And its a special quote from the caracter himself after the events of the first movie When he wanted to team up with spidey, like a quote from the roof talk scene
I find great admiration in the profound manner in which those diverse quotations elucidate the inherent dissimilarities between goblin and Spider Man. As the insightful comment aptly observes, a parallel can be drawn between the infamous Joker and the enigmatic vigilante, Batman.
@anonymous-hz2un Another reason why Batman and spiderman share a stronger parallel is because they share the concept of leading dual lives. Batman is Bruce Wayne, a billionaire playboy, and Spider-Man is Peter Parker, a high school student. This duality creates internal conflicts and adds depth to their characters. In contrast, Tony Stark (Iron Man) and Norman Osborn (Green Goblin) primarily operate under their own identities and don't have secret alter egos in the same way.
Wish the movie had more of him watching this fight scene again I notice theres a lot of unnecessary cuts. Like we dont need to cut to see Aunt May running down the stairs in the middle of a fight scene
@@samlung2724 I also heard that when he was approached to play Norman/Green Goblin again, he asked as a condition to not use any mask, so he could show all his facial expressions. I'm so glad that happened.
@@aaron90omaryeah it’s crazy that the best version of goblin we got didn’t need special effects, prosthetics, etc to pull it off. Just Willam F’n Defoe’s acting prowess..
Hes always been an incredible actor but yes in this movie he really did steal the show even while being surrounded by an all star cast. Platoon will always be his BEST performance tho
It's consistent with his character. You're right, Otto was never a bad person. Spider-Man 2 portrayed him as a good man before the accident that turned him into Doc Ock. He lost control of his mind to the tentacles' A.I. and was corrupted by them. It made sense that once he was 'cured', he'd immediately switch sides and help out the heroes.
Sandman too. He just too confused which side he should on. I remember the part where he was in the pit of sand at the factory site, he just heartbroken and feeling guilty at the same time. Until the end, Tobey Spiderman make him good again, because it was not his fault that uncle Ben died, It's his partner's fault. It's normal for him to feel guilty and when Tobey Spiderman trying to talk him out, he chose to forgive sandman and knows all he do is for his daughter. It's kinda sad.
@@kormankongther8609 Yeah, Spider3 was bloated and Sandman was unnessary but I didn't have a problem with how they portrayed his character. EXCEPT, it turns out he was the one who actually shot uncle Ben.
@@kormankongther8609 I don't think Sandman is confused about which side he should be on. Flint seems like he's on his own side. He just wants to go back home to his own universe. That is ultimately all he cares about. He gets stuck in the middle of the fight between the villains and the Spider-Men. He admits during the final battle that he doesn't care about curing the villains. He was only fighting against the Spider-Men at the Statue of Liberty because he wanted to use the box to get home. He knew the other villains were trying to destroy it and he wasn't going to take any chances. Also, it WAS his fault that Uncle Ben died. While it may have an accident in the sense that Flint never meant to shoot and only did so on reflex because his partner startled him, Flint was still the one there holding the gun and intending to steal Ben's car. If he hadn't been doing what he was doing that night then Ben would still be alive, and Flint probably knew that deep down. He's still responsible, and that's why he felt guilty.
@@Nay-kp6uu Nah, that's not that much of a problem. Other adaptions did it differently. One of them had it being that Felicia's dad was Uncle Bens killer for instance.
This is what i love about the Goblin. He's not like other villains who commit crimes because of certain circumstances. He's just evil for the hell of it.
Rewatching 2002 Spider-Man with my gf recently, I had forgotten the shot where they demonstrate that Norman has super-strength. Obviously it plays into the fight scenes, but my childhood association with the Goblin was that he just flew around and blew stuff up. I think it was a much more effective way to establish Norman's threat as a villain that NWH made a much more overt representation of the physicality that the serum afforded Norman. You never see Peter get smacked around because of the whole Spiderman thing, Marvel writers just CANNOT get over the whole "Spiderman is a spider so he's stronger than his size" thing and have him stopping Hulk punches with his finger and shit. It's really nice seeing Peter really get his ass beat, Marvel's obsession with making Spidey stronger than everyone else really diminished the stories involving character in my eyes, yes he obviously has some maturity lesson to learn in order to overpower Norman in the end, he is Peter Parker after all, but yeah man that shot was by far my favorite in the entire movie. The use of the dolly zoom to represent the Spidey-Sense here is my second
that movie was mainly boring , too casual, Holland's Spiderman/Parker wasn't as cool and interesting as Tobey Maguire but when Dafoe's Goblin and Molina's Doc Ock , are on the scene , the movie suddenly become badass and entertaining. their scenes were the best.
@@Ppilldd here is another prime example of the modern internoid trying to deny someone of having an opinion that differs from theirs. Truly the internet has done wonders to todays society.
Tom wasn't lying when he said that this particular scene was pretty scary. I knew it was coming yet it still caught me off guard with how quickly the atmosphere changed after Peter's sense went off. Amazing Scene
This film managed to really capture super strength in a way they never really managed with the Hulk or Thor. Hits feel really impactful- the physics looks believable instead of cartoon like.
@@Rageren winter soldier has some of my favorite fight sequences of all the movies. Everything feel exaggerated like a comic books, but in a believable way
It’s so funny to me people see this and are genuinely impressed when that’s how acting used to be. You used to have these great actors who could just embrace and body every role no matter the genre we still have some actors like that today but far and few between it’s sad I agree though phenomenal performance William Defoe is amazing
1:35 this scene gets across everything anyone needs to know about Green Goblin. Tom Holland's Peter never even really *interacted with him* before this , but his Spidey sense was going *nuts* the moment he emerged, screaming at him that he was in the room with a *monster* The entire fight afterwards being an effortless beatdown in the Goblin's favor was just the cherry on top.
That’s an interesting thought. He’s fought Thanos who just felt he was doing was right, in HC his villain was just a criminal, Green Goblin though is an actual evil being. This Spider-Man definitely has a great Spidey Sense especially when he beat Mysterio but all of a sudden being in the room with a brand new intense evil must have been so unsettling.
@@balinn01 they could actually be right that the spidey sense predicted harm coming to may, the way the spidersense works is it stems from a connection to the web of life, basically making it a cosmic ability
1:34 the fact that Peter can actually sense when Norman is becoming green goblin shows how OP the spider senses is. Not only can it detect incoming attacks, it can sense killer instinct.
@@BloodHoundPLYou can literally see it, he literally stumbles and collapses out of sheer sensory overload, he didn't even start to turn into dust until midway through his last words to Stark.
Clearly you haven't watched legend with Tom cruise. A great latex mask with expression and some face paint and it would of added to his performance. The latex mask is what's missing from the green goblin performance. Without the costume you don't have a marvel movie just a movie. And that's where you all fail to realize matters in this franchise. Otherwise why are you a fan if you don't wanna see the costumes come to life. Imagine every super hero without a mask and just powers and digital effects. At that point your just watching superman without the eye lasers or flying or the cape.
It was going to be the green goblin mask like from the cartoon and comics but it was too complicated, so it was just the metal head and costume of the green goblin
that movie was mainly boring , too casual, Holland's Spiderman/Parker wasn't as interesting as Tobey Maguire but when Dafoe's Buffoon is on the scene , the movie suddenly become badass and entertaining
The fact that Peter's Spidersense was acute enough to detect the Green Goblin being in control of Norman is amazing. It's also so unnerving seeing him detecting a threat, but not having any idea of where it is. Kind of like someone screaming "WATCH OUT!" at you the entire time, but you having absolutely no idea what to watch out for because there's nothing wrong for you to notice.
A lot of people dont understand how scary this scene is. The fact Spider-Man is pulling his punches because he can't fathom the true strength the Green Goblin has, like when Tom starts wailing on Dafoe's face and he laughs it off like it was painless. That always gives me the chills. I get goosebumps everytime I replay this scene
They make it clear in the rematch that Peter wasn't holding back anymore, just based on how quickly he beat Goblin in said rematch. Peter was also wounded for the remainder of the movie, after his first encounter with Goblin. So the fact that he bodied Goblin so quickly in the rematch is a true testament to his own will and endurance!
4:11 That backhand from Goblin was absolutely brutal. I think people often forget how absurdly strong the Green Goblin is. This fight made him look like a tank.
Something I like about Peters realization in this fight is that every enemy in the normal MCU usually has a pretty logical reason for the things they do even if they are wrong, green goblin is the first form of pure evil he has to face and it breaks him wide open
5:52 you know you’ve lost the fight when you’re WAILING on someone’s face and they’re just laughing at you like that.. I know he was pulling his punches and that’s why Goblin found it funny, but still that moment of the fight gives me chills
@@jevz7512yes he was bro. Even after goblin laughs his punches off Tom still was pulling his punches, just a little less. You can literally see at the end of the movie when he beats goblins ass that he wasn’t pulling his punches at all and not holding back.
Love how the Goblin starts laughing at Spider-Man punching him repeatedly. I get the sense Peter was still holding back, but it’s different here as Norman is the *strongest* human he’s ever fought up until this point, and he has no idea at the power scale of the enemy he’s facing
I think it's more that this is the point when Peter really starts getting angry and fighting back with everything he has, and this makes the Goblin happy. He wants to see Peter enraged and losing control.
@@solid5502 No. Just the 1st Goblin/Spidey fight not the overall comparison between the two movies. How you feel about the Dark Knight....you won't get an argument out of me.
He and Sandman really shouldn't have been in this movie. They served no real purpose and were the least developed of the Sinister 5 who fought Spider-Man.
Lizard running down on the side of the building and telling Peter 'I told you there would be consequences' as he grabs him by the face and throws him back into the building was so epic!
@@ncube2468hell yeah , you almost don’t know if it was to help Peter not be seen by the news copter or if he was helping Norman by bringing spider man to him to continue the fight. Or maybe both because he was tryna teach him a lesson about not taking his advice
I disagree with that. As others have mentioned, Lizard warned Peter as he was debating whether or not to save them (the villains), “Trust me, Peter. When you try to fix people, there are always consequences.” He made him pay. On the other hand, when Sandman clarified how Doc Ock & Goblin died by saying “they both die fighting Spider-Man”, that was the moment where they understood their fate, and secretly motivated them to change the outcome. Flint isn’t a bad person, I believe he just decided to join the villains at that moment Electro throws Ock through the wall because the momentum was on their side.
Three things i absolutely love in this scene: 1. The way green goblin is literally smiling and laughing whist being beaten up is horrifying, props to willems incredible performance. 2. The spidersene scene was just perfection. 3. The beep.......beep.........beep from the electros device made the tension 10× bigger and scarier. Great decision
The tension build from Tom's spidey senses going off and no one knowing why, including him, at first was something Marvel really has never dabbled in. The idea of him knowing something is wrong, but not knowing what in a room full of villains felt like treading water with a thirty foot shark nearby. I loved the malaise you feel in that scene, and how Pete is looking at everyone and everyone is as scared and clueless as he is because they're afraid that he's afraid. The best utilization of the Spidey Sense in a Spiderman movie. There is no greater fear than seeing someone you look up to, trust, and feel protected by contort their face into fear in response to something they see that you can't. Then he shoots Norman and Goblin comes out, as if goblin was hiding in plain sight the entire time. Love that scene, Marvel needs to do more scenes like that.
To me it felt more like an observation then spider sense kicking in. Maybe I felt that way because of the lack of Utilization of the spider sense like you said. Because if he was able to pick up Norma than he should’ve been able to pick up on electric wanting to steal that power core. It just felt like Tom decided to accept his gut that something was wrong. This is just my opinion and how I felt doing that sense.
@@whynot5568honestly Tom's spiderman actually has better use of spider sense than any other spider man movies had. Especially after mysterio fight in FFH.
I absolutely love the fact that MCU peters spider sense is so damn strong he could sense that goblin took over Norman’s body before anyone knew what was going on.
2:39 i love how when he turns his head when the light hits his face. Subtly showing his dark side coming to the light and that Osborn is no longer there, only goblin.
People seem to forget that the Green Goblin, outside of his battle suit and tech, is as strong as THE original Spiderman, and this scene shows it. Since Green Goblin is a super soldier in his own right, I wonder how he would fair against the original super soldier Captain America. Surely he doesn't have enough combat experience, but with strength level near or same as Spiderman he could've powered through Captain America like pre-rehabilitation Bucky. Hell, if fully suited, I think Green Goblin would even give the Mark 3 Palladium reactor Ironman a run for his money, since Ironman is just a rich boi in a suit, GG is a super soldier WITH a suit.
In the first Spider-Man movie, Green Goblin is able to hold an entire tram cab when he gives Spider-Man the "sadistic choice" to save MJ or let the kids die. That car on it's own is a couple tons and he held that with one hand.
I love this so much because this version of Peter has never faced an evil like this before. They did an absolutely brilliant job at displaying Goblin as Spider-Man's greatest enemy.
Yeah, I guess but the only downside is that this wasn't his green goblin, it was Toby's...someone else's. That adds an aura of disappointment because he's not having his Spider-Man moment with his own Green goblin
@@JTCLAN1Yeah but the whole point of this film was multiversal villains. Like, it would have been so easy for them to chuck Vulture in here just to make it a SS and I'm glad they didn't. Also, he very much became 'Tom's villain' when he killed Aunt May tbf. He took more from Tom that the other Spider villains in the MCU and more than he took from Tobey tbh.
@@JTCLAN1I see it in a different way. It's great he had to face Toby's green goblin because Tom's spiderman had never faced an evil force like him before, and, in a way, continues green goblins character, he failed to corrupt Toby but has a new spiderman to corrupt
I love this scene. It's maybe the first time Peter is sensing something completely and utterly evil. Even Thanos had good intentions of a sort. Astounding direction.
It's also Green Goblin at his most evil. In Spider-Man 1 he was mostly following Norman's dark desires to the extent that Norman was cleary cooperating with the Goblin. Here, their motives have COMPLETELY diverged with Norman existentially distressed and just wanting to go home, whereas the warrior Goblin wants to dominate new land. This effectively cuts Goblin off from the humanity still within Norman and allows him to fully unleash his malevolence on Peter. Spider-Man 1 Goblin THREATENED to kill Aunt May and Mary Jane. In NWH, Goblin succeeded (although Andrew Peter intervened).
It's such a cool little nod to how dangerous goblin is: he doesn't really HAVE motivations or any kind of drive. He just TAKES, anything and everything he desires on pure impulse. No empathy, laughing in the chains of morality and sanity. There is nothing more dangerous than that. Thanos can be reasoned with, the Vulture can be understood and Mysterio can be unmasked, but the Goblin is just pure insanity in a bottle.
Thanos murdered millions of families. I am so sick of people defending it. Imagine a dictator came to your city and killed half of everyone there. Say you survive but you see your mom or dad get annihilated.
