I'm sorry but is anybody else completely fucking haunted by this scene and the way Harry trails his hand over Peter's hair, a form of touch that had never transpired between the two of them before that point, while talking openly about all the feelings he has been hiding and repressing. Is anybody else kept awake at night by the fact that he hesitates specifically before putting into words what Peter means to him, by the implication that there is something Harry is so scared of admitting he's not saying it out loud even in this moment when Peter is too far gone to hear it

Harry Osborn has been Spider-Man's damsel more often than any female love interest and that is just so exquisite to me on so many levels
For one, it's always pleasant to see older comics do a bit of fucking with traditional gender dynamics. Two, it adds to the heaps of homoerotic subtext. Three, this pattern is one of many things that build to Harry's insecurities about being "weak" and needing to "become a man" boiling over and sending him into a tragic spiral of destroying both himself and those he loves - until he gets to be the one who saves Peter for once. And not because he's toughened up, but because he's accepted that his love for this man is an unstoppable force

Spider-Man adaptations: How do we streamline this continously ongoing decades old comic franchise into a cohesive story 🤔 We need some kind of actual narrative throughline
Coffee Bean Gang Saga illustrating the formation of the friend group, the devastating murder of Gwen and the emotional fallout of the tragedy resulting in amazing development for the characters involved and their relationships with each other, coming full circle with Harry's Green Goblin arc and eventual heartbreaking death: Hey-
Spider-Man adaptations: shut the fuck up I need to focus on turning Peter's supporting cast into completely different people

Why do adaptations always default to Harry being Peter's childhood bff I need the world to know Harry Osborn is a gay little loser who did a 180 from "this cute jock I just met doesn't like you so I, too, think you're an insufferable swellhead" to "do you want to get married I mean move into my apartment" after Peter was nice to him one (1) time

Parksborn has given me unrealistic expectations now I'm just waiting for a hunk with big brown baby cow eyes to fall passionately in love with me for being trembly and pathetic then proceed to beat the shit out of my dad

On one hand 616 Harry deserves SO much more appreciation and popularity as he is literally the blueprint for every other iteration and the most nuanced, fully fleshed out version of the character and I'm 100% sure that if he was conventionally attractive 616 Harry/parksborn would have an iron grip on the queer portion of the comic fandom at the very least
On the other hand I know a bigger spotlight would also invite the most garbage fire fandom wank imaginable over this character who 1. Is deeply morally complex and 2. Has endured a fair share of terrible writing choices motivated by writers' dismissal of his narrative value mixed with run off the mill comic ableism so like. Shoutout to 616 Harold for looking like a shaven opossum, thank you king

I love seeing all the Uhm 🧐 I'm not the only one who thought Peter and Harry were kinda fruity in the new game right? posts cause like. Was that not a foregone conclusion for you. Adaptations and alternate comicverses have changed everything else about these two characters and their dynamic at some point or another but they cannot be ungayed. It's a fact of life. The homoeroticism between Peter Parker and Harry Osborn is set in stone and will continue to endure.

When 616 enthusiasts call Harry ugly it's affectionate and all in good fun. When people who don't actually read the the comics or appreciate his characterization therein call him ugly I picture them as a comically superficial Disney Channel mean girl

Harry using the Goblin serum to make it on the school football team before he ever even thinks of using it for supervillain purposes because it's not about the malice, it's about the empty pursuit of stoicism and power driven by soulcrushing shame and insecurity... Spectacular Spider-Man you will always be famous
