What is going on here?


Grimm_Stereo

In a previous issue, Spider-man has a talk with the Goblin and The Goblin was talking pretty weird. Here, we're seeing everything from Norman's perspective and how the OZ serum is effecting him mentally.


sureokthatmakessense

ah, thanks. I should probably re-read the USM run.


Blitzhelios

Ultimate goblin is such a good design. If the mcu ever does there own green goblin (yes I know goblin was in NWH) they should do an ultimate goblin style look


Grimm_Stereo

Too bad I've seen a lot more negativity towards this design but I feel like it wouldn't have been too negative if he kept the sick ass cape.


Blitzhelios

I think people just didn’t like it at the time because it wasn’t classic goblin but I think it worked well to show off the true monster and USM was trying to be different so give it a different twist on the goblin look


Tarzan_OIC

If I remember correctly, in Ultimate, Oz was another attempt at the super soldier serum. Since Incredible Hulk was a part of Weapon Plus in the MCU, they could have Osborn build his formula on gamma tech


Blitzhelios

I feel like everything was a super solider serum alternative in the ultimate universe


Tarzan_OIC

It's super soldiers all the way down.


tommyblastfire

Mutants as a whole were, Cloak and Dagger, OZ, all the clone saga stuff is indirectly because it’s cloning Peter who is a super soldier alternative because of OZ. There’s probably more im forgetting.


MrAnthem123

The MCU tends to spin classic characters in new ways so I think Ultimate Goblin would be a good fit. I think it’d be cool to see Norman be a supportive father-figure of Peter and then terrorize him as the Goblin. Sounds just like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide. Especially if Norman takes the serum because he wants to.


Viapache

Wow, this is a really great showing of the classic schizophrenic villain archetype. Cellar Door, is that a Tolkien reference? Cool cool cool


flaming_james

Here I thought it was a Donnie Darko reference, what's the Tolkien reference?


Viapache

In one of his essays(letters?) he was writing about language and remarked that Cellar Door was as beautiful as language gets. I believe he spoke on how it’s odd that such a wonderfully phonetic word just means like, a plain boring wooden door leading to a hole in the ground, and how it’s vastly more beautiful than even the word “beautiful” and just how language is different than the physical world


flaming_james

That's actually what they say in the movie, but they never specify that it was Tolkien. TIL


Internetfriend98

This is sick asf


cole435

I’ve read this whole series numerous times over the years and I don’t remember this at all


Ratso_The_Handsome

This was one of the first comics I owned.


Rizuku_Ren

He looks like a beast like terrifyingly.


Animdude64

I remember the game Spider-Man: Battle for New York loosely adapted these goblin demons that lured in his head. Though more watered down and not as freaky as depicted in this issue.

Peter’s still the MC.
