A Look at Spiderman 4: Who is Gwen Stacy?

By Amy Turman


With the statement of Emma Stone (Superbad, Easy A) playing Gwen Stacy in the imminent Spiderman flick chronicling the life of young Peter Parker who will be played by Andrew Garfield, we only thought it would be suitable to do some chronicling of our own of young Parker's love life and tangled love web (since only hardcore comic fans know the real life story of Spiderman's relationship with Gwen Stacy).

Spiderman 4 is meant to glance at the early life of Peter Parker, in contrast to the 3 motion picture blockbuster series that chronicled Parker's post-grad life.

Spiderman was initially made to give youths a superhero they could identify with. Parker's obsession with his inadequacy lead his comic book fans to be able relate. He was a typical kid: a smart science whiz and an orphan who lived with his aunt and uncle. Peter Parker also struggles in love.

Who is Gwen Stacy?

Peter Parker meets Gwen Stacy while studying at Empire School. He initially ignores her advances, and she becomes bored and dates others. However, their talent for science and intellectual capabilities bring them together.

Many things trouble their relationship initially. Gwen Stacy is the daughter of Police Captain George Stacy, who falls to his dying in a fight with the Green Goblinâ€"leaving Gwen to blame Spiderman. Gwen also pressures Peter into marriage which puts a major toll on their relationship, but at last she moves on and they move in together in New York City to plan for their future.

However , Gwen dies all of a sudden from the whiplash of Spiderman's web catching her when the Green Goblin throws her off a bridge. Never before had the loved-one of a superhero died so suddenly.

Her demise lead straight to a lot of critical developments in the world of Spiderman: Mary Jane Watson (a good friend) becomes more significant and becomes better acquainted with Peter Parker, leading to eventual wedding (and everyone knows how that story ends whether or not we haven't read the comics).

â€"â€"â€"

In the final analysis, Spiderman 4 will look into the life of Peter Parker during his relationship with Gwen Stacy who is a less familiar love interest in the shadow of Mary Jane Watson. As the spotlights start to shine more about the production and casting of Spiderman 4, doubtlessly more will be generally known about Gwen and her relationship with Peter Parker. But as of now, tiny is known about this lady of the cartoon books compared with Mary Jane Watson.
