10 Mind-Blowing Movie Details You Totally Missed

The Spider-Man trilogy greatly benefitted from director Sam Raimi’s attention to detail and visual flourishes, something that ensured that each film felt engaging to look at during quiet, dramatic scenes or their bombastic action set pieces.

This meticulous approach was seen in the presentation of Willem Dafoe’s iconic Green Goblin. The actor and director took their time to craft the dual personalities of the villain and ensure that each side felt like distinct sides of a most unusual coin. This was seen in Norman’s sometimes off-putting but still humane demeanour as opposed to Goblin’s utterly deranged persona.

That said, the differences were not restricted to personality traits or moral compasses despite the personas sharing a body. As noticed by a Reddit user, Norman’s front teeth get a gap in between them when he transforms into Goblin and are fixed when Norman is in control.

Interestingly, the Goblin’s teeth are Dafoe’s in real life, but the actor and creative team chose to create the difference to add a more sinister layer to Goblin’s appearance, a choice that supplements Dafoe’s intimidating and frenzied style of physical acting as the villain.
