The Amazing Spider-Man 2 General Discussion - Part 3

[NinjaTurtleFan]

I want a mask and suit that actually looks like Green Goblin. The problem with him transforming into a goblin is how would the serum do that? It'd be more inevitable or likely he'd turn into something like Abomination or The Hulk than Green Goblin if the Oz serum is similar to the Super-Soldier serum.

Norman putting on face-paint or wearing a mask and hooded cloak, or just a stunt man in a suit with a CGI mask I'd be fine with, cut costs, and be more realistic. (And yes we're far past realism when we've had a scientist turning himself into a giant lizard and another into living electricity.)

Is Flash in this movie?

Is that Russian? Could be referring to Rhino, since he was part of the mafia and everything.

If we're talking about old schol Gobby, how about Nano-tecnology on the Gob's face? Or use what the face-tech that Chameleon uses?

I am very serious here when I say that if they make Green Goblin transform instead of wearing a suit and mask...I'm done with this series no matter how much I love the rest. Having Green Goblin be a transformation is one of the ideas I absolutely hate the most.

On another note, Green Goblin is sort of based on Halloween, he wears a costume and a mask, he plays tricks, he has pumpkin bombs and "batarangs"(razorbatz?), and he rides a glider which can be linked to flying a broomstick.

In a way, he mocks Spidey for using the costume to do good in disguise. Goblins costume is an integral part to his character, taking that away from him is changing more than his appearance.

That's a very good question. Haven't heard any word.

Btw, I love Suits too! :]

yes, at least it says so in the news on the SHH frontpage

[TH29]

If they use ultimate goblin, I too will be tremendously disappointed. I NEVER liked that incarnation as with most the Ultimate characters.

Of course not! That's a DC character.

[darthcoolness3]

I think, he was talking about Flash Thompson not the dc superhero, Flash.

[TheForgotten]

Hopefully they continue Flash Thompson's character because Chris Zylka did a fantastic job with his small role. Hopefully his character is larger in ASM2 and further developed. That's one of things I'm really looking forward to!

[Spideyfan93]

With all the characters in this movie, I'm dubious about Flash having anything.

Same here. Hopefully he doesn't turn into your username! Ha bad joke.
I really loved the ending with Peter and Flash's energy.
Also liked the way Flash was trying to mend Peter in the middle of the movie.

I wouldn't really care for Norman transforming into Goblin. Seems like to much of a retread over Connors transforming into the Lizard.

[Mr. Wooden Alligator]

Why would Norman wear a goblin mask though? Hard mode: "Because it was in the comics" doesn't count.

Because it was in the comics

To hide his identity to the public? I imagine a scene were he takes off Spidey's mask and sees Peter Parker and then laughs manically to take off his mask and revealing himself as Osborn to Peter before attempting to kill him...or something.

[Spideyfan93]

There are ways to provoke and ignite the "goblin" appearance without it being a mask. It does seem absurd in this Spidey universe so...I'd go with transformation too.

The hood and cape aesthetic wouldn't be ridiculous if Norman is using it to hide his disgusting nature either. Makes sense to me.

[Mr. Wooden Alligator]

It doesn't fly for me :P

Is there any link between Norman's heritage and the old myths and folklore surrounding goblins?

@Spideyfan: That's a neat idea for the hood and cape.

please no ultimate goblin. classic goblin allows for fights and action set pieces to take place high above the ground, thus mixing things up a bit for the third film which i assume is where GG comes in.

Because he's a psychopath. Is that sufficient??

[Anno_Domini]

Norman loves goblins, especially when they're green?

If they end up doing the Ultimate version, I'll be pretty pis$ed. No more mutated monster villains please.
