Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Marc Webb
Starring: Jamie Foxx, Sally Field, Emma Stone, Andrew Garfield, Dane DeHaan
Peter learns his father used his own blood to modify spiders, and only people in his bloodline can be enhanced properly. Harry is injected with venom extracted from the modified spiders. Gwen and Peter make up. They overload Electro, who appears to explode and vanish. Harry arrives wearing combat weaponry and deduces that Peter is Spider-Man. During the ensuing fight, Gwen falls. Peter shoots a web to save her but she dies either from the kickback from the web or her head hitting the ground. Harry is held in Ravencroft and hatches plans to form the Sinister Six with Gustav Fiers. After finally listening to Gwen's graduation speech, Peter decides to come back as Spider-Man.

Answer: Peter didn't set out to kill Electro, but he has to stop him somehow. Overloading him is pretty much all Peter has to work with in terms of stopping Electro's rampage. He doesn't know what effect it will have on his opponent, but he hopes that it will serve to stop him in his tracks, which it does. Had Peter set out with the specific intention of killing Max, that would indeed have been wildly out of character, but he didn't - he simply did what he had to do to stop him. It's unlikely that Max is actually dead anyway; it's well known that Sony intend to bring the Sinister Six into play in upcoming movies and Electro has been a key member of most incarnations of that team, making it highly likely that he'll be back.
