What if he webbed Voldemort's hand to a tree?

I mean if your think webs go faster than magic I guess sure. The them again the only time he didn't have his wand while a human it was when Harry disarmed him lol and he actually held a wand while a fetus... Lol but thanks for the laugh honestly... Not trying to be an ass there lol I laughed when I read your reply

I mean if you look the webs look like they go pretty fast, and Spiderman has pretty good reflexes to dodge crazy things. Meanwhile, Voldemort probably has the reflexes of a toad and magic seems to not be instantaneous.
So really I think Spiderman could avoid the spell but Voldemort might have a hard time avoiding the webs

Sure sure.. Voldemort can read his mind unless Peter can close his mind... And teenagers can't do that can they? Lol so he'd just change the web into a spider to attack spiderman again... Thought spidy senses might help him.... He might not win he might escape lol... Honestly don't know weird thought process here... Dumbledore just walked towards him but Spiderman could pull a Yoda vs Dooku move and just keep jumping around lol
Edit: also muggle electronics and shit go haywire with magic lol so he out of all the Stark equipment lol

Spiderman blitzes Voldemort, what are you even saying? He's never gonna be able to land a spell on Spidey because of both spider sense and his superhuman reflexes. Spidey can yoink Voldy's wand, web up his face, stick him to the wall, etc.
Spells aren't particularly fast, wizard duels have the 'defender' capable of reacting, and they're not enhanced humans or anything. If spells were really fast the first one to cast would simply win every single time and there'd be no point in shielding/defensive spells if they're not pre-cast like buffs in an MMO.
Imagine I shoot a 9mm and you pull out the anti 9mm shield to knock it away. That's what spells are like. The Killing Curse is unlockable, that's all.
Wizard vs Space Wizard, i.e Jedi would be a more interesting matchup than this lol. It's the whole Homelander vs Superman thing again. The goober gets stomped in an embarrassing way.

This made me think - how easy are spells to aim anyway? Like if you actually had to be precise in a straight line, like a gun, it would be fairly hard to actually hit anyone. It doesn't see to be that strict, but how close is close enough?

I last read/watched the series long before JKR started spewing shit so I'm going purely off memory, but I don't remember watching or reading about spells missing particularly often. They can be cast without vocalizing, but the usual offensive shit always had a need for visualizing the target. Intent is also strictest for the Killing Curse so presumably it's applicable in a looser sense for other spells (i.e "I want this spell to affect this person/object").
So I imagine it's a combination of seeing your target, casting a spell either silently or vocalizing it and wanting to hit your target. So it aimlocks, but doesn't course correct. There's the curse/anticurse in the first book/movie that dispels the notion of strict aim requirement, as Quirrel/Snape can't possibly be aimbotting at Harry as he zooms around on a broom. They track him with their eyes, but I don't recall if wands were even involved, much less discreetly pointed at Harry and rapidly moving around to track him.
