  To be honest. I loved Emma Stone as Gwen Stacey. I first saw her appearance in Superbad and Easy A and I thought she was going to turn Gwen into a total cheesy party girl character but I was wrong. She did amazing. But staying true to the comics is one of the best things to do. Look at Iron Man 3. Yes it is making lots of $$$ but that doesn't change the fact that most of it's reviews turned out to be bad. I saw it, it was bad. Why? Because they didn't stay true to the comics! The Mandarin is one of the best villains in Comic Book history and they completely messed him up. The point is, I'm sure a large amount of the fan base would love to see Gwen's death on the big screen. I know I would. Gwen's death was one of the best moments in comic history. There's nothing better than sticking the original story.

  Keeping Gwen Alive will help support the two upcoming films all the way to the end. I would like to see peter get married to her for a change.

  The comic books suck. I'd think about what other people and fans would want instead a bunch of violent comics if I were making this film. If Gwen dies then me and other spider man fans would stop paying attention to it, But if she survives this film and the next one then the spider man series and new stories will continue on happily.

  all of you are saps!!!! they have to kill off gwen stacy stay true to the comics if they dont i aint watchin it its just a dam character !!!!!

  Don't kill gwen!!!!!!!

• Raph | March 30, 2013 6:47 PMReply

  Also, the amount of people who were saddened by Gwen's death and want her to come back compared to the amount of people that like Mary Jane, Wouldn't it make more sense to kill Mary Jane rather Gwen?

  If they kill Gwen Stacy, Marvel will receive another dramatic fall in Spider-Man fans.
  Marc Webb should do a 'Nolan' and bend the storyline into something bigger and better.
  I also prefer Gwen than MJ because in a way, Mary Jane took advantage of a grief-stricken Peter and married him. Also, Gwen in both film and comics, is supposed to be considered more attractive than Mary Jane

  I hope all this bridge stuff happen, because of the comic books, but I hope after ALMOST killing her, they find a way to save her and then she doesn't dies and I don't have to stand annoying Mary Jane again :D we all win

  I love Emma Stone as an actress, watching her and Andrew is a delight. But, they have to stay true to the Comic. Gwens Death willl be an incredible and emotional scene to watch that I myself am looking forward too, despite how much I don't want her character to die. I don't like the idea that Shailene Woodley is playing Mary Jane though... I just don't think she suits the part very well in my opinion.

• harrison | February 23, 2013 10:26 PM

  When the comic did this though, it was considered the end of the silver age of comics, I like the character of Gwen's way too much, to see her killed off as a scheme to rack in big bucks would be terrible.

• andria | January 9, 2013 1:41 AMReply

  i think that they should not kill gwen stacy at all change the comic because the story line is better

• JaM | January 7, 2013 4:07 AMReply

  Personally, i don't want Gwen to be killed off that soon.. at least not in next film.. but if they do it, i at least hope for heartbreaking scene that would be memorized by all.. Emma is excellent actress and they have great chemistry with Andrew. I believe those two can make this scene something special and unforgeable especially with Mark Webb as a director..

• ANDREW | January 6, 2013 6:34 AMReply

  NOOOOOOO. Do not kill Gwen Stacy! Garfield and Emma have such good chemistry on-screen and even off-screen! Seeing her killed would be a devastation to the reboot trilogy! Although I grew up with Mary Jane, it would be better to see this developed character portrayed by a skilful actress, still in the game!

• The Fixer | January 4, 2013 10:16 PMReply

  Problem: Gwen Stacy dies in the comic and she needs to die in order to stay true to the story line.
  Solution: Kill off Mary Jane Watson and Let Gwen Stacy live.

• Exactly | May 25, 2013 5:54 PM

  THAT WAS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING :D

• Harrison | February 23, 2013 10:27 PM

  I hope they do this ohhh i hope

• That one nerdy girl | January 1, 2013 8:19 PMReply

  I really think they should stay true to the comic. I mean I love Emma Stone and I love Spiderman and Gwen in the first movie, it's adorable, but in order for them to really build on the whole Peter and Mary Jane marriage it must be done. Though I don't think Shailene Woodley should play Mary Jane, noway! They Should have just kept Emma Stone for a later movie becuase she would have made a perfect Mary Jane. :(

• me | December 29, 2012 11:17 PMReply

  THEY CAN'T LET GWEN DIE!!!!! i've become so attached to her in the first movie and the thought of her being gone makes me not even want to see the second one! Peter had gone threw so many tragedies all ready so the new movie should just be about him learning about his past, finding himself, and being spider man threw it all. It would be great to see gwen and peter grow together throughout the movie also, THEY HAVE TO KEEP HER IN!!!!

• pororo | December 27, 2012 12:52 PMReply

  do not kill gwen stacey! people watch the show beacuse of her if u kill her at least make emma stone as mj as a twist and she meet peter parker somewhere.

