Fans have criticised Spider-Man: Brand New Day after apparent references to The Punisher were seen as overlooking parts of the character’s history in Netflix’s Marvel series. The reaction matters because it reflects continuing audience concern over how Marvel Studios treats continuity from its earlier television productions.

The article says the disputed material concerns The Punisher’s established Netflix backstory, although the supplied text does not include the precise scene or dialogue at issue. Viewers have expressed frustration online, arguing that the new film should better acknowledge previous character development and events.
