It is so buckwild to me what Insomniac did with Harry Osborn and Venom.
In the vast majority of Spider-Media, Venom's defining character trait is his hatred of Spider-Man, and at first, it looks like Insomniac might be going that route. They give Harry ample reason to be absolutely furious with Peter, to resent him, resent the life he gets to live, a beloved superhero with a girlfriend, healthy and strong, a genius of such caliber that even his own father seems to prefer him to Harry. His supposed "best friend" who seems to be withholding lifesaving medical treatment just because he likes how it feels on him, because it's not enough that he be better and stronger and smarter than poor, sickly, doomed Harry, no, he has to be stronger than himself, stronger than the old Spider-Man could ever hope to be. It's not enough for Peter to have his own powers, he has to have Harry's as well, and if that comes at the cost of Harry's life? Well, that's just the cost of doing business. As long as it makes him a better Spider-Man, that's all that matters, right?
It seems like they are going down the route where Harry gives into his anger and resentment, the symbiote whispering in his ear and exacerbating his worst aspects until there is nothing left of the sweet boy that Emily Osborn raised to be so deeply good, only a supervillain hellbent on revenge and world domination.
But that's not what happens.
Instead, almost everything Harry does after the Venom symbiote takes over is framed as helping. As a genuine, if twisted belief that the world he is making is a better world. Instead of seeking revenge against Peter, Harry/Venom wants to convert him. Wants him to stand beside him as they "heal the world" together. And the odd thing is, this only becomes more true with time. At first, Harry/Venom seems almost indifferent to Peter, and angers quickly when Peter calls them a "thing." But we see that the idea of Peter doing this with him, the need for his best friend to be beside him at the end of all things, eventually becomes so important to him that it is ultimately a weakness the heroes exploit.
Think about that; Harry Osborn's love for Peter Parker is so powerful that it almost seems to be corrupting the Venom symbiote, infecting it and twisting its mind as surely as it twisted Peter's, but in the opposite direction. It's so wild to watch the scenes at the end of the game and hear Tony Todd, in his deep-ass Venom voice, read lines like "Thanks for coming, Pete 😊" with the same casual inflection and tone as Harry would. Saying "This is where we became best friends. Now it's where we become brothers!" and sounding so pleased and excited that you'd think he was talking about Pete's mom marrying his dad and not infecting him with alien mind goop.
It's so incredible to me that the defining trait of Insomniac's Venom isn't hate; it's love. A twisted, warped love that doesn't fully understand itself, but a sincere and true love nonetheless, one that holds to the very end.

I can't get over how excited Harry is upon finding out Peter is Spider-Man and the possibility of them being superheroes together :')

Thinking about Peter's absolute cry of anguish after the final boss battle when he finds Harry unresponsive. Thinking about how all he can say is I'm sorry. Thinking about the fact that in Peter's head it was him at May's side sobbing I'm sorry. Thinking about how "with great power comes great responsibility" can never be separated from the guilt Peter feels. Thinking about how that guilt extends to May. How it extends to Ben. How it cripples Peter so much that he tells Miles that he can't do this again. Thinking about Peter's voice as he'd begged Harry to fight - pleaded with him to not make him do this. Thinking about how when consumed with the symbiote Peter had screeched out I'm the hero, I don't get saved! Thinking about how that's not just pride, how that's not just responsibility, how it's guilt. How it's always been Peter and the weight of the world, the life of his loved ones, and their blood on his hands. And now it's Harry's and Peter just breaks. Always the hero, he's done the right thing, but this time it's the last straw. His best friend. The last sacrifice Peter Parker can take...
...and it's then... that Miles saves him.

Just here to remind everyone that "Kraven hunts down both of the Spider-Men, captures Miles at some point (voiced by Nadji Jeter) and taunts Peter about it" was done in 2017 before it was cool

*Me, having comprehensive knowledge of pretty much every universe's Peter Parker's reaction to the venom symbiote, and knowing exactly how he'll act* "Why is he being so mEaN???? 🥺"

Spider-Man game like: Ohhhhhh you support this ex-cop who quit being a cop to serial killerize criminals so bad. You are not hoping that when the cult leader blew up the building it killed her at all....

I like how Anti-Venom just sorta sticks around after you finish the game

Are you seriously telling me that Norman Osborn -- the man who created TWO city-wide catastrophes and no less than THREE SUPERVILLAINS by using unethical and untested science in his desperate bid to cure his son (who he accidentally turned into one of the aforementioned supervillains) -- is about to do EVEN MORE unethical and untested science on that same son, possibly turning him into a different supervillain?
Like, at what point do you just lock his guy up for the safety of everyone? Or at least revoke his science license. Take away his lab keys and forbid him from making anything more complex than a coffee. Really, if Norman is responsible for The Crisis™ for a third game in a row, New York only has itself to blame at that point, or at least its authorities. The dude practically runs around wearing a neon sign that says "I'M THE PROBLEM! IT'S ME!" and they just let him keep doing his thing (unethical and untested science).

I’ve been putting what is probably way too much thought into this for OC Purposes but the Spider-Man brainrot is real.
