The way Aunt May died is actually realistic. Often times someone who is injured doesn't realize right away the extent of their injuries due to adrenaline in the moment.

[@blong217]

Adrenaline is a hell of a drug

[@pedrouchoa472]

The thing is we are not used to see deaths "like that" on movies, that's why it feels weird. Same as old movies when someone dies they close their eyes, and now it is more realistic (eyes open)

Yes and no. She likely had multiple bleeds. With a massive heart attack if a blood clot or fat hit the heart. Or stroke of it hit the brain. Or drown from. Internal bleeding. I hear Terminator 2 had one of the most realistic scene.

[@goji3755]

The ending spell didn't change history, it just erased everyone's memories (and presumably all records) of Peter. Everything we've watched in the MCU has still happened, but now there's giant holes in everyone's memories and databases where Peter Parker used to be.

[@rileyribble6733]

@goji3755 bingo

[@exploringandstargazing]

I like to think that Strange still altered the spell a bit at the end so he at least knows who Peter is. I could be entirely wrong on that front but it's what I like to think as we, the audience, don't know the complete spell from the altered version and probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

[@chandleralves698]

They didn't really specify that, but I would also assume that anything about Peter Parker on the internet was destroyed along with every physical trace of evidence of his existence. I bet that guy with the MJ shirt was really confused 😂

[@ianburns1167]

Exactly, except I don't think there are hole's in people's memories. It makes more sense that there are plausible alternate memories patched over. So for example MJ and Ned were friends with Spider-Man but never knew who he was, got in trouble with MIT because of that, and Peter had the same conversation with the admissions woman except he never took his suit off. Heck, needing to automatically create those plausible fake memories is probably why a memory spell of all things has to access the multiverse in the first place.

[@wolfkniteX]

If it did erase Peter Parker from all databases it would explain why he had to make his own suit. His Stark Suits no longer recognize Peter as an authorized user.

I feel like Andrew's spiderman catching MJ was the most heartfelt and meaningful part of the whole movie. It was exactly what his character needed. Perfection.

[@wyterabitt2149]

As long as you have seen and care in the slightest about the original movie. As an event in it's own right, within a movie in it's own right, it's pretty terrible with no emotional connection to anything. You never find out how she died in the original movie, it just looks like a silly awkward couple of seconds after they land for no reason without that context - of course he caught her, she's a main character and who cares which one of them does the catching.

On it's own it is very weak, by far the worst. As a nostalgia trip that requires watching 5* unrelated films being shoe-horned into things it is technically a good film.

I personally think May had one of the most realistic deaths in a super hero movie. Adrenaline can suppress pain partially or entirely. You can see May is driven by adrenaline and then, she starts shaking, indicating that her adrenaline level decreases and her nervous system slowly shuts down. This combination gives her the feeling she has to catch a break.

Keep in mind this (that comes, partially, from the comics): it's not an accident that Andrew's Spider Man used a different technique to save MJ. Andrew's Spider Man's guilt over Gwen's death is still so present he's been going around in his mind, after all this time, different scenarios in which he can break someone's fall under similar circumstances, without the deadly side effects. As I mentioned, this is not exactly mentioned in the films, but it has been stated in the comics in different moments (and I think it was cool to, kind of, see it portrayed in the film).

When the Murdock reaction isn’t included: pain 😞 Also to clarify a few things, the spell doesn’t change past events, it’s simply a memory spell that erases everyone’s memories of Peter (and presumably physical evidence of his existence but that’s something they’ll need to address in Spiderman 4 just to clarify). So essentially certain events that he was involved still happened, they just don’t remember his involvement cuz they don’t know him now. And in regards to sending the villains back, it doesn’t change the continuity completely or retcon those movies. As shown to us by the Loki series, Marvel’s multiverse/time travel doesn’t work in a linear fashion like back to the future. If you go to a different point and time and change an event, it simply creates a branch. So because all the characters were pulled from different moments in time, each of their branches will have different histories now with different variants of characters potentially. So where Norman returns in Spiderman 1, there’s a branch there. Where Doc Oc returns in 2, Norman is still dead. In Spiderman 3 where Sandman returns, both Goblin and Oc are still dead and so on. Meanwhile for Tobey and Andrew, since they’re from the future, everything that happened in their movies still happened. All of this to say, like the ending of Loki showed, it’s a multiversal cluster now lol

My take on the "weird" Aunt May death, is that she was still feeling the effects of the adrenaline spike that happens during fight or flight. At least, that's how her acting portrayed it when she was speaking like she was ok. Her voice was intentionally shaky and not normal. I could tell right then and there she was a goner. That's why they tell you not to move or move someone after a very bad accident, you can make the internal bleeding or damage way worse.

