## Bully Maguire

Bully Maguire is the alternative version of Peter Parker's Spiderman from the Spiderman Raimi Trilogy. However, since the characters original incorporation in the spiderman films, the character has branched out and been included in multiple other franchises. Orginally dubbed as one of the film's low points, he has grown in popularity through the later part of the 21st century. Dozens of Bully Maguire's videos have gained more than five million views per video, and some have even gained more than fifteen million views. Bully Maguire has an enormous cult following surpassing that of many superheroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is even rumoured that the character's massive popularity is one of the main reason Tobey Maguire was asked to reprise his role for the the critically aclaimed blockbuster *Spiderman: No Way Home.* Both Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire have expressed surprise and satisfaction at how unforseeably popular the character has become in recent years.

## Origin

Bully Maguire was originally featured in the Raimi film *Spiderman 3* produced by Sony. In the film, an alien symbiote fall from a meteor into New York City, and eventually attaches itself to Peter Parker. The symbiote soon begins to affect Parker's mind, and he begins to act arrogantly and rashly. He adopts a bad boy persona and acts with immeasurable and uncanny confidence, making demands of his boss, dancing throughout streets and pointer finger guns at people.

This was a drastic change from Tobey Maguire's previous portrayal of Peter Parker, who was presented to audience's as a somewhat lovable dork, too pure for this world. Audiences were shocked by this new appearance, and initially the movie received low reviews.

## Renewed Popularity

In the late 2010's, the character who had originally been dismissed, suddenly rose in popularity almost explicably. A youtube content creator uploaded an edited edition of the teaser trailer for the upcoming film: *Avengers: Infinity War.* The purpose of the trailer was to create general comedy. As such various random and seemingly useless characters were edited into the trailer who had no connection with the movie whatsoever. "Emo Peter Parker" as Bully Maguire had previously been dubbed, was featured as well. He comically displayed in dance moves in several serious and dramatic scenes in the trailer.

At one point however, Bully Maguire was featured in the trailer suddenly rushing on screen from out of nowhere, and grabbing his Marvel Cinematic Universe counterpart, and hurling him clear out of the screen. The caption, "Bully Maguire" appeared next to Parker as the screen froze displaying his throw. The original trailer gained millions of views, with several critics even watching the heavily edited trailer to give their thoughts on it. Hundreds of people in the comment sections of the trailer agreed Bully Maguire had undoubtedly been the comical highlight of the trailer. With this reminder of the iconic character, and the favorable and highly comical portrayal, the name Bully Maguire stuck, and the forgotten character soon skyrocketed into popularity.
