Spider-Man: Crossing the Multiverse causes worldwide buzz, climbing slightly over $200 million. In the midst of social media euphoria, the trend continues to Gwen Stacyone of the main characters transgender communityand that’s why.
Gwen is a trans girl?
This controversy began after the release of the first trailer for the tape, because during the fragment dedicated to the girl’s room, you can see transgender community flag poster and the phrase “protect transgender children”. Also, in another episode of the tape, it is seen that Gwen’s father’s jacket has a brooch with the same flag on it.
In addition to this, the various color palettes of Gwen’s solo scenes support this theory, in addition to one of the protagonist’s dialogue where she refers to the fact that even her friends cannot fully know her.
What do fans think of this?
While opinions are divided, it’s surprising that most of the comments on social media are in support of the character, as his charisma and abilities were enough to win people’s love, so it wouldn’t matter if he was part of the LGBT+ community. unless the character is restricted by their sexual identity.
And if you take into account that Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is a combination of different characters in one, then Jessica Drew is a hybrid with Valerie “The Librarian”, the original Spider-Woman; it would be unreasonable to assume that ghost spider (as Gwen is known in the comics) be combined with Ultimate Spider-Womanwho’s in the cartoons transgender girl.
However, this remains a theory for now, and it may just be a message of support for this community, which in 2022 was the most violent among the LGBT community: 55% of murders in Mexico were committed by gays.
Thus, we will have to wait for an official statement from its creators or the completion of this trilogy with Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse March 29, 2024 @mundiario