The direction for Peter’s Spider-Sense is phenomenal here. It’s absolutely bone chilling to see Peter be genuinely fearful and scared of whatever the spider sense is trying to tell him. Peter looks at everybody individually, some even multiple times, and yet he still cannot figure out what the threat is that his spider-sense is freaking out about. It isn’t until Peter stops, ignores his fear, closes his eyes, and focuses on his senses that he can locate the threat. What Peter didn’t realize though, as he still is fairly inexperienced with his Spider-sense, is that his sense was going ballistic because it knew just how big of a threat the goblin was as soon as it took over Norman. Peter’s inexperience caused him to underestimate the goblin and get his ass kicked. Wonderful direction, and easily the best and most enticing use of Spider-Sense in live action to date
As soon as Dafoe replied to Doc Ock's statement of finally being free from his darker side, I instantly nudged my husband in the cinema and whispered "He's switched, that's 100% Goblin." Husband didn't agree until second rewatch and then was stunned how I managed to pick it up. I was confused how he didn't notice the voice or mannerism changes between Ock saying the darker side line and SpiderMan shooting web at Dafoe's hand.
2:35 is dare I say the best part of this whole scene. The way Willem slowly turns his head and starts to talk in his chilling goblin voice leaves you going OH CRAP HERE WE GO, and then the whole movie from that point forward just hits different in a dark way.
Really shows how much talent Dafoe has. There he is in nothing but a hobo coat, surrounded by a villains dressed to the nines in their best cgi…and with one single head turn he instantly becomes the scariest person in the room. I reckon even if you hadn’t seen the Raimi films and knew what was coming, the way he talks, moves and treats people is far more unsettling than anything else going on
They took the dark concept from the first 3 and put it in this one smh how can they outdo this one. Sam Raimi is a fucking Beast. Still hoping for Spiderman 4 with tobey
at 4:00, just noticed that Green Goblin removed the web only with his one hand while Captain America needs Hawkeye to remove it for him in Civil War. Implying that Green Goblin's serum might be superior than the super soldier's.
Yup in a interview William defoe said he wasn’t gonna come back if they tried to water his character down and make him childish, all comedy like how they do the other mcu characters ‼️ they let him do his on thing and kept if rated r he literally tortured a teen killed his ant, played mind games with Peter, didn’t care about him being a kid, beat him horribly and kept it rated R … thank you William defoe for keeping it real and not letting the mcu and Kevin fiegee change your character 🤝
@@joelvalencia6738 Technically it is I don't give a freak what Feige has to say No wonder he fired his writers for the upcoming daredevil reboot cause he knew his ideas were piss poor
If you think about it, Norman is a super soldier. In the OG trilogy, Oscorp was developing the the enhancement serum and the glider/goblin suit. Peter had already "fought" two super soldiers, but neither were really trying to hurt him. Bucky punched him once and Steve dodge him. Fighting the Goblin, quickly realizing how strong he was, Peter tried to fight accordingly, only to find out he was the only one holding punches. Fighting the Goblin is like fighting an unhinged Winter Soldier, but worse.
@@BigHaze322He is TRULY IS😊 Watch the final fight in Spider-Man 1. The movie never explained to us how long the Green Goblin was waiting for Spider-Man to come to the rescue. The Green Goblin was holding the wire to The Roosevelt Island Tramway ONE HANDED while holding on to Spider-Man's girl with the other😮 Tom Holland's Spider-Man has no idea what he's dealing with. Poor kid😅😅😅
Um no. The Green Goblin literally gave Peter a Spine buster so hard they went through several stories of solid concrete floors. Generating that much force from just a jump... I'm not sure if you realize this. But those floors could, and floors are designed to hold tens tons of weight and be structurally sound. To pile drive yourself and someone else through multiple of them, only being stopped by the ground floor, would require a force equal to HUNDREDS of tons. These two would tear Bucky and Cap apart
Goblin is a far superior super soldier to Cap and Bucky in both the movies and the comics. He's always been a little slower, weaker and less durable than Spiderman but he's at least comparable. We're talking bullet dodging speed and strength enough to lift 10s of tons. In the first Spider-Man movie he held a cable car full of people with one hand casually enough to wait for Spider-Man to arrive and then monologue for a few minutes. Cap and Bucky are peak human, maybe slightly superhuman. Goblin is easily 10x stronger than them
It’s hella crazy to see Willem Dafoe as Goblin without his mask. The only time we had a scene like that was that part with the mirror in the original movie.
1:39- 2:34 all this moment gives shaking chills, well in Peter's gaze, you can feel that he doesn't know where or who he feels the danger will come from.. the best scene of the spider sense I think.. The Goblin's entire monologue is chilling and shocking: "Gods do not have to choose, and these are not curses but gifts" yes, he made references to the other spiderman movies
It really was, though. It was Peter's first bout with true evil. Goblin is evil for the sake of being evil. All the others in that room had their own motives for doing what they did but not Goblin. Come to think of it, all of Peter's prior villians had personal motives for doing what they do. So yeah, he has ever faced anyone like Goblin before. Not even Thanos set his sense off like this!
5:37 I can't get over how he throws Pete through a wall and instead of just hopping into the hallway, he boots the door off and makes his own entrance😂
@bum bastic agree that he was basically spider iron man and that he needed to get back to his roots. But disagree that his friends and family were badly written. They were written for this day and age. Making a teenager have the same problems and personality of older iterations would be bad and unbelievable.
@bumbastic3991 If you are a fan you would understand that the homecoming series is MCU spider man origin story. In your previous comments you listed flaws Tom spiderman has, great fucking fantastic!!!! flaws are what make good heroes its what makes them relatable it allows them to grow. Tom's Peter has learned alot, gone through alot and for most of the time we have seen him he has been a teenager and is only now the same age as Tobey spiderman was at the end of Spiderman 1. Have some fkn perspective We have had 3 spiderman in the last 20 years what do you want 3 exact same versions? Sounds like you want some pipedream version of spiderman without any growth and you want them to be exactly the same that sounds like poor writing and laziness.
The fact that May was burning Sage in 2:10 is also a nice occult touch. Sage is used in occult to draw out and expose evil spirits... and The Goblin… metaphorically speaking…is an evil spirit inhabiting Norman's body.
The direction of the Spider-sense sequence here rocks. The fact that the Goblin's presence is something so sinister and evil that it can be subconsciously picked up on enriches Dafoe's character so much.
I loved that about this scene, Goblin persona is so evil that Peter's senses went off and picked up on personality change. Also if you pay attention Otto also picked up on something being off about Norman. Also Goblin's theme for this scene is superb, it starts out quite (dormant but fully aware Goblin persona) and it becomes more louder, chaotic and darker as it goes, just as Goblin persona is taking over and demolishing Peter on screen.
This may just be my favorite fight scene in the entire MCU. The build-up, tension, and dialogue are great. It feels brutal without feeling tryhard. It has some of the most interesting shots and camera work specially for the cramped hallway scenes and going in and out of the building.
1:38 by far the most powerful Spider-sense, it sensed the Goblin taking over Norman plus it was warning Peter that an “event” was about to occur, it’s why he had called May because something within his sense was linking her. It was trying to warn him that he was going to lose her today.😢 his Spider sense sensed….a Canon Event
@@KBlade1 They work well with one another because they share similar ideas about the world and how to 'fix' it. But they often fight because of their differences in thoughts at times as well. Personally, I always thought the original Goblin was terrifying, and he really was shown then to push Spider-Man to his limits, when he was still green, however just like in that original Sam Raimi film, in this one we start to see Spider-Man not holding back and we start to see him physically growing stronger. Goblin knows he can't take HIS Spider-Man, since by the end of it he is defeated and beaten up by Spider-Man, but he can definitely take THIS Spider-Man.
This movie finally made justice to Willem Dafoe's amazing acting: his Green Goblin performance deserves no mask hindering it. Just a hood and goggles as it should've been since the first movie (maybe only adding pointed metal ears protruding from the hood to complete the look). He totally sells Goblin and Osbourne as totally different people, depicting pure raw madness and agression.
@@InitialPC I do understand the choice, however, Dafoe is almost another person altogether in Goblin mode. If we can buy into Robin's mask, we can buy into only goggles and a hood.
@@diogohenriquemagal6960I mean the original trilogy did an excellent replicating the comic characters up until they did movie 3 with venom. Dafoe in the Goblin suit was amazing
I actually really like the Goblin outfit in Spider-Man 1. I’d just make the mask/helmet smaller, and give it a less shiny, grittier look to the whole outfit, like Daredevils suit from the Netflix series. That would be perfect in my opinion. I dig the hoverboard too.
Peter just feeding Goblin punches and all he does is smile and laughs, then powerbombs spiderman through the floor. My goodness what a scene. Best spiderman movie ever made
This movie accomplished a huge mile stone that was never done in live action till now. They got Norman Osborn and Otto Octavious in the same room 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾.
I love how spider sense is demons y all three Spider-Men in the movies. Tobey’s appears to be instant detection. Andrew’s appeared to be more of a reactive reflex, and Tom’s appeared to seemed to be directionary of the danger.
Andrew's seems like it detects dangerous situations (it notifies him that bystanders are about to be electrified by metal railings, and it goes off as Gwen is falling), and Tom's seems to warn him about the alien spaceship in New York and the Goblin. Honestly Tom's seems the weakest in terms of instant detection, what with the Lizard attacking him with no warning from his sense whatsoever
@@cube7439 Well he's just been beaten half to death by the goblin so I'd imagine his body is extremely tired so his spider sense isn't working as well as it should, he sensed the personality change in goblin so his sense must be pretty strong normally
I love the part of this scene where Peter is trying to sense who the threat is. Like green goblin is such an overwhelming threat that it creates an aura where he’s making everything seem like a threat.
That's a really good point. The Goblin was such a huge threat that it kind of bled into the entire room and Peter couldn't even hone in on him until he closed his eyes and focused. I think this perfectly captures the idea that his senses are "dialed to 11".
It’s a throw back to the first Rami Spider-Man as well when Toby was in the crowd at the World Unity Day and he could sense danger coming but couldn’t understand where it was coming from. The Goblin has an aura of horror and destruction that’s really unmatched.
1:28 gotta love how The Lizard was able sense the presence of The Green Goblin as well as Spider Man could. Must be one of the perks of animal transformation
He was talking about the TV crew and Jameson, who were about to catch Peter red-handed helping very dangerous people. Which would be the consequences of trying to change people Lizard mentioned before. The Goblin was something Lizard was not aware of, still a good surprise on his side.
With his animal acute smell like all lizards. I think he probably smelled the hormonal changes in normans body switching to the Goblin as with MPD its a complete change when the other guy” takes over
2:49 you can see and hear the fear from Peter when he says “the goblin…” which suggests while he doesn’t have a frame of reference he clearly gets that whatever the hell this guy is, he’s a very serious and terrifying threat…which he is. After watching all 3 Tobey mguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom holland spider movies I feel I can safely say William Defoe’s green goblin is by far the most terrifying and evil threat to grace the big screen. Strong as hell, lethally cunning, and of course scary and evil as fuck. Even in the animated show way back when the only villain that kinda scared me to the same degree was Carnage.
What makes this scene so good is the perfect depiction of peters spider sense sensing something unlike anything he has felt before. The look on his face is sheer terror because he just felt something evil flr the first time. The way he calls to may first because he knows something terrible is coming. His face depicts both fear, and anxiety. The precence of the goblin is so powerful in this, peter becomes totally ovwrwhelmed. That topped with having never faced the goblin before, and peter being so young. What an amazing scene. Topped off with willems amazing acting chops.
I think what makes this scene even MORE intense and emotional is that when his Spidey Sense goes off, its screaming to him that there is a threat and that his Aunt May is in danger, herself. He instantly calls for her to make sure she is ok, not knowing the real tragedy would soon take place. RIP May.
When I first saw this I was absolutely stunned bc not only did it CAPTURE his spidey sense going NUTS when goblin came forward when no one knew. But how He looks around the room as if he sensed the DANGER in all of THEM. in that moment. Absolutely stunning!!
Willem Dafoe knocked it out the park in this film, like he normally does tbh, what a fight, what acting, what a menace, scary, creepy, threatening and super strong as hell!!
William Defoe showed some serious acting skills here. The Jekyll & Hyde transformation is brilliant. From a sane, scientist to a total 100% headbanger psychopath in the blink of an eye. He has a seriously mobile face and a deliciously evil tone of voice. He enjoys being what he is, unlike the others.
I said that after winter soldier then after civil war then after guardians then after infinity war then I said that after endgame. This movie is awesome but I trust them to deliver again
@@ben99687 eh. captain and ms marvel are both pretty meh characters right now. the writers are gonna need to pull their heads out of their asses from the past few movies if they want the marvels to succeed
I just will never get over the chills and experience of seeing this in a cinema on day one with all the other fans. The fact it worked as a story and everyone put in 100% despite Sony's goal for fan service makes it so much better.
He's stronger than Captain America by far. That should tell you a bit about his strength. He's probably one of the rare few that can take Peter if Peter stopped pulling his punches.
His purple hoodie gradually tearing away gradually to end up looking like a relatively faithful comic book Green Goblin outfit is absolutely spectacular.
“Strong enough to have it all, too weak to take it.” Is like the perfect antithesis to “With great power, comes great responsibility.”
And its a special quote from the caracter himself after the events of the first movie
When he wanted to team up with spidey, like a quote from the roof talk scene
That why Green Goblin is to Spider-Man, what Joker is to Batman.
I find great admiration in the profound manner in which those diverse quotations elucidate the inherent dissimilarities between goblin and Spider Man. As the insightful comment aptly observes, a parallel can be drawn between the infamous Joker and the enigmatic vigilante, Batman.
"Your strength has returned. But your weakness still remains!"
@anonymous-hz2un Another reason why Batman and spiderman share a stronger parallel is because they share the concept of leading dual lives. Batman is Bruce Wayne, a billionaire playboy, and Spider-Man is Peter Parker, a high school student. This duality creates internal conflicts and adds depth to their characters. In contrast, Tony Stark (Iron Man) and Norman Osborn (Green Goblin) primarily operate under their own identities and don't have secret alter egos in the same way.
William Dafoe was already the perfect person to play the Goblin in the first movie.
He literally outperformed HIMSELF. Took it to a 1000%
Dafoe really gives 200% on every role he portrays, no matter the genre, no matter the movie.
Greatest supervillain in live action superhero movies imo
Norman's on sabbatical honey... might be the coldest lines in history
Removing the mask was the best decision, really showed his perfect face expressions as goblin
Wish the movie had more of him watching this fight scene again I notice theres a lot of unnecessary cuts. Like we dont need to cut to see Aunt May running down the stairs in the middle of a fight scene
Just when you thought Willem Dafoe couldn't outdo himself as the Green Goblin, he gives us this. Big kudo's to the director and writers.
Also loved the fact that Willem did most of his own stunts. He said if he can't do his own stunts, then he's not worthy playing Green Goblin
This was awesome
@@samlung2724 I also heard that when he was approached to play Norman/Green Goblin again, he asked as a condition to not use any mask, so he could show all his facial expressions. I'm so glad that happened.
@@aaron90omaryeah it’s crazy that the best version of goblin we got didn’t need special effects, prosthetics, etc to pull it off. Just Willam F’n Defoe’s acting prowess..

