Amazing Spider-Man thoughts

I'm so glad I got to see the movie on opening day (although I wasn't lucky enough to attend screeners like SOME OF YOU). I didn't really want to be any more biased toward it than I already had been

As far as Gwen, it's actually the opposite! The Raimi movies were not original comics canon order. Gwen is his first love - the first girl to really fall for him. She was a fellow science student in college. Her father was a Spidey-supporter (Gordon-esque) until his death on a rooftop while Spidey was stopping a crime (not the Lizard). George admitted he knew Peter was Spider-Man as he died, and wanted him to take care of her. Then after the Green Goblin discovered Peter's secret, he threw her off a bridge in front of Spidey. He tried to save her with a web catching her foot, and it breaks her neck. She never knew about Peter, although he had been trying to work up the courage to tell her. The internship with Connors featured heavily in the Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon.

I'm a HUGE George Stacy fan, and even though his death is canon, I wish it had waited until another movie. A Spider-Man/Stacy working together movie plot would have thrilled me. And yes, Sally Field was great, really all the adult actors.

The awkward dialogue stuff! So great! I want Tumblr gifsets of ALL of it. Must find a decent screener to use if no one else does it.

I actually LOVED the web spin/kiss. I'm a HUGE sucker for the use of webbing in the romance. :D:D:D

Gwen was the one that dies by Goblin? Oh, wow, I DID have it backwards, lol, and so did the film-makers! I guess they'll keep us all wondering what they're up to with this new series as well.

If you find gifsets, please share! I'd love to have them too! :D
