As it turns out, though, that wasn’t always the look the studio had in mind for the Green Goblin.
While plenty of fans hold Sam Raimi‘s Spider-Man film close to their hearts, it’s probably fair to say that the costume for Willem Dafoe‘s Green Goblin hasn’t aged particularly well.
If anything, this is another opportunity to pour one out for the power of animatronics on film.
The next time Green Goblin finds his way into the Spider-Man universe, he’ll undoubtedly be created almost entirely via CGI, making Amalgamated Dynamics’ creation a sad reminder of an era in blockbuster filmmaking that’s on its way out.
