@@Zreen001 Makes sense. It took them 3 iterations but they finally got it right with holland and zendaya. Id love to see them try and do a gwen stacy spiderwoman/spiderman spin with holland. It might be interesting.
The reason why Harry's butler waited until 2007 to explain the truth behind Norman's death was because he didn't realize until now that Peter and Harry's friendship was being threatened, and he was also afraid to tell him the truth, because he was worried how he would react when he found out that his father was the Green Goblin.
It makes perfect sense Bernard waited so long, especially since how he worried Harry would react to the news about Norman, and as he saw what was happening to Harry and Peter, he just knew he had to step in.
So in other words he was afraid of how he would react that his father was the Green Goblin so he told him before he became Green Goblin, made MJ leave Peter, huge grudge against Spiderman, messed up his face, slapping Peter in the face in front of everyone, and helped Doctor Octopus just so he can kill Spiderman. I mean he basically ruined Peter's life.
So he waited to see how Harry would react...by seeing all of this unfold instead of saying something when he had the chance, therefore ruining two lives in the process. Not sure that was the defense you were going for because ouch.
i think Harry reacted so minimally because, on some level, he knew his father was a monster the whole time. Deep down, he likely believed Peter's story about his dad killing himself. He just didnt want to admit to himself that Norman was a self destructive maniac, because doing so meant he would have to confront Norman's neglect of him too, which was far too painful for Harry to admit to himself.
Just him running away from himself, huh.... You know, truth hurts, indeed. But face it, and get stronger from it. Don't run away from it. Running away from the truth by lying, especially to yourself will only make you weaker, and more pathetic. So, even if that's a life like Hell you're walking into, and a life dripping full of hypocrisy, you still need to face it, cry, and stand up again, don't run away from it. FACE THE TRUTH AND CONFRONT YOUR SINS AND MISTAKES. MAKE ATONEMENTS FROM IT.

@@stavomatias3047Harry just lost his father on spider man 1 you think he would listen. So little glad the butler waited too tell him. When it was good timing
Honestly when harry finally came to save peter. His whole attitude changed back to the spiderman 1 happy harry mindset. The fact that thinking peter killed his father made him a grumpy person and it was a sense of relief when he finally knew the truth about it.
Yeah, in the first movie when MJ was clearly insulted by psycho Osborn, Harry said she isn't worth a half of this man and he'd rather leave her than abandon him. Harry respected his father so much it was blinding him. And of course realising his best friend was his murderer is a nightmare taking form to him and made him into the worst version of himself.
This scene always made me both sad and happy. You can see the immense guilt both Peter and Harry feel for hurting each other and I think most people have felt this way before or have gone through something similar, obviously not this convoluted, but like done something to hurt a friend or sibling that they regret. It’s what makes this scene brilliant and very emotional and the part where Bernard tells Harry the truth you feel a sense of relief, that he can now see Peter was right
No Way Home thankfully retconned this scene to imply that the whole city knew about how Osborne died and Harry was simply in denial. Harry just needed to hear the butler uplift him.
@@Kamina.D.FierceIt was because he didn't want to ruin the image of Harry's father in his eyes but after releasing that Peter's and Harry's friendship was destroyed because of it, he admitted to it.
Harry's father dies. His girl leaves him for his best friend. His best friend also causes his face to get disfigured. Then in the end he dies too. The poor guy
Harry: you are so fired Butler: w-what? Harry: you know that all this time and you pick now to tell me Butler: I thought that this would be the best time to tell you the truth Harry: I took a grenade to the face dude
The moment he said the blade that pierced his body was from his own glider, you can see Harry is immediately being struck with regret, guilt and remorse. Then he decides to make it up to Peter and still holds him in his heart as his best friend, no matter what he is or what he does.
In the end you know that he was Bound to a fate better then that of his father but his father was also Crazy because of the poison that was in his body where Harry wasn't as crazy
My headcanon is that Bernard tried several times to tell Harry, but Harry would either not believe him or stop him. Then, when Peter tried to kill Harry with the symbiote, Harry realized “this isn’t Peter, something is wrong, he wouldn’t kill me…he couldn’t have killed my father.” There is a deleted scene of him looking at a picture of himself, Peter and MJ, which is where I think this thought process would’ve played out. After this, I think he finally listened to Bernard
I think it's more A) He didn't know Spiderman was Peter and B) Didn't know Harry knew about Green Goblin. He was okay with Harry hating a faceless Spiderman to protect his image of his father, but upon learning that Harry knew about his father's image and that it was his best friend he blamed... He chose them to set things straight.
No Way Home thankfully retconned this scene to imply that the whole city knew about how Osborne died and Harry was simply in denial. Harry just needed to hear the butler uplift him.
@@thatperformer3879 I never really interpretted it that way. I reckoned that Osborn being green goblin was released sometime post... like in Harry's death, they explained that his father was green goblin and the reason harry showed up on the same glider to die fighting Sandman and Venom was because he was trying to make amends for his father's mistakes. I mean... Harry arriving and dying using all the green goblin's tech would definately lead to some inquiries.
Yeah, I know. It was Harry's father's own fault he's dead. After all, it's just like that old saying: "Live by the sword, die by the sword." He chose to become the "Green Goblin" & go on a vengeful frenzy. He made his own bed.
James Franco's Harry and Tobey's Peter are the perfect image of Cedric Diggory and Harry Potter for me. From the appearance, James is perfect sunbright handsome, nice and pride at the same time, and Tobey more shy and lowkey. Also the chemistry between them, perfect awkward bromance when they are best friends but also rivals in love, they respect and admire each other but also jealous with each other.
