Continuity mistake: When the one of the cups of coffee falls off the table Peter catches it. After that, Peter takes the other cup from the desk to give Dr. Connors. In the first shot Peter carries the cup from the upper part, next shot the cup is on his palm.

Continuity mistake: When Peter asks Flash to stop bullying the other student in the outdoor eating area, right before Flash punches Peter, Peter is carrying his camera on a strap on his right shoulder. As the shot changes to Flash punching Peter, the camera strap disappears before Peter even gets hit and falls to the ground. Later we find Peter's camera smashed on the ground next to his backpack and skateboard.

Continuity mistake: At the deli, when the cops have shot down the Lizard, watch the back part of the robe, where the bag strap is: It swaps from a big open hole, to being split in two big sizes, to split in a big and a small size hole; all in a matter of frames, no sense whatsoever.

Continuity mistake: Just when Peter tries the web launcher the tables and chairs on the street change number and position through shots: They are arranged parallel to each other and have the following amount of chairs: First table has 3 chairs, second 2, third 1 and fourth 2. In the close-up, all tables have 2 chairs; the first three tables are parallel, yet a fourth one is behind the third table. Peter also knocks down a table or chair which appears standing in the final shot.

Question: When Dr Connor (Lizard Man) is planning to turn everyone in the city into lizards, what are people going to do when they're lizards? Are they still going to continue their lifestyle, still eat human food, and do other hobbies and activities that humans do?

Trainman

Answer: Connors believes that humans are too weak and flawed, and that if he transforms them all, he'll create a better, smarter and more powerful species. Presumably, given his motivations are to "improve" humanity, he also believes that society itself will also evolve into something "better" (even possibly utopian) once everyone has transformed. As for all the minutiae like what people will eat, hobbies, etc.? I don't think Connors has really thought about that. His obsession is very surface level, and basically starts and ends at "If I turn people into powerful hybrid beings, everything will be better!" Realistically? There'd probably just be a lot of panic and chaos, a lot of people might hurt or kill themselves when they realise they've changed into another species, and society would probably collapse for a while before slowly rebuilding itself over the course of years.
