00:00And sometimes Spider-Man has to do the hard thing, even if it breaks Peter Parker's heart.
00:05Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're looking at the biggest questions we still have after Spider-Man Brand New Day.
00:11We will be getting into a few spoilers.
00:13Okay, if he puts together a team, and then the team is called the Avengers, then who are the real
00:20Avengers?
00:20Well, that's the question the internet has been asking and judging by the very nasty memes that I've read.
00:26Has Oscorp been established since No Way Home?
00:28I can't believe our first day at MIT!
00:31MJ, come on.
00:33Pretend like you're not the happiest you've ever been in your entire life.
00:37I can't.
00:38I knew it!
00:41Contemplating her career after MIT, MJ mentions that she interviewed with a, quote,
00:45soulless corporation, ultimately rejecting the job.
00:48It might be grasping at straws, but when a soulless corporation is mentioned in a Spider-Man movie,
00:53our minds immediately go to Oscorp.
00:55While this company has played a significant role in other Spider-Man universes,
01:00No Way Home implied that it didn't exist on Earth-616.
01:03At least, that's what Norman Osborn said at the time.
01:06Someone's living in my house.
01:10Oscorp doesn't exist.
01:11Four years have passed in Brand New Day, providing an opening for Oscorp to be formed.
01:16That would also mean Earth-616 could have its own versions of Norman and Harry.
01:21Although it's just speculation at this point,
01:23Oscorp is a big part of the Spider-Man mythos to just sweep under the rug.
01:26But you can't do this to me.
01:31I started this company.
01:35You know how much I sacrificed?
01:37How is Peter paying for, well, anything?
01:39While Peter doesn't have Stark Industries backing anymore,
01:43his new Spider-Tech is only a slight downgrade.
01:46Peter's a genius, but he still needs money to pay for this equipment,
01:49not to mention an attic apartment to store it.
01:52Maybe I'm just writing this for me.
01:55And maybe that's my responsibility.
01:58Even if Aunt May had death insurance, nobody remembers Peter Parker.
02:02So he wouldn't be able to claim any money she left behind, right?
02:05We have two theories about Peter's finances.
02:08One, Little Caesars is Peter's literal meal ticket,
02:11hence why he orders from a D-tier pizza chain when he lives in New York.
02:15Hey, Spider-Man, that's my Weberoni!
02:17Get your own!
02:18Two, Peter seemingly wore a Del Mar's Deli shirt at one point.
02:22Maybe that's where he's working.
02:23But the filmmakers didn't waste time showing this
02:26because it's pretty small potatoes.
02:28Here's five dollars.
02:31Is that Murph?
02:32When did Spider-Man meet Yelena?
02:35Reporting for duty, what's my next assignment?
02:37Speaking of potatoes,
02:39Yelena Belova tells Spider-Man at her office slash bathhouse
02:42that the web he's trying to untangle is of the punier variety.
02:46The New Avengers deal with bigger potatoes.
02:48You know, like Doomsday stuff, but we'll cross that bridge later.
02:52Meet the New Avengers.
02:57Based on the way Spider-Man and Yelena converse,
03:00it's clear that this isn't their first meeting.
03:02Yelena doesn't know Peter is Spider-Man.
03:04Otherwise, he might have taken the mask off along with the rest of the suit.
03:08Yet Spidey and Yelena have a dynamic that was apparently established off-screen.
03:12It'd be interesting to see how exactly these two met.
03:15For that matter, we wouldn't mind a Disney Plus miniseries
03:18exploring everything that happened during those 14 months
03:21after the New Avengers were introduced.
03:29Will Peter's evolution continue?
03:32Peter's Spidey sense is taken to the next level in Brand New Day.
03:35Not only does Peter grow stronger and faster,
03:38but he develops organic webbing as well.
03:40I'm losing my mind.
03:43I am totally out of control.
03:46Although Peter initially fears these changes as he loses control,
03:49he eventually adapts and unleashes the full power of the spider within.
03:53And for those spiders who make it through,
03:56it amounts to a kind of...
04:06rebirth.
04:07Is this the end of Peter's evolution,
04:09or could this just be a stepping stone to the next mutation?
04:12Pulling inspiration from the comics,
04:14future movies could bring something along the lines of Savage Spider-Man or Man-Spider.
04:23Imagine Tom Holland's Spider-Man devolving stingers,
04:26fangs, extra arms, and six additional eyeballs.
04:30Okay, that all might be a little excessive,
04:32but it'd still be pretty cool to see,
04:34if only to temporarily shake things up.
04:38Shouldn't the police have more questions for the Punisher?
04:41Like Yelena, Frank Castle is already acquainted with Spider-Man,
04:45although we don't know how they met.
04:47Presumably, it was during the Staten Island incident,
04:50but that's also kept vague.
04:54We like to think that Frank met Peter's father when they burned Troy to the ground.
04:58In any case,
04:59the more pressing question is why the police didn't arrest Frank
05:02when he showed up to the hospital with Spider-Man bleeding out in his arms.
05:06The Punisher is a known vigilante with a body count.
05:09We think Detective DeWolf would at least have a few questions for him.
05:13If you're gonna do something, you better do it now!
05:15Not only do the authorities ignore this,
05:18but Frank is allowed to stand guard in Spider-Man's hospital room,
05:21despite being the one who put him there.