When Harry had that mirror repaired, that was probably the best time for the butler to break his oath to Norman and tell Harry that Norman wasn't murdered.
Oh he was murdered, just by his own hand. It's not a suicide because he didn't intend to kill himself, while he did intend to kill Peter. The wrong person died is all, and that would still constitute at the least 2nd Degree Murder. But you can't charge a dead person.
@@Damphouse Suicide is an intentional act. Being the cause of your own death such as in this situation wouldn't be suicide. Disregarding the superhero portion of things, had Norman survived, he would have been charged with either attempted capital murder (since it was clearly planned beforehand) or more likely attempted second degree or first degree murder. It would really depend on the prosecutor and how much money gets thrown around.
@Arty Muñoz and? what is your point? what he said still applies lol. you only need to be told something one time if you believed the opposite from the moment he said that until now.
From the end of Spiderman 1, the most important plotline was the beef between these two best friends… to see it get patched up & resolved, to see Peter & Harry fighting side-by-side to save the city, after everything they’ve been through good & bad.. was the single biggest payoff of the Raimi trilogy.
It’s also the fact that Harry took a newer version of the formula, which gave him a healing factor - possibly another contribution to him regaining his memories much quicker.
@@Yamainuto peter knew harry was gonna attack him sooner or later anyway like he did in the beginiing of the movie when harry fell and lost his memories
@@ulfjohansson-tr2ne Peter even said to harry that he’s done tryin to convince him after every failed attempt to do so, he kept brushing Pete off, he even brushed him off after MJs play hell he even used MJ as a scapegoat practically to attack Peter mentally
1:27 When I saw this in theaters and Bernard said "If I may Sir, I've seen things in this house" the auditorium burst out laughing. It was such an unintentionally funny moment for them that this butler deals with the Green Goblin and Spider-Man's BS on a regular basis, probably sweeping up the windows they break, and dusting their secret lairs without acknowledging the absurdity of it all until now.
I feel like butler must have seen Norman's secret before off screen or maybe Norman told the butler not to tell Harry and that's what he did. Even Norman told peter not to tell Harry before he died. idk that's just my theory of why he didn't tell harry the truth
I remember that line from the first movie. He told Peter with his last breath not to tell Harry. If Peter told Harry what happened, it would’ve made things worse. It is probably true Norman told the butler not to tell Harry until when the time was right. Harry knew his dad was the green goblin but he didn’t know what happened and how he died and why. He blamed it on Spider-Man/Peter Parker because he saw Spider-Man put his dad on the couch in the dark and pinned it on Spider-Man. Harry was driven by revenge and wanted Spider-Man to pay for something he never did. He learned the truth from the butler and after refusing to help Spider-Man/Peter Parker against Sandman and Venom, it has made Harry feel bad blaming his best friend for something he didn’t do and he did the right thing to go help save MJ. Sad to see he died as a hero.
If Bernard hadn't told Harry the truth about his father's death, Harry wouldn't have come for helping Peter and this last one could have diede because of Venom and Sandman
@@CraigMcGuinn The Peter being Spiderman part is irrelevant. Harry already knew that when Bernard spilled his beans. The fact that Norman was the goblin and killed himself was shit Harry didn't know and probably would have pushed him away from his obsession.
Always thought this scene was hilarious. Harry seeking vengeance for YEARS and his butler keeping it to himself, until he casually comes out telling him spidey never did it as the city is in flames.
This is the stupidest mistake writers continue to make. If they want to show Harry and Peter's friendship, Harry should help Peter without knowing that he didn't kill his father.
I get the feeling that they were going for a sort of 'ascended extra' moment where Bernard, who has basically meant nothing in this trilogy...steps up and has 'a moment' that is very important and pivotal. I don't think the final result gives the desired impact. I think it ends up feeling a bit more random and weird that this character who doesn't really mean much to the viewer all of a sudden has to hold Harry's hand and walk him to redemption. I think the Editor's Cut which make it Harry's choice just might be the better interpretation. I also think THIS scene really telegraphs Harry's decision, really spelling it out that he is going to come to the rescue. I think the small moment of Harry just looking at the picture, leaves it a bit more up in the air. It shows that he is making the decision, but is brief and ambiguous enough that you don't automatically assume he will help.
@TvRF I think it’s only in the blu ray collection. It’s Spider-Man 3.1. Changes the order of scenes much better and adds/removes scenes that make the movie better in my opinion.
it wasn’t random or weird and the character did mean much to the viewer and the editor’s cut where it was Harry’s choice wasn’t better it sucks. This verison is the better interpretation. Also no it isn’t ambiguous enough dude and it shouldn’t
@@firestrikerii810 I agree with you, the person you're replying to decided to put no stock into this character because he was meaningless to him. But in that universe and in that household Bernard is a very important person, having built trust and been there from the moment Harry was born. It was meaningless to the person that made this comment but not to Harry, obviously.
@@Asconistialthough I feel that when he said to Peter don't tell Harry, he didn't mean not to tell Harry that he killed himself, I believe he actually meant don't tell that he was the green goblin
In no way home he should have been, and meet his father again, and backing home together with him, in another line of time, together imagine that. He dint't deserve die, he deserved a second chance
“Hey Harry, I probably should’ve told you this right after your dad died but I wanted to watch you use your dads gadgets, fight your best friend in the mansion and get your face blown the hell up before telling you this…. It wasn’t Peter… talk to ya later”
To be fair: it’s possible Bernard did not know Harry’s friend Peter Parker was Spider-Man until one or two scenes before this. So Bernard would not realize how Harry’s beef against Spider-Man could continue harming Harry’s life at anytime before that moment
Gotta love how the butlers are the ones that are the most important part in movies (especially hero movies) they wait for the right moment to explain things
Unpopular scene is when he Peter and harry looked at eachother and the look of regret and sadness Peter expressed when he saw what he did to Harry’s face is heartbreaking. Seeing 2 best friends fight is always the most heartbreaking thing
In my book the original Spider-Man trilogy layed the ground work for the MCU by revitalising the genre...Spider-Man No Way Home was such a gift to the fans!
