It may be a brand new day, but there's
0:02
some nostalgia at play, too. The new
0:04
Spidey flick has some deep [music] pulls
0:05
in store.
0:07
It appears as though the MCU has finally
0:08
realized that fans like it when a
0:09
superhero takes on a whole roster of
0:11
villains in the opening minutes of a
0:12
film. [music] The Fantastic Four first
0:14
step sees the quartet fight Giganto, Mad
0:16
Thinker, and one of Red Ghost's
0:18
super-apes. [music]
0:19
Spider-Man Brand New Day opens in a
0:20
similar fashion with a montage of Spidey
0:23
going through his rogues gallery. More
0:24
than anything, this montage represents a
0:26
passage of time. It's been several years
0:28
since the world forgot [music] who Peter
0:29
Parker was, so he's been busy being
0:31
Spider-Man full-time while his friends
0:33
MJ and Ned attend college. We don't get
0:35
a ton of time with each villain.
0:37
Otherwise, we'd be in the theater
0:37
[music] all day.
0:39
>> Stay out of my way.
0:42
>> We even get brief glimpses at Boomerang,
0:43
Tarantula, and Ramrod. There's also
0:45
Tombstone, who we thought might have a
0:47
bigger role [music] considering his
0:48
stature in the Spider-Man mythos.
0:50
Scorpion returns later and actually
0:52
factors into the plot, but this
0:53
particular montage helps make Spidey's
0:55
New [music] York City feel alive. It
0:57
also borrows a lot of imagery from
0:58
Spider-Man comic book covers, [music]
1:00
including his very first one on Amazing
1:02
Fantasy issue 15.
1:04
There's one group of baddies we
1:05
overlooked when discussing the opening
1:07
montage, the Hand. [music]
1:08
They're more commonly affiliated with
1:10
Daredevil, but Spidey's no stranger to
1:12
the order of villainous [music] ninjas.
1:13
We see them pop up later as sort of a
1:15
security force working on behalf of the
1:17
Department of Damage Control. [music]
1:18
Director Bill Metzger talks about how
1:20
the Hand really just needs a leader to
1:21
show them a better path. Of course, the
1:23
Hand isn't really reformed since we find
1:25
out later that Metzger is the real
1:26
villain who wants to experiment on Jean
1:28
[music] Grey and has already killed her
1:29
sister Sara. When the film ends, he's
1:32
out of the picture. Someone has to
1:33
assume that the Hand is back to the wind
1:35
and [music] just waiting for someone
1:36
else to step up and lead them. We can
1:38
already guess who will be leading them
1:39
soon. Élodie Yung, who played Elektra in
1:41
the Netflix Daredevil series, was
1:43
spotted filming for Daredevil: Born
1:44
[music] Again season 3. Elektra has
1:46
already led the Hand before on The
1:48
Defenders, and even though she appeared
1:50
to bite the dust at the end of that
1:51
[music] show, we never saw a body under
1:53
the ruins of Midland Circle. She could
1:54
have been hiding in the shadows [music]
1:55
for the duration of Spider-Man: Brand
1:57
New Day, waiting to emerge once more for
1:59
the new season of Born Again.
2:01
>> You don't get what you want by day.
2:03
You take it by force at night.
2:06
>> When he's feeling particularly down,
2:08
Peter spots his old best friend Ned and
2:09
follows him to a party. There, he
2:11
discovers Ned has gone into full
2:12
conspiracy [music]
2:13
mode trying to determine Spider-Man's
2:15
identity because he remembers Spidey
2:16
saving him on multiple occasions, but
2:18
has no [music] idea who he is because of
2:20
Doctor Strange's spell at the end of No
2:21
Way Home. He's come up with some pretty
2:24
funny [music] deductions. He has a
2:25
theory that Spider-Man could be British
2:27
since he was spotted in Europe during
2:28
Far From Home. Spider-Man actor Tom
2:30
Holland is, of course, British in real
2:32
life.
2:33
>> If you don't get the accent right, then
2:35
you may as well not do it.
2:36
>> However, Ned seems more certain that
2:38
Spider-Man is someone from Midtown
2:40
School of Science [music] and
2:40
Technology. He's narrowed the list of
2:42
suspects down to two possibilities, Mr.
2:45
Harrington and Flash. It's as good a
2:47
guess as any considering he doesn't
2:49
remember Peter at all. [music] And the
2:50
moment makes for a nice Easter egg
2:52
referencing Flash who appeared in all
2:54
the previous MCU Spider-Man movies
2:56
without having actor Tony [music]
2:57
Revolori there in person.
