Greetings, nerds! Will here with a spoiler-free, out-of-the-theater reaction to Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Short version: I loved it. Tom Holland fully owns Peter Parker/Spider-Man at this point, and the film leans into some genuinely mature themes as a follow-up to No Way Home — mainly that Peter can't do this alone and needs his team, friends, and family.

In this video, I talk about:

✅ Tom Holland's performance
✅ Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle/Punisher arc
✅ Zendaya (MJ), Ned, and Tramell Tillman's (Severance) role
✅ Sadie Sink's mystery character and how well it pays off
✅ Destin Daniel Cretton's direction, fight choreography, effects, and score
✅ The credits scene situation (no mid-credit, but stay for the end!)
