Original Green Goblin (Norman Osborn) Appreciation 2022

[Jman27]

Nope probably normie Osborn

normie is about to be a symbiote in the venom run

[exile001]

If the Red Goblin is going to be Normie I really hope they have a plan for the whole story they want to tell and that the story is a unique journey.

Just making Normie another Goblin is not interesting at all and just reeks of lazy repetition (and wanting to cash in on Red Goblin as a brand).

Even if it ends with him as an unrepentant villain there is so much mileage in getting there. Taking a kid with a messed up childhood, seeing his father figure(s) appear and disappear almost at random, knowing Spider-man is a hero but also his Dad's greatest enemy/friend, Liz's attempts to be a caring and stable mother, and on top of all that the corrupting influence of a monstrous alien entity. Really show him turn and build a villain who, if not relatable, is understandable in his hatred.

"Spider-man bad he hurt my daddy" really isn't going to cut it. Worse if that's just transferred onto Dylan's Venom.

Yeah, Normie as the Goblin or as a silver spooned child antagonist was milked for all it's worth in the Spider-Girl and Renew Your Vows universes, 616 really ought to be setting him apart from those versions so I don't have much issue with where they can go here, so long as it's not the predictable sort of thing.

But I worry he and Dylan are just gonna become the Super Sons of Spider-Man. Or Symbiote Sons.

Eddie and Harry have kids while Peter doesn’t marvel hates Peter being happy we really need mayday Parker into the main universe I don’t care how it happens.

I feel like in a possible future one person decides to make her a villain first then a hero like hit-girl with spider-man powers

[Kaitou D. Kid]

Just my take, but I would prefer Normie not to become a Goblin. I think that would be more original.

I also think it would be great if Peter helps Normie break the cycle of an Osborn becoming a villain. Peter after all was a teacher and is great with kids, and Normie is a child that's always in his circles. IMO, that would be cooler.

Peter is actually Normie's godfather, a detail that was mentioned a couple of times and then not at all...

[Xwho]

Was it said by Nick Spencer or by anyone else how there was a A.I Normon when he was thought to be dead with a version of his mind?
Maybe he copied his memories before he was hit by his gilder and Harry did the rest.

Oh, yeah, the Harry Osborn A.I. was technically a combo of Harry and Norman.

Norman has a list of people he's wronged and Peter is on there multiple times, so is Gwen, Harry and Mary Jane, but what's interesting is he also has the baby which is a reference to Mayday so maybe that her Peter was referring to could be Mayday after all.

Also a nice visual of Norman being haunted by Gwen's ghost

[PanicPixieDreamGirl]

I hope Gwen's ghost kicks his sorry ass.

[Toxin45]

I hope Gwen's ghost kicks his sorry ass.

She doesn’t sadly.

Wonder why hasn't marvel thought of retconning the baby's death and made her alive but a villain under the hand's servitude with that nurse being an agent of the hand. Seems like marvel would love to make the fans mad

Would rather go with the Scrier Cult that Norman took over back in the Clone Saga and its aftermath, or maybe the remnants of the Goblin Nation/Underground, at least for something more tied to Spider-Man's and the Goblin's lore.

Probably because the baby existing at all ages up Peter.

Imagine if the grown up baby is a villain with the power to age up people to death, would be kinda meta, kinda funny, and really shitty.

The fact that she's mentioned at all is crazy. If she is involved in the mystery box. It adds up to some things

The last thing you want is having a kid being written by Wells.