2:59
A mysterious telepath who turns out to
3:01
be Jean Grey isn't the only threat Peter
3:03
Parker's facing in Spider-Man Brand New
3:05
Day. [music] Peter's undergoing some
3:06
changes to his body that enhance his
3:08
strength and give him organic webbing
3:10
that he can shoot out of his wrists.
3:11
Unfortunately, he's not fully in control
3:13
when this other part of him takes over.
3:15
For guidance, Peter visits Bruce Banner
3:17
to get information on the inhibitor
3:18
device he uses to keep the Hulk at bay
3:20
so he can stay human.
3:21
>> If you see him like this,
3:23
run.
3:24
>> [screaming]
3:26
>> Peter makes an inhibitor chip of his
3:27
very own that suppresses his newfound
3:29
arachnid abilities, [music] but it's
3:30
clear this device could have other
3:32
applications. Turns out it works on
3:34
mutants, too. To stop Jean, Peter tries
3:37
to put the chip onto [music] her
3:38
allowing it to suppress her powers. This
3:40
probably won't be the last time we see
3:42
something like this in the MCU,
3:43
especially with an [music] X-Men movie
3:45
on the horizon. With the world fearing
3:47
mutants, it's possible that the
3:48
government would want to adjust Bruce
3:50
and Peter's [music] inhibitor devices to
3:51
use on mutants all the time. In other
3:54
media, we normally see these [music]
3:55
kinds of inhibitors take the form of
3:56
collars, which is far more dehumanizing.
3:59
Nothing says the government has to get
4:00
Peter's specific device to do this.
4:03
After all, if he could make it in his
4:04
apartment, the government can probably
4:06
replicate it.
4:08
There's a clever bit [music] of
4:09
foreshadowing in Brand New Day that Star
4:10
Wars fans probably saw coming, but
4:12
others might have missed it in all the
4:13
action. [music] There's a scene where
4:15
Ned's at his computer and another screen
4:16
shows the Hoth battle from Empire
4:18
Strikes Back where snow speeder uses a
4:20
tow cable to trip one of the massive
4:22
AT-ATs. [music] Considering how much
4:23
Peter and Ned love building Star Wars
4:25
LEGO sets together, it's a safe bet
4:27
Peter knows the scene and later draws
4:28
inspiration [music] from it during a
4:29
battle. Peter uses his webbing to pin
4:31
Savage Hulk against the side of a
4:33
building, momentarily [music]
4:34
restraining him until he breaks free.
4:36
But once Hulk is back on his feet, he
4:37
realizes loose debris from the [music]
4:39
building is wrapped around his legs.
4:40
Peter has borrowed the AT-AT tactic,
4:42
webbing up Hulk's legs to keep him from
4:44
standing upright, [music] sending him
4:45
crashing to the ground. It's a great
4:47
showcase of Peter's ingenuity, proving
4:49
he can't [music] always punch his way
4:50
out of trouble.
4:52
The Punisher is a great foil for
4:53
Spider-Man because their approaches to
4:55
dealing with threats are so different.
4:57
>> You can't just shoot [music] yourself
4:58
out of every situation. Innocent people
5:00
get hurt.
5:00
>> For instance, Spidey quite simply wants
5:02
to negotiate with Jean Grey as she's
5:04
holding a large portion of New York
5:05
hostage. He appeals to her better nature
5:07
and tells her that people care about
5:08
her. Frank, meanwhile, is cool with just
5:10
shooting her, [music] even pulls the
5:12
trigger. Peter jumps in front of the
5:13
bullet to save Jean and the Punisher
5:15
feels awful about it. [music] He ends up
5:16
being the one carrying Spider-Man into
5:18
the hospital for care. If you're all
5:20
familiar with the Civil [music] War
5:21
comics event from back in 2006, that
5:23
shot is surely familiar. While there are
5:25
some similarities in that opposing sides
5:27
headed by Captain America and Iron Man
5:29
clash and it's about superhero
5:31
registration, [music]
5:32
the Civil War comics story and movie are
5:33
quite different. In the comics,
5:35
Spider-Man unmasks to the world and
5:37
initially joins Iron Man's
5:38
pro-registration side. But Peter learns
5:40
that Iron Man is taking things [music]
5:42
too far, so he switches sides. Iron Man
5:44
sends a bunch of villains who beat Peter
5:46
within an inch of death, only for
5:48
Punisher to save his life at the last
5:50
second. Spider-Man and the Punisher have
5:52
a long, complicated history. In fact,
5:54
Punisher was initially introduced as a
5:56
Spider-Man antagonist before becoming an
5:58
anti-hero in his own right. Even with
6:00
their vastly differing ideologies,
6:02
there's a grudging respect between the
6:03
two. Brand New Day really gets to the
6:05
heart of their odd, yet enjoyable
6:07
dynamic.
