How well has The Night Gwen Stacy Died aged as a story?

[Hybrid]

This story is considered a classic that forever changed not just the Spider-Man mythos, but comics as a whole. With Gwen, the fun and harmless Silver Age died with her, and a new era was ushered in.

But it’s also gotten a backlash in modern times for being “misogynistic”, spawning the “women in refrigerators” cliche that became so prominent for the years to come, and Gwen herself being more of a plot device.

I do think the story is a classic, and was handled better than other fridge stories, but I can see where the complaints come from. It’s also a little uncomfortable how Spidey refers to Gwen as “my woman” even after death.

What do you think?
