Isn't this the story of the original Gwen Stacy? Spiderman tries to save her, but does exactly this and the force on her body kills her anyway.

It's been a long, long time since I have read the comics but iirc, it was a defining point in the spiderman canon.

He used his web to grab her from above. I think her neck snaps from the whiplash?

I just rewatched the scene on YT, and he's actually just a bit too late, and her head slams into the ground with full force.

I was thinking of the comic, but I guess it makes sense tocdo it that way in a movie meant for kids. A neck snapping might be a bit grim

And whipping a skull into concrete isn’t grim?

I don't experience it myself, so I couldn't say why it is the case, but I've known people who felt more freaked out or unsettled by things like death via necks snapping. If I were to try and guess, maybe it is easier to process direct impact causing lethal trauma than something that seems less... sonething? Idk. Maybe someone who has experienced this can explain.