William dafoe blew my mind in this movie. His acting was incredible.
The way he turned from da-FRIEND to da-FOE is mind blowing
His acting is always mindblowing. Whether it is Spiderman, John Wick 1, or any other movies he partakes in.
yeah, that made me hate the character absolutely.
If it weren't for Andrew's big moment, he would've single-handedly stole the show.
Hes always been an incredible actor but yes in this movie he really did steal the show even while being surrounded by an all star cast. Platoon will always be his BEST performance tho
I love how they kept Otto as a good guy cause he really wasn’t a a bad person
It's consistent with his character. You're right, Otto was never a bad person. Spider-Man 2 portrayed him as a good man before the accident that turned him into Doc Ock. He lost control of his mind to the tentacles' A.I. and was corrupted by them. It made sense that once he was 'cured', he'd immediately switch sides and help out the heroes.
Sandman too. He just too confused which side he should on. I remember the part where he was in the pit of sand at the factory site, he just heartbroken and feeling guilty at the same time. Until the end, Tobey Spiderman make him good again, because it was not his fault that uncle Ben died, It's his partner's fault. It's normal for him to feel guilty and when Tobey Spiderman trying to talk him out, he chose to forgive sandman and knows all he do is for his daughter. It's kinda sad.
@@kormankongther8609 Yeah, Spider3 was bloated and Sandman was unnessary but I didn't have a problem with how they portrayed his character. EXCEPT, it turns out he was the one who actually shot uncle Ben.
@@kormankongther8609 I don't think Sandman is confused about which side he should be on. Flint seems like he's on his own side. He just wants to go back home to his own universe. That is ultimately all he cares about. He gets stuck in the middle of the fight between the villains and the Spider-Men. He admits during the final battle that he doesn't care about curing the villains. He was only fighting against the Spider-Men at the Statue of Liberty because he wanted to use the box to get home. He knew the other villains were trying to destroy it and he wasn't going to take any chances.
Also, it WAS his fault that Uncle Ben died. While it may have an accident in the sense that Flint never meant to shoot and only did so on reflex because his partner startled him, Flint was still the one there holding the gun and intending to steal Ben's car. If he hadn't been doing what he was doing that night then Ben would still be alive, and Flint probably knew that deep down. He's still responsible, and that's why he felt guilty.
@@Nay-kp6uu Nah, that's not that much of a problem. Other adaptions did it differently. One of them had it being that Felicia's dad was Uncle Bens killer for instance.
This is what i love about the Goblin. He's not like other villains who commit crimes because of certain circumstances. He's just evil for the hell of it.
I mean the serum did cause him to have a split personality so...
@@DHehsgssisi77exactly lol and this mf wanna act like he's being evil ON PURPOSE😂

