THIS is supposed to be Aunt May? Why is the MCU love besmirching its source material so much?
>>150537370because the mcu is nortubel tier
Hot chick sell product.Real question is why do they keep using Zendaya?
>>150537370I'd let her fuck me
what's wrong with hot aunt may other than not being the version you know?
>>150537394why is disney using a disney star? no matter how shit the company is, they remain loyal to those who are loyal to them. you are garunteed a job for life at that place.
>>150537370Movie May gets younger with every incarnation. Years from now, after Holland-spider is retired, the next franchise's May will be a senior in college instead of a senior citizen.>>150537394>why do they keep using Zendaya?Because she checks all the required "woke" boxes.>mutt>flat>ugly>androgynous >typecast as the same smug, girlboss, smartest-chartacter-in-the-room she always plays
>>150537370I don't care what ridiculous cope people pull out of their ass, Aunt May being a desiccated mummy has always been stupid. Spinster wine aunt May is better. As is not-Madame Web May from Spider-Verse.
>>150537370Homecoming came out when I was 15 and I wish this version of Aunt May would groom me.
>>150537517>hello, anon. Hm? Oh, Peter isn't home. But do come in! You can wait inside till he comes, and besides, I need help with an issue I have in the bedroom.
>>150537498>senior in college instead of a senior citizenI approve
I still remember the combination goon/seethe when they announced Marisa Tomei was cast as Aunt May. Legit felt like that one Futurama gif.
>>150537509>I don't care what ridiculous cope people pull out of their ass, Aunt May being a desiccated mummy has always been stupid.You are actually retarded.
>>150537541Oh yeah, baby!
>>150537370It looks weird for an 80 year old woman to be an aunt to a 15 year old kid
peter is supposed to be a high school student,why aunt may should be old as fuck?makes no sense
>>150537588>no argument>"No, it has to be the same as in comics, no matter how little sense it makes!"
>>150537370Because its a multi-billion dollar franchise which got that way by ignoring fags like you
>>150537679Because that's how it was in the comics and change of any kind makes me explosively shit myself in rage.
>>150537795But I'm the most important person in the universe. They should be ignoring everyone EXCEPT me. I'm the only one whose opinion actually matters.
>>150537679Aunt May being old added a level of tragedy to Peter's lifeAfter the death of Ben he became the man of the house and had to be there for his sickly Aunt but also needed to be Spider-ManHe had to find a balance between his school life, taking care of Aunt May of whom had like 3 heart attacks in his final year of highschool alone, make time for his job and to be Spider-Man. It forced him to grow up and mature before he was ready to and added to the isolation he felt from his peers in school Making her progressively younger and okay with his hero side just sands down more of the complexity of the character but its to be expected from people that like the wholesome reddit chungus he's portrayed as now
>>150537498>Movie May gets younger with every incarnation. Years from now, after Holland-spider is retired, the next franchise's May will be a senior in college instead of a senior citizen.funny and original joke that I definitely didn't hear nearly a decade ago
>>150538056>no you don't get it bro Peter's responsibility and guilt isn't from Ben's death or that choices have consequences or that he wants to support May with his meagre income, it's SPECIFICALLY because May is a walking corpse whose medical bills drained the household and that's what caused him to mature bro if you remove this hyper specific part of his backstory that I totally embellished as being a major intended plotline the character won't just work bro and if you don't think I'm right it must be because you're le Redditoid idiot
>>150537778>no matter how little sense it makes!"It makes perfect sense, you absolute cretin.
>>150537370This never bothered me honestly, an Aunt should be the same relative age as your parent. I know there’s exceptions of course but most aunts and uncles are usually 4 years apart at most.
>>150537370This was around the time MCU stopped giving a shit about adapting much and wanted to go do their own things. They were very intent on making a reasonable adaptation of Iron Man's origin, Captain America, etc. But with Spider-Man they just decided to completely make some new shit up.
>>150537370It started with the Ultimate comics. Ultimate Aunt May was still old but not a walking mummy like her 616 version. Then the Ultimate Spider-Man just made her hot but with white hair. MCU just got a hot older actress to play her. Next time she'll be ten years older than Peter and look like his older sister. Anime Aunt May will be a loli.
