* Why does Peter, the only photographer known get photos of Spider-Man, only ever sell them to a newspaper that constantly lies about his alter-ego and pays him peanuts? Assuming that photos of Spidey are hot property, he's in New York City where there are likely plenty of rival newspapers that could potentially pay much more and might not be quite as unfavourable in their coverage of Spider-Man. Does it not occur to him that he could get multiple publications to compete to buy the photos off him or has the notion of free market capitalism, in a city widely regarded as the global epicentre of said economic model, completely passed him by?

* At the end of the first film, Peter drops off Norman's body in front of Harry, which leads to Harry's vendetta that drives the next two films in the series. Sure, Norman asked him not to reveal that he was a supervillain, but... why couldn't Peter tell Harry that [[JediTruth the Green Goblin killed his father?]] After all, he had already publicly killed Oscorp's entire board of directors -- is it such a stretch that he would kill Osborn himself too?

*** The difference is that Anakin was sill alive as Vader, so he was only "killed" in a metaphorical way, and Obi-Wan indeed lied. Saying that Goblin killed Norman is a much lesser stretch -- technically he did, judging by [[DyingAsYourself Norman's last moments]]. Of course, if Spidey did say that, Harry would've probably demanded to know how it happened, and then Peter would have to lie.

** This is ''New York City'' we're talking about. What the odds that Peter Parker will ever run into the one guy who knows his face purely by accident?
