Hearing the Green Goblin’s malicious laugh and watching him tossing pumpkin bombs on the glider has certainly brought back the audiences’ memories.įurther expanding on the Spider-Man: No Way Home collectible series, Hot Toys and Sideshow are thrilled to present the Green Goblin (Deluxe Version) Sixth Scale Collectible Figure that will spread fear among your display. Green Goblin made his surprising return from the early Spider-Man movies along with some classic villains after Peter Parker and Doctor Strange inadvertently open up the door to the multiverse. Here’s some more footage from other news outlets, if that wasn’t enough for you.“They’re starting to come through. If you haven’t seen the footage yet, check it out below. It’ll only set you back about a quarter of a million dollars. If France and Zapata aren’t careful, this flyboard’s gonna disappear in the middle of the night, and wind up beneath the feet of either a terrorist or a deeply committed cosplayer.Īctually, you can just go buy a flyboard directly from Zapata’s company. ![]() Hell, I knew this was a planned part of the parade the first time I watched this video, but I still half expected this guy to swoop down in front of Emmanuel Macron and his boys and open fire, before demanding something from the United Nations. ![]() If this happened in America you know people would immediately start panicking and fleeing. Having this one guy zoom around by himself with a machine gun and a futuristic space helmet just reinforces the supervillain vibe that everybody’s automatically going to pick up on here. If France plans to use these things in their military, they probably should have had actual soldiers showing it off, and perhaps a whole little squadron of them to really hammer home the wartime capabilities. Yeah, it’s a military parade, but this would be like the guy who invented the Roomba showing it off on the Fourth of July after strapping some artillery to it. The machine gun is just completely baffling, though. I don’t know why Zapata had to wear one that looks so potentially sinister though-if you want to be positive you could say it looks like Ant-man, or if you want to double down on the supervillain talk you could point out how it looks like something one of Cobra’s Viper squads would wear in the ‘80s G.I. If I was hovering dozens of feet in the air on something I whipped together myself, I’d definitely want something to protect my head. We even get the helmet that Zapata is wearing here. Who wouldn’t be proud of building something as cool and iconic as the Green Goblin’s glider, even if it’s a tool dedicated solely to furthering Norman Osborn’s egomaniacal campaign of evil and villainy? It makes sense that Zapata and the French government would want to show off the flyboard during their big national parade-it’s like when the US had that guy fly a jetpack into the opening ceremony of the 1984 Olympics. It was invented all the way back in 2012 by Franky Zapata, who is described as a “French water-craft rider” on Wikipedia, and who I will thus always see riding a jet ski in my head whenever I think about him. (Yes, this was the inspiration for Trump’s absurd parade earlier this month.)ĭespite all the attention this video is getting around the world today, this kind of flyboard isn’t that new. Every year France celebrates it with a big military parade on the Champs-Élysées. It kicked off the French Revolution, which was like ours but more confusing and with way more decapitations. ![]() Yesterday was Bastille Day, the national holiday of France that commemorates the people storming and raiding a prison that also served as a storage space for weapons and ammo all the way back in 1789.
