Thoughts about Norman and Harry Osborn's Relationship in Spider-Man 2002

Hey guys. I know it's been a long time since I made a post. I really should do better. I thought I would make another meta post about the Spider-Man 2002 movie. This time, I thought I'd share my thoughts on Norman's relationship with his son Harry.

We don't get to see much of their relationship on screen, but we can tell it's strained. We know that Norman is a workaholic and was not around much while Harry was growing up. And while we don't know for sure what happened to Emily, Norman's wife, it might be safe to assume that she passed away when Harry was young, which drove Norman to become even more of a workaholic than he already was.

We know from the scene where Norman drops Harry off for a field trip, that Harry doesn't want to be seen differently by the other kids. Norman mentioned that up until going to the same school as Peter, Harry flunked out of every private school Norman sent him to. We can tell that Norman places a lot of high expectations on Harry, and he's disappointed by Harry's poor performance in school. I've wondered if Harry might have ADHD and had a really hard time at those pretigious private schools. I think he might've felt a lot of pressure in that type of educational setting and probably didn't fit in with the other kids. He didn't seem to like being in those schools. But he went along with it because he wanted to make Norman happy.

I think Harry knew he'd have to put so much effort into things the other kids did so easily and it made him feel very discouraged. In addition to the high expectations placed on him by Norman, he felt like nothing he did would ever be good enough for Norman. I do think Norman had good inentions. He only wanted Harry to have the best education possible, but he doesn't realize that he can come off as harsh. And if Harry does have ADHD and Norman doesn't know, he wouldn't be aware that Harry is putting all his effort into everything he does which makes Norman's criticisms even more hurtful.

When Harry tells Norman those schools weren't for him, I think he was trying to tell Norman he only went along with it to make Norman happy. But Norman genuinely thinks those schools were good oppertunities for Harry. Norman tells Harry not to be ashamed of who he is, but Harry doesn't want to be seen as the uppity rich kid by the other kids. Just when Harry is about to open up to Norman about something, he stops. It was likely because he thought Norman wouldn't understand.

I think Peter helped Harry with his homework a lot and helped him get through high school in general. Peter was probably one of the few people who didn't judge Harry throughout both of their lives. A few other things that made me wonder if Harry might have ADHD were when Norman had to bring Harry his backpack because he left it in the car. Or the fact that Norman would make surprise visits to Harry and Peter's apartment to inspect it to make sure it wasn't getting too messy.

While their relationship is strained and Norman's comments or critiscisms can come off as hurtful to Harry, I don't think he meant to hurt him. Ultimately, I think Norman does love Harry and wants the best for him. It's too bad we don't get to see more of their relationship on screen or allusions to what Harry's life was like growing up. I think it would've been nice to have a little more context.

Y/N being best friends with Peter and MJ, later getting introduced to Otto, Norman, and Harry. Then Y/N makes them friendship bracelets since they’ve already done it for Pete and MJ

[creelmalfoylaufeyson69]

Lonely souls 1/?

Warnings: mention of death

Y/n was sitting down next to her window with hot chocolate in her hands

She watches the snowflakes fall down in groups

She then looks away and notices her hands were shaking

Y/n places her hot chocolate down on her table and then decides to go into her room

Ever since her friend’s backstabbing her, she’s been alone

Her friends literally tried killing her until Spiderman saved her

She had decided to no longer trust anyone that tries to be in her life because of this

The phone going off got her out of her train of thought

Of course she hesitated to answer, but she answers her phone that was on her nightstand that was right next to her bed

“Y/f/n speaking, who might this be?” She asked now regretting saying her full name

“This is Norman Osborn to inform that you couldn’t get the job because of recent events” Norman Osborn says and that let Y/n let out a big sigh

“I understand Mr Osborn” she says and almost hangs up when he says that he could help her start out her own business

“Why should I trust you? Isn’t because your a rich guy who thinks he has control over everything?” She asked him which made him understand why she was acting this way towards him

“That’s fair, but if you ever reconsider you have my number” he says which surprised her since most people would be dicks about it

“Okay sir” she says and ends the call

Norman had hoped she would take his offer since he was lonely too since he had lost his son recently 

It was hard for Norman to cope as well since not many people liked him for him

Norman was also intrigued by Y/n since he felt extremely bad for what happened to her

He wanted to gain her trust, but he knew damn well that would take time even if she didn’t take his offer

He had already had a plan b in mind if this plan didn’t work out

The next plan was to take her out on a nice dinner, but he realizes how that can intertwined with his current plan

Norman had realized he had a crush on her

That was odd for him since he hadn’t had a crush on anyone since Harry’s mother

He felt like a teenager again because of her

Norman’s thoughts get interrupted by his phone

He answers it and was surprised to hear her voice saying that she’ll take his offer

It only took her much time of overthinking to commit to this

Norman smiles and says ‘Great!’

