"I Remember Gwen"

[cyberghostface]

 

I posted a panel from this story the other day, and it inspired an...interesting discussion. Here's the context behind it. It comes from Amazing Spider-Man #365. Tom DeFalco plotted it, Stan Lee wrote the script and John Romita Sr. illustrated it.






Mary Jane thinks about the day Captain Stacy died, in which during a fight between Doctor Octopus and Spider-Man, a chimney fell over and Stacy was crushed saving a little boy from being hit.

Good story, but it just makes MJ look like a total rebound. lol

re: Gwen versus Mary Jane

[hohaiyee]

I think it's important to remember that people always change. Peter and Gwen back then was perfect for each other, but Peter today is more matched with Mary Jane. If Gwen didn't die, then Mary Jane would have changed in a different way and found a person other than Peter.

Yeah, the way it actually happened was much less so -- MJ was his first serious girlfriend after Gwen died, but two years later. Then they broke up, Peter dated a few other people -- including Deb Whitman and Felicia Hardy -- and finally got back together with MJ for good more than a hundred issues after Gwen died.
