Editing Green Goblin (Raimi) (section)

===Spider-Man 2 & 3===
Two years after the death of Norman Osborn, his legacy and influence continue to haunt the lives of those closest to him, particularly Peter Parker and Harry Osborn. The strain on Peter and Harry’s friendship grows as Harry becomes increasingly bitter, blaming Spider-Man for his father's death and resenting Peter for refusing to reveal Spider-Man’s identity, despite Peter’s frequent work photographing Spider-Man for The Daily Bugle.

Following Norman’s demise, Harry assumes control of Oscorp’s Research Department and funds Dr. Otto Octavius’s ambitious fusion energy project. However, when Otto’s experiment goes awry, transforming him into Doctor Octopus, Harry’s professional reputation suffers among Oscorp's board members. Harry's obsession with avenging his father leads him to strike a deal with Doctor Octopus, offering him tritium in exchange for Spider-Man’s capture. Upon discovering Spider-Man’s true identity as Peter Parker, Harry is shocked but ultimately allows Peter to rescue Mary Jane, prioritizing her safety over revenge.

Norman’s lingering influence manifests as a hallucination, appearing to Harry in mirrors and urging him to avenge his death. This spectral presence mirrors the dynamic of King Hamlet and Prince Hamlet in Shakespeare’s play, with Norman goading Harry into seeking vengeance. Initially, Harry resists, calling into question his father’s morality. In frustration, Harry shatters a mirror, inadvertently revealing Norman’s secret Goblin lair and the truth about his dual identity.

By 2005, Norman’s hallucination resurfaces, successfully manipulating Harry into becoming the New Goblin. Donning his father’s gear and glider, Harry attacks Peter, but a fight leaves Harry incapacitated and suffering amnesia, temporarily erasing his vendetta. As Harry's memories resurface, Norman's hallucination returns, this time convincing Harry to "strike at Peter’s heart." Under his father’s influence, Harry manipulates Mary Jane into breaking up with Peter and falsely claims to be her new lover, further deepening Peter’s pain.

In a climactic confrontation, Harry battles Peter, now wearing the corrupted symbiote Spider-Man suit. Enhanced by the symbiote, Peter defeats Harry, leaving him disfigured when a deflected pumpkin bomb explodes near his face. However, Harry’s butler, Bernard, later reveals that Norman’s wounds were self-inflicted by his glider, exonerating Spider-Man. This revelation prompts Harry to abandon his vendetta and reconcile with Peter.

In a redemptive act, Harry aids Peter in a battle against [[Sandman (Raimi)|Sandman]] and [[Venom (Raimi)|Venom]]. Though mortally wounded in the process, Harry dies heroically, forgiving Peter and bringing closure to their strained friendship.

Years later, Peter reflects on the tragedy of Norman’s downfall and wonders if creating an Anti-Goblin Serum could have saved him, hinting at Peter's enduring sense of responsibility and guilt over the Osborn family's fate.