Harry already knew the truth, he just couldn't accept it. He was fighting his inner demons the whole time, regardless of how his dad died. Everyone including the butler knew this, so he had no reason to intervene early on. Peter even told him during their first fight. The butler telling him was nothing new. It just hit Harry differently coming from him, because the butler would rarely say or do anything besides tend to him. Once he saw it threatened Harry's life, was the only time to intervene. Obviously in movies certain logic is stretched, but this actually makes sense from a psychological standpoint. Not just a "they did it for the plot" moment.
If Harry’s butler waited years to tell him this wasn’t a big enough plot hole already, in No Way Home, Sandman said that Goblin’s death was all over the news, and that the glider was the cause of it. If this was the case, Harry should’ve known all along.
Are you forgetting that Sandman lived in Spiderman 3,so he had no death to be sent back to face. I'm guessing Sandman was transported to the MCU after the events of the third movie.Meaning that with Harrys death it probably finally became public knowledge that father and son was the Green goblin.With the Osborn lineage basically extinct the police probably raided Harrys mansion and found all the evidence they needed.Plus under questioning im sure Bernard the butler told them any details they wanted to know.
Okay but one thing I never understood about this is how did Harry not know? I mean he found all the goblins equipment in his own house, most of the goblins targets were people who wronged or opposed his father, and when his dad died the goblin also died. Also, if spiderman actually murdered him, why would he bring his body home? The only answer I can think of is that maybe Harry actually did know, and was just so upset about everything that he didn't care that his dad was in the wrong. And maybe hearing Bernard say it all out loud enabled him to see it from a less vengeful perspective. However, that means that Harry would've also known that his dad almost killed he and MJ at the festival and probably should've seen it differently. Either way, the whole thing has some holes in it.
Harry: How would you know that? What if Spiderman used the glider to kill my Father? Butler: Oh, now I'm not really sure. Harry: That's what I thought. *Spiderman dies coz Harry didn't help him
It had many things going on that weren't well developed, the guy behind Venom was a whinny, so, hard to look at him as an antagonist, Venom the less developed character, he died as the guy behind that, in a non-impressive way. The Dark Spiderman moments have sense, based on how the personality of Peter was, so when he was with Venom, instead of creating a very evil version of himself, it created at times a goofy version of himself, if someone doesn't understand that, they think the whole scene is out of place and that's also a reason why people don't like this movie, only when he pushed Mary Jane is when you realize that thing was making him become evil. Movie is entertaining, but, that's it, it's flawed in different parts. They tried to show a conflicted Mary Jane that her personal life and dreams weren't going well, but, the result felt more like she was only being egocentric and selfish.
@@JemDewto be fair, Peter was being very dismissive about MJ’s acting troubles and told her that he didn’t need her help pretty aggressively when he was looking for Flint even before the symbiote. It’s not surprising that she would want to distance herself from him even just a little bit because of how he’s acting
Bro, his butler should have played abigger part instead dropping some last minute guidance. But he did say he didnt speak of what went on. Also, I figured Harry would have noticed the wounds being unorthodox. He wasthe one who found him with Spiderman first.
One thing that has always infuriated me about the scene is the fact that the butler could have told him at any other time, especially before he became disfigured,. I still don’t understand why he never said anything previous to this moment. He could’ve spared Harry a lot of pain and suffering.
because at that time he had no idea how Harry would react to hearing that his father practically killed himself, I mean it's bad enough harry already lost his father and thought spiderman killed him, if he was told that his father killed himself with his own glider it would have destroyed harry's psychological mental health and he would most likely deteriorate as a person becoming even more twisted than his father, timing is everything when telling someone about sensitive information otherwise you create more problems than you solved.
@@Valaso-Osalav yeah, but given the circumstances, if I was Harry Osborne, I still think I would be a little bit pissed off. I’d be like “Dude, you could’ve said something like I literally got disfigured over here. Thanks, sir” I think in a matter of life and death, I personally would’ve said something. But that’s just me. That’s kind of not a secret I would’ve kept.
@@matthewnada913 the dude was literally obsessed with killing Spiderman even if you had told him do you really think he would have listened in the first place? The dude was so bloodthirsty to kill Spiderman that if it wasn't Peter he would have stabbed the motherfucker to death without mercy. Harry wasn't ready to listen or hear reason while he drank himself nearly to death trying to find Spiderman. Peter tried telling him at the beginning of the movie and couldn't because he refused to want to hear it? but at that time when Bernard realized what was happening he realized that moment was a now-or-never situation. As I said timing is everything.
@@Valaso-Osalav Point well taken. I also have to consider the subservient nature of Bernard as well. A proper butler wouldn't have felt it was their place to say something especially how shocking it would be to find out your father was a psychopathic murderer. Also, to keep in perspective, at the moment Peter places Norman's lifeless body on the bed, Harry doesn't know his father was the Goblin. All he knows his Spider-man killed his father without any context or knowledge of the situation. At first, the idea of avenging his father's murder didn't come easy. If you remember he resisted the voice of his father in his head. It wasn't until he found the secret room it became clear to him what happened. Presumably, once Harry started taking the formula, his mind was warped like his father. The very knowledge of his father's identity doesn't deter him from wanting revenge on Spider-man. As far as Harry's concerned Peter killed his father... not Spider-man killing the Goblin. So, yes, I agree with you that if Bernard had said something right up front, it most likely wouldn't have quelled Harry's rage.
