  • Fans are excited about Gwen’s dynamic addition to the series but have reservations about including Spider-Gwen.
  • Disney offers the first episode of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man for free on YouTube

The first season of everyone’s favorite neighborhood superhero, Spiderman, has come to a close. Yet, the showrunner graciously offered fans a sneak peek into what awaits us in Season 2.

The animated series “Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man” has been a huge hit on Disney Plus. Fans have shown their appreciation through positive reviews and conversations on social media, with the first season even earning 97% ratings from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. With Season 2 already generating excitement despite the first one just ending, Disney has made the premiere episode available to everyone for free. In response to this enthusiasm, showrunner Jeff Trammell has given fans a special treat by sharing fan art featuring a favorite character who will be appearing in the upcoming season.

In simpler terms, Trammell posted pictures on Instagram showcasing artwork of both Gwen Stacy and Spider-Gwen. The caption read, “Our neighborhood just got friendlier! Can’t wait to see you next season!”

The first image displays Gwen with her blonde hair and dressed in a pink turtleneck under a blue jacket, black tights, and a tartan pleated skirt, completed by purple shoes. The second picture features Spider-Gwen (Gwen in her white suit), adorned with black and pink accents. This post confirms that Gwen will appear in Season 2 of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.

In Trammell’s post, there was an outpouring of support from fans, as they eagerly liked thousands of times. Yet, these admirers fervently wished that this time, their beloved character would not meet her demise. One supporter commented, “Please don’t break her neck this time.” Another chimed in, “If she’s skillfully written and Peter and she end up together without either perishing, you’ll have created the greatest Spider-Man media EVER.” Many also expressed their desire for Gwen to be part of the series. However, they were not enthused about the introduction of Spider-Gwen. “Include Gwen but not Spider-Gwen, please,” a different fan wrote. Another user echoed this sentiment and even criticized Spider-Gwen’s costume. “I would be overjoyed if it was just Gwen, but her being Spider-Gwen?? Absolutely not, and that suit is a major flaw,” the user stated. Apparently, fans are open to Gwen in the franchise, but they do not want Spider-Gwen as they prefer the series to focus on Spider-Man.

As a die-hard Spidey fan, I can’t help but get excited about the inclusion of Gwen Stacy in Season 2 of “Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.” This lady is a key figure in the Spider-Man universe, not just as Peter Parker’s friend but also his romantic interest. Her arrival promises to add fresh dynamics, tension, and emotional layers to the series.

Now, things could get interesting when it comes to Peter’s relationship with Norman Osborn. You see, Norman is Peter’s mentor. But Gwen, well, she might stir things up, possibly starting off as a rival at Oscorp or testing Peter’s faith in his mentor. It’ll be intriguing to see how this unfolds!

As a devoted cinema enthusiast, I can’t help but get excited about the possibility of Gwen Stacy becoming Spider-Gwen, as hinted by Trammell in his recent post. This new character could offer an intriguing contrast to Peter Parker, our current Spidey. She may not align with his heroic philosophy, potentially leading to heated debates or even rivalries.

However, the introduction of Spider-Gwen might also suggest connections to other Spider-characters across different dimensions, opening up multiversal storylines. Some fans, however, prefer Gwen over Spider-Gwen because they want the series to maintain its street-level focus. After all, we’ve seen enough multidimensional Spider-Man from the MCU. A street-level Spider-Man is more relatable, with personal struggles that tug at our heartstrings and a classic Spidey feel. It also allows us to delve deeper into Peter’s personal life, making him one of the most authentic superheroes out there.
