Willem Dafoe might the only person that could do comic GG justice at the height of his menace

from what I understand, he's as maniacal as the Joker, but has super powers and a special hatred of Peter Parker/Spider-Man.

he's tortured and killed people that Peter cared about, and has brought him to his breaking point.

Green Goblin from the comics basically tucked tail and turned into the Hulk after Willem's performance. It hasn't been the same since. Nobody (sane) even wants to touch the character. It's even hard to describe.

He literally had children with Gwen Stacy just to mess with Peter. Peter learned of this years after she was dead. Dude is extremely petty. It was recently retconned though.
Also had Aunt May portrayed by a genetically altered actress so she could "die" and ruin Peter.

One thing I like about movies is finality, one way or another the Goblin is truly stopped in SM1 and NWH. How do the comics handle that? Like does Spidey just slam that dude in handcuffs after he blows up town square and the reader just waits for him to get out again?

He fakes his own death a lot.

Along with what Xethuminra said...guys like Kingpin, Luthor, Osborn,... rarely even see a cell due to the power and wealth they possess. These are all known career criminals yet the 1st became mayor of New York, the 2nd became POTUS and Osborn was effectively director of SHIELD with his own team of Avengers.

Comic GG is just an idiot in tights. Willem Defoe's voice and facial expressions are what makes GG a good villain.

Literally the worst most contrived storyline in all of Marvel. It was so universally reviled that I'm surprised they didn't issue an official apology

It was supposed to be erased completely by One More Day but for some reason the Marvel executives don't want it to be erased. The kids were also supposed to be Peter and Gwen's kids and Norman basically kidnaps them but the Marvel executives didn't like that idea either so they made Gwen bang Norman and have kids with him.

Dafoe is a 1-to-1 adaptation of GG at his best. A vindictive asshole even before the serum changed him, he doesn't have a plan except to maim those who've slighted him, Peter Parker most of all.

NWH Spoilers: spider sense going off the instant the Goblin persona takes over was perfection. Green Goblin really is just that much of a threat to Peter's existence.

I liked around Civil War era Norman when he was like more unhinged Lex Luthor, besides that he's pretty ehhhhhhh.