@@Valaso-Osalav After rewatching this clip, I also got through thinking, on what level, if any, did Bernard assist Norman in his endeavors of being the Goblin. He apparently has knowledge of the glider and its blade. Obviously, with all of Norman's goblin tech around the house he had to, at the very least know, and possibly on some level helped him like Alfred helped Bruce Wayne. Especially, the "I've seen things in this house line" which implies he's had far more knowledge than he's spoken about. He quite have possibly pledged confidentiality to Norman to not even say anything to Harry. It was obvious, Norman didn't want Harry to know he was the Goblin. In fact, his dying words to Peter was "Don't tell Harry". Just some food for thought
Honestly I kinda like the retcon made in No Way Home that Goblin’s death was known citywide, it implies that Harry was simply in denial of the truth about his father for many years despite Peter trying to convince him, and finally when the butler gave him the speech about loving his friends his hatred subsided. It would explain why the butler never said anything.
I liked the HOW IT SHOULD HAVE ENDED clip when he went “And you’re telling me this now!? 😡 DUDE I took a grenade to the face! You’re so fired!! 😤” 😅lol
Harry: What?! Butler: I love you Harr.... Harry: No, about the glider you knew and just now are telling me? Butler: I felt that the time was right Harry: Oh you didn't feel that the time was right when I was making deals with villians or was becoming the Green Goblin 2.0 or trying to kill my friend? Butler:....
Had the butler told the truth to Harry and everyone from the start: 1) Harry would be in denial, would never accept it and would still blame and hate Spider-Man (who he didn't know was Peter) anyway. Harry would also fire the butler. 2) Norman would be revealed to the public as the Green Gobelin, ruining his image, ruining the reputation of Oscorp (which made the Green Gobelin equipment), likely terminating the company. Harry would be even more in rage and denial, thinking that Spider-Man was using his father as a scapegoat. 3) Harry would maybe be a paria too, and without his father and the company he founded, both gone and their reputation in ruin. He would be broke and have nothing to lose, thus even more likely to dive headfirst into his revenge obsession against Spider-Man. There is no way Harry would have believed the butler. To Harry, it was better to believe his father was an innocent murdered by a masked man than his father was a crazy mass killer who got killed against the city's vigilent when trying to murder again. The truth was exposed to Harry when he discovered the Green Gobelin's arsenal behind Norman's living room = Norman was the Green Gobelin and was killed in a fight with Spider-Man during his attack on the bridge when he tried again to murder people (the Green Gobelin never reappeared again after Norman's death, which happened during the same night of Gobelin's attack on the bridge). Yet, Harry still went ahead with his vengeance because he was in denial.
I would like to know how the butler had the chance to clean Norman's wound when Harry caught Spider-Man dropping off the body of Norman at the house and most likely never left his father's body until someone showed up to take the body away.
Why the assumption that Harry just sat there cradling his dads body until they took it away? Harry could have very well left the room to call an ambulance,while Bernard came in and cleaned Normans wounds.
As an adult, this scene is awful. The line "she needs us" is super powerful, but the reason it is super powerful is because the girl in question slept around and cheated on them with each other. Also, and even worse, the fact that the wounds were made by the glider doesn't say anything. Like, what's more likely: you being mortally hit with your own weapon or your enemy taking your weapon and killing you with it...????
What I've never understood all these years was how did Bernard conclude that Spiderman didn't use the glider to stab Norman since all he saw on Norman were the glider wounds?
"No question he died by his own hand." Yeah, it was just his glider that killed him. It's not like spidey could have stabbed him with it like Holland Spidey was going to in No Way home... But whatever works for the plot I guess.
Is that really enough to assure him, 100%, that Norman died by his own hand. How does he know Peter didn't kill him with the glider, like he almost did in no way home?
Probably because the glider still working, while on nwh already broken, that butler think there's no way spidey can use the glider without the controller that was on green goblin hand.
yeah, it is. when you trust someone without question as they trusted their butler that had worked for them his whole lives, plus what exactly does the butler have to gain by lying? nothing but he has everything to lose if Harry decided he didn't believe him. That's what would sway me and i'm sure what swayed Harry.
😅imagine harry would have a little kid,died like he died and this buttler would be like "i clened his wounds. That blades that pierced his body came from his own glider. There is no question that your father died by his own hand."
I think Harry knew that Peter never killed Norman deep down, he was best friends with Peter and knew his personality. Reasons why Harry likely had some kind of suspicison that Spider-Man wasn't responsible include: - He knows Peter personally (Peter is a good guy, even his landlord calls him a good boy when he has his outburst, which he is ultimately correct about, Peter apologizes later). - He knows Spider-Man doesn't kill people (for his father to be an exception likely bothered Harry at least a little bit and created some doubt). - Peter never made any moves against Harry despite Harry's open hostility, and kept insisting Norman killed himself. Harry likely harbored some doubts about his belief in Spider-Man being the killer, but his butler essentially corroborating Spider-Man's story (without hearing it mind you, Peter made his claim while fighting Harry while the butler was absent) was likely what finally made it all completely click and allowed for Harry to put his grief aside and start looking at the bigger picture. Harry's story isn't necessarily about him not having enough information to put it together until the very end, it's about how his grief clouded his judgement and destroyed the life he could have had with his friends (grief which was largely rooted in an emotionally abusive relationship). The only real reason his butler is there to tell him the facts about the glider aren't necessarily to give a puzzle piece, narratively speaking, it's to show that Harry has moved past his grief and is going to go save his friends. It's there to make the transition seem a little more solid, without it the story stays basically the same, but having Harry just change his mind without a last piece of evidence would maybe seem less believable for an audience member.
