Norman Osborn's Tragic Death | The Spectacular Spider-Man (2008) 

I just love Norman Osborne’s methods of deception. Quote from the Art Of War: “When we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”

Always have been a fan of how the pumpkin bombs scream when they detonate

I know we all wanted a season 3 but im just glad that it ended on such a high note

This scene proves that Norman Osborn is capable of deception and manipulation even as the Green Goblin. And his "Death" will drive his son Harry into becoming half the man his father had become, But much worst. it'll lead to Harry figuring out Spider-Man's identity as his best friend Peter Parker, whom Harry now sees as an enemy and the only man that Gwen Stacy loves. And it will consume Harry Osborn with Jealousy and hatred, turning him into a Goblin. Like his Father before him.

This fight was badass.

0:38 "What's wrong, Spider-Man? Off your game?" "No. Game's good, Gobs. Just getting acquainted with the rules."

It’s a real shame a season 3 was never made. I would’ve love to see Harry turn into the new goblin and maybe Gwen end up with Peter

Best version of the Goblin.

The best weapon in a strategy is deception.

I knew Green Goblin would be Norman Osborn.

1:16 Okay Plot twist

It was wild seeing this episode when spectacular was still on Disney+ and realizing this was the end, which made me feel all the pain every fan must've felt

I hated how this Norman Osborn became the goblin with out losing his mind which only makes him a horrible person and father to have created other villains like sandman rhino and ock and to frame your own son to avoid going to jail tbh he deserves a lot worse than to be presumed dead

The thing i hate about this is that Greg Weismann has a strict no spoiler policy so even if the show has practically no chance of being revived due to rights limbo, he'll never reveal how Norman survived.

Spider-Man: You Have No Right To Blew Up Your Glider!

I keep forgetting just how badass this Spider-Man is. Look at all the stuff he had to take down all by himself

Although Hobgobin never appeared due to the show’s cancellation, it feels cool they gave his mystery and twist to Green Goblin here with the ongoing mystery and framing scapegoats.

Anyone else wish Norman stay dead & Peter stayed with Liz?

I mean I get that Norman did a thing to harry was really bad after he drank the green experiment but it sounds like New York not good either.

Harry thinking that Green Goblin couldve been his mom is crazy 😂

One thing I’ll always love about this show and this episode in particular is just how genuinely evil and twisted Norman truly is. He never had any sort of “evil split personality” here, the Goblin was always him. He was always completely sober and in complete control. Knowing this and realizing that Goblin and Norman are literally the same person is honestly pretty terrifying when you think about it. Norman was able to keep an orderly, sensible persona so well for so long that no one, not even Spider-Man truly suspected Goblin was him until the very end. I genuinely believe that Goblin is Norman fully being himself without any societal or moral obligations holding him back. He’s wearing a mask, no one knows who it is under there…so there’s no point in keeping up appearances. Norman was so good at this that not even his own son fully knew who he was. That’s legitimately fucking scary, and it’s what makes Norman in this show my favorite take on the character and one of my favorite villains of all time. The red flags and hints were always there that showed that Norman was a lot more unhinged/insidious than he let on. Working with criminal organizations, his completely nonchalant attitude towards killing people (like with Sandman and Otto), knowing about and not giving a fuck about his son’s drug addiction until it got in the way of his plans, breaking his OWN CHILD’S LEG and framing him just to cover his own ass. And then he fakes his own death and basically abandons Harry to deal with the trauma of seemingly watching his own father die. Like…damn. I will forever be salty this show got cancelled. Shit was really getting more serious around the end of the second season, leading up to a lot of really interesting stuff…only for it to be cut for good (for the time being at least). As of now, all we’re left with is a great show that ended too soon, a crazy cliffhanger and a lot of unanswered questions.

Oh so I didn't notice! Peters mask gets ripped cause of the glider! I always thought it was the pumpkin bombs that did that

Willem Defoe will always be the best green goblin but I really enjoyed this goblin to.

I love how Harry unmasks Chameleon as if this were an episode of Scooby Doo. 😂 *That* was the reveal I didn't see coming.

That studio was, of course, Disney, who ended up acquiring Marvel. one year after Iron Man released. Because of this, Disney now had the rights to make a Spider Man show, so Sony could no longer continue Spectacular Spider Man.

0:32 es increíble todo lo que resistio Spidey esa noche literalmente cualquier otro habria muerto, me encanta este duende verde esta loco, es un sadico y tiene un plan para todo, de las mejores peleas y un excelente cierre de temporada

wow ❤

Potato potato 3:39

Oh wait there aren't 2 Norman's

Cliffhanger

Thats....news to me. Never saw this episode.

I hope Norman Osborn stays pure evil in future seasons the modern comics screwed up Norman’s character he’s supposed to be the most evilest Spider-Man Villain as well as Carnage.

Why is no one talking about how vicious his death is? Especially for a kids show
