It could have originally been a full face mask/shield but Norman could have been shown modifying it and ripping off the mouth guard or better yet Spidey smashing the mouth guard in their first conflict and little by little Norman's face is exposed as with each fight his helmet is chipped away until the big reveal at the very end of the movie.

      I mean…we have had mainstream audiences accept things like STARRO & freaking MODOK (sort of, on the latter. Lol!)! Point is just that the last 25 years had thrown some pretty “Comic Funky” things, at audiences; & they’ve accepted it fully. It does seem movies have been getting closer & closer to full comic accurate.
      Marvel just figured it out, by dampening, darkening, & muting the bright-ass colors. That is the biggest problem, with it transferring to realism. Then, DC starts taking it back to comic vibrancy (literally), with The Suicide Squad. Lol! I guess I keep pointing to that second Suicide Sqaud, as an example of “comic accurate”. I mean, I’ve always thought Peacemaker looks cheesy & as ridiculous as all get-out. Lol! But, look at where they’re taken THAT character.
      I’ll put it this way, with modern makeup & CGI combination - if I can watch a 2.5-movie movie AND an 8-episode show of Colin Ferrell playing The PENGUIN…and the entire time keep forgetting it’s Colin himself bc of the ridiculously good makeup, costume, & effects..?

      In the 1960s and the 1970s, superhero television series usually didn’t have the budget to be anything more than “corny looking”. The Christopher Reeve Superman films were different because they were major motion pictures with budgets suitable for the big screen…and so was the Tim Burton Batman film in 1989. You have to remember that costumes and special effects improve over the decades and the budgets only grow bigger because the best special effects and costumes require larger budgets.

Nearly 20 years deep, into a Graphic Design career; that I am currently teaching myself & transition into 3D printing & animation. In fact, it wasn’t even always the budget. There were times they DID have THAT. It was the technology, at the time, just as much. They didn’t even have the tools & resources, to do it…because they didn’t exist. Movies like Star Wars & TRON helped move that along. But, even THOSE were brand new & “cutting edge”. So, if the techniques &/or tools DID exist, then that is when budget comes into play.
      But, yeah. I’m fully aware, of these things. My entire upbringing, the 60s, 70s, & 80s adaptations were ALL we had out there. I even watched the original The Flash show, with my dad, every week or came on with a new episode. Lol! I was raised in a science fiction-loving (or “sci-fi”) household. Lol! My Dad is who introduced me to COMICS even, when I was in the hospital for my second surgery, at just 6-years old. Even remember the issue & still have it (as wrinkly as it is): Fantastic Four Vol 1, Issue 21; Super-Sized Annual, “Guest Starring The Inhumans”, part of the ‘Evolutionary War’ story arc, from 1988. Lol! (Sorry…I had to list it all out, so there was no confusion. Lol!)
      Anyway…but, in a way, a lot of that is somewhat irrelevant. Because it doesn’t change what the public saw. We ALL knew WHY it looked so “crappy” & “cheap”…that is because it WAS. Lol! When it comes to budget, though…that’s because studios & producers, or whoever else in the Hollywood business, didn’t think they’d do well, anyway. So, they didn’t throw a lot of fishing that way. Comics were still viewed as just “little kids media”. So, that’s the level of “seriousness” they received. Lol!
      It’s kind of ironic, in a way, that it was Batmans’s fault, that comic shows & movies went that cheesy, campy route, to BEGIN with; only for Batman ‘89 to be the first movie or show to TRULY CHANGE that. Even after 1989 & Batman Returns in ‘92, it still took a little while to get going, with the masses.
      Basically, no matter the reasoning behind it (to which no, I have not forgotten & am fully aware what that is. Lol!), it is still how they were viewed, by the general population & the masses. It was going to take time, to change that.
      Even with Spider-Man here, part of why I don’t think it would’ve worked is because the technology STILL wasn’t there. Something like this should be practical effects first, then using CGI to do “touch-ups” & to “clean it up”; making it seamless, with reality itself. That was the ORIGINAL point, in using CGI for special effects. Jurassic Park did this properly, all the way back in ‘93! That movie set the tone & pace, and showed EVERYone both what CAN be done, as WELL as HOW to do it…PROPERLY & CORRECTLY. Lol!
      Just….people doing listen & pay attention, to that. Therefore….
      It just got WAY out of hand, with filmmakers using ONLY computer graphics, to make everything. Anyway…no matter what, I don’t think Green Goblin would have looked “good ENOUGH”, for people to accept it. They kind of HAD to go this route, BECAUSE of the technological hindrances. I just don’t see any way they could’ve made it “Right”, back in 2000.
      Just curious, but did I say something that may have given the impression that I DIDN’T know (of even FORGOT about) of the financial & technological insufficiencies, of the day?

    They EASILY could have utilized that mask in the Aunt May break in scene as sort of a nightmare sequence. Like only she could see him for the demon he actually is. "THOSE EYES" would've made that much more sense. I wouldn't mind a fan made cgi rendition for exactly that.

