Harry’s Destiny, Spiderman 2. Harry Osborn has always known that Spiderman killed his father Norma, but it wasn’t til he found out his father’s Green Goblin paraphernaila in his hidden lair that Harry discovered what his destiny would be. He certainly wasn’t the businessman his father was, but he wears the Goblin gear in the next Spiderman movie.
The Window, Spiderman 2. Peter Parker finally won Mary Jane Watson’s heart when he revealed to her who he really is. It looks like they’ll be having a happy life together when he gets called by trouble towards the end of the movie. Mary Jane watches Spiderman swing across the city from her window as she thinks about whether their relationship was for the best or not.
The Human Spider, Spiderman. Peter Parker didn’t want to call himself “Spiderman” but the emcee at the wrestling match called him that, and the rest is history.
For those who were dissatisfied with how poorly Venom was dealt with in the last Spiderman movie, here’s some good news. Venom is going to star in his very own movie! Studio execs have recently met with A-list screenwriters about a spinoff of the film. There are some legal issues that need to be dealt with though. Marvel enjoys making their own films without the intrusion of major studios. But Venom’s inclusion in Spider Man 3 might cause a few complications. Does that mean Sony has the rights to Venom or does Marvel still have control over how the character should be portrayed? Also, questions like “Is Spider Man going to be there?” and “Will other super villians appear” can only be answered in the future. For now we can only hope that the movie turns out to be an intelligent blockbuster hit.
The Spectacular Spider Man: The Animated Series just debuted on Kids’ WB on March 1, 2008. The series promises to be the most exciting comic book themed animated show in years. Featuring a sixteen-year old Peter Parker in his junior year of high school, he’s got the face the challenge of concealing his superhero identity while battling villains like Venom and Green Goblin. This isn’t how it went in the comic books but the show’s creators realized that Peter Parker’s journey from ordinary kid to superhero needs to be condensed. The comic book’s story arcs will simply be presented in a more abbreviated format so important characters from Spidey’s history can be included with more contemporary characters.
