how did she end up paralyzed?


because of the venom or the fall? went through the currently 6 pages and no one seems to have mentioned this.

I'll be honest I've never heard of Madame Web before the movie even though I am slightly into comics.

She saw the movie in the future and that's what blinded her.

Or she got a firework blast to the face when she was in the water.

As for the paralysis, she broke her back when she fell into the water.

yea no, this I got. It was obvious, happened when she fell into the water.

I realized after writing my OP, but I didn't want to edit it to see what people will say. That's the whole reason her mother was looking for the Aranas, her genetic defect: myasthenia gravis
I think

She never had her own series or anything. She was a side character who mostly showed up every now and then to help Spider-Man solve crimes. She had a larger and much cooler role in the Spider-Man cartoon in the 90s. Anyway, even comic fans were curious why they woukd make a movie about her.

I was shocked to see it myself. I thought she just fell to water and they got her out for happy ending. And then she appeared in chair, blind and happy like it's nothing. LOL.

How on earth they expected people to like it and see sequel? They only did it because it was like that in comics. And there she was like that from birth. She is very old on comics also. They really should have just ignored that fact in their movie.

Cassandra Webb was born in Salem, Oregon. She is a paralyzed, blind, telepathic, clairvoyant, and precognitive mutant, allowing her to work as a professional medium. She was stricken with myasthenia gravis and was connected to a life support system designed by her husband Jonathan Webb, which included a series of tubes shaped like a spider-web.

She got crippled fast and based on all the violence leading up to that point, you'd think she'd just need some Voltaren and a Tylenol but nope, blind and in a chair. Ugh.

I just watched this abomination tonight. I can see how she was blinded, by the firework crap that went to her eyes. But I have no idea how she became paralysed. It just happened and she seemed pretty happy about it. This movie is the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. What the hell did I just subject myself to.
