* How did Spider-man explain to the police about Gwen's death? Do the cops know about Green Goblin? If not, why not blame Electro for her death? After all, Max was in the same area where she died.

to:

** Harry knows that Oscorp was experimenting with spider venom to try to cure his father, among other things. He suspects or knows that the spider venom might give someone extra powers (like the Lizard's formula did). He knows that the tests showed that it didn't work. But he sees '''Spider'''-Man, who has '''spider''' powers, who was directly involved with stopping the Lizard, who was all up in Oscorp's business. It's really not that much of a stretch to conclude that whoever Spider-Man is, he and his powers are the result of Oscorp's experiments. And since Spider-Man is clearly not dying or dead from it, the logical conclusion is that he managed to work it out and stabilize it. Therefore, getting a sample of Spider-Man's DNA could let Harry figure out how to save himself.

** Why wouldn't they know about the Goblin? Considering Harry is in custody at the end of the movie, he was arrested.

* Why is Harry so convinced that Spider-man's blood will cure him? For all he actually knows looking on from afar, Spider-man has nothing to do with Oscorp's experiments. And if he's obsessing over Spidey so much, wouldn't he have found out that Spider-man's webbing was developed by Oscorp, then trace the package of it that was shipped to Peter?

* I wonder what happens after Electro kills Spider-man. Was Max planning to take over the city? Harry is cool with this idea?? Also, how long did Harry think he could keep Max under his control? Max seems very unstable. All Harry has to do is say the wrong thing to Max and he is toasted.

** That isn't the only piece of information that he has. He knows that Gwen and Peter know each other and potentially are dating (remember the deleted bit where Harry says Peter's being watched?). He knows that Peter knows Spider Man; he ''spoke'' to Spider-Man, and I would be very surprised if he didn't stop at one point to think, "You know, he sounds exactly like Peter". He sees that Gwen is being very friendly and familiar with Spider Man. It's not hard to put two and two together here.

* At the end of the movie, where the kid rushes out to confront the Rhino. What kind of mother brings her kid to a gunfight? Why even go to a gunfight in the first place instead of staying inside your house? Also, [[PoliceAreUseless why do the police just let the kid slip by them and instead concentrate on keeping the mom behind the line]]?

* So Green Goblin knows Spidey is Peter just from looking at Gwen? Knowing her personality, she could be helping a guy stop a threat. Just because you hang out with Spider-man doesn't necessary mean you are dating him. What? A girl can't help a fellow new yorker out lol?

** It's pretty heavily implied from the first film she's much more aware about Peter's activities than she's letting on. She probably dropped the subject because she knew she wasn't going to get a straight answer.

*Ok, so if Richard Parker made a point of saying that the venom would only work on someone with Parker DNA, how on earth does Harry turn into the Goblin? It should have done absolutely nothing! In fact, judging from their fight, he's physically STRONGER than Spidey! Did Richard Parker go insane and decide to give the bad guys a power boost?

** Was it the same venom, though? Richard Parker killed the self-repair spiders when he ran away (the only trace remaining being the sample in the special projects vault) back when Peter was a small child. The spider that bit Peter as a teenager was part of the bio-cable program.

** Because they don't know that they need his blood (Richard makes it quite clear that Osborn does not know its his blood that was used), and if they have begun to suspect they don't want to draw attention by kidnapping a teenage boy, particularly if it doesn't work out. At best Norman might have seen Peter snooping around the lab in the first film on his security cameras and decided to let him get bitten and see what happened, but it didn't occur to him until that moment that Richard might have used his own blood for the research. Afterwards, of course, there is a new problem- you aren't trying to kidnap Peter Parker anymore; you are trying to kidnap ''Spiderman''.

**** How would the situation be any different later? The implication is that he wants to wait for additional research into the risks... but how could anybody ''do'' that research without a blood sample to work with? Was Peter planning to figure it out on his own?

*** It looked to me as though the grid began to act as a capacitor, and as Electro was a being of of pure energy at that point, it simply absorbed him (much like the ground wire in the MTV show.) In fact, that would be a perfect excuse to bring him back somehow, since energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Or as Jamie Foxx himself put it, "electricity never really dies."

**** Well, as shady as Norman Osborn has been shown to be, he probably had Richard key it to himself first, that way if Richard tried to sell him out or bail, he'd have enough to prove his involvement. It may be that after that initial sequencing, the Venom couldn't positively affect anyone outside the Parker bloodline.

**** Well, as shady as Norman Osborn has been shown to be, he probably had Richard key it likely used his blood in the process to himself first, ensure personal oversight over any application, and once he realized the dangers, bolted. Without his research notes, it's very likely that way if Richard tried Osborn slapped together an incomplete version to sell him out or bail, he'd have enough to prove both sate his involvement. It may be that after that initial sequencing, investors and his own desperation for a cure to his condition, much like Harry displayed in the Venom couldn't positively affect anyone outside the Parker bloodline.

** My guess is that the suit is more of a stabilization unit than a curative measure. Harry would never settle for having to live the rest of his life in military-grade armor. Plus, in his desperate state, of course he would go for the Venom first.
