If Aunt Mae is making Peter eat sandwiches of cottage cheese and mashed string beans, I guarantee you Peter did not "forget" his lunch. He left that well-intended abomination behind on purpose!!!
Of course! Peter is weak and frail ‘cuz he’s constantly skipping meals!
I'm just waiting for DC to do that else-world story where Alfred becomes a masked Vigilante called " The Black Butler" 😂
Alfred has been a masked vigilante several times in the Silver Age: the Eagle 🦅 was one of his identities iirc
He's the macaroni in the Harley Quinn cartoon
Sounds like an anime that I might watch. (Actually, aren't there several versions of "Battle Maids" in Anime? The only one I can remember off-hand is the one in _Black Lagoon._ )
@@tarmaque black butler if I remember right is about a young boy who contracted to a demon and the demon is his butler. I may be off cause I didn't watch it.
He's simply one hell of a butler
'The Web Spinster.' That may be the greatest wordplay Marvel has ever achieved.
When Peter eventually has children, she could be called Spider-Gran!
There is Mayday Parker if that counts
The Spider-persona we need but didn't deserve
The way Peter talked about his lunch makes me feel like he knows what Aunt May thinks about him and he goes along with it on purpose to make her feel needed. It's like he's trying to give her someone to care for since she doesn't have Uncle Ben anymore
But Uncle Ben is still alive in that reality.
In the original comics we don't see May treating Peter like this until after Ben dies. When he's still alive she (and Ben) are treating him like a normal teenager, not warning him to wear an extra sweater or to take an umbrella because it might rain. So it really could be the loss of Ben that causes her to dote on him so much.
I need Spider-Ma'am in the next Spiderverse movie.
We do need spider ma-am in the next spiderverse movie
spiderman uncle ben and spider man aunt may is perfect
that would be great! :')
fighting cans deluxe ya that would be perfect since uncle ben died her universe it would be emotional and it would be great to see there reunion
PLEASE do a vid on Aunt May as "Golden Oldie", Herald of Galactus! (yes, really! also, love your vocal renditions of the captions)
Yes!
Fuck the hell yes!
Marvel Team-up#137 I say as I came to make this same comment. Marvel definitely needs to bring back Assistant Editor's Month.
She was also Captain Universe once. As Wikipedia notes, "Oldest Human ever to become Captain Universe."
lol, i just mentioned that, i like that one
"And she squirts it out to break her fall"
(Laughs, then gags)
was about to say that "words do have meanings outside their use in porn you know" ..but seeing how google produces two pages of nothing but sex related hits, I guess the battle has been lost for this one.
First non-sex hit btw was Squirt soda.. "Whether you’re serving Squirt poolside or enjoying a yummy Squirt mixer, the citrus-flavored favorite is a guaranteed good time. Check out all the tasty Squirt variations below."
6:49 I'm dying!
“What if Hulk was a barbarian? But we’re not here for that.” Cruelty, thine name is Sasha.
One for me... one also for me. Hysterical.
His frailty a replacement for the whole fact aunt may was always called frail and on occasions fainting or having heart attacks
My favorite Aunt May story was the Civil War arc where the Chameleon tried to kill her after Peter outed himself as Spider-Man. Let’s just let that sink in: Aunt May single-handedly took down a supervillain *in canon!*
I love that Peter reacts the same way May would in the same era.
aunt may is at the age,where she can produce her own cob webs,so she was already half way there with spiderman powers.🤣
"What if?" thinks it answers the important questions. But it never answers "What if my otp became canon?"
I love "What If?" stories, I remember one where there was a Venom-Hulk and a Vemon-Thor. "What if Spiderman kept his six arms?" was fun too. I think we need a modern spider-man character with six arms.
Technically there is a six arm spider-man but probably not what you are looking for. He goes by Doppelganger, fairly mindless and evil but is kind of the what if Peter had kept to the arachnid nature that he was turning into during the six arm saga.
@@lagbait3076 There wasn't a "six-arm saga" in the comics - I wonder if you're thinking of the 90s animated series when he gained extra arms. Originally Peter took a serum to rid himself of his spider-powers, but instead it gave him 4 extra arms. It only lasted for 2 issues.
