The problem with these "not retcons" is that viewers simply assumed Gwen's powers were innate in origin and not related to aliens in any way, shape, or form. Thus, in their minds, that became canon. They should know a writer never writes everything down, and that characters can be wrong. Otherwise, how are you going to surprise your audience?
