something about brand new home that i don't see a lot of people talking about is how they deal with humanity. a large part of the story is about peter and how he thinks he's a monster. how damage control sees jean and her sister as objects, weapons to be studied and then sacrificed for "the greater good". how bruce is treated post hulk crash out even though it wasn't his fault, but the hulk is an inhuman monster so of COURSE he's in a psych ward. it tells you that we can have these notions about who is human and who is not; about what is human and what is not. but ultimately, we cannot deny someone's humanity. and it's not the biggest part of the movie, but banner's words about "what's the good and what's the bad" really ties into the whole thing about who's human and who's not.

It is really, really funny that the new Spider-man movie decided to solve the "why is this one vigilante kid the only person in a world of superheroes tackling this threat" problem by stating that it's because Yelena Belova is currently in charge of deciding what rises to an Avengers-level threat and she mostly decides based on vibes. Immaculate. No notes.

This movie was so unapologetically New York it was wonderful.

Bad Bunny started playing and my theater started cheering. There’s a halal butcher shop next to a bodega, the kid Peter saved is a wearing a Knicks jersey and there’s a random tourist bus that’s filled with people wearing tacky New York merchandise. My favorite detail is when Empire State turned on its lights to support Spiderman just like how it does in real life with actual events.

The city is alive, vibrant, and in tune with Spider-Man and we see it become its own character rather than just a background setting. Peter finally interacts with the city again as a figure and as a person as well. There’s people who talk to him, who try to help in battles and these are all the moments that make the city a living and breathing home for Peter Parker and Spiderman together.

Tom Holland has such a better Queens accent too and idk but like I’m a New Yorker, and I just looked around in my theater and I saw so many people like me all wearing Spiderman merch who were all able to look on screen and see our home represented perfectly.

Honestly it reminded me so much of a fic I reread every now and then where it’s basically Spider-Man x New York and it’s beautiful. But this movie was able to capture, like you said, the character of New York and bring it into the story in a way that the other movies haven’t (granted the second one was set in Europe). I’ll probably reread the fic and link it here cause that’s what makes spidey so special

Also when him a frank were arguing in front of MJ, I literally thought that that was the most NYC thing to do (said by someone who hasn’t ever visited, but still)

Like a new friend!

there’s just something so lovely about how a passionate kiss wasn’t enough to jog mj’s memories, but peter and ned’s secret handshake was more than enough for ned to start remembering, everybody say thank you to destin daniel cretton for showing that platonic love matters just as much and can also break any spell

BRAND NEW DAY SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT

the way peter was frozen when "mj" kissed him and took off his mask. the way he was SOBBING after she said his name, and "remembered" him. the way he completely broke down, hugging her so tight. the way his voice wavers when he said "i missed you so much."

the way he probably thought that after four years, it will all be okay.

the way it was all taken from him in a matter of seconds.

One thing I love about Brand New Day is that Peter really does feel older. He's not a teenager anymore, he's an adult and an adult who has had to be entirely self-sufficient. And you feel that in the way he carries himself and the way he interacts with other characters, especially the detective and Frank.

the scene when peter leaves the hospital made me tear up because its such a stark contrast to the way people acted towards spiderman/peter in no way home and yet he can‘t fully bask in the praise and adoration so he’s left to stand there in disbelief because he knows that this is all conditional to his continued anonymity

no because imagine having a platonic soulmate in the way ned and peter are soulmates !! truly it makes me sick thinking about the fact that ned constantly felt peter’s presence !! and wanted to find him !! and felt connected to spiderman the whole time !! and instantly fell back into old habits with peter as spiderman !! and remembered his best friend through something so simple yet so special between the two of them !! i’ll throw up !! ned and peter i love you !!

he got hotter when his life fell apart

It’s actually insane to see those photos side by side. Like he was just a baby

When I was hesitant about Frank Castle being in Brand New Day, what I failed to account for is that Frank is the perfect person to hear "I'm staying away from my loved ones to protect them" and respond with "that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Go talk to them."
