Recap / Marvel's Spider-Man S 2 E 20 "Brand New Day"

Go To

When a series of attacks captures the Avengers one-by-one, Spider-Man is left to figure out who is behind the kidnappings.


This episode contains examples of:

  • Crazy-Prepared: Subverted. Spidey gathers every anti-supervillain countermeasure created by him or Otto while the latter occupied his body to combat Regent, who has replicated several superpowers from his incarcerated rogues gallery. The fight ends with Spider-Man being trapped in a dark void with the Avengers.
  • Foreshadowing: So far in every synopsis Spider-Man is referred to as "Superior Spider-Man" due to Otto having taken over his body. This episode's synopsis, however, simply refers to him as Spider-Man, spoiling the fact he would switch back with Otto (which happened in the previous episode).
  • Internal Reveal: Peter may have gotten his body back, but when he arrives at Horizon High, not everyone is happy to see him, especially Anya and Gwen. Miles brings him up to speed about what happened while Otto took over his body. Miles then points out that, since he "quit" going to the school, Peter is no longer a student and is therefore trespassing on campus. He also warns that Max may not be thrilled to see him either after Otto-Peter stormed out, so Peter himself has to leave.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: The first thing Peter notices when he watches TV is Jameson, of all people, suddenly supporting Spider-Man. This is a first sign that Otto left an effect on the city and its people as him and the "Superior" Spider-Man, for better or worse.
  • Silent Treatment: As a result of being treated badly by Otto when he was in Peter's body, Gwen and Anya refuse to speak to Peter when he arrives at Horizon High.
