Why I feel Sony is going to change Gwen's death

Why I feel Sony is going to change Gwen's death

A theory that I have from previous rumors about Gwen's death being in the middle of TASM 2 and that someone else does the deed as well as how that will turn fans off completely.

A bad feeling came over me one night as I was thinking about TASM 2. What if Gwen Stacy died in the middle of the movie and someone else kills her besides the Green Goblin, maybe Electro.After that thought came to me I automatically got pissed off. Because I love the story arc in the comics and I do believe this is one of the reasons that she was introduced in this new franchise. Also, I know what hollywood is capable of and that is always finding a way to go a different route for no apparent reason and to find themselves in a ditch. My theory is a simple one and it has to do with money.

My theory is that Emma Stone is contracted for 2 movies, TASM 1 and TASM 2.They cannot do a cliffhanger at the end of TASN 2 with Gwen's death because she would have to be in TASM 3. So Sony figured lets kill her in the middle of the movie so we won't have to pay her screen time or for part 3. The more screen time you got the more you get paid.
Anyway, that is one theory which I feel if it is true than it is lame and it will mess up the famous story arc that alot of people wanted to see on screen. Now Marc Webb has teased that the George Washington bridge and such, so I feel she is going to die on the bridge, but if they get someone other than a Goblin doing it then I think Marc Webb and Sony just spit in the face of the fans.

It's just a bad feeling I have and it's something that we need to be prepared for. I think they are going the Spectacular Spiderman route and they just may go ahead and let Harry kill Gwen as the Green Goblin. That's oool and everything, but Norman did it in the comics, keep it as Norman Osborn being the killer. The only scenario I see Gwen dieing in the middle of the movie is that the Green Goblin is already a menace and everyone is trying to figure out who he is, when he will strike next, and the next victim happens to be Gwen.That is the only scenario that I see. Electro and Rhino are just experiments from Oscorp that cause problems.

I want Norman to kill Gwen, but if this rumor is true about her dieing in the middle of the movie by someone else's hand which was reported by someone on this site, then I think I would be finish with Comic book movies .Spiderman is my favorite and the Goblin/Gwen story is my favorite.
I can stomach Harry doing it, more than Electro or Rhino doing it.But I see no reason to change it. Norman Osborn is the original Green Goblin and Spiderman's arch enemy , not Harry Osborn. So I am assuming that Norman Osborn is not sick anymore and is well in the begining of Tasm 2 and that he does secret Goblin killings at night or in his spare time sorta like a Werewolf when the full moon hits, and wakes up and doesn't know what he did. I hope it is that.

But as fans we need to be prepared for this, because Iron man fans were not prepared for the things that happened in Iron man 3 nor did they believe Marvel had the audacity to do them.

Guard your heart and be prepared.

Rhino killing Gwen ? Now, that would suck. Big time.
Electro killing Gwen ? No sir.
Harry ? Hell no.

Emma Stone didn't make 12.5 million nor did Garfield only make 2.5 million. That's information that was pulled out of your ass MrSpock.

Google it? Really? Google it? First Emma made 12.5 million now she only made 2.5 million while Andrew only made on million. You have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. No wonder why most of your articles never make main.

@RidiculousFanBoyDemands
You're one to talk. You've made some pretty terrible articles. MrSpock's articles may not make main, but they report quality information.
@SpidaTrav
No offense, but don't forget to proof read before you publish an article. Also, adding a little bit more to your articles would make them much better. It doesn't make sense that you already said that Gwen might be killed by Electro, but still tried to give a spoiler warning when you already said most of the spoiled content (even in that same comment, no less).
@MrSpock
Make sure you have all your facts together before you use them to prove a point to someone else. You will easily fall prey to those you are attempting to disprove.

I agree with LEVITIKUZ. I think we're underestimating how dark they're going to make Electro. We already know he has an obsession with Spidey, so I don't see why it isn't possible for him to kill Gwen out of anger.

Mr. Spock I rarely write articles. I think I've written seven of them the two years I've been on this site. Two have made main. The way I see it my percentage is 28% which is much higher than yours.

I don't use this site to write articles, I don't care. The only time I do it's either ask a question, or start a discussion. My articles do receive more comments than yours though.

She won't die until the third movie. This trilogy is designed as "spideys parents/Gwen Stacy" era. I believe she will die in the third one by Green Goblin, and Venom will also be in the movie.

