That's an unfortunately dated name. Guess it leaves room to introduce smarter siblings or something though.

I appreciate that even after going through several phases as Kingpin/Lex Luthor v.2, Norman Osborn still likes faffing about in his old school Goblin gear.

"Do you want to talk to a spider, Peter?"


Green Goblin is better than Kingpin and Luthor because he has a legit psychosis that drives him to be a criminal. Lex Luthor was the one pulling a Green Goblin in Superman/Batman: Public Enemies.

One of the best Spider-Man stories is where Norman finds out Peter's identity. Spidey has a chance to leave Norman to die in a fire, and keep his secret safe, but saves him anyways. Norman gets amnesia, and forgets even being the Green Goblin, but the threat of him remembering hangs over Peter.

I know little about gun ownership, but as far as I am aware the law here for owning a shotgun is that it has to be unassembled in a locked gun cabinet when not in use. You know, for safety.

The way Jonah is sleeping with it by his bed if he rolls over in the middle of the night, he'll blow his own head off. The man lives dangerously.

I think it happened in a Howard Mackie story in the late 90s. Venom was like "YEAH gently caress YOU JAMESON!" which doesn't really make sense considering the two characters had never met at that point in the comics. It really came across like he thought Brock used to work for him because he was a journalist, which was actually the case in the animated series.

The worst thing is that different parts of America have different laws about transporting weapons, so you can cross state lines and suddenly be committing a crime.

Doc Ock took over Peter's mind and tried to become a better Spider-Man but Goblin undermined the whole thing and Ock couldn't handle it. He gave control back to Peter and this is Goblin realizing that it's no longer Otto in there.

He gave control back to Peter? That's really a bummer; I wanted to believe Pete found a way to save himself. :(

It was a redemption story for Doc Ock. He realized he wasn't selfless enough to save things but Peter Parker was.

Edit: the best part of the whole story was that he couldn't stop talking like a villain and his catch phrase was "the die is cast!"

One actual example I can think of is Bendis's first issue of New Avengers, I think, when the heroes are quelling a prison break and Carnage is spouting about sucking the life force off people, which he only ever did in the animated series. And this is Bendis, who at that point had been writing a Spider-Man book for years.

Ehh, I kind of like how it all turned out actually. The whole point of Otto was that he was convinced he was better than Peter, and he wanted to prove it. Everything he did was to try and out-Spiderman Spiderman. He made better gadgets, he made boatloads of money, he streamlined and increased efficiency across the board... but he was still a terrible Spiderman because he just didn't get being a genuinely good guy. Leaving aside the terrible, terrible attempts at banter, he was too cold, calculating, and off-putting to be as good as Peter.

Which is why it's so important that he's the one who comes to Peter (metaphorically), hat-in-hand (metaphorically), and gives him back control over his body (literally). Look at what Goblin's saying there. That woman is the last good thing Otto has done. Everything else has crumbled. The whole affair is an attempt by Otto to prove he doesn't have to be a supervillain, that he could have been a hero if given the chance, and it fails spectacularly. If Peter came back at that moment, through his own efforts, it would only prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Octavius had no redemption left. By making that choice himself, he saves that woman. Peter may be the one who rescues her, but Otto is the one who saves her. And in a way that nobody will ever know. Knowing full well that by doing so, he's revealing what he did and making himself out to be the bad guy. It's the only time in the entire Superior Spider-Man run where Otto Octavius actually acts like goddamned Spider-Man.

That is why it's so important.
