The Amazing Spider-Man Best interpretation of Green Goblin in Media?

I really liked Norman Osborn and Green Goblin in TSSM

 

The answer is spectacular Spidey. It always is.

 

Definitely Spectacular Spider-Man. He's so delightfully evil in that version.

 

I actually like that Norman Osborn, if not a good person, doesn't start as pure evil. He is an arrogant bastard and a bad father, but he does care for his son and should have some humanity who slowly descends into true evil. That's how it was done in the original comics, The Animated Series and SM1. Most prefer the 1990s version where he is a pure evil Machevellian baddie, a mix of Lex Luthor and the Joker. That's what USM did, TSSM did and what apparently Webb and Sony are doing with the ASM series to differentiate from Raimi's take.

I think the best version of the former is actually The Animated Series from the 1990s (though Willem Dafoe does the GG voice better than any voice actor, ironically enough) and the best version of the latter is probably how he was written in the late '90s or early 2000s of the comics, but excluding those then TSSM.

Both versions have validity in comics, so it will be nice to get the other version in this series.

 

I like both versions alot but I'm in the majority of liking the latter a little bit more I guess. I really enjoyed him in TSSM and in, as you said, the late '90s and early '20s run in the comics.

I hope we'll get Harry in this film series though I doubt it.

 

I love the sly, lovely to your face, evil when your turned Norman. But, Norman doesn't exhibit those overly evil tendencies until he puts on the mask. SM1 got that right towards the end after the Goblin took him fully over. Him at Thanksgiving was pure Norman.

 

The first movie game, and of course the TSSM feature was his best adaption, a bad person adapted the way he is
To be honest, I like how he's made in USM animated series, he's a greedy S.o.B and that stuff, evil, and until he becomes Green Goblin I think he's great as he is

 

I haven't seen The Spectacular Spider-Man, so my vote here goes to the Norman/Goblin as he was portrayed in the 1994 Spider-Man animated series, which was my first real exposure to Spider-Man and his world and which remains, to this day, a fond childhood memory of mine (even though, being 14, I was no longer technically a child when it was on the air).

 

Spectacular Spider-Man, of course.

 

That was my favorite part in the entire Raimi trilogy

 

Just what chaseter said, "lovely to your face, evil when your turned Norman", 'nuff said
probably the closest interpretation of that Norman is in The Spectacular Spider-man

 

The Spectacular Spider-Man version. SSM just feels like a great blend of everything good from Spider-Man.

 

Yeah, if I could have a live-action movie series that's basically an adaptation of SSM, I'd be in heaven.

 

lol

 

TSSM, Loved the character and voice, just hated the look.

 

This is the worst

 

They NEED (absolutely NEED) to do this!

 

I kinda agree, battle will be more epic that way

 

If I can put it in simple terms, the SSM Green Goblin is basically Ultimate Green Goblin... only he looks like 616 Norman and wears a costume instead of transforming. Oh and he definitely jokes around more.

 

He's the 616 Goblin before being the Ultimate
Mackie cleared it

 

That was IN-CRED-IBLE!!!

 

Best Green Goblin = TSSM

Best Norman Osborn = Wlliam DaFoe. He was just so overly top evil with the performance, it almost was a hinder to put a mask over his face.
