Editing Green Goblin (Raimi) (section)

==Personality==

===Norman Osborn's Personality===
Norman Osborn is a charismatic, confident individual with a strong sense of integrity. As a devoted father to Harry Osborn, he occasionally neglects his son due to his unwavering dedication to Oscorp. While Norman shows genuine care for Harry, his obsessive commitment to protecting Oscorp from failure reveals his greed and misguided ambition. These traits are exacerbated by external pressures, including manipulation by Oscorp’s board of directors and the military, pushing him to desperate measures. Despite these flaws, Norman has a fundamentally good heart, as many of his actions are driven by well-meaning intentions, even if they lead to tragic outcomes.

Norman's relationship with Harry is complex. Though Harry often feels neglected and believes his father is selfish, Norman demonstrates his love through moments of pride and support, such as attending Harry's high school graduation and apologizing for his shortcomings as a parent. Their bond is further highlighted when Norman embraces Harry's desire to follow in his footsteps.

Norman also forms a bond with Peter Parker, whom he admires for his intelligence and kindness. Grateful for Peter's friendship with Harry, Norman offers him support after Uncle Ben's death and even proposes a job at Oscorp, respecting Peter's decision to decline. When Norman discovers Peter’s identity as Spider-Man, he struggles with his affection for Peter, initially hesitating to harm him. Before his death, Norman entrusts Peter with a final request: to keep his Green Goblin persona a secret from Harry, showcasing his trust and lingering humanity.

Norman's transformation into the Green Goblin stems from his exposure to the experimental serum, which fractures his psyche. Initially unaware of the Goblin's existence, Norman is horrified upon learning of his actions under the Goblin's influence. Despite his guilt and terror, he is unable to resist the Goblin’s dominance, ultimately losing himself to the darker persona.

In ''No Way Home'', an alternate version of Norman exhibits remorse and fear upon discovering the Goblin’s true malevolent nature. Determined to rid himself of the Goblin, Norman destroys his mask and seeks help from the MCU's Spider-Man. His fragile state worsens when he realizes that Oscorp and Harry do not exist in this universe, but he finds solace in the kindness of [[Aunt May (Raimi)|Aunt May]], who inspires him to view life differently. Norman displays selflessness by assisting Spider-Man in curing other villains and is awed by the technological advancements of the MCU. When cured of the Goblin for good, Norman is devastated by the harm his alter ego caused, particularly to Spider-Man.

===The Green Goblin's Personality===
The Green Goblin is a malevolent, unhinged persona born from the serum that fractured Norman Osborn's mind. Unlike Norman, the Goblin is driven by chaos, destruction, and a lust for power. It dominates Norman's actions, manipulating him into committing crimes and terrorizing New York. In public, the Goblin’s influence manifests through aggressive insults and malicious behavior, while in private, it brainwashes Norman into fulfilling its destructive agenda.

Believing it is helping Norman gain power, the Goblin eliminates anyone who stands in his way. It despises Spider-Man, seeing him as a threat, and targets those closest to him to inflict maximum harm. Initially attempting to ally with Spider-Man, the Goblin's hatred intensifies after Spider-Man rejects his offer.

In ''No Way Home'', the Goblin sees the MCU as a new world to conquer and views Norman as weak and cowardly. It seeks to exploit the MCU Spider-Man’s vulnerabilities, killing [[Aunt May (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Aunt May]] to break his spirit and provoke him into becoming a killer. The Goblin’s cruelty and manipulative nature make it one of Spider-Man's most dangerous enemies, relentlessly pursuing its goal of chaos and destruction.
