No it's a joke it wasn't scary at all. I grew up on legend, jarasic park, lost boys and freaking Tim Burton Batman Wich Danny as penguin was way more scary and creepy then this green goblin. If you call that scary you must of been afraid of your own shadow.
@@kingdamazo7266no im scared of roller coasters with straight down dropps. And being up really high but high that's a logical fear especially if I'm on something that doesn't feel sturdy or could potentially have issues one day. Where talking about a movie and a villain that wouldn't of been in the movie masked up till the very end. So yah i will say your afraid of your shadow if you cant handle character in a mask saying a few creepy lines and throwing pumpkin bombs.
I read a rumor that in No Way Home when Aunt May stuck the serum into Norman’s neck, it was supposed to make him green like the comics but they scrapped it and simply said “it didn’t work”
It makes sense for him to say that instead. It helps imply that Goblin came back whilst the serum was in the middle of being created and he sabotaged it
@@boogasloogas8359 I just meant that I felt the other mask would have been more emotive than the metal helmet. Don’t get me wrong what we got was iconic and I love it but I also like this other one :)
@@ProphecyNimbus30904I think that the issue is that with a stiff animatronic face Willem’s performance would have to be limited to the stiff mouth movements of the animatronics whereas under the mask he’s able to perform however he wants.
@@vulturedroid7674 no the real issue is that it was too scary for children or some dumb crap so they scraped it. If you watch the full test footage of the mask there was no issues with facial expressions so it wasn't a limitation factor it was was just a scary factor. Keep in mind there parents send complaining letters to Hollywood everyday. So just like the cancel culture of today parents and teachers bread that behavior into the kids of today. Nothing but a bunch of butthurt people with nothing better to do.
The armor mask was the better call in my opinion since it let him give a better performance with his facial expressions for when he took it off rather than a face mold
@@lincoln2408 if they had used the face mold he wouldn’t have been able to give as great of a performance like in the final version when he was talking to Spider-Man near the end of the movie before his death
@@johnjackson8327OP is referring to Defoe unmasked - if there was an animatronic mask you would never get his facial expressions when he takes it off. You can actually see his face through the mask around the mouth and eyes anyway, so he was still expressive.
That "next time" already happened, I very much doubt they'll bring the Goblin again in a long while. It doesn't make sense for Tom to get his own Goblin after NWH... Now Kingpin on the other hand.
@@pastashack3517 sadly that’s true. Reminds me of the Thing remake in 2011 they did the whole movie in practical effects like the original then some dumbass executive said they had to cover it all up in cgi then they ruined it
I wish they have him some prosthetic during no way home. William De Foe is so expressive, but a little make up and some enhancements would take his performance over the edge.
Eh i like the way they did it the way the chemical altered his mind into a split personality that's very obvious in the movies is a cool way to show a "monster" that's really just a person
I think it's fine to have an actors face covered up because they can use other ways to get across they're emotions and yeah it sucks a little that we don't get Willem face shown alot but I think his acting makes up in other ways like his body movements or his voice
Plus you can see every bit of emotion in his face either way since his mouth is visible in every shot beneath the mask and so are his devil like crazy eyes
@@giodominguez365 You’re both right. What op is referring to is the metal mask. Dafoe specifically wanted to break that mask in No Way Home because of how uncomfortable it made him in 2002 and how uncomfortable it still made him to wear.
