He has not lost his mind, nor has that insane lust for power like Foxx’s Electro. Something that we like about Molina’s Doc Ock is that he is perhaps the most sensible of all the villains. So, in a way, it is Dafoe’s Green Goblin who brings Peter to his Spider-Man moment, i.e., “With great powers comes great responsibility.” He wants to get better or pretends to get better only to figure out the right time to kill Tom Holland’s Peter Parker or cause him to get hurt, something he succeeds at by killing Aunt May. It must have been his shrewd mind that led him to her in some way. He goes to Aunt May (Marisa Tomei) for help, which seems like too much to be a coincidence. He smashes the Goblin mask, hoping to get rid of the voice that basically resides inside his head. When we first see Dafoe’s Osborn in “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” he is still in a mental struggle with his sinister self. Thus, he too is saved, like the other two. Max Dillon, aka Electro, is pulled in from the final event in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) right before he is about to die in the fight with Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man at the electrical grid. And being pulled here only saves his life. Thus, the former situation, although not co-relatable, is more sensible because we can see the true hatred there, the same hatred that is visible in “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” In either case, he ends up dying by drowning in the river. While the latter situation makes more sense (since he literally has Spider-Man by the throat), Octavius had no more hatred for Spider-Man then because he was Otto’s very own student, Parker. Or, it could be when he had an unmasked Peter by his throat. Either that or Doc Ock had Spider-Man upside down and was about to impale him with one of his arms. This can be related to two scenes from the movie. However, Doc Ock is pulled in, as he mentions, right at the moment when he had Spider-Man by the throat (at the end of Spider-Man (2002)). But in “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” from what it seems, he has been brought over from a moment before his final fight with Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man took place. At the end of Spider-Man (2002), he is killed by his own glider. At times, he is sane, and at other times, he is the sinister Green Goblin. Nevertheless, he injects the serum into himself and loses his mind. In Spider-Man (2002), Norman Osborn was denied a military contract for a serum with superhuman abilities along with a glider suit. And Foxx only upped the ante by becoming Electro.įrom Which Universe These Villains Come From? By this time, the Spider-Man movies were a world event. The next in line was Jamie Foxx (Academy Award, Ray). Perhaps it was fate that they would be given the roles that would make them immortal in live-action superhero movies. ”But Spider-Man was something totally new. Dafoe had garnered critical acclaim for movies like “The Last Temptation of Christ” and “Shadow of the Vampire.” Molina, on the other hand, was known for “Boogie Nights” and “Frida. Thankfully, today, Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy is considered the pioneer of the present generation of superhero movies, the one that revolutionized it big-time. Spider-Man would be the first step in a new direction, something that posed a huge risk. Talking about Willem Dafoe and Alfred Molina, it must have been surprising for Marvel to enlist such well-known actors and, conversely, for them to accept the offers. It would take another decade and a new iteration of Spider-Man for Jamie Foxx to introduce himself as Max Dillon, aka Electro, in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014). Molina, too, cemented his character in our psyche in a seamless manner. Two years later, in Raimi’s Spider-Man 2 (2004), Alfred Molina donned the mechanical arms to become the nefarious Doc Ock. Dafoe nailed his role, portraying a character with a dual identity. In Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man (2002), Willem Dafoe was cast as the formidable yet credible villain, the Green Goblin. While Jamie Foxx’s Electro is relatively new, Willem Dafoe’s Norman Osborn, aka Green Goblin, and Alfred Molina’s Otto Octavius, aka Doc Ock, go back to the early 2000s.
