Oh wow, another story where Peter is sad about Gwen. What an original idea...
Gwen, remembering Gwen? I assume you meant MJ there!

They want that almighty Emma Stone fandom dollar, her version of the character remains a hot button topic thanks to how it informed Andrew's Spider-Man in No Way Home. The most popular Peter of that entire film was depicted as having never moved on from her. The most you can take from it as an MJ fan is that it motivated him to save Zedaya.
Counter-counter opinion: I wish someday we get a fairly faithful, if updated to current day, adaptation of the Coffee Bean gang instead of looking back at old films.
Corollary to counter-counter opinion: I wish Disney would throw money at Greg Wiseman to finish Spectacular Spider-Man.
I think we should let Spectacular go too but mostly agreed.
Do you mean when Gwen Stacy was exploited without her knowledge by Peter Parker to hurt Mary Jane Watson? Yeah, that part sucked—shame on Peter. His asinine behavior was not her fault.

Will Zeb Wells progress her character, or is this yet another story dedicated to Pete Parker's grief rather than focusing on the person who died? I think it'd be funny if they brought back Ditko Gwen, and she started whaling on him for never remembering her other hairstyles and fashion trends before calling him an idiot for believing he had any culpability in her death and proposing he hire out a team of mercenaries to kill Norman Osborn before Peter reminds her he's broke. People would enjoy these appearances more if writers made them fun rather than dramatic.
Well she's nothing like 616 Gwen so...
Considering the preview states this is about Peter's judgement as part of the AXE event what do you think?
And no, people enjoy well written serious stories a lot in these scenarious. Spider-man Blue's existence shows drama is superior
TASM Gwen Stacy is about as faithful to the comics character as MCU Peter Parker. She's closer to her counterpart than MJ and Ned Leeds are to their 616 selves. This suggests to me that they struggle with adapting the personalities of Spider-man characters in general rather than Gwen in particular. I feel for their actors because I have no doubt they'd have nailed their roles if the writing allowed it.
I think Gwen Stacy's expression on that cover is a mood, and I'm tempted to make it my profile picture when the issue is released?Considering the preview states this is about Peter's judgement as part of the AXE event what do you think?
Since when do fun stories mean poorly written?And no, people enjoy well written serious stories a lot in these scenarious.
Drama has never been inherently superior, and neither has comedy. If it's considered non-canonical, Spider-man Blue is great story. I oppose some of the characterizations and think the writer should've reviewed old canon so it wouldn't have clashed as much. Interesting for you to mention SM:B, since I've long suspected its reception among comic readers helped kick-start Marvel's current Gwen fixation.Spider-man Blue's existence shows drama is superior
Bringing Gwen back in a flashback or to guilt trip Peter... a tried and tested method X_X
