Editing Green Goblin (Raimi) (section)

==Trivia==

*'''Appearances Across the Trilogy''': The Green Goblin appears in all three films of Sam Raimi's ''Spider-Man'' trilogy, albeit as illusions in the second and third films.
*'''Same Actor in Different Franchises''': Willem Dafoe is one of the few actors to reprise the same role (Norman Osborn/Green Goblin) in different Spider-Man film franchises, returning in ''Spider-Man: No Way Home''.
*'''Comic Origin of the Goblin Formula''': In the original comics, Norman's transformation into the Green Goblin is caused by his son, Harry, tampering with the Goblin Formula out of spite for his father’s emotional neglect. The unstable formula exploded in Norman's face, leaving him hospitalized for a week.
*'''Costume Evolution''': In Raimi's series, Norman wore full green armor and a Goblin mask. In ''No Way Home'', his attire was loosely inspired by Alex Ross’s unused 2002 design, incorporating a tattered purple hoodie, a brown satchel, and black goggles (taken from Doctor Octopus) in place of his broken helmet.
*'''Spider-Man Movie Game Differences''': In the ''Spider-Man'' video game adaptation, the Green Goblin's death is less graphic—he is impaled in the stomach by his glider but shows no visible injuries and falls to the ground. He also has a final line apologizing to Harry before his death.
*'''MIT Prodigy''': Norman was the youngest graduate of MIT, completing his degree at the age of 18.
*'''Design Influence''': The Green Goblin's mask resembles the head of Jet Jaguar, a character from the ''Godzilla'' universe.
*'''Foreshadowing Through Props''': In Harry's apartment in Raimi's trilogy, there is a mug featuring a young Mao Zedong, potentially a subtle nod to the Osborns' morally questionable nature. The mug, likely a collectible from Norman’s travels, parallels his collection of masks and hints at his and/or Harry’s descent into villainy.
