      It's the "Wicked Problem" where Hollywood is all too enamored with the trope of "What if every villain you can think of was actually a misunderstood hero/anti-hero or tragic figure all along instead of evil?"
      Sometimes it works (Wicked, Thanos) and sometimes its disturbingly successful (sociopath protagonists of shows like Breaking Bad, Dexter, Sopranos, and Joaquim-Joker) but frequently it's a dud.

    And KRAVEN THE HUNTER has the writers from TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT

    Honestly, out of all the Spidey villain movies, Kraven is by far the truest example, cause while Venom and Morbius were Spider-Man villains, they eventually did reform and now act primarly as anti-heroes and they had they own comic book, so with those you could argue there's a material for them to work as a stand alone movie protagonists. And Madame Web isn't actually a Spider-Man villain. Kraven however, yeah, he's a full time A-tier villain Spider-Man villain, the one whose not meant to be anything heroic or sympathetic with some exceptions (refferring to 90s show). So, yeah, this movie is by far the most clear and pure example of the villain movie problem, next to Joker 2.

    Ever since the release of Morbius, one thing I always theorized is that the success of the first Venom movie gave Sony the wrong idea, and that they think we'd want to see more of these Spider-Man villain movies without Spider-Man in them, but that wasn't the case. While Venom does work best in a story with Spider-Man, he has been shown to work in his own stories too, so that, along with Tom Hardy's Venom being a much better representation of the character than Topher Grace's version is why the first Venom was successful, whereas characters like Kraven or Morbius just simply don't work without Spider-Man being involved. With the recent stuff coming out about Sony's decision making with these movies, it seems my initial assumptions ended up being true

      Imagine if they actually used the villains verse to tell spider man stories that wouldn't have fit into the MCU, like rather than a terrible Kraven movie where they try and turn him into a hero, we could have had a live action adaptation of Kraven's Last Hunt.

  • @n00dles4
    @n00dles4 Місяць тому +20

    They are making a mistake by introducing these characters with solo films (Madame Web, Morbius, Kraven the Hunter, Venom). In the early MCU, new characters were introduced by having them meet characters we were familiar with (black widow in iron man 2, scarlet witch in age of ultron, black panther in civil war). Having the movies connected that way gives us narrative reasons to care, especially if we already like the characters.

    • @Wfalen

      I guess Venom still ringed a bell to many from the third Raimi Spider-Man movie, even if it was bad, and had a great lead with Tom Haedy, so it had a chance and the first two made money. But the rest of them were doomed to fail just by the fact that they aren't known to the wider audience.
      But maybe it's better that people didn't go see them, means we won't have sony milking a bad franchise.

    Honestly if Andrei Tarkovsky did a Soviet version of Kraven's Last Hunt id watch it. He never would, but it was always my dream for him to do his version of that comic. J.M. Dematteis wrote him the best, and its the most iconic version of the character and I really feel like someone with an ability to convey character's thoughts and feelings without doing directly, Tarkovsky could tbh.

    They should have hired the writers of The Penguin. They play on this expectation of the audience believing the villain has a redeeming nature at the core him, but then flips it and shows how much of a villain the Penguin truly is. And it's all very believable, without taking away from the character.

    Kraven is nearly killed doing whatever, and left in a near-death coma. Calypso returns to a pre-Movie Wakanda and *steals* a heart-shaped herb and uses if to revive Kraven. This provides him with his powers and a trip to visit his ancestors, a long line of great hunters and imperialist conquerors who admonish him for being unworthy of their legacy and drive him to seek out and hunt the most dangerous creatures, human and animal, in the world.
    Boom. Kraven is born.