• simon | December 10, 2012 9:09 PMReply

  They should keep gwen stacey alive because she was a big impact in the film, we have seen to much of mj in the old trilogy and they should try something different this time, there is such a good storyline in the new film and shouldn't ruin it. I personaly think t that they should keep gwen stacey alive in the trilogy

• joel | November 27, 2012 5:59 AMReply

  I hate the fact that our opinions will hit deaf ears because
  Whatever they're gonna do its already been decided on
  But I believe gwen should not be killed Emma's scenes are what
  Held the movie together and her character hits all over Mary Jane like if she dies the audience will be too invested in there romance to worry about some red headed skank . Raimi's Spiderman showed mj so let the new one focus on gwen ....most audience members would not have even read that issue of Spiderman that kills off gwen ....the movie would be much more appealing to non readers of the source material ....if I wanted to watch a guy lose his girlfriend and his uncle prematurely by his own actions I'd go watch a drama ....I mean sure dangle gwen in danger for suspence but don't follow through .....mj should just date flash and that's it

• Erica | November 23, 2012 11:34 PMReply

  I have become too emotionally invested in Gwen Stacy and Emma Stone so I realllyyyyyy don't want Stacy 2 die. Stacy is smart, active and kinda a shy girl next door. I like how her personality is so real and not just some damsel in distress. Unlike, Mary Jane whose always calling for help and is basically boring. I've never liked Mary Jane and hate Wodley even more , especially since she's a HORRIBLE actress!

• Sav | November 13, 2012 7:01 PMReply

  Shailene Woodley as MJ though? Staying true to the comic books is a great idea but they should cast an actress as good as Emma stone so people will actually enjoy watching after they kill Gwen off.

• Steve | November 9, 2012 8:44 AMReply

  Actually, Green Goblin threw her off of the George Washington Bridge. Not the Brooklyn Bridge.

• D | November 5, 2012 6:54 PMReply

  Well i did hope that they actually let Gwen staying alive cuz she is one of my favorite characters in marvel history. And like many others im not a huge fan of MJ. Even i think it was a really good plot twist let the main charecters girl friend die. this story will always make me cry hard inside. :'(

• Siege | November 2, 2012 12:48 AMReply

  Two trilogies. The first ending in Gwen's death, which Peter blames on himself. (They could come up with something totally original in how she dies.) The second would focus on Peter going through all the steps of grieving, and how it affects him as Peter and as Spider-Man. So much potential.
  
  As long as they don't introduce Gwen and Norman Osborn's love children. *gack*
  
  The film people who adapt Marvel properties aren't the only ones that screw things up. Marvel does enough of that one their own. And then try to subtly fix their mistakes with a sledgehammer.
  
  Anyhoo...

• Josh | October 21, 2012 12:38 AMReply

  I knew they were going to do the "Death of Gwen Stacy" story a long time ago when they announced that she was his love interest in this movie. I knew that they were going to bring Mary Jane and Green Goblin back in this series. Raimi's Spider-Man was whack. And the "Amazing" series will be leaps and bounds better with their trilogy. Case in point the first one was way better that Raimi's 1st Spider-Man. This new trilogy has potential to create one of the best hero movie or just movie period made if they do the Death of Gwen Stacy story.

• Lane | October 20, 2012 5:37 PMReply

  I never liked Mary Jane, I still don't.

• HombreGato | October 20, 2012 8:40 AMReply

  When you say "We're doing a Gwen Stacy story", the audience wonders if she'll be killed off, when you say "We're doing the death of Gwen Stacy", the audience loses all opportunity to question her fate, when you say "We're doing the specific take on the death of Gwen Stacy where Spider-Man finds out that the whiplash from his Spider-Web broke her neck" there's no fucking point to even seeing this movie anymore.
  
  Please respect the spoiler warning. This kind of thing is why I stopped reading reviews and websites for many years.

• Tom | October 19, 2012 3:32 PMReply

  I was so hoping that they'd kill her off, but it's kind of a let down knowing they're going to do it four or five years before we even see the third movie.

• Great Scott! | October 19, 2012 2:05 PMReply

  Do it. That is, if you want me to stay interested in the franchise after this year's unnecessary rehash.

• Cde. | October 19, 2012 12:18 PMReply

  Sure, why not? This would be very interesting for a superhero blockbuster. It's called for after the boring safeness of the last film.

• M. | October 19, 2012 1:05 PM

  But of course, you're right - I'm simply bemoaning to see what works in a film being killed off, even when it's to be expected from the original story. Then again, following the story isn't what I'd regard necessarily taking a risk(i.e.: making a very good film), so it would seem the real problem with the film still awaits being addressed.

• M. | October 19, 2012 12:48 PM

  I wouldn't want to regard the latest Spider-Man film being risk-taking, let alone being particularly good, but one of the elements that glued it together was, to my mind, Ms. Stone's whole presence. Perhaps this could be the incentive on the part of Sony to have something at stake, but if so I'd rather have they kill her off quickly and let it be the fuel for the protagonist and further destabilize what's to come - so long they're able to act upon it and show something more than that; surely killing off Stacey is not enough.

• M. | October 19, 2012 12:12 PMReply

  Ms. Stone is a small wonder in THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, and now Sony are planning to kill off her character? How about not only sawing off the branch they're sitting on, but the whole tree the carries it?! And thinking one had to sit through three Spider-man films featuring Ms. Dunst; they could've easily made her "disappear during the first one without my disapproval...

• kitcon | October 19, 2012 11:32 AMReply

  No, No, No. Stone and Garfield's time together onscreen were the best parts of the film. The rest was wildly uneven. If Sony kills Gwen Stacy they'll effectively kill a large chunk of the audience's interest. People are already invested in the Stacy-Parker romance. If this were a TV series it could work but for not for a trilogy no matter how good Woodley turns out to be.
