My top 5 portrayals of Spider-Man

And so, everyone, we've actually arrived at my 900th entry and I'm so happy I've made it this far and I already know what I'm gonna do for my 1000th one. I know that's probably thinking too far ahead, but hey, what can I say? Anyway, for my 900th entry, I decided to take a look at my favourite superhero ever and count down my top 5 actors who've played him. Seeing as Spider-Man has had so many amazing actors to play him, it was hard to narrow down just 5 of them. But, thankfully I did and I love these guy's performances as the characters and so many more, so let's get to them and I hope you all like this.
5. Christopher Daniel Barnes:
Starting us off at number 5 is probably the most iconic voice for Spider-Man from the 90's animated series. While it may feel dated nowadays, there's no denying that this version of Spider-Man is one of the most famous animated iteration of the characters and I wouldn't be surprised if this was the most famous Spider-Man voice actor. Plus, not only could Christopher do a great job at giving personality to Spider-Man in the early 90's, but he also supplied all the elements needed for great Spider-Man back in the day that made this version of the character so likable.
4. Nadji Jeter:

While this may not be Peter Parker Spider-Man and while we may not of had a ton of versions of Miles Morales outside of the comics, I think Miles Morales himself is the second best version of Spider-Man considering there're quite a lot of other versions besides Peter. While Shamiek Moore was also amazing and fantastic as Miles in Into The Spider-Verse, my personal favourite version of the character is Nadji Jeter as Miles in the PS4 Spider-Man game from last year. Sure, he didn't become Spider-Man until the end of the game and we didn't see him in the black and red suit he has in the comics, but I imagine he'll do all that in the potential sequel. And as for this version of Miles, I loved him and Nadji was fantastic as him. Miles himself was also really well portrayed in the game and really sympathetic and I hope to see more of him in the sequel game which do also hope happens.
3 and 2. Yuri Lowenthal and Josh Keaton:

It's honestly hard for me to decide which of these two actors I like more as Spider-Man, but something that's not hard to say is that both of them are the perfect voices for Spidey. In terms of video games, last year's PS4 Spider-Man game was easily the best Spider-Man game ever and in terms of animated shows, The Spectacular Spider-Man is by far the best with both portraying the character Spider-Man perfectly. And both Yuri and Josh voiced Spider-Man perfectly as well with bringing a lot of heart to the character while sill making him funny, likable, sympathetic, relatable and entertaining all at the same time. In one moment he could be trying to help his friends and supporting his loved ones and then another moment, he can be dishing out tons of quips to villains and fighting them with a lot of fun. And both Lowenthal and Keaton do an amazing job and I really can't decide which one I like better.
And my number 1 favourite portrayal of Spider-Man is... Tom Holland:
And finally at number 1 is the English actor who not only proved he was able to be just like and just as good as the other actors, but possibly the best out of all of them. Whether it's in the suit or outside it, Tom Holland's take on Peter Parker is likable in every scene and delivers exactly what Spider-Man needs and more. Having finally being a character in the M.C.U, this version of Spider-Man could be more like the comics than a lot of the other incarnations. Not only with the accurate looking suit, but also with the interactions with a lot of the other characters, especially Tony. Tom can also switch perfectly between being a nervous and awkward teenager to a quipping and cocky superhero. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have heart to the character and he do it along with plenty of depth and relatability. In terms of what I could want out of a perfect version of the character of Spidey, Tom Holland can do fantastically. And all that is why Tom Holland is my favourite portrayal of Spider-Man.
