got good news, we don’t need the monitor” will never fail to make me audibly laugh. Jake crushed it for sure. And honestly, chris pine did a great job as well until his untimely death lol

What I loved was how Miguel used guilt as a way of manipulation; if Uncle Ben was always supposed to die, no Peter needs to feel guilt about not preventing it. Same with every Spidey-tragedy. If it was meant to happen and would destroy the world if it didn’t happen, then Spider-Man can let go of the guilt surrounding it. Miguel offers them a way out. And really Gwen’s tipping point was when she learned her dad was no longer a cop. Her canon event won’t happen, and if it did, it’s the fault of Miguel offering her a place in the society when she wanted to leave home. Rejecting the idea of canon events means every Spider-Man has to accept that the tragedies that shaped them could have been prevented. Not that I think Miguel is doing this intentionally of course. He needs to absolve himself of guilt as much as any of them. He’s just chosen these canon events as a thing to blame and basically a reason every Spidey should be as miserable as he is.

Peter B. Parker made me realize that Spider-Man’s usual sassy quips + being tired 24/7 is the perfect recipe for a dad 😂

I love how you mentioned that he portrayed a loser in New Girl but it was by choice after they revealed that he actually passed the bar yet chose to work as a bartender

I love Jake Johnson''s Peter because it's a jab at Marvel, portraying a Peter if One More Day didn't happen, specially now with them bringing back Mayday and making him an excited father.

Tom Holland does his own stunts and that’s worthy of commendation. The flaws from his Spider-Man don’t come from anything he does it comes from the writing and the insistence that it needs to be connected to everything else in the MCU.

I cannot disagree. He crushed it. This was incredibly well made.

i think Andrew Garfield had the potential to be the best Spider-Man, its really unfortunate he never have the writing to back it up. Like he stole the show during No Way Home, if by some chance he ever has the opportunity to play the character again I think he could take the cake

his spiderman feels like the fun but dorky uncle. like he's your mom's brother

The line when Aunt May says you look tired Peter. Man that hit me so hard knowing what Peter has went through 🥺

Honestly my only issue with the Spiderverse films is that we finally get a perfect adaptation of Peter Parker on the big screen and he's the side character. I need a full Peter B Parker film by rhese writers.

I love the way he delivered the line about seahorses. You can feel his emotions when he says that.

Yeah,Tobey,Andrew,Tom they are Iconic,but Peter B Parker is completely fresh experience,grow up Peter who is really tired from life,and even in this time somewhere inside of him there is hero,it’s not about just beating a villain it’s about growing up taking care of children and I love it,definitely best spidey I ever seen

Oh man, poor Tom. He really tries to bring lot of youthful energy and enthusiasm to the role. Plus, he does the accent.

I always thought Spiderman was... *just fine* but Spiderverse convinced me to actually LOVE Peter Parker. I get it now. Both Jake and Chris Pine really brought him to life.

Jake Johnson is also phenomenal as Spiderman. My respect for him as a VA has increased tenfold after Across the Spiderverse.

Chris pine's spiderman caught me off guard the most. He was honestly incredible.

Another way Jake Johnson is the perfect Spider Man is that when Covid hit, he put out an offer on twitter to make recordings for kids as Spider-Man to help them feel better and he ABSOLUTELY followed through with it, making personal recordings for hundreds and hundreds of kids. My daughter was over the moon and she still has me pull it up and play it for her occasionally.

know this doesn’t count, but peters web is still the most accurate interpretation of a live action spider-man to date.

Dude, this was such a good essay. A very concise one that gets its point across really well. And hell yes, I LOVE JAKE JOHNSON! Good work, man.

Great video essay! Jake Johnson does such a great job portraying the most relatable Spider-Man there is while continuing to fill that superhero role

I like to think that Peter Parker struggled more in fighting villains but not as much in terms of life, whereas Peter B. Parker seems to have suffered more emotionally than in his duty. Peter B. Parker functions as a far more realistic and human Spider-Man, fully portraying yet another unique take on the hero. It’s cool seeing how each and every alternate version of Spider-Man is different from the one we know and Peter B. Parker is just as special.

But animation as a medium also gives Jake an edge over the live-action spider-men: It makes him EVEN MORE relatable and every-man. Abstractions (like animated cartoons, gifs and memes) have been proven to form stronger emotional impacts and increase empathy in viewers. It's easier to see ourselves in a character when there are fewer realistic details to be pulled out of the fantasy and perspective-taking we do when watching a film. It's why animation is an underrated medium in the West. It's ridiculous that so many adults are still afraid of being perceived as childish for liking it

He is my favorite Spider-Man hope he gets his own spin off movie

3:22 I love that you describe him this way because one of my favourite lines in the movie was when Miles' peter groaned and said, "I am so tired." It felt like a line you could easily hear from almost any iteration of the character. It embodies his never-ending struggle while being totally in-character. And the fact that this is supposed to be a spidey in his prime makes you think about just how tired Peter B. is

Peter tossing the monitor always cracks me up

I think another reason Jake Johnson makes a good Peter Parker is that his name is also an aliteration. But seriously, he blends the comedy and tragedy of Spider-Man so well.

