” Guess what, men: Gwen Stacy got into Oxford without you, so you don’t get to tell her what she can and cannot do. I kept thinking of Mad Men ’s Peggy Olson saying, “Well, aren’t you lucky, to have decisions. The whole movie is Peter saying how he can’t date Gwen because of a promise he made to keep her safe. Especially, in this case, with Denis Leary always lurking around with that sour puss of his. I think the trouble with the whole great power/great responsibility thing is the inherent paternalism. Weirdest Debate in Spider-Man History Rages On My answer to you is yes, I think her death works - both for her character arc and for Spider-Man’s.

And unsurprisingly, I took her death very hard, but we’ll get to that later. For years, I’ve very vocally said that Emma Stone should’ve been Spider-Man. Kyle, I really didn’t want Emma Stone to die.

I also wonder whether the scene works in the context of the movie. This is something that comic-book fans have seen coming for quite a long time - director Marc Webb has said numerous times that he wanted to be faithful to Gwen’s doomed arc from the comics, and Stone was photographed in Gwen’s “death outfit” while filming - but I wonder whether general audiences will be taken aback.

Join Kyle Buchanan and Jesse David Fox as they debate some of those big moments below. Things take quite a turn for the web-slinging Peter Parker before The Amazing Spider-Man 2 draws to a close, and the last twenty minutes of the movie deliver some twists and shocks that have had audiences gasping (and Vulture staffers arguing). Emm Stone stars in Columbia Pictures’ “The Amazing Spider-Man 2,” also starring Andrew Garfield.
