Chapter 19

"Based on surveillance and footage shot at the scene..."

"We have preliminarily determined that there are two suspects... codenamed Green Goblin and Spider-Man..."

Gwen Stacy’s father, Police Captain George Stacy, held a press conference.

In front of the media, he labeled Spider-Man and the Green Goblin as criminal suspects,

and blurry photos of the two also appeared on television,

which led to the following school scene.

"You didn't believe the police, did you? Those people on the bridge, it wasn't me..."

"Of course..."

While Peter and Gwen were having a sweet moment online,

Xu Can leaned his head toward Emma Stone next to him,

and he said that line almost simultaneously with the screen.

"I really love kissing you."

The two in the film and the two in reality kissed just like that.

On the other side, director Marc Webb accidentally saw this scene, and his expression changed.

"Holy crap? Are they for real?"

"Uh... no wonder it's so easy to ship them."

More than half of the *Spider-Man* premiere had passed, and the final climax and ending were not far off.

Seeing this, the media and critics had long forgotten their accusations and their critiques.

They were completely immersed in the plot.

You have to know, this was a popcorn action movie, and they should have been accustomed to all kinds of tropes!

But *Spider-Man*, whether in terms of film style, the director’s cinematic language, or the actors' deeply moving performances,

was completely different from ordinary action movies!

Just enjoy the thrill!

After getting intimate with Gwen, Peter Parker headed to the Osborn house.

Having seen the Green Goblin attacking Osborn enterprise executives with his own eyes, he was worried that Harry’s father was in danger,

so Peter planned to go over and advise Norman Osborn to be more vigilant lately.

After all, Norman was not only his friend’s father but also a scientist he admired.

However, when he arrived at the Osborn house, he found that Norman Osborn was not in a good state and seemed to be sick.

Norman made an excuse to send Peter away.

But before leaving, Peter Parker’s keen vision discovered the Green Goblin equipment hidden in the house!

He realized that Norman Osborn was the Green Goblin!

Peter hurried to the police station to find George Stacy to inform him that the attacker from last night, the Green Goblin, was Norman Osborn!

George already had a bias against Peter Parker, so naturally, he wouldn't believe him.

Norman Osborn was a celebrity entrepreneur; how could that be possible?

Peter left helplessly, but the captain eventually pulled up Norman Osborn’s files.

Later, on his way back, Peter encountered an explosion at a building where children were trapped in the fire.

Peter had already internalized the mission that "with great power comes great responsibility,"

and without hesitation, he threw himself into the sea of fire and heroically rescued several children.

The police officers at the scene had originally wanted to stop this wanted criminal, but seeing him throw himself into danger,

both the officers and the media reporters were moved.

For the first time, Spider-Man established a heroic image among the citizens of New York!

The way he dove into the sea of fire was truly handsome,

and even the fans at the scene couldn't help but want to applaud Spider-Man.

At this moment, another explosion came from upstairs, and Spider-Man quickly swung up with his web, being the first to rush into the fire.

Three cold-glinting darts arrived quietly! Aiming straight for Spider-Man’s face!

"Hiss—"

3D movies weren't popular in 2006; *Avatar* was still three years away.

But the director used filming techniques to make this sneak attack quite thrilling!

The audience couldn't help but want to dodge the darts! The visual effect was maxed out!

Fortunately, Spidey had his Spider-Sense and dodged two fatal darts in the crisis, but the third was too fast and left a wound on his abdomen.

It turned out that the several explosions were all the Green Goblin’s doing! He just wanted to lure Spider-Man out!

Additionally, another executive who betrayed him lived in the luxury apartment, so he was cleaning house along the way.

"Little bug, I didn't expect you to take the bait so quickly. I was worried you wouldn't come, hee-hahahaha—"

"Didn't your teacher teach you? Spiders are arthropods!"

This guy was bombing civilians indiscriminately for revenge, so Spider-Man rushed up with anger and determination for their second great battle.

The two displayed their skills in the burning sea of fire and within the cramped room.

Besides hand-to-hand combat, the two combined their own characteristics to outwit each other, using their abilities and the environment to suppress one another!

The combination of wits and martial arts was quite clever! At the same time, every moment was filled with murderous intent! Like dancing on the edge of a blade, hovering on the brink of life and death!

The second round between the hero and villain reached another level!

The audience couldn't even care about the thrill; they couldn't help but hold their breath, trembling with tension.

Even Stone reached over and grabbed Xu Can’s arm.

After a brief fierce battle, the Green Goblin didn't gain an advantage again; he was beaten badly by Spider-Man and planned to escape to adjust his state.

However, the battle just now had shredded Spider-Man’s mask.

Although his full face wasn't revealed, based on subtle features, the Green Goblin had largely locked onto the other’s identity!

After the battle, Peter was also honorably wounded.

It wasn't convenient for him to go back; Aunt May would definitely worry about his injuries.

So, taking advantage of the night, he snuck to Gwen Stacy’s balcony.

At this moment, it was just starting to drizzle.

Through the news broadcast, Gwen had heard about Spider-Man saving people in the fire and the battle with the Green Goblin.

She stood on the balcony, worried, looking out into the rain, waiting for Spider-Man’s figure.

Just then, Spider-Man slowly hung down from the air, appearing behind Gwen.

Gwen noticed the movement and turned around in surprise; it was indeed Spider-Man!

"Peter!"

Gwen was incredibly excited and gently lifted Spider-Man’s mask, revealing his lips.

Then she kissed him...

"Ohhhhhhh—"

The iconic scene of Spider-Man kissing upside down in the rain once again ignited the atmosphere in the theater.

Everyone didn't even care about theater etiquette and couldn't help but applaud.

Fortunately, everyone present was a Spider-Man fan, a movie buff.

This behavior didn't ruin the viewing experience; instead, it had a sense of excitement.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

After kissing for a moment, blood from Peter’s wound dripped down.

Gwen noticed something was wrong, quickly pulled him down, and dragged him into the room to bandage him.