Spider-Verse Miles is by far my favorite. He's the only movie Spiderman that becomes Spiderman in a universe where Spiderman already exists, meaning he's like us if *we* became Spider-Man. He knows the story in the same way we know the story. That relatability is hard to match.

Great work dude! I was also hyped to see Peter B. Parker in the new sequel and even though he doesn't have much screen time in it. Jake Johnson performance doesn't disappoint.

"I'll tell you the good news... we don't need the monitor" with the little hand toss? That STILL cracks me up to this day!

Andrews is actually my favorite Spider-Man, the subtleties in his performance just make me feel every emotion he’s portraying and he feels so real. Easily (in my opinion at least) the greatest actor to have the role. It really hurts me that his movies weren’t executed well. I still genuinely love the first ASM mainly for his performance alone. He also carried No Way Home and stole the scene every time he was present

Tom definitely...exists.

I keep thinking why I like Peter B., turns out I like him because I kinda relate to him. I’m tired of many things in my life, been at my lowest but I know I can not stop.

The scene where he see aunt may knowing that his aunt may is dead broke my heart.

One of my favorite things about Jake Johnson, both as Spider-Man and just in general, is that he's still mostly just doing this for fun, and you can really tell with the performances he puts in. There's an interview with him floating around where he talks about how he wound up doing the Tom Cruise Mummy movie, and it was basically he didn't read the script, didn't know what character he was gonna play, didn't even really know what the movie was about; he said yes because it sounded like a weird opportunity, and in the worst-case scenario, he'd wind up with a funny story.

“Tom Holland Spider-Man exists” lmao accurate

Miles is slowly becoming my favorite spiderman.

the editing is on point, i laughed pretty fuckin hard when it cut to "cause spider man always gets back up" and hes in the shower crying.

Jake & Josh's Peter's are definitely my favourite takes on the actual chracter But Jake's Peter being more aged up,& the way he does he plays the actual role is actually perfect (he's also so well written,& loved that "scene" with Miles in ATSV) This video is really well made,some of the best some I've seen on YT for a while Editing is fantastic

first video that I completely agreed with on the spider-man tier list. Thank you for speaking sense good sir

Jakes voice matches Peter B Parkers personality so much and I find is incredible that he is able to embody so much emotion not only through his physical acting in shows and movies, but to also doing it with just his voice is just amazing. I like Miles because he is an anomaly, he doesn't follow canon because he was never meant to be canon, or at least 1610 anyway, so it makes him more of a hero with the mindset everyone has to live no matter who (as he questions about Ben's death and the uncle figure of all the other spider society), rather than let it happen because it's meant to be

Look I do agree with you that Jake is the best Spider-Man because of everything you said… BUT the only actor who’s played Spider-Man who’s literally MADE for quips is Josh Keaton’s Spectacular Spider-Man NO ONE can make quips or deliver them like he does

“Lemme tell you the good news: we don’t need the monitor” has been stuck in my head ever since I first saw the movie

I could not believe you only have 200 views and 800 subs man I thought this was a popular ass channel. Keep it up you’ll go the distance

I am so happy to see someone give Jake Johnson’s Spider-Man some love. he really is the best.

“He’s simply tired” man I felt that

“Good news, we don’t need the monitor” That like kills me every time

The 3 live-action actors did amazing jobs at taking the role and making it their own. Their own unique Spider-Men. Jake Johnson simply IS Spider-Man.

He brings the comedy, drama, friendliness, cockiness, sarcasm, all of it and more. I love the other VA legends, Insomniac Games Yuri Lowenthal, Spectacular Spider-Man Josh Keaton, 90's series (sorry name), MTV series/Shattered Dimensions Neil Patrick Harris, hell even Chris Pine's short lived Peter in ITSV, they're all great, and most of the other voice actors for Peter have done great things for the role

I would die for Jake Johnson ever since he played Nick miller and he CRUSHED the switch to voice acting

That scene when he's crying in the bathtub really resonated with me

This was an excellent analysis. Its actually sad as a lot of people have crticises Peter portrayal in the Spider verse movies as being 'just a loser', but for me as someone whos aeound his age he's the most relatable. Its also good to see a version of Peter who appears to be evolving into uncle ben as opposed to spme rich techy billionaire

jake johnson is just so cool. and his spiderman is just the funniest and most heartfelt. i would not say i like him better overall, just cause i love tobey's version AND i love tom's version. but the way spidey comes to life in these spiderverse movies, is just epic 💕

I’m glad you made that point about him reacting to the “with great power” line when I first watched it in theaters most of the audience laughed and I was like “why are they laughing that’s the saddest thing I’ve heard”

“I'm not convinced I know how to read. I've just memorized a lot of words” - Nick Miller.

