In the vast string ofSpider-Manfilms, theNo Way Hometrilogy left one lingering question: did it do the characters of Harry Osborn and Gwen Stacy justice? Although theNWHtrilogy was a cinematic treat, it faced criticism for moving away from realistic portrayals of beloved characters, especially Harry Osborne and Gwen Stacy.
Meanwhile,Spider-Man 4‘s rumored street adventure presents an interesting opportunity to correct theNWHtrilogy’s mistake. By introducing comic-accurate versions of Harry Osborne and Gwen Stacy, the film could recapture the essence of classic Spider-Man stories and deliver the characters fans deserve.
No Way Home’s Missed Mark: CanSpider-Man 4Keep Up with Classic Spidey?
Spider-Man: No Way Homegave us a fantastic multiverse, but for some fans, it had some faults. Though the film rejoiced with nostalgia, some beloved characters felt like missed opportunities, most notably Harry Osborn and Gwen Stacy.
TheNo Way Hometrilogy introduced Harry Osborn and Gwen Stacy, but their portrayal was heavily deviated from their comic book counterparts. The films surely gave a new interpretation but failed to represent the attributes of these beloved characters.
However,Spider-Man 4has the potential to correct such mistakes. If the story is grounded in Spider-Man’s personal struggles and relationships, the film could offer the intricacies of Peter Parker’s world. This shift in focus could pave the way for the introduction of the comic-accurate versions of Harry Osborn and Gwen Stacy.
Also, with Peter Parker’s identity erased from everyone’s memory,Spider-Man 4has the perfect chance to bring these characters with a clean perspective. And, that approach will allowSpider-Man 4to delve into the darker side ofSpider-Man‘s universe, reminiscent of the beloved Tobey Maguire-era films.
