Dafoe sells the character so well. Also dude seems indestructible, could probably stand up to Cap America

He would crush cap america i think. Strength wise he broke through three floors and generally scales well to all the live action spideys in a straight up brawl. He was taking serious hits from tom holland spidey without dying (heck it didnt seem like he was really hurt at all lol). I dont think cap can do that stuff.

He seems to be similar strength to the spidermen maybe slightly weaker and doesnt have the spider sense so not as agile. That said if cap was a 1 and spiderman was a 10 green gob should be around 8 to 9.

Ofc if cap america had the thor hammer thingy he would kill green gob but just talking base form.

I don't watch these movies but I saw Spiderman 2002 and have a guess. From what little of Thanos I've been forced to see, he's boring. People just take his lines and force them, bend over backwards to try and add more depth to him. The gauntlet is more over than him.

Just do the same Star Wars EU-like character building for Goblin if you really want, at least Dafoe's Green Goblin is trying to have some fun with what he does and either entertain himself or freak people out by maintaining the guise of a man who just doesn't care and will do whatever he wants. Dafoe's voice just rules as well and it could probably apply memorability to a lot of otherwise unremarkable lines.

A character doesn't necessarily need to be deep to be entertaining. Pure chaos can be extremely entertaining, especially in an action flick.

I sat through Guardians 1 and 2 to say I was giving these a fair shot, then ended up sitting through Ultron and Thanos 1 half interestedly because you know I'd only been watching 1 series and it was a whole universe. I took the hint after that. I've seen enough.
I could say I watched Spiderman 2 and 3 but they don't really factor in here.

There's nothing wrong or suspect about having an idea of what I enjoyed about Dafoe's Green Goblin by the way.

He really is what sells the character so well in live action. Especially how he portrays the differences of Norman personality and Goblin. Ever since 2002s Spider-Man people have said he was amazing in the role and that they wanted more.

He was just a very over the top, great and memerable villain both in character, and with numerous cool scenes and one liners. Doc ock being similar. But another was their character development and motivations. Which marvel and many super hero movies drop the ball on nowadays.

Honestly, how often do the hero and villains confront one another mutiple times and talk, and have proper discussions? Like the rooftop scene spiderman 1? Writers are so obsessed with making bad guys sympathetic and relatable that they forget to write a actual good villain.

1. Dafoe sold the split personality well
2. He is great at chewing the scenery so he is very entertaining.
3. He is good at actually being a threat and making things personal. The two spidey's he mainly antagonizes pair well with him.
4. He has a distinct voice

Goblin and Doc Ock are the two favorites, and them being back in NWH only increased their popularity, and gave the other characters a huge boost as well.
