Part 10/14:
In the Raimi trilogy, Green Goblin and Doctor Octavius challenge Peter directly, forcing him to confront his values and the sacrifices of heroism. The conflicts are heightened by their personal connections and Mark Webb’s emphasis on dark, emotional storytelling, especially in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, where Harry Osborne’s betrayal culminates in Gwen’s death, reinforcing the tragic tone.
Meanwhile, Holland’s villains—Vulture in Homecoming and Mysterio in Far From Home—are more loosely connected to Peter, often motivated by corporate greed or a vendetta against Tony Stark. This lack of personal stakes makes the conflicts feel less emotionally intense and more like external challenges rather than internal moral battles.