This movie was so badly written and this scene just solidifies that. I CAN'T BELIEVE no one is commenting how lame this dialogue is. This butler came out of nowhere (never seen him before) then reveals his wound was self inflicted. I guess he knows how to come to an autopsy level conclusion because..... lazy writing.
I'm pretty sure there's a deleted alternate scene where harry looks at a picture of him mj and peter together as friends and decides to go help him because like he said in his death scene Peters his friend that works a lot better than the butler who I can't remember any scenes with him in the entire trioligy apart from this one giving a very late but convenient exposition dump,

Honestly when harry finally came to save peter. His whole attitude changed back to the spiderman 1 happy harry mindset. The fact that thinking peter killed his father made him a grumpy person and it was a sense of relief when he finally knew the truth about it.
Yeah, in the first movie when MJ was clearly insulted by psycho Osborn, Harry said she isn't worth a half of this man and he'd rather leave her than abandon him. Harry respected his father so much it was blinding him. And of course realising his best friend was his murderer is a nightmare taking form to him and made him into the worst version of himself.
I think "grumpy" is a bit of an understatement lol
Imagine that you really believe your best friend killed your father, that would be traumatic
This scene always made me both sad and happy. You can see the immense guilt both Peter and Harry feel for hurting each other and I think most people have felt this way before or have gone through something similar, obviously not this convoluted, but like done something to hurt a friend or sibling that they regret. It’s what makes this scene brilliant and very emotional and the part where Bernard tells Harry the truth you feel a sense of relief, that he can now see Peter was right
Boy, he sure took his sweet time before finally just telling the truth.

The moment he said the blade that pierced his body was from his own glider, you can see Harry is immediately being struck with regret, guilt and remorse.
Then he decides to make it up to Peter and still holds him in his heart as his best friend, no matter what he is or what he does.
In the end you know that he was Bound to a fate better then that of his father but his father was also Crazy because of the poison that was in his body where Harry wasn't as crazy
My headcanon is that Bernard tried several times to tell Harry, but Harry would either not believe him or stop him. Then, when Peter tried to kill Harry with the symbiote, Harry realized “this isn’t Peter, something is wrong, he wouldn’t kill me…he couldn’t have killed my father.” There is a deleted scene of him looking at a picture of himself, Peter and MJ, which is where I think this thought process would’ve played out. After this, I think he finally listened to Bernard
No
Hmm
I think it's more A) He didn't know Spiderman was Peter and B) Didn't know Harry knew about Green Goblin.
He was okay with Harry hating a faceless Spiderman to protect his image of his father, but upon learning that Harry knew about his father's image and that it was his best friend he blamed... He chose them to set things straight.
No Way Home thankfully retconned this scene to imply that the whole city knew about how Osborne died and Harry was simply in denial. Harry just needed to hear the butler uplift him.
@@thatperformer3879 I never really interpretted it that way. I reckoned that Osborn being green goblin was released sometime post... like in Harry's death, they explained that his father was green goblin and the reason harry showed up on the same glider to die fighting Sandman and Venom was because he was trying to make amends for his father's mistakes. I mean... Harry arriving and dying using all the green goblin's tech would definately lead to some inquiries.
Sad fact, the actor who plays the Butler was struggling mentally at this time, and they had to redo this scene a bunch of times because of it.
Really ? Didn’t know that

Not sad, testament to his commitment to perfection. He nailed the most iconic scene of the trilogy.
Respect
Even as a kid i could tell he was struggling in his limited role getting old sucks
The way the Butler said "Theres no question that he died by his own hand," hits me hard till this day😢
Yeah, I know. It was Harry's father's own fault he's dead. After all, it's just like that old saying: "Live by the sword, die by the sword." He chose to become the "Green Goblin" & go on a vengeful frenzy. He made his own bed.
one thing i have to give credit for is rhe dynamic brotherhood between harry and peter. it's something truly wonderful to experience over all 3 movies
James Franco's Harry and Tobey's Peter are the perfect image of Cedric Diggory and Harry Potter for me. From the appearance, James is perfect sunbright handsome, nice and pride at the same time, and Tobey more shy and lowkey. Also the chemistry between them, perfect awkward bromance when they are best friends but also rivals in love, they respect and admire each other but also jealous with each other.

When Harry had that mirror repaired, that was probably the best time for the butler to break his oath to Norman and tell Harry that Norman wasn't murdered.
Oh he was murdered, just by his own hand. It's not a suicide because he didn't intend to kill himself, while he did intend to kill Peter. The wrong person died is all, and that would still constitute at the least 2nd Degree Murder. But you can't charge a dead person.

All I can think of is HISHE's "Get out." Harry line after the butler tells him HAHAHAHAH
I feel like butler must have seen Norman's secret before off screen or maybe Norman told the butler not to tell Harry and that's what he did. Even Norman told peter not to tell Harry before he died. idk that's just my theory of why he didn't tell harry the truth
I remember that line from the first movie. He told Peter with his last breath not to tell Harry. If Peter told Harry what happened, it would’ve made things worse. It is probably true Norman told the butler not to tell Harry until when the time was right. Harry knew his dad was the green goblin but he didn’t know what happened and how he died and why. He blamed it on Spider-Man/Peter Parker because he saw Spider-Man put his dad on the couch in the dark and pinned it on Spider-Man. Harry was driven by revenge and wanted Spider-Man to pay for something he never did. He learned the truth from the butler and after refusing to help Spider-Man/Peter Parker against Sandman and Venom, it has made Harry feel bad blaming his best friend for something he didn’t do and he did the right thing to go help save MJ. Sad to see he died as a hero.
