The reason I don't really have an issue with the original Green Goblin look is that it had to get translated into the real world somehow. I agree that animatronic head looks amazing, but how does the character get there? Is it a mask? Is it his face now? How can he go between Norman and Goblin if his face s permanently changed?
The 'helmet' is a plausible thing he could have made in a few hours in his lab. But it did neuter Dafoe in those moments. Wish they could have found some sort of solution, tough tho.

Or just go with the Green Arrow hood thing that apparently is as convincing as glasses for a disguise.

This is a good call too. Having his face mostly hidden by a hood, maybe with some pointy ears coming out of it, probably could have worked. You'd still be hiding Dafoe though, although you'd see his mouth and menacing grin, which is why I thought they got him overall.
