One Marvel's Spider-Man 2 player tried their best to capture photos reminiscent of the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movies. Many fans consider Marvel's Spider-Man 2 to be one of the best games that the famous web-slinger has ever been a part of. With the variety of outfits, options, and improvements it has over the previous entry, that claim may prove true. Granted, some gamers also enjoy the simpler things, such as the game's Photo Mode.
Some fans have fun with Marvel's Spider-Man 2's Photo Mode by recreating scenarios found in movies and comic books, or just looking for plot holes in general. One such case was when a player questioned how Peter Parker's neighbors would react to Spider-Man regularly showing up next door. Others used the mode to shoot pictures of the wonderful landscapes and the awesome visuals. However, one nostalgic fan may have missed the 2000s, as they did an amazing photo shoot in-game.
Reddit user ashashin tried to recreate the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movie posters in Marvel's Spider-Man 2. As posted on the PlayStation subreddit, ashashin showed their own take on the three film posters using the in-game Photo Mode. While the pictures themselves weren't completely accurate, many from the comments section praised the intent and showed love for the photos. Some people started referencing many of their memories of Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man, including citing some lyrics from the movies' soundtracks.

One user named hydeeho85 said that the take on Spider-Man 3 was their favorite. They even explained that the photos were well done because of how the photo composition was. However, they also noted that part of the difference was in the dramatic vanishing points, which are more common in comic book frames to illustrate drama. Still, all the photos were great in representing what many consider to be some of the best Spider-Man movies to have come out.
With Photo Mode becoming quite an enjoyable side activity for more players in many titles, it's not too surprising that gamers are finding more uses for it. In turn, Insomniac has been working hard to keep the mode consistent and fun in the franchise, as many fans consider the Marvel's Spider-Man titles' Photo Modes to have some of the best features. The low-risk, no-pressure enjoyment that Photo Mode brings allows fans of the game to be really creative, but it also allows the game's visuals to be showcased to their fullest.
