With the new Spider-Man reboot premiere looming a lot of fans have expressed delight to outrage with some of the aspects of the film. Some hate the fact that there will be a new cast, some hate the fact that it will start from scratch, some hate that our favorite superhero love interest redhead will not be appearing. But something I'm curious to know is whether or not the movie will become a new trilogy and if leading lady Gwen Stacy will die in the film. The vast majority of Spider-Man fans are aware of who Gwen Stacy is and what she is famous for. They are also aware that her death not only stuck, but was actually a major turning point (no pun intended) in Peter Parker's character development and in the history of comic books as a whole. Most fans agree that Gwen belongs dead and that she should die in the film.
While I agree she should die eventually, I'm not so sure she should die so soon (especially if the film is the first in a trilogy) mostly because that's exactly what most of us are expecting. I personally would be very dissapointed if they followed the exact same recipe for her death as the comics, simply because there would be no suspense. In addition, in what manner should she die? Should she once again meet her fate at the George Washington Bridge, or be drained by Carnage? What if she doesn't die at all? Would that really be so bad if the film takes place in another universe seperate from the comics? What if they do something completely unexpected and introduce Mary Jane later and pair her with Peter and she dies instead?
Everyone seems to have their minds made up that Ms. Stacy should die, but would it be a good idea if that's exactly what everyone's expecting?