[@UberTheWolf]

Your take is fact.

[@jjhh320]

Yeah she was in shock. Displayed many of the textbook signs. I can only imagine that glider did a hell of a lot of damage to her internal organs.

[@MrPhooey442]

That does happen sometimes but the way she was hit I seriously doubt you're getting up from that. The weight and speed of the glider would paralyze her or probably crush her heart and lungs. It's a spiderman movie so I'm not bothered by it though lol.

[@CrazeeAdam]

Oh yeah it happens all the time if someone is not killed like instantly from something, they may feel like they can go on..but then the internal bleeding catches up, or they go into shock and die at that point. Like yes, it's probably more common for most to die instantly from somethings like what happened to May, but it can also happen the other way like it does in the movie. :(

@@giannisksanthopoulos4300 The hell does this mean? I've seen the movie before, and I know how the sequence of events goes. Strange is shown that magic exists TWICE (both in the big acid trip scene and in a smaller, subtler demonstration a bit later) and it is AFTER these demonstrations that he has the line, "Even if my hands could do that, I'd just be waving them around. How do I get from here to there?" And it's only just after the Ancient One shows him Master Hamir performing magic one-handed and just before she forcibly drops him off at Everest that she tells him about letting go of his preconceptions and surrendering control (while Strange is struggling with the SLING RING, no less!) Now, Ned isn't as doubtful as Strange was in his debut movie. He's fully in awe of all this superhero stuff, including Doctor Strange's magic, and thinks he may magic as well - "My _lola_ always said we were magic..." - but doesn't dwell on it from there. And besides, opening a portal with the sling ring is a comparatively basic spell, and not necessarily one that he's mastered (he doesn't know how to close it, after all). So yeah. I thought this made sense, and if you think it doesn't then you really need to rewatch Doctor Strange to refresh your memory (as I did just 4 days ago at the time of writing this) instead of just jumping to conclusions.

[@whatsawhizzerwebnovels4927]

Too many people seem to think improvised means they did it on the spot and took the first time perfectly. It could be something they randomly said during rehearsal, the director overheard and says, "Yes! Keep that!" In fact, the vast majority of "improved" lines are done this way, with everyone on the same page when the line is finally dropped. Sometimes, one of the actors won't be aware so they get a realistic reaction from them. Other times, the script will just say "he says something funny" and then the guy will come up with ten or twenty takes and they just pick the funniest ones during editing. That's done for a lot of improve comedians... like Robin Williams in the genie, from what I understand, 90% of his lines was just "Robin make a funny."

I watched a video essay recently that said people typically watch action movies for the action, they sit through the in-between moments to get to the action. Marvel has changed that and people now go to these movies for the in-between moments. The three Peters shooting the breeze. The after party scene in Age of Ultron. Wanda and Vision cooking together in Civil War. These are the kind of moments we eat up as fans and I think Marvel knows that now.

Fun fact, it took me a while to realise, but the reason the spell didn't work the first time was because peter wanted 5 people to remember, but Strange said 6.

[@ThePonderer]

18:45 I really like the way this movie challenges the viewer and Peter alike. Our pragmatic, even selfish instinct is to say “none of the lives of these villains is worth the damage and hurt that’s been caused,” but May and the movie insist that what matters, what “Great Power and Great Responsibility” *means,* is that Peter owes it to TRY and help wherever he can, even if it hurts, even if it’s not practical, even if it means he regrets it later. To be a hero is to try anyway, in the face of all that, to help.

mmhmm. Spiderman I think by many is known as one of the strongest MCU (meaning comics as well and other media) heroes. Not only is he just as strong as someone like Captain America, or maybe even stronger by a good amount, he's incredibly smart for his age, great with gadgets and inventions to possibly stop opponents in their tracks and has his Spider Sense that can give him an edge against harder people that would otherwise outmatch him. Probably like literal god like heroes like Thor, Hulk or Captain Marvel (as far as the Movies go) are overall stronger than him in all reality.

Always fascinates me when people say "I'm surprised Peter has lasted this long" against Strange. People don't realise how powerful Peter truly is and that he restrains himself an INSANE amount. If he let go there's very few people in Marvel he couldn't tear apart with ease.

[@joeshlong9614]

I’m a die hard spidey fan but I don’t agree with that completely. Spider-Man def holds back a lot, but there are tons of people “stronger” in the comics. Dr strange can whip out black holes and alter the fabric of reality, spidey just can’t really compete with that. The MCU fight only happened because strange underestimated Spider-Man and he thought of the battle more as like a dog running away from his owner with a chew toy. If it was a battle to the death, I think it would end differently.