some straight WWE shit, i loved that part so much
@kevonwilliams2401 And the sound Norman makes while doing it sends me xD
And no CGI for it. Watching it make my back hurt
It's Majestic how glorious that butt whooping is delivered
Rewatching 2002 Spider-Man with my gf recently, I had forgotten the shot where they demonstrate that Norman has super-strength. Obviously it plays into the fight scenes, but my childhood association with the Goblin was that he just flew around and blew stuff up. I think it was a much more effective way to establish Norman's threat as a villain that NWH made a much more overt representation of the physicality that the serum afforded Norman. You never see Peter get smacked around because of the whole Spiderman thing, Marvel writers just CANNOT get over the whole "Spiderman is a spider so he's stronger than his size" thing and have him stopping Hulk punches with his finger and shit. It's really nice seeing Peter really get his ass beat, Marvel's obsession with making Spidey stronger than everyone else really diminished the stories involving character in my eyes, yes he obviously has some maturity lesson to learn in order to overpower Norman in the end, he is Peter Parker after all, but yeah man that shot was by far my favorite in the entire movie. The use of the dolly zoom to represent the Spidey-Sense here is my second
I love how Willam DeFoe and Alfred Molina are still able to bring so much great personality to these characters after so long.
It is a very sad that their characters did not stay as Friends for way too long in this film!
that movie was mainly boring , too casual, Holland's Spiderman/Parker wasn't as cool and interesting as Tobey Maguire but when Dafoe's Goblin and Molina's Doc Ock , are on the scene , the movie suddenly become badass and entertaining. their scenes were the best.

