The Green Goblin’s Last Stand

Peter Parker, as Spider-Man, tracks a stolen car through the city, stops the vehicle, and traps the two criminals with his webbing. The arrest demonstrates his agility and sense of responsibility. This opening sequence sets up the ongoing conflict between Spider-Man and the criminals he pursues.

After the chase, Peter meets his girlfriend Gwen Stacy and shares a quiet moment with her. Their relationship provides emotional stakes for Peter beyond the superhero life. The scene grounds him amidst the escalating danger.

Peter's spider-sense detects a familiar danger as Norman Osborn travels in a taxi. He learns from Gwen that Norman has survived the explosion at his chemical plant. The revelation reopens the Green Goblin threat in Peter's life.

Norman Osborn, memory compromised, returns to his home to find clues about his son Harry. A newspaper detailing the plant explosion and a battle between Spider-Man and the Green Goblin catches his attention. The story hints at Norman's fractured mindset and the looming duel.

Peter visits Norman, who becomes enraged and tells him to leave. Peter senses something is off and suspects Norman's mental state may have been altered by the accident. The confrontation heightens tension between father, son, and Spider-Man.

Norman spots Parker's name on a newspaper and hallucinates that Spider-Man is pursuing him. Three thugs harass him, but Norman overpowers them, still thinking he is fighting Spider-Man. The assault ends with Norman collapsing unconscious, deepening the mystery of his condition.

The next day, Norman awakens in his former warehouse and finds the Goblin equipment. He vows revenge on Spider-Man, steeling himself for a renewed campaign against the wall-crawler. The setting marks a shift toward the Goblin's operational base.

Peter returns to Norman's apartment and discovers a newspaper that confirms Norman is the Green Goblin once more. Realizing the threat is not past, he prepares for the confrontation to come. The revelation sets the path toward Gwen's kidnapping.

Harry Osborn learns that a doctor’s card with contact details is missing from his desk. The card also carried Peter Parker’s address and phone number, linking the Spider-Man secret to the Osborns and hinting at further danger. The moment deepens Harry's suspicion about his father and Peter.

Norman abducts Gwen Stacy and drags her to a rooftop, challenging Peter to come rescue her. The capture heightens Peter's guilt and raises the stakes as Gwen becomes a pawn in Norman's vendetta. The rooftop scene tightens the suspense and sets the impending rescue attempt.

Peter locates Gwen, attempts a rescue using webbing, but Gwen is knocked from the height and falls. He quickly spins a web to catch her, yet the maneuver breaks her neck. The collapse marks a brutal turning point for Peter and intensifies his inner conflict.

Enraged by Gwen's death, Peter nearly beats Norman to death, but the Goblin escapes by launching a pumpkin bomb. The moment reveals the fragile line Peter walks between heroism and vengeance. The clash propels the pursuit back to the warehouse.

Peter corners Norman in the warehouse ruins and disables the Goblin's glider, delivering a decisive defeat. He confronts Norman about Gwen’s death, but Norman remains cold and wry, dismissing her as a pawn. The battle highlights Spider-Man's moral restraint.

Norman activates his glider to kill Peter, but Spider-Man's spider-sense warns him to dodge. The glider impales Norman, ending the Goblin's threat. The death removes a major villain but leaves Peter with heavy emotional scars.

At Gwen Stacy's grave, Peter apologizes for not saving her and acknowledges that Norman’s death deepens his pain. He recalls Uncle Ben's promise and reaffirms his decision to continue being Spider-Man. The closing moment sets the stage for Peter's ongoing vigil as a hero.
