Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin: CGI Critique
Willem Dafoe’s portrayal of the Green Goblin in “Spider-Man” drew criticism for its CGI-heavy mask, with Roger Ebert likening it to “a high-tech action figure.” Despite this, Dafoe’s performance solidified his status as a comic book movie icon.
Changes to the costume design in “Spider-Man: No Way Home” likely occurred in response to the criticism, evident in the early destruction of the Green Goblin mask in the film.
