I have a Triforce tattoo on my back, a pineapple on my thigh, a quote on my other thigh, a word on each ankle, a word on the arch of my right foot and a little tulip on my wrist. AND I WANT MORE.
I have a mustache on my finger, stars on my upper arms, birds on my collarbone, a semicolon behind the ear, the Chinese symbol for "love" on my heart, roses on each ankle, and a butterfly on my lower back.
I have a dot on the palm of my hand that I made by accidentally jabbing myself with a pen.
It counts.
i have one of those above my knee from when a friend in 7th grade thought the pillow i was leaning on was thick enough to stop a pencil

if you want a tattoo, get one
As long as you choose a relatively safe place it's not a particularly painful experience (do not choose your chest or ribs or side for your first rodeo) and you will get +1 attack or something
so, if you have the jink, go see Fel

Aside from not everyone having parents the same age (personally my mom was 64 when I graduated highschool) Aunt May is supposed to be a traditionally matronly figure in the comics that the readers can also identify with. She's supposed to, along with Uncle Ben, be a guide for Peter's moral compass.
She is instead the butt of a bunch of jokes in the movie and actually wears a little black dress in the after credits scene. She is a cardboard cutout of a character instead of being one that guides Peter. Now, granted, this is a Captain America movie so they don't have time to expose on her specifically so I might still be proven wrong regarding the direction they take her. However, they have taken a seemingly strong female character and reduced her to the base components that the fedora wearing "m'lady" crowd want and made her incredibly thick headed as well.
If they really wanted to switch up the character, maybe she should have already known Peter was Spiderman before Stark showed up. There's also not a goddamn sign of Uncle Ben.
Or maybe it should have been Aunt May who died instead. There are plenty of ways to switch this origin story up without turning Aunt May into a supermodel. I can seriously count on one hand the number of 50+ year olds who actually look like that and most of them work in Hollywood.
P.S. No one likes arguing against 12+ people at once.

there isn't really anything very satisfying, to me, about watching a superhero get pounded up by random mooks
it happens a lot in arrow, even as late as season 3! it happens in daredevil season 2 (although much less, thankfully) and it happens early on in daredevil season one
i think it's one of the reasons something like captain america 1 works, and really most of the MCU- these guys are just fucking juggernauts and they don't really need to take shit from random dudes
captain america, without any training at all, just his superhero gumption and powers, goes and rescues an entire platoon from a hydra base as his first actual mission
that's way more entertaining than "danny rand, master of the iron fist, struggles to fight a guy with a knife in a storage room"

it's a problem with street level heroes. power creep quickly becomes an issue and too many superpowered villains makes you start wondering why Captain America doesn't clean up these streets.
to be fair fights in the rest of the series are against martial artists and stuff and feature way less hero getting pounded.

i might be convinced to get a tattoo if i could figure out something i'm sure i wouldn't think is dumb in two years
I think if you could add to the situ thats ideal because yes, you didn marry a neruoscientist once but now you have more tattoos
I like your idea
But also I'm an unemployed litigator who needs to fit in with a bunch of waspy old lawyers, or else I'm never going to get a job and stabilize my amazingly bad finances

the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
There are at least six near-identical "I'm going." "Not alone." "No, it's too dangerous." conversations
Dammit guys.
Skippy finally got his hands on weed.
This is what happens when the quest is complete.
You know it's forever, right
You got mad at that one comic for just saying the n-word
especially since it has soft continuity after Best of Both Worlds
it was one example of Star Trek attempting long-term character development
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
My dad used to give me sincere advice about how "people like us" do not naturally fit in with people who "merely" have "normal intelligence"
God dammit, dad, why are you such a dumb asshole

the first time that happened was good

At least the poster guys are having fun.

This property seems problematic in the modernday, and has been poorly executed,
That ending was great!
