Weird superhero name, interesting premise - like, hyper-advanced spider sense.

In the comics, it is presented a bit more like she's connected to the "web of fate".

So is that a bad guy Spider-Man in the clip”

Sort of. He's got some spider powers, not as potent as our boy Peter - exactly how he got them is pretty central to the plot in the comics, and apparently the movie, so I won't just blurt it out here.

In the comics, iirc, the Earth-616 version of him never wears a Spidey-suit like that. The version of him that does (from Earth-4) is a heroic dude, "Old Man Spider", not a villain. I am usually pretty relaxed about changes from canon, but in this case unfortunately the costume got a pretty direct, "But that's now how it goes!" reaction from me. :p

Some folks are wondering why she isn't maimed in this movie, not realizing this is functionally a prequel to that time.

Besides if you can have younger hotter Aunt May, why not a hotter younger Madame Web.

Marissa Tomei was 53-55, so not really younger, just hot.
Dakota Johnson is 34 - we're going to have to wait 30 or more years until she looks like Madam Webb
 




Probably the way I see it going. Mobius 2 0.

That or it blows up and gets 400-500 million.

Mobius made money, not a ton, but between theatrical, PPV, Physical media, and the Netflix deal it made money, so it might not have done as well as they wished, but it did the job Sony needed it to do. It had a small, small budget for a mainstream Superhero movie, abou 70 to 80 million, and not a crazy amount of advertising. It was #1 on Netflix for a time.

Madame Web will make money, although honestly its likely the primary focus of the movie which like Mobius has a small budget for a mainstream superhero movie because its leaning on majorly little known characters, Sony isn't going into this expecting a billion or even half a billion dollars, if it does that awesome.

Dear Gods does she bath in the blood of virgins? She doesn't look like she was in her 50s when she first appeared in the MCU.

Folks just have a skewed impression of how old people in their 50s these days actually look.

In part, Aunt May has long been depicted as really old - fully white haired, wrinkled, and physically frail - which is more like 70s or 80s than 50s. Tomei was a much more likely age for a woman whose nephew was in his late teens.

For another part, media seems to have created their image of 50+ people based on the Lost Generation and Baby Boomers who smoked like chimneys and drank like fishes, and that crud'll make you look old before your time.

Yeah the image of what constitutes 'old' has somewhat changed over the past few decades.
but by 2012 Ultimate Spider-Man gave us this version of Aunt May