Fits him very well. Bro never was really as into the whole villain thing as the others. He was just tryna make his way out back to his family

Was searching for this one 🤣👌@@SSHDomi
The smile too. Willem is amazing. Lol
I was about to come and say this. His delivery gives shivers down to my spine
1:35 this scene gets across everything anyone needs to know about Green Goblin. Tom Holland's Peter never even really *interacted with him* before this , but his Spidey sense was going *nuts* the moment he emerged, screaming at him that he was in the room with a *monster*
The entire fight afterwards being an effortless beatdown in the Goblin's favor was just the cherry on top.
That’s an interesting thought. He’s fought Thanos who just felt he was doing was right, in HC his villain was just a criminal, Green Goblin though is an actual evil being. This Spider-Man definitely has a great Spidey Sense especially when he beat Mysterio but all of a sudden being in the room with a brand new intense evil must have been so unsettling.
The fact that he even said “May” meaning his senses predicted something terrible was going to happen to May.
@@justauser8224or that sometime terrible is in presence. The first person in that room he would be worried about in terms of safety is his aunt.
@@balinn01 they could actually be right that the spidey sense predicted harm coming to may, the way the spidersense works is it stems from a connection to the web of life, basically making it a cosmic ability

@@eyeseer1 No. The word is anxiety.

1:34 the fact that Peter can actually sense when Norman is becoming green goblin shows how OP the spider senses is. Not only can it detect incoming attacks, it can sense killer instinct.
It gets stronger as he gets more experienced/older. In some of the comics its pretty much esp type precognition.
Just imagine what his Spider Sense was doing to Peter right before him being snapped by Thanos.
@@BloodHoundPLYou can literally see it, he literally stumbles and collapses out of sheer sensory overload, he didn't even start to turn into dust until midway through his last words to Stark.

@@BloodHoundPLi dont feel so good🥺
Just goes to show Willem Dafoe’s face is better than any mask Hollywood could build. Love how he actually insisted on doing these stunts himself.
That man’s face, demented grin and chilling laugh haunted my nightmares as a kid lmao
Clearly you haven't watched legend with Tom cruise. A great latex mask with expression and some face paint and it would of added to his performance. The latex mask is what's missing from the green goblin performance. Without the costume you don't have a marvel movie just a movie. And that's where you all fail to realize matters in this franchise. Otherwise why are you a fan if you don't wanna see the costumes come to life. Imagine every super hero without a mask and just powers and digital effects. At that point your just watching superman without the eye lasers or flying or the cape.
@@Aaron_Heininger Good point, Counterargument, Shut the fuck up it's Willem Dafoe.
Apparently when he took a couple of punches from Peter and started grinning and laughing, that's Tom real reaction and it wasn't scripted.

Hi Obi wan
Hello there
Hello there
The fact that Peter's Spidersense was acute enough to detect the Green Goblin being in control of Norman is amazing. It's also so unnerving seeing him detecting a threat, but not having any idea of where it is. Kind of like someone screaming "WATCH OUT!" at you the entire time, but you having absolutely no idea what to watch out for because there's nothing wrong for you to notice.
That was my experience playing Ocarina of Time, tbh
It's like having a "Press Shift to run" pop-up in a horror videogame
You explained the spidey sense really well. Its basically having a big "WARNING." feeling and you have to guess yourself where it is
@@ArcoYeouioh my (July 3rd,2023 and July 7th,2023/Another 2 hours (7 to 9)).
Yeah. He sensed Goblin's evil and intentions.
A lot of people dont understand how scary this scene is. The fact Spider-Man is pulling his punches because he can't fathom the true strength the Green Goblin has, like when Tom starts wailing on Dafoe's face and he laughs it off like it was painless. That always gives me the chills. I get goosebumps everytime I replay this scene
Read the comments clown. Plenty of people understand, youre not the only one.
Yea people sometimes forget goblin is one durable ass mf
Yeah he's no jive turkey, especially so close to Thanksgiving.😅
They make it clear in the rematch that Peter wasn't holding back anymore, just based on how quickly he beat Goblin in said rematch. Peter was also wounded for the remainder of the movie, after his first encounter with Goblin. So the fact that he bodied Goblin so quickly in the rematch is a true testament to his own will and endurance!
@@isuckatlife7841 Yeah, Tobey dropped a whole brick wall on Goblin and he took it well.

