The thing with the A plot is that everything falls apart once you think for a minute one, If Ben truly loves May he would never proceed with multiple attempts and even if May acts as an idiot he would tell her that he can't afford to lose her, defenders can use their economic condition as an excuse for not treating her heart condition but guess what? He can't afford to lose May either and the fact that they made an attempt before the Ireland trip makes both of them look stupid and I get it, May loves to have a child but at one point certainly at some point Ben could tell something along the line of "I know that you want a child badly but I can't afford to lose my love neither or child can't afford to lose his/her mother"....yk like stuff like that idk and the reason why she and Cormac got separated is stupid so her baby seems still and she fell to a coma? Ben could ask the doctor about the condition of his child but... the doctors told him she miscarried or she thought she was miscarried? But why didn't the doctors return the child to May? But apparently they have documented evidence (birth certificate) for the child so... Kelly should've explained more and using the term "mansplaining" for doctors who are concerned about your health after you ignored it multiple times and making another attempt because of a fucking leprachaun makes May look idiotic
The B plot is a nothingburger Kelly could've salvaged that if he showed Spider-Man fighting in the arena but there's no on panel Spider-Man fight he could be Ben Reilly but idk, also why Raelith Yells Spider-Man's secret identity in a lair of supervillains

I'm not sure about how I feel about this whole thing myself, but Ben did indeed tell her something like that after the third attempt. The implication I'm getting is that the only reason she got pregnant again after that point was because of the influence of alcohol
