Spider-Man: Brand New Day
A brand new day starts now.
Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn't remember him—and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him—sparks a change in Peter Parker he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves - a powerful villain no one can even see.

Slight distractions of wokeness on the spider web
After seeing this movie and putting my thoughts on the backburner I have this to say. I have not seen an MCU film since the film’s prequel and as a whole not since Avengers: Endgame, mainly because of how woke it is becoming. That being said, this film is less woke than its contemporaries. Since MJ is still portrayed by the actress as prior films, race switching was unavoidable and some leaders of color are treated with respect compared to others; although, there is intersectionality regarding race and gender when it comes to female leaders. Hypocritically, outside of the Hulk, Spider-Man, Punisher and Ned, not every male character gets a chance to be seen outside of a narrow view.
In general, some feminist superiority is shown when it comes to leaders and MJ’s role in handling Peter’s emotional turmoil when she comes back into his life. I won’t spoil much, but feminist power also makes a major plot point and there is talk of how one should not let other people’s views of her powers make her a monster or not.
Aside from that, the film is enjoyable as far as Peter’s heroics and plot are concerned. His actor gets a chance to shine to play the role of either Peter or Spider-Man in the long line of films that explore what it means to be either one of the other.
