On Tuesday, April 15, Twitter erupted into benevolent discourse about which "Spider-Man" movie is the best. The original wave of discussion appears to have stemmed from a @DiscussingFilm tweet, which asked people to rank all "Spider-Man" movies from best to worst. From there, the discussion shifted to a full-on, Twitter-wide ranking of all eight films, boosted in part by the news that "Spider-Man" and "Spider-Man 2" director Sam Raimi was confirmed to direct the upcoming "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness."

A few titles from the "Spider-Man" canon appear to have risen to the top: "Spider-Man 2," which stars Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker, and the animated "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse," which features Shameik Moore as Miles Morales. Both were trending in the United States at points throughout the day alongside other "Spider-Man" films like "Spider-Man: Far From Home," which features Tom Holland in the titular role.

After the titles started trending, the discussion shifted more towards general "Spider-Man" talk and appreciation rather than strict ranking, with plenty expressing their love for the less-recent series starring Maguire or Garfield alongside praises for Tom Holland's MCU Spider-Man and the animated "Spider-Verse."
