Error in the "In other media" section

There seems to be an error in the "In other media" section of the article, it correctly says that Tobey Maguire is on the left, but it incorrectly says that Andrew Garfield is in the center while Tom Holland is on the right, when in fact, it's the opposite way around. It is supposed to say that Tom Holland is in the center while Andrew Garfield is on the right. KennedyScottLeon (talk) 09:05, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

Main protagonist

Can one of you all edit Spider-Man as the main protagonist of the Marvel Universe soon? 2600:387:F:5C32:0:0:0:7 (talk) 20:17, 22 March 2025 (UTC){{sock vote|Jinnifer}}

:Do you have any reliable sources to support this assertion? Trailblazer101 (talk) 20:32, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

::Look him up everywhere including Fandom and he is the most successful superhero in film industry. Huluvbu (talk) 20:45, 22 March 2025 (UTC){{sock vote|Jinnifer}}

:::It's what Wikipedia says. Huluvbu (talk) 20:49, 22 March 2025 (UTC){{sock vote|Jinnifer}}

::::"most successful" in film is not the same as the "main protagonist" of a fictional universe, of which one could argue there are many. The films have nothing to do with this. Trailblazer101 (talk) 20:55, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

:::::Well he has been in comics more times then any other hero saving the day the world with great power comes great responsibility. Huluvbu (talk) 20:58, 22 March 2025 (UTC){{sock vote|Jinnifer}}

::::::He's right. 166.194.158.23 (talk) 20:58, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

:::::::Marvel has been focusing more on him and the Avengers. 166.194.158.23 (talk) 20:59, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

::::::Without any reliable sources to back up any of these claims, they cannot be added. Trailblazer101 (talk) 21:00, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

:Someone mind reverting this weird change? By no means is Spider-Man the "protagonist" of Marvel and the reasoning provided for the change is laughable. Abcidee (talk) 12:23, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

::Seriously? Again?! I've reverted them and reported the sock. Trailblazer101 (talk) 12:32, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

:::All of the accounts supporting the “main protagonist” view are LTA User:Jinnifer accounts and they’ve been trying to add this to numerous article for years. NJZombie (talk) 12:55, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

::::I figured as much. That is why I have requested ECP for this article to prevent this LTA from being allowed to continue. Trailblazer101 (talk) 13:03, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

:::::In the future, you can report obvious Jinnifer accounts at WP:AIV as opposed to WP:SPI. They've been getting reported there for the past two years now due to the severity of their abuse. NJZombie (talk) 13:29, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

::::::Ah, good to know. I was not immediately aware of that and only recently became aware of their actions. Trailblazer101 (talk) 13:41, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

Adding some more clarification of Ditko and Kirby’s contributions to the character’s creation

The section on Spider-Man‘s creation does a very good job laying out the different sides of the story, and especially gives good coverage to the contributions of Ditko and Kirby.

I think it might be best to mention that ambiguity regarding the creation of the character, mainly as a way to introduce that the topic isn’t so cut and dry.