I was afraid the filmmakers would have forgotten lol. Remember how the final battle in Spider-Man 1 had the Goblin thrashing Spider-Man?
Used to watch that on repeat as a kid with my siblings😅 don't know why but we found that super entertaining

@@vulturedroid7674 The Rami Spider Man movies never really did a good job with displaying super strength in battles in my opinion.
Something I like about Peters realization in this fight is that every enemy in the normal MCU usually has a pretty logical reason for the things they do even if they are wrong, green goblin is the first form of pure evil he has to face and it breaks him wide open

Nah bro he was stunned when he smiled and ate those punches to the face

At least Sandman helped out when Electro arrived
Lizard running down on the side of the building and telling Peter 'I told you there would be consequences' as he grabs him by the face and throws him back into the building was so epic!
@@ncube2468hell yeah , you almost don’t know if it was to help Peter not be seen by the news copter or if he was helping Norman by bringing spider man to him to continue the fight. Or maybe both because he was tryna teach him a lesson about not taking his advice
I disagree with that. As others have mentioned, Lizard warned Peter as he was debating whether or not to save them (the villains), “Trust me, Peter. When you try to fix people, there are always consequences.” He made him pay.
On the other hand, when Sandman clarified how Doc Ock & Goblin died by saying “they both die fighting Spider-Man”, that was the moment where they understood their fate, and secretly motivated them to change the outcome. Flint isn’t a bad person, I believe he just decided to join the villains at that moment Electro throws Ock through the wall because the momentum was on their side.
Three things i absolutely love in this scene:
1. The way green goblin is literally smiling and laughing whist being beaten up is horrifying, props to willems incredible performance.
2. The spidersene scene was just perfection.
3. The beep.......beep.........beep from the electros device made the tension 10× bigger and scarier. Great decision
2. That's not really how spidersense works though
The tension build from Tom's spidey senses going off and no one knowing why, including him, at first was something Marvel really has never dabbled in. The idea of him knowing something is wrong, but not knowing what in a room full of villains felt like treading water with a thirty foot shark nearby. I loved the malaise you feel in that scene, and how Pete is looking at everyone and everyone is as scared and clueless as he is because they're afraid that he's afraid. The best utilization of the Spidey Sense in a Spiderman movie. There is no greater fear than seeing someone you look up to, trust, and feel protected by contort their face into fear in response to something they see that you can't. Then he shoots Norman and Goblin comes out, as if goblin was hiding in plain sight the entire time. Love that scene, Marvel needs to do more scenes like that.
Very well said man
If you pay attention, Otto also pick up on something being off with Norman.
Yea the spider sense is extremely under utilized in the franchise. This scene was extremely good.
To me it felt more like an observation then spider sense kicking in. Maybe I felt that way because of the lack of Utilization of the spider sense like you said.
Because if he was able to pick up Norma than he should’ve been able to pick up on electric wanting to steal that power core.
It just felt like Tom decided to accept his gut that something was wrong.
This is just my opinion and how I felt doing that sense.

"Gods don't have to choose, We take" My favourite line in the entire movie!
Spiderman should had taken Norman to Asgard
In Spider-man 1: "Now choose!"
In the amazing Spider-Man 2: “And I will be like a god to them” electro
Finally someone appreciating that incredible line delivered so expertly by Dafoe
Whatever, he isn't any type of god. Just a crazy man with strength that's been beat multiple times.
People seem to forget that the Green Goblin, outside of his battle suit and tech, is as strong as THE original Spiderman, and this scene shows it. Since Green Goblin is a super soldier in his own right, I wonder how he would fair against the original super soldier Captain America. Surely he doesn't have enough combat experience, but with strength level near or same as Spiderman he could've powered through Captain America like pre-rehabilitation Bucky. Hell, if fully suited, I think Green Goblin would even give the Mark 3 Palladium reactor Ironman a run for his money, since Ironman is just a rich boi in a suit, GG is a super soldier WITH a suit.
In the first Spider-Man movie, Green Goblin is able to hold an entire tram cab when he gives Spider-Man the "sadistic choice" to save MJ or let the kids die. That car on it's own is a couple tons and he held that with one hand.
I don't see how being as strong as Nicholas Hammond is anything to brag about.
why did you capitalize "the" instead of original
It's still a bit weird how fragile the building floors are though.
Spider man destroyed Green goblin once he went serious.
I love this so much because this version of Peter has never faced an evil like this before. They did an absolutely brilliant job at displaying Goblin as Spider-Man's greatest enemy.
Yeah, I guess but the only downside is that this wasn't his green goblin, it was Toby's...someone else's. That adds an aura of disappointment because he's not having his Spider-Man moment with his own Green goblin

I love this scene. It's maybe the first time Peter is sensing something completely and utterly evil. Even Thanos had good intentions of a sort.
Astounding direction.
It's also Green Goblin at his most evil. In Spider-Man 1 he was mostly following Norman's dark desires to the extent that Norman was cleary cooperating with the Goblin. Here, their motives have COMPLETELY diverged with Norman existentially distressed and just wanting to go home, whereas the warrior Goblin wants to dominate new land. This effectively cuts Goblin off from the humanity still within Norman and allows him to fully unleash his malevolence on Peter.
Spider-Man 1 Goblin THREATENED to kill Aunt May and Mary Jane. In NWH, Goblin succeeded (although Andrew Peter intervened).
@@NotAGoodUsername360I totally agree!
It's such a cool little nod to how dangerous goblin is: he doesn't really HAVE motivations or any kind of drive.
He just TAKES, anything and everything he desires on pure impulse. No empathy, laughing in the chains of morality and sanity.
There is nothing more dangerous than that. Thanos can be reasoned with, the Vulture can be understood and Mysterio can be unmasked, but the Goblin is just pure insanity in a bottle.
@@MH3Raiser He's a Joker but with scary cunning, strength, and tech.
Thanos murdered millions of families. I am so sick of people defending it. Imagine a dictator came to your city and killed half of everyone there. Say you survive but you see your mom or dad get annihilated.
The direction for Peter’s Spider-Sense is phenomenal here. It’s absolutely bone chilling to see Peter be genuinely fearful and scared of whatever the spider sense is trying to tell him. Peter looks at everybody individually, some even multiple times, and yet he still cannot figure out what the threat is that his spider-sense is freaking out about. It isn’t until Peter stops, ignores his fear, closes his eyes, and focuses on his senses that he can locate the threat. What Peter didn’t realize though, as he still is fairly inexperienced with his Spider-sense, is that his sense was going ballistic because it knew just how big of a threat the goblin was as soon as it took over Norman. Peter’s inexperience caused him to underestimate the goblin and get his ass kicked. Wonderful direction, and easily the best and most enticing use of Spider-Sense in live action to date
I also find it crazy that Doctor Connors could tell the Goblin had emerged. He felt it before Peter did...
As someone who struggled with a darker half himself, it was probably like looking in a mirror
As soon as Dafoe replied to Doc Ock's statement of finally being free from his darker side, I instantly nudged my husband in the cinema and whispered "He's switched, that's 100% Goblin." Husband didn't agree until second rewatch and then was stunned how I managed to pick it up. I was confused how he didn't notice the voice or mannerism changes between Ock saying the darker side line and SpiderMan shooting web at Dafoe's hand.