[@NeetSheth]

Yea. I do agree peter always holds back and he is much more stronger than what he is shown as. But that still doesn't change anything. His opponent is freaking Doctor Strange dude. Strength don't work against Strange. No matter how hard peter tries, Strange has the power to take him down with a snap. The only reason peter won against Strange here is because Strange was holding back so so much. And it is clear why he would hold back. Peter is not an enemy. He is his little friend. He didn't wanna harm him. He just wanted him to listen to him.

It's weird. You grow up with fictional characters in your life in various iterations of themselves, but them as an idea, a 'person', can often be part of our lives longer than many of our flesh and blood friends. Fictional or not, they can still have an effect on our lives by the emotional impact or lessons they leave behind. I first seriously got into Spiderman while in a military hospital waiting to be discharged. I didn't have enough for a book, so picked up a comic from the shop to pass the time. In it, Spidey had his back broken and was wrestling with how that would affect him as a hero and as a person. Meanwhile me, in a wheelchair, the coincidence of it and seeing him handle the situation... brought me to tears. That lesson of "With great power comes great responsibility" is a famous adage now and he's known worldwide as a role model for many young folks despite not being real. It's just amazing to me how impactful even imaginary individuals can be on our lives when we give them the chance.

Just an FYI, all the spell did was erase people’s memories of Peter Parker specifically. It didn’t alter the past.

It erased Peter Parker's existence from the world. And it obviously affected more than just memories because he can't go to school (no records) and he can't use the Iron Spider suit (he can't access Karen anymore). But Spider-Man still exists so anytime Spider-Man was involved that's all people think. That Spiderman was involved they don't remember that Peter Parker had anything to do with it so like for instance, suppose Tony Stark was alive, he would remember that he went to space with Spider-Man, but he wouldn't remember anything about Peter Parker himself. It would have just been Spider-Man.

For those who are wondering about the spell: Bascially it erased everyone's memories about Spiderman real identity. All the events still happened, they remember there was a fights.

If you re-watch the Amazing series again you'll notice Andrew really wasn't dorkier here. Hes very aloof, but when he's comfortable? Especially with Gwen? That's how he'd act like he does with his "brothers." It's such good character work and I believe it's part of the reason they really worked to make his depiction get some clear redemption (not just his Peter). They gave him middle brother syndrome with the others as a reflection of his depiction being also treated like the middle brother. And he basically showed with better writing he'd have been remembered more favorably. Its a era for revisiting roles for some secondary appreciation, first Andrew and then Hayden Christensen.

This movie has to be my favorite Spiderman movie ever, and that's including Into the Spiderverse, which I love. It's such a love letter to the character and the history of his films, getting down to the heart of what makes Spiderman a great hero: the responsibility. He always does the right thing, even if it's hard or seems impractical, and this movie is all about that. He's not trying to stop a theft or save a city, he's just trying to give these villains a second chance because it's the right thing to do. Plus, the way they used the other Spidermen and their villains to send that message was fantastic. I was so worried that they were just going to make fun of the older movies, especially Tobey's because of how campy and over the top they can be, but they respected them and treated them seriously, even making Willem's Green Goblin (arguably the campiest of all Tobey's enemies) the main villain. And they gave Tobey and Andrew screentime and character rather than just reducing them to a cameo at the end. For context I grew up with the Tobey movies as my Spiderman, my little brother had Andrew as his Spiderman, and my sisters had Tom as their Spiderman, and we all left the theatre loving the movie for how they treated all our favorite characters. And lastly, I like how this took some of the criticism of the Tom Holland movies to heart. I think one of the biggest notes on MCU's Spiderman, and certainly one I agreed with, was that he felt too much like an MCU character and not "Spiderman" per say. He got a bunch of tech from Tony Stark, was going to space and fighting Thanos by his third appearance, and was being set up to be this leader among the heroes like the "next Iron Man." None of this was bad necessarily, but I used to say that Tom had the best "superhero movies" while Tobey had the best "Spiderman movies." But by the end of this movie, Tom really felt like Spiderman to me, living alone, down on his luck, no one knowing his secret identity, and having rent due. That final swing really solidified Tom as Spiderman to me. Such and amazing movie!

May was in shock, and probably had compartment syndrome. She didn't know that she had terrible internal injuries, and just thought she had the wind knocked out of her. The memory spell didn't change the past, it only made everyone forget Peter. Imagine a world wide blind spot where Peter just wasn't there for everyone. Things happened that he was involved in, but you'd only remember other people involved, not him. Memory is already so malleable that it's considered terrible evidence in court. What if your brain just decided that tiny bit of information wasn't important, so it let it go. Great reaction as always, see you on the next one!

