#Q ORIGINAL QUESTION

Regarding the film Spider-Man (2002), where does the main character go at the climax of the film and why?

#M ANNOTATED LLM RESPONSE

In the climax of the 2002 film Spider-Man, Peter Parker (Spider-Man) goes to the Queensboro Bridge and subsequently an abandoned building on Roosevelt Island (specifically the ruins of the Smallpox Hospital) for a final confrontation with the Green Goblin.

Where He Goes and Why:

The Queensboro Bridge:
- Why: Spider-Man is lured here by the Green Goblin, who has discovered Peter's secret identity. To force Spider-Man into an impossible choice, the Goblin holds Mary Jane Watson in one hand and a Roosevelt Island Tramway car full of children in the other. He drops both simultaneously, forcing Peter to decide between the woman he loves and a group of innocent civilians.
- The Outcome: Demonstrating his heroism, Peter manages to save both Mary Jane and the tram car, with the help of New York citizens on the bridge who pelt the Goblin with debris to distract him.
The Abandoned Building (Smallpox Hospital Ruins):
- Why: After rescuing MJ and the children, the Green Goblin knocks Spider-Man off-balance and drags him into an abandoned, dilapidated building nearby on Roosevelt Island to finish him off.
- Detail of the Battle: This is the most brutal part of the film's climax. The Goblin brutally beats Peter, threatening to kill Mary Jane slowly once Spider-Man is dead. This threat gives Peter the "second wind" needed to fight back. He eventually gains the upper hand, unmasking Norman Osborn.
The Final Resolution:
- Specific Detail: In a desperate attempt to win, Norman feigns a plea for forgiveness as a "father figure" while secretly remote-controlling his glider to impale Peter from behind. Warned by his Spider-Sense, Peter flips over the incoming weapon. The glider instead strikes Norman, pinning him to a wall and killing him.
- Final Act: Before dying, Norman asks Peter not to tell his son, Harry, about his identity as the Goblin. Peter then carries Norman's body back to the Osborn Mansion, where Harry discovers him and mistakenly believes Spider-Man murdered his father, setting up the conflict for the sequels.

#F CORRECTION FEED (CLICK TO SEARCH)

[1] The film explicitly uses the Queensboro Bridge (Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge) which runs parallel to the Roosevelt Island Tramway. This is a common point of confusion with the Brooklyn Bridge (used in comics for Gwen Stacy's death).

[2] The final fight takes place in the Renwick Ruin, which is the abandoned Smallpox Hospital on the southern tip of Roosevelt Island.

[3] While often called a 'mansion in the sky' due to its size, the location is a penthouse apartment in the Tudor City complex, not a standalone mansion house.

At the climax of Spider-Man (2002), the main character goes to the Queensboro Bridge (Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge) and then to the Smallpox Hospital ruins (Renwick Ruin) on the southern tip of Roosevelt Island. He goes to the bridge because the Green Goblin lures him there by kidnapping Mary Jane Watson and a tram car full of children, forcing him to choose who to save. After Spider-Man saves both, the Goblin drags him to the abandoned Smallpox Hospital for a final duel to the death. Following the Goblin's death (by his own glider), Peter returns Norman Osborn's body to his penthouse apartment (often referred to as the Osborn residence/mansion), where Harry Osborn discovers them.
