# Bully Maguire Bully Maguire is a video remix format that pastes Tobey Maguire's symbiote-corrupted Peter Parker from Spider-Man 3 into other films, games, and cartoons so he appears to bully whoever is on screen. The name took hold after YouTuber Aldo Jones tagged the character in a February 2018 Weird Trailer parody, and Matan Animation Studio popularized the edits from 2019 onward. ## Overview Bully Maguire is a video edit format built around scenes of Tobey Maguire playing an arrogant, symbiote-corrupted Peter Parker from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3 (2007). Editors cut those moments into other Marvel films, cartoons, video games, and unrelated movies so it looks like Maguire has walked into the scene to beat up whoever is on screen[3]. The clips lean on Maguire's specific Spider-Man 3 mannerisms: the finger-guns, the strut down the sidewalk, the point-and-mock at strangers, and the piano bar dance. Fans escalated the joke by treating Bully Maguire as an omnipotent multiverse character, with Urban Dictionary entries calling him 'the strongest most powerful being in existence'[2]. ## How It Spread On March 8th, 2018, YouTuber lurilottaspt reuploaded the isolated Bully Maguire scene from Jones' original trailer, and a second reupload followed on March 27th, together pulling roughly 107,000 combined views over the next two years[3]. That fall, a channel named Bully Maguire posted an edit that set Peter's Spider-Man 3 sidewalk dance to Foster the People's 'Pumped Up Kicks.' In February 2019, Aldo Jones posted a three-year Bully Maguire compilation from his Weird Trailer series, which pulled more than 1.3 million views and set off a wave of YouTube reaction uploads. Later that year, Matan Animation Studio became a consistent source of new Bully Maguire uploads with edits like 'Pizza Time for Thanos' and 'Bully Maguire Lifts Thor's Hammer,' both of which spread widely on YouTube[3]. Interest spiked again in September 2020 as Twitter users passed around the Matan Animation Studio clips, and an August 22nd, 2020 Reddit post from user 1BLEES on r/memes cleared 71,000 upvotes. Urban Dictionary entries from that period locked in the running gag placing Bully Maguire above every anime and cartoon character on a power scale[2]. ## How to Use Making a Bully Maguire edit typically means keeping Maguire's Spider-Man 3 audio and body language intact while replacing the background so he appears in a scene from another film, game, or cartoon. Common conventions include using the finger-point, the strut, or the shove from Jones' original trailer cut, then cutting to whichever character is on the receiving end[1]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Bully Maguire?