Im glad it was changed. Not only does the armor look cooler, but also if he looked like that, then you wouldn't be able to see Willem Dafoe's fantastic acting performance. Dafoe is what makes this version of Green Goblin my favorite Spider-man villain.
I like the transformation more As it would've been more in line with the comics and had his original design more in tact as I'm more of a fan of OG Giblin design compared to the green armor we got
I think the armor should have been worn by Harry, while Norm was transformed. Harry took up his fathers name and suit anyways so it would have made more sense.
This just shows that the Raimi movies are heavily inspired by the Ultimate comics. I'm pretty sure Norman turning into a big green guy was from the Ultimate comics. Honestly, the Raimi movies are basically: 90s Cartoon + Ultimate Comics
Steve Ditko originally wanted the green goblin to be an alien from egyptian pyramids before they decided to make it a superstrength serum for Norman Osborn to use.
The latex mask was very emotive, and definitely more than the metal one. Though I think reducing the metal mask to like a smaller one that only covers the upper face, then giving him the hood is a good work around
@@radrno7 im a military contractor, I can fabricate a mask over our existing tech in a few hours... nah f that, imma run to Spirit Halloween, and let me do some make up. .. ya know... im somewhat of a special effect make up artist myself.
Yeah looks so good. Wouldve made it more memorable but i also am pretty happy with what we got. I did pray this would be used for no way home but sadly it wasnt.
I TOTALLY AGREE 👍👍👍👍 ! They MOST DEFINITELY should have used the animatronic "GREEN GOBLIN" face because it's comic book accurate AND looks a lot more terrifying than the metal faceplate that they ended up using and all 🙄🤦😒 !
Which is probably one of the reasons they didn’t use it. With the target audience being kids, there was no way the film be as popular as it is today. Too traumatic for children.
What’s cool about the metal mask is that even with a covered up face, you can still distinguish every emotion in William’s performance as his mouth and eyes are always visible Beneath the mask and you can always see his mouth make the most inhuman smiles and laughs which is a cool detail that I think most people don’t recognize
You can tell a lot of the scenes were written with this original design in mind. And while Dafoe did his best, his performance was hindered by the thick metal mask
I would like to see his skin turned green with his larg pointy ears, short fangs and his eyes turned yellow with red veins or yellow glowing goggles but definitely a hood on his head like the Far From Home movie. So like I said green skin, pointy ears, short fangs and yellow eyes is all he needed because he really had the perfect face and demeanor for the character.
They artificially straighted his teeth when he was Norman and used his normal teeth for the goblin to signify the difference in personality when the mask was off
Another fun fact: when the idea of Green goblin was first being created he was originally supposed to be an actual goblin that got released from an ancient tomb. But Stan Lee thought it would be more interesting for it to be a man behind a mask
They must have changed the whole plot with that decision. There are scenes with Norman when he's not being the Goblin that we couldn't have gotten if he was transformed.
We could have easily lived without the scenes of him screaming into a mirror. We already know Goblin is a lunatic, we don't need to see that over and over
Well I didn't know they were going to have him morph into a Goblin. I always though that it was going to be a mask like the comics and 90s cartoon. I think a good compromise would've been the original Goblin face as a mask so we can still get Dafoes great performance when the mask was off.

