There's A Hero In All Of Us | Spider-Man 2 (Tobey Maguire, Rosemary Harris)

She knew he was Spider-Man, and they both go back to pretend that he isn't. Great scene!

[@lucky5757]

Lol. No, she didn't.

[@strongerman4759]

i think she did. because before this scene peter did saving her from dr.octopus in bank robbering and he said to aunt may as "We" then she asking why saying "We" that scene will make sene enough for this point

[@cbgg1585]

@@lucky5757Lmao, she did. Consolidated in Spiderman 3’s revenge scene against Flint Marko. You think she didn’t recognize Peter’s mannerisms when being rescued by Spiderman? You think she didn’t recognize his voice up close after being rescued? She most definitely knew he is Spiderman.

This is the most standout scene for me in the Spider-Man franchise. Honestly, I think it should go right up on par with "Great Power, Great Responsibility".

[@GabrielAlonzo-s1q]

Years later, it holds up as one of the greatest scenes in the entire trilogy and it holds right up par with Uncle Ben's words but her speech was more inspiring and heroic and it felt realistic because it resonates with it when someone who's willing to give some advice to a younger relative needed to hold on a second longer. In other terms, holding a grip to get their life together.

No Spiderman movie has surpassed SpiderMan2, in character development, Story, emotions.

[@Omkar3324]

NO SUPERHERO

[@MatthewNeathery]

I’d say into the spiderverse was the closest but this has heart that captures Spider-Man in the simplest form. It’s not too busy to show a struggle and what a hero should be. When Spider-Man shines brightest is when it can slow down and reflect his personal life along side his superhero responsibilities. Other movies have tried but this one did and set the standard. Aunt May being the voice reason and wisdom is so good.

[@tango9601]

The spider verse movies come close but I feel like spiderman 2 has so many great scenes and so many laughs and it's all in service of a very thoughtful and tasteful Spider-Man story with depth and pretty amazing performances. It feels rewarding to look deeper into these films

[@georgemather9082]

She knows he is Spider-Man. That look on her face and the tone she talks to him says it all.

[@GabrielAlonzo-s1q]

I think she really does knew Peter was Spider-Man in the first film too

"There's a hero in all of us. That keeps their honest, gives us strength, makes us noble and finally allows us to die with pride, even though we have to be steady and give up the things we want the most, even our dreams."

[@beastguillermo]

What does this mean

[@CrookedStepsHardHeaded]

​@@beastguillermoThere's an hero in our everyday's life when we do the most noble things. And sometimes we have to sacrifice the thing we want the most for the greater good.

[@ironick917]

​@@CrookedStepsHardHeaded I believe Tony Stark knew that even when he made mistakes

[@1Guason3]

@@beastguillermo You don't really need a superhero. It's all a symbol for many or example. Sometimes we just need someone who can show us to show strength and courage. To stand up when we are knocked down. Spider-Man in this case is merely a symbol.

Right especially why Iron Man is MCU but Spider-Man is Marvel

[@jerodast]

The wonderful thing looking back on this scene 20 years later is that this movie, and this scene especially, is probably an inspiration to a lot of superhero writers and moviemakers, the same way she describes heroes being an inspiration. It's hard to imagine capturing the tone of the underdog hero better than this. Not as high stakes as all that when it is just superfiction, but it will always hold a very special place in my heart for the rest of my moviegoing life :)

[@Adrian.R850]

She definitely knew Peter was Spider-Man.

[@eoinoconnor5783]

3:24 That look says it all.

[@kellogscornflakes2430]

And after Peter told her the truth about Uncle Ben I think she also knows why he's Spider-Man. Such a perfect written story

And also better then TASM Aunt May i mean all the Aunt May's are good but Sam Raimi's Aunt May is just the best (My Opinion)

​@@eliafouad756I agree this is why I like Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man so much

[@gor9027]

None of the Multiverse Spider-Man movies have been able to capture this level of emotional resonance. And Harris is pitch perfect in this movie serving as Peter's guide to him returning as Spider-Man and being a hero again. . For me, this is still the best Spider-Man movie.

What a fantastic scene. Amazing Trilogy 👏🏻 ❤

[@marcusmariota8147]

I love garfields spiderman, but this may and ben are untouchable

[@tango9601]

I thought this scene was just Oscar/commercial bait until i realized on a rewatch that this really is the conclusion to May's arc in this movie, not only accepting Peter for what happened to Uncle Ben but fully giving him her backing to be the best Spider-Man he can be, also explaining how she could give up her dream (the home she shared with Uncle Ben) and the strength she herself holds

[@aidanfox8219]

I'm still mad that she gave away his comic books.

[@cbgg1585]

In the comics, Aunt May is typically in her 50’s and 60’s. Youngest maybe late 40’s. Canonically, Aunt May is meant to be an older woman.
