I've been a "Marvelite" for years. "Marvelite" as in I enjoy the comic books in the Marvel Universe. Years as in I have comic books I bought when the published price was 12 cents. I have copies of "Not Brand Ecch." featuring the Amazing Forbush man. More specifically I've been a Spider-Man fan. I relate to the nerd who couldn't seem to do anything right -- even with superpowers. I've enjoyed other Marvel characters but it was Spidey who won me over.
I've watched most of the Marvel movies but the "Captain America - Civil War" movie was NOT one I wanted to see. I don't like conflict and how can a thing be any more conflicted than something about war within a team? But a Marvel fan can't avoid a franchise movie forever. It might have been sooner if I'd known Spidey was involved. That's what prompts this post.
I've known Peter Parker's Aunt May for years. She has a sweet smile but she's frail, old and wrinkled. At least she has been for most of my life. What have they done with Aunt May? I mean I loved the old homemade uniform in this movie. But that isn't Aunt May.
It reminds me of the country bumpkin who took his family to town for the first time. They were awed by the size and noise and crowds. In the department store he saw two elderly ladies enter the elevator and watched as the doors closed. When the doors re-opened two attractive young women walked out. At which point dad sent his young sons off with instructions to bring their mother to this marvelous place.
She may be attractive but she is not Aunt May.