MY concern is that this movie will be ultimately pointless. That he won't REALLY discover any new information about his parents (at least not until the end as a cliffhanger, which would be just as bad), that it'll basically just be used to introduce new characters. If Sony is smart Peter will find out something about his parents in the middle of the movie, that would totally rock his world. And dammit, I wanna know who Michael Masses character is. Rhys Ifans said its not Osbourne.
This movie should have been Electro/Mysterio instead of Electro/Rhino.

Ok, alot of comic book fans need to seriously get over the whole "the movies have to follow the comics step-by-step" idea. Other than having the same characters and basically the same interactions among them, and the same general themes, I would really rather that the writers of the movies come up with new ideas. Unless they decide to give Superman an entirely new love interest instead of Lois Lane or Lana Lang, I don't care if they follow the comics exactly. The best comic book movies have a mix of stuff from the comics along with new ideas. I don't really care who kills Gwen Stacy. In fact, it wouldn't bother me if they kept her alive and introduced a love triangle between her, Peter, and MJ. It might be more surprising to fans, and more heart-wrenching, to kill off Aunt May. Or MJ. It seems like alot of you comic fans just want to see the comics brought to life as is. That's not going to sell enough tickets to keep these movie franchises alive, because a large portion of the people going to see these films don't know the comics that well and don't really care if they follow the comics that closely or not. Only diehard fanboys whine about this stuff-the success of some movies that ya'll seem to hate proves that. Get over it.

I don't think its gonna be anyone but Norman (pre-Goblin)who kills Gwen.

In fact, this is what I think (although i have NO IDEA why...)

Gwen is snooping around and finds something at Oscorp, Norman discovers her and tosses her out a window.

Basically exactly like the scene from "Batman Returns" more or less with Selina Kyle/Max Shreck only with Gwen/Norman.

Biggest difference though, where Selina gets better, Gwen just gets dead.

If they went the "Ultimate" route, it would be a version of Carnage that kills Gwen, but I doubt that will happen here.

I also don't understand how Spider-Man 2 was one of the greatest Cbms of all time. That's the most boring SM so far.

First thing I wanna ask is:

Do they even NEED to kill off Gwen Stacy? It's definitely a bold decision to keep her alive in this series of films as her death in the comic books was a sever game changer. However, there is a laughable irony when we criticize Mary Jane in Sam Raimi's films while we propose that Gwen Stacy absolutely needs to die in this series.

See, many users on this site complain about Dunst's MJ because she was always placed in a routine hostage situation in every movie. I never hear the end of numerous complaints that claim that Mary Jane was nothing but a "plot device" in Raimi's films. Yet, the funny thing is, we wanna build Gwen up so much only to have her be predictably killed off anyways. Sounds like we're making Gwen an even bigger plot device, doesn't it?

It seems like fans aren't taking their time with Gwen Stacy - they already have her grim fate predetermined. So much for the "humanity" that this series was supposedly known for.


And as SotoJuiceMan said, does it absolutely have to be Green Goblin to kill Gwen Stacy? There are a lot of factors that should come into play when killing a character (especially for someone as pivotal as Gwen Stacy). I think we should be more considerate of these factors when making speculation so that we don't become too emotional when we don't have our ideas brought to fruition.

You say you want Green Goblin to kill Gwen Stacy off because that's how it happened in the comics? That sounds like maintaining something for tradition's sake rather than the coherence of the story. Gwen's death in the 70's was unexpected or otherwise, unimaginable. This unforeseen "plot twist" garnered so much positive attention as it was not only a bold move, but a surprising one that caught us off guard. The sorrow and agony one feels after a death is amplified by the fact that we do not see it coming.

To put this into perspective, imagine that a loved one only has 4 months to live. There is no doubt, you will be severely bereaved by his/her incoming and inevitable death. However, you will have had time, in that 4 months, to prepare yourself for the worst. When that sad moment comes that that person passes away, you will be at least 10% ready to face what's about to come.

We all know that Green Goblin is going to be the villain in the 3rd film and that if Gwen lives through the 2nd movie, she's most likely going to die in the third. We have it all figured out... where's the boldness in that?
We are never prepared to lose anyone in real life - if we are prepared for Gwen's death, then we have a serious problem . Talk about undermining the severity of death.


But again, going back to my first point: Killing Gwen. Is it absolutely necessary? Do we really want to trick ourselves into being emotionally invested in Gwen Stacy so that there is some sort of emotional resonance in her death (that we already know how and when it'll happen) ?

Consider these. And learn to take criticism.
