So I hear Marvel Rivals is a thing

Luna: Sees Spider-man and Johnny talking*

Luna: So like, does Johnny’s boyfriend know he was flirting with me earlier?

The Thing: Their relationship is kinda weird, See Spidy totally knows Johnny goes out with so many ladies-

Luna: Well it’s not that weird…

The Thing: No you see the weird part is neither of them know their dating.

Luna:

In 1987, when Spider-Man finally tied the knot and married Mary Jane, Stan Lee held a real-life wedding at Shea Stadium as a publicity stunt.

Stan Lee performed the ceremony and had other Marvel heroes in the audience cheering on.

(i was reminded of this opinion that ive had for years now; bc i just saw a Peter Parker and Aunt May edit, including all their adaptations, but this is mainly directed at the MCU Spider-man, Andrew Garfield's Amazing Spider-man, and the general trend of making Aunt May younger and overall less sickly. this has nothing to do with the quality of those adaptations and their story)

if y'all want to make Aunt May young and hot, i am completely okay with that

but i do also want The People In Charge who decide how young/old Aunt May is to know WHY it matters that she was this old lady to begin with: and that's because Peter doesn't want to tell Aunt May his secret identity due to, not only how much she hates Spider-man, but bc she has a bad heart and is a frail person and he is worried the news will kill her

if you dont do that last part especially, it makes no sense why he is SO desperate for her specifically to never know, which then translates further to why he doesn't want the public to know his secret bc what if the news kills Aunt May

if you want to make Aunt May young and sexy, go ahead. but i specifically need y'all to make that hot Aunt May be chronically ill and disabled. give her a port, you can incorporate an Apple Watch heart-monitor ad even, you can make her an ambulatory mobility-aid user, give her mobile IV therapy, a medical alert dog, whatever you want. but you gotta keep her delicate and frail and have Peter be concerned about her health. it isn't enough for her to have 1 or 10 wrinkles. give me actual "he is worried about her health and he has good reason to be concerned about it" scenes and details

i personally prefer if you also keep in that she hates Spider-man, because i think Aunt May and J. Jonah Jamison play important roles of accountability and how "even people who hate you (or hate a part of you, hate what you do, however you want to spin it) can still be, ultimately, on your side and care about you". because my favorite Spider-man runs/adaptations are the ones where Jamison and Aunt May will defend Peter in a room he isn't in. they won't for Spider-man. but for Peter? of course, he's a good kid. but, to them, Spider-man needs to be held more accountable (and ill stop there because otherwise i will ramble about my favorite ways Jamison and Aunt May hating Spider-man in front of Peter then betters Spider-man as a hero). and it also teaches Peter as Spider-man to humanize the people who hate him, to still want to protect indiscriminately, even protect the people who hate him or take his efforts for granted. because even if they might hate you, there's a p likely chance those haters are still good people

but, sure, Aunt May finding out about Spider-man and supporting Peter as Spider-man is cute, ill admit that. it is nice to see Peter be comforted and have her be stronger than he gave her credit for

and im not terribly opposed to see Aunt May support both sides of Peter (id argue that should moreso be on Harry, MJ, and his other friends and love-interests. as Aunt May hating Spider-man but loving Peter unconditionally is more interesting a dynamic, to me. but, sure, it's nice to see Aunt May support Spider-man before she even knows that's Peter, it's an adorable small-win for Peter, sure)

but more people gotta keep in that Peter— when Aunt May doesn't know that he is Spider-man, regardless of if she likes Spider-man or not— Peter is scared out of his mind to lose the one last family member he has that's alive, who is sweet and wonderful to him, but who is also so much more fragile than his friends and love interests to the point that he's petrified the shock of learning he is Spider-man will KILL HER. not even just villains coming after her, no, scared that THE NEWS itself will KILL HER. and it was a recurring thing in the comics that the shock and stress DID cause her health problems with her heart to flare up so much that Peter would have to go to her hospital-bed and— and btw, she would indeed get a LOT physically better after this— Peter would have to tell her "no, Aunt May, the news isn't true, i'm not Spider-man, i promise", y'know, like a liar. bc the idea of Aunt May finding out freaks him out for a REASON. and if you don't want to do that hospital-bed-liar scene, you don't have to, People In Charge, you can do "the stress of Uncle Ben dying and the funeral landed her under emergency care for a few weeks" or "i remember when Uncle Ben got fired and how that stress made her flare-up to being practically bedridden until he got a new job" or something. he just needs validity to his fear about her health, he needs validity for him being scared the news and stress will kill her, even if she turns out to be fine when he finally tells her. because it adds so much conflict, nuance, and tension to his story, and it makes me sad when Aunt May's poor health is erased from the narrative. it needs to haunt him that him not being Spider-man killed his Uncle Ben, and him being Spider-man might kill his Aunt May next

It’s so fucked up how tiktok culture has made clout-poisoned people turn the public into content, every day I see people minding their business have their entire faces put online for thousands of likes, a couple kissing on the train, a lady dancing across a cross walk, a guy nodding his head to the music at a club, a lady buying a banana at the store, ring camera footage of the neighbors kids being stupid. Just let people live jfc
