with the truths of those around them and the reluctance to share their truths with their closest companions spider-man quest for the true truth the very first conflict that occurs in spider-man NUMBER_TOKEN is the payoff of harry osborn's discovery that his father was the green goblin and that peter parker killed him but peter's truth of that event is that he did everything in his power to save norman but osborne killed himself in his desire to murder peter after only NUMBER_TOKEN minutes of screen time harry furiously assaults peter with his new goblin brand apparel refusing to let peter explain what really happened to norman harry is refusing to seek out a deeper truth he believes that he knows everything about his father just because he uncovered the identity of his father's supposed killer if harry could just calm down and open his heart to peter's truth he wouldn't be trying to kill his best friend luckily peter's given a note harry osborne is given amnesia a clear symptom of having to rewrite the script so that the film can accommodate the inclusion of the venom symbiote effectively putting harry's character arc on abrupt hold wow this sucks doesn't it but what this change does is give us an opportunity to see how peter manipulates and mishandles the truth after harry's amnesia peter just decides to take the opportunity to again hide the identities of spider-man and green goblin from harry yeah this is great this is back to the way it was we're just watching a good old basketball game with my buddy what this tells us is that if it were up to peter his identity as spider-man wouldn't be out there at all he just failed to keep his identity from harry so he takes this lucky break as a chance to lie again this is absolutely not the smartest thing to do in this situation the house of cards will come crashing down but peter in his hubris believes that the best way to settle their conflict is if everyone just forgot it after all peter's spider-man he's objectively a good person he knows how best to handle the truth when harry eventually gets unamnesiaed and realizes that peter has been lying to him yet again he retaliates with his own web of lies concocting a brilliant scheme to be the epitome of that guy forcing mj to confess to peter that she's fallen in love with someone else and then tell peter that yeah i'm the other guy this goes so south for him though as peter is jacked up with ego and symbiote powers and then quietly and politely ends the friendship in the finale peter humbly begs for harry's help in rescuing mary jane harry's worst enemy submits to him in weakness leveraging the life of the girl they both love to access harry's deeper emotional center peter's vulnerable plea renders harry vulnerable to the point he is ready to seek the full truth about his father in the original deleted scene of the film harry looks in an old photo of mary jane and
