AI Summary

This video by Paul, host of a Marvel-focused channel, addresses unanswered questions from the movie 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day'. It explores the fates of characters like Bill Meer and Jean Grey, the implications of Peter Parker's identity being exposed, and the future of the Hulk, while also discussing potential storylines for upcoming MCU projects.

[00:13]
Bill Meer's fate and anti-mutant militia

Bill Meer escapes during the chaos on Roosevelt Island. In the comics, he forms an anti-mutant militia after a mutant destroys a town, using media to push anti-mutant hysteria. The wave from Jean could be framed similarly, making him a potential antagonist for mutants in the MCU.

[02:33]
Jean Grey's destination and X-Men setup

Jean leaves on a bus, likely heading to Xavier's School (upstate). She could become a founding member of the X-Men, originally known as Marvel Girl. Samira Weaving is announced as Emma Frost, suggesting more X-Men cast announcements soon.

[04:04]
Jean's powers and the 33-feet range

Jean can only jump into someone within 33 feet. She wasn't stuck in the helicopter; she could disconnect and jump to others via a chain of people. This explains why she escaped.

[04:57]
Peter Parker's job

Peter's job is unknown, but he wears a Delmar's Deli shirt, suggesting a part-time job there. Alternatively, he might have money from Tony Stark's will or Aunt May's life insurance.

[05:50]
Peter's identity exposure

Many damage control agents saw Peter's face, but it's possible they blacked out due to Jean's possession. Psychic abilities could also erase memories. The government may keep it quiet since Peter is an ally.

[06:43]
Hulk's capture and future

Bruce Banner is caught and taken to a psychiatric hospital, likely a damage control facility. The Savage Hulk attacked a government building. This could lead to a World War Hulk storyline, with Hulk possibly being blasted into space.

[08:57]
Peter in space and Avengers: Doomsday

The post-credit scene shows Peter in space, possibly not the same Peter we know. This could tie into Avengers: Doomsday, with the spell causing him to be transported across the universe.

[09:38]
Ned and MJ's subconscious memories

Ned's yearning to find Spider-Man and MJ's visit to the rooftop suggest buried memories. Ned's wizarding abilities might allow him to reverse the spell, but the movie focuses on future friendship rather than memories.

[12:39]
Punisher's immunity from Damage Control

Damage Control doesn't arrest the Punisher because they target enhanced individuals, not regular vigilantes. They may have an uneasy alliance, and the Punisher is considered 'small potatoes'.

[13:29]
Staten Island incident

The question of what happened on Staten Island is mentioned but not fully explained in the video, leaving it as a lingering mystery.

The video provides speculative answers to fan questions about 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day', setting up potential future MCU storylines involving mutants, the Hulk, and Peter Parker's identity. It encourages viewers to share their own theories.

[00:01] your host, Paul. In this video, we're talking about the unanswered questions talking about the unanswered questions in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. After seeing the movie, you might have some questions about what's going on.

[00:13] video where we discuss some of the things hanging over the movie. Now, the first big question I've seen is what happens to Bill Meter? Meer escapes during the chaos of Roosevelt Island, and we don't learn exactly what happened

[00:26] comics that he went on to form the anti-mutant militia. This happened after teenage mutant destroyed a town in Missouri. Bill went on to have several TV and radio appearances where he uses to push anti-mutant hysteria. So, I do

[00:40] wonder if the wave that emanated from Gene will be framed in a similar light He could then gain a platform to push the anti-mutant agenda and also come more prevalent in the MCU with Ms. Marvel being confirmed to be one. um so

[00:54] build himself back up. In the comics, the militia even got federal support and he could be one of the first foes that the mutants face off against. This video is sponsored by Marvel Strikeforce. Marvel Strike Force is a free mobile

[01:08] heroes and villains. And Marvel Strikeforce is launching its biggest event of the year just in time for Brand New Day. That is the Spider-Man tent the 27th of August. Tired of the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day movie

[01:50] favorite campaigns been the Nexus one, and collecting all the characters that I that just makes this game really, really special to me. The Doom War chapter was sublime as well, and it just got me so excited for Doomsday. Download Marvel

[02:19] along with those bonuses. Just use the promo code Spidey and get Spider-Man and Hulk for free and all those extra bonuses. Thanks. Now, speaking of mutants, another big question is where is Gan going? We end the movie with her

[02:33] leaving on a bus and don't really know where or who this is headed to. However, I think everyone is imagining and probably guessing correctly that she'll the original five founding members of the X-Men, and this was alongside

[02:47] Cyclops, Beast, Iceman, and Angel. Gan was originally known as Marvel Girl, and she was the team's only female member. In some versions of her backstory, death of her sister Sarah, and she's

[03:00] X. I think they're probably going to do that. And as of making this video, Samira Weaving has just been announced as Emma Frost, so I can imagine that rest of the X-Men cast very soon. There have been a lot of actors attached to it

[03:14] more official announcements now that the but her running with Meza could set up a fearsome rivalry, and we may even potentially get things in place where he helps create the Sentinels. Ryanary ble

[03:27] Ryan theorized Stark's iron fleet from Age of Ultron could be altered to become the Omnis machines. And I think this would be such a smart way to take things. As we discovered in Homecoming, damage control were created by Stark.

