I still think Winslow had nothing to apologize for and May should have been the one to apologize. I guess it's just me. Privilege is one thing, but it doesn't justify acting like an asshole.

Nope, not just you. This whole arc really pisses me off. I should be patient and wait for Jeph to finish it to see what all happens, but I am so far incredibly put off by it. May treated Winslow like sh**. And everyone in comic so far seems to think thats ok because "privilege". Never mind that Winslow is in no way responsible for, nor are his actions contributing to May or anyone elses negative situation in any way.
Never mind that Winslow took no action to cause harm whatsoever.
Its ok to treat him like crap because one part of his life is going better than one part of hers.
The idea that he should be ashamed or embarrassed because his lift isn't as sh***t as May's, that he shoudl have to apologize simply for living his life and interacting with her in a normal fashion is, IMO ridiculous. He can have compassion for the difficulty of her situation without being made to feel like its somehow his fault.
And the idea that she is not only, not in the wrong, but in the RIGHT for treating him like crap? Garbage. She owes him an apology and I hope there is more to this arc. Its been the most disappointing one in the entire comic as far as I'm concerned.

May got mad at him for simply stating that he GOT a new body at all. She's mad because he was even CAPABLE of getting a new body so easily. She's not mad at him because of the new body, she's mad at him because it's easier for him to GET a new body than her. She's mad at him for something he had no control over.
If he HAD thought of her situation and chosen not to say anything, she would have been mad at being intentionally shunned. Nothing Winslow could do here would have avoided pissing off May, and that hits me wrong. He didn't DO anything except be a little bit luckier than her. He doesn't owe her an apology for that.

Relationships are difficult to navigate, and sometimes we all put ourselves in the line of fire for it. May has her good qualities, and for some that may not be enough to out weight what she did to him, but Winslow, however childish he seems to be, is still capable of making his own choices. If he sees something of value in May, then so be it.
The people that want to get up in arms and act like Winslow should shun May from now on for one outburst, well, I have choice words about that kind of sensitivity. And before anyone throws around the word "Toxic" I advise you remember that everyone is an ass once in a while, and this is May's first (and maybe last) time being so to Winslow. I'd argue that we've seen most of the cast of QC put each other threw far, far worse outbursts, and they all have far more loving relationships than the bare acquaintance between these two.
May already seems to past it, so the conflict is over. Unless someone out there really wants to see Winslow stubbornly demand an apology, someone else to do that on his behalf, or any other number of situations that won't ever happen in this narrative based on the established personalities we've been dealing with for years.

for some reason I just imagined may adopting lots of birds as a kind of stereotypical cat lady except with birds and she tells them how she hates them.

So, May is adding recreational animal cruelty to her resume? For shame! Seriously, though, those winged rats will literally eat anything and somehow find some way to survive on it!

I agree with you on principle. Sometimes though, you have to be the bigger person and be the one who tries to preserve the peace by making the first move. Swallowing your pride is always hard but the outcome is usually good for the sake of your social circle.
So... Are those real pigeon or is the fire in that one's eyes sign that they are something else and are the remote-control agents of someone who is watching May? I'm just back from binging on Marvel serials on Netflix and the possibility of a conspiracy that is targetting May is suddenly not unimaginable to me!
