Harry Osborn/Green Goblin (The Amazing Spider-Man 2)

Harold "Harry" Osborn, later known as the Green Goblin, is one of the three main antagonists (alongside Electro and Rhino) of the 2014 superhero film The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

While Harry Osborn is a great character in the original Spider-Man trilogy and in the comics, his counterpart from the Amazing Spider-Man movies is extremely hated by Spider-Man and Marvel fans.

He was portrayed by Dane DeHaan.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) For starters, his design as the Green Goblin is pretty bad, as it looks more like a live action Jackal design than a Green Goblin design
 * 2) He claims to be Peter Parker's "best friend", even though in the first movie, Peter didn't know anything about the Osborn Family and Oscorp at all.
 * He, along with maybe Rhino, were probably just thrown into the movie just to sell toys, however only 1 toy of him was made, and it's now extremely rare.
 * 1) As Harry Osborn, he's extremely whiny, most notably during the scene when he gets kicked out of Oscorp.
 * 2) While it was Electro who turned off the power in NYC, he was technically responsible for it, as he was the one who let Electro free.
 * 3) He literally tried to get blood from Spider-Man to help cure him, and he complained after Peter said that he would probably die if his blood wasn't compatible with his.
 * 4) Even though him as the Green Goblin was advertised on posters, merchandise and commercials, he was barely even in the movie as the Green Goblin until the very end, and even then, his apperance was rather short.
 * 5) He helped free Aleksei Sytsevich/Rhino from his cell, which made him go on a rampage through NYC.
 * 6) He only realized that Spider-Man was Peter Parker when he saw him hanging out with Gwen, while he should have known when Peter told him about his blood.
 * 7) Unlike the 2002 Green Goblin and the New Goblin, who were both great characters, he's just another generic doomsday villain.
 * 8) He was supposed to appear in the Sinister Six movie, but that movie got cancelled because of the poor reception of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, so we don't know what happened to him.
 * 9) And to get the elephant out of the room, he was responsible for killing Gwen Stacy, even though it was technically Spider-Man who killed her, he was the one that threw her off the clock tower.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) To some, him throwing Gwen and Spider-Man's unfortunate web killing her, while sad to many people, was an important and unforgettable part of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and is fondly remembered by many.
 * 2) His design, while bad, him not wearing a mask was a small step in the right direction, as the mask worn by Norman Osborn in the 2002 movie looked rather goofy (though some fans love it), and the New Goblin's mask in Spider-Man 3 was rather bland. Norman Osborn would later not wear the mask in No Way Home, and many fans loved that.
 * 3) To be fair, many of his reasons why he sucks are because Avi Arad forced Mark Webb to include him into the movie just so they can sell toys.
 * 4) Dane DeHaan is still a great actor, but he sadly sucked in this movie.
