Hi, Greg.
I must say that âThe Spectacular Spider-Manâ is the best superhero show Iâve ever seen. I totally love it. But I have two questions about it that has been sort of bugging me lately.
In Season 1 episode âInterventionâ, after Peter rejects the symbiote, he returns it to Connorsâ laboratory and tries to kill the alien by freezing the camera where itâs held. Eddie Brock sees him doing this and is enraged, because by killing the alien, Spider-Man destroyed his last chance to get back his job and thus his education in college. But less than a minute later, it turns out that the symbiote is unharmed and itâs actually fine. My question is â" why did Brock had to free the alien and bond with it in order to pursue vengeance against Spider-Man? I mean, since it turned out that it was apparently alive and healthy, why couldnât he just leave it in the camera? He would have gotten his job back and everything would have been fine with his life.
And my second question. Spoiler alert!
In âFinal Curtainâ, the final episode of Season 2, the identity of the Green Goblin was revealed for real. He was (of course) none other than Norman Osborn and it turned out that Harryâs unmasking in Season 1 was a red herring meant to throw Spider-Man (and the fans :P) off. Back in Season 1, during his last fight with Spider-Man, Norman faked a leg injury before escaping and later he found Harry unconscious, dressed him up in the Goblin costume and injured his leg, so he would limp in front of Spider-Man. My question is â" why did he faked the injury in the first place? Did he knew before the fight with Spider-Man that Harry was laying unconscious back at home and planned to frame him as a back-up plan? Or did he found him when he came back after the fight? The latter doesnât make much sense, because in such case there was no explicit need to fake an injury, but still, I wonder.
Sorry, these are probably annoying questions whose answers are âJust because!â, but still, theyâre nagging me.
Fingers crossed for Season 3 happening. And 4, and 5, andâ¦
SPIDEY SPOILERS...
1. The "camera"? Anyway, Eddie heard the symbiote calling to him... and released it... pretty much in a semi-trance. At which point, it twisted his already semi-twisted thought processes.
2. He faked an injury with a plan to find a scapegoat later. Harry presented the perfect opportunity.
