Sure, your eyes aren’t tricking you. That clip looks better than the new trailer, and the reason has nothing to do with talent. The VFX supervisor on Amazing Spider-Man 2 in 2014? Jerome Chen. The VFX supervisor on Brand New Day? Also Jerome Chen. Same person. Completely different system around him.
In 2014, Chen had 50 effects artists at Sony Imageworks, the largest VFX crew the studio had ever put on a single project. They handled about 1,000 of the film’s 1,600 VFX shots on a $255 million budget. The crew shot on real film (not digital), on location in actual New York City, scanned Times Square with 36,000 photographs of over 100 billboards, and built physical lighting rigs on set so the CGI would match the real world.
Now look at how Marvel makes Spider-Man movies. No Way Home had 2,500 VFX shots spread across 12 studios and about 3,000 artists. The budget was $200 million, $55 million less than TASM2 despite having 56% more VFX shots. Digital Domain, one of the VFX vendors, was delivering final shots days before the December 17, 2021, release. They kept reworking shots into mid-January, after the movie was already in theaters.
Zoom out, and the math gets worse. Marvel released 6 films between 2008 and 2012. From 2023 to 2025, they pushed out 7 films and 7 TV shows. The Hollywood union representing VFX workers reported that Marvel pays artists about 20% below industry average and staffs one person where other studios hire three. Artists described 64-hour weeks and breakdowns on the job. Then, in February 2025, Technicolor, the parent company of MPC (three-time Oscar winner for Life of Pi, The Jungle Book, and 1917), collapsed almost overnight. 4,500 jobs gone globally. The studio had been actively working on Disney and Paramount films when the lights went out.
Brand New Day has four months before release, and trailers routinely show unfinished shots. But the gap between a 2014 Spider-Man and a 2026 Spider-Man has nothing to do with technology going backwards. The industry has been asked to do three times the work for less money per shot while its biggest studios are going under.

@BestMovieMom The new Spider-Man trailer has the best web swinging since TASM2. Let them cook. Hopefully the end result is magnificent. At least they’re in a right direction. Because the Homecoming trilogy CGI sucked

Finally looks like we’re getting great cinematic scenes of Spidey swinging. They were always so bland in the MCU

@saycamore @starzriot Man In The Mirror is his most powerful song. You can see it in every one of his performances. MJ knew that. I think the film will still be great but i feel its a missed opportunity
English

@saycamore @starzriot Hmm. Why not just have “Man In The Mirror” be the encore? Perfect song for that. Solid idea. I wonder what made them change it? Bad is a cool track but its not an encore song that MITM is (although he did use it as a closer on occasions, first leg of Bad tour, etc)

@SThingsSpoilers Season 4 was peak. Really tried to love 5 but i think the Duffers ran out of creativity and passion

REPORT: #StrangerThings Season 5 is not expected to beat Season 4 in total Netflix viewership.
Season 5 briefly ran neck-and-neck with Season 4, but is now expected to finish behind as its 91-day window closes.
