Alright, change of subject then!

You know, on our Marvel films subpage I don't really have any issues with its candidates.. except for Norman Osborn. I know we discussed him pretty in-depth a while back, but in spite of all his bad traits, his love for Harry later on in the film strikes me as being a little too genuine, especially since his final words were him begging Peter not to tell Harry about him being the Goblin and doing all those awful things. I know it ultimately complicated matters and led to Harry wanting to get revenge on Spider-Man, but I don't see that as his intention so much as him not wanting to hurt him.

It just seems to me that this Norman is a lot closer to pre-90's Norman from the comics where he was still sympathetic and genuinely cared for his son. I feel that by my standards, a Complete Monster incarnation of Norman would hurt, attempt to murder, or otherwise do other awful things to Harry like he did later on in the comics and in The Spectacular Spider-Man.

But eh, ultimately I might just be missing some bigger piece of the picture, and you'll probably discuss it in the upcoming "Keepers" topic on that page.