>>150537370They didn't want everyone to hate Aunt May. I always hated that old bitch>>150537679>>150537778>siblingless idiots don't understand siblings can have huge age gapsSay a person and their sibling have an 18 year age gap. Then the younger sibling has a kid at like age 30. The sibling will be mid 60s when that kid is in high school
>>150538056>had to be there for his sickly AuntI fucking hated it. Betty Brant relationship drama was better than "oh no, aunt May is having a medical issue" or worse "oh no, Aunt May has been kidnapped and is too stupid and senile to know it"
>>150538362I'm re-reading through that stuff now since I'm stuck in a hospital and I can't but think its funny as shit.>Liz touches Peter's forehead because he seems ill>Betty has the vapors over her "running her fingers through his hair"Its so melodramatic
>>150538212No it doesn't. No amount of screeching on your part will ever make it make sense. >>150538335Dipshit, nobody cares if it's possible, the issue is that a gap THAT fucking wide is extremely unlikely. It's dumb, and I refuse to pretend otherwise just because of 'muh comic accuracy'.
>>150537370Aunt Marisa Tomei is one of the better changes they made for their Spider-Man depiction. If I wanted the Sam Raimi movies, I'd just go watch the Sam Raimi movies.
>>150538602No part of >But she's OOOOLD will ever be a valid argument for it not making sense. You fundamentally do not understand Spider-Man at all.
I always thought she was supposed to be like, his great aunt or something but apparently uncle ben was his actual uncle (dad's brother). why were they so old???
>>150537370I'm kind of tired of Aunt May being a wreck that almost dies every tuesday. Especially after I've had loved ones go through a similar thing before they finally passed away.
Because like every single thing about these Spider-Man movies, new Aunt May had to be awful.
>Billions of people >There are zero people with much older parents/aunts/uncles than the average studentYou niggers are actually retarded. Complete non-issue with the storytelling>>150538335I had aunts and uncles in their late sixties when I was in highschool. It's more realistic than getting fucking spider powers
>>150538675I had a schoolmate whose parents were white-haired in elementary and who both passed away before he was 18. His cousins were so old they had kids almost his age.
>>150537370The aunt of a young teenager should be relatively young as the parents
>>150538721Was peter a geriatric pregnancy? Does he have autism?
Marisa Tomei is fucking hot as fuck, I would cum inside her even if she was my aunt by blood.
>>150537778>No argument!Neither did you fag boy, you just spouted off your shit opinion like it was an uncontestable fact. Don't be upset when people laugh at you for it.
>>150538671>You fundamentally do not understand Spider-Man at all.You are gatekeeping trash.
>>150539362Yes, and that's a good thing. We saw what happened when we let you retards in years ago so now the gate come down
>All these gooners looking for ANY reason to justify this decision beyond >It makes my peepee hard!You pathetic porn addicts will take any slop laddled onto your tray.
>>150539398You're getting a little too riled up over a relatively minor change. An adaptation doesn't have to be a 1:1 recreation of what came before it. The MCU had new ideas for their take on Spidey, and aging down May was one of them. Her ultimate fate still hit just as hard too
>>150538685>I'm tired of these characters having realistic struggles
>>150537394>why do they keep using Zendaya?She's hot for the common denominator, the one that can pay for products and services
>>150539362You are flooding shit.
>>150537370I hope it's hairy
>>150537394because she's hot desu
>>150540967EW
>>150538514Betty is basically the kind of girlfriend the BND crowd wants Peter to have but are too cowardly to admit
>>150537370They're never going to do what they did in the Tobey movies again. Get used to it anon. I mean think about it. How the FUCK is it even possible to live up to her? If you try to make another elderly Aunt May it will just feel like a mockery. They have no choice but to try something new.
>>150537370Hollywood hates comics. It's seen as the lowest form of art. It's crude and only okay when someone from Hollywood changes everything about it so that they can go: "Look at how I elevated this trash to art. Aren't I amazing?"
It never really made sense that Peter Parker's aunt was a fucking 90 year old prune
>>150537483>what's wrong with hot aunt may other than not being the version you know?Because there's zero reason that young hot Aunt May would need Peter to help her pay the bills. This was a huge part of what drove him in the comics. Aunt May was old and limited to her retirement money or whatever she could scrimp and save but by making her young and heart you remove one of the major burdens hanging over Spider Man's head. You're removing a major responsibility.
>>150541457Not now, maybe, but it did in the 60's.