James Franco looked like he could've played an interesting Two Face.
If Bernard hadn't told Harry the truth about his father's death, Harry wouldn't have come for helping Peter and this last one could have diede because of Venom and Sandman
And had he told him a hell of a lot sooner, Harry may not have had his face blown off with a grenade. Bad Bernard!
@@tonyj9743it’s possible Bernard didn’t know Harry’s friend Peter Parker was Spider-Man until after Harry had part of his face blown off
@@CraigMcGuinn The Peter being Spiderman part is irrelevant. Harry already knew that when Bernard spilled his beans.

Always thought this scene was hilarious. Harry seeking vengeance for YEARS and his butler keeping it to himself, until he casually comes out telling him spidey never did it as the city is in flames.
James Franco is such a brilliant actor in most of the characters he plays, he needs spotlighting.
He is... But sadly he's a menace irl
“Why didn’t you speak of this before?”
“Because Master did not ask!”
The Master never did ask afterall.
Bernard: I didn't you to... get disappointed about your father.
Imagine we heard this in no way home if Peter reunited with Harry 1:19
This is the stupidest mistake writers continue to make. If they want to show Harry and Peter's friendship, Harry should help Peter without knowing that he didn't kill his father.
I get the feeling that they were going for a sort of 'ascended extra' moment where Bernard, who has basically meant nothing in this trilogy...steps up and has 'a moment' that is very important and pivotal. I don't think the final result gives the desired impact.
I think it ends up feeling a bit more random and weird that this character who doesn't really mean much to the viewer all of a sudden has to hold Harry's hand and walk him to redemption.
I think the Editor's Cut which make it Harry's choice just might be the better interpretation. I also think THIS scene really telegraphs Harry's decision, really spelling it out that he is going to come to the rescue.
I think the small moment of Harry just looking at the picture, leaves it a bit more up in the air. It shows that he is making the decision, but is brief and ambiguous enough that you don't automatically assume he will help.
@TvRF I think it’s only in the blu ray collection. It’s Spider-Man 3.1. Changes the order of scenes much better and adds/removes scenes that make the movie better in my opinion.
no it DOES give the desired impact. Also they pulled the ascended extra moment perfectly

In no way home he should have been, and meet his father again, and backing home together with him, in another line of time, together imagine that. He dint't deserve die, he deserved a second chance
“Hey Harry, I probably should’ve told you this right after your dad died but I wanted to watch you use your dads gadgets, fight your best friend in the mansion and get your face blown the hell up before telling you this…. It wasn’t Peter… talk to ya later”
To be fair: it’s possible Bernard did not know Harry’s friend Peter Parker was Spider-Man until one or two scenes before this. So Bernard would not realize how Harry’s beef against Spider-Man could continue harming Harry’s life at anytime before that moment

That butler was beyond gracious and humble.
The butler was the true villain for not telling harry the truth this whole time if he knew
Harry already knew the truth, he just couldn't accept it. He was fighting his inner demons the whole time, regardless of how his dad died. Everyone including the butler knew this, so he had no reason to intervene early on. Peter even told him during their first fight. The butler telling him was nothing new. It just hit Harry differently coming from him, because the butler would rarely say or do anything besides tend to him. Once he saw it threatened Harry's life, was the only time to intervene. Obviously in movies certain logic is stretched, but this actually makes sense from a psychological standpoint. Not just a "they did it for the plot" moment.
The bloopers from this scene are great.
“The blade that pierced his body… came from his Trailer…”
Wait whaaaaat??
He couldn’t have told Harry before his face got messed up lol
Harry: You are SO fired for not telling me sooner! If you had, maybe I wouldn’t have taken a grenade to the face!!
So much emotion in this scene. That why this one my favorite
Peter: I don't kill you father
Harry: Shut up
Bluter : Peter didn't killed you father Mr Osborne
Harry: oh no I need to save him
Harry is beyond forgiveness now he's heartbroken but is still willing to do the right thing in the end.
If Harry’s butler waited years to tell him this wasn’t a big enough plot hole already, in No Way Home, Sandman said that Goblin’s death was all over the news, and that the glider was the cause of it. If this was the case, Harry should’ve known all along.
Maybe sandman from a close universe?
It could have been in the news after events of Spider-Man 3
Are you forgetting that Sandman lived in Spiderman 3,so he had no death to be sent back to face.
I'm guessing Sandman was transported to the MCU after the events of the third movie.Meaning that with Harrys death it probably finally became public knowledge that father and son was the Green goblin.With the Osborn lineage basically extinct the police probably raided Harrys mansion and found all the evidence they needed.Plus under questioning im sure Bernard the butler told them any details they wanted to know.
The end of this movie and how harry die saving hes friend still hits me
I love sam Ramis spiderman ❤
Behind a good man stands a strong butler.
Okay but one thing I never understood about this is how did Harry not know? I mean he found all the goblins equipment in his own house, most of the goblins targets were people who wronged or opposed his father, and when his dad died the goblin also died. Also, if spiderman actually murdered him, why would he bring his body home?
The only answer I can think of is that maybe Harry actually did know, and was just so upset about everything that he didn't care that his dad was in the wrong. And maybe hearing Bernard say it all out loud enabled him to see it from a less vengeful perspective. However, that means that Harry would've also known that his dad almost killed he and MJ at the festival and probably should've seen it differently. Either way, the whole thing has some holes in it.
Or you’re thinking/looking into it way too deep 😂😂
Or more realistically, he assumed that someone else stole one of the Goblin suits
Harry: How would you know that? What if Spiderman used the glider to kill my Father?