6:08
When Brand New Day starts, Spider-Man
6:10
and the Punisher nod toward some of that
6:11
shared history. [music] In particular,
6:13
they repeatedly bring up an incident on
6:15
Staten Island. Frank's also the only one
6:17
Peter can rely on to look after MJ when
6:19
Jean Grey's trying to get to her. Peter
6:21
knows where Punisher hangs out, which is
6:23
an old ship called Golden Girl converted
6:25
[music] into a booby-trapped fortress.
6:26
The decommissioned ship isn't just a
6:28
convenient place for Punisher to lay
6:30
low. It's a reference to the comics
6:31
where Punisher would keep an assortment
6:33
of firearms on a boat of the same name.
6:35
Golden Girl first appeared in
6:36
Spectacular Spider-Man issue number 141
6:39
from writer Gerry Conway and artist Sal
6:41
Buscema. That arc culminates in
6:43
Spider-Man and Punisher facing off
6:44
against a villain called the Persuader,
6:46
who we kind of doubt we'll ever see in a
6:48
movie.
6:49
If you've been paying attention at all,
6:51
you know how far Marvel and Sony went to
6:52
keep the news that Sadie Sink was
6:54
playing Jean Grey a secret. But who are
6:57
you?
6:57
>> We're so close. We're so close. I can't
7:00
say.
7:01
>> That meant it was also secret that
7:02
Jean's older sister, Sarah, was in the
7:04
movie, too. In the comics, Sarah had a
7:06
very limited role, just occasionally
7:08
popping up whenever Jean's family did.
7:09
She didn't have mutant powers, though
7:11
she did become a vocal [music] mutant
7:12
rights advocate, a position that ended
7:14
up costing Sarah her life. In the MCU,
7:17
Sarah does have powers, [music] though.
7:19
She and Jean develop theirs together,
7:20
and it spooks their mom, causing them to
7:22
both be runaways. The [music] Department
7:23
of Damage Control abducts Sarah, and
7:25
Jean later learns that her sister died
7:27
as a result of experimentation in Damage
7:29
Control's custody. [music] Given that
7:30
Sarah never had much of a role in the
7:32
comics, it's unlikely we'll see her
7:33
again. But every superhero needs a
7:35
tragic origin story, and now we have
7:37
Jean's for the MCU.
7:39
It's no great shock that Brand New Day
7:41
has a post-credit scene, but what's in
7:43
it is a bit of a curveball. It brings
7:45
[music] us back to the Spidey tracker
7:47
app that Ned had been using throughout
7:48
the movie. At least at first, it looks
7:50
like Spidey is safely in New [music]
7:51
York as usual. Maybe together we can
7:54
help him make it a friendlier
7:55
neighborhood for everybody.
7:56
>> [music]
7:57
>> But then, Spidey appears to leave the
7:58
neighborhood and the planet. By all
8:01
appearances, Spidey's in the far [music]
8:02
reaches of space. Of course, we've seen
8:04
Holland's Spider-Man leave Earth before.
8:06
In Avengers: Infinity War, [music] he
8:08
went to Titan and battled Thanos
8:10
alongside the Guardians of the Galaxy,
8:11
Iron Man, and Doctor Strange. [music]
8:13
This new cosmic sojourn seems to
8:15
indicate that Spidey will be off in the
8:16
stars for another Avengers adventure,
8:18
either in Doomsday or Secret Wars. For
8:21
Secret Wars in particular, the
8:22
implication might be that Spider-Man has
8:24
been transported to [music] Battleworld.
8:26
In the 1984 Marvel Super Heroes Secret
8:29
Wars comic series, a powerful being
8:31
named the Beyonder makes Battleworld in
8:32
deep space out of the parts of nearby
8:34
planets. [music]
8:35
In the 2015 version of Secret Wars,
8:37
Doctor Doom creates his own Battleworld
8:39
out of various universes after the
8:41
Marvel Universe [music] gets destroyed.
8:43
The MCU's 616 universe seems to still
8:46
exist given that the Spidey tracker app
8:48
is still operational, but that doesn't
8:50
necessarily mean Spidey isn't on
8:52
Battleworld. Whatever the case, it's
8:54
clear Spidey will return and it's likely
8:56
he's joining the Avengers madness to
8:57
come.
