The Evolution of Aunt May

Anyone else notice that Hollywood has been Benjamin Buttoning the crap out of Aunt May?

Wait, they're rebooting Spiderman again?

I think it was wonderfully lampshaded by Tony in Civil War.

Tomei is in her 50's though. She just looks fantastic for her age. Holland isn't even old enough to order a drink in the US so it's balanced

to be fair peter parker has alao gotten younger again, and him being around 16-18 its not unreasonable for his aunt to be in her 40s

2012 Aunt May is 10 times hotter than 2022, just sayin

You can have your opinion but I've seen both naked and I disagree. I'll also take into account how long ago I saw Tomei naked.

Ok let me shed some light here. I get that I'm not Peter Parker or his Aunt May BUT I'm an Aunt. I became an Aunt at 3 years old. 1/2

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

My sister is 15 years older than me. I became an aunt again when I was 9. It's possible for Aunt May to be young. 2/2

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Marisa Tomei is 51, even if this Peter Park was in his 20s instead of his teens it would make perfect sense age wise

Usually I would agree, but this one's putting him into the MCU where he belongs. It's a necessary evil.

Yeeeeaaaaah, but she was also portrayed as a very frail, older woman. Pete was constantly worried about upsetting her because of her health.

But when she was written, that was the life expectancy. She was very old for that time.

It's not THAT implausible for her to be an older lady.

No, could be any age, really. But she's more likely to be 20-30 years older than Peter than 60-70.

Guys, this one dude wants to know if they mention if she's from his mother or fathers side. Someone should tell him.

Both. The random mutations associated with inbreeding left him vulnerable to radioactive spider venom.

That would still make her about the same age. Potentially younger since statistically women are usually the younger one in a relationship

Parker is quite a common name. They both could have been parkers from birth.

Spiderman is back to being in high school which is what i grew up with, so the aunt being younger makes sense
