But also Peter was dirt poor so probably couldn’t afford a cell phone lol
Maybe I was unclear - I’m not necessarily faulting the actors in this movie. I’m faulting the tone that the director and team took.
I admit Heather has some poor delivery in scenes in her movies, for the record. That’s just not the point I was trying to make.
The Goblin’s motives were initially to serve Norman (killing the competing technology company’s members, killing his board members), however when Spider-Man confronts and fights with him at the festival, the Goblin recognizes Spider-Man will only get in his way in his quest for ultimate power. The Goblin grows madder and madder for power as the movie progresses and Norman falls deeper into insanity. He offers Spider-Man a partnership, knowing that otherwise he will have to put in the effort to kill him and recognizes what power Spider-Man could bring to an alliance. When Spider-Man declines, it just pisses the Goblin off more. He knows Spider-Man won’t join forces, and on that same day he figures out Spider-Man is really Peter Parker (Thanksgiving scene). His next objective is to make Peter suffer - thus attacking Aunt May, MJ, and the innocent children - after making him suffer (and failing to have Peter make a choice and sacrifice either MJ or the kids). This is the night when the Goblin nearly kills Spider-Man. Once Spider-Man is officially out of the way, the Goblin can continue to give Norman all good things and stop anybody who ever gets in his way. Ultimately, though, the Goblin’s deeper motive was to eventually rise to power and rule over the city, since he is “exceptional.”
I mean, I kind of like the concept of Freddy having a child who doesn’t realize who they are, the troubled shelter kids, and learning a little more about Freddy’s past....
But the delivery here was awful. With the looney tunes special sound effects, the ridiculous deaths, the plot holes and inconsistencies... sheesh
I mean Freddy looks even less like Freddy here. At what point in the film did he appear as a skeleton with brains popping out and his finger knives having nerves attached to them? If anything these details are closer to the sequel. Weird stuff
