I've been thinking about how angry Mary Jane and Peter seem with May for starting her Spider-Girl career back up. Given that parents are well-known for their double talk and secrets, I'm wondering if that shoudl be taken at face value.
Peter seems really disappointed, which given how often he gave up the webs for about five minutes before donning them again, seems a bit hypocritical. MJ just looks sad, seeing as she's the one who encouraged May to put on the costume that one time, which seems to have kick-started the whole thing. And yet, for people that really don't want May out there doing the wall-crawling thing, they didn't try to hard to prevent future escapades. They didn't confiscate her (empty) web-shooters, and they just left the costume sitting in the living room (which implies the Parkers don't entertain guests much). So this whole thing about them not wanting May to do the hero bit again, strikes a bit hollow.
I think they may be testing May, seeing just how determined she is to do the heroic thing. If she's really willing to defy her parents, especially after they've outright told her they don't want her doing it, then she must really be serious about it. At which point, they'll throw their support behind her.
Honestly, it's probably not that likely of a scenario (much more Batman than Spider-Man), but it was something I wanted to mention.