Let's be honest William Dafoe doesn't need a mask....
On that...we can ALL agree!😊
Props to No Way Home for realizing that and for utilizing the purple hoodie and the Goblin armor the way they did.
@@aidankeohane3370on god but it was used for like 5 minutes and then he takes it off
His face is already a mask
"Out am I?" With a face so snarky despite just getting fired from the job
That actually looks really fucking cool.
Agreed
Dafoe looks cooler
AGREE 💯 !!!!
Who needs an animatronic face when there is an actor like Willem Defoe who can deliver such a fantastic performance
Even just Dafoe's performance outside the suit terrified me as a kid. This would've sent me to therapy.
😂😂😂😩for real!

@@aaronkenyon7112Still, they could have his sabotaging be why his face turned green.
It did work
This is literally what the goblin mask is in the comics
Yeah real shame they didn’t cover dafoe’s performance as the goblin. Especially with a thick metal mask.
Lol I know what a stupid person. Contradicted himself and probably didn't even realize it. Just goes to show content creators aren't always bright.

Well Robert Pattinson knew from the start at the very least.

Funny thing about Willem Dafoe, his name kinda sounds like a frog talking to a parrot.
Willem....daFoe !
That would have looked so raw thats as accurate as his costume was fr. That is a top tier prop
I wish they went with the original one only cause it would end a trend of having green goblin be a power ranger

He almost went Green Goblin Mode
Not to discredit the final mask, but I think this is genuinely the best the Green Goblin has ever looked In live action that old mask is so amazing
That animatronic mask was still pretty tight tho.
Glad they didn’t use it in 2002
But next time they do Green Goblin they should strongly consider that idea
Exactly
That "next time" already happened, I very much doubt they'll bring the Goblin again in a long while.
It doesn't make sense for Tom to get his own Goblin after NWH... Now Kingpin on the other hand.
It would work wonders for Hobgoblin for sure. Just a more realistic looking goblin instead of armor or a mask
Next time there's a new iteration of Green Goblin, it's gonna be a CGI face. There's not the incentive to do it practically like those anymore.
@@pastashack3517 sadly that’s true. Reminds me of the Thing remake in 2011 they did the whole movie in practical effects like the original then some dumbass executive said they had to cover it all up in cgi then they ruined it

Then imagine "No way Home?" 😳
Fully transformed goblin pretending to be normal while everyone acts like nothing unusual is happening.

Like David Prowse or Hayden Christensen as Darth Vader.
EXACTLY !
That looks really good . Wish we got this
the reason why they didn’t was because dafoe had thought the mask was uncomfortable on his head
@@edaartistno it wasn’t, dafoe nvr even put this suit on😂
@@edaartistnd also it was to scary for the kids back then
@@giodominguez365 then who wore the animatronic

“Some might say Willem Dafoe has a motorized goblin face.”
"You know, I'm something of a goblin myself."
William Dafoe is already THE goblin.
Im glad it was changed. Not only does the armor look cooler, but also if he looked like that, then you wouldn't be able to see Willem Dafoe's fantastic acting performance. Dafoe is what makes this version of Green Goblin my favorite Spider-man villain.
That’s fucking awesome, I hope this idea makes it into a movie somehow
Damn I look mad disgustingly beautiful.
They learned their lesson in No Way Home at least
But perhaps we could use it for it in the future like have the puppet face in one of the new spiderman films alternate universe
I like the transformation more
As it would've been more in line with the comics and had his original design more in tact as I'm more of a fan of OG Giblin design compared to the green armor we got
I think the armor should have been worn by Harry, while Norm was transformed. Harry took up his fathers name and suit anyways so it would have made more sense.
I know right? It would of been more accurate and better like in the comics
Am I the only one that thinks it looks way better like that.
They couldn’t make a goblin mask to work. So they decided to get the man with the goblin face.
This just shows that the Raimi movies are heavily inspired by the Ultimate comics. I'm pretty sure Norman turning into a big green guy was from the Ultimate comics.
Honestly, the Raimi movies are basically:
90s Cartoon + Ultimate Comics

The spectacular spiderman tv show version does resemble a pharoah in some ways. The shape of the eyes and eyeliner, pharaoh chin, and mummy bandages
The puppet rack actually would have shown more range than that awful Halloween mask we got !😢
Yup
The mask kinda fit better for me 🤷🏽♀️
Yeah its way better
A friend of mine owns that mask. It's the crown jewel of his costume/prop collection.
Damn, he lucky he has that good quality mask. He should definitely wear it at comic con. People will appreciate his cosplay
Proceeds to have a mask cover his face
The latex mask was very emotive, and definitely more than the metal one. Though I think reducing the metal mask to like a smaller one that only covers the upper face, then giving him the hood is a good work around
But it didn’t look good on camera in 2002
Just a makeup mask would've been fine.

Yeah looks so good. Wouldve made it more memorable but i also am pretty happy with what we got. I did pray this would be used for no way home but sadly it wasnt.
Well the original comic did have him turn physically into a goblin.
Idk what y’all are talkin about, that mask would’ve made him 10x scarier of a villain, with Willem’s voice behind it, nightmare fuel
I TOTALLY AGREE 👍👍👍👍 ! They MOST DEFINITELY should have used the animatronic "GREEN GOBLIN" face because it's comic book accurate AND looks a lot more terrifying than the metal faceplate that they ended up using and all 🙄🤦😒 !

