• While I admit that Spider-Gwen is a cool character, I have problems with her very existence. Namely, that Gwen is one of the few love interests who should never be brought back because her death led to some massive character development. I feel the same way about Rumiko Fukajawa and Maria Castle. While there are still some deaths which I feel need to be undone (Jean Grey is at the top of my list) Gwen's death was an incredibly meaningful moment and I can't support Spider-Gwen in good conscience.

    Entirely your choice.

    But in the Spider-Gwen universe she never died, so she isn’t a love interest that has been “brought back.” Even when Spider-Gwen showed up in 616 it wasn’t really Gwen Stacy coming back, because she had extremely different lived experiences from 616!Gwen.
