paulh, vaccinated against the Omigod Variant

I never would have expected that Peter Parker's Aunt May would be voiced by Lily Tomlin. Somehow, Julie Andrews was not the first actress I thought of for a role in "Aquaman." (Okay, I was okay with Meryl Streep as Mary Poppins's cousin in the latest Mary Poppins movie. Meryl seems to pop up just about anywhere she pleases. And Angela Lansbury as the balloon lady at the end of that movie was welcome.)

But I'm not saying I didn't like the unexpected casting. Aunt May never seemed all that spunky. Lily Tomlin has changed all that, in a refreshing way.
