^so Harry was supposed to find out how?
Wait what if he stumbled onto a room where he finds cams that recorded the events from that day?!
Or better yet Peter finally convinces him in a heart to heart talk.
I'm sorry but IMHO the butler is the most feesable thing I would of bought. There probably exists another good idea for getting the point across but for now i'll stick with this.
That's one of those things that would of been difficult to make subtle.
Harry was too driven for revenge to go with "new found instincts".
I'm sure if it had been subtle ppl would of been complaining that there was a plot hole in his sudden switch.
As for the Media hype:
Was Spidey supposed to recieve an e-mail as to what was going on?
Dear Spidey
It's your old buddy Venom/Eddie Brock. Kidnapped your girlfriend and I'm holding her hostage at the contruction grounds near mainstreet. Hope to see you soon.
-Hate Venom.
The movie established that Spidey was now #1 media status. It only made sense.
W/E it's all just my opinion anyways.
I just wish you could find a better way of doing it than what we got.
Otherwise complaining is pointles IMO.
