Raimi's outfit designs are simply the best! This version of the Green Goblin was, is, and will always be the definitive version of the villain to me. So much so that whenever I saw a different version of the goblin (especially versions older than the movie one), they looked wrong.

This honestly means a ton to hear because, for this video specifically, I took a lot of cues from a couple of my favorite NPR shows. I wanted something less analytical and more story-driven. And just, they do it best over there.

Now with No Way Home tying with the Raimi and Webb Spider-Man movies, Defoe's Green Goblin is now technically the first MCU villain.

From interviews I've seen recently, it seems like he's just as passionate about his job as ever. Loads of respect for anyone who can preserve that for their whole life.

i know he mentions it, but his theatre training is highly experimental - you can look up his work with the Wooster Group to get a very strong understanding of where the need to do the “physical stuff” he mentions, along with his swing-for-the-fucking-fences delivery, comes from. huge admirer of his career and his artistic ambitions

@@CinemaStix This would be the one! Only ever saw the first Garfield movie, same with Holland's. Don't think either of them were bad, but to me they don't hold up against Maguire's Spider-Man of 2002. Seeing as I saw the 2002 one multiple times as a kid, and can appreciate the acting and other aspects of the movie even more now as an adult; it has only improved in my eyes. Love that movie, both Maguire and Defoe were brilliant!

Amazing editing and commentary! had me smiling throughout the whole video :)

Thank you, sincerely! This one especially felt a little experimental as I was putting it together, so I’m glad to hear it paid off. Got something new coming tomorrow :)

Acting as these over-the-top villains and in these expressive scenes sounds like a blast, but this video puts into perspective how much effort goes into all of the background stuff and getting prepared for it.

There was so much creativity and passion put into the Raimi movies, from the performances to the effects team and everyone else. I've tried watching these other MCU movies but they feel like something else. Sure the Raimi movies can be cheesy at times but they felt so much more authentic than these new marvel movies nowadays. This was a risky move. Something new and unconventional. These new ones feel like they're just betting on the "safe path" once they saw how lucrative these types of movies are

Dafoe is such a gem

It's always super cool seeing the real-world background for how a character ended up the way they are presented on the big screen. The casting battles, the actor's thought processes, why they presented certain scenes the way they did, etc. It's like getting a glimpse into the bigger picture of what makes the artform art to begin with, and why it ends up being art at all.

Welcome!

Great video.

Genuinely curious, what do you think separates Defoes performance from Ledgers. Personally I think he did as good as Ledger

I think context and tone make the two very difficult to compare. But I would definitely admit that they both have each their all. That just meant different things to each of them. Both are pitch perfect. Why I feel Ledger stands out from most other villains in movies is how transformative his portrayal was. I think Dafoe was a great choice for Goblin, naturally and intuitively. But I think Ledger defies nature and intuition to mold a character in unexpected ways. Just IMO :) -Danny

I can't even imagine what a loss it would be if they casted someone else. That movie wouldn't work without Willem and he probably wouldn't be so popular and beloved today if it wasn't for the Green Goblin. But the best thing is that you can tell he really loves acting and is always having a lot of fun on set.

this is a good video 👍

Willem Dafoe's portrayal of the Green Goblin will always be my favorite portrayal of a villain especially within the MCU not to mention that Green Goblin as a whole is my favorite villain within the MCU in general. Great vid tho gang I subscribed & will stay tuned for any of your new content 🔥💯

That mirror scene is one of the craziest scenes I have ever seen in a super hero movie I don’t any other superhero movie has had a scene like that

Love how no way home did do much work and appreciation to the green goblin

Up there with heath ledger and Jack Nicholson for absolutely nailing a villain in a comic book movie. An absolutely legendary performance. When I was 9 and this movie came out he scared the shit out of me!

cool video🔥

Willem Dafoe's performance as Green Goblin was legendary.

Raimi trilogy had such good casting. Just perfect

Im 23. And I remember when I first saw the movie as a kid. Every actor’s/actresses face in this movie, even if I only knew from this movie, have nostalgic faces and roles I haven’t forgotten. That’s some good nostalgia and acting.

It's strange, I feel a sort of retrospective anxiety and simultaneously an immense relief upon learning that Willem Dafoe had to fight for the role. Raimi's Spider-Man is the very first movie I ever saw in theaters at just 1 year old. Ever since then, it's remained my very favorite film series of all time. Easily more impactful for me than ANY other media. I've seen them all a million times, and I'm somehow lucky enough to have been born just in time to witness each one's release, and the hype surrounding them, all during my formative years. The composition of every scene, the delivery of every line of dialogue, they're distinctly and permanently burned into my brain. And Dafoe's performance was so perfect. The thought that it more easily could have been Nicolas Cage or anyone else in his place... it feels like a bizarre perversion of what I now consider to be a timeless, classic, revolutionary masterpiece, created exactly as it was meant to be. As if the universe willed it the very moment of its birth. I can't imagine a world without Raimi's Spider-Man, or without Dafoe's Goblin. I don't want to. They made me who I am.

Great video bro! I love your channel!! First started watching the Heath Ledger video (awesome video) and then I was led to this one. I love Willem Defoe. I was cheering so loud for him in Spiderman No Way Home.
