The Amazing Spider-Man The Gwen Stacy thread

1 thing i do know they better not make goblin the villain in the reboot

it is a reboot so make it a reboot

He'll eventually appear, but he shouldn't kick off the reboot.

 

[Project862006]

i wonder who can replace William Dafoe it will be some big shoes to fill actually majority of the new cast has some big shoes to fill other than MJ and Venom.

 

[Nathan]

Tobey's shoes aren't exactly big either. He was most of the time void of personality and has been crying countless times in the Movies.

 

[Crook]

Asides from Simmons, I really don't think any of the cast members left very big shoes to fill at all. They all did their jobs well enough, but I don't think it was to the point where they literally defined it in a manner where it'd be intimidating to take on.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

The only big shoes they have to feel are Rosemary Harris and JK Simmons in my opinion. Everyone else can be replaced with someone of equal or better quality.

 

[Crook]

Helen Mirren would wipe the floor with Rosemary "can't you hear that I'll die any moment?" Harris.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Helen ''Won't do it" Mirren? Yeah, sure, too bad, she'll never get the chance. Seriously..it won't happen.

i think Tobey is a great actor that is why i feel that way

 

[The Joker]

That's what they said to the people who wanted a reboot for the Spider-Man franchise. Never say never

The Batman movies attract some serious talent in Hollywood.

 

[Crook]

Yeah, all it really takes is a director with prestige and clout to attract the big-names.

 

[Nathan]

i think Tobey is a great actor that is why i feel that way

Maybe in other Movies, but as Peter Parker/Spider-Man he was just way too awkward.

 

[Project862006]

Helen Mirren is too stunning for Aunt May if that makes sense because in my opinion not that May is ugly but Helen is a beautiful older woman

just look at her compared to May

 

[Spider-Fan83]

I think, maybe, alil to early for the Gwen story...

I was actually wonder if it was still to early to try to reintroduce in at all, and was thinking, (since, they taking back to high school) maybe, start with someone like, Liz (or another potential love interest that hasn't been used, yet)

Though, I’d say if they wanted to do the Gwen story, definitely stretch it out on the course of a couple of movies (reintroducing her, and killing her all in one movie, would feel way too rushed)

Let's not stay in the past.

...and? Aunt May is basically just an old white-haired woman. A couple years give or take isn't gonna hurt anything. And Helen being an eye-pleaser is certainly not a negative. We've had the old-school grandma already. I'd rather go for a more contemporary mature female figure.

Gwen's been practically there from the beginning. She was with Peter during his high school years. I don't see it as being too early at all. It's the perfect time.

And Liz...meh. Building up Gwen's relationship with Peter yields much better results for the character and franchise.

 

[Project862006]

stay in the past please those pics are f'n horrible both look like men

 

[Nathan]

Of course they do.

 

[Rodrigo90]

No love triangle between Peter,Gwen and Liz.

Liz is Harry's GF and is friends with Peter. Peter has a crush on Liz's friend Gwen,but is basically saying "She would never go out with me". Gwen however confides in Liz that she fancies Pete and so Liz plays cupid.

Peter and Gwen should slowly develop throughout the movie,coming to a decision to lose their virginity soon. But that happens between 1 and 2. Peter so in love with Gwen decides to propose in 2,so it makes more hard for him when she eventually meets her fate at the hands of the villain.

But does it have to be Goblin that kills her?

 

[Dragon]

Most people in the audience will be experiencing just what people at the time of Gwen's death would. They won't know it's coming as well. The general audience probably thinks of Gwen Stacy as nothing more as that blonde girl in 3 or 4 scenes of Spider-Man 3.

If they adapted "The Death of Gwen Stacy" the audience would know about it. Just as the audience knew that Spidey 2 adapted "Spider-Man No More" and that Spidey 3 adapted the Black suit saga. These types of things tend to come out.

Uh no...the GA could give a rat's ass about what story arc the movie is being based around. Seriously? You really think the GA knows that stuff? They don't.

They just go to see Spider-Man in the theater and hope for a good movie. Comic fans like us? Sure, we'll know they are adapting a certain arc, but the more important GA? They won't know **** about what's coming for them.

And hell, Gwen's death is so iconic that I doubt many comic fans in the audiences would complain if EVERYTHING was lifted right from those panels in the arc, including dialogue and more, because it IS the MOMENT of Spider-Man comics.

 

[SuperFerret]

Honestly, I'd like to see a Peter Parker who gets to keep his Gwen Stacy.

We've seen that in the comics in what if stories before. It's not exactly a new concept.

 

[SuperFerret]

I'm talking about a non-What if? scenario, that lasts for a while. I mean, if we're going to ignore the source material in the first place, why not keep her alive?

 

[Jennifer Walters]

But are we going to ignore the source material really? Why ignore the source material on this one bit? When this one bit is the best Spider-Man story arc?

And what's the difference, he would just marry Gwen and have kids with her instead of Mary Jane and having kids. It's just interchangeable. I see no point in it.

 

[SuperFerret]

Well, if Gwen, Harry and MJ are going to meet Peter in High School, then that's a change from the source material, and it's a change that'll very likely happen, because I doubt that Peter pining after Liz Allen and dating Betty Brant would happen in these movies.

And who says that it's the best Spider-Man story arc? It's got a huge impact, and depicts a pivotal moment, but it's actually quite random in context, which I guess helps with believability, and it's a sad moment, a very tragic storyline. Spider-Man, for all his guilt, isn't a tragic figure. I'd say that the best Spider-Man story arcs are the ones that are light-hearted and fun, fully representative of the main character. No doubt that Gwen's death was important, and one of the better ones, but the best? I don't agree with that.

And I thought people didn't like Peter Parker crying or stories "about a girl".