The adrenaline can help with maintaining movement and consciousness through a fatal injury until it fades then unless you're in the hospital or receiving care, it's the last thing the body can do to save itself. The thing about Aunt May dying and everyone forgetting he's Spider-Man is the spell didn't affect time but it did affect everyone who had met him as Spider-Man. Tony first met him that way as well as Happy and all the Avengers. He has no one else, and in an added twist I believe because MJ and Ned met Peter BUT found out he's Spider-Man Strange's spell made them forget Peter entirely because that's what he unfortunately had to do. So now he's basically all alone and no longer with the Avengers he's the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man and his story is kind of the reverse of the others.

You are correct, internal bleeding from a crash and the shock wave form an explosion that close affects internal organs and that would be unnoticeable until it's too late and depending on how severe the internal injuries are you could last several minutes or seconds, specially if you are in shock and with adrenaline pumping.

Mays death was probably more realistic than one would realize. The adrenaline is what kept her up and blinded to the critical wound. Also there’s a parental instinct to not show pain or weakness in front of your child so they don’t worry about you and you’re more concerned that they make it out alive than yourself.

[@reflectionist]

I love how self-aware the "Tobey's Back" bit is, it comes up and even Tobey's kind of over it, but then Andrew's like, "Do you want me to crack it?" And you realize... P-Tobey has probably LOOONG since abandoned the idea of finding anybody in his world that's strong enough to (compassionately) crack his back. So this inside joke thing was kind of turned into a "hey, that's cool" moment.

[@nullunit]

May isn't stealing Uncle Ben's line, MCU Peter didn't have the Uncle Ben moment really, and I thought it was clever they gave it to May and after so many films with her, building that bond, it hit way harder. I think the task of reacting had you so focused trying to spot stuff that the impact of it missed you. The last act was a rollercoaster ride for me, the 3 Peters were funny and heartfelt and then MCU Pete just taking L's. Post Wipe, He was never existed, hence the GED books so he can get that diploma, never built relationships with MJ and Ned, May is dead so . He is literally alone in the universe, it is a huge bummer and I am excited to see how they reconcile it in his next stand-alone film, whenever that is. The wonkiness of the Peter's erasure gives them more options in the long run. I think it was also a chance for Sony to try and decouple Spider-Man from MCU again so they have more freedom to tell their own stories. They could have the Holland Sony films, and then a different MCU Holland SM as well, with separate continuity. They could even have the SM that Venom is going to find in his world be Andrew Garfield if he was into it. Or they could introduce a live action Miles for Hardy-Venom's SM.

Fun fact, in the comics Uncle Ben didn't originally say the line, it was just a in a text bubble.

[@goji3755]

I think it's perfectly reasonable to assume that Aunt May was quoting their universe's Uncle Ben in that moment. Something about the way she says it leads me to believe that it was a phrase their Ben may have lived by it as a personal motto, and she's referencing him in this moment to reassure Peter that he'd been doing the right thing.

Damn lowkey, understanding real life trauma and medical emergencies and how we as humans react it made May’s scene 10x more emotional for me in the theatre, you’re right at first you think yay she’s standing so there’s no death, but she walks shaky, talks shaky, poor balance… then when she collapses and she’s actually bleeding out, oof trust me that human realization hit. I feel bad you saw it with a more innocent understanding 😢

[@Kamakakak]

On a cool side note: Otto’s trick to fool Electro actually was also to stop the electricity for the spidey’s. His arms are resistant so they wouldn’t conduct, once he makes contact he frees them

[@zacman50]

I always loved the MCU's subtle unspoken treatment of Uncle Ben's death & "with great power" (like when Aunt May freaks out about Peter going missing in Homecoming, or when Tony tells Peter he's officially an Avenger in Infinity War) but it worked so well in this AND it totally subverted expectations. The writers had everybody like "OH NO!!!...lol nvm ofc not...WAIT OHHH NOOOOOO!!!"

[@jasonduran8324]

Yeah, it seemed like the were trying to say it without saying it… just trying not to be redundant. But then when she dropped it in that scene…. I was like Ohhhh. And then “oh, yeah, she’s dead.”

