Go Down Swinging is a 2018 Spider-Man storyline. This is the final storyline of The Amazing Spider-Man (Dan Slott).Peter Parker is at the lowest he's been - he's lost his company and his money, he's mocked by the world at large, forced to live in a pathetic apartment and crawled back to the Daily Bugle for work. Conversely, Norman Osborn is at the top of his game. Thanks to obtaining the Carnage symbiote, his Green Goblin powers are active once again and he's stronger than ever. Now he's ready to crush Spider-Man once and for all. No one is safe as the deadly Red Goblin is born, gunning for Spidey and all of his friends and loved ones. Spider-Man must meet him head on and, if he has to, he will Go Down Swinging.This story serves as Dan Slott's swan song for the Amazing title before moving over to Tony Stark: Iron Man for the Marvel: A Fresh Start initiative.The arc starts in The Amazing Spider-Man #797 and ends with the issue #800 Milestone Celebration. One more issue was published, as an epilogue to Slott's run, before the series was cancelled and relaunched. | |

Hulking Out | |
Go Down Swinging (Comic Book) / int_164bd5fd | comment |
Hulking Out: When Flash reveals he used up almost all of the Anti-Venom symbiote to foil Osborn's ultimate plans, the Red Goblin sics his Carnage Glider on Symbiote Spider-Man to get him out of the way and then proceeds to murder Flash. Spider-Man Venomizes, rips the Carnage Glider to shreds, and punches Red Goblin across the city while roaring that he's going to eat his brains. Flash uses his dying moments to calm down Peter and the symbiote. | |

Underestimating Badassery: Peter accepts Osborn's Deal with the Devil because he's realized that Osborn doesn't care about Peter Parker at all, he just wants to be rid of Spider-Man. So Peter's going to fight him on his own terms, putting the "Genius" in Genius Bruiser. | |

Obstructive Bureaucrat | |
Go Down Swinging (Comic Book) / int_1f799027 | comment |
Obstructive Bureaucrat: Liz Allen engages in this after Norman blackmails her into signing over Alchemax's ownership to him, showing him the documents and outlines that he legally can't own it, ever. Unfortunately, Norman reminds her that he worked for the company in his Mason Banks disguise and knows a workaround: the entire company was made with a beneficiary clause that would eventually see the company in Normie's hands, along with his legal guardian... or surviving legal guardian. (And, since murdering someone to take control of their company is illegal... Liz is still technically right.) | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
Go Down Swinging (Comic Book) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: WAAAAAAAAAY back before Slott took over, Peter aided Loki, who offered to give him a favor at any time. Slott takes that off the table at the end of the prequel storyline "Threat Code: Red" by having Loki trick Spider-Man into rewinding time to save a life Loki manipulated Spider-Man into endangering. Peter does get one simple night with Bobbi Morse and his Aunt May as part of this. Loki cheekily mentions to himself that Peter should have used it a lot more wisely, and he's about to be in a place where he could really use a favor from a Norse god who's also Sorcerer Supreme. Similarly, Alchemax's artificial Anti-Venom material from the "Venom, Inc." storyline is brought up as a potential weapon against the Red Goblin. The Red Goblin destroys it before Spidey can get to it. Those shards the Red Goblin shot into his targets were more than just the initial damage, which is why he left as soon as he'd barely hurt Mary Jane. He retained control of them over a distance and intended to use them to cause the agonizing simultaneous deaths of everyone in Peter's life. | |

Ironic Echo: When Spider-Man Depowered Green Goblin, he slunk away stating that Spidey had only dealt with the Ax-Crazy Goblin, never the sane Norman Osborn. When Osborn returns as the Red Goblin and forces him to give up being Spider-Man, Peter muses that Spider-Man has tapped out, but Peter Parker is still standing. | |

However, Flash Thompson dies protecting Spidey from Osborn's rampage and it seems that Normie still has a portion of the Carnage symbiote in his system. | |

Hope Crusher: Norman Osborn can't stand the fact that no matter how many people close to Peter he hurts, he never breaks his spirit. In the finale, Norman sees Peter save random bystanders and realizes that Peter actually really does care for these bystanders, and notes that if he had known that all along he would have killed as many innocent people as he could. He then proceeds to bomb the hell out of Time's Square killing countless civilians while Peter, as Norman gloats, only saves five people. | |

Go Down Swinging (Comic Book) / int_90a1fbd4 | comment |
Split-Personality Takeover: Double Subverted during Norman Osborn's fusion with the Carnage symbiote. The two fight back and forth to dominate the other, the symbiote takes control of him and murders his two loyal operatives despite his protests, but when it notes that it enjoyed that more than normal, Osborn suggests it has grown bored with random slaughter and desires the creativity he can provide, persuading it into giving him full control. Played Straight after the symbiote is destroyed mid-fusion with Osborn. Cletus Kasady's personality appears to have overwritten Osborn's. | |

Death by Secret Identity: Invoked, defied, and played with. Jonah brings a gun and intends to execute the Green Goblin, reasoning that his knowledge of Spider-Man's secret identity left him too dangerous to leave alive. Spider-Man takes the bullet himself rather than let that happen. However, the destruction of the Carnage symbiote at the moment of fusion with Osborn causes a Split-Personality Takeover that makes Osborn unaware of Spider-Man's identity and believing himself to be Cletus Kasady, essentially killing his identity. | |

Irony: Norman spent his appearances leading up to this event trying to find some way to restore his insanity, and once that's been done, to remember Spider-Man's Secret Identity. Being linked to the Carnage symbiote as it's incinerated leaves him a babbling, giggling mess who can't even remember who he is, let alone who Spider-Man is. | |

Internal Reveal: Flash discovers Spider-Man's secret identity, overhearing Silk refer to him as "Pete", and uses that information to reason out who Red Goblin's targets are. It's short lived, unfortunately, as his revealing this to Peter is immediately followed by the Red Goblin murdering him. | |

This is quickly followed by Harry ramming a Goblin Glider through Norman's chest. Sadly, it doesn't end up doing much to hurt him this time. | |

Badass Fingersnap: Norman Osborn uses one to activate the shards of the Carnage symbiote he left in the victims of his previous attacks, killing them all in unbearable agony all at the same time. It fails due to Flash Thompson running interference with his Agent Anti-Venom powers. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Clash, in so many words, when the combined assault of his sonics and Johnny Storm's fire has zero effect on Red Goblin. | |

Ship Tease | |
Go Down Swinging (Comic Book) / int_dcb9c541 | comment |
Ship Tease: Since Slott is ending his run, he does his best to seed a potential reconciliation between Peter and MJ for Nick Spencer to pick up the baton (Spencer already worked on his script for his first issues when Go Down Swinging was hitting the stands, and made it clear that he wanted them back together) while still maintaining his status-quo (so as not to steal Spencer's thunder). Peter and MJ experience their romantic tension again, but MJ once again expresses fears about Keep the Home Fires Burning and worries for his life. She also confirms that she needs Peter and loves him, and the story has Peter state that Aunt May and MJ are his family. MJ does insist that Peter leave her apartment in his costume (because in MJ's current occuptation, having a hero leave is less awkward to explain than your former lover) but says, "Sorry Tiger". By the time she, Venom, and Spidey stave off the Red Goblin, they are warmer towards each other for the first time since before Superior Spider-Man and MJ gets miffed when Peter says that Goblin will go after MJ because she's near the top of the list of the people he cares about: | |
