The Amazing Spider-Man This time should the Green Goblin physically transform or suit up in costume?

[NinjaTurtleFan]

A mix of Alex Ross's design and Thunderbolts Goblin.

No to the Ultimate-version. Seriously, I would rather trade the Power Rangers get-up over the demonic orc-looking, fireball-hurling hellspawn any day.

There's a statue or a bust of Thunderbolt's Goblin somewhere I think. I have no idea if that's even what it is, but when I saw it I liked it.

 

[NinjaCarm]

how about this?

And what about this...

 

[<(o_o)>]

Maybe Norman Osborn steals the Green Goblin costume from Quentin Beck "Mysterio", that way it could look both high tech & creepy. Maybe "Mysterio" could create a second green Goblin using his holographic cubes known as Ultimate Green Goblin to lure the other Goblin out into the open, could be fun to have Old Green Goblin trying to fight a hologram Goblin & then Spider-Man trying to take them both on.

No transformations, I like the suggestions of the thunderbolts costume

i like the tattered hood but i'm not too big on the face though.... looks a litte world of warcraft to me

but the 2nd mask is good

combine the two and we have a winner

 

[Axl Z]

Just give him a bag mask like Scarecrow in BB

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Costume for sure! I especially want to see him talking to it, and looking to it for advice.

 

[Reikowolf]

hmmm.

I've noticed a lot of implication that Norman designs and fabricates the costume. He has made several of the same costume. (This is, of course, true to the comics)

What about an entirely re-imagined look?

Someone had posted about Nolan's Scarecrow and how the design was pretty original using elements of different incarnations.

Perhaps if Norman's Goblin costume was more makeshift, a stitched together mask and tattered cloak hiding a chain-mail armor and satchels (for weapons); although very humble looking and somewhat creepy, the surprise is that under the cloak, the Goblin has some high tech gear and weapons which make him seem almost supernatural when he attacks. Make the goblin a very psychologically imposing villain instead of campy or high tech.

Just a thought.

 

[Reikowolf]

/\ this is not to say he wouldn't also be super powered, making him just as much a physical threat to spider-man

No Nolanizing the franchise. I'm sorry but not EVERY superhero film needs to follow the Christopher Nolan checklist. I agree that Norman needs to be a psychologically imposing villain but I don't want him to make some makeshift mask and suit out of spare parts and things he found lying around or in his garbage. That sounds about as worse as Raimi's proposed Vulture idea in "SM3" where he made his wings out of things he found in jail.

I don't really know how to do the mask and the suit, but we got to at least see the mouth move this time. That was one beef critics had with Raimi's Goblin was that both hero and villain, behind their masks, remained expressionless and stiff. The emotion was there in their words but not on their faces.

If Webb decides to have GG wear green makeup and Spock ears and fake vampire teeth---then God help us.

 

[Reikowolf]

/\ I was not implying that it be 'Nolanized' I was just using the Scarecrow costume as an example of how a costume can be re-imagined.

I am strongly against making this 'the dark webb swinger'

Also, Norman is rich, I am not saying he would be digging through garbage, just that the costume would be make-shift, not a planned design. The justification of which being that Norman would want to hide the fact that he is using weapons that his company created.

In Raimi's Spider-Man we saw that the suit and glider were military contract weapons. The mask, on the other hand, is something Norman fabricated based on his collection of masks. IMO, the mask should not have been fabricated, it would have been just as well for Norman to use the mask on his wall that he based it on, and the tech suit should have been modified so that no one would make the direct link that it was Norman in the suit, especially anyone working for Oscorp or the Military that had seen the suit/glider prototypes. Raimi alludes to this as Norman's former partner's recognize the tech before he kills them.

I agree with you that we should be able to see his mouth, also, it would not hurt to train the actor in mask-acting, both for the Goblin and Spider-Man

V for Vendetta had Hugo Weaving emote so much with so little, all based on his head tilts and mannerisms.

 

[Reikowolf]

/\ bleh.

I really wish I could find some sort of an example to illustrate my point. I may not have conveyed it well.

 

[Reikowolf]

Alternatively.

This is a not bad mask design IMO

Ok, your point is made and that mask is perfect. ::

 

[Mistah K88]

Norman should wear a costume. He has to be unmasked sooner or later. As for his odd choice in a mythical creature as his alter ego, do we really need to know anything besides the fact that he's [BLEEP]in' crazy? He shouldn't look TOO stupid...but he should still look stupid because that's kind of the point of his costume.

As for his company being the Goblin manufacturer, I did like the idea of the Green Goblin staging thefts from Oscorp and modifying them to fit his halloween motif. That way if it is questioned that a lot of the stuff he uses is from Oscorp, the alibi could be that the weapons were stolen.

 

[Rishi]

How about a stone-ish mask like the one in the Mask?

make the expression more melancholy yet menacing, and cover it with a tattered cloak/hook so we rarely see the actual mask

This is exactly the kind of mask Willem DaFoe should have worn, but much more detailed--with yellow (The Exorcist) eyes. Then we would have seen his facial expressions. Oh, freakin' well.

NO! NO! NO!

All we need now if for Peter Parker to put this on, and start dancing around like Jim Carrey in THE MASK.

 

[Oscorp]

No he should have a costume & look like this....

Totally agree! That's the best Green Goblin picture and design if you ask me! That's the best Spidey villain picture too, imo.

 

[Dangerous]

Costume of course.
USM Goblin is an -even worse- bastardization of the character than Raimi Goblin was!

The 616 costume is freakin awesome!
Use that, we need to see it on screen it would look amazing!
Like a totally f##ked up serial killer Halloween costume.

Use the Humberto Ramos version as a basis if you want to update it a bit.

How about NO.

How does that look like a Goblin?
It doesn't, it looks like Tree-man.

 

[Dangerous]

And what about this...

I would have preferred Orko, but the film was still awesome so I don't mind him.

 

[DarthDaveBanner]

Funnily enough until I was about 10 years old I didn't realise that Osborn wore a costume! The 80's animated series had Normal physically transforming into the Goblin so imagine my shock years later when I see an image of the Goblin peeling his "face" off...

Anyway, if we are to see GG again there's no excuse to not have a great costume. The suits he's worn for the past few years have all been awesome.

I could see this flying personally. It's not too silly looking as far as costumes go.

As much as people complain about SM1's GG costume, do we really want to see a middle aged man in tight green and purple spandex with a purse?

I liked Ross's GG design for the first film. He had a badass sword or something didn't he? I knew you got to play as Ross's Goblin in the first Spider-man movie game.

I'm curious about the mask though.
