any and all of the hyperfix questions if you want ^_^

YES THANK U...

📌 how did you find your hyperfixation?

My friends invited me to go see No Way Home in December and while I'm not an MCU fan, seeing Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield again smacked me into a different dimension and changed my brain chemistry and brought me back to when I was a kid and first saw the original trilogy... so I decided to rewatch all of them... and now I've seen all of the original trilogy and TASM at least 3 times each (but I've seen TASM2 around 6 times I think)

🎥 do you have any favorite scenes from your hyperfixation?

YES OF COURSE. From the original trilogy, the train fight, Doc Ock's death, Sandman's creation, and when Harry comes to help Peter fight Sandman and Venom were my absolute favorites (though ofc I also love every "Bully Maguire" scene too). Oh, and of course the Human Spider vs. Bonesaw :)

From TASM, I love the scene where Peter owns the fuck out of Flash in the gym bc that was hilarious, but my ABSOLUTE favorite scenes from any of the movies is when Peter and Harry reunite in TASM2 and when Harry breaks into Oscorp with Electro (I have those scenes pretty much memorized word for word). Or when Harry's breaking Electro out with the whole "I need you" thing... Ouch. OUCH.

💕 tell us about one of your favorite characters and why you like them!

Harry :) He's a way better character than a lot of people give him credit for. I actually fucking hated him when I first watched the original trilogy, but after watching TASM2 and rewatching the originals again I decided he's my favorite actually. They're both so tragic...

TASM2 Harry especially because like. I really get why he snapped. His dad basically just shits on him before he dies, and he has to deal with taking over this huge company, he finds out he's going to die in the exact same way, and from his point of view it seems like his only friend turned his back on him and he literally doesn't have anybody else... So when he finds out Oscorp has been experimenting on people and gets framed for it and fired, like. Yeah! Okay! Go off!

Raimi Harry also makes me so sad, especially since in the end he came to his senses and sacrificed his own life to save Peter... Even after everything that happened between them... OUCH.

💎 are there any fun facts or trivia that you would like to share?

The original Spiderman comics were so popular that the Nixon administrations department of health education and welfare asked Stan Lee to write an anti-drug message into one of the comics, which he agreed to so long as it was for entertainment purposes and not educational. This was actually super controversial within the comics world at the time, because the Comics Code forbade any portrayal of illegal drug usage, even if it was in a negative light. Lee said fuck it and published the comics (issues #96-98) without their stamp of approval, which eventually lead to the Comics Code being revised.

That being said, the storyline involved Harry, having a hard time coping with his dads unexplainable episodes, becoming addicted to pills and eventually ODing. Spiderman actually defeats Green Goblin by showing him a picture of Harry in the hospital, which snaps him out of it because like, that's his son. So that's pretty fucked up! Harry's problem with addiction doesn't end after these issues though, and actually ends up being why MJ breaks up with him (she just can't deal with his self-destructive lifestyle) and a part of why he becomes the next Green Goblin after Norman dies. Harry is also diagnosed with schizophrenia at one point during this time period, but I don't think this is every really brought up again.

Anyways considering it was kind of a big part of his character in the comics it is kind of weird it's never brought up in the movies, or really by anyone at all, besides implied alcoholism, but yeah! Little known Harry Osborn lore
