The Amazing Spider-Man When and how should Gwen Stacy die?

[Ultra Ham]

I would say the third movie if a fourth movie was certain and released not too log afterwards, although that's not something you can rely on. The second film does give it that "Empire Strikes Back deal" where you can get away with it being depressing but have the hope of a happy resolution in the end of the trilogy.

So even though I feel Gwen dying in the third would be the ideal, it's not that realistic. I don't know though, if they do have her death in the sequel, they have a lot to do in that movie like introducing MJ, Norman and building Gwen's death up so that it actually has meaning. If they realistically can make it a quadrilogy then the third movie is best, I'd prefer it happening in the third but otherwise the second film is best.

What I meant was that they re-signed on.



It would be more natural in a new film than in a flash forward because it would be a new story, and not an epilogue to the story of Gwen's death.

Think about it like this,

Are they realistically going to be able to set up Norman's character, his tests on himself, his fall into insanity and the death of Gwen Stacy, all in one movie without it feeling rushed? If they can do it, I don't see any reason not to.

But unless the part you're talking about in the second movie is actually set 2 years (or longer) after her death, it would be the same as skipping forward a few months, years, to MJ's appearance in the third movie.

We need time to see the aftermath of Gwen's death and how it impacts Parker's life.

We also need some time to develop Mary Jane's relationship with Parker. So it's better to kill Gwen in movie 2 and introduce MJ in movie 3. That way you see Parker deal with Gwen's death by himself then see him movie forward with another relationship.

But you need both, not just Parker meeting MJ after Gwen dies.

Which would mean ending the movie on a sad note. Which I'm okay with.

Nah, introduce MJ before Gwen dies. Just follow the Spectacular Spider-man model.

This would be a lot better. That way she's already there and in Peter's life before Gwen's death.

I like your idea as well.

 

[Troy_Parker]

Soo... right, if they go with having her dead in the second movie. Is it going to be like, first hour consists of Norman's tests, fall into insanity, and the second hour consisting of his kidnapping of Gwen which leads to... etc, blah, blah?

Or do you guys not want to see the Green Goblin's character develop, and have him remain a mysterious villain?

 

[Anno_Domini]

I would love to get six films if Webb makes a great trilogy, but...with how Sony interfered with Raimi, I could see the same happening with this new series and Webb could walk off as well. For one, he may heave learned from Raimi's mistakes and not let the studio even screw them up once.

Exactly, that's why I say the 2nd installment is where you have the crucial overlap. Introduce MJ early on in that one to lay the foundation of the sorta odd-couple friendship she develops with Peter while he's still crazy about Gwen (neither Peter nor MJ should have romantic interest in each other at that point - MJ's the snarky party girl not really looking for love, and Peter's genuinely in love with Gwen). Then kill Gwen at the end of that film, and wait to have Peter and MJ's friendship transition into romance in the 3rd installment.

Agreed, and what I have stated as wanting too, but... MJ should have eyes for Peter too.

I definitely want the Green Goblin to do this eventually. Nobody ever said that this reboot would turn into a trilogy. Something tells me that Marc Webb and Sony are really confident in what they're bringing to us, and so far, their current product is satisfying a lot of us. Because we can't hate quipping Spider-Man shooting out his webs like he's sneezing, among other amazing things.

If they kill Gwen in the third, they can't end it there. Crying in Mary Jane's arms is not a really satisfying way to close out Peter Parker's story. I think that if Oscorp has a really shady background with the Parker family, then Peter will have a pretty big battle ahead of him when Norman steps into the picture. That battle can't end on a depressing note.

Even though the 3rd appeals to me more (why the heck I chose the 2nd?!?), I am fine with both.

If it's in the 2nd, then they should spend more time on developing both Osborns and MJ, as these will have a great impact on the life of Peter afterwards. I also wonder what villain they will choose for the third film. Hopefully it won't be someone we already have seen on the big screen.

If it's in the 3rd, then I hope they will include a sort of epilogue after Gwen's death, showing how Peter learns probably the last life lesson and finally being able to accept his role and live with it. I also think it will be a good idea, if they make a hint about his friendship with MJ getting closer after the death of Gwen. But, I believe he should stay single in the end.

 

[Troy_Parker]

If the 3rd one is going to be the final one csad... then I want to see a happy ending. Have Peter finally get over Gwen, and be with MJ.

 

[Lord]

Mary Jane should be introduced in the 2nd movie while Gwen is still alive

 

[Billy the Poet]

Agreed, it's very important for both Osborns and MJ to appear in the second movie, whetehr Gwen dies in it or the next one.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

I say make it happen in move 2 or movie 3. Mainly movie 2.

Introduce MJ in the next one, btw.

 

[Lord]

Yeah kill the main girl, right in the next film a new one appears out of nowhere, i think that she should die in the 3rd film, introducing mary jane in the 2nd one, if captain stacy really dies in the amazzing spider-man movie 1 then it would be quite too many important deaths in 2 movies: Uncle Ben, Captain Stacy, Gwen Stacy and possibly norman.
Sincerelly i think that in a 3rd movie they could have her death and peter confronting green goblin again and they could have the last 15-20 mins or so as an epilogue where he tries to continue his life and discovers Mary Jane isn't just a party girl, it wouldn't start their relationship, that should be explored in later films if they got the chance, i think something like this could be a very strong ending to the trilogy

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ I guess that could work.

 

[©KAW]

I seriously doubt they'll put Green Goblin (killing Gwen) in the 2nd film, that's really pushing it after 3 films with the Goblin.

Somebody is going to be very disappointed.

 

[Troy_Parker]

It will be 7 years since the last on screen Goblin, and 15 since the Green Goblin in Spider-Man. (if it's in TASM 2)

They can use the Goblin again. They will. It's like having a Batman movie without The Joker being introduced at some point, you can do it, but it doesn't make too much sense.

The fact that they used the Goblin's in the previous trilogy means nothing. They had the origin in the previous trilogy, they're still doing it again.

Sony announced TASM2 to be planned for the release in 2014. Spider-Man 1 was released in 2002, which makes it 12 years.

I still think they will want to work with new villains for a sequel and take more time to develop the importance of Obsorn (his potential to become th Goblin) and reinforce the image of Gwen as Peter's love interest.

Even at the Con Webb was talking about how Stacy is important in Spidey's mythology. I am not sureprised if he devotes the entire trilogy to Gwen-Peter relationship.

 

[November Rain]

she shouldn't die till marvel has the series
