Well, ultimately, the Beck rumor is immaterial to the point I was responding to.
Rated-X was trying to debunk the Script Summary by saying it said Campbell was Mysterio which it doesn't. Something he read and is assuming is the script summary might have said this, but the actual Script Summary makes no mention of Campbell, (Since its only a description of the story and has nothing to do with casting) Beck or Mysterio.
But speaking to a larger point- this Gwen at the final battle thing is turning into another "Sandman as killer" debate.
What's the problem if she IS there? How does anyone know its going to hurt the story or won't make sense? Since no one here has a DETAILED knowledge of the storyline no one knows whether it will work or not.
And honestly- from what I understand of the story, it probably wouldn't make sense for her NOT to be there.
1. She's meant to be a major character in the franchise.
2. For Eddie- especially if he dies, she needs to be there for closure.
3. If she's going to be a part of Peter/Spidey's world, she needs to get her feet wet as to what that means. Which unfortunately in this franchise means always being a hostage.
