Comment on ‘Abysmal’ comic book film [Kraven] makes box office history – for a very bad reason

I’m not the target audience, so perhaps this had no effect, but the name seems really dumb. There’s a sign for it right outside my window and work and I just keep thinking “Kowardly: the hunter”

Like Morbius, Kraven was a B-tier villain that nobody really cared about or wanted to see a movie of. I’m convinced this is all just some kind of money laundering scheme because there’s no way Sony executives keep thinking this will work.

I think a lot of these movies entered production after the first 2 Venom movies. By the time Sony realized they weren’t going to see the same success, it was too late to pull the plug. I think Kraven is the last one in the pipe so I doubt we’ll see anymore. Even Venom 3 didn’t do that great.

It’s a good theory. But keep in mind: these are corporate executives. They can barely check their own email.
