About

James Franco Staring at Tobey Maguire is a two-panel image macro image based on a scene from Marvel's 2007 super-hero film Spider-Man 3. In the meme, the meme's author expresses feelings of unknowingly being plotted against or judged.

Origin

On May 4th, 2007, Sony Pictures released the film Spider-Man 3.[1] In the film, Peter Parker's longtime friend Harry Osborne learns that Peter (portrayed by James Franco and Tobey Maguire, respectively) was involved in his father's death. In the film, Osborne glares at Parker, who is enjoying a musical performance by his girlfriend Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst), from the mezzanine of a theater (shown below).



The earliest available usage of the meme was posted on July 22nd, 2019 by Redditor [5] user ryatr.

The post received more than 17,000 points (97% upvoted) and 140 comments in less than one year (shown below).