    A few tweaks to that original design would have been amazing. What we ended up getting was better than if they had gone a CGI route at the time. People forget that the first Spider-Man movie was almost completely reimagined and severely delayed due to 9/11. Many of the original elements were scrapped and production shifted gears to efficiency. Anything that decreased efficiency that could be scraped, without significant impact on the end product, had to go.

    I actually liked the helmet. But if I had to make him emote, here's what I'd do. The upper part of the helmet will be the goblin eyes and nose, but with the mouth exposed. Think Batman's cowl but its armored. Goblin would wear a green translucent mouth shield/mouth plate that will make him show his emotions better.
    You mentioned Deadpool's expressive suite and mask. What if GG wears a skin tight suit, but its made for combat and military uses. Its fire proof, bullet proof, hard to pierce (except for teh glider) can withstand heat and coldness, and can take blunt force. The mask will also be the same, and the face can be modified for protection, which gives it a goblinish look. It also has eye shields, and a mouth guard.
    Or you can have what teh Ultimate Universe did and have Norman transform into the Goblin. But instead of him looking like the Abomination with wings, he'll look more like his 616 counterpart. He's be stronger, faster, harder skin and bones, and a complete psycho. Think Jekyll and Hyde if that makes sense.
    Which one do you like?

    The only scene in that movie that I actively cringed at in the theater when I watched it was the one on top of the roof where the Goblin proposes working together. Two guys in masks, where you can't see any facial expressions or mouth movements on a set that looks like a set rather than a real rooftop. Ugh.
    However, to the point of this video... the GG mask that they tested, and opted to not use, would have been so much better for the movie. It looked great!

  • @schoolprojects1835

    Clearly I’m in the minority, but I have always loved the film helmet and think it’s incredibly badass and and cool looking, it’s contemporary, original, and fits within the world and what is established by the film. A few tweaks to the overall costume like what was done in no way home could have gone a long way to making it one of the better costumes of the 2000s in my opinion. Some comic costumes in my opinion are not ever going to translate well to film and the green goblin is one of them, the rubber mask Halloween look may have worked in the 60s and may look good in art but in live action it just doesn’t in my honest opinion. I think lately we are getting lost in the comic accuracy craze and I while I love a costume that honours the original comics, part of what made superhero films special to me is the challenge of making these wild characters and their crazy awesome costumes work in a “realistic” real world setting. Norman throwing on a animatronic rubber mask to go along with his military grade battle armour and glider just doesn’t really work in my opinion. It’s also something to remember that these films aren’t the comics, they are adaptations inspired by classic characters and I think that lends to a little creative freedom when translating them to different media. Maybe I’m biased but I just love the helmet and wish it got more recognition and love, and if anyone hasn’t seen it the comic version of the 2002 movie, the goblins costume looks fantastic when made into art and really makes me appreciate the whole look a lot more than just the helmet. Anyways great video, while I’m not a fan of it the animatronic mask is really interesting and I I’m curious how it would have looked in the finished film.

  • @alanhindle3149
    @alanhindle3149 Місяць тому +2

    I'm so glad they didn't use this other mask. I don't think it would have been more expressive, but less. Which perhaps Dafoe felt as well. The use of masks is a technique actors learn and has been part of their repertoire for thousands of years. It changes the way an actor moves, turns their head, uses their voice- all things Dafoe understands and used. With an essentially animatronic mask, which would have been fine I suppose, you could have used any actor since it's the puppeteers who then do all the acting. Certainly you might have been less likely to get an actor of such high calibre interested in playing the character, though, and that would mean we wouldn't have had him for No Way Home.
    But also, the use of masks is itself a theme in the story and draws on a huge background of history and meaning. Without it the Green Goblin in the film is just a creepy monster. Not that I have anything against creepy monsters in movies, but that's all they are. A quick thrill for the hero to vanquish. Fun but limited.

    2:21 "they aimed for a more modern and realistic look"..... ummmm realistic how? I went into that movie with zero expectations because movies always screw up the source material. So I had low expectations..... I ended up enjoying the movie but it had 2 dramatic flaws....the silver webs on the Spiderman suit made it look like "Disco Spider-man" and the Goblin looked like a naked robot....a horrid choice. The movie would have held up much better had they went with the mask you show here but with the proper peak on his brow as without that it looks like "Receding Hairline Goblin"....but still would have been better than C3po's Angry Green Cousin.

  • @The_Mighty_Fiction
    @The_Mighty_Fiction Місяць тому +1

    Now was that supposed to be a mask in-universe or was it supposed to be his own transformed face? If the former, you'd have a time explaining where it came from and why. If the latter, it flags up the change between Norman and the Goblin, which I think would've changed his performance. For example, in NWH, the Goblin wouldn't have been able to fool Peter after he suddenly turned green and sprouted pointy ears.

Nolans Batman was great but no way with his directoral style and need for gritty realism he could do comic book accurate Batman, Joker and Bane. You would need a Director who can do dynamic and dramatic light and shadow with bright pastels, similar to The late Jonathan Demme to pull off comic book accurate, Maybe Spike Lee, Steven Soderbergh or Oliver Stone kind of guys.