It was like she knew he was smiling on the other end

She had decided to only trust Norman… well not trust him, but more like to show her he’s not a bad guy like her old friends were

Fuck it I'm bored so here's a ranking of different Peter Parkers by how Jewish they are

Dead last, obviously, is MCU!Peter Parker. This version of Peter is the farthest from comic canon to the point of being almost unrecognizable at times. Also, Tom Holland answered the question "is peter parker Jewish" in a Wired Autocomplete Interview a while back with a very baffled "no", cementing him forever as my sworn enemy. So he's actually the only peter parker who, at least by word of God, is canonically NOT Jewish. -1000000/10

Next up is Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker. I think this Peter is... fine, at least he's much closer to comic canon than MCU!Peter, but honestly that's not saying much considering how far the MCU strayed from comic canon or even the spirit of comic canon. But like overall, Sam Raimi's movies just aren't particularly interested in presenting Peter as Jewish, so, eh. 1/10

By far the most Jewish of live action Peters is TASM!Peter, also by far the most comic accurate of live action Peters. I'd be remiss not to mention the fact that Andrew Garfield is Jewish, and he understands the character so fucking well. He stated on record that he played Peter as Jewish and that he sees Spider-Man as an inherently Jewish character:

However, the Webb movies still do not textually define him as Jewish, and the best parts of Andrew's Peter's Jewish subtext are better when viewed in light of the comics. Overall, 6.5/10

Next up is the original, our beloved comic book Peter, pictured here saying Happy Hanukkah in a panel from Matt Fraction's Hawkeye. Comic Peter is one of the most heavily Jewish coded comics characters of all time, which is saying something considering how Jewish comic books are as a medium. Obviously he was created and often written and drawn by Jewish writers and artists, but beyond that his driving ethos and values are incredibly Jewish, and as a bonus he's constantly sprinkling Yiddish and Jewish phrases into his speech, alongside things like the above panel where he outright acknowledges Jewish culture in a scene where everyone else is saying merry Christmas. However, despite the extremely heavy coding, Marvel Comics are fucking cowards, and he has yet to be confirmed Jewish, so I must give him a measly 8/10.

Finally, the cream of the crop, the most Jewish of all Peter Parkers, Into the Spider-Verse's Peter B. Parker my beloved!!! Peter B. is voiced by Jake Johnson, himself a Jewish actor, and is a phenomenally accurate representation of comic book canon - but he also has the unique quality of being canonically, textually, in the actual movie Jewish! It's a bit of a blink and you'll miss it scene, but when we get introduced to Peter B. in his "one more time" segment, we see his wedding to MJ, where he steps on a glass. This is a Jewish minhag - custom - meant to represent the destruction of our Temple and Jerusalem, as well as remind us that sorrow and joy come intertwined, and is one of my personal favorite Jewish customs. It's a phenomenal moment in the best Spider-Man movie, and while this version of Peter would have been my favorite film version regardless, his Jewishness absolutely pushes him even further up. 13/10, no complaints

What's he looking at?

[notebookpapers]

the contrast between raimi trilogy doc ock and spiderverse doc ock is so funny bc raimi trilogy is like: I just wanted to use my science for good…. I was corrupted by these machines meant to make the world better…. I cried once I was healed bc I had almost forgotten how it felt to be in control of my own mind… my own actions…… meanwhile spiderverse doc ock is like: hm. i think I should get to be a little evil I think. as a treat

Norman Osborn & Daughter reader: He Loses His Temper in an Argument About Peter (Spider-Man 2002)

A/N: Hey guys. Yes, I’m still alive. I’m sorry I haven’t written a one shot in awhile. Things have been really hectic and I moved into my own place. I haven’t had much time to write, but I thought I would write this brief one shot. In this one shot, Norman and the reader get into an argument about her hanging out with Peter after being told that she (and Harry) aren’t allowed to. This is sometime after his Goblin transformation, where he’s fighting his darker half. If you read closely during the argument, the Goblin briefly comes out. Harry intervenes before things get too intense. Warnings: Norman loses his temper, the Goblin comes out and starts to become violent, but Harry intervenes. References to Norman being abused (not sure if it’s canon), ect. I hope you like it 🙂

You and Harry had just gotten back from visiting Peter. Ever since Norman’s odd behavior at Thanksgiving dinner, he told both of you that you weren’t allowed to see Peter. He said it was for your own safety. He said he didn’t know what would happen if you were out with him. It made no sense, but he genuinely seemed to be afraid that something might happen. Of course that didn’t stop the two of you from hanging out with Peter. You were about to go upstairs when the living room light turned on.

