The MYSTERY Of The Missing Spider-Man 2 Boss Fight!

I’m sure you’re gonna get hundreds of people tell you this but I’m the first. Just about everything about the lizard missions was recycled for the Spider-Man 3 ps3/360 version of the game. Even the ninjas are in it.

Guess that would explain the Lizard subplots being used in the Spider-Man 3 games

So basically they just took the concept and put it in Spider-Man 3, cause what you're describing sounds a lot like the lizard subplot and the Spider-Man 3 game.

Spiderman 2 in Gba has Lizard instead of Spiderman 3 in Spiderman 3 Gba Lizard is replaced with mad bomber.

Actually the GBA and Ngage ports of the game, which were 2d side-scrollers made for handheld platforms, had sewer levels and eventually the Lizard as a boss fight in the end of those.

Its rare to see these types of videos on old Spider-Man games. You love to see it. I also realized those manhole covers are massive. Probably because you could've entered through them to access the sewer.

The lizard wasnt entirely missing it was on the GBA. But 3D lizard model used in the cut scene got used as those bulky Lizard enemies but not actual Lizard Curt Conners turned into.

I appreciate how much research you did in regards to connecting the dots with concept art and audio files

wow the timing, as soon as i finish this video a new one pops into my yt recomendations of a guy that actually found the unfinished sewers inside of the game (only acessible with cheats)

I'm genuinely curious now how they would have made it work. On top of the game already being stuffed full of villains with their own plotlines, Spider-Man 2 has a very different tone and theme from Spider-Man 3 where the Lizard and Kraven stories were added. The Lizard story wouldn't have served very well in number 2's more hopeful and motivating theme of sacrifice and balance. It works a lot better with number 3's themes of redemption, forgiveness and battling inner demons. Connors experiences a similar change that Spider-Man does where their darkest side nearly becomes their undoing. I'm guessing that's exactly why it was cut because either there just wasn't enough space with the Mysterio, Black Cat and Shocker storylines or they couldn't find a way for the idea to complement the story the way Black Cat does with her representing the other side of the struggle that Peter faces in choosing between his two lives.

Varan is short for Varanus, which is a subspecies of lizards comprised of monitors such as the komodo dragon.

Play the Wii version of Spider-Man 3. All of this lizard stuff is in there. The lizard minions coming out of the sewer, having to chase and fight the lizard, lizard being turned into a giant monster lizard. Check it out!!

Nice use of the Scorpion music at the end, there. Fits the Lizard in the sewers better that it ever did his two levels

The Spider-Man 3 5-inch-scale toy line included a lizard figure based on the PS2 game concept art design.

thanks for the info big bro, always wondered if I just missed this bossfight

Just got this vid recommended to me! One of my fave games of all-time and while I knew about most-to-all the cut Lizard stuff, it’s excellent to see a video solely on such a fascinating forgotten aspect of a popular game not discussed enough. Subbed and liked!

I’m fairly certain they had planned to bring vulture back in some way as well. There was a cutscene hinting at a return in the first movie game and you can even find his feathers in the second game on the Empire State Building (which is where the original boss fight took place.) Guess it was just another unfortunate cut.

Awesome video man. No tangents, no frills, no side tracks, simple and effective editting, almost completely informative. Subbed!

Make more videos in this style and your channel will be rocking in a few Months! 👏🏻👏🏻 i was surprised to see that you only have 65 subs! 😮

Tbh i think Lizard is the PERFECT villain for Spiderman 4 if tobey and raimi decide to do it. Dr Connors was a big side character in 2 and 3. And Dr Connors' actor has explicitly said he wants to be Lizard. Sam raimi can also make this the darkest movie, as he's one if the scariest villains in spidermans rogues gallery. Raimi can go all out with his horror roots and make Lizard petrifying. The plot wrotes itself tbh, we spent two movies with this character so i think its time he finally transforms. It'll even be really emotional since we know Dr Connors adores peter and his students and seeing him fall into a villain would give the story a ton of weight
