There’s really something different in Andrew Garfield’s portrayal of Peter Parker/Spider-Man inThe Amazing Spider-Man. Many criticized he’s too cool to be the resident science nerd because he displayed an interest in skateboarding, and the actor had this rugged appearance in him that one wouldn’t even think he ever gets bullied.
Now, with three versions of the same character, it is not easy to choose which one accurately depicted the Marvel hero because he was brought to the big screen with an amalgamation of personalities, quirks, and the likes that are true to the actor. Garfield, in this case, made his own choice of incorporating some traits that weren’t found in Tom Holland’s or Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man.
Andrew Garfield’s Unique Spider-Man Swinging Style Revealed
A post from a Marvel fan page onYouTuberevealed thatAndrew Garfield’s distinct style of swinging inThe Amazing Spider-Manwas brought about by his love for skateboarding. Eagle-eyed fans would certainly notice that he did quite a lot of tricks while jumping from one building to another, instead of just swinging to reach his destination.
Garfield’sPeter Parkerpreviously showed a scene where he’s practicing skateboarding moves inside a garage. The video’s narrator explained:
He also gets the idea for web-slinging while skating a half pipe and then swinging from a hanging chain so I think he transitioned his love for skateboard tricks into web-slinging tricks.
Now, this is a pretty neat explanation of why Garfield often did exhibitions on air and while swinging. Some fans evenremarkedthat he was the only one who enjoyed being the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man and his fighting style resembled the moves of a spider.
