Civil War: Iron Man (2007)

Tony Stark on Spider-Man: "If he'd been properly trained, maybe he could have broken her fall without breaking her neck."

Tony Stark knows and fears what too much power does to a person, even those with innocent intentions. If he can't prevent these kids from being in the street he at least wants them to be polished and trained. Tony struggles with alcoholism and opens up to Cap in this comic about nearly killing innocent people when he was drunk in the Iron Man suit. Tony can't even trust himself, let alone these overpowered kids. He just wants them to be as safe as possible.

Once again, another amazing example of Gwen defending Peter because she loves him.

thoughts on peter and gwen if it's no trouble?

brutally honest ship opinion meme - I'm catching up on 6-month-old ask meme prompts it's fine.

Hang on, I need to dig into the 2011 reaction gif folder.

They were gonna get muh-huh-huh-hah-uh-rried-d-d-d-dhhh.

PeterGwen are...the most thematically load-bearing non-familial relationship in this comic. Which makes it very funny (depressing) how many writers and fans are like "ah this is the Basic romance". PeterGwen is...inevitable, by choice. They're two asshole STEM majors (PeterGwen is asshole4asshole whereas PeterMJ is bitch4bitch, these are distinct) who ALWAYS conduct themselves at each other with the MAXIMUM amount of drama. They are a vintage romance comic nested inside a vintage superhero comic. The clash of their personalities is such that they don't know how to go to the store together without composing a sonnet about it. A hypothetically uninterrupted PeterGwen trajectory wouldn't dock in suburbia - it would be pastel and primary Morticia and Gomez. Gerry Conway was correct in concluding that the only way to really stick a fork in this relationship was to kill one of them off, because if you took the alternate route I've proposed in the past of keeping them from tying the knot by having Gwen become the supervillainous member of the friend group they would have eventually crashed back together weirder, more dramatic, and more powerful. I'm enamored with their bullheaded, fatal refusal to leave each other alone, which is why I like taking a poly approach to Gwen revival concepts. (Also they're both fun and they're fun together.)

I'm gonna inline the panel down that link again because: their vibes.

So THAT'S the dynamic that was, or should have been, enshrined when Gwen's death became a keystone event in the Marvel universe. They're in the foundations of PeterMJ, Harry's stints as the Goblin, all the clone shit, etc. They're echoing eternally through this franchise in way more substantial ways than the dozens of multimedia homage scenes of characters getting thrown off tall shit. If you like Spider-Man and you think you don't like PeterGwen yes you do.

And holy shit the DRAMA of a relationship where a timer starts ticking down when two people first meet. The ANGST. This is one of the reasons I don't love Spider-Gwen shifting to going by Ghost Spider because "death always follows Gwen Stacy" like, no!! That's such a stale toast way to interpret Peter's Gwen being dead and Gwen's Peter being dead. The much jucier read through which to allow the characters to see the shape of the narrative trends that guide their lives is: The laws of the universe have decreed that once the two of you enter a room together only one of you gets to leave it alive. (I was very occupied with this concept writing Three Graves but did not convey it very well, I intend to work it into Neapolitan, I know what I like.)

Been watching The Amazing Spider-Man movies and remembering why I love Andrew Garfield’s Spidey so much. So as with every hyperfixation I have, I have to draw it. 🕸️
