Her death did absolutely nothing for me. If Tobey’s May died I would’ve been fucking bawling lol

She exists because they can make jokes about her being hot

Same thing with Ned and MJ, they lack character depth

And the majority of the time they’re sexualizing her too 😭😭 just seems misogynistic #tbh

To be fair she is a woman in the MCU, with a very few limited exceptions, women in the MCU only exist as plot devices for men.

The MCU is terrible at writing anyone in a Spiderman movie that isn’t Peter. We have no idea who MJ or Ned are, same with aunt May

I know people criticize Rosemary’s aunt May for being too old but she is my absolute favorite. She’s so vulnerable and sweet but you can tell where Peter gets his morals from. Any time she is upset it hurts my heart.

This also happens with MCU’s MJ that’s so blanddd, the Sam Raimi’s MJ is so flawed and we knew the depth of her character even more like her dream, motivation, & disappointment towards Peter so we can despise her.

this isn’t just an aunt may problem though. a lot of supporting characters in the mcu also suffer from this

MCU “spider-man” fucking sucked until Brand New Day

Not only that but making her young and hot ruins the dynamic that May and Peter are supposed to have. Peter is supposed to take care of May just as much as she takes care of Peter.

I think in my humble opinion, that the reason would be that, the movie's name is Spiderman, not Aunt May. But that's my guess.

So are Ned and Mj lol, they’re just there to be Peter’s friends and love interest, what do we know about them outside of being Peter’s friends and them being smart?

I feel like Tom’s Peter is the best one but somehow he has the worst spiderman movies if that makes sense. (Aside from the newer one)

ima be real mcu may doesn't even feel like she is related to Peter. They never talk about Ben with and sincerity, or his parents. She almost feels like a teacher that adopted her student. More than a mother figure with her own agency having to raise her nephew.

Rosemary Harris Aunt may is the best depiction of the character in live action and even outside live action she's one of the best, she is THE one