>>150541522I feel like even back then it was pushing the limits of their relationship for Pete to be 16 and his aunt and uncle to be ancient
>>150538707My uncle who was in his 60s when I was in high school still bicycles and had none of the health problems Lee gave Aunt May for drama.I'm a dad now and my kid's only living great-grandparent in her late 80s is more like 616 May but still not as bad.
>>150537370Being aged 50 doesn't turn fine ladies into grandmas in this day and age.>>150537394Blame it on Sony.
>>150541475Ben Parker: Yeah kid, I'm improbably 70 years older than you and if anything happens to me, you'll be responsible for your decrepit aunt. With great power comes great responsibility!
>>150541585Not really? I also don't think she's sctually 90, more like 60, she's younger than that but due to limited advancements in medicine as well as the harsh and stressful time period in which she grew up (Great Depression/WW2), she appears a lot older. Her frail health is also a byproduct of growing up in that time period.
TASM feels like the decent middle ground between old as shit granny and full blown milf,
>>150541741TASM also got a lot of early May's personality accurately. She used to be scared shitless because Peter was a kid whose father figure had recently died who was running off left and right to do god know's what. Original trilogy May sometimes leaned into that but TASM to it's credit had that part of her personality nailed down.
>>150537679Richard and Ben's age gap made about as much sense as Richard secretly being S.H.I.E.L.D. I think we can blame Ditko for making May look like the Crypt Keeper even if the in-universe excuse was Peter's unpopularity taking care of a half-dead woman.
>>150538223Here’s a thought, what if Peter’s grandparents had like 10 kids and May was the oldest and Peter’s mother was the youngest?
>>150541224No one here was ever put off by Betty, but she was too seemingly perfect to be a viable girlfriend from the writers' perspective.
>>150541825And then there's the worst thought humanly possibleTrouble
Aunt May is supposed to remind you of your Grandma who you want to protect and be your best self for. Not the history teacher you want to bang.
>>150538309>Ultimate Aunt MayThe hands-down perfect iteration of the characterHer dying in Ultimatum but fucking Bombshell and her mother getting to come over to 616 is asinine beyond belief
>>150539362We're gatekeeping you out
>>150541869Even Sideways knew the truth here (the not-Spider-man's birth mother suddenly reappears and the splash page of her meetng not-Peter at the door is a 1:1 recreation of "you just hit the jackpot, tiger")
>>150541869It also doesn't help that we don't really get all that many heartfelt scenes with MCU's aunt May.BUT to be fair I don't recall all that much from those movies.I don't recall if Tom went to her to talk about girl problems, or if he went to the Vulture for that. I vaguely remember him talking to the AI suit about it.But yeah I remember her finding out about his identity on some Post-credits scene. Her talking to him while he prepares his suitcase. Them doing some charity event. Her talking to Happy(?). Her talking to villains in NWH and then dying.
>>150537370Some Aunt Mays are hot and some are not. It's the multiverse I don't have to explain shit.
>>150542060>Her talking to Happy(?)She was fucking Happy
616 Aunt May was already shriveled up even in flashbacks to when Peter was like fucking 6! What the hell?
>>150537370Explain how a teenager is going to have an AUNT, their MOTHER'S SISTER, who is decrepit and has one foot in the grave.
>>150542145New York smog does that to you.
>>150542145My mother's aunt and uncle are basically the same age as her and they were childhood friends. Some families keep having kids for a while so May is the old sibling apparently.
>>150542152Because anon...women started having children in their mid to late teens and remained fertile and hyper sexual well into their 60s and early 70s. Hormonal birth control, male circumcision, and poor diet fucked all of that up.Family dynamics like tgat were not uncommon. Also, it would be easy to say old aunt may is his great aunt. His aunt being the textbook definition of a cougar, the living embodiment of a beautiful mature woman works.
>>150542334>remained fertile and hyper sexual well into their 60s and early 70s
>>150541798TASM's May looks and acts a lot like one of my aunt's and it made me very sympathetic to her in those movies. The first movie made it clear how scary it is for Peter to be coming home late with his face all fucked up.
>>150539362gatekeepinglol you just gave up your whole argument with this.Aunt May being a frail liability is the point. It's a measure of Peter's character. She has no blood relation to him, she's just his uncle's wife who never had kids, but she did help raise him and is the only person Peter has left.
>>150542152>>150541825Aunt May isn't related to Peter's mom(most of the time). She's Ben's wife. Ben was older than Peter's father.
