10 Problems With Spider-Man Nobody Wants To Admit
2. Seriously, Let Aunt May Die
Right, so, Aunt May. Even given the way that Marvel time works (i.e. it doesn't, really, but there's some sort of sliding timeline that allows Peter Parker to have left high school, gone through college and become a proper grown up... when in fact he should've aged, like, 52 years since his first appearance), that old codger should be six feet in the ground by now, surely?
Woe by it to call for the head of a sweet, kind elderly woman who never heart a soul, but c'mon. Kill her. It would be the humane thing to do.
The wilting, frail old aunt of Peter Parker made sense as a character back when he was a teen still living with her - even when he moved out and worried about her - but keeping her around still? Not only is it an albatross around Spider-Man's neck, and a little creepy, but just ...unnecessary.
Peter and MJ sold their marriage so she could live. Why? Put her out of her misery! There was a Spidey comic in the mid-nineties where she did die, and it was poetic and moving and lovely. Then they retconned it. Cos every superhero book needs an elderly woman doddering around to liven things up.
