I really enjoyed greatly the Gwen Stacy from the Spidey series. Brave, forward, different her own Gwen yet something also we as Gwen fans can latch on to from past version as well. With three different series artists each one had a different style and Gwen presented fashionable and style in different ways all while having the same personality written which was interesting in terms of style and visual perception appearance changes).
This might be a different universe but it has the same vibe and characterizations presentation. High hopes for this Gwen and I like the art style alot that feels fitting.
Meanwhile in the latest Spider-Verse movie trailer a Gwen Stacy/Spider-Woman (aka Spider-Gwen) has made an appearance at the end. I don't know what age and differences this version of Spider-Gwen will be from the Earth-65 Spider-Gwen but she sounds more like an adult then a teen which is different from the past Gwen's voiced. I will have to hear more before I can further judge the voice acting or choices made for this actress selected to voice her.
Into the Spider-Verse Gwen is voiced by singer and actress Hailee Steinfeld. She is 21, which is a little younger than Miles' voice actor (Shameik Moore is 23) and quite a bit younger than the movie's Peter Parker (Jake Johnson is 40), so I imagine Spider-Gwen's supposed to be a teenager or young adult.

Well, she's 19 in the comics, so she's probably that age in that movie too.

That's good to know. I guess that possibly that her voice in this movie just sounds deeper than the past actresses voice over acting direction tone that had voiced various Gwens before. The lower tone of her voice made her feel older in tone vs a higher pitch of the past Gwens.
This is just speculation and I'm 99% sure is wrong but maybe when she is not wearing the mask but is Gwen Stacy she has a higher pitch but as Spider-Woman it's lower due to trying to 'mask' her voice when being Spider-Woman so the ones that know her will not be tipped off by her voice plus having a deeper tone usually is perceived as 'adult' and 'authoritative' by others that Gwen might want (and in Homecoming Peter tried to do but failed spectacularly and hilariously) .
But relistening it isn't that lower so possibly just me having to get used agian to another voice vs the ones of the past that I'm use to now.

Yeah, I loved the Gwen from Spidey for all the same reasons you did. And I especially loved the relationship that grew between her and Peter, which culminated in that really wonderful and sweet final issue at the dance.
Gwen being in Into The Spider-Verse makes me soooooooo happy! Excited to see how she fits into everything, and Hailee Steinfeld's a great actor and great choice to play her. Pretty much every voice Gwen has had have been very well chosen.
For those interested check out the latest chapter of my What If? Gwen Never Died story.

"So you've come to the end now alive but dead inside."
I love how you can juggle all these fanfics. I have such a hard time with motivation on my own these days.
Believe me, I know that feeling. It is also hard for me to keep motivated at times. The worst part is the reviews or PM's that just say "worst story ever" or "you suck, die". I don't mind criticism but I hate troll feedback. So hang in there my friend.
PS I'd love to read your story and perhaps offer some feedback. Can you post a link here or else PM me?

If those reviews belong to guests, I think there's an option to delete those...but if they're proper members, not so much luck there.
I've been lucky to have very few troll reviews, other than someone asking if I could insert him into one of my stories, rofl
Sure, I'll do that. My Spidey fics are quite few in number, but I am working on a Gwen Stacy story...it's not a very upbeat one though, it sort of explores what would happen if Gwen survived the bridge but Peter learned of her evening with Osborn[PS I'd love to read your story and perhaps offer some feedback. Can you post a link here or else PM me?
Sounds interesting, by no means am I bothered by darker stories. That is the great thing about fanfiction an author can explore possibilities, including more serious themes, that might never be permissible for the actual writers to use due to restraints placed on the respective properties by the owner or owners (especially when big companies are involved).

So they de-aged her then. Even the version in the Disney XD cartoon is older than that.
