* If Electro is some kind of all-powerful electricity sponge, the consequences would have been far greater than a mere mundane blackout. He should have absorbed the electricity of people's nervous systems as well, killing everyone in the city. [[RealityEnsues That would have been more realistic]]... [[AndThatsTerrible and terrible]].

* The series has been cancelled to make way for the MarvelCinematicUniverse version. As this movie had a BolivianArmyEnding with Spider-Man in mid-battle with the Rhino, the audience can infer that Spidey died shortly after the credits began rolling.

** It's also a subtle reminder that the man that became Electro was (and still is) a superhero fan. He used to be one of Spider-Man's [[StalkerWithoutACrush most devout fanboys]], but now that he's written Spidey off as a BrokenPedestal he's free to make up his own theme song on the fly as Electro.

** ...his body, fully dead, would burn to ashes, as per the purpose of crematorii. Like it has been said, the incident killed him, so being burned in a crematorium is a logical next move for the evil Oscorp. It's unethical, but not horrorful.



** This tropes's belief is - Electro could only absorb electricity using physical contact, so unless he touches all the people in NYC, they're safe. At Times Square, he got the power from the electricity node by touching it, the same way he got it at the Oscorp plant.

* When Max Dillon is instructed to go fix the broken circuit, he calls up another man on a walkie talkie (who is in control of the electricity flow) asking him if he can cut the power to the designated circuit. After the other man refuses to turn the power off, Max follows up by claiming that it is going to be very dangerous if the power stays on.
** This dialogue makes sense when you realize that, had the power been turned off, Max would have never been in the accident and thus would have never transformed into Electro.

** An interesting thing came up in the conversation between Norman and his son Harry. Harry mentions bitterly that Norman gave him scotch for his 16th birthday. Norman himself probably downed a ton of scotch throughout his life because it gave some form of solace from the fearful knowledge that an incurable genetic disease was slowing taking his life, so he figures that his own son may as well start "partaking" early since he's going to meet the same fate unless a cure is found.
