Kraven The Hunter

😂

Venom had the whole Lethal Protector thing, yes.

Kraven does have his own [warped] code of honor, but the best thing he's ever done [and is remembered for] was committing suicide.

If Sony really wants to make a movie about "an animal lover and protector of the natural world", they really shouldn't have picked this villain who happens to be the very antithesis of that.

Even limited to "Spideyverse" villains, Puma comes to mind before Kraven.

If Sony decides to transform the character completely to make him a likeable protagonist, it'll no longer be Kraven.

Sony is not planning it smart, they just know they need to keep making new films or they'll lose the rights, afaik.

So this movie gets an R-rating but not Venom

I will believe it when I see it.

Sony lied numerous times about Venom and its sequel getting R-ratings (which never happened). Probably wanted some attention.

Kraven film will most likely be PG-13.

^ Not just that. Also how they're still going with Kraven being a “an animal lover" and also at the same time "He’s just a hunter, a human with conviction.”

wtf....Sony needs to just let go of the rights to all things Spider-Man.

Yes, we have discussed it in this very thread.

Absurd idea, but they don't care about staying true to the character, they just try to make him marketable.

Yeah, Gotta keep PETA happy.

Hollywood doesn't make many villain films --- they follow the old formula with likeable protagonists (anti-heroes with redeeming qualities at worst) and happy endings.

Kraven is violent, sadistic, mentally ill, suicidal... Russian... he doesn't fit.

Sony apparently wants to "fix" that by turning him into their version of Ka-Zar or Tarzan. They probably don't know exactly what they're doing, but they need to do something in order to keep the movie rights.

Meh... Just seems to me with Sony at the moment that they're knocking it out of the park with Spider-Man, But then when it comes to all these other characters that's tied to him they're not giving them the same treatment.

Live action clearly ain't their forte.

MCU trilogy wasn't Sony's success. It was Feige's and Disney's.

Sony's been missing "the right people" ever since Raimi's trilogy.

Animation and video games have their own forums.

And water is also wet.

They aren't "knocking it out of the park" with Spider-Man.

TASM films left them crippled and begging for mercy and SSU doesn't have a single solo SM film.

TASM1 was pretty good, not nearly as good as SM1-2, but better than SM3, I still think Sam Raimi must have had a series of ministrokes when writing/filming SM3.

TASM2 was a failed abortion though. Just awful. Shit covered shit, But they should have done a 3rd film to fix that and wrap it up as a trilogy. Keeping it separate from the MCU, until of course SM:NWH brought it all together with the magical magic of the multiverse.

When I watched SM: NWM, I did like how you could tell around what age people where in the audience depending on which Peter they cheered for. Old ****s like me got nostalgic when Tobey appeared. the mid 20ish to 30ish crowd when Garfield, all the younger ones were Holland fans.

I was happy to see both. I was…12 I think when Spider-Man came out.
