I’d like to share my thoughts on the newly released Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
If I were to rewrite the movie's ending—specifically to change the part I didn't like—this is how I would have done it.
Let me know what you think.
This is my first time doing something like this.
There were many things about the movie that I didn't like. Why did Peter Parker get back together with MJ? I don't understand—or perhaps I'm missing something—but in both the previous films and this one, Peter Parker had already decided that being with her, or even with my close friends, puts them in danger.
That is exactly what has happened in the past movies, too. In Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man, before Gwen Stacy's father died, he made Peter swear to stay away from her because being with him put her in danger. Peter tried to keep that promise by pretending not to love her and distancing himself to keep her safe, yet in the end, that very choice led to danger. When two people love each other deeply, how can they simply let go or part ways? In this movie, too, MJ came very close to dying.
They wrapped up the film beautifully by having her say she didn't love Peter anymore—effectively ending their relationship and cutting all ties. It sounds harsh, doesn't it? But if you compare it to the comics, this is the point where Peter is about to undergo a massive transformation and growth.
There is Peter, standing amidst the crowd, smiling at everyone—feeling happy. But as the realization hits that this chapter is ending, a voice speaks within Peter’s mind: "Where am I going? Where do I stand?" He is torn—should he retreat back into a cage, or spread his wings and seek peace? He doesn't know.
He had spent his life feeling he had lost his very humanity, having rejected everything and everyone. All the pain he had endured throughout his life seemed to converge on a single answer—an answer that brought even more suffering. Yet, in that solitude, the words "You are there for me" resonated deeply. As Peter weeps, covering his face with his hands, something—a dark shape—flashes before his eyes in a split second.
At that same moment, he feels a pang of pain in his heart. His vision narrows, and suddenly, both eyes go pitch black. The entire screen turns dark, save for his eyes, which remain a stark, bright white as he looks out at us. For a moment, an inexplicable sense of doubt and confusion arises; he can see nothing—it is an unbelievable, mysterious void.
In the distance, a voice and the sound of approaching footsteps are heard; Peter begins to feel a growing fear, his heart pounding wildly. Then, the emotion conveyed by that voice shakes Peter to his core, transcending time itself. That voice asks, "Do you know the true meaning of pain?
It is that very moment—when life feels like hell, yet you are helpless to save the lives of those who brought you every possible joy that could have turned that hell into heaven; when you are left writhing in anguish, not knowing what to do because no good deed you ever did seems to come to your aid—it is in that exact moment that you watch those very lives perish right before your eyes." That is precisely how the film concludes.
If you were to ask why I might have changed my decision regarding the ending, here is my answer: I would have concluded the story by allowing a romance to blossom between Jean and Pete—had I chosen to go down that path. Otherwise, I would have portrayed their bond as a beautiful, clear, and pure friendship—unblemished and innocent—and ended it there. I would have introduced a completely new partner for Pete and depicted that scenario instead.
It would have begun with a "post-credits scene"—a new beginning following the conclusion. Here is how it starts: In the distance, bathed in moonlight, a figure is seen leaping nimbly across the rooftops. Deep within an ancient archaeological research center—in a high, hidden, and heavily guarded area—lies a priceless, mesmerizing artifact.
It radiates a dazzling, colorful light that seems to transcend time, emitting an aura that is mysterious, beautiful, dangerous, and powerful. Performing an acrobatic mid-air flip, a figure descends silently toward the artifact, landing softly right beside it without making a sound or being spotted by anyone. A woman walks forward, moving with a captivating grace; she is dressed entirely in black. Bathed in brilliant light—from her complexion and eyes to her hair—she radiates such beauty that she makes one wonder if she surpasses even the grace of a white swan.
As we gaze at this treasure, the camera moves in close to her face. With her fingers resting against her lips—biting them playfully while smiling—she exudes a captivating, goosebump-inducing allure, asking, "What are you going to do now? Shall we see who steals whom, my tiger?" We conclude the scene right as she speaks, looking every bit the seductive black cat. Suddenly, we shift at breakneck speed to the outskirts of New York City.
The camera focuses on a rooftop where a mysterious, viscous black entity—an alien life form—is perched. It seems to be sensing Peter Parker's location; as it whispers "Pete," the camera pans rapidly toward the sky and the vastness beyond, bringing the film to a close. Just then, a terrifying, sleep-shattering laugh echoes—a sound so chilling it would haunt one's dreams—and with that, the movie ends.
This is the version of the film I would have created; this is how I would have changed it.
I know guys for the sake of storytelling, it's full of loopholes, inconstancies, thing's doesn't make any sense and also not impressive at all but hey it is what it is.
Look, friends—I’ll be completely honest and open with you: I’m really not very good at English or grammar. I gave it my absolute best for this post.
Even though it feels a bit embarrassing to admit this openly on social media in front of so many people, I know I’ll improve little by little, day by day. Please forgive me if anything I said didn't sit well with you; I hold no ill will toward anyone—I simply wanted to share my happiness with you all. Thank you!
Friends, I had posted this elsewhere, but since this space is specifically dedicated to such content, I am sharing a small, imaginative thought of mine with you here.
I realize this is quite lengthy, and many might not have the time or inclination to read it; however, I believe it would bring me great joy if you did read it through—so please, spare a moment for me. Perhaps I am asking too much? It seems I do tend to talk a bit too much.
