Marvel Studios' animated series 'Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man' has repeated a controversial decision from 'Spider-Man: No Way Home,' by having Aunt May deliver the iconic 'with great power' line. This decision, initially made in the live-action film, sparked debate among fans as it traditionally belonged to Uncle Ben. In the new series, Aunt May's words prompt Peter Parker to accept a deal with Norman Osborn, despite the emotional weight of the situation.

Just like in the MCU, Aunt May, voiced by Kari Wahlgren, plays a crucial role in Peter Parker's life in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. Also similarly to the MCU, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man began after Uncle Ben's death, which means Aunt May and Peter Parker's relationship is even more important to explore.
Originally, it was Uncle Ben's murder at the hands of a villain Peter Parker refused to stop earlier that urged the wall-crawler to become a more heroic Spider-Man, taking on the responsibility of his great power. Spider-Man: No Way Home saw Aunt May killed by the Green Goblin, allowing her to deliver this line. While nobody died in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Aunt May's quote still urged Peter Parker to accept Norman Osborn's deal and become Oscorp's Spider-Man.
