The Amazing Spider-Man 2 How should the Goblin look???

[Rowsdower!]

Indeed. Chris Nolan invented it.

LOL!

Seriously, Iron Man wasn't the first character to wear high-tech armor in a movie. From what I can see of his suit, it reminds me more of M.A.N.T.I.S. (anyone remember him?) than anything else. Only this looks a lot less cheesy (thank God).

If you start tailoring your movies to fans, simply for the sake of fan service, then your film is doomed. It's easy to make a flick for the GA, because it's mostly just about making an entertaining film. Fans are a different, extremely fickle beast.

I'd rather Webb just do what he wants and make HIS film. Has anyone ever considered that maybe he just didn't want any purple? Or that maybe we're not looking at the GG here. I'm sure some of you have, I just don't feel like reading through all of these posts haha.

We're talking about a costume here, not changing the movie's script or direction. Did you know they changed the Spider-Man suit in this one because of the fans? Yes, many of us have thought of how this may not be the GG. The suit doesn't even have any green yet, so it would be silly to even name this goblin the "Green" Goblin

EDIT: I'm pretty sure the Avengers was tailored for fans, I don't see it being doomed. Although personally... I disliked the movie
EDIT2: My apologies, turns out the suit does have green on it

 

[chrisguyver]

Suit could have been worse. Glade on what we got.

I think that Goblin won't be a huge threat in this movie and with this "Goblin" being defeated it will cause Norman to take the serum and give us the Goblin we all know and love. The suit looks have ass, etc.

Maybe they setup Harry to take the serum to "test" before giving it to his dying father and turns him into this "Gobby" After Harrys defeat his father takes the serum at the end of the movie and turns into the Goblin we all love setting him up for ASM3

 

[Whiskey Tango]

I can....he's crazy. Doesn't need much more explanation than that. You can see crazy people in the real world wear far more sillier things....just visit New York or Philadelphia.

 

[JOE]

Harry gets his ass beat as some point. Maybe the shot of him all bruised up is after his clock tower battle with Spidey, talking to his father about how he failed and can't defeat Spidey. He might tell him how Electro failed along with Rhino... Maybe Norman DOES assemble the S6, or maybe he calls Otto and he says something about assembling the team to take out the hero not one villain could do alone.

I'm aware that they changed the costume for fans, which bugs me. If the change doesn't serve some thematic purpose, I'm going to hate it, regardless of how faithful it is.

Pretty sure the suit does have green in it.

And The Avengers was what Whedon wanted it to be. And it's faithfulness actually pushed the film forward. They didn't just put Steve in the classic red and blue for no reason. Unless Webb wants purple in the costume, there's really no reason to have it other than making fans happy (the same fans who will inevitably find something else to hate).

Just to clarify, I'm not saying there always has to be some in-film reason for a costume. Director's vision can be reason enough. But if it isn't what the director wants, and it doesn't hold the film back in anyway, then I don't see any reason to do it.

 

[The Infernal]

Spiky hair and Bluetooth headset/Goblin ears do look pretty goofy imo, but the armour still looks alright though.

Turns out, the costume is in development (literally, in the movie). I just don't see why he wouldn't want to put purple in it, as he's apparently a fan of the comics as well. Aside from the fact that it doesn't work with hollywood. Which, as we all saw from movies like TDK, and Avengers, isn't true. But I see your point, and you are right. Hopefully the Norman version of GG will put some of our worries away

 

[Sym]

I hope they're still going to make him green on post-production, because without it he's not very different from an average Oscorp Super-Soldier

The design could've been waaay less bland than it is rn, but I'm fine with it, at least he looks scary (And is not the Ultimate Goblin)

 

[Alex_Spider]

I hope this gets the same amount of backlash as the "Power Rangers" suit did, if not only because this is a billion times worse.

I'm sorry but the Harry Goblin looks like ****. He looks like New Goblin from Spider-Man 3 without a mask and with a new glider, bluetooth headset, and spiked up hair.

Agreed. This is sad really. So much disapointment for the past 10 years regarding the GG costume and his portrayal in the Raimi series, only to get an equally bad design for the new installment, that pays no respect in his original appereance. I guess every comic costume in hollywood these days must look like a clone of iron man and transformers.

 

[747]

I think the headset-as-goblin-ears and hair-styling-looking-like-the-goblin-cap is kinda clever, reminds me of what Nolan did with Catwoman in TDKR. Though I'm not sure of the execution, or that the approach fits this universe as well.

I think, and hope, this is more of a Proto Goblin than THE Green Goblin.

 

[chamber-music]

I'm not sure how they can get the Spider-Man suit so right twice yet come up with 3 bad Green Goblin designs.

It really shouldn't be that hard to come up with a 616 Goblin costume that doesn't look like a Power Ranger, Snowboarder and Bluetooth wearing Billy Idol.

 

[pr0xyt0xin]

hair hat is stupid. just puttin' that out there.

he looks like a who from whoville.

lol. No, it shouldn't!

 

[Victarion]

New Goblin's armor was fine. The mask was a bust. I'd settle for a drugged out look with goblinesque features.

 

[pr0xyt0xin]

Y'know... they should call him Proto-Goblin. makes sense with the hair:

 

[Vid Electricz]

I love how calm and collected Norman is there. lol.

 

[pr0xyt0xin]

haha. yeah.

 

[GoldGoblin]

Look at both arms,the one on the left doesn't have the finished armor on it,like this suit is not finished,a proto type?


Harry's nails on his left hand are long like claws.

 

[Nathan]

I really don't want to see Norman wear the finished armor. Maybe a body suit, like Electro wears, but with certain parts of the body armored, that I would totally like. But I hate the thought of Goblin being armored from head to toe. Or when he has to wear it, make it at least as slim looking as possible.

 

[The Shape]

Man, I just hate the hair. Like what they did with his face but the hair looks very silly.

 

[UltimateWebhead]

Man, I just hate the hair. Like what they did with his face but the hair looks very silly.

I agree. I'm good with most of his look but in a couple of shots especially, the hair looks bad.

 

[Duran Man]

I like the hair and the suit, but would love it overall if he had green skin.

 

[Nathan]

Something else they could have done, is to maybe base his gear on Predator tech. Like individual pieces of armor, that he can put on separately.

With obvious Green Goblin touches of course.

Or they could have just copied this.
