So what was the point of Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man 3?

[The Ichi]

Did she even do anything in that film? I guess she caused a bit of tension between Peter and MJ, but besides that.

I mean, people say Venom wasn't used properly, but at least he was used!

[Hit Girl]

She was one of many pointless things in that movie.

[revolver86]

Can't we just pretend this, Phantom Menace, X Men: The Last Stand, and Batman & Robin never existed? I sleep better that way.

[Kevin Hamilton]

Listened to the commentary a few weeks back. Apparently, she was supposed to be the chick in peril at the end of the movie. I don't remember why they said they switched it to MJ instead.

Gwen being in danger from Venom would have made more sense though, since they established that Eddie thought he had a sort of relationship with her, and thought Peter stole her.

Edit: I would presume that if they went with whatever the original plan was, Gwen woulda had more of a role in the next one, and maybe there would've been a further romantic triangle or something.

But all of those movies (Save Last Stand--eww!) have brought so much joy to my life. If you can watch Spider-Man 3 and not laugh, then you have no soul.

To be fair to your immortal soul, I meant can instead of can't.

[SHAKEMASTER TV9 is Don Knotts]

She wasn't used in the other films.

[Display Name]

I don't know,but I thought Bryce looked reallyyy good in that role.

[Deleted]

It put Bryce Dallas Howard on screen and I am always down for that. Then again I'm always down for any of the Howards to be on my screen, even Clint.

[DSR]

The weirdest thing is, they had a blonde girl dye her hair red and play Mary Jane as the girl next door (when she was a trendy model in the comics). Then they took a redhead, had her bleach her hair blonde, and play Gwen Stacy as a trendy model (when she was the girl-next-door in the comics).

[Kevin Hamilton]

And do the same in the next series, making a natural redhead a blonde again.

[The Ichi]

I'm one of the five people that actually liked Last Stand.

Then again, despite my OP, I liked Spidey 3 too.

Um....Emma Stone is a natural blonde....

[DSR]

Emma looks so good as a redhead, we all just assumed that's her natural hair color.

[Kevin Hamilton]

Is she, I thought she was at least auburn haired. Fair enough.

[Heartbreaker]

For making this ridiculous scene.

[Cela]

Because Ron Howard's daughter needed money.

Still the greatest scene in any superhero movie.

Better than these, sir? Surely you jest.
