A really great summary of what makes Harry’s portrayal in the Spider-Man 2 game so good. (Don’t forget to like/reblog… Read More Harry Highlights #12
Marvel’s Spider-Man games assigned a real-life genetic illness to Harry Osborn and his deceased mother Emily. Or they sort of did. It’s complicated, okay? I’ve gone down an absolute rabbit hole trying to find out exactly what happened here. Jump back in time with me to 2018’s Spider-Man. During the “Step Into My Parlor” mission,… Read More What is Oshtoran Syndrome, the condition Harry Osborn suffers from in Spider-Man 2? Well…
Graham Phillips did an interview with Behind the Voice a couple of days ago and it’s very interesting indeed. He goes into a lot of detail about Harry’s personality and arc in the game (“He just wants to be free”) as well as the auditioning and filming process. (Apparently, there were three different fates filmed… Read More A new interview with Graham Phillips, Harry Osborn’s actor in Spider-Man 2
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

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
