It does kind of grow on you, doesnt it?

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Doesn't that pumpkin Bomb go for $150?

 

[Hobgoblin]

I have no idea.

 

[Hobgoblin]

Idiotic, but entertaining. t:

 

[Drakon]

Yeah, I laughed when I read that.

 

[Hobgoblin]

I dont watch CSI, so I had to go to youtube to find some clips of David Caruso delivering the traditional one liner at the beginning of every show. Bad as "It'll be a snap" is, its still better than the stuff he has to say.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Lol, cool use of CSI.

For some reason, I like Norman's mean as hell attitude these days. As I said before, he's very slick and manipulative. i remember when he was getting his butt kicked by Spidey, he actually answered his phone, lol. I think I remember that.

 

[Hobgoblin]

"These days?" He wasnt mean enough in the past?

Yeah, he's a cocky SOB isnt he?t:

Oh, he was, but now that he's in charge of things, he seems more...cocky.

 

[Hobgoblin]

So much ownage in one little clip...

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Indeed.

By the way, SymbioticToxin, if you're reading this, I was wondering if you have seen all of the episodes for The Spectacular Spider-Man season 2. If you haven't don't watch my video.

I sent you a private message.

 

[SymbioticToxin]

I saw, and replied, to it. Worry not, I saw them. I got tired of waitintg. (And I lost digital cable, sooo... yeah)

 

[SymbioticToxin]

Sorry to double post, but I thought I'd post this if anyones interested. I finsihed this up last night before going to bed.

This, my friends, is a prime example of why we love the Goblin.

 

[Hobgoblin]

These panels may be the definitive Green Goblin of the modern time (which I consider after his ID was revealed.) Perhaps since the creation of the character.

 

[Drakon]

I have to agree. Hence why I posted it here the second I saw it.

I have to agree. Hence why I posted it here the second I saw it.

And we appreciate it. Definitely.

Do you guys think there is a big difference in how the Goblin has been portrayed over the years? It seems like in the early days (Gobby's first appearance until the impalement) he was a totally psychotic yet tragic figure who wanted to rule the mafia. Norman was ruthless, but he cared for Harry and was really a split personality.

After he returned, he was purely a cold hearted SOB that seemed to have lost interest in controlling the mob. His sole pleasure was tormenting Peter and the Goblin personality seemed to have been incorporated into Norman's true personality.

After his ID was revealed, he seems to have lost interest in Spider-Man, especially after he lost the memory of Peter's secret. These days he is a dictator in the making.

On one hand, it seems like a huge deviation to go from mafia kingpin wannabe to Hitler wannabe. On the other, its just a matter of scale: Control the New York mafia or control the world. It seems like a matter of opportunity. As the Goblin he could only realistically control the mobs. As the Director of HAMMER, he could control the planet. The central theme of being the top dog is still front and center. Heck, he even showed some world domination tendencies way back in the Gathering of Five storyline. So I guess its not totally out of character.

Dont mind me, I'm just rambling.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Great moment/issue. The Goblin is god!

I still lvoe the way Deadato draws Norman/Green Goblin.

 

[SpideyTheBest]

Norman is one sick bastard. Gotta love it!

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Oh, trust me, what follows after that picture is brutal.

 

[SpideyTheBest]

Something very cool that I found on Youtube.

It's an adaption of Amazing Spider-Man #122 in stop motion.
