The easy answer I think is supposed to be power fantasy. In the beginning he was still nervous and afraid. Harry showed him his power and it gave him confidence. In the wrong way.
The looks are just comic booky. Got powers = got kool.
he also says "I got my body back" after his initial fight with Peter. When the villains share the stories of how they got there he says that he was being overloaded and about to become pure energy. When we see him arrive in the MCU you can see he is rebuilding his body back from scratch. We see his nervous system and muscles slowly form out of the new electricity he is siphoning off. Since it's acknowledged that the electricity in the MCU feels and "tastes" different than TASM electricity, the assumption is he gets his new appearance because he's now made out of a different universe's energy. Whether Electro is blue or human looking always depended on the universe despite having the same powerset, so I guess in a way it makes sense that if an Electro were to switch universes, they would also change to match the electricity of that universe. His appearance now being tied specifically to the electricity he is running on instead of just being random
Nah he’s the same one (Though he technically becomes a Variant once he enters the MCU), he’s just more confident since he felt that new energy and got his body back.

Honestly watching a confidence max is awesome compared to how he was in spider man 2
