The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Is Harry Osborn evil in this movie? (Possible spoilers)

[Epsilon]

Hi guys, I'm really interested to know about how his transformation came about. Was he evil BEFORE he became the Green Goblin or just after?

 

[OriginalMiles]

He's not evil, per say, just desperate for a cure.

Then he gets evil when he takes the Spider Venom and becomes Goblin.

Oh and when he asks Electro to make Spider-Man bleed.

Okay, he's evil.

 

[Akimych]

Of course he wasn't evil. His problem as Max's was in himself. He is deathly ill. He wants to live. He doesn't want to die because of some sh** in his blood. He sees the light in tunnel - Spider-man's blood. And what after? "I can't give you my blood, Mr. Osbourne, not now"... Screw it, f**k you Spider-man, i'll take your blood eather way.

Interesting to notice that when we saw the poster with all the villains on it many of fans admitted the resemblance of Goblin's look with Garfield's face. And after there were 5 pages of discussion - "Perhaps Harry will take Spidey's blood and will look similar". But as i see they went another way. That's good. The only lack is the missing post-credit scene...

The Post Credits scene should have been the Goblin doing a shot for shot remake of the Single Ladies music vid.

So, he was sick?? Wow…this seriously makes me want to see the movie even more. Also, was Norman Osborne sick, too? Is it a genetic disorder?

 

[OriginalMiles]

It's hereditary.

It was called the Osborn Curse.

That's really interesting. I wasn't expecting that.
I have another question: does his whole face turn green after the transformation?

 

[OriginalMiles]

It's more of a yellow-ish sickly skin bordering on tan colour... (somehow)

I don't recall much green tbh.

I am so excited for this, you have no idea. Green Goblin has been one of my favorite Marvel characters since forever and so far it sounds like they're doing something really interesting with him!

 

[Joshider]

I'm of the opinion that his condition will get worse.

Sort of spoilers about Norman to follow: The way Norman's hands are all monster like when he's with Harry, it makes me think his "final form" will be Ultimate Goblin. I think Harry however will form into a 616 universe Goblin.

We could potentially have both the mainstream versions of the Goblin on screen at one point, together.

Bit too spoilery for the thread

I just hope he returns in a future film.

Green's not realistic. Jaundice is, however.

That's awesome. A nice compromise. Though I hope we'll get some more green and purple. Maybe something like these:

 

[The Infernal]

Yeah, he's pretty much evil in the movie. Doesn't quite start off that way, but he soon becomes motivated. Also he doesn't have the excuse of being insane either. So a fairly big shake up of the Goblin dynamic alongside it being Harry and not Norman.

 

[matt47]

I think someone's got some daddy issues!

(Had to)

 

[Guts]

That's awesome. A nice compromise. Though I hope we'll get some more green and purple. Maybe something like these:

That makes me think of a green version of the red demon from Insidious.