You've convinced me that Jake Johnson's Spider-Man is the best Peter Parker, but miles Morales will always be my favorite Spider-Man

Man, Why is every iteration of peter parker so damn good. Spiderman (Tobey Maguire), Amazing Spiderman, MCU Spiderman, Spiderverse Spiderman, and PS4 spiderman are all awesome in their own ways.

The abrupt “the GOOD source material” cracked me up. Also, I’m a big fan of Spiders-man. Thousands of spiders in a suit. The idea cracks me up.

"Let me tell you the good news we don't need the monitor" ........gets me every time.

“Can I come in this way or…do I need to break my own window” That had me dying lmao. Perfect quip

I agree. The dynamic between him, Miles and Gwen is fantastic.

That last mini rant was pure spider-fan

Jake Johnson really makes you feel like Spider-Man

Bro got a bit personal at the end about spider-verse... and I don't blame you it was phenomenal ong

6:21 has me in tears

that cold ones intro made me very happy

I met Jake Johnson in eagle Rock front of O'Reilly. He was already famous then, a lady needed help a jump because her car battery died. Jake was more than happy to helped the lady out. I had to tell the lady that a famous actor helped jumped her car

"tom holland spiderman exists" 💀💀💀💀

No because you're right. Jake Johnson IS The Amazing Spider-Man. He's the character that we know and love from the comics that we grew up with, and his performance the direction for how he is and how he acts, his experiences...This is him. Our Spider-Man.

As soon as I heard him talk I knew I would love him

Spectacular Spider-man will always hold a place im my heart

I do think of this spiderman as the same guy we saw in New Girl xd it’s funny how much they relate, and it’d actually be fun to see a live action universe where they turn into their voice actors. Just imagine seeing Nicolas Cage, Hailee Steinfield, and Jake Johnson as their respective Spider-Man version xd

This is a really good essay on Spider-Man

love the chad intro and max outro lol

We are going to need a part 2 bro

I think Peter B had the biggest character glow-up since the last movie. From a broken-hearted man who was ready to die to save the multiverse. Like, he fully accepted the fact that he was going to die before he gets to see MJ again. And now he's a girl-dad and husband and he loves it. He has a life again, a family again, and now is assured with the fact that he wants to have a family and isn't afraid to mess up.

Jake Johnson's Spidey is ky favourite! loved this video, great work!

Into the Spiderverse made me want kids….well kids with spider powers anyway.

6:37 the transitions on those images to portray your feelings on the actors is just underrated and I wanted to praise it if it was intentional

"Tom Holland Exists" well said.

Frankly I think very similarly. The actor himself is very charismatic and fun, he always puts a smile on my face when I see him perform but the moment he’s behind the animated mask of Spider-Man, he just clicks for me. The character I’ve grown up with all my life was never accentuated quite like Peanut Butter Parker in Into The Spider-Verse. This is even considering Josh Keaton and Christopher Daniel Barnes, who are second and third on my list of best Spider-Men. There’s something about PBP that just makes it work. His performance and I are sorta like sea horses, we meet and we make it work. I think he’s criminally underused in Across The Spider-Verse but that’s okay since the movie isn’t about him. He’s still there and he’s still a shining light in the film, able to make for a funny optimistic Spider-Dad that he needs to be. When he appears for the first time, especially after watching his arc in Into The Spider-Verse, it just makes my grin even wider when I see him. Jake Johnson is the best Spider-Man I can identify and enjoy the most because he’s the most beautiful of all of them.

I loved him in "New Girl" and it's great to hear him in this

4:14 the answer is to live with love understanding and mutual respect it might not turnout what we had hoped or liked- but with these, itll hardly be called a mess

damn you're underrated can't believe you only got 802 subs. you're goin places man

I am so happy he has been getting more recognition as a actor. I was hoping the industry wasn’t going to see him as a one dimension actor on new girl.

Saw Across the spiderverse yesterday. It was sooo good! I absolutely LOVE Jake Johnson as spiderman. Looking forward to the third!

Amazing video, was a great watch. Flowed well and never dragged. You and your editor are great at keeping interest.

Andrew Garfield is hands down my favorite spiderman I can feel the passion he has for the character and i love what they're doing with the spiderverse movies

People drastically mischaractized him in my opinion. Alot of people shit on the portrayal/writing but I thought he was great. You can see he CLEARLY has the skills. He effortlessly navigates everything in the first movie without even breaking a sweat. In the secpnd he outsmarted everyone and casual strolls up on Miles. Great adaptation :)

dude your channel crazy underrated.

Peter B. Parker is like the Raimi Spider-Man 4 we never got.

i wanna see you do a whole ass comprehensive video essay on the new spider-verse, would make for great content!

i just saw the new movie and by god. it surpassed all expectations. i knew it was good but good lord. it had me sobbing. and seeing this vid just made me love it and the original all the more ;; such an outstanding piece of art

This was a good video keep it up I see u making great content

It’s the Spiderman we all need.
