Spider-Man: The Animated Series

Hilarious in Hindsight in this series.

---

• Visually, both the Lizard (wearing no article of clothing) and Electro (completely made of electrical energy and being blue in color) look very similar to how they would end up looking like in The Amazing Spider-Man Series.
  • Even their alter egos are similar: Doc Connors is a lean, blonde, bespectacled man, Max Dillon just wanted to have friends and was rescued by Spidey once before his fateful transformation.
  • There's also the fact that Spider-Man's final battle with the Lizard even happens atop the Oscorp building, just like in the movie.
• The episode "Royal Scam" has several tropes that were also used in Spider-Man 2:
  • Peter promises to attend MJ’s play but his responsibilities as Spider-Man keeps getting in the way.
  • Peter tries to buy flowers for MJ, but he can’t afford the good bunch so he only takes the amount of flowers he can actually afford.
  • Peter watches MJ dating someone else when he is unable to attend her play.
  • When he is finally able to attend her play, he realises its too late and she’s with someone else.
• In Electro's second appearance, Harry ends up joining forces with Spider-Man by offering him a hand when he is down, while trying to protect a Damsel in Distress. Four years later, the Harry Osborn of the films (which the show attempts to follow, though with a Broad Strokes approach) does the exact same thing in Spider-Man 3, while trying to protect a Damsel in Distress (MJ) except, this time its after he pulls a Heel–Face Turn and accepts Peter/Spidey as his friend again.
• This won't be the last time where The Kingpin, dressed in black suit, would appear in a CGI Spider-Man medium where, in the end he is seen being trapped in Spidey's webbing, left for the police. Only this time, the races of both the characters are reversed .^Explanation The Kingpin received a Race Lift and therefore, was black in this version fighting a white Peter Parker, much like Daredevil and Spider-Verse had Miles Morales version of Spider-Man battling a white Kingpin.
