"The issue comes about 35 seconds in. Peter is explaining his memory-erasing spell from No Way Home while we see MJ and Ned watching TV, with no memory that their old friend is Spider-Man. On TV, we see Spider-Man receive the key to the city, presumably from the mayor. But we know exactly who the mayor of New York City is supposed to be right now: Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin, the villain of Daredevil: Born Again."
"Wilson Fisk's entire platform in Daredevil: Born Again is focused on his hatred of vigilantes. Why would he reward Spider-Man, who is doing exactly what he detests? Fans have suggested this could be a flashback to pre-Kingpin New York, but why would Ned and MJ be watching reruns of Spider-Man receiving an award?"
The Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer contains a continuity issue at the 35-second mark. Peter explains his memory-erasing spell while MJ and Ned watch television, unaware of his Spider-Man identity. On the TV screen, Spider-Man receives the key to the city from an official. However, Wilson Fisk, also known as Kingpin, currently serves as New York's mayor in the upcoming Daredevil: Born Again series. This creates a plot inconsistency, as Fisk's political platform centers on eliminating vigilantes, making it illogical for him to reward Spider-Man. While licensing restrictions prevent Fisk from appearing in movies, alternative explanations—such as the official being a deputy mayor or the scene being a flashback—don't adequately resolve the contradiction.
