Linda Gary[]

Linda Gary's last credited appearance as Aunt May was actually in the episode, The Return of Kraven from season four which aired in 1997. However, Linda Gary actually passed away on October 5, 1995 which was about a month into airing of the season two episodes of Spider-Man. The only explanation for this is that several episode scripts must have already been written and she recorded all her lines prior to her death.Brandonbaker01 (talk) 04:15, April 28, 2018 (UTC)

I'm not sure on that. I know The Simpsons around that time took about nine months to go from start to finish on a single episode, and actors can do several episodes at once, so it's possible she recorded lines for episodes that aired long after she passed. The series did use flashbacks a lot, is there one with May from an earlier Gary episode in "Return of Kraven" that she might have been credited for? I checked IMDb and Gary's last two credits are Turning Point and Return of Kraven while Bennett is credited with the next episode "Guilty". --ARTaylor 14:22, April 28, 2018 (UTC)
Spider-Man did use a lot of flashbacks. However, with me working on my Spider-Man: The Animated Series Wiki I have watched the end credits to every episode from the first three seasons. One thing I have noticed in the credits is that if a scene from a previous episode was used as a flashback the actors in that scene (except for Christopher Daniel Barnes) would not be credited. So basically to be credited in an episode the actors actually had to record original dialogue for said episode.Brandonbaker01 (talk) 01:32, April 29, 2018 (UTC)
I don't really know how the individual episodes are credited. The DVDs only credit for the entire series on the disc, not each episode individually. I only know that IMDb lists Gary for Return of Kraven, and I haven't been through that episode in a while to know why. --ARTaylor 03:23, April 29, 2018 (UTC)
So considering the facts I've given you can I remove that part about Linda Gary last time voicing May from the background section?Brandonbaker01 (talk) 04:05, April 29, 2018 (UTC)
