Holy cow, that would have been so much better.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i would have loved something like that!!!

Hooooooly Crap!!!! Why oh why isn't THAT what we saw on the screen instead of the Robo-Goblin!!! That would have played sooooo much cooler.

You know why?

Likely because Sony's Marketing Dept. looked at it and were puzzled as to how to make a toy out of it when the Power Ranger Goblin was so much easier.

Sad. Would've loved to have seen this on the big screen....

Now that would have been befitting of the Green Goblin.

I guess the whole armored suit thing made more sense from a "crazed weapons manufacturer" story perspective, but aesthetically, that rubber mask is incredible.

[Bruce Banner]

I remember seeing a similar still of the Green Goblin mask test in an issue of Cinefex back in 2002.

Yes, that would have been so much better.

Imagine how much cooler the scenes with Spidey and GG interacting in the movie would have been had they used that prosthetic. It would have been... amazing.

I do wonder what it was about this version that they didn't like? Whose decision it was to NOT use it?

Interesting and cool to have been able to see. Thanks for posting!!

Ive always felt there was alot of pull and shove between Raimi and the studio that becomes more apparent in the last installment. Done completely his way it probably would have been much closer to the original material especially since he was a fan of the character growing up.

OH...MY... GOD!!! I have no words...

I hated the end product for the Green Goblin in the first movie! The studios have a way of ****ing the fans off by changing things around too much. This original version would have been amazing!

^ Especially when you consider what a terrific actor Willem Defoe is.

When corporate suits ruin movies.

Did someone say it could have been worse?

Good god what is that? It looks like the offspring of Green Goblin and Lady Gaga.

In fact, that is what I'm calling it...the Green Gagablin.
