Do you think Gwen Stacy will die in the Amazing Spider-Man movie franchise?

[KurtW95]

I'm pretty sure it was a joke

But why joke about it? I'm simply stating why I prefer Gwen, and I think fictional characters should be good role models for society and tell uplifting stories.

[Jake V]

I don't understand out that would make sense in response to my statement.

We've all had crushes on fictional characters. Mine was April O'Neil. Of course, I was 9 at the time.

[KurtW95]

It's a joke going by the way you're talking about Gwen Stacy. You're coming across as a real life Miles Warren. (Stop trying to clone yourself a real Gwen!)

Says the guy obsessed with Mary Jane. Also, my comment above applies to yours too.
And I want her with Peter. Not me. *facepalm*

Damn, you totally figured me out. I must have my own real life Mary Jane, who calls me "tiger" all the time and who breaks up with me and gets back with me again and again.

And I want her with Peter. Not me. *facepalm*

Peter is an audience surrogate character. The "everyman." He's the guy who could be you.

So you're saying that he's jealous of Peter Parker? Lol

April was on my list. then again, so were the Baroness and Doctor Blight. i found her scar kind of sexy.

I thought selling his marriage to mephisto was his greatest failure

It's like this:
Ben's death is Peter's greatest failure.
Gwen's death is Spider-man's greatest failure.
MJ and Peter's divorce is Quesada's greatest failure.
:B *keeps catching up with the thread*

Actually it did. If anything, her death meant more than Uncle Ben's. Uncle Ben's death was indirectly caused by Peter's inaction, whereas his life as Spider-Man was directly the cause of Gwen's death. It's incredibly important to his mythos, and represented a tonal shift in the industry as a whole.

Her death was I think more important than Uncle Ben's because of what it showed. It showed us that superheroes do make mistakes. Peter should've acted differently but he took action against a horror. It's his fault she died. And that guilt is such an important part of the character, that it continues to define who he is and what the superhero community as a whole is. Uncle Ben was just the start of everything. Gwen's death is so important.

[Darman456]

In some ways, yes, in other ways, obviously not.

It's pretty obvious that you'll never change your mind, which is perfectly fine, but now I'm done arguing this point.

If he loves Gwen and wants her in the comics so much, I think he might really like the Ultimate Comics, where Gwen is a live and well. But, Peter's dead, so I don't know how much of a trade-off that would be...

[Darman456]

Let's see. She's supportive of Peter. She and Peter match up on an intellectual level and have similar senses of integrity which will make Peter happier. Even with the Parker luck, he needs something important to him. She is a strong character and fun to read about. I enjoy her banter with Peter. If she finds out Peter's secret, she could help him develop new technology to defeat his villains. She could be out to clear her name after the business with the Osborn twins and track down her many clones. She could settle her score with Norman and the Jackal. And lastly, since Aunt May is now living in another state with Jameson Sr., Peter needs somebody to worry about other than himself and to constantly check up on.

(Also, I'd rather read an uplifting story than a depressing story. Conway (a 21 year old guy at the time) had the right to kill off the Punisher's family because he created the character as a depressing antihero. He in no way should have done that to Spider-Man)

Case and point (or in point, whatever) MJ in a nutshell. Except for the intellectual level perhaps...

Come on. None of what I wrote remotely described MJ.

Errm...yes. MJ has very good dialect. She's not as slutty as you make her out to be...though she does have some of that attractional way of doing things, sure. Just saying, MJ and Gwen aren't really all that different. At least not the originals. The ones in the Ultimate Universe were very differentiated. MJ was introduced only about a year after Gwen. They were both made in the sixties, where the women pretty much had the same personality, although some were smarter than others (Gwen over MJ, clearly). You can't really deviate from a personality that's set. You can dwelve deeper but most personalities stay the same. So, I do believe that the original Gwen and MJ are close.

That is very well said.
I'm curious about this movie.
Only know Gwen from Spectacular Spidey.
I personally don't really care with who Peter is as long as it's handled well.
And Spidey's persona is done right.

MJ was introduced sooner, just because I can't see her face doesn't mean I haven't been introduced.

Didn't she say a few faceless words to Betty brant and liz Allen in the early years or did they just see her leave Peter's and get Jealous
