I was hoping Aunt May was gonna do something similar here after Gwen's death but she didn't.

I felt her speech about packing Ben's stuff away came close, as if she would rather him serve the city and risk his life for others than waste away and do nothing. “Too bad about that spider guy, too bad he’s disappeared, seems everybody really needs him.." Peter's watching the bulletin, turns it off and then May pushes her point. But indeed, her speech works just fine even if she doesn't know about his double life.

Scenes in the second movie just make this even more clear. I hope in the third movie she just comes out and says it as it would be something we haven't really seen before in these movies.

When Aunt May was all "people need Spider-Man" and this whole speech, I'm like... didn't Rosemary Harris give this same speech in Spider-Man 2 ten years ago? I'd love to see them make light of the fact that she's always known.

Also... at the end of the film she just mentions "that spider guy" in a throwaway kind of manner, not being suggestive or anything. You'd figure she would be super concerned if she even suspected he was risking his life everyday fighting crime. Come on, she doesn't know.

That's how it was in the comics - on her deathbed, after Peter tells her, she smiles and says she knew all along. She definitely knows. From her "people keep secrets" speech, to the look she gives him at the end of the first one when he comes home all cut up, to the comment about "that Spider-Guy" and post-Gwen. They played up the same thing in the Raimi films - why? Because Aunt May is always supposed to know deep down, but she doesn't draw attention to it out of respect to him.

Sure, but there's also this: Having options to chose from, I would take that one. I WANT to see that moment, or a variation of it, I think it would make for a thrilling, very rich moment of Spidey cinema. And like I stated above, I don't think it would make sense at all for Aunt May to know and not level with him about it. She worries about him in every single aspect of his life, but she's gonna shrug off him being a superhero? C'mon.

By saying "pretty clear" I meant to some people---but she didn't say it out loud so ah......maybe not. But I think Field sure played it that way and Webb didn't change it.
