The Walking Dead: Set Pictures From The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Include Possible Major Spoiler

We’re a bit late to the party on this, but The Daily Mail, over in England, debuted some set pictures of Emma Stone on the set of The Amazing Spider-Man 2. And being an English, tabloidy, general news kind of site, they used their scoop to gush that Stone was dressing more maturely than she did in last year’s original movie, and how damn stylish she looked in a lime-green coat and a purplish mini dress, with some high boots.

The Daily Mail focused on this because they are an English, tabloidy, general news site, and are therefore catering to middle-aged women who want to see how celebrities are dressed, and young men who want to see tits on Page 2 (at least I think it’s Page 2. I am unsure because I am an American, and therefore get my pictures of tits the way God intended: from the Internet, within the context of hard core pornography).

Comic fans, however, looked at these pictures and saw something more. And that something more was a potential serious spoiler for the events of The Amazing Spider-Man 2. And if you are a long-time comic reader like I am, you have already figured out the potential spoiler just from the picture above… but in case you’re unsure and want to remain pristine for the debut next May, you can see what I’m talking about after the jump.

This outfit look familiar?

Look: there have been rumors going around that Director Marc Webb was gonna whack Gwen out at some point during this planned trilogy, and that idea was somewhat borne out by the casting of Shailene Woodley as Mary Jane Watson, who, of course, Peter started dating after Gwen died in the comics back in the 70s. And it’s great that apparently the production crew is dedicated enough to the original comics to mostly reproduce the outfit from that original comic… but this is not Webb’s first rodeo when it comes to comic book movies. He had to know, if these pictures got out, that every comics blogger and journalist in the world would be able to place that outfit. Particularly when the pictures are clearly taken in view of a Goddamned bridge.

Then again, maybe this is a double-blind by the production. Maybe Gwen lives, Mary Jane gets mauled by a tiger in a fit of irony, and Gwen’s wearing that outfit to MJ’s funeral… but either way, it looks like it’s gonna be near someone dead.
