Check out how Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin should have looked in the first Spider-Man movie.

Ah, but it wasnt always going to be this way.
Amalagamated Dynamics Inc originally had a much more interesting plan for Dafoes Green Goblin mask.

Check out these two test videos.

Still, this likely would have been a nightmare for an actor to wear.
Its probably pretty top heavy, for one thing.
Couldnt they have split the difference between this and what we ended up with?

But hopefully the next time someone decides to put Norman Osborn on the screen, they get him right.
They could certainly learn a little something from Amalgamated Dynamics original try with the character.
