Of course, the underlying trope didn't start with that issue in the late '90s if the Internet had been around in 1973 when Gwen Stacy met her demise, the trope could easily be changed from "fridging" to "bridging."
She came up with the term to specifically describe what happened to the hip and young Green Lantern Kyle Rayner's girlfriend Alex DeWitt, who the emerald hero found dead and shoved into his fridge by a supervillain. Odds are you've heard the term "women in refrigerators," coined by Gail Simone many years ago to describe the disturbing trend of female characters being killed to further the emotional anguish of the dudes that loved them.
RELATED: Garfield & Stone on "Amazing Spider-Man 2's" 'Thrilling and Terrifying' Ending Gwen Stacy was introduced into Sony's "Amazing" franchise for the sole purpose of dying - but did she really have to die? Considering that she signed on to play a character most known for being dead, Emma Stone's days felt numbered as soon as she appeared on screen in the role. Does that surprise anyone who even has a passing knowledge of the Marvel Universe? Gwen Stacy being dead has become her most identifiable trait, right up there with her black headband and Romita-approved smile. She dies! She dies in the film's final act. So let's get the spoiler out of the way so I can get down to writing a lot about that spoiler. You're going to be very surprised by "Amazing Spider-Man 2," and - possibly - very angry. And if you haven't yet put it together what this article is going to be about considering the title and the fact that I'm throwing up spoiler warnings, then I applaud your ability to remain unaware of the thing Gwen Stacy has become most known for. Let's have a talk about "The Amazing Spider-Man 2." And this is going to get spoiler-y, so if you haven't seen the film yet, you should look away.
