The Lizard has always been my favorite super villain of them all because he was always different, he was never truely evil unless in Lizard form. This May marks 10 years since the release of the original Sam Raimi Spider-Man film, this July comes Mark Webbs remake of the franchise with his villain being, The Lizard. From what we've seen and what we know, I decided to list the pros and cons of this version of The Lizard.

Pros: For one they got a damn good actor as Dr. Connors/Lizard, they stayed true to the Steve Ditko comicbook look minus the lab coat and the pants. The Lizard definately is gonna be like the comic counter part as far as having a mission to make the world be ruled by reptiles once again. I honestly think it's a little comicbookie, but hopefully this Spider-Man movie will be a little horror like because of who the villain is.

Cons: Other than the look and motivation, they really didn't stay true to the character and who he is. That really is the only con I can think of it for The Lizard other than they removed the clothes.

I know this is a pointless article but I figured I'd voice my opinions. What are your thoughts? What do you think are the pros and cons of The Lizard this year? Leave your thoughts and be respectul, please and thank you.

I'm confused. Wasn't the lizard's motivation in the early stories to turn everyone into reptiles like him? If so, what do you mean they didn't stay true to who he is?

I would have liked the lab coat tho

@Kalel219: I mean like, when not in Lizard form he isn't suppose to enjoy the power like the trailer suggests he does.

What in the trailer at all suggest he does ?

When he as a small kind of smirk and he is all filthy and he says "If you want the truth Peter, come and get it."

That doesn't really suggest he enjoys his power at all. That's just gloating Peter into a fight, not saying 'HAHA I HAVE LIZARD POWERS!AWESOME!"

For all we know,the transformation could be very painful and he could hate it.

But that is what I meant, the "HAHA I HAVE LIZARD POWERS!AWESOME!" that is basically saying he enjoys it and that is NOT what the character is.

Well I see it differently but ok. For all we know, it's what the MOVIE version of the character is.

I'm not sure there's enough in the trailer to quite see Conners'/Lizard's motivation. Apart from a few brief moments of a look of madness on Conners' face I don't think there's much to suggest a lot a about the whole movie.

The only motivation that seemed present was Peter's motivation for fighting/saving Conners. It seems he played a part in aiding his transformation.

We can comment on the look of the characters. But until we get more from a trailer or the movie itself I think most of your "con" is assumption.

You've seen around a minute or under of footage of the lizard, how can you possibly say that they have or haven't stayed true to the character? Like Kalel219 said, he isn't gloating about have power he's just provoking Peter into a fight, we have no idea what Peter might have said to him before that line.
