Ok so I don’t know if you have noticed but into the spider verse does an AMAZING job at telling Gwen’s backstory in just a few minutes, now this does contain spoilers for Gwen’s backstory
In Gwen’s backstory scene you can see the shadow of her beating up Green Goblin right?
Now if you pay attention to the Green Goblin’s shadow you can see it turning into a man like this;
This is Peter Parker, in Gwen’s universe Peter Parker is her best friend and also the Green Goblin
You can even see the green blue scales left on his body after he is back to his normal state
And you can see the look of terror on Gwen’s face after she realizes what she has done, and they don’t even show her face
Then later when Peter meets MJ in the restaurant Gwen tells Peter that “it’s not your MJ, trust me I’ve been there”
She is directly talking about him, right in front of him, and he doesn’t even know it
Gwen goes through the entire movie having to look at Peter B. Parker and remember that she killed her Peter
And this concludes my essay for why Gwen is an underated character and y'all need to give her the respect she deserves
All this except that Peter is the Lizard in her universe
More to the point, Peter became the Lizard after being inspired BY Gwen and wanted to be a hero himself, saying as his final words that he wanted to be special, like her