”And just where have you two been?” Neither of you said anything and you knew you’d been caught. “Well?” You still didn’t answer. “Were you seeing Peter after I told you not to?” Harry spoke up first. “Dad, Pete is our friend. Why is hanging out with him a problem now?” Norman took a deep breath. “I told you to stay away from him for your own safety.” “Dad, Peter isn’t dangerous. We’ve been friends with him since we were kids. You can’t expect us not to hang out with him just because there’s danger in the world.” You were a little more assertive than Harry. You usually had to stand your ground, so giving pushback to others wasn’t new to you, and giving pushback to your father was no exception.

Norman was trying very hard to keep it together. Fighting his darker half was becoming much more difficult. There they go again, Norman. You’ve asked them not to see Parker in an effort to protect them. They disobeyed you. They walk all over you. They cross you at every turn. It’s a problem that needs to be corrected. Don’t be a coward. Let me take over. Let me show them what happens when they don’t listen to your warnings. The Goblin cackled as Norman struggled internally. “Dad, we’re going to keep seeing Peter.” You said, once again being insistent. “No you won’t. I said you can’t see him anymore. It’s too dangerous, and that’s final!” You rolled your eyes. “He’s our friend, not yours. We’re not going to not see him just because you’re afraid something might happen! Come on, Harry.”

That was when Norman snapped. “Don’t you dare walk away from me! This conversation isn’t over!” For some reason, his voice was different. He didn’t sound like himself at all. He grabbed your arm from behind and pulled you back. His grip was so firm, it hurt. “Ow! What are you doing? Dad, stop! You’re hurting me!” His grip wasn’t loosening. Harry saw Norman’s other hand raise up. “Dad, no!” Harry rushed over and stopped Norman’s left hand from making contact with you. Norman snapped out of it and quickly let go of your arm. He seemed like he didn’t know what just happened. He saw you rubbing your arm, and was horrified. “Oh no, Y\N. Baby, I’m so sorry. I didn’t…” “Leave me alone!” You ran upstairs to your room and slammed the door shut.

Harry went over to Norman. “Dad, what just happened? What was that? You’ve never done that before. What’s going on? You haven’t been yourself lately. Is it stress at work?” Norman took a breath. “I don’t…I don’t know, son. I can’t believe I almost hit your sister. I would never lay a hand on either of you. I swore I wouldn’t! I need to talk to Y/N.” Harry nodded and went upstairs. Norman went upstairs to your room. He knocked on your door and opened it. “Hi, honey. Got a minute?” You shrugged. “It’s your house.”

Norman sat behind you on the bed and pulled you close to him. You tensed up. He could tell you were afraid and it felt like someone punched him in the gut. “We really need to talk about what happened. I lost my temper. It seemed like no matter what, I did, I still somewhat ended up turning into him. Your grandfather.” “Sometimes he would lose his temper and hit me. Sometimes for no reason.” “Grandpa hit you?” Norman nodded. “I swore I would never lay a hand on you or Harry and I almost…” Norman was struggling to keep it together. “Sometimes, I’m not myself. You can’t tell anyone about what I’m about to tell you, not even Harry.” “But why?” “Shhh. Just let me tell you, okay? One night at Oscorp, I tested an experimental formula on myself to keep receiving funding for projects. Since then, this other personality has been taking over and doing terrible things that I have no control or memory of. That’s why I wanted you and Harry to stay away from Peter. I noticed in the papers about the Green Goblin’s attack that Peter was there. I’m worried if you hang out with Peter, the Goblin will attack both of you. I couldn’t live with myself if that happened.”

You swallowed thickly. “So you’re saying it wasn’t you lashing out and squeezing my arm? It was the other personality?” “Yes. That’s why I need you and Harry to stay put until I come up with a cure, okay honey?” Norman cupped your face and kissed your forehead. “I’ll be back soon, I promise.” He left in a hurry. You were more scared for him than angry now, but the sooner he got rid of the Green Goblin, the better.
