In the wake of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 there’s been so many good posts about how Harry factors into the story and its themes. This one though, about Harry’s capacity to love, is probably my favourite. 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…

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
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