>>150537498Except Marissa Tomei wasn't younger than the previous Aunt May.
>>150537370Because that's the normal thing, and I'm grateful MCU changed Aunt May to be younger. Do Americans really have aunts that look like their great grandmothers. Your aunt is supposed to be around the same age as your parents, so of course if you're a teenager, your aunt would be in her 40s, not a fucking corpse in her 80s like Aunt May from the comics. Accept it, this is one of the few things the MCU did right.
>>150543978It's not meant to be normal you fuckwit
>>150541475>Because there's zero reason that young hot Aunt May would need Peter to help her pay the bills.it's not about money. it's about not getting himself killed and leaving poor hot aunt may alone, which is also important.
OK defenders, how did May being 70 years older than Peter happen? Marya Parker was 40 when she had him, her husband was 10 years older than her, and he had a brother 20 years older than himself who married a woman his own age way back when?
>>150543900Sally Field was 66, Marisa Tomei was 53
>>150538675>not related by blood Peter should've made a move
>>150543978>Do Americans really>Why do Americans
>>150544063Anon, you seriously think in the current day and age, child services would agree to leave a 15 year old under the care of a frail old lady whos principal hobby is having heart attacks after her husband got killed?
Ditko himself was also fairly sickly in his youth, at one point his comic career stalled because he got tuberculosis and couldn't work and had to go back home. Many people could just have their health be messed up since youth that would prematurely age them and leave them sickly, Aunt May was someone like that.In general the perception of an aunt being older and more frail was a thing back then, look at Auntie Em from Wizard of Oz.
>>150542269My one aunt got all mad at her mom because when she was in hospital having her first baby her mom wasn't there because she was in the same hospital still having babiesAnd I'm closer in age to my nieces than any of my siblings, my closest sibling is 15 years older than me, youngest niece is only like 12 years younger. Lonely children cannot comprehend sibling age gaps
>>150544905anon, there's a shit ton of kids raised by their grandmothers here because their dad left and their mom is on drugs. There aren't enough decent homes to put every trouble case in a safe, stable home, let alone a 15-16 year old(keep in mind, Peter being 15 is a retcon. He was likely closer to 17 originally)
>>150544174Prove it.
>>150537541>this is supposed to be a mousy ancient hag
>>150544952this sounds so cute and silly >my closest sibling is 15 years older than me, youngest niece is only like 12 years younger.good lord. my mom had us one after the other
>>150539373I was calling Spider-Man trash, you illiterate fuck.
>>150540922Who's got that one webm handy? You know the one...
>>150537498Lmao there will be no more Peter Parker after that gay british kid quits. The next Mays will be Miles Moraleses girlfriend
>>150542145God this character fucking sucks. >>150543644>Aunt May being a frail liability is the point.And it's a shit point. It's annoying as fuck watching this bitchy loser fret over his ancient relative all the damn time.
>>150537370Aunt May and Mary Jane should’ve interacted with each other a lot more
>>150545952Again, we saw what happened when we let you retards in years ago so now the gate come down
>>150546072Imagine your aunt stealing your girlfriend. I know about your male relatives stealing your girlfriend like your brother or your father, but imagine the shock to find out your aunt was a lesbian all along and your girlfriend too.
>>150537370dayumm mama you fine asl
>>150537370Hot
>>150537370Yeah. I prefer MILF Aunt May to 100+ year old mummy Aunt May.
The real tragedy is that the hot aunt may dies while the ancient crone continues to survive thanks to Peter feeding Mephisto with the soul of his unborn child.
>>150538309Lolibaba aunt may berating peter and being constantly kidnapped T0T
>>150538287That's because they knew they'd never outdo Sony's film and didn't want to try
>>150541593Yeah it wasn't that she was old, but that she was this comically over the top caricature of an old person who existed purely to make Peter's life difficult and nothing else.
>>150550306Why?
>>150550726Because it makes more sense. Same with organic web shooters.
>>150550737You don't get paid for posting bait in here. Xitter will be more your speed. Have a good night Sir.
>>150550755I don't like a person's *aunt* being some ancient dried up mummy, and I think organic web shooters help make Spider-Man more... spider-like.
>>150541090Dumb frogposter.