05:23You're losing it, kid.
05:25What's the future for Metzger and damage control?
05:27Our heroes uncover numerous human rights violations
05:30the Department of Damage Control is responsible for,
05:33including the death of Jean Grey's sister, Sarah.
05:35Just because the DODC is under investigation
05:38doesn't mean it's been disbanded.
05:40This likely isn't the last we've seen of the DODC or William Metzger,
05:44who quietly slips away before facing any real consequences.
05:47It appears we're faced with a threat we can't control.
05:50One we can't even see.
05:52When Metzger inevitably returns,
05:54he may argue that no human rights were violated,
05:57as he doesn't consider mutants to be human.
05:59In the comics, Metzger rose up as one of the leading anti-mutant activists.
06:04With mutants starting to establish a presence on Earth-616,
06:08Metzger may use fear tactics to sway the public in his favor,
06:11regain control of the DODC,
06:13and emerge more powerful than before.
06:15You're the only one who can sense it.
06:18Hey, can we do this one at a time, please?
06:20You're the only one who can defeat it.
06:21Will Bruce Banner be released?
06:23You're not gonna get away with this.
06:25But he might.
06:29The big green guy is unleashed
06:31after Bruce's Hulk inhibitor device is destroyed,
06:33although it's still a little unclear when he stopped being Smart Hulk.
06:37Also, does Bruce still have a son named Scar?
06:39This is my son, Scar.
06:43No, he is!
06:45I know, I know.
06:47Wow, you're a family.
06:48We already have these questions heading into Brand New Day, however.
06:52What we really want to know is what happened to Bruce after Hulk's rampage.
06:58It's mentioned that Bruce is being taken to a mental hospital,
07:01but is that wise?
07:02Even if Bruce goes willingly,
07:04the Hulk could break out at any time.
07:06The only place that might be able to hold the Hulk is the raft,
07:10where a red one currently resides.
07:12It seems Stern's raised the level of gamma in those pills over time.
07:16They built up in your body over the years that led to your...
07:20Led to my little tantrum,
07:22which is why I have to be in here.
07:24Wherever Bruce is,
07:25we doubt he'll be detained long,
07:27especially if Dr. Doom wants him for a secret war.
07:30Does Ned remember Peter?
07:32And could MJ too?
07:34True Love's kiss can't undo Strange's memory spell,
07:37but perhaps a secret handshake can.
07:39Towards the film's conclusion,
07:41Peter reintroduces himself to Ned with their BFF handshake.
07:50Although Ned doesn't know Peter,
07:52something about this exchange is familiar to him.
07:55While the scene culminates in Ned having something of an epiphany,
07:58it isn't clarified whether all of his memories of Peter came back or just one.
08:02The Spidey Tracker app says that Spider-Man is in the direct vicinity.
08:06Oh yeah?
08:07No way, that's crazy.
08:08Either way,
08:08at least a small part of Ned remembers Peter.
08:11Does that mean MJ's memories could be similarly triggered?
08:14Even if MJ remembers Peter down the line,
08:17would she want to pick up where they left off four years ago,
08:19or has she officially moved on with her new boyfriend,
08:22who the movie sort of forgot about?
08:23I'm MJ.
08:26Do the X-Men already exist on Earth 616?
08:30We last see Jean Grey on a bus heading out of the city.
08:33We wouldn't be surprised if her next stop is Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.
08:38Of course, we don't know if such a school exists on Earth 616.
08:41We don't even know if there's a Charles Xavier.
08:43What truth?
08:44That's not how our strange died.
08:47That said,
08:48it's unlikely that Jean Grey is this world's only major X-Men character.
08:52We just haven't met the others yet.
08:54Avengers Doomsday and perhaps Secret Wars could be a final farewell for several original X-Men actors,
09:00allowing a new class to take over their roles in the MCU.
09:03It'll be a dangerous time for mutants to come out of the woodwork,
09:06seeing as how Peter created a universal inhibitor that just might fall into the wrong hands.
09:13Where in the universe is Spider-Man?
09:16Ned's Spidey tracker has a wider range than we assumed.
09:20In a post-credits scene, the app indicates that Spider-Man is somewhere off-world.
09:24We're willing to wager that he's been transported to Battleworld,
09:27which could be introduced in Doomsday before playing a larger role in Secret Wars.
09:33Before this day is done, we shall be faced with an unthinkable decision.
09:40In that case, Tom Holland making a cameo in Doomsday feels like a real possibility.
09:45Even if Holland doesn't pop up in that film,
09:47all signs indicate that he's going to be in Secret Wars.
09:50Then again, Ned's app might not be exclusive to Earth-616's Spider-Man.
09:59What if Tobey Maguire or Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker has been sent to Battleworld?
10:03We know for sure that Spider-Man will return, but which ones and when?
10:08I have been in a team, okay?
10:09I don't want to brag, but I will.
10:11I was in The Avengers.
10:12The Avengers?
10:13Yeah.
10:13That's great!
10:14Thank you!
10:14What is that?
10:16Wait, you don't have The Avengers?
10:18Is that a band? Are you in a band?
10:19What questions do you have after Brand New Day?
10:22Do you agree that Thanos should have just made more food if he was worried about overpopulation?
10:26Let us know in the comments.
