Who the fuck would trust these movies at this point!?

[–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 18 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It was not the worst Sony-marvel movie. It would be much better if they didn't create the stupid Kraven is a super-lion-blood/witch-magic superhero back story. Also the movie seems like they needed less or better characters, I think the brother and one of the villains should have been excluded from the film entirely.

Comic book Kraven had powers on par with Black Panther, from drinking the Calypso Serum that was retconned to be made from the heart-shaped herb. I haven't seen it yet, but they probably changed it to avoid using anything Disney owns.

[–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 2 points 7 months ago

Makes sense. I just didn't like how the girl just happened to find Kraven getting eaten by the Lion and she's just like "here try this mystery liquid my crazy grandma just gave me" and that's how he gets powers.

No advertising that I could see probably didn't help. I keep up to date on movies and didn't even know its launch date was this weekend until about a week ago.

How do you get average Joe blow movie goer to even get interested if you don't advertise it? Tax right off?

[–] KAYDUBELL@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

The movie is probably terrible, but I’ve seen posts about it for months.

This is the first I heard they were making a kraken movie

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Honestly I wasn't even aware it was part of the MCU Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―

EDIT: Okay, not in the MCU, but part of the Marvel universe.

[–] TheImpressiveX@lemm.ee 26 points 7 months ago (2 children)

It's not.

It's part of Sony's Spider-Man Universe, same as the Venom movies, Morbius, and Madame Web.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 26 points 7 months ago

The spare parts cinematic universe

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The Things Sony Has The Rights To Cinematic Universe is such a weird thing to make.

It doesn't even have Spider-Man in it. There's seemingly no direction or underlying plot to work towards. It doesn't even seem to make any money.

Wtf is it for?

[–] exasperation@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Marvel licensed the film rights to Spider Man to Sony.

Then X-Men to Fox.

Then Hulk to Universal.

And throughout all of this, the lawyers have fought over which villains or characters properly fall within each category, signing new deals or borrowing characters and rights.

The Disney-Fox merger made things simpler for X-Men versus not-X-Men characters. But the Spider-Man cross licensing for Sony-produced Spider Man movies that take place within the same universe as MCU makes it more complicated, too. So did the Netflix rights to Daredevil and Jessica Jones and a few other characters in that orbit.

Wtf is it for?

To make money, including making sure that rights don't lapse from non-use.

A $26m worldwide opening weekend isn't great, is it.

So that'll be streaming on PVOD next week, with the 4K and Blu-ray two weeks later then, I guess? πŸ˜†
