In the video, the Green Goblin presented Spider-Man with a real problem.
On one side were children, and on the other side was his beloved woman. Green Goblin taunted Spider-Man, claiming only fools become superheroes, bound by the rules and laws of ordinary people, turning into chains that restrain themselves. He argued that madmen like him can completely unleash themselves.
Commissioner Gordon scoffed, "He's right; lunatics indeed love doing such things." After saying this, he glanced at Arthur and Bruce Wayne.
In a previous future video of Joker's confrontation with Batman, the insane Joker posed a similarly cruel choice: the beloved woman or the White knight, symbolizing hope - choose one. Naturally, Bruce Wayne felt deeply moved at this moment.
Arthur shrugged, "Isn't this kind of thing common? Unfortunately, people are constantly faced with tough choices - either abandon their dignity, lose their job, or make decisions between life and livelihood."
Peter Parker frowned, " Mr Arthur, you're just trying to justify this! The Green Goblin is too cruel, and inhumane. How can he harm those innocent and helpless children"
Arthur smirked, "Come on, buddy, have you ever worked? When you have to support your family, the boss makes you work tirelessly, with no moment to rest. You neglect your family, and your lover, and even ignore being sick to go to the hospital. Honestly, what's the essential difference between that and what the Green Goblin is doing?"
Bruce Wayne coldly said, "Don't be swayed by this madman, Peter. As long as we uphold justice, we can stop all of this. No matter what he says, it can't wash away the sins of Joker and the Green Goblin!"
Arthur couldn't help but burst into laughter at Bruce's words. The other viewers naturally didn't share his eccentric thought process and started condemning the shamelessness of the Green Goblin, wishing they could rush into the video to help Spider-Man.
"Make your decision, Spider-Man. If you want to be a hero, you must pay the price... Destiny is in your own hands!"
In the video, the Green Goblin didn't waste any more time, mocking Spider-Man, and then, with a wave of his hands, both Mary Jane and the children in the tram fell from high above.
Spider-Man, with a mask covering his expression, appeared to be in a complex and conflicted state. Worse, he had no time to contemplate.
Almost in the instant the Green Goblin let go, Spider-Man rushed towards Mary Jane. Many viewers couldn't help but sigh at this scene. Objectively speaking, if they were in Spider-Man's shoes in the video, they wouldn't know how to choose. But as viewers, they naturally hoped that Spider-Man would bravely choose to save the innocent children, sacrificing his beloved woman.
Unfortunately, Spider-Man didn't do that...
But soon, they realized they had guessed wrong. Spider-Man's choice in the face of the problem was - I want them all!
He first ran out to catch the falling Mary Jane, then used his web to swing to the other side of the cable car, timely grabbing the cable. One hand held the cable, and the other dangled from a web, connected to the bridge above. It seemed fragile but possessed incredible resilience.
At this point, whether in front of the video screen or among the players, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief for Spider-Man. Soon, applause and cheers erupted, celebrating Spider-Man's heroic act.
However, Spider-Man hadn't completely resolved the problem at this point. The web, though resilient, was starting to struggle, especially with Mary Jane clinging to him like a sloth, making it difficult for him to move.
Spider-Man could only encourage Mary Jane to climb down the cable on her own, allowing him to free up his hands and rescue others.
At this moment, the Green Goblin, still watching on the side, seized the opportunity to intervene. Using a glider, he flew in to cause trouble, punched Spider-Man, and planned to use a bladed glider to stab him in mid-air.
It was evident that the Green Goblin enjoyed tormenting Spider-Man. This was also his cruel side. While it seemed like Spider-Man endured a lot, if the Green Goblin didn't dawdle, throwing pumpkin bombs directly at Spider-Man or using the glider's missiles, Spider-Man might not survive.
In the end, the Green Goblin played with fire and got into trouble. A crowd gathered on the high bridge, having witnessed the entire confrontation between Spider-Man and the Green Goblin. Seeing Spider-Man bravely saving people, some daring individuals in the crowd stepped forward to help, throwing whatever they could at the Green Goblin, aiding Spider-Man.
There were also boats passing on the river below, risking danger to sail under the tram to catch them. Everyone collaborated, and the tram, along with Mary Jane, landed safely on the boat.
Both inside and outside the video, viewers cheered and shouted in amazement. In the eternal space, Commissioner Gordon even gave Spider-Man a thumbs up, "Well done, kid. Your heroic act is admirable!"
Peter Parker scratched his head, smiling shyly, "Commissioner Gordon, this is something I did in the normal timeline's future. I haven't actually experienced it."
Bruce Wayne said, "Peter. The hero in the video is you. And haven't you always been committed to doing good?"
At this moment, Arthur sincerely praises Spider-Man, "Well done, Peter. When I was your age... Haha, I was still being treated at the mental hospital."
As he spoke, he stared at the video screen, his eyes filled with envy.
Arthur was a lonely person, yearning for recognition from the outside world and others. In his future video, he became a chaotic and restless hero in Gotham, an idol of the mind, even if it was his own delusion. However, it also meant that Arthur genuinely hoped for attention and recognition, aspiring to be a true hero, even if a mad one.
The praises and applause from the audience and players couldn't solve the trouble for the future Spider-Man in the video. Although he saved everyone, it cost him a considerable amount of energy. The Green Goblin seized the opportunity to take him away, throwing him into an abandoned mansion nearby.
Spider-Man reacted quickly, using his web to swing around within the dilapidated mansion. However, in the end, he had to break a window to enter, landing not so gracefully.