Doppleganger is Spidey's duplicate from the Infinity War mini-series where the evil Warlock (the Magus) created evil dopplegangers of all the heroes. They all disappeared at the end of IW but Spidey's stuck around for "reasons".
This is a pretty awespme premise for What-If, maybe we'll see good old Spider-May in Spider-Verse 2.
Also, 18 years old and loving Werthers.
I've always wondered just how old Aunt May is. She's drawn as if she's on the high side of 100, but then how old were Peter's parents when they had him? May is the sibling of either his mother or father, and being most siblings are within two to four years of each other, and Peter is a high school student of around sixteen years, were his parents in their sixties when he was conceived? Senior pregnancies do happen from time to time, but weren't they also spies?
There was a very high age difference between Uncle Ben and his younger brother.
I implore you to read Untold Tales of Spider-Man -1 that takes place before Peter was born and revolves around Peter's parents. His parents look like they're in their thirties but Aunt May and Uncle Ben look just as old as they are in Amazing Fantasy 15, it's extremely confusing. I love it.
Spider-Ma'am has returned in the Spider-Geddon: Vault of Spiders story line and in the Miles Morales recent Spider-Verse #2. She is always a delight, thank you for making this.
I love Spider-Ma'am! Did they even go into how she saved Ben from the burglar? I haven't read this issue in awhile. Also, I love how Ben and Peter are her "tech support" in her recent appearances. P.S. I love What If: for awhile there in the 1990s, it was the only comic book that my local Walgreens sold monthly, so the title has a special place in my heart.
Technically all of this story took place on the same day that Peter originally got bit by the spider. Ben isn't killed by the burglar until weeks later.
I just binge-watched this entire channel. As a Gen-X comics geek, I appreciate the history breakdown. There's so much focus on comic book-derived movies and streaming shows that the history of where this all came from is getting lost. Thanks for this and looking forward to future videos.
...coming soon MayPool (toyed with DeadMay 🤔)
I love What If. I love this one especially. It reminds me of Supregran, a hilarious English show from the eighties with a similar premise
Loved that show.
love what ifs, they're quick inspiring thought experiments without all that soap opera. 8:00 maybe obvious but just to put it into words, frailness of Peter in this story was mirroring the originals where it was interesting added tension to keep crime fighting a secret from the recently widowed elderly aunt May because she couldn't have taken the stress
You should examine the Aunt May tale of... the Golden Oldie! Or anything from Marvel's "Assistant Editor's Month" event of 1984.
They made Aunt May's home looks like the livingroom of All in the Family.
I’m so old, that the disconnected from youth joke about lunch made me laugh harder due to the modem dialing noises.
Can you do all your what-ifs? Like a series?
You're officially my favorite comic UA-camr. Your ainalysis is fantastic and fun.
I love her scripting. It adds an authentic voice to the words. Brings her to life
Look man, everyone knows Aunt May is OG, so we need to just get over it.
Please keep the what-if commentary coming! it's nice to look back at when comics didn't have to be about something and could just be fun.
Your "weathered" Aunt May voice is spot on !!!
favorite moment: spidey-sense flare around aunt may noticing peter parker's lunch
The Spider Ma'am story is more like a something that you would see in the comic.
Omg! I love your Aunt May voice. So on point. Lol!
OMG! I had this comic as a kid when it first came out! It has always been one of my favorite what if comics, second to “what if Beast kept mutating.” (Please do a video on that one-the ending is soooo melancholy)
May looked evil looming over Peter while musing about him being so sensitive.
The part where you realize you have no idea what a cool lunch is was amazing xD and then you added the dial up sound, well played!
I love how Sasha's voice for non-spider-powered Peter is extra nasally.
Aunt May: "Something is happening to me"
Miles: "It's just puberty"
Reading What If! when I was younger was traumatizing. I was not used to things going awry for my heroes and it threw me for a loop. Now a days, I can't get enough of them.
Long time fan of What If's I also really liked eXiles, the time they took the What If worlds and created a super team to go from world to world. I'd love to see the MCU play around with that idea, but two of it's big arcs feature Hyperion so there's some possible issues there.