Butler: Oh, now I'm not really sure.
Harry: That's what I thought.
*Spiderman dies coz Harry didn't help him
You're telling me this now. I took a grenade to the face dude!
I still don’t see why this movie gets so much hate, it’s one of the best Spider-Man movies in my books.
It had many things going on that weren't well developed, the guy behind Venom was a whinny, so, hard to look at him as an antagonist, Venom the less developed character, he died as the guy behind that, in a non-impressive way. The Dark Spiderman moments have sense, based on how the personality of Peter was, so when he was with Venom, instead of creating a very evil version of himself, it created at times a goofy version of himself, if someone doesn't understand that, they think the whole scene is out of place and that's also a reason why people don't like this movie, only when he pushed Mary Jane is when you realize that thing was making him become evil.
Movie is entertaining, but, that's it, it's flawed in different parts. They tried to show a conflicted Mary Jane that her personal life and dreams weren't going well, but, the result felt more like she was only being egocentric and selfish.
@@JemDewto be fair, Peter was being very dismissive about MJ’s acting troubles and told her that he didn’t need her help pretty aggressively when he was looking for Flint even before the symbiote. It’s not surprising that she would want to distance herself from him even just a little bit because of how he’s acting
Harry: "And you could not tell me this before i became the Joker?"
Bro, his butler should have played abigger part instead dropping some last minute guidance. But he did say he didnt speak of what went on. Also, I figured Harry would have noticed the wounds being unorthodox. He wasthe one who found him with Spiderman first.
One thing that has always infuriated me about the scene is the fact that the butler could have told him at any other time, especially before he became disfigured,. I still don’t understand why he never said anything previous to this moment. He could’ve spared Harry a lot of pain and suffering.
because at that time he had no idea how Harry would react to hearing that his father practically killed himself, I mean it's bad enough harry already lost his father and thought spiderman killed him, if he was told that his father killed himself with his own glider it would have destroyed harry's psychological mental health and he would most likely deteriorate as a person becoming even more twisted than his father, timing is everything when telling someone about sensitive information otherwise you create more problems than you solved.
@@Valaso-Osalav yeah, but given the circumstances, if I was Harry Osborne, I still think I would be a little bit pissed off. I’d be like “Dude, you could’ve said something like I literally got disfigured over here. Thanks, sir”
I think in a matter of life and death, I personally would’ve said something. But that’s just me. That’s kind of not a secret I would’ve kept.
@@matthewnada913 the dude was literally obsessed with killing Spiderman even if you had told him do you really think he would have listened in the first place? The dude was so bloodthirsty to kill Spiderman that if it wasn't Peter he would have stabbed the motherfucker to death without mercy. Harry wasn't ready to listen or hear reason while he drank himself nearly to death trying to find Spiderman. Peter tried telling him at the beginning of the movie and couldn't because he refused to want to hear it? but at that time when Bernard realized what was happening he realized that moment was a now-or-never situation. As I said timing is everything.
@@Valaso-Osalav Point well taken. I also have to consider the subservient nature of Bernard as well. A proper butler wouldn't have felt it was their place to say something especially how shocking it would be to find out your father was a psychopathic murderer. Also, to keep in perspective, at the moment Peter places Norman's lifeless body on the bed, Harry doesn't know his father was the Goblin. All he knows his Spider-man killed his father without any context or knowledge of the situation. At first, the idea of avenging his father's murder didn't come easy. If you remember he resisted the voice of his father in his head. It wasn't until he found the secret room it became clear to him what happened. Presumably, once Harry started taking the formula, his mind was warped like his father. The very knowledge of his father's identity doesn't deter him from wanting revenge on Spider-man. As far as Harry's concerned Peter killed his father... not Spider-man killing the Goblin.
So, yes, I agree with you that if Bernard had said something right up front, it most likely wouldn't have quelled Harry's rage.
@@Valaso-Osalav After rewatching this clip, I also got through thinking, on what level, if any, did Bernard assist Norman in his endeavors of being the Goblin. He apparently has knowledge of the glider and its blade. Obviously, with all of Norman's goblin tech around the house he had to, at the very least know, and possibly on some level helped him like Alfred helped Bruce Wayne. Especially, the "I've seen things in this house line" which implies he's had far more knowledge than he's spoken about. He quite have possibly pledged confidentiality to Norman to not even say anything to Harry. It was obvious, Norman didn't want Harry to know he was the Goblin. In fact, his dying words to Peter was "Don't tell Harry". Just some food for thought
Honestly I kinda like the retcon made in No Way Home that Goblin’s death was known citywide, it implies that Harry was simply in denial of the truth about his father for many years despite Peter trying to convince him, and finally when the butler gave him the speech about loving his friends his hatred subsided. It would explain why the butler never said anything.
I liked the HOW IT SHOULD HAVE ENDED clip when he went “And you’re telling me this now!? 😡 DUDE I took a grenade to the face! You’re so fired!! 😤” 😅lol
To be fair: Bernard probably didn’t know Peter Parker was Spider Man until after the most recent time he spoke to Harry before this scene
or he could´ve JJJ´d him:"Pack your things. Get out of my building. YOU´RE FIRED!"
I almost killed my best friend because I thought he killed my father, and now you tell me this news after 3 whole movies? You're fired! 😂
Harry: What?!
Butler: I love you Harr....
Harry: No, about the glider you knew and just now are telling me?
Butler: I felt that the time was right
Harry: Oh you didn't feel that the time was right when I was making deals with villians or was becoming the Green Goblin 2.0 or trying to kill my friend?
Butler:....
Harry: I took a grenade to the face, dude!
