Chapter 20
Xu Can was shirtless again, showing off his muscles to the audience.
Gwen tenderly helped him clean his wounds, and then the two embraced and kissed, the scene filled with romantic allure.
The chemistry between this handsome man and beautiful woman was truly off the charts; the audience in the theater was completely swooning.
……
Since he had to go to school the next day, Peter arrived at school while still injured.
But he wasn't the only one coming to school!
"Hello, Parker!"
Accompanied by a shrill, eerie laugh, the Green Goblin flew above the school.
"Shit—"
Peter’s hair stood on end!
"Harry, hurry and take them away!"
"It’s too dangerous, you should run too, I’ll call the police!"
Harry Osborn was actually quite loyal.
"No! Go!"
Peter knew the Green Goblin had discovered his identity and was coming for him.
Harry was his son, so he would certainly be fine.
Sure enough, Harry covered for the students as they scattered and fled, while Peter ran into the school building.
The opponent couldn't use his glider in the hallway, right?
Who would have thought, the Green Goblin was a madman who didn't play by the rules!
He rode his glider all the way into the hallway, flying at an ultra-low altitude!
The two engaged in another fierce battle in the hallway!
In this part of the film, Marvel naturally didn't forget to insert an Easter egg.
While the two were fighting for their lives, the elderly Stan Lee, wearing noise-canceling headphones, was still busy in the audio-visual room, completely unaware of the situation behind him.
Amidst the tense atmosphere, a sense of absurd humor was created.
The fans were left between laughter and tears.
Spider-Man even used his web to pull away a flying dart, saving the old man's life.
"Peter, I’m just cleaning house. Those executives owe me! They deserve it!"
"Oh no, no, Mr. Osborn, you really should see a doctor. I heard the psychiatrist at the state prison is quite good. How about I take you in for a check-up?"
Between bouts of fighting, Spider-Man’s chatterbox nature kept him mocking the old Green Goblin, calling him a lunatic.
After a fierce battle, the Green Goblin used darts and bombs to push Spider-Man into precarious situations.
The brave Gwen stepped in to help, using a fire extinguisher to spray the Green Goblin’s head with smoke.
Spider-Man took the opportunity to use his web to pull a pumpkin bomb and throw it at the Green Goblin.
Boom!
The Green Goblin was severely injured, but the explosion also collapsed the area beneath the restroom, and the Green Goblin took the chance to slip away through the sewer.
If the first round of combat was just testing the waters, with both sides holding back,
the subsequent two rounds were increasingly dangerous, making people sweat for Spider-Man.
Some sharp-eyed viewers noticed,
before the old Green Goblin escaped, he glared fiercely at Gwen Stacy!
Next, was Gwen going to be in danger?
Could the death of Gwen from the comics be about to happen in the first *Spider-Man* movie?
The film had already entered its final act,
and veteran Marvel fans were already shivering, their hearts hanging in suspense.
After the third round of battle between Spider-Man and the Green Goblin at school, the Green Goblin escaped through the sewer.
Before escaping, he clamored about purifying the world, creating more super soldiers, and letting the North American military see his strength!
"Hee-hahahaha! I want to show them how powerful the soldiers Osborn mass-produces are!"
"I want to see the military’s orders! I want my soldiers to be all over the world!"
Originally, Norman Osborn’s research into the super serum was to cooperate with the military, thereby making the Osborn Group an unshakeable business empire.
Later, the super serum was unstable and rejected by the military, and Norman Osborn was forced to step down by the board of directors, exiting the enterprise he had founded himself.
That was the cause of the subsequent series of revenge.
The executives had all been killed by Norman Osborn, and next was the Green Goblin’s greatest obsession: producing super soldiers!
In front of everyone, prove his power to the military!
They would regret not cooperating with him, Norman Osborn!
Peter heard this plan and immediately felt something was wrong.
He had seen relevant information when he snuck into the Osborn building to steal web materials.
The super serum could spread through mist, and anyone infected would become a monster like the Green Goblin!
This guy was going to use the entire New York City as his stage?
"Gwen! I have to go to the Osborn enterprise to get the serum to stop him; you hurry and tell your dad, try to evacuate the area around the Osborn building! It’s very dangerous there!"
"Peter!"
Gwen couldn't stop him in time; Peter pulled his web and had already rushed toward the Osborn building.
Just as the police arrived at the school, Gwen told her father, George, about all this.
George told his daughter to go home, while he took his officers to the Osborn building to arrest Norman Osborn.
Gwen was worried, so she took advantage of a patrol officer’s distraction, grabbed his motorcycle, and rode toward the Osborn building.
"I'm really sorry, I'll return the motorcycle!"
This scene was something neither the "02 version" nor the "Amazing" version had.
Gwen Stacy, wearing over-the-knee boots, rode the police motorcycle at lightning speed; she was simply beautiful and cool!
Compared to the 02 version’s heroine MJ, who only knew how to scream and was fickle, dating everyone,
the new version of *Spider-Man*’s motorcycle girl Gwen was simply too cool!
Spider-Man relied on his web to swing and arrived at the Osborn building first; he was just about to fly in to investigate.
Suddenly, a dart cut his web!
The Green Goblin flew over with a weird laugh and knocked him heavily to the ground!
Spider-Man fell from a height of over ten meters, hit an innocent car, and crashed to the ground.
Even though he was in a miserable state, Peter maintained his usual optimism.
"Oh, my back! My back! When everything is over, I must go to a traditional Chinese medicine clinic for a massage."
Just as the chatterbox Spider finished complaining, several green monsters surrounded him.
It turned out they were the test subjects created by the Green Goblin! They had inhaled the Green Goblin’s spray, scales grew on their bodies, and they became monsters like goblins!
"No, you make helpers when you can't win? Do you dare to have a 1v1 duel with me?"
Spider-Man complained while fighting the many Green Goblin monsters.
Knowing they were all innocent humans, Spider-Man couldn't bring himself to kill them, so he could only try his best to control them with webs.
At this time, the police also arrived, and while evacuating the crowd, they helped Spider-Man fight together.
They no longer treated Spider-Man as a criminal; Spider-Man was the hero of New York City!
Meanwhile, through her internship at the Osborn enterprise, Gwen had come into contact with the healing serum in the laboratory.
She was worried that Peter wouldn't be able to spare his hands to deal with the Green Goblin, so she wanted to help him find the antidote as soon as possible.
Taking advantage of the chaos, she broke into the Osborn building and successfully got the serum in the laboratory; just as she was about to leave, the grinning Green Goblin appeared in front of her.
A jump scare similar to those in horror movies startled the audience; it was a little prank by director Marc Webb.