I love the Goblin Armor
It would’ve been cool if he physically transformed into the fleshy goblin than being a man in inanimate armor
Or if they just kept the mask with the inanimate armor
"you know how muchhh sacrificed!?!" Is the best scene you fan visibly see the snger in his eye his voice everything!
The fact that the lenses would open up to show willems eyes made the suit 10x more terrifying
Funny how in TASM2 they a actually went with the “Transforming into the Goblin” concept.
That was sick
Yeah they just made him look like a crackhead instead of a goblin.
Going Green Goblin Mode
He can still do his performance with that mask
What’s cool about the metal mask is that even with a covered up face, you can still distinguish every emotion in William’s performance as his mouth and eyes are always visible Beneath the mask and you can always see his mouth make the most inhuman smiles and laughs which is a cool detail that I think most people don’t recognize
it’s through his dialogue that makes it work. which proves how great an actor Willem is.
@@Masssshysteriathere’s also that too for sure!
They should have done that in Spiderman 3 with his son
Yup! My thoughts exactly.
Green goblin Armor was good❤ !
If it wasn’t a physical transformation the mask that they would have made him wear looks more accurate to Green Goblin’s design in the comics.
This green goblin is insane 😮🤯🤯
"Impressive!"
* Kick!
You can tell a lot of the scenes were written with this original design in mind. And while Dafoe did his best, his performance was hindered by the thick metal mask

So like I said green skin, pointy ears, short fangs and yellow eyes is all he needed because he really had the perfect face and demeanor for the character.
Okay but that puppet looked very impressive with the movements
The puppet faced seems more like something for a really comic accurate style look
They artificially straighted his teeth when he was Norman and used his normal teeth for the goblin to signify the difference in personality when the mask was off
Actually, that first design was the original Green Goblin
Another fun fact: when the idea of Green goblin was first being created he was originally supposed to be an actual goblin that got released from an ancient tomb. But Stan Lee thought it would be more interesting for it to be a man behind a mask
The first guy to the right of the table clutching his pearls at the green goblin 🤣🤣🤣
I would love to see the goblin suit used in the 1st Spiderman movie wrapped in the symbiote.😱😱
It actually looks comic accurate but I'm willing to suspend disbelief to get William Dafoe preformance.
That man ages like fine wine, And I'll hear no different.
They must have changed the whole plot with that decision. There are scenes with Norman when he's not being the Goblin that we couldn't have gotten if he was transformed.
We could have easily lived without the scenes of him screaming into a mirror. We already know Goblin is a lunatic, we don't need to see that over and over

If they ever bring toby mcguire spiderman back, they should save that look for hobgoblin.
Dude, that's LITERALLY HIS MOUTH in the tests.
William dafoe smile was scarier above it
Honestly while I like the armor better the scraped design actually looks incredibly cool
I want a version of the Goblin that uses these practical effects.
Spiderverse?? 😁
Yeah i know right
The armor is badass glad they stuck with that
Yeah I would have preferred that concept over the metal mask they used.
You couldn't really see his face while in his armor so having him " transform " into the goblin with that mask would've been fantastic.
He already had a mechanical goblin face
nah that’s actually very sick
Norman Osborn was already goblin-ish without the costume.
The mask is too iconic
"It would've been a shame to cover that up with a puppet face".
So they covered it up with a rigid plastic Halloween mask instead. Genius.
Didn't they just cover up his face with a expressionless mask in the final product?
I feel it worked better. Amazing Spiderman 2 ended up becoming a dud when they tried practical effect with Harry
"much scarier". 😂
He didnt need a mask that dude can smile like a mf demon
something I really liked about No Way Home was that we got to see his face more bc his expressions are fantastic
normans on sabatical honey
Its better when you have absolutely no idea which one is talking
Good. Regular green goblin gave me enough nightmares as a kid. 😭
I thought the design they actually used was scary when I was a kid 💀
Scary? This armor was friggin awesome. Even as a kid i loved his armor.
Oh no the haunted mask from goosebumps is back😭😢😰
I like green goblins design in Spiderman 1
It's too comic book accurate and I've never said that before
Man that would’ve been cool looking, but Spider-Man is iconic
So like the venom animatronic
Didja Knaw ..
The scream was used in scary maze.
That mask looks sooo good!
