      Well, he was the best Norman Osborn. TAS Norman was a bed ridden narcissist, and the other 2 Green Goblins were both Harry.
      I think that James Franco was a better physical actor in the role, but that's just my opinion.
      Compared to Tobey's Peter and Keirsten's MJ, he was brilliant, though you could say the same about Alfred Molina and Thomas Hayden Church.

      Please stop relating to Joker as if it’s some kind of coveted and most desired role an actor can get. It’s overrated and not really interesting after first five minutes. It’s considered this way only by ignorant fanboys that never watched a move that is not in English or a movie without explosions. Joker is a silly role, over simplified and shallow representation of imaginary villain that can never exist in reality. Only teenagers and infantile adults will think that Joker is complex character.

      Dr. Mantis Toboggan, M.D., quite the opposite. If it's not loud to you, compared to the rest of the video, you're getting deaf, old man. Also, you must not understand basic audio editing. They, the A/V person that edited this video, slapped two different audio files together without normalizing, which is a rookie mistake. The problem is exacerbated using headphones. The volume transition from main video to outtro music is such, that it can cause damage to your hearing. As an "M.D." you should know and care about this... Unless you're only one on YT for bragging rights.
