Then there’s Harry, Peter’s best friend who becomes the New Goblin. His grievance? He thinks Spider-Man killed his father, Norman Osborn. Spoiler: he’s wrong, but Harry doesn’t know that because Peter lies to him for years. Classic superhero mistake.
Harry goes full amnesia, then gets his memory back, then loses his memory again, then shows up with a glider and pumpkin bombs. It’s exhausting. He’s not evil—he’s grief-stricken and manipulated by his father’s ghost. (Yes, Norman’s ghost literally talks to him. This movie is wild.)
By the end, Harry sacrifices himself to save Peter. So he’s a villain? Or a tragic hero? Honestly, he’s just a guy who needed a good friend and a hug. Peter was too busy with his emo dance moves to notice.