He's definitely using the Goblin voice instead of his normal voice, at least.
2:35 is dare I say the best part of this whole scene. The way Willem slowly turns his head and starts to talk in his chilling goblin voice leaves you going OH CRAP HERE WE GO, and then the whole movie from that point forward just hits different in a dark way.
Really shows how much talent Dafoe has. There he is in nothing but a hobo coat, surrounded by a villains dressed to the nines in their best cgi…and with one single head turn he instantly becomes the scariest person in the room. I reckon even if you hadn’t seen the Raimi films and knew what was coming, the way he talks, moves and treats people is far more unsettling than anything else going on
They took the dark concept from the first 3 and put it in this one smh how can they outdo this one. Sam Raimi is a fucking Beast. Still hoping for Spiderman 4 with tobey
at 4:00, just noticed that Green Goblin removed the web only with his one hand while Captain America needs Hawkeye to remove it for him in Civil War. Implying that Green Goblin's serum might be superior than the super soldier's.
If I remember correctly the serum gives an 800x boost compared to normal human limits but I could be wrong on the number
Correction: not 800x but 800% so only 8x. Regardless he should still be able to run caps fade
Might be? Goblin is far stronger than Cap lol.
From what I remember the goblin serum is better but it also obviously has the side effect of rage and insanity

I don't give a freak what Feige has to say
No wonder he fired his writers for the upcoming daredevil reboot cause he knew his ideas were piss poor
If you think about it, Norman is a super soldier. In the OG trilogy, Oscorp was developing the the enhancement serum and the glider/goblin suit. Peter had already "fought" two super soldiers, but neither were really trying to hurt him. Bucky punched him once and Steve dodge him. Fighting the Goblin, quickly realizing how strong he was, Peter tried to fight accordingly, only to find out he was the only one holding punches. Fighting the Goblin is like fighting an unhinged Winter Soldier, but worse.
I think goblin might be stronger
@@BigHaze322He is TRULY IS😊
Watch the final fight in Spider-Man 1. The movie never explained to us how long the Green Goblin was waiting for Spider-Man to come to the rescue. The Green Goblin was holding the wire to The Roosevelt Island Tramway ONE HANDED while holding on to Spider-Man's girl with the other😮
Tom Holland's Spider-Man has no idea what he's dealing with. Poor kid😅😅😅
Um no. The Green Goblin literally gave Peter a Spine buster so hard they went through several stories of solid concrete floors. Generating that much force from just a jump... I'm not sure if you realize this. But those floors could, and floors are designed to hold tens tons of weight and be structurally sound. To pile drive yourself and someone else through multiple of them, only being stopped by the ground floor, would require a force equal to HUNDREDS of tons. These two would tear Bucky and Cap apart
Goblin is a far superior super soldier to Cap and Bucky in both the movies and the comics. He's always been a little slower, weaker and less durable than Spiderman but he's at least comparable. We're talking bullet dodging speed and strength enough to lift 10s of tons. In the first Spider-Man movie he held a cable car full of people with one hand casually enough to wait for Spider-Man to arrive and then monologue for a few minutes. Cap and Bucky are peak human, maybe slightly superhuman. Goblin is easily 10x stronger than them
It’s hella crazy to see Willem Dafoe as Goblin without his mask. The only time we had a scene like that was that part with the mirror in the original movie.

