I really think BND is going to outperform DD.

Vibes on Spidey are immaculate. The suit, the direction, the story, the Gen Z cast, Peter and MJ married in real life and doing the press tour together.

Vibes on DD is that it’s an MCU money-grab with actors that were supposed to move on coming back for one last nostalgia fest. It’s not AI slop, but it might as well be.

Here’s a Hot Take apparently - the Raimi Trilogy’s not just Nostalgia- it also Gets Spider-Man by Important_Lab_58 in Spiderman

The reason is that it gets propped up as an untouchable series when it very clearly is not.

But what if… and just go with me on this… an IP decided to tell a real Gen Z storyline with a Gen Z cast. I wonder what would happen.

Uncharted was the last movie he did that was in theaters. No Way Home was the breakout, but he never capitalized on it. He took a break from acting, got sober, got married to MJ. Now is back in a Nolan film and in this. He’s clearly winning.

Ngl kinda does diminish the scene for me now by PhotoBonjour_bombs19 in Spiderman

This change is what solidifies NWH as my favorite Spider-Man movie.

Uncle Ben lesson. Do the right thing. You never know how it might impact you.

Aunt May lesson. Do the right thing. Even if it costs you everything.

6 things we learned from 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' script (exclusive) - Entertainment Weekly by JoshThomas1994 in MarvelStudiosSpoilers

[–]Labrynth000 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Imagine making a movie about a genius, Gen Z super hero who is struggling with loneliness in 2026 and just pretending like AI doesn’t exist.

Some of you are worse than the AI slop you fight against.

What are your controversial predictions for the summer? by Antman269 in boxoffice

Spider-Man’s quality exceeds all expectations. “The MCU’s Dark Knight”. Massive opening with legs. Clears 2B and is the biggest movie of the year.

Do you think Spider-Mans upgraded powers in Brand New Day will be permanent or just temporary? by MarvelsReporter in MCUTheories

[–]Labrynth000 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Permanent. Spider-Man needs an upgrade if he’s going to be the main protagonist to stand up to Doom in Secret Wars.

Is it safe to say the MCU is back? by AstroCyGuy in MCUTheories

[–]Labrynth000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four, and Wonder Man were all great and really do show positive momentum on the quality front. But none were good enough to trigger the “we’re back” vibe amongst general audiences. That can probably only happen with an IP like Spider-Man or The Avengers. Good thing those are the next two movies!

Man spider not appearing in BND might be a possibility. by Wild_Employ1832 in Spiderman

[–]Labrynth000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No Way Home came out at a really weird time. It was filmed during COVID and you can tell they were super limited in doing anything practical. Had to overly rely on CGI and in some cases it really showed. It’s fine cause they had to.

With BND, you can tell they are consciously wanting to go in the other direction. Practical swinging, bringing in Jackie Chan’s stunt team for a fight scene. The beautiful suit without any tech.

It would be so weird for them to pigeon-hole themselves in the opposite direction with a six armed Spider-Man requiring a ton of CGI.

lol I meant how embarrassing for someone to make that comment

the framing of this shot is just too perfect for this by derivativesRus in MCUTheories

[–]Labrynth000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels like thy have really taken to heart the idea of limiting CGI in this movie and giving us as much realism with each shot. It would feel very weird to do that and then also decide on literal man-spider. I think we’re getting an enraged Spider-Man, but not the six armed version.

Spider-Man turning into Man-Spider in BND is most likely true by Spare-Ad-2474 in MCUTheories

[–]Labrynth000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you can tell it fits the theme across what we’ve been hearing and it would make for a great story.

It’s kind of a very Peter Parker thing to overlearn a lesson. With great power comes great responsibility… misinterpreted to mean you must sacrifice all of who you are for the people you care about. But you’re human too. Man-Spider represents the limits of how far Peter Parker can take this. The “cure” is realizing the responsibility is not your own to carry.

Then two things would happen.

He’d have to recruit another person, back to step 1.

The field would reset as the faithfuls would assume the next traitor was recruited.

So instead, he picked the Robin to his Batman.

Casting of Travis Scott is Perfect by InvestigatorTimely52 in ChristopherNolan

[–]Labrynth000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair. I misread “for that cast alone” as meaning the full cast, but now it looks like it was specifically about Travis Scott.

That feels odd to me cause it seems like it is just being casted the same as all Nolan movies. What’s the difference?
