Zendaya's HBO Max Project Overshadows Spider-Man

While Spider-Man: Brand New Day is raking in major box office numbers, the article pivots to Zendaya's upcoming HBO Max black comedy series that apparently makes Peter and MJ's relationship look tame by comparison. The film's biggest flaw seems to be MJ's story arc—or lack thereof—as Peter drowns in his own legal troubles. Zendaya's new project sounds grittier and more willing to explore the messier side of these character dynamics. For what it's worth, this reads as a pretty bold comparison to draw between a blockbuster and prestige TV.