1:39- 2:34 all this moment gives shaking chills, well in Peter's gaze, you can feel that he doesn't know where or who he feels the danger will come from.. the best scene of the spider sense I think.. The Goblin's entire monologue is chilling and shocking: "Gods do not have to choose, and these are not curses but gifts" yes, he made references to the other spiderman movies
That wasn't a fight. That was a one-sided beat down.
It really was, though. It was Peter's first bout with true evil. Goblin is evil for the sake of being evil. All the others in that room had their own motives for doing what they did but not Goblin. Come to think of it, all of Peter's prior villians had personal motives for doing what they do. So yeah, he has ever faced anyone like Goblin before. Not even Thanos set his sense off like this!
Yes this is the goblin that is pure evil to the core still mad that they cut out Tobey’s Spider-man and green goblin scenes
Bro got mogged logged through a whole building.
@@RexWuhaha
That slam into the ceiling into the body slam through multiple floors was fucking beast
5:37 I can't get over how he throws Pete through a wall and instead of just hopping into the hallway, he boots the door off and makes his own entrance😂
HERE'S GOBBY!
I thought he actually just walked through the wall.
PRESENTATION
It's scary how this version of the Goblin manages to beat a modern day Spider-Man.
@bum bastic Wishing harm on a hero? No. Rather, it’s good to see him grow and learn
@bumbastic3991you must be a fan of James Jonah Jameson
@bum bastic agree that he was basically spider iron man and that he needed to get back to his roots. But disagree that his friends and family were badly written. They were written for this day and age. Making a teenager have the same problems and personality of older iterations would be bad and unbelievable.
@bum bastic He is a hero. Plain and simple. He saved many people, including the entire world at the end of no way home. Case closed.
@bumbastic3991 If you are a fan you would understand that the homecoming series is MCU spider man origin story. In your previous comments you listed flaws Tom spiderman has, great fucking fantastic!!!! flaws are what make good heroes its what makes them relatable it allows them to grow. Tom's Peter has learned alot, gone through alot and for most of the time we have seen him he has been a teenager and is only now the same age as Tobey spiderman was at the end of Spiderman 1. Have some fkn perspective
We have had 3 spiderman in the last 20 years what do you want 3 exact same versions? Sounds like you want some pipedream version of spiderman without any growth and you want them to be exactly the same that sounds like poor writing and laziness.
5:05 I like how they made Electro like running through the air showing his position in a slightly human form
3:52 I am very proud because Otto has become good..he is the only enemy who wants to change himself into a good person
nah the tentacle ruined him
The fact that May was burning Sage in 2:10 is also a nice occult touch. Sage is used in occult to draw out and expose evil spirits... and The Goblin… metaphorically speaking…is an evil spirit inhabiting Norman's body.
Fun fact. It brings demons for sure
He's not an evil spirit though- it's an alternate personality that was brought on by the serum that Norman ingested in Spider-Man 1!
@BigAlvideos101 I believe it's just a symbolic touch not literal.
@@BigAlvideos101 Not literally, but in some (bad) modern comics, they made the goblin personality an actual devil possessing Osborn.
@@BigAlvideos101metaphors go over your head, huh?
The direction of the Spider-sense sequence here rocks. The fact that the Goblin's presence is something so sinister and evil that it can be subconsciously picked up on enriches Dafoe's character so much.
I loved that about this scene, Goblin persona is so evil that Peter's senses went off and picked up on personality change. Also if you pay attention Otto also picked up on something being off about Norman. Also Goblin's theme for this scene is superb, it starts out quite (dormant but fully aware Goblin persona) and it becomes more louder, chaotic and darker as it goes, just as Goblin persona is taking over and demolishing Peter on screen.
This may just be my favorite fight scene in the entire MCU. The build-up, tension, and dialogue are great. It feels brutal without feeling tryhard. It has some of the most interesting shots and camera work specially for the cramped hallway scenes and going in and out of the building.
I agree!!
1:38 by far the most powerful Spider-sense, it sensed the Goblin taking over Norman plus it was warning Peter that an “event” was about to occur, it’s why he had called May because something within his sense was linking her. It was trying to warn him that he was going to lose her today.😢 his Spider sense sensed….a Canon Event
I dont know why but Goblin saying "Quiet lapdog" to doc ock always makes me laugh
so fucking happy they got to interact. i wish they somehow did in the raimi films but at least we finally got it
It's funny how neither Goblin or Doc Oc had any respect for each other despite the clear friendship between Norman and Otto.
In other words “silence bitch”
@@christianfrost8660Fake to each other in real forms, real to each other in Villian form 😂
@@KBlade1 They work well with one another because they share similar ideas about the world and how to 'fix' it. But they often fight because of their differences in thoughts at times as well.
Personally, I always thought the original Goblin was terrifying, and he really was shown then to push Spider-Man to his limits, when he was still green, however just like in that original Sam Raimi film, in this one we start to see Spider-Man not holding back and we start to see him physically growing stronger.
Goblin knows he can't take HIS Spider-Man, since by the end of it he is defeated and beaten up by Spider-Man, but he can definitely take THIS Spider-Man.
Willem Dafoe deserves every bit of praise he’s gotten from his performance in this movie. The guy is an actual mad lad for doing his own stunts!
This movie finally made justice to Willem Dafoe's amazing acting: his Green Goblin performance deserves no mask hindering it. Just a hood and goggles as it should've been since the first movie (maybe only adding pointed metal ears protruding from the hood to complete the look). He totally sells Goblin and Osbourne as totally different people, depicting pure raw madness and agression.
Aggression*
I like the mask, it actually has a purpose to conceal his identity
@@InitialPC I do understand the choice, however, Dafoe is almost another person altogether in Goblin mode. If we can buy into Robin's mask, we can buy into only goggles and a hood.
@@diogohenriquemagal6960I mean the original trilogy did an excellent replicating the comic characters up until they did movie 3 with venom. Dafoe in the Goblin suit was amazing
I actually really like the Goblin outfit in Spider-Man 1. I’d just make the mask/helmet smaller, and give it a less shiny, grittier look to the whole outfit, like Daredevils suit from the Netflix series. That would be perfect in my opinion. I dig the hoverboard too.
This electro is so much better than the previous movie he was in. Not only the looks but his character
Peter just feeding Goblin punches and all he does is smile and laughs, then powerbombs spiderman through the floor. My goodness what a scene. Best spiderman movie ever made
This movie accomplished a huge mile stone that was never done in live action till now. They got Norman Osborn and Otto Octavious in the same room 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾.
I love how spider sense is demons y all three Spider-Men in the movies. Tobey’s appears to be instant detection. Andrew’s appeared to be more of a reactive reflex, and Tom’s appeared to seemed to be directionary of the danger.
Well said
"is demons y all "? Is this typo?
I agree. While both spider-men spider sense are generally the same, they both somewhat have unique function based on how they are used by their users.
Andrew's seems like it detects dangerous situations (it notifies him that bystanders are about to be electrified by metal railings, and it goes off as Gwen is falling), and Tom's seems to warn him about the alien spaceship in New York and the Goblin. Honestly Tom's seems the weakest in terms of instant detection, what with the Lizard attacking him with no warning from his sense whatsoever
@@cube7439 Well he's just been beaten half to death by the goblin so I'd imagine his body is extremely tired so his spider sense isn't working as well as it should, he sensed the personality change in goblin so his sense must be pretty strong normally
Tom's Peter sounding so desperate to knock out Green Goblin while he laughs maniacally with every punch is so unsettling I love it.
William Defoe showed up and became the best MCU film in minutes. Absolute legend.
"Too weak to take it", that line always sends chills down my spine
I love how they shot the Goblin reveal scene like a horror movie.
Him punching him in the face and each punch made him smile more and more was so awesome. Imo best part of the movie was this fight
I love the part of this scene where Peter is trying to sense who the threat is. Like green goblin is such an overwhelming threat that it creates an aura where he’s making everything seem like a threat.
That's a really good point. The Goblin was such a huge threat that it kind of bled into the entire room and Peter couldn't even hone in on him until he closed his eyes and focused. I think this perfectly captures the idea that his senses are "dialed to 11".
It’s a throw back to the first Rami Spider-Man as well when Toby was in the crowd at the World Unity Day and he could sense danger coming but couldn’t understand where it was coming from. The Goblin has an aura of horror and destruction that’s really unmatched.
Few people also notice how Peter spasms at 5:39 because his Spider-Sense is so overloaded by Goblin's presence
Willem Dafoe killed it then, back in 2002, and nearly 20 years later did it again without skipping a beat!
Facts dude never disappoints
Willam powerbombed and gave Tom a spine buster what an absolute legend
Batista bomb
Not Tom’s last spine buster 😳
@@THEK1NGSCLAN nooooo😭🤐 we gotta protect Tom I’m worried about bro
And he really did that shit too 😭😭 dude is mad
0:13 thats goblin
It wasn't until this fight that I realized how strong Green Goblin actually is. Dafoe's acting is phenomenal. This entire scene was amazing.
What gave me chills was when Dr Connors says, “And so it begins”. Just shows how he sort of sensed it before Spider-Man did.
Dafoe legit gave me chills in this scene. Such an incredible actor.
1:28 gotta love how The Lizard was able sense the presence of The Green Goblin as well as Spider Man could. Must be one of the perks of animal transformation
Not what that scene was about
He was talking about the TV crew. Had nothing to do about the goblin.
He was talking about the TV crew and Jameson, who were about to catch Peter red-handed helping very dangerous people. Which would be the consequences of trying to change people Lizard mentioned before. The Goblin was something Lizard was not aware of, still a good surprise on his side.
With his animal acute smell like all lizards. I think he probably smelled the hormonal changes in normans body switching to the Goblin as with MPD its a complete change when the other guy” takes over
The spine buster through several floors was the highlight of this scene 😨
2:49 you can see and hear the fear from Peter when he says “the goblin…” which suggests while he doesn’t have a frame of reference he clearly gets that whatever the hell this guy is, he’s a very serious and terrifying threat…which he is. After watching all 3 Tobey mguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom holland spider movies I feel I can safely say William Defoe’s green goblin is by far the most terrifying and evil threat to grace the big screen. Strong as hell, lethally cunning, and of course scary and evil as fuck. Even in the animated show way back when the only villain that kinda scared me to the same degree was Carnage.
Ever heard of Red Goblin?
Look him up.
@@arulrajasundar9420 that’s goblin + carnage right?
@@yugison64 yup
As much as thanos?
What makes this scene so good is the perfect depiction of peters spider sense sensing something unlike anything he has felt before. The look on his face is sheer terror because he just felt something evil flr the first time. The way he calls to may first because he knows something terrible is coming. His face depicts both fear, and anxiety. The precence of the goblin is so powerful in this, peter becomes totally ovwrwhelmed. That topped with having never faced the goblin before, and peter being so young.
What an amazing scene. Topped off with willems amazing acting chops.
“Gods don’t have to choose. We take.” That was my favorite part of the scene followed with the tone by Golblin
love that spinebuster on 6:33 textbook execution right there.
Bah god he was broken in half!
I think what makes this scene even MORE intense and emotional is that when his Spidey Sense goes off, its screaming to him that there is a threat and that his Aunt May is in danger, herself. He instantly calls for her to make sure she is ok, not knowing the real tragedy would soon take place. RIP May.
0:18 Willem Dafoe gives the audience an early sign that the Goblin has taken over and is pretending to be Norman with the subtle voice change.
When I first saw this I was absolutely stunned bc not only did it CAPTURE his spidey sense going NUTS when goblin came forward when no one knew. But how He looks around the room as if he sensed the DANGER in all of THEM. in that moment. Absolutely stunning!!
6:32 hands down the best fight moment in MCU history.
The grunt of a power lifter while performing a spine buster is incredible, the audience can feel the weight of the movement. 👏🏼
Saw the movie three times when it came out and every time the people in my theater went “DAMN”
Dude!! This is literally my favorite move in modern MCU!! GG tackled Spiderman into another dimension...
Seriously. Outside of the Netflix shows, this is one of the most weighty, best shot comic fight scenes in the MCU
Its def top 3. To me though, cap and the ws goin toe to toe in the middle of the street has yet to be topped. That and thanos getting jumped on titan.
Willem Dafoe knocked it out the park in this film, like he normally does tbh, what a fight, what acting, what a menace, scary, creepy, threatening and super strong as hell!!
*"Strong enough to have it all...Too weak to take it!"*
William Defoe showed some serious acting skills here. The Jekyll & Hyde transformation is brilliant. From a sane, scientist to a total 100% headbanger psychopath in the blink of an eye. He has a seriously mobile face and a deliciously evil tone of voice. He enjoys being what he is, unlike the others.
he's even more terrifying without the mask, Willem Dafoe really is the one and only Green Goblin, what an amazing performance
This movie made me cry. This was exactly what every fan needed and wanted. Nothing will ever top this.

@@TheEnigmaticBM39idk but I loved it
Norman was always the biggest menace across all Spider-verses
Goblin is strong af-able to break thru cement. Can’t really blame him that he didn’t want to lose his god-like strength.
It's more than that, he had more to lose than any of the others he wouldn't exist any more.
The best green goblin we could ask for nobody can replace him.
I love how they show Goblins strength. He may laugh a lot but he is no joke.
He's stronger than Captain America by far. That should tell you a bit about his strength. He's probably one of the rare few that can take Peter if Peter stopped pulling his punches.
His purple hoodie gradually tearing away gradually to end up looking like a relatively faithful comic book Green Goblin outfit is absolutely spectacular.
