D: didn't work!

I pressed the button but nothing happened besides the fact that it turned red
 
Why is spider-man's suit red and blue? There really doesn't need to be a reason why he dresses like a goblin. Maybe to scare people or something but its not like it is a major problem with using a mask rather than physical transformation.

exactly. why does batman dress up like a bat? to inspire fear into his enemies. the same can be said (and amplified x10) for Goblin. In fact if I remember the reason why he dresses like a goblin is because of the nightmares he had as a kid.

Or do like the previous movies did and have him have a fetish for masks (though i swear that mentioned in the comics too...can't remember though, so someone who knows could prob clear that up) lol
 
Speaking of Goblin's and fear, watched the Hobgoblin episodes from the 90s cartoon, that was mentioned there
In Nolan's Batman gruff voice: F.E.A.R.
 
If its a transformation hopefully he will transform into the classic goblin and not the ultimate goblin.
 
Y'know, what might be an interesting amalgamation is if Norman wore a mask that just looked like Ultimate Goblin.

That's what I'd want. Transforming into a regular sized Goblin. Just getting ripped and lean, not growing into a 7-9ft creature, that's basically Hulk-light and throws fireballs.
 
I'm wouldn't want to see either. At least when it comes to the face. Much prefer Alex Ross's design.

Something that looks like that in the face but with a more modern suit and weapons would be fantastic for GG.
Point taken. Of course I'd prefer 616, though.

Yeah, same here. What was going through their heads when they created Ultimate Goblin? Jeez.
 
Well my vote still is the same, I'd prefer them to be go the 616 route and keep it as a costume.

I doubt they will want to go through the man/monster route again for a sequel anyway. At least I hope not lol

I still like this one.
 
I think Norman should call himself Blue Goblin instead and wear a red suit

Looks like Rumplestilskin from OUAT which is why I like it. In fact they should look at his make up process for inspiration in general IMO.
 
Long as he doesn't look like a power ranger I'm fine with it.
But seriously, 616 version all the way.
 
In a sense, we should see both. In reality, all the serum did was give Norman heightened strength, it didn't drive him mad. He was screwed up before, a neglectful parent, a cut-throat businessman and selfish to the point of insanity.
Becoming the Goblin isn't the act of someone who suddenly lost his mind, it's the act of a man who has - through his whole life - began to feel that social norms and values do not apply to him.

In the comics, Harry's drug addiction is a big trigger. So the mask, being an old Halloween toy, makes sense. He uses the mask because it's a symbol of his sons lost innocence and youth. In his sickened mind, what he's doing is defensible because he is merely standing up for his family.

That should be a big theme, the idea of 'family'. And how Norman's definition of it basically boils down to his own whims, all the while being adamant that he's a devoted family man who's doing it for his sons own good. He's truly deluded.

And we should see more of his delusions, before the serum, he should be suffering from hallucinations. The HulkGoblin thing could be a recurrent image he sees in his daily life. of course, we know that Spider-Man becomes a similar manifestation of his madness too.

But what if he was detached from the suit and literally believed that he was the Goblin creature? His speech would fluctuate between playful taunting and sibilant snarls and roaring.

By making the physical transformation another indication of his mental illness, we can have the best of both worlds.
It's especially captivating as Norman is a character who won't acknowledge the possibility that he's ill. I'd love to see his Social Darwinist streak early on.