Had the butler told the truth to Harry and everyone from the start:
1) Harry would be in denial, would never accept it and would still blame and hate Spider-Man (who he didn't know was Peter) anyway. Harry would also fire the butler.
2) Norman would be revealed to the public as the Green Gobelin, ruining his image, ruining the reputation of Oscorp (which made the Green Gobelin equipment), likely terminating the company. Harry would be even more in rage and denial, thinking that Spider-Man was using his father as a scapegoat.
3) Harry would maybe be a paria too, and without his father and the company he founded, both gone and their reputation in ruin. He would be broke and have nothing to lose, thus even more likely to dive headfirst into his revenge obsession against Spider-Man.
There is no way Harry would have believed the butler. To Harry, it was better to believe his father was an innocent murdered by a masked man than his father was a crazy mass killer who got killed against the city's vigilent when trying to murder again. The truth was exposed to Harry when he discovered the Green Gobelin's arsenal behind Norman's living room = Norman was the Green Gobelin and was killed in a fight with Spider-Man during his attack on the bridge when he tried again to murder people (the Green Gobelin never reappeared again after Norman's death, which happened during the same night of Gobelin's attack on the bridge). Yet, Harry still went ahead with his vengeance because he was in denial.
I would like to know how the butler had the chance to clean Norman's wound when Harry caught Spider-Man dropping off the body of Norman at the house and most likely never left his father's body until someone showed up to take the body away.
Harry probably didn't examine his father's body
Why the assumption that Harry just sat there cradling his dads body until they took it away?
Harry could have very well left the room to call an ambulance,while Bernard came in and cleaned Normans wounds.
As an adult, this scene is awful. The line "she needs us" is super powerful, but the reason it is super powerful is because the girl in question slept around and cheated on them with each other. Also, and even worse, the fact that the wounds were made by the glider doesn't say anything. Like, what's more likely: you being mortally hit with your own weapon or your enemy taking your weapon and killing you with it...????
What I've never understood all these years was how did Bernard conclude that Spiderman didn't use the glider to stab Norman since all he saw on Norman were the glider wounds?
Maybe he knew that Spider-Man wasn't the one who kills
It’s not like he was ever given any indication that Spider-Man was involved. Harry might’ve told him but again, no indication
Because there is very little chance the glider death is an accident The glider death meant Norman was out for blood.
Unpopular opinion: This movie aint that bad
It's better than mcu spider man movies for sure
You’re right. It’s not bad at all. Flawed, but not bad
“If I may Bernard. You’re fired!”
That scene is good but the deleted one is better. When harry just looks at the photo of him, MJ and peter and goes to save them
I never really understood how he knew Osborne did it to himself. I mean if a Spider-Man was mad enough he could’ve impaled him with his own glider.
I don’t care what people say about this I love this movie
"No question he died by his own hand."
Yeah, it was just his glider that killed him. It's not like spidey could have stabbed him with it like Holland Spidey was going to in No Way home... But whatever works for the plot I guess.
Is that really enough to assure him, 100%, that Norman died by his own hand. How does he know Peter didn't kill him with the glider, like he almost did in no way home?
Probably because the glider still working, while on nwh already broken, that butler think there's no way spidey can use the glider without the controller that was on green goblin hand.
yeah, it is. when you trust someone without question as they trusted their butler that had worked for them his whole lives, plus what exactly does the butler have to gain by lying? nothing but he has everything to lose if Harry decided he didn't believe him. That's what would sway me and i'm sure what swayed Harry.
@@Nematoda4evergiven how bad the writing is in this movie, that excuse would not be out of place 😂😂😂
😅imagine harry would have a little kid,died like he died and this buttler would be like "i clened his wounds. That blades that pierced his body came from his own glider. There is no question that your father died by his own hand."
I think Harry knew that Peter never killed Norman deep down, he was best friends with Peter and knew his personality. Reasons why Harry likely had some kind of suspicison that Spider-Man wasn't responsible include:
- He knows Peter personally (Peter is a good guy, even his landlord calls him a good boy when he has his outburst, which he is ultimately correct about, Peter apologizes later).
- He knows Spider-Man doesn't kill people (for his father to be an exception likely bothered Harry at least a little bit and created some doubt).
- Peter never made any moves against Harry despite Harry's open hostility, and kept insisting Norman killed himself.
Harry likely harbored some doubts about his belief in Spider-Man being the killer, but his butler essentially corroborating Spider-Man's story (without hearing it mind you, Peter made his claim while fighting Harry while the butler was absent) was likely what finally made it all completely click and allowed for Harry to put his grief aside and start looking at the bigger picture.
Harry's story isn't necessarily about him not having enough information to put it together until the very end, it's about how his grief clouded his judgement and destroyed the life he could have had with his friends (grief which was largely rooted in an emotionally abusive relationship). The only real reason his butler is there to tell him the facts about the glider aren't necessarily to give a puzzle piece, narratively speaking, it's to show that Harry has moved past his grief and is going to go save his friends. It's there to make the transition seem a little more solid, without it the story stays basically the same, but having Harry just change his mind without a last piece of evidence would maybe seem less believable for an audience member.
This scene represents when you finally accept the truth.
This movie was so badly written and this scene just solidifies that. I CAN'T BELIEVE no one is commenting how lame this dialogue is. This butler came out of nowhere (never seen him before) then reveals his wound was self inflicted. I guess he knows how to come to an autopsy level conclusion because..... lazy writing.
I'm pretty sure there's a deleted alternate scene where harry looks at a picture of him mj and peter together as friends and decides to go help him because like he said in his death scene Peters his friend that works a lot better than the butler who I can't remember any scenes with him in the entire trioligy apart from this one giving a very late but convenient exposition dump,
