How classic is that?
Most of Spidey’s long-term problems could’ve been avoided if he’d just ignored Gobby here, or if some other hero had gotten to him first. Just generally, how crazy is it to think that one of the most intense rivalries in comics started with a scheme to trick Spidey into thinking he was going to act in a movie?
Also, the more I think about it, the less sense the broomstick makes thematically, wouldn’t it be a lot more fitting for a witch or wizard character instead of a Goblin?
No wonder Norman replaced that broomstick with a glider in his next appearance. That *has* to be so uncomfortable flying around like that. And how does he keep from tipping off of it?