6:55
“Not usually what that are talking about”
Ok, this one for a GOOD laugh out of me
ya gotta love how fictional characters don't really talk or think like human beings half the time XDDDDD
Love her "sensible" boots!
'What If' is a title that Marvel could publish forever. The possibilities are endless.
Spider Ma’am.... love it!
Didn’t know about this What if. Thanks Sasha!
No more stuck jars in the Parker house hold!
Love these videos, hope you have fun making them!
I have always loved the What If comics. One of my favorite What If comics was What if Spider-Man had kept the power of Captain Universe. That was a really good one.
It was Uncle Ben always asleep that I found the funniest part.
Your old lady voice is on point! Paired with Peters voice. Chefs kiss 🤌🏻
To us youngins a "cool lunch" would be an order from a nearby popular local fast food restaurant since school food is considered yucky (although I personally liked my school lunches) and home cooked food made you seem like a Mommy's boi
This is a fun little "What-If" ...
I would like it if you can do more of these including Aunt May..
By all means, the more What If?!! the better. The entire MC2 universe sprung out of a What If?! about if Peter and MJ's unborn child who died during the Clone Saga had lived, and is a favorite of mine. I loved your Aunt May voice. Lol!
Peter Parker at his most Steve Urkel yet. All this tale needs is Aunt May skittering across a ceiling like that grinning devil granny from Exorcist 3.
OK, I’ve been trying to avoid making this comment because your wit and commentary on comics both classic and new is wonderfully cogent; I truly enjoy your insight but dammit, your lipstick is consistently on point!
Also, your Aunt May voice will always make me laugh. Out loud, even.
Your "Aunt Mae" voice tho😂😂😂 AMAZING
I read this when it first came out (yeah, I'm an old OLD man). I had just started reading What IF with issue 20. I actually like this story, it had kind of a Spidey Super stories meets 60's Adam West Batman feel to it. Admittedly they were a bit over the top with the whole meek and frail pre-bite Peter. Did I say a bit? I meant a LOT over the tip with that, but it was fun. Although I did wonder how often she would be able to screw up baking bread in the same way to keep herself stocked up on web-dough. web-bread? But then I have always been more curious than cautious. To be honest this story was almost silly enough to have been included in Issue 34, the one done by Fred Hembeck...ALMOST. All in all, despite a couple of glaring plot holes it was a really fun story and kind of left me wanting to know more about that particular world.
"they were a bit over the top with the whole meek and frail pre-bite Peter."
Actually this is straight out of the early ASM stories. May is all over Peter telling him not to forget his umbrella, to wear an extra sweater, that he shouldn't go out at night because a super-villain is on the loose, etc.
4:58
This was such an unexpected comic....
uncle ben just snoozing throughout the story
6:52 True, it usually does mean something else to the younger generation - but to be fair, that can sometimes also involve yeast...
3:50 the item you're looking for is Yogos and/or Gripz... those were the holy grail of awesome lunches
Spider-gram catching the candyman lol. Love this!
Just wanted to acknowledge the fantastic pun at 6:23. She's a "spinster"! So awesome.
I am 100% here for Spider-Ma'am. This needs to be more of a thing.
They need to give her a Symbiote Arc where she gains the ability to cure cancer and call her Auntie Venom
Aunt May was cookin Peter the whole way Hilarious
Ok. Here’s how to easily pronounce “burglar “.
Thief
Also, where’s Uncle Ben?
The burglar's name is The Burglar. When he returns in ASM #200 he is literally called (by Spidey and the narration as "The Burglar").
SM3 calls him David Carradine, and a later story in the comics has daughter return, and she's named Jessica Carradine. But the Burglar never officially gets a name in the comics.
He was the dude sleeping on the chair when aunt mat got back so……there’s uncle Ben he ain’t dead
ha ha ha ha that big ole "CHOMP"!!!!! the BOMB!!!! Sass-sha, your What-If retrospectives are great, please continue diving into those dusty old boxes, MAD LOVE Woman! God bless, and PEACE.
What is going on in the panel at 3:05? Is everyone amazed at an octogenarian running? 🤔
I always thought of Aunt May as the fifth member of the Golden Girls.
