My problem with 2017 MSM’s Harry and Peter (Spoilers ahead)

As much as I’m constantly praising MSM for their portrayal of Peter and Harry’s relationship, I do have one major issue with the show in the context of Peter and Harry (and many more in the grand scheme of the show if I disregard the platonic and romantic parksborn content).  There is a huge lack of payoff.  Let me explain:

The show hinted that Harry may have been sick like his mother, or at the very least, he was struggling with his health.  All of his energy would occasionally, suddenly drain, and Harry would pass out.  The show used this as a plot device, but once season 1 was over, it was forgotten, brushed aside as Harry not adjusting to the superhero lifestyle.  But this was a throw-away line that Harry used to keep Peter from worrying, those symptoms were extremely concerning and would have made for a great storyline.  

There are two storylines I could see happening, the first one is the shortest of the two. If the showrunners wanted to keep the plot short, they could have explained this through Norman.  Norman was using Harry’s ill health to manipulate and gaslight him, therefor, it wouldn’t be illogical to place the blame on him.  While a dark idea, it could have been possible that Norman was drugging his son to worsen his health for the reasons just listed.  This would have, not only, explained what I view as a major hole in the storytelling, but also added to the overarching plot of Norman being a terrible father and a terrible person.

The second possible fix that I can think of, simply off the top of my head, is the one with the most emotional payoff.  If the show had waited, if they had kept the storyline going throughout the seasons, it would have given us so much payoff when they finally decided to address it.  

The first season of any show is the basic blueprint for what the entire show should be at it’s core; therefor, from that blueprint, we learned to expect Harry to be a staple.  The first season was not a story about Peter Parker, not even Spiderman.  The show was about Peter Parker and Harry Osborn, both together and separately, it was about their journeys and how life continued to bring them together.  In season 2, the show threw Harry aside the moment they were done with the big bad’s storyline, his father’s storyline.  He simply disappeared to “Europe” for half a season, no explanation for his ailment.  While I don’t necessarily hate this concept, many people, including myself, isolate during rough emotional times, he should have never been forgotten. 

If the show wanted Harry to isolate to continue his father’s work, they should have shown us that.  We didn’t need a mid-season reveal.  I felt that that took away from the show immensely.  Personally, I’ve seen Spiderman tv shows, and MSM is nothing special there.  What drew me to the show was the depth that they gave the supporting characters.  I exclusively watch the episodes with Harry Osborn, because I’ve seen Spiderman before, I haven’t seen Harry Osborn like this.  The show should have continued Harry’s storyline separate from Peter, that way, the emotional payoff, when Harry’s actions and motives are finally revealed to Peter instead of the audience, would have been intense.

Finally, if the show wanted to pit Harry against Peter in a major showdown at the end of the show, (obviously keeping Harry redeemable, because we all stan a hurt but not evil Harry Osborn) it would have been the first on-screen adaptation of their relationship to truly, successfully, pull the green goblin storyline off.  Raimi-verse did it well, but MSM could have done it perfectly if they set themselves up for it.

At the end of the show, Peter could learn that Harry has been sick, and with the seasons of setup, it would have been heartbreaking.  The reveal would be the thing that enables Peter to understand where Harry’s motives have been, and it would be the thing that could save him from the dark path he was going down. 

Even if the show wanted to avoid any more Harry-Peter conflict, it would have been gut-wrenching to discover after seasons of build-up that Harry has been secretly sick, even if the ailment isn’t life-threatening and only life-altering. 

The moral of this story is, the show needed more consistency and a larger, more long-term plan for the show, because the best shows, regardless of the target audience, are the shows that plan their entire series out and don’t leave plotlines hanging with no explicit or implied explanations.  Avatar the Last Airbender is the perfect example of a kid’s show that will remain legendary because of the consistent and thoroughly developed and explored plot.

Harry Osborn fundamentally comes accross to me as emotionally mixed up. I don't think he can fully understand or express the full breadth of his love and anguish, and so his bottled up emotions come out as bitterness and anger. And who can blame him after years of his youth were spent grief stricken, pained, and isolated? I mean, things were going so well for him! But suddenly, from his point of view, everything he wants is within his view but so out of reach; the Emily-May Foundation, his own health, his father's love, and most of all, Peter. Everything he covets is being taken away. Then he hears his mother tell him to make his dream come true. The same woman that said Harry and Peter make each other better. It kills me that the integral caveat of Harry's dream is that he wants–or even needs–to be united with Peter. To heal the world together. He finally has the chance to be strong and change the world for the better, but that's not enough. It means so much that his pain manifested through Venom not as a need for vengeance, but as a sheer certainty that he and Peter will be together. Peter is undeniably Harry's favorite person, and "brothers" is probably only a sliver of how he feels. Either way, it's evident that Harry loves Peter, terribly. His love for Peter gave him the strength to suffer through years of medical treatments, and it gave him the strength to fight past Venom and tell Peter that he doesn't want to suffer anymore. I think he already knew that Peter loved him, but at the end, he got to hear it. And in his last fading moment, he is united with Peter, and they heal the world together.

I have nothing more to add. I'm just speechless at this point. Their love healed the world. Thank you Insomniac Games.
