I wanted to create a safe space where we could freely discuss Brand New Day spoilers as more of us see the film. So, SPOILER ALERT. Do not open this thread until you have already watched it (or you don't care about being spoiled).

To get started, I have to say Jean tricking Peter into thinking MJ remembered him on the rooftop is one of the most diabolical things I've seen in one of these movies. Great scene, but good lord that was cruel.

Also, Yelena remains undefeated.

Yeah that was pretty low! I almost felt hope for him, but then remembered this is Spider-Man we're talking about 😂

That was such a good scene.. at first thought it might me Jean, then I thought it was really MJ, then…

I got a little nervous when I saw how much Ned and MJ were in the trailers because I did not want them to undo the No Way Home ending, but I thought they implemented those characters really well. Him reconnecting with Ned at the end was sweet. I like that they grounded it in Peter's arc where he realizes he can't do this all alone. That added some weight to it so it felt earned. It would have been cheap if they concocted some way for Ned and MJ to have their memories restored.

Interested to see what they do for Spider-Man 5. I think Peter being friends with Ned again, but Ned still doesn't have his memories of what happened in the Home trilogy would be fine as a compromise.
