Following two consecutive – but not quite connected or contiguous – Spider-Man movies predicated on the subdivision of their namesake’s identity, and his status as shared studio intellectual property, the optimistically Brand New Day ditches the multiverse altogether, returning the friendly neighborhood vigilante to solo duty. The suit is willing but the spirit is weak; he goes through his usual acrobatic, crime-fighting motions with a chip on his shoulder. Her target is the government-backed agency called Damage Control, which specialises in super-hero clean-up; what, she wonders, have they been sweeping under the rug? The reason 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming remains both the best of the Holland entries and one of the more likeable MCU movies, period, is that it feels (relatively) springy, self-contained and spontaneous. That was not even a decade ago, but, slogging through Brand New Day’s portentous but underwhelming spectacle, it seems like a long time indeed.
