In an alternate reality this was used, and although those kids were traumatised, they looked back as 30 year olds and are *now* like, 'you know what this movie is awesome' & love it!
This is the correct Goblin, the way Lee and Ditko created him. This is what should have been used in the movie. That mechanical, expressionless helmet-wearing cyborg used in the movie was a huge disappointment (the fkg mouth doesn't even move when he speaks, instead he shakes his head up and down whenever he speak like a cheap hand puppet). They really messed up the Goblin in the movie. He should have been depicted true to the comic book like Sandman and Dr. Octopus.
You may want to keep in mind Raimis iteration uses the mask as a personification of the goblin persona. If they went through with this design, this would be a permanent transformation. In other words, no more willem dafoes’ scenes as Norman Osborn. More importantly, the dynamic between norman and his goblin persona wouldn’t be made possible
@@markibash2689 No, it wouldn't have to be a permanent transformation. Osborn could have donned the mask and costume when he changed to the Goblin. The mask reacts to emotion and facial expression. Plus I wouldn't have minded at all if Osborn physically transformed back and forth into the Goblin a la Mr.Hyde. Actually, I always felt that a physical transformation would be a better way to portray the Goblin in comics, rather than with a costume. The original Green Goblin, as he appeared in Spiderman Comics was one of the most sinister, creative, and unique characters ever created. Why the f--k did this long awaited movie version throw that all that away and give us an expressionless metallic cyborg instead? A robotic helmet that does not even move its mouth, just shakes his head up and down whenever he speaks. What a cheap, cheap way to portray a great villain!
@@step3892 bro what. If anything, the comic accurate goblin mask has always been a challenge to pull off. There’s a reason why it took so fucking long for Spider-Man to actually have expressive eyes on the big screen. More importantly, that was just his eyes let alone a full on expressive goblin mask that interacts the same way it does in the comics. That’s neither the directors fault, nor the studios fault. Most importantly, it’s an art form to act behind a mask. It’s literally the premise behind darth vader. If anything Willem had a great performance. There’s a reason why he’s THE fan favorite Spider-Man villain. The shots of Norman’s eyes and mouth peeking through the masks’ holes are eery.
@@step3892 agree with what? Everyone including myself thinks this design is phenomenal, however your point about the product we were given being a “huge disappointment” is an entirely different topic.
The part where aunt may was in the hospital freaking out and saying “Those eyes! Those horrible yellow eyes!” Now makes a lot more sense after seeing this design of the goblin’s mask
The truth is that I have to admit that the creation of this incredible green goblin mask is quite a masterpiece, being more faithful and close to the comics, but the real reason why it was never seen in the light of day was because it was shown to the public. test audience including various children to see what they think and the result as you can imagine is that many of them were terrified and even traumatized for life by this design so the team at Sony had to reduce that to avoid this and the minors if they could see the movie, decide to change the design for the one we all know today, which I really loved a lot and I saw that a new modern green goblin fits very well for the time that marked an entire generation and I hope that be like this in many decades (psd: I understand children a lot but imagine if they had seen this in the movies and had been scared like never before in their lives, also that design did not even feel like it fits well within this version from spiderman which Sam Raimi decided to discard immediately since from my point of view and sincerely I want to tell you that it looks like a mask for horror movie purposes than a superhero movie) see you in a new spiderverse we won't be late and sayonara
Give me a break ... It's a great concept and it's much better than the helmet, but it's not THAT scary. It should've been used ... It's creepy as hell, but the movie was PG-13 ... Kids could've handled it.
@@Fiveash-ArtYeah, it's about as scary as Doc Ock's arms brutally murdering an entire room of people in Spider-Man 2. I watched that scene just fine when I was little, though at first my parents didn't want me to, lol.
@@chocov1233 I was never scared of stuff like that as a kid .. I could even handle most horror movies. What freaked me out were DISNEY movies .. talk about night terrors. Madame Medusa and all those concepts about being orphaned , kidnapped, protagonists having their parents killed etc ... ironic that was the stuff that freaked me out.. supposed entertainment for children. I could care less about Freddy Kruger or Michael Myers ... Adults are dumb. Not to mention all of the subliminal programming in those Disney films. Very real stuff ... trauma based mind control.
This is real Green Goblin. Sam Raimi’s Spider-man Green Goblin was disappointed. It’s just suit and mask 👎 Spider-man no way home Green Goblin still same one 👎👎👎👎👎👎
I hope to see the day this mask gets reinvented and put into a spider man film. Maybe not green goblin because the MCU seem committed to solidifying willem dafoes legacy with the role, but hopefully we can get this mask in the form of hobgoblin.
To be honest, I like the unique design in green goblin in the original movie, but that mask is terrifying to me and I love it! it gives me absolute nightmares, I wish Sam raimi would go all out with his design, he would have a thrill doing it.
And here I thought the original mask was scary. I don't think Spider-man 2002 would become one of my favorite childhood films had they gone with this mask, I wouldn't be able to finish the film.
I feel bad for the people that worked on that mask, I mean just imagine working on a mask that resembles an actor and can do facial expressions, just to get rejected and replaced with a power ranger green goblin helmet
I’d like to imagine they went to see the film in theaters with a bitter attitude, and rightfully so. The MCU, should no doubt, try to recreate this. Especially with the CGI overuse criticism and with the fact that this is probably the best design for any comic book villain in film.
This is a great mask, but it wouldn't have worked in the Raimi film. It would have been better suited for something less colorful and kid-friendly. Perhaps the film Cameron was wanting to make.