[@VanArchon]

Aunt May was running on adrenaline, which is how she was able to stand up and walk around. Unfortunately, she was bleeding out and doing those things accelerated that which lead her to go into shock which is why she kept repeating herself after she collapsed. Also, Tom Holland's Peter hasn't ever had an Uncle Ben that we know of so in the MCU, Aunt May took Uncle Ben's place in the narrative. Since the multiverse is infinite, there is also at least one universe where he had an Uncle Ben that he lost, who wasn't married to an Aunt May. Lastly, the ending spell only altered memories and not history. The bigger question though is how it affected any kind of records of Peter's existence. Like I don't think it actually removed any historical evidence of Peter, so his birth certificate is still on file, his school records are as well (which is how he'd still be able to get an apartment), just that anyone that was involved in creating, editing, and filing those records don't remember ever doing so and the reason why he's deciding to take the GED instead of finishing out his senior year is both so he could keep his distance from Ned and MJ and also because of how awkward and tedious it would be to have to reintroduce himself to all his teachers and the other students.

[@thomaswedge42]

Uncle Ben definitely exists in the MCU otherwise May wouldn't have been May Parker (as she married into the Parker family), also in 'Far from home' Peter's briefcase had Uncle Ben's initials on it BFP (Benjamin Franklin Parker) May also wears Ben's wedding ring on a necklace around her neck which can be seen sometimes. Also in the Zombie's What If episode the Peter in that timeline mentions Uncle Ben when listing people he's lost, that Universe is basically the same up until the Zombie Virus was brought back from the Quantum Realm. So he definitely existed in the MCU and died like the others but unlike the other Uncle Ben's it seems like he didn't teach him the lesson about great power before he died, which may be why the MCU Peter doesn't feel like Peter a lot of the time and feels more like a blend of Miles and Peter (Ned is practically a MCU clone of Miles roommate Ganke Lee in the comics, so much so that 'Into the Spider-Verse' had to reduce Ganke's role in the film.)

[@VanArchon]

@@thomaswedge42 Ah yes, thank you for that correction about the briefcase and wedding ring. I did think about What If Zombies but I completely spaced on up to what point that events were parallel with the prime universe.

[@matthewwilliams3579]

Miles Morales does in fact exist in the MCU, his uncle talked about him during Spiderman: homecoming. Donald Glover played the criminal Peter unsuccessfully tried to interrogate Aaron Davis. That does give a possibility of doing an origin story for Miles in the future.

[@edboymovies]

Aaron definitely mentioned his nephew. personally I was really happy with how they treated Miles in into the Spider-verse so I'm not too keen on seeing yet another original story for Miles. I think it would be interesting since he is presumed to travel dimensions/universes the version we follow can be the one to show up in the future if they go that way. And if they definitely do I think it would be cool having Shamiek Moore as live action Miles.

[@jediclonekag13]

The spell that Doctor Strange casted in the end did not alter the past in any way. It just erased everyone's memories of Peter Parker specifically. Everyone only knows that Spider-Man exists, but they do not know that Peter Parker is Spider-Man.

[@JITCompilation]

and they also forgot Peter Parker exists

[@jsw309]

I loved how they changed the “with great power comes great responsibility” moment in this movie. Typically Peter hears it and learns that inaction, and shirking responsibility that comes with his power, leads to terrible consequences. Instead, Aunt May told this Peter the lesson when he was already being a hero, and had been a hero for years. He had to learn that sometimes being a hero and doing the right thing still means people you love can be hurt, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do the right thing. That lesson is a big reason why he decides not to tell MJ, I think. He’s making a sacrifice to keep her safe, knowing that his life has inherent dangers and difficulties because of who he is. It’s similar to Tobey’s Spider-Man in that way, though the lessons he learned to lead him to that decision that are very different, and I think that’s a fun thing they did with this movie. Also, I loved how all the cameos and stuff that would normally be fan service and shallow were all critically important to the plot of this movie and to the character development of this Spider-Man. I thought this movie was incredibly well done. Your reaction was great. Thanks for the awesome video :)

[@subj3kt172]

Can we take a moment to appreciate the writing during the scene where Toby was telling Andrew to work on his self-talk and that he was "amazing," as in, he was from The Amazing Spiderman movies? (Note: It was cut from this reaction... along with Murdock /cry)

[@fireprophetproductions4967]

He said "forget" not "erase their memory." The spell's memory wipe didn't go back in time, it just went on from that point like forgetting something would work irl. You just don't know it anymore. That's what the spell did at the end of the movie.

[@josephstanfield6605]

People could function normally for some time with internal bleeding. Just because they are up and walking around doesn't mean they are automatically alright. People get head trauma, walk around for hours, and can just instantly drop dead. So Aunt May's death really wasn't that weird

It's crazy to think that the Goblin was right about that for all of them in the first Spider-Man. As he said after capturing Spider-Man and having the 'heart to heart', "In spite of everything you've done for them, eventually they will hate you." Granted, that's largely about media spinning the truth for viewership and it always seems like the people actually love him. But they're all impacted by media hate at some point.
