Hm, not dumb enough, how about...
Peter: I am uncle Ben.
Hey, if you guys who are hoping for OMD to be addressed get what you want, you'll certainly be happier with it than people like me, I'll only be mildly pleased, if even that much.
What, is he gonna do another "once in a lifetime" spell to make everyone forget his secret identity? .
Y'know, OMD being actually undone would have everyone remembering Spidey's secret identity again, an often forgotten detail lol.
It'd be weird to kill her with this story when she got cancer back in Friendly Neighborhood, but it went on remission, could always have used that as an excuse to kill her off.
I think you're at a point where you need to distance yourself from comics altogether for an unspecified amount of time, and allow all the information you've read to work itself out in your head. You are clearly disgusted with Spider-Man's entire situation, and I'm sure that bleeds over into other characters you normally enjoy, too. You probably can't see it, but your outlook has turned entirely pessimistic. You aren't appreciative of the stories anymore; You actually hate them, and your mind needs a break. When you are able to read a Spider-Man comic and highlight the good instead of what you didn't like, you might be ready to return. You need to get to the point where you're appreciative that Amazing Spider-Man still exists for you to read, and enjoy it for what it is; entertainment. A temporary escape from bills and assholes, that won't be around forever. I hope you realize this is earnest advice, because comics should never be at a place in your life where it's a major decision whether or not to read them, and they are way more fun when you look forward to it.
Not at all, I enjoy many comic books without problems or complaints. For example, Immortal Hulk is a current favorite of mine. I also enjoy Miles Morales, oh, and the X-Men love 'em. The problem with 616 Peter Parker is he's juvenile retrograde crap and has been for years now, IMO, of course.

"So you've come to the end now alive but dead inside."
There's that sweet, sweet synergy with theatrical release of Spider-Man 3 . Well, at least it would be, if the movie was coming out in January 2021, or something.
As for Aunt may dying or not, I don't really care that much. In my opinion she's irrelevant. Last time I enjoyed reading her was during JMS run. Has Spencer even addressed Aunt May in his run? I honestly can't remember
Last thing I remember about her, that she had cancer and she was undergoing some kind of therapy? I thought that was connected in some way to OMD and Kindred.
Oh, and do You guys remember a few years ago, that we had a few references to OMD im other comics, like for example - Spider-Man & Deadpool? The biggest one, when DP killed Peter and he met Mephisto in hell. Or maybe it was a dream? Still something of the sort happened. I wonder if Spencer had something to do with it, or just a coincidence.
Yes Aunt May was focused on in issue 14-15 where she met Ned Leeds. I also remember she gave Peter the engagement rimg in issue 29 that he was going to propose with. She also was working at the FEAST center in ASM post-FNSM. I dont remember the outcome of the cancer but I thought she was doing better after treatment? It has been a while since we’ve seen her though.
Aunt May revealing she has cancer in a satellite title only for it to be referenced in passing in the flagship title is the type of nonsense that made me stop buying satellite titles. The only satellite issue that seemed to be important was the convo with Jameson issue and even that I didn’t waste time on because of the story surrounding that one issue.
Aunt May has always been a character that no writer seems to know what to do with.
When Peter was a teenager, she fulfilled the role as a parental figure, even through she was aged and treated more like a grandmother.
As Peter got older, she somehow stayed the same age (I'm fairly certain she's hitting 80, if not 90) and so she doesn't really have much of a place in modern Spider-man.
Peter has MJ, he has Jonah and he has his roommates, hell he even has a sister. One big problem I have with the run is how little we get if this supporting cast, which is a Shame as it's a good supporting cast to have
I wouldn't be surprised if May getting cancer will be used as a back door for writers to later pick up on if they ever wanted to kill her off, or if it was a sort of cross title foreshadowing as to May's fate.
It also seems that every writer would love to kill her off, if only because at this point, she's sadly being underused, but editorial are like 'nah'.
Anyway, I doubt OMD would be undone, but it looks like it's going to be addressed.
Thank You!
I liked her death in #300. It was sad but powerful, and then we got this weird stuff with genetically altered actress... Oh well, the good outcome from this, is that we got a JMS written version.I wouldn't be surprised if May getting cancer will be used as a back door for writers to later pick up on if they ever wanted to kill her off, or if it was a sort of cross title foreshadowing as to May's fate.

I don't think Aunt May would die in or post Last Remains. As FFJamie94 pointed out, her cancer is probably a backdoor if they ever wanted to kill her.
As much as I would love OMD to get acknowledged and "sort of" reversed, I wouldn't want to see May dying as a result.
