Tom Holland looks and sounds enough like Tobey Maguire c. 2003 that you can pretend it's taking place in THAT universe a

Simple explanation. Rosemary Harris is his GREAT Aunt May (notice she's WAY too old to be Tobey Maguire's biological aunt in the first movie), whom he just calls affectionately calls his "Aunt May" for short. Marisa Tomei is her DAUGHTER of the same name which he also calls "Aunt May". Makes perfect sense. I have several generations of "Uncle George" in my family
Oh dear God! Just stop already! -

It really doesn't work that way.
Yes it does.
Someone should make a fan film "side story" that picks up where Raimi's Spider-Man ended, and ties into Captain America 3 and Spider-Man: Homecoming at the end. It would be relatively easy and seamless to tie these franchises together, in spite of the crybaby naysayers on this board.
Even Disney understands that Raimi's Spider-Man is superior, that's WHY they got a guy who looks and sounds like Tobey and didn't try to do another "origin" story. Unlike that hack Marc Webb, they KNEW the Raimi version was the DEFINITIVE Spider-Man and couldn't be topped, so why try? -

Did you even see what part of your post I quoted? Aunt May isn't Peter's great-aunt, nor does her advanced age in the Raimi movies mean she should be. Families don't work that way.
You're probably a troll, anyway. -

As an added bonus, for those who hated Spider-Man 3 (I actually thought it was a decent movie, just Venom was terrible), we will now have an improved Spider-Man trilogy:
SPIDER-MAN (2002)
Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) is a nerdy high-schooler. He was orphaned as a child, bullied by jocks, and can't confess his crush for his stunning neighborhood girl Mary Jane Watson (Kristin Dunst). To say his life is "miserable" is an understatement. But one day while on an excursion to a laboratory a runaway radioactive spider bites him and his life changes in a way no one could have imagined. Peter acquires a muscle-bound physique, clear vision, ability to cling to surfaces and crawl over walls, shooting webs from his wrist but the fun isn't going to last. An eccentric millionaire Norman Osborn administers a performance enhancing drug on himself and his maniacal alter ego Green Goblin emerges. Now Peter Parker has to become Spider-Man and take Green Goblin to the task or else Goblin will kill him. They come face to face and the war begins in which only one of them will survive at the end.
SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING (2017)
Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Spider-Man (2002), begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging superhero in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thrilled by his experience fighting Green Goblin, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark, Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine - distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man - but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened
SPIDER-MAN NO MORE (2004)
Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) is an unhappy man: after four years of fighting crime as Spider-Man, his life has begun to fall apart. The girl he loves is engaged to someone else, his grades are slipping, he cannot keep any of his jobs, and on top of it, the newspaper Daily Bugle is attacking him viciously, claiming that Spider-Man is a criminal. He reaches the breaking point and gives up the crime fighter's life, once and for all. But after a failed fusion experiment, eccentric and obsessive scientist Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina) is transformed into super villain Doctor Octopus, Doc Ock for short, having four long tentacles as extra hands. Peter guesses it might just be time for Spider-Man to return, but would he act upon it? -

When will people just let go of Toby Maguire
Sorry, it is a FACT that Maguire was the DEFINITIVE Spiderman (and I say that as someone who had severe doubts about him when they first announced he was cast in the early 2000s)
Holland has potential, he looks and sounds enough like Maguire c. 2003 that he can hopefully erase the Andrew Garfield abominations from the public consciousness. His brief appearance in Civil War honored Maguire's work. -

Why would you do such an awful thing to yourself and sour the movie?
Furthermore, never should have been rebooted? Are you kidding me? Those movies were awful adaptations of the source material. Raimi's campy films are not the be-all and end-all of Spider-Man movies.
No true Spider-Man fan would ever wish Raimi's movies would continue rather that having Spider-Man brought into the MCU.
Raimi's movies are finished. Obsolete. Deal with it.
Oh, and one last thing, it's Spider-Man, not Spiderman. Moron.
