[β] brygphilomena@lemmy.world 35 points 2 years ago (3 children) Isn't this the story of the original Gwen Stacy? Spiderman tries to save her, but does exactly this and the force on her body kills her anyway. It's been a long, long time since I have read the comics but iirc, it was a defining point in the spiderman canon. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [β] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago (1 child) It wasn't originally. It was essentially the scene from the first Spider Man movie where Goblin makes Spidey swoop in to save her, but she was already dead. They retconned it later to make it so Spidey killed her, which is a better story. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] arken@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) It's the other way around, actually. In The Amazing Spider-Man #125 (Oct. 1973), Marvel Comics editor Roy Thomas wrote in the letters column that "it saddens us to have to say that the whiplash effect she underwent when Spidey's webbing stopped her so suddenly was, in fact, what killed her. In short, it was impossible for Peter to save her. He couldn't have swung down in time; the action he did take resulted in her death; if he had done nothing, she still would certainly have perished. There was no way out." Source The comic (#121) is ambiguous though. There is really no way for the reader to know whether she was dead before her neck was snapped, Green Goblin certainly seems to think so (but he is hardly a reliable source). But snapping her neck certainly would have killed her anyway. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Couldbealeotard@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I didn't think it was ambiguous at all. The word "snap" is printed at her neck when it happens. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] arken@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) If you read my comment, I said it's ambiguous if she was already dead when her neck was snapped, not that her neck was in fact snapped. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Couldbealeotard@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I'm disagreeing. The ambiguity was retconned later because Marvel didn't want to commit to Spider-Man "causing" her death. In the original comic, she is alive and looks like she's in a state of shock according to Peter. Goblin even threatens to kill her, further confirming she is alive. She gets pushed over the edge of the bridge, and he neck is snapped when the web stops her fall. The clear intent in the story telling is that she is alive until the snap. You even quote Roy Thomas stating as such in print a few episodes later. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] arken@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago OK, now I understand what you're getting at and I don't disagree actually. I also think that the original intent was that she died of a broken neck but the ambiguity is there, whether by design or accident, which makes other theories and later retconning possible. I personally suspect they made it a bit ambiguous to give themselves a bit of a back door in case the public would react too harshly to Spidey accidentally kiling his girlfriend. One has to remember how unexpected and grim this was at the time, it was a huge risk to take for the writers (Stan Lee even said later that he was tricked into OKing it while he was packing for a trip...not sure I believe that though). It would have been easy to make her perhaps say something or make a sound when she's lying on the edge of the bridge, or make Peter feel her pulse to confirm she was alive before the fall. As the scene unfolds now, and the way she is drawn when lying on the edge (she looks dead), I feel its unlikely that wasn't intentional. But this is ultimately a matter of interpretation. permalink fedilink source parent [β] Llamalitmus@lemmy.ca 20 points 2 years ago (4 children) He used his web to grab her from above.