[03:39] access to his tech. The dark origins of Gene here could also usher in her path towards becoming the Dark Phoenix, which could be pushed on by the trauma that she feels attached to Bill. Emma Frost, as well, she's a powerful psychic. Also,

[03:52] has hooked up with Cyclops, too. Uh, so maybe there'll be like a love triangle there. She might help Gene develop her powers. Who knows? But that's a way they could go with it. I do think though that Bill is the perfect antagonist as he's

[04:04] already killed a mutant kid, and this makes him the perfect bad guy for the I do feel that we learn Jean's bus took her upstate, which is where Xavier's school's located at. She could then meet a community of mutants and be our eyes

[04:17] and ears into the X-Men of the 616. Now, in the movie, we learn that Gan can only jump into someone within a range of 33 feet. Because of this, I have seen some people ask, why didn't why did she get stuck in the helicopter? Well, the thing

[04:29] is she wasn't. Gan could disconnect from that guy and then jump to someone else through using a different string of people. Peter stringing this guy up just moment, but didn't really slow her down to be honest. Now, the next question is,

[04:43] helicopter? And I don't know, mate. He was probably left in there forever to die because I would not be putting my life on the line trying to get him out the helicopter that's dangling off a crane. So, rest in peace, Bozo. Now, the

[04:57] is, "What is Peter Parker's job?" Seeing this idiot the other day on Twitter, down, mate. I had to shut down this punk. Anyway, this is something that we don't quite know for definite, but we can get a pretty good idea from some

[05:11] notice in the film that Peter wears a Delmare's deli shirt, which is the store There were actually set photos taken where he was seen around that location, and it's thought he may have a part-time job there. But maybe like Tony left him

[05:24] a billion in the will or something, or he's got money saved up from doing that. he's got money saved up from doing that. Aunt May's life insurance, I don't know, somewhere that's just paying for everything. Does Does it matter if we

[05:37] see him go to work or not? Do you care that much? I don't know. Maybe. Yeah, but Peter's identity is still locked down. And I actually love how much he stays in the suit for the entire movie. The guy barely takes it off, and even a

[05:50] bath with Yolena Bova is something he rocks a mask for. But come the end of the movie, a lot of people have seen his face. A lot of the damage control forces know who he is, and I've seen people asking if the secret is indeed out

[06:03] there. I mean, the guy gets taken into a hospital in the Spider-Man costume, and he isn't wearing it when he wakes up. So, let's discuss that. Now firstly, we that they end up blacking out. This is explained explicitly in the film and

[06:16] it's what makes Peter realize that Meza is lying. So it's possible that the people she possessed simply blacked out or didn't see Peter's face. There's also psychic abilities in general to erase Peter from everyone's mind. There's also

[06:30] the government and therefore aren't really going to be going out and about to expose him when he's still one of their allies. Whose identity is already out there though is the Hulk and we learn that Bruce Banner has been caught

[06:43] away to a psychiatric hospital. Now, what is going to happen next? Well, the Savage Hulk has returned and to make matters worse, he's attacked a government building. It's not like he he just Hulk smashed up someone's house.

[06:55] Like, this is actual damage control property. So, my guess is that the quote unquote hospital could be one of their facilities. We saw in Wonderman how they powers and then locking them away. So, I

[07:08] to Bruce. I actually think damage control could end up being a pretty big foe and they might even clash with the Avengers with a Z. In the movie, Yolena investigates their adacted files and they may discover further shady things

[07:21] going on. I doubt that kidnapping and killing kids is the worst of it, and projects which Bruce could witness firsthand. Due to him being an Avenger, help him, which I don't think they'll be open to. Now, there are one of two ways

[07:37] storyline, Bruce Banner was locked underground in an adamantium cell that was rigged with sleeping gas should he start to turn. World War Hulk took actually blasted Hulk out into space. In the Planet Hulk prologue, he went to a

[07:51] satellite to battle a mysterious AI and upon destroying it, realized he was trapped. The Illuminati then appeared on screen and told him he was being shot into space and this is when he ended up on Sakar. Now, they have done the Planet

[08:03] Hulk plot line in the MCU, even if it was dumbed down massively for Thor Ragnarok. How about the idea of blasting him into space is still on the board, as is the potential to do a World War Hulk adaptation. In the comics, he returned

