Thats cool but even you have to admit his glider is the best out of all the gliders

 

[webhead731]

I don't HAVE to admit anything.

I said earlier I like what I've seen so far. I still think the Raimi one is the best at this time because of the military-like design and yet it used the bat-shape and even purple. Plus the convenience of the pumpkin bombs popping up from the front. The engine noise is going to be almost impossible to beat though. Such a unique and badass sound.

 

[FN Spider-man]

That's nice and all but this is just better imo not only that but Spectacular Spider-Man inspired just looks amazing

This what a glider should look like imo

 

[webhead731]

I can barely tell what I am looking at though. We have not seen enough of it for a proper comparison to anything.

LOL. "That's nice and all.."

I mean I love Spider-Man 1 but every thing that we've seen that we can of the Green Goblin tech looks so much better. They've had the chance to improve everything. You're right though, we haven't gotten good looks at ANYTHING goblin.

Harry as the Goblin in this is far superior to Norman and Harry in the Raimi trilogy aesthetically imo. He looks like a Goblin and has some badass tech. So I'm happy.

 

[JOE]

That's because Harry in SM3 got DQ'd in Sochi.

 

[Nicko-Ray]

Maybe Sideshow hasn't revealed their figures yet because Sony told them to hold off due to the Rhino and Green Goblin design.

congrats on the opinion but that is crap.

Literally, that looks like it was taken from a potato-quality video of a PS2 walkthrough lol.

On what moon-man planet does that look like any Green Goblin or goblin ever?

>.> I had to take a screen shot thats why
If you don't like thats fine I love it

 

[webhead9707]

Yeah. I really like the direction of the movie and all but I'm not crazy about the Goblin design. Except this shot. This shot looks good:

Moon-man planet? That's a new one.


Have you even seen the posters with his face on the screens or the shot of him swooping down in the clocktower? If that doesn't look like a goblin to you, I don't know how to convince you that it does. But, to me, it looks leagues better than the static helmet and armor from the first Raimi film and better still than the guy on a snowboard in Spider-man 3. And it's no more a deviation from the source material than those two were. So should I turn your 'moon-man planet' remark and its insulting implications around on you?

agreed the raimi glider was great

No, because if you did you wouldn't make a lick of sense.

I can see how New Goblin from Spider-Man 3 doesn't remind you of any Goblin, hell I even said that. But how does this

Not resemble this

Yet this

Reminds you more of the "Goblin?" I am totally serious. Enlighten me.

The Raimi Goblin helmet
1. Was green
2. Had Goblin ears
3. Had a pointed nose
4. Had a pointed head similar to the hat he always wore
5. Had a big cackling grin (often seen in the comics)
6. Had pointed teeth
7. Had the big yellow eyes that Goblin has typically always been shown with
8. Had a pointed jaw

You can hate the Raimi design, or love the new ASM2 design more as much as you want. That is your opinion. However, there is no way you can sit there and tell everyone it looks more like a "Goblin" than any of the past ones when it clearly does not. I have never seen Green Goblin with tan skin, spiked hair, a blue tooth, and junk yard armor.

I actually agree.

Well we haven't even gotten a good look at TASM2's Green Goblin. Wait until the movie's out or when we get a photo that isn't supposed to be "teasing". That shot in the theater banner doesn't count either because that's zoomed in and doesn't necessarily showcase him. We haven't gotten a proper close up.

Doesn't matter. We have gotten a clear enough look through posters (even the close-ups on the TV screens in Times Square), the trailers, and the Mini-Mates to know he is a tan kid with spiked hair and a blue tooth.

It's enough to know the basics of it.

The basics, sure. The jist of it. I'm holding out until I see a much closer, much clearer pic.

Lol at all the assumptions you've made here as well as your condescension. Are you always this unpleasant to chat with? I can honestly say it's a first for me on this site. Silly insulting implications and condescension. Polite, civil discourse is far more preferable when discussing these things, I assure you.


Read through what I read again. When did I ever say that it looked closer to the Green Goblin from the comics. Nowhere did I say that or even imply it. What I said was that I prefer it aesthetically to the Raimi versions because it looks like *A* goblin. As in the fantasy critters GG is based on.


I don't care about exact translations of the character's appearance like so many fanboys do. I care about whether or not I like it, it works for the movie, and is respectful enough to the original. Thus, I don't hate Raimi's Green Goblin (though I DO hate New Goblin). I like it. I just prefer this one for being similar to an actual Goblin in many of the shots we've seen and for not limiting the actor in the suit with a static mask/helmet.


What I see is a creepy goblin-y dude with an incomplete, partially green tech suit, green splotches on his skin, pointed prosthetic ears, claws, a glider, and a terrifying grin. That works for me. I love it. Not as much as I love GG in the comics, but love it I do.


The only reason I bring up Raimi's GG is because it also made quite a few changes. It deviates from the source material too. And some of those bug me a bit, but I still like it. It meets my criteria in a similar way to the TASM2 one.

This look of the goblin in this film has grown on me a lot. I definitely like this glider the best out of all of them so far. The rami green goblin and glider look rather simple by comparison. Not to say I didn't like rami's GG, but I perfer webb's vision. I think I made my mind up on that when I saw that one shot of the goblin outside the oscorp window. So badass.

That shot and the shot of him standing between Peter and Gwen as well as the one of him swooping down are what made me love it.

I'm not debating using a screen shot from something, but how do you get this:

while someone else can get this:

but I still stand, that goblin design (much like Lizard, Rhino, and Mr. Freeze-er...I mean, Electro)and glider is awful.

Well, I wish you could like this stuff, man. But more power to you if that's legitimately how you feel.

 

[A Necessary Evil]

I wish I could too, and that's no sarcasm lol. I haven't been excited for a SM movie since Spider-Man 3...which while I like it, it is a disappointing film. ASM couldn't live up to the hype it set for itself (like Spider-Man 3), although I do own the bluray. I can say, however, that Spider-Man himself looks perfect.
