It's Thursday, it's too damn hot here, let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
That's So Kraven
...I'm sorry, I had to 😅
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.
Traditionally, Kraven is given temporary super-abilities by juicing on drugs... ah... I mean herbal potions. (See, if you Art this thing, there's a story there somewhere. 😅)
Still, if this looks like your kind of film, don't let anyone put you off, dearest nerdlets. You do you.
See what you think about the trailer.

Shameless Self-Promo Time!
- Last week's Friday Fics Fix talked magical The Falcon and The Winter Soldier fics, which you can see here
- You can see what I had to say about the new Nimona trailer on Medium here...
Have you seen the Kraven the Hunter trailer?
Are you familiar with the character?

No idea who Kraven is, but I guess good for him that he's getting his own movie!
ReplyDeleteLol, he's an a**hole - and not really in a fun way!
