Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a Blast...Even if it Gets a Few Things Wrong
After finally seeing Spider-Man: Brand New Day, I walked out of the theater pleasantly surprised. Is it a perfect Spider-Man movie? Not even close. But it doesn’t need to be. It’s exactly the kind of blockbuster that’s designed to entertain, and on that front, it succeeds.

Invented Marvel Character: Platypus
Growing up my dream job was to be a comic book artist/writer. But with very little artistic talent that dream died pretty quickly. Now I do my best to bring my characters to life using apps like factory of heroes, swordmaker, armormaker and you doodle. They don't always turn out looking very good but I get more excited about the concepts and stories behind the characters than how well I can make the character look good. Sometimes my characters are from cultures I am not a part of because I think it fits their story or other aspects about them. I am not a cultural expert but at the very least I hope no one is upset by me using aspects of cultures I'm not a part of and find interesting. That said below is my idea for Platypus, a venomous mutant hero who idolizes Wolverine.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day Movie Review
For nearly twenty-five years now, Spider-Man has been box-office gold for both Sony and Marvel. Every new mainline release is guaranteed to get audiences in seats and for the first time we’ve reached a fourth entry with Spider-Man: Brand New Day. It may not rank at the top of the series, but it’s another solid effort.

REVIEW - Spider-Man: Brand New Day
I caught Brand New Day the night after release, but only just now found the time to review it. This isn’t such a bad thing, though, as it’s given me time to mull over the film, rather than immediately reacting to the thrill and spectacle. While I don’t agree with some critics who have called this the best Spidey film since 2004’s Spider-Man 2 , and certainly not the best Spider-Man film ever (the two Spider-Verse films top the chart for me), this is undoubtedly one of the Wall-crawler’s best outings yet. Personally, I’d put this on a par with 2021’s No Way Home , and while the two films take different approaches to Spider-Man’s adventures, they share the same balance of extraordinary action set pieces and truly heartfelt, emotionally rich performances.

Did Tom Holland Spoil Tom Hardy's Venom Appearing In 'Secret Wars'?
Tom Holland does have a tendency for spoiling things that are meant to be kept under wraps by Marvel. He looked like he was doing so well during the press tour for Spider-Man: Brand New Day , but then he may have just slipped up in a big, BIG way.

Ranking The MCU’s Phase 2 Movies
We had settled into the MCU by the end of Phase 1. We knew our Avengers and we had an extended universe wide open to play around. This took us into Marvel's Phase 2, where we got to continue the stories of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. But we also got to meet some new faces. Ones you probably weren't aware of beforehand.

The Girl Who Doesn't Need to Smile
When Marvel cast Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, the internet went quiet. No outrage, no celebration – just a collective pause. Everyone was busy mentally pasting that fiery red mane onto Max from Stranger Things – the girl gasping for air in a cemetery. Only when Spider‑Man: Brand New Day hit the screen, and that face onscreen tightened its jaw and went cold, did the doubts evaporate. What stayed was a near‑unanimous take: this is one of those rare MCU castings that wins half the battle on presence alone.
