Why fans believe Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man killed the Lizard


The Amazing Spider-Man duology didn’t capture the imaginations of the public like the Sam Raimi

films did, but that doesn’t mean fans aren’t still discussing them, and a new fan theory may change how you see the webslinger.

After Spider-Man: No Way Home saw the return of both Garfield and Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Men,

fans have been working overtime to fill in the blanks for the two since we last saw them.

Garfield’s Spider-Man comments that he went through a dark period focusing on vengeance after Gwen Stacy died,

and now fans think that may have meant killing a classic member of the webhead’s rogues gallery.

the theory stipulates that the dark era of his time as a vigilante may have led him to kill Curt Connors

The Lizard out of pure rage, which would have fit perfectly with the darker tone the first Amazing Spider-Man movie went for.
