@SafwanAlghazal Make nothing sha do my money

[Theophilus Ndamati @theochinwe]

@MatthewBitts It’s not a cross it’s an ‘X’ man🙃

[Theophilus Ndamati @theochinwe]

@MrAbbeetim It would have been against the plot. Probably same reason why vision didn’t change too

[Theophilus Ndamati @theochinwe]

@KingAlex585 @zaidkola1 Rewatch the trailer you’ll see the cracks. In this image it’s out of focus so you won’t notice it

[Theophilus Ndamati @theochinwe]

@mixandrix102 You can just watch it but watching from far from home would add context. Watching from the first Tobey Maguire Spider-Man would even add more context

[Theophilus Ndamati @theochinwe]

@anomegamutant Or maybe because we knew she was playing Jean already!?

[Theophilus Ndamati @theochinwe]

@Oiarjunrathore RDJ got paid more for less time

[Theophilus Ndamati @theochinwe]

@nikeyspace In the comics it affected only Bruce

[Theophilus Ndamati @theochinwe]

@GaaryWrld It’s funny I referenced this to someone as Nobel making dynamite and Oppenheimer amplifying it. Also at least we can go back to this movie whenever we see the sentinels being able to copy mutant powers

[Theophilus Ndamati @theochinwe]

@MyTimeToShineH Go ahead and buy the IP rights to Spider-Man

[Theophilus Ndamati @theochinwe]

@DanielRPK Just go ahead and watch Emergency Awesome’s review.

[Theophilus Ndamati @theochinwe]

@7Spideycomics I think it’s going to end on the 6th film

[Theophilus Ndamati @theochinwe]

@Godfather0fX @Apex_willye @AdnaanJnr The handshake is muscle memory. He knows the identity of Spider-Man but won’t have the past memories. Just dots connected

[Theophilus Ndamati @theochinwe]

@MyTimeToShineH Both Ned and MJ don’t just have the memories back. They just connect the dots and know that he was probably with them. The spell affects memories, I don’t think muscle memory is part of the spell else people would forget to drive or other regular stuff

[Theophilus Ndamati @theochinwe]

@Ofcimcold Because it’s PG 13😂

[Theophilus Ndamati @theochinwe]

@moovsny Secret wars folks

[Theophilus Ndamati @theochinwe]

@Filmi_fiedGuy Because Sony won’t let them. First was Iron Man then Nick Fury then doctor strange and now hulk. About Ned and MJ moving on, I’d say it’s both frustrating and emotional. A lot of Spider-Man fans want to see him broke and lonely. This had good comedy in my opinion.

[Theophilus Ndamati @theochinwe]

@Filmi_fiedGuy First of all fans actually wanted ground-level Spider-Man which was delivered, punisher being there made it even more relatable, he lost his family and so has Peter. Hulk being there is an interesting plot giving rise to power dampener and also they have to use a big character

Spider-Man: Brand New Day (🌟🌟🌟🌟) is fucking awesome & probably the best thing Marvel has done since End Game. I say this as an MCU skeptic. I say this as someone who’s expressed doubts about Tom Holland in the past. I say this as someone who bitched & moaned all week about the 2.5 hour run time. But for once in my life, I’m happy to report I was wrong. This film is excellent. Tom Holland crushed this performance just two weeks after crushing The Odyssey. Everything about Brand New Day is done well & every last actor in this film thrives. I laughed. I cried. I had a blast. This is how you make a comic book film. 

There was a time I loved Marvel films. Prior to the conclusion of End Game, an MCU release was appointment viewing. Since End Game? God help us all. My chief complaint with the MCU since End Game is the multi-verse. I’ve never enjoyed it & it’s always felt like a stupid, messy, overly-complicated trope. Therefore, one of the smartest things Brand New day does is it has zero multi-verse bullshit in it. This is a film that explores Peter Parker’s ethos & story that’s built in an organic way that allows this film to stand on its own two feet. You don’t need to be familiar with the latest releases in the MCU to understand this story. 

And the story here couldn’t be more relevant because it explores the consequences of isolation not just for young men - but for young people in general. We find Peter Parker four years after No Way Home as a man who is totally withdrawn from the world. The primary theme/force pushing this story forward is that Parker has now accepted that he’s a loner. His focus is now 100% devoted to being Spider-Man. Friends? Family? They’re all gone now- for their own safety, Ned (Jacob Batalon) & MJ (Zendaya), no longer remember who Peter is at this point. The idea here is as Peter tries to focus on fighting crime & embracing his full-time role as Spider-Man, the isolation starts to impact his ability to perform as Spidey & the spider DNA inside him starts to take over. In other words, the man’s loneliness is killing him. This all collides with Sade Sink’s Jean Grey. Like Parker, Grey has super powers (hers being the power of telepathy). And like Parker, Grey has nobody in her life. Her telepathy has cost her almost everyone close to her & the only person she has left is her sister- who’s been taken by the Department of Damage Control, led by Tramell Tillman. The conflict here isn’t just Peter’s isolation or Grey’s loneliness by themselves, but also Peter’s obligation to reign Grey back in.

I can’t overstate how well-done the story is here. The 2.5 hour runtime flew by. And that’s because of the parallel storylines between Peter & Jean. The story just feels fresh, damn it. There’s humor (especially with Mark Ruffalo as Hulk & Jon Bernthal as The Punisher, each who are excellent). There’s really well-done action set pieces (especially with Hulk). And there is the perfect amount of nostalgia & emotion. I think the chemistry between Tom Holland & Zendaya was just so palpable & real. Every time they share the screen in this film, it’s special. The flashbacks scenes to earlier parts of their relationship are just right. All of which feeds into this film’s biggest achievement: it nails the story. 

That excellent story & that well-done action is all brought to life by Tom Holland. This is his film. This is his summer. Holland brings the audience with him the entire way through in what is an undeniable movie-star performance. I think the biggest strength Holland brings not just to this specific performance as Spidey but to his work as Spider-Man in general is his reliability. Holland never feels out of reach emotionally or physically. I think there’s a humanity that he brings to Peter Parker that neither Tobey Maguire nor Andrew Garfield can touch. Brand New day is a mature but still incredibly fun performance from Tom Holland.

Brand New day left me totally satisfied. I’m ready to go again right now.

@the_umoren_ That’s culture man. Glad to see a lot of people actually waiting for it. In the theatre I watched they turned it off saying there was no post credits. I know it was a lie and just wanted to clean for the next set
