The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Who thinks The Green Goblin should have been in this film longer

[webhead731]

I'll admit though, the Goblin fight was probably one of the most heart racing, edge of my seat fights in any comic book movie.

The whole 30 seconds? I mean it's your opinion.

Firstly, isn't Norman Green Goblin and Harry Hobgoblin in the lore?
Anyways, I thought the fight lasted exactly as it should. Harry is completely inexperienced with the tech and in fighting so it made sense he would be clumsy and not stand up to a now seasoned Spider-Man. The serum although disfiguring Harry does it not also drive a psychosis? So I'm happy with that to explain Harry's continuing hunt of Spider-Man.

No. The only time Harry became Hobgoblin was in Ultimate Spider-Man, and it was still AFTER his dad became Green Goblin.
He didn't appear clumsy to me either. There was no learning curve. He was just instantly strong and a fighter and skilled on flying the glider etc.
The fight was like that because he was shoved into the last act with 5 minutes of screentime so he could [BLACKOUT]kill Gwen.[/BLACKOUT]

A lot of villains come in when the hero is in his prime, and they just got their powers/abilities and still kick his ass and last more than a minute in a fight. That is no excuse.

That doesn't count. at that point Harry was delusional and insane due to the goblin serum. evidenced by him placing MJ in harms way to demonstrate he could never harm her. In the next couple of Panels MAry Jane falls of the GW bridge and Harry yells MARY JANE!

Just because a madman tells you he won't kill you. it doesn't mean he won't kill you

I don't understand how that does not count. Who has Harry killed in those comics?

Harry's vendetta is for Peter only. He will say whatever he needs to say to draw him out but he never does anything.

haha I know it's pretty weird thing to say but the only other fight scene where i've had my heart racing was the first bane vs bat fight in TDKR. Not saying it's my favorite fight of all time but definitely the most.."nerve racking" if you will.
Hope that makes sense! t:

Well, hey, I won't judge. Just kinda surprised me lol.

But, I do agree on the Bane fight. That was brutal. Great use of sound effects. I really felt like Bats was getting his ass kicked. Bane was a monster.

It really was a great fight wasn't it. I remember seeing it in the theater and it was the crowd was just dead silent until Bane did that 360 fly punch thing and you could hear some people whisper to themselves, "Oh *****!''. Twas great.

How did you take the Goblin fight? Did it get your heart racing at all or was it pretty lack luster for you?

"The shadows betray you, because they belong to me! *punch punch punch punch mask crack*


I mean, it was cool while it lasted, but not anything entirely special. Doesn't help that all of it is basically in the trailer either.
[BLACKOUT]Gwen's death was good though. I am just mad Harry did it and not Norman.[/BLACKOUT]

You can't just slap "crazy" on something and suddenly it makes it good.

I know, right? Good thing I didn't say that.

The only way I can see this working is to remove Electro. IMO Electro is there to add 'fresh blood' to the franchise and distance comparisons to the old movies a la ASM1, which perhaps explains the GG not being a predominant villain. By removing Electro (who I was not fond of), we still get Harry time (essential and very entertaining) but get more Goblin time also which was unfortunately lacking. Thats my 2 cents.
