I just saw Amazing Spider-Man 2 and didn't like it even a bit. But I am not here to complain about the movie, there is something I noticed when Gwen died and was outrageously different from the usual storyline.
PS: I never wanted a Spider-Man movie with Gwen Stacy because of the same reason.
In Comics when Spider-Man stop Gwen's fall using his webs he finds out that she is already dead. For a while Spidey blames himself for her death until Green Goblin tells him "Romantic idiot! She was dead before your webbing reached her! A fall from that height would kill anyone — before they struck the ground!" implying the fact that she was already dead while she fell or she would have died after falling in water. There was no way Spidey could save her.
In the movie although when Spidey and Goblin fight on top of the clocktower and he throws Gwen from above she hangs for a while on Spidey's web.
She is alive at that moment
Then she falls again after Goblin breaks the webbing.
She is still alive while falling we can clearly see that.
Then in an incredibly cheesy sequence Spidey's web reaches to stop her forming shape of hand and SNAP!!
She was alive until stopped by the webbing.
She died because of Spider-Man. Spidey killed her.
I am not saying that she would have survived the fall, she would have died if she hit the floor but here her death is totally Spidey's fault. May be that is some lazy script writing that made writers and directors didnot notice this but it happened.
Sign off your comments and outrage below.
PS: How many of you think that Emma stone will return in ASM 3 in the same fashion Jean Gray did in The Wolverine. Dark and Gritty babyy..
