2002 Green Goblin - William Dafoe   William Dafoe was brilliant as the Green Goblin in Spider-Man Movie back in 2002. He did a masterful job as Harry Osborn and made his appearance memorable as they come. I was stunned by the evilness that he brings and he actually convinced me that he was the Green Goblin. His costume, his mask, and his overall appearance was best there is. He was the best of the best. And, that's why I always have a fondness of Spider Man movie back in 2002. His grade and his performance is a well deserving A+.

2007 New Goblin - James Franco   When, I watched this movie back in 2007 and I was very disappointed in the New Goblin and the way the costume made and Marvel Films went to a totally new direction and having thought of that and seeing it on the big screen his performance is not as memorable as William Dafoe in the 2002 film. I hated the costume so much and the design of it that I consider Spider Man 3 movie as not a good as the first two and did not see it again. I only saw this movie once and I was mad when they made all these changes that I consider unwelcome in my book. I like James Franco as an actor but his costume, revenge on his father the original Green Goblin was good, but the overall appearance made me think about the movie itself. I have to say this my grade as his performance was a C- - the Costume, the Dark Moods, and all the other stuff that I did not care for at all. I wished Marvel stick with the original design and added Purple to the Green Goblin suit and if I were graded the New Goblin costume it would gotten a big fat F.

Spider-Man 3 was a complete disaster.
It was painful to watch.
I liked the Sandman parts, but that's about it.

There wasn't a vote to kill the Doom Patrol. The book was cancelled due to poor sales. The Editor "appeared" in the last story to tell the readers that if enough of them wrote in then the the team could be revived. What seems more likely is that they were hoping for a sales bump that would let them bring back the feature. That obviously didn't happen. Ok, thanks for the clarification. Green Goblin, an excellent choice. Whenever I think of the Goblin, this is the image that springs immediately to my mind:  Being a kid of the 80s, I came to know about the Green Goblin more through the background of Stern's run on Spider-Man and the rise of Hobgoblin. Conway's depiction of him doing the Death of Gwen Stacy story was so diabolical, especially given how personal their feud had become by then. I also agree with your choice of Dafoe as Osborn/Green Goblin. He gave a creepy performance throughout the film. The scenes where he is 'talking' with the Goblin with the mask being propped up on the back of the chair are still chilling. |

Green Goblin Arsenal   This link below contains great information about the following arsenal in Green Goblin's lineup here. Goblin Arsenal Electro Blast Gloves From Amazing Spider-Man #40 Pumpkin Bombs From Amazing Spider-Man #27 Goblin Gases From Amazing Spider-Man #39 Mechanical Bats  From Amazing Spider-Man #17 More great stuff too ... this is probably the best information on the Green Goblin in the internet and it's loaded with stuff and I find it very fascinating and quite of history here and there.

I'm upgrading my PC to Windows 10 tomorrow and I'm going to try my best to resume this thread on Wednesday the latest; and I'm debating what to do next and stay tuned until Wednesday; whether I stay with the Green Goblin or move on to Number 43!
Thanks Everyone!

Thanks Everyone! Good luck! When I upgraded to Windows 10, I started to lose my internet connection repeatedly. I googled it, and found that it's a fairly common issue, so I went back to Window 7 and have been very happy ever since. I'll upgrade again when I am forced to. |

Green Goblin Arsenal
I'm not sure if it were your intention, but these two images segue beautifully into one another. Could be your sharp eye Mecha or it could be the fact that one was drawn by John Romita and the other his son decades and decades later.
As good a choice as the Goblin is however, I've always regarded Dr. Octopus as Spider-Man's Number One enemy. It was Otto Octavius who gave Spider-Man his first defeat back in Spider-Man 3; the one who formed and led The Sinister Six (you didn't think he'd ever settle for being merely equal to the other members of this force did you?); a foe who could match Spider-Man scientifically as well as physically both in person and behind the scenes as The Master Planner; enough of his own man that he doesn't have to go after Spider-Man's girlfriend or rely on his son to carry on the Octopus tradition to twistedly ingratiate himself into his foe's life (though Octopus did kill Betty Brant's brother and with that off-hand act, also kill Peter Parker's chances with Betty); so yeah, Dr. Octopus is my guy.
Still, I'd love to hear your thoughts on him at some point Mecha and you're right - that is a great outfit!

My intentions to share the best images that I can find and post them here and I don't pay much attention to the artist who drew them - but by art alone.

It was Otto Octavius who gave Spider-Man his first defeat back in Spider-Man 3; the one who formed and led The Sinister Six (you didn't think he'd ever settle for being merely equal to the other members of this force did you?); a foe who could match Spider-Man scientifically as well as physically both in person and behind the scenes as The Master Planner; enough of his own man that he doesn't have to go after Spider-Man's girlfriend or rely on his son to carry on the Octopus tradition to twistedly ingratiate himself into his foe's life (though Octopus did kill Betty Brant's brother and with that off-hand act, also kill Peter Parker's chances with Betty); so yeah, Dr. Octopus is my guy.

Chadwilliam, The bold portion inside your quote is from me. I agree with you - however in my own mind I do have Doc Ock on my list and it's will be awhile for you and everyone here to find out what rank he is. The problem is that I consider the Green Goblin on par with Doctor Octopus but the problem is that Green Goblin in my mind is much a loner and much more dangerous foe for Spider-Man and that's why I would classify the Green Goblin very much like the Joker to Batman. The problem with Doc Ock is the fact that he organized the Sinister Six and had to get help to defeat Spider-Man and having said that I have problems with that. When I first started with this list I was debating where to place Doc Ock because in my mind I read too many Spider-Man books with him as the main villain and not enough Green Goblin because I was pre-occupied with Doc Ock. It wasn't easy decision but to be honest with you - I consider the Green Goblin on par with Doctor Octopus as the main villain for Spider-Man but in my mind - Doc Ock took a short cut by creating the Sinister Six and that alone is a chicken way out and I don't want to offend any of the fans of Doctor Octopus here and that's why I put him at the much higher rank in my list.  I hope that my answer is satisfactory to you Chadwilliam. |

Personally, I've always considered Spider-Man's #1 enemy to be J. Jonah Jameson.  |

Personally, I've always considered Spider-Man's #1 enemy to be J. Jonah Jameson. I absolutely agree with this. J.J.J. is clearly Spidey's arch-nemesis. Nobody else has caused such consistent problems for him over the course of his entire career. |
