What exactly was the point of this? And is Gwen not underage or is she older at this point? I thought she died really young.
>>154877015Capeshit writers are pretty much all just creepy degenerates whose quality of work is too low to write for soap operas.
>>154877033Was this JMS on his own, or was this Quesadilla mandate?
>>154877015GOBBED
>>154877015
>>154877015This was my main introduction to 616 Gwen Stacy. Before that, I only read Ultimate comics and thought that Gwen was a cool punk rock girl and not some girl that dated Green Goblin, of all people.
>>154877083Joe Quesada presumably, JMS has been open about a lot of stuff from his run being editorial mandate, not him. It's very well documented that Quesada hated the Idea of Peter and Gwen being each other's "first", so It wouldn't surprise me.
>>154877015They write retarded shit so you talk about it
>>154877015>>154877033>>154877083>>154879114>>154879154They were supposed to be Peter's children, but editorial changed it because it "aged the character" too much.
>>154877033See that guy who self-inserted in Teen Titans as Wonder Girl's middle-aged boyfriend.
>>154877015Beta male artists have a hatred of women and can't contain their fetishes. The discourse around this stuff is just cover/projection.That's why.
>>154879412>They were supposed to be Peter's childrenI wonder how would this have worked. Were they still accelerated ages? Who kept them secret? How do they play into the story if not as goblins?
>>154879412Almost every single bad run and story in Spider-Man is a result of a hostile fan editorial keeping him in arrested development.
>>154877083If I remember right JMS wanted the twins to originally be Peter's, but editorial didn't like it since it would make Peter to old and they knew most fans wouldn't like the idea of Peter being a unintentional deadbeat dad. So somehow Green Goblin knocking up Gwen was the compromise editorial came up with. They should've just not do the twin storyline at all but I guess either JMS really wanted to do a Gwen's children screw with Peter story or deadlines were tight so it would be quicker to adjust the twins pitch than come up with something else for the next story arc.
>>154879412>They were supposed to be Peter's children, but editorial changed it because it "aged the character" too much.what is the point of stuff like this? do they think kids won't read the comic if Spider-man has children? I can't remember that ever putting me off a hero. if some guy was a cool guy and he had a kid, I wanted to see more of the story to know if the kid would be like his dad
>green goblin actually fucked mysterio in a wigI find the retcon much better and funnier
>>154880829>i find misinterpreting the retcon funnierFTFY, coomer. Kys, btw.
>>154880400Do you not understand why Norman, who's son was killed because of his involvement with Peter and his alter ego, would twist and corrupt the relationship Peter should've had with his own children and it ends with them dead?
>>154881056No
>>154881086Okay
>>154877015It didn't work anon they tried to make her dirty which is why they did sins past thus upset fans. well I have news for you they FAILED and that's why the undid it later.you LOSE osborn fags you lose BIG time . And now you have TWO anons who wish to see brought back be sure to check out these threads for proof of that,>>154880420>>154881053
WE DON'T FUCKING CARE SINCE IT'S NO LONGER CANON WE JUST WANT HER BACK THAT'S ALL NOW BRING HER BACK MARVEL
>>154881202>>154881394
>>154881445I toldyou we don't care we just want her back now fucking do it.
>>154880729Old Gen X'ers don't know what children want, and project their own fears about children onto them.So we have this weird fucking thing with Spider-Man where we have all these half-baked legacy characters without the pregnancy.
>>154881202Stop flooding, we all know you're the OP's.
>>154881503Why should we sinced it is no longer canon we just want her back.
>>154881518WE WANT GWEN BACK
The most interesting thing she did was die.All actual fleshing out of her character came after the fact by authors mining the tragedy for material.
>>154881622Very true.
>>154877015>What exactly was the point of this?It was based and hot, gave Gwen a second memorable story aside from dying, and gave her children that were better characters than she was.>And is Gwen not underageNo, she was at college by then.
>>154881825What a loser Harry is. He should be pulling her.
>>154880400>They should've just not do the twin storyline at all but I guess either JMS really wanted to do a Gwen's children screw with Peter story or deadlines were tight so it would be quicker to adjust the twins pitch than come up with something else for the next story arc.Supposedly editorial originally greenlit the story as per the original pitch where Peter was the dad, the first issue was written and drawn when editorial changed their minds, but it was less about making him "too old" and more about them being afraid of the possibility that a story about Spider-Man being a deadbeat dad could blow up in the media in a slow news week.In this version of events, OMD would've involved a timeline rewrite that negated the twins' existence, so Peter would've chosen the life of Aunt May over his own children.>>154881622>All actual fleshing out of her character came after the factConstantly portraying her in death as a pure, saintly, flawless character she never was in life wasn't "fleshing out of her character", it was building up mythology around her.
Was norman her first?
Harry committing pranks from beyond the grave.
>>154877015Only JMS knows for sure
>>154883342Our little scamp.
>>154883311No.
Man doesn’t he kill Gwen? This just is beyond hilarious to me they did this
>>154877015>>154877592Before the retcon, Norman technically “Gobbed” two of Peter’s girlfriends.
>>154879722>>I wonder how would this have worked. Were they still accelerated ages? Who kept them secret? How do they play into the story if not as goblins?It could've done similarly like it was done in the final version of the story, where once Gwen died Norman Osborn inserted himself into their lives as their benefactor.Then he could've given them the goblin serum without their knowledge and that would've accelerated their aging, all the while blaming it on Peter.
>>154883311He really was
>>154882118God its amazing how shit OMD was no matter what angle they would've tackled it.
>>154877015>underageWhy would the Goblin or Norman give a fuck about age of consent laws?But no, she wasn’t underage, she was in college. This storyline was stupid for many other reasons, though.
>>154885164The fact that OMD was a collaborate effort of those who would become the BND brain trust is why the comics have been the biggest ulcer for the IP.Even the shit that has been adapted the past two decades has needed an absolute firehose of editing for an adaptation, works are improved by how far they stray from their source material.
>>154883311
>>154884357Best part of the whole retcon were these memes
>>154885232God bless Spencer and Mysterio.Of course now I'm wondering how many times Mysterio had MJ hypnotized and why this was never brought up in their mini-series together.
