More Spiderman shit. I honestly can't get why this 40 year old man does give this much of a shit about this crap, but here we are.
Ok, first and foremost, Spiderman has been doing this "death of Gwen Stacy" reenact tons of times by now, not just on other media, but in the comics as well, and the reason on why they are probably doing a call back to that in this new Spiderman movie is because as popular as Spiderman is, the dirty secret is that he has few "iconic" moments that the even the normies can recognize.
Uncle Ben's death, Spiderman trapped under heavy machinery in the "If this be my destiny" story (which was used in that homecoming movie), "face it tiger you've just hit the jackpot" and Spiderman no more (this one being re-used to death)
So if these studios keep coming back to the same spots to drive hype amongst people, it ain't so much about "getting it" or not, but more so that Spiderman and capeshit in general is a tired genre with little space to go. Sure, the cinema sucess opened doors to a larger audience, but that doesn't mean these characters don't feel old and tired, because they are old and tired.
Second, please Robert stop with this "think about the little girls, they need Spider-Gwen for halloween costumes!" bullshit, I don't think you need to worry about girls being catered characters and products to spend they parents' money with, it doesn't have to be capeshit.
Also, Spider-Gwen ain't that popular, she started off as just a riff on the original spiderman on that crappy Spider-verse event, and what really called people's attention was the costume, which people went crazy making fanarts of. After that, none of the solo Spider Gwen (or ghost spider, stupid name) managed to take hold on it's own, and now Spider Gwen takes part of teams, like those Marver Rising animations no one watches, or being a support character that doesn't have much to do in that animated movie.
So drop the fucking histerics about killing Gwen Stacy, I would agree that she was never much of a character before, but she isn't much now either, and for the love of god stop using the "little girls!!!" as argument, leave the kids alone you creep, they like what they like, they don't need a fat 40 year old basement dweller to tell them what they like.
