* WordOfSaintPaul: Creator/BruceCampbell stated in a [[https://comicbook.com/movies/news/bruce-campbell-marvel-movie-cameos-character-spider-man-doctor-strange-2-multiverse-of-madness-pizza-poppa-mcu/ 2023 interview]] that his cameos in this trilogy and his cameo in ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'' are all the same character, though he didn't specify whether Pizza Poppa is an alternate counterpart of his character in the trilogy or if he's the same character somehow transported to Earth-838.

* BillingDisplacement: Played with; Tobey Maguire is credited as playing "Peter Parker / Spider-Man", but all the actors who play villains in the trilogy are credited first by the character's supervillain name, then their real name, which especially comes across as odd in the third film, where Eddie Brock has far more screentime as himself than as Venom, and "New Goblin" can hardly be said to be a supervillain alter-ego at all.

Creator Chosen Casting is when the casting of an adaptation is influenced by the creator of the work being adapted. If the choice was made by the adaptation's creators, it doesn't count.

Sam Raimi finds the trilogy's memes "hysterically funny.""
** While Creator/TobeyMaguire said his reaction towards the memes are [[https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/ztqlgb/comment/j1eqiz3/ "fairly neutral", he does think the "Bully Maguire" videos are very funny]]. He also [[https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/ztqlgb/comment/j1eu4pb/ loved the little kid who did the dance while dressed up like him]].

** The second film has twins Creator/{{Spencer|List}} and Creator/PeytonRList playing siblings (not stated if also twins) saved by Peter at the beginning. Creator/TobeyMaguire's half-brothers are also in the same film, playing the two boys who give Peter back his mask after the iconic {{Trainstopping}} scene.

* CashCowFranchise: The three movies were huge financial successes. Even the third, which was less well-received by critics or fans than the previous films, was still a success, to the point of being the highest grossing domestic release of 2007, and it was the highest grossing ''Spider-Man'' film worldwide until ''Spider-Man: Far From Home'' took the title 12 years later. That's also the reason why, even after struggling with a [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries reboot attempt]], Creator/SonyPictures didn't let the rights go to Creator/MarvelStudios and only partner with them if it benefits them.