>>150541224The FUCK does BND mean? Is that some kind of secret Morse code slang for cougar bullshit? Just say Peter likes older women. Damn zoomers.
nothing and i mean NOTHING PISSES ME OFF MORE THAN THE FACT THAT THEY RELAGATED PLANET HULK OFF TO A FUCKING HALFED ASS OFF SCREEN SET UP IN A GOD DAMMED THOR MOVIE FUCK THIS MARVEL MOVIE SHIT DUDE
>>150550997They were never gonna do World War Hulk in the MCU and that's really the only point of Planet Hulk, setting that up
>>150545954You guys think they'll postpone Brand New Day after Holland's dangerous incident?
>>150541090>t. faggot>>150550941it means Brand New Day you pretentious tourist fag
>>150550997It was funnier to me that apparently the Valkyrie bitch was supposed to be Caiera and their kid just randomly shows up in the Shulk show and Banner fucks off to space
>>150537370It's funny. We get one truly AUNT MAY, then they think "wait, why is she Aunt May, she's an old lady!" and made her a milf wine aunt.
>>150537370>>150537394Because MCU is for cool normal people, not FUCKING NERRRRRDS!>[smiles basedishly]

>>150546004FYCK YOU
>>150541741>>150541798>>150542957yeah i have to agree, i think she hit a good balance of being old but not too old.
>>150556612Why do they go out of the way to make her look terrible in everything? Also, based on Dune 2, she can’t act for shit.
>>150537370Would have been more interesting change if she actually played his Mother Mary Parker.Ella Purnell would have been an interesting choice for MJ
>>150537370It's part of the "LOL WE SUBVERTED YOUR EXPECTATIONS!!!" gag that Hollywood has been channeling since the mid 2010's. Fucking tiresome.
>>150537509>I don't care what ridiculous cope people pull out of their ass, Aunt May being a desiccated mummy has always been stupid.Correct
>>150557567
>>150556612Looks like a trannie...
>>150540967She got implants?
>>150537679He's supposed to be a freshman in college with a job as a photographer.Peter Parker is supposed to be a hot Archie, juggling Aunt May(a woman with no male figure besides Peter), choosing between two different women that want him, and doing the right thing being spider-man with his powers.Every retard tries to shave off one of those things to the story's detriment
>>150537493>they remain loyal to those who are loyal to them. you are garunteed a job for life at that placeIt's for you
>>150546714I mean at that point you just gotta laugh it off, because what are the odds?
>>150541475You do realize this is modern-day NYC right? They’d probably still need help paying bills if Ben was still alive
This is easily the hottest and most fuckable Aunt May
>>150540967>>150556612You have to cake a solid foot of makeup on her to get her at least a quarter way to just okay.
>>150558310
>>150537498>may gets younger every reboot>May eventually is so young that Peter is the older one>Peter has to balance being Spider-Man with going to PTA meetings since he's May's legal guardian
>>150540967It's wild to me how much actresses slut up for the red carpet compared to how they always dress them down in the movies.
>>150545954>>150552332WHY THE FUCK WERE YOU ASSHOLES HIDING THIS FROM ME?!
>>150537394...and why Sony has their MJ look WORSE than the MCU's aunt may.
>>150542334>fertile into their 60s and 70s>in the early 1960s>Aunt MayNigga...
>>150564847I'm sorry...
>>150537370Because Tom Holland's Spider-Man was just white Miles Morales (young parent, gifted science prep school, fat asian best friend, mentored by other heroes).
>>150566348/co/ complains about miles sapping peter's vibe all the time. why can't pete steal all miles's good shit?
Marisa Tomei is one of the hottest woman to have ever been put on camera, I don't care how old Aunt May is supposed to be, I'll take any excuse to gawk at her.
>>150537483My issue with Marissa Tomei being Aunt May is that she's used as a lust object for Jon Favreau's self insert Happy. I mean come on, they started dating inbetween movies? Who the hell bought that?
>>150566796If you reread the post you quoted you'll see he's not complaining about this, just stating obvious facts.Peter is MilesNed is GankeMJ is Judge + Barbara
>>150541475We live in the 21st century You can explain that may can’t pay the rent in New York with uncle Ben gone since she’s only one income
>>150537370Does anyone actually care about Aunt May?
>>150537370She and Diane Lane are hot old biddies.
Why have they kept making Aunt May the villain?That would make her the perfect antagonist. Peter wouldn't have to fight some random adversary, but someone close to him.Just imagine the kind, elderly aunt transforming into a sexy young woman in a tight suit.
>>150566796Can't steal what doesn't exist.
