Date: 2009-07-30 06:56 pm (UTC)Well, Harry was being a big pussy and drama queen. He's not worth the effort :P

Date: 2009-07-30 06:55 pm (UTC)Though I should say that it's also kind of refreshing change from the way drug addiction storylines seem to often go on network TV. There you seem to always get situations where all their friends are only worried about them destroying themselves and planning interventions and all that no matter what the other person does. Where as in real life drug addicts can actually just be very annoying, and people often need to just ot deal with them to avoid getting sucked into the morass.
Also, I didn't realize Peter's rage was coming from so many other things, as somebody explained below. That explains a lot of his attitude that seemed a little much.

Date: 2009-07-30 07:07 pm (UTC)For me, what makes Peter seem dickish here is his attitude about the whole thing. "Harry brought this upon himself, and there isn't much I can do to help him since he won't get off the drugs. Meanwhile, Gwen Stacy's murderer is still on the loose. I can't stop Harry from doing LSD but I CAN stop the Green Goblin from killing again" would sound reasonable.
But he phrased it more like, "Should I stay here to help my whiny little bitch of a friend, or should I go kill the guy who wronged me? Hmm... killing it is! Ha, ha! As if mere friendship could stop me from getting my revenge on!"
But, then again, Peter was going through a terrible time just then so I guess one can excuse him for being so overwrought about it all.

But learning that Gwen recently died explains to me at least why he's being so contemptuous of Harry. It seems like it's kind of a kicking the dog moment rather than the way Peter automatically reacts to drug use.

Date: 2009-07-30 06:45 pm (UTC)Harry's hopped up on LSD again.
Harry's alienated just about every friend he's got, including his girlfriend, Mary Jane Watson.
Harry has refused to get off drugs, but instead keeps hitting harder and harder stuff.
Harry's dad MURDERS Peter's girlfriend.
Yeah, I'm not seeing Spider-dickery, here.

Date: 2009-07-30 07:04 pm (UTC)And 'refused' to get off drugs? It's an addiction, it's not like refusing to change your stinky socks. I don't think Peter's acting horribly here, but Harry isn't entirely unsympathetic.

Date: 2009-07-30 08:01 pm (UTC)Hell, Peter's even slightly berating himself and recognizing his own selfishness....but Harry's REALLY testing his loyalties, here. Bad enough his father is Peter's greatest enemy; bad enough that his father JUST KILLED THE WOMAN HE LOVES; but on top of everything else, when Peter needs him most, he's falling apart, from Peter's perspective. He's filled with Anger, Self-Loathing and Despair...and Harry's a convenient target.
Peter's shining moment? Not by a long shot...but not exactly dickery in my mind.
