That’s So Kraven
…I’m sorry, I had to 😅 Let’s look at the trailer for Kraven the Hunter!
Sony released a trailer for Kraven the Hunter — their movie around the Spider-Man villain of the same name.
Kraven isn’t one of my favourite Spidey villains — he’s off-puttingly cartoonish, and compared to the complex villains that Spidey excels at, he’s kind of pathetic.
…Basically, I think Sony were facing an uphill battle to begin with. They needed to go in a quirky, creative, direction if they were gonna overcome the limitations of this character.
It needed some serious Art done to it, you know?
Someone needed to Art the sh** out of this character.
And while I’m not one to judge a movie by the trailer… this ain’t it.
This suggests a somewhat-watchable brainless action flick, at best.
Kraven’s apparently given super-powers by a lion-bite (which, since he’s a Spidey villain, one can only assume was a radioactive lion 😜.)
They were probably looking for a reason that Kraven’s such a weird a**-hole. An admirable goal, but again: this ain’t it.
