LEGO Spider-Man Green Goblin (1374)
Turn LEGO Studios Green Goblin 1374 into a three-frame story with Mary Jane, a hand-controlled glider and a choice that changes the ending.
The play at a glance
A little movie set with room for another ending
A purple-winged glider, two streetlamps and a pair of characters are enough to suggest a scene. LEGO Studios Green Goblin puts the Goblin and Mary Jane at the center of a small Spider-Man movie world. Give Mary Jane a choice, let the glider enter the picture, and decide what the audience sees next.
Look at the scene as a director
The Goblin’s green outfit contrasts with the glider’s purple wings, while Mary Jane’s red hair makes her easy to pick out in a small scene. Two streetlamps can mark an entrance and an exit. The booklet shows a long handle supporting the glider from behind, letting a hand supply its movement through the imagined action.
A movie scene can be more than a chase. It might begin with Mary Jane spotting a sign, noticing someone approaching or choosing between two paths. The flame and pumpkin props can suggest a dramatic backdrop, but the characters’ decisions are what give your particular version a beginning and an ending.
Try a scene in three frames
- Draw a wide view. Sketch both streetlamps and decide where each character begins. Give the scene a location, such as a quiet square before a festival.
- Draw a choice close up. Mary Jane notices that one path leads toward a crowd and the other toward an open meeting place. Add a speech bubble explaining which route she chooses.
- Draw the result. Show what happens after that choice. Perhaps a message reaches the crowd in time, or the characters stop to talk.
- Arrange the figures. Set up each drawing as a little tableau and tell its part of the story. Photography is optional; the three sketches can be the finished film.
- Change only the last frame. Keep the first two scenes and invent another result. Compare how the new ending changes the mood.
One player can describe the camera view while another supplies dialogue. Alone, read the three frames in different voices, or write captions beneath them. If using the glider’s handle, follow the matching instructions; a stationary glider is enough for each tableau.
Save the alternate cut
Give each ending a title and keep both beneath the same opening frames. One might be comic and another suspenseful. A tiny set can host quite different stories when the view, the dialogue and the final choice change.
