Thanks. I don't really know who I would want to play him, but for your question about the fish bowl, I think he looks pretty awesome in this pic:
In both cases, the Goblin kidnaps Spidey's loved one and takes them to the top of the bridge and throws them off. The only difference is that MJ lives because he jumps after, but Gwen dies because of the whiplash from the webbing.
I'm talking more about a visual standpoint, not a character one. Raimi pretty much used parts from the comic as his inspiration for those scenes, except he did it with MJ and kept her alive. He even used the Goblin's "death" as the inspiration for Norman's death in the film.
But think about it, that would get the greatest reactions from the audience and it could have a greater impact on some people.
No, no, a million times no. If Gwen's gonna die, which she shouldn't, as it's the sexist mysoginistic women in refrigerators trope at full force, BUT, if she dies, then she should die FOR A REASON, which should be to make Peter realize that he can't be with ANY WOMAN while he's Spider-Man, so NO MJ, NO "happy ending", NO HOPE AT ALL.
Yeah except you're choosing to ignore one little detail, that being THE INTERNET. Half the audience most likely googled Gwen Stacy, and now know about the whole thing. There's no REAL reason to do it.
Really? Cuz I asked all my cousins who saw it and all my friends who saw it and asked them if they knew who Gwen Stacy is and they all didn't know who she was and wondered why she was in it and where Mary Jane went. Also, there is a reason to do it. It is one of the best Spider-man stories and it would be squandered potential if she is still alive by the end of the trilogy. It changed Peter's life forever and I would like to see his life after her death.
Thank you
Well, everyone I know has either looked her up or asked me. And no, I mean, there's no purpose. What does killing Gwen accomplish? What's the point other than so comic book geeks can get their jolly's from it? It's a disgustingly sexist trope that needs to be put to an end NOW. A woman is not a tool to be used so a man can walk away 'wiser.' So, as I said in my 1st post, unless Peter's big lesson is that he must be alone and not be a selfish dick putting other women in danger, her death shouldn't, and doesn't need to, happen.
i don't think you truly understand the story and what it represented. It changed the comic industry... For all comics it was the loss of innocents. And is easily one of the most important stories in spideys mythos as well as the impact it had on the entire comic industry......ending the silverage
If Gwen is used as a tool to make Peter wiser then so was Ben. I guess that had no purpose as well because they made Ben into a tool. And no, it is not sexist at all. no more sexist than having MJ be the damsel in distress each time in the previous trilogy
They're both mysoginistic. One far more so than the other. With, ya know, the death and all. Ben is an origin story death. Basic origins can't be changed. Batman's parents always die, just like Superman's always sent from the near-destruction planet of Krypton, and just like Uncle Ben always dies. The very nature of the origin story is to be a tool to fascilitate the hero's journey. It's often tragic, but without it, there's no hero and thus, no journey. Gwen does not fall into that category.
both of them really have nothing to do with the fact that MJ/Gwen is a girl. The point of both of them id that it is someone close to Peter is in danger, which raises the stakes and makes it that much more tragic if he fails.
The Night Gwen Stacy Died is debatably the most important story of Spider-man outside of the origin story. Also, Gwen's death is arguably the most important death in Spider-man comics second only to Uncle Ben's death. Gwen's death is tragic and it makes Peter more responsible. Captain Stacy told Peter to stay away from her, but because he is young and in love he will be irresponsible he will still see her somewhat and she will be targeted by GG. If she dies, Peter will become more responsible and probably keep his secret identity more of a secret. Pretty much all that is speculation but you get the point. If done right, Gwen's death can serve a huge purpose in the trilogy.
