Here’s something I wrote for the Mary Sue about Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. I go into detail about Harry’s arc in the game! “Disabled man is jealous of his non-disabled friend” is a trope I could have done without and that’s definitely the weakest part of the game’s story in my opinion. However, it is understandable that someone… Read More An article I wrote about disability and accessibility in the Spider-Man 2 game
As of 2am last night I finished Spider-Man 2! It’s an incredible game and an incredible achievement, and I think I’m going to be writing a LOT about it in the weeks/months to come. I do have a few quibbles though. (Not least that my game erased the EMF missions after I got 6/9 of… Read More Spider-Man 2’s Portrayal of Harry Osborn
—This post contains spoilers, albeit very early-on ones, for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2!— I got the game today and unfortunately I forgot how terrible I was at video games. Harry and Peter’s touching bike ride was ruined by my crashing into poles every few seconds. I’m sorry! I tried! And I will try again tomorrow. I… Read More Some initial thoughts on Spider-Man 2’s Harry Osborn
I have remained mostly unspoiled for Spider-Man despite the deliberate antics of some inconsiderate people on Tumblr. Hopefully, my pre-ordered game should arrive tomorrow and then I can get to sharing my thoughts on how the game portrays Harry! But until then… I have a few theories on some of the things we might see… Read More Some last-minute Spider-Man 2 predictions
Remember Freshman Year? Finally, years after it was first announced, we have some new information about it! Some of the cast list has leaked and we have a new voice actor for Harry, Zeno Robinson! Let’s run through his career. He is a VERY prolific voice actor So if you’ve watched any animation or played… Read More Everything to know about Zeno Robinson, the voice of Harry Osborn in Spider-Man: Freshman Year
If you’re wondering why I didn’t do this post earlier, I had Covid! Yep, I read Misery #5 in a haze of Covid. It gave me exactly what I wanted, which was Liz vs Lily! But I was sort of left with a feeling of oh, that’s it? Big shout out to the cover artist… Read More Harry Osborn in Cult of Carnage: Misery #5
A “photo taken moments before disaster” of Harry and Peter smiling and seeming happy! Of course, this has its origin in the comics, where a picture of Harry and Peter in happier times appears as the very last panel after Harry’s death. The new pic from Insomniac’s game makes me think of this rather rare… Read More A new picture of Harry Osborn and Peter Parker in Insomniac’s Spider-Man 2
So one fun thing I have learned recently is that the “contact” option on WordPress does not work AT ALL. I’m sorry! If you want to contact me, you can try going through the harryosbornnet Twitter (there’s no way in hell I’m calling it “X”) or the harry-peter tumblr, where you should be able to… Read More A note on WordPress’s contact forms
We’re now four issues into Misery and the way Harry is presented is interesting. And getting interesting-er by the minute, really. (Spoilers ahead, obviously.) And also Lily Hollister is back, just like I wanted! I can’t wait to see her and Lily fight, probably literally, for custody of Stanley. But before that… In Misery #2… Read More Harry Osborn in Cult of Carnage: Misery #2-4
This is an interesting but fairly insubstantial comic from Gerry Conway, aka the guy who killed Gwen in the first place, and Jody Houser. I really like the art by Ramon Bachs, but the story is just a little thin, and also not really all that dark. Peter dies saving Gwen Stacy from her death… Read More Harry Osborn in What If? Dark: Spider-Gwen
