I agree with you. At this point, bringing Gwen back will be about the least of problems they've created. Her death has no meaning at this point anyway with Osborn alive and Peter never avenging her death.

The only problem is, that the writers in Marvel's staff are idiots. Beyond the drama of her return and how it would affect Peter's life/marriage etc. They'll quickly run out of ideas. They won't know how to deal with an actual relationship.

If you look at the Peter/MJ thread with all the postings of the relationship over the last 20 + years, you see a funny, yet sad thing- Peter & MJ have the same f-ing conversation over and over. "I love you because.." "I'm worried about you-" "I can take care of myself..blah-blah" aside from apparently sex, and leaning on each other during/after a crisis- these two have no relationship at all.

Unfortunately, the same would happen with Gwen if they re-united her and Peter. Unless these dumb-asses actually decide to envision Gwen (And Peter for that matter) as actual people, and not merely 2-dimensional characters on the page of a superhero comic (Which is the big problem), there'll be nothing.
In that case, she should stay dead. And Peter & MJ should follow.

Agree 100%

Marvel gives me problems so many problems in defending Gwen when they keep literally digging her up and dangling her like a chew toy. As much as I believe she and Peter were for one another, etc. etc., it's hard to keep debating with that point if she's becoming a nusiance and shoved in everything that they think she might be able to fit in. It's that over-exposure that takes good ideas and knock them over the edge. To bring back Gwen Stacy is a horrible idea, one that would serve no purpose, other than like a fire cracker, giving sparks and burning out just as quickly. I can't see them using her for anything more than that.

She shouldn't.

The end.

What DD said!!...."Dead is Dead Dammit!!....Retcon Sins Past and let Gwen Stacy rest in Peace!!

...sadly we all know that aint going to happen.....and the only real way around the sudden emergence of Gwen Stacy is if the original thrown off the bridge was a clone...(Per Dragon)..and if that's the case, Norman Osborn strikes another stake through the heart of Peter Parker and although I'm a huge Gobby fan, enough is enough!!

I'd like to use Gwen Stacy.

You know... as I'm reading this thread, a horrible thought came to mind.

What if Gwen never really died in the first place (ala Norman), and somehow simply went into hiding somewhere because she had to get away from all that Spider-Man craziness in her life (ie, Spidey responsible for her father's death, the Green Goblin attack, Pete's weird relationship with Spidey via the photos, etc...) She just needed to move on and sacrificed her love of Pete because the Spectre of Spider-Man was simply too much for her mind to handle. So she just goes away.

So here we are... about 7 years later after her "death", Pete reveals himself to be Spider-Man on television.

If she were indeed "still alive" living incognito, that revelation alone might bring her back to confront him.

Of course, Marvel would have to explain how she survived her "death".

BLASPHEMY~!

She needs to stay dead in 616.

However her death in USM was lame so her coming back would be cool.

BLASPHEMY~!

We've seen worse come from Marvel...

Not much, not much. She has been dead roughly 9 or 10 years comics time. Let her stay that way now.

I agree she needs to stay dead, but as Dragon has pointed out, she would be one of the easier 'dead' characters to ressurect. I mean Bucky's death seemed pretty final - but he's back.

BTW- is the Clone Gwen actually dead? or still alive in parts unknown?

 

[DACrowe]

Woah, woah, woah Bucky's back?! When did I miss this now?

Last I remember, Clone Gwen left and was never heard from again. Though I might be confusing parts of the story, so I'm not too sure.