Your Aunt May is your best “voice”. Great job with these videos!
I enjoyed your voiceovers. Especially that of aunt may.
The Peter voice lowkey sounds EXACTLY like entrapta
Aunt May😹😹😹Thanks a lot for these I need really good comic recommendations 🥺
This wacky story is the kind of thing I would expect in the Archie books; and I love it.
Spider-Ma'am? Come on, I'd have gone with Spider-Gran myself.
4:01 oh no, Sasha threatening to pack Cottage Cheese and mashed string beans for her kids.
Honestly aunt may rushing to give Peter his lunch sounds like a hero to me I hate school food thank God I graduated
LMAO i LOVE this one
it's perfect! lol
Spider-Ma'am
this is so awesome, i can't-
"Any port in a storm"
I love Saga! You should do an episode on how awesome that comic is.
Another great video! And yes, Werther's Candy is indeed a hill werth dying on.
Sasha's aunt may voice has be like 😅😅😅😅😅
You had fun with this one didnt you???
The best part of your channel is that you have ENDLESS content potential
Leapfrog's costume looks like he stole from Hydra's closet.
I am here for that Aunt May voice.
I love watching your videos! Spider Ma'am was so much fun! Please share any other Spider Ma'am books as you are able. Aunt Mae rocks and so do you!!
In Peter’s defense Aunt May always looks like she’s about to keel over and die. It’s blows my mind that TASM and the MCU were the first places to make her under 1,000 years old. With all the wacky Spidey stories how about a ‘What if Aunt May was only 40 years old?’
"Did he take all the Werthers?". That sucks!
i like the one where aunt may became a herald for galactus when he was babysitting franklin
"Spider-Gran" 🤣🤣🤣
I saw Spiderverse back-to-back with Homecoming and Far From Home a couple of weeks ago, and after seeing this What If review wouldn’t mind seeing Marisa Tomei as Spider May ;)
Aunt Mays Voice LOOOOOOL Salute
Hope you do the What If's about Dr. Doom as a Hero, Captain America as President of the United States, and Marvel Team-Up # 137, with Aunt May & Franklin Richards and Galactus!
If you ever hunger for more Spider-What ifs, you could always pick the one with the crazy story where Peter's clone made by the Jackal actually survives. Could you imagine? Almost as insane as that story about Hulk becoming a barbarian from the issue you were talking about.
The hilarious part of that What If story is the ending where (spoiler)
.
.
.
.

Spidey and the clone decide to share their life. Real Spidey is Spider-man Mon/Wed/Fri and Peter Parker Tues/Thu/Sat, and Clone Spidey is the opposite (I think they alternated Sundays). This means at the end of every day they'd have to sit down and compare notes about what happened to them during the day so they wouldn't be lost the following day.
So .. what happens if one of them starts dating someone? This is sounding more and more like David Cronenberg's Dead Ringers.
I must admit, I'm really digging her costume!
I'm a casual comic reader, but really enjoy the ones I do read. I got into them because I was (am) a G.I.Joe fan and really liked collecting the old comics. My dad would travel to Milwaukee frequently and there was a book store I always had him bring me to when we went there. Upstairs is where they kept the comics and he'd always get me a couple.
I also remember looking at my older brothers comics and he got me some for Christmas. I know one was a Captain Marvel (Genis-Vell) graphic novel. It was shortly after he bonded with Rick Jones and it was so bright and fun! I read it so much the cover fell off. Unfortunately later on they got too "serious". I liked the buddy cop or team stories. Especially with Captain Marvel. It was great having a super powered being that was oblivious to our culture bound to an average guy, superhero fanboy.
What If? was always some of the best Marvel. It gave us Tempest (Logan and Ororo's daughter), not to mention "what if the characters figured out they are in a comic book?"
I suggest, if you can find it, the Marvel Team-Up 137A story, from Assistant Editors' Month, 1984: Aunt May & Franklin Richards vs. Galactus. This takes place long before Franklin Richards' reality-altering powers had been established. It's not a hoax, a what-if, or an imaginary story. It's worse.
At the end of the issue it's revealed the whole thing was a dream.
Not just a dream, but apparently a massively shared dream!
