Something I've noticed is how in most adaptations Norman tends to be more sympathetic than his comic incarnation, at least when it comes to his relationship with Harry. In the comics, Norman is depicted as being verbally and physically abusive towards Harry, seeing him as a weakling and blaming him for the death of Norman's wife. In the 90s cartoon and the Raimi film, it's emphasized that Norman's actions are the result of the Goblin formula messing with his mind and his exposure to it is a result of dangerous experiments to save his company from going under. While I liked Norman in the comics, I do like it when writers do give some humanity to him and show that he does care for his son. Also, it seems odd that no one brings up the fact that Harry brought about Norman's fall to madness by tampering with the serum.
So what are you guys' thoughts? Do you like more sympathetic versions of Norman?