[08:15] to that seminal event. Hell, they don't even need to blast him into space, and that he ends up doing it anyway. The savage Hulk is unable to be contained, he's waiting to return. Thinking about it, Hulk could even end up in space like

[08:31] Peter in the postredit scene, and they could potentially tie to that. And yeah, mate, I don't I think when the government and the Avengers turn on Hulk, that his son Scar is not going to take it lying down. We are definitely

[08:44] seeing Scar again. Scar Nation, stand up. Yes, Skull will return after up. Yes, Skull will return after She-Hulk and Harry Styles from Eternals will be back as well, I'm guessing. Take it to the bank. But that takes me to our

[08:57] Now, I have thought about this quite a lot and done like done like three videos Milking it dry. But I think that because we don't see what happens with how Peter gets into space that the Peter in space isn't the Peter that we know now.

[09:12] I think this is likely leading for Avengers doomsday. have spoiled who that is in one of the three videos uh that we've talked about this on. Uh and with them being leaks, I think I'll save it for those videos and I'll trick you into

[09:25] watching them and you give me two views. I do think it's picking up an mean they don't have to explain how Peter went from shaking hands with Ned to being across the universe or even Multiverse in this case. Now, circling

[09:38] wonder whether Stranger's spell is literally nothing in MJ's head about Peter, I still think that Peter is likely buried in her subconscious. This is why Ned has a yearning to find

[09:51] that as it being simply because he saved him, this guy is going above and beyond. wall in his room that's full of suspects. I think being Peter's best something's missing. And because he doesn't know who Peter is, this drive is

[10:07] Spider-Man are something that Ned knows are one and the same. and he's one of the first people who found out his secret identity. So though he forgot about Peter, he may not have forgot everything about Spider-Man. Instead, he

[10:20] chair for someone. Or maybe I'm reaching. But I think Ned's connection to him is a reason why he's so focused on finding the character. MJ also has of the film, we see she's gone out to the rooftop where she and Peter used to

[10:34] spend time at. So deep down, there must be something pulling her, even if she sure we've all been in some situations as well where something's on the tip of remember what the word is. And it's so weird because like you will remember

[10:48] mate, but there's been times where like I've I've went to the shop to get some shop and I'll be like, "Ah, totally forgot what I wanted." And then on the way back I'll remember it was the new Euro Trip Odyssey shirt that we've just

[11:02] can't remember it in the moment because the information is in your brain, but your brain's what's holding it back from you. Your brain knows what's in your for the moment I can't remember what it is and I don't understand how that

[11:16] works. But yeah, there's also our At the Gates one, our Zeus law one as well and also our new June Desert Moon one too. I ody you wearing them along with our classic spider shirt and there's lots of discounts on them for the more that you

[11:29] Anyway, I think Ned at the end saying Peter is him getting past the thing that's on the tip of his tongue. Like MJ on the rooftop with the black dollia, he even be able to break the spell. As we know, Ned has wizarding abilities, too.

[11:44] sling ring. So, he may be able to at least cast his own spell or reverse memories. However, I don't think the memories actually matter. And the movie Instead, it's about looking to the future and starting things off with a

[12:00] brand new day. He said it. He said it. >> So whether he remembers or not, it doesn't really matter. It's more about them being friends once more. I also beating Peter. In our spoiler review, Paris brought up how he saw Hulk as

[12:14] trunk. This is something that Banner described himself as being an Enthor Ragnarok. And I think Paris said it in the best possible way. Because of this not have affected that part of his brain. Hulk has been locked away since

[12:27] sometime before Infinity War and Endgame, so he may have recalled Peter from that time. He may have recognized him just like Ned, but that's one of those things that I'd love to hear your comments on. Now, my mate Theo at Slime

[12:39] House TV, he hit me up with a question that's been driving me a bit mental over the weekend. He asked, "Why didn't Damage Control arrest the Punisher since he's basically walking around shooting and killing people?" Now, I have had a

[12:51] think about this, and I think that they might have an uneasy alliance with him. vigilantes, and both the police and damage control work alongside Spider-Man. He's part of the chase at the start trying to stop the tank, and

[13:03] trying to help. However, I also wonder if the Punisher might be might be a bit too small for them. A bit too small potatoes, as they say, only over there. Damage control seems to only target enhanced individuals with powers. And

[13:17] Wonderman, it's because he took responsibility for the destruction of the film set. So I think the Punisher might just be someone they don't really care about. Shind the Wolf, on the other hand, do your goddamn job. And the last

[13:29] question is, what happened on Staten Island? This is something that Punisher throughout the movie. And the thing is actually quite simple. It's a bit time.

[13:44] Anyway, that wraps up the video and huge thank you for sitting through the fun, download Marvel Strikeforce using the link below and with that, you'll receive Spider-Man and the Hulk for free along with some bonuses. Just use the
