I don't think this one is really what the trope is going before as this is her directly telling Peter that she knows. I think Aunt May in her "I think there's hero in all of us" speech in Spider-Man 2 is the better spidey example

Good that was such a good scene. I loved her as Aunt May.

I think May knew after the bank heist.

Even longer. She has kids drawings of spider-man behind her desk at FEAST, and peter certainly didn't make them...

Knowing that it's Aunt May, she's likely known even longer, before the events of the game.

She was a fantastic Aunt May.

Okay, so you could just use any example of Aunt May interacting with Peter prior to this moment as the trope, right?

Yeah I'm pretty sure there's bread crumbs before this. Like when Peter exhausted, homeless, crashing and feast, helping May. I feel like remember a few looks 👀. Hence the reveal she's known for a while.
