You know, KRAVEN THE HUNTER doesn’t actually look that bad. Very… player-character-y, though. How it goes when you’re about six levels better than the people you’re fighting, and all that.
Mind you, I always enjoy those missions. It’s like you’re giving back to the community, you know what I mean? And there is a certain charm in hitting the bad guys far, far too hard to be fair.
Yeah, it’s definitely R-rated. In fact, I’m pretty sure somebody’s head got ripped off in that trailer. Which was a little surprising, seeing as I’m most familiar with Kraven the Hunter from his UNBEATABLE SQUIRREL GIRL run, where he does… not do such things*.
Looks like it’s worth a look-see, at least. There’s a decent cast in there.

On the bright side: at least KRAVEN THE HUNTER‘s not shying away from being as bloody as hell. You gotta commit to the bit, in situations like this. The character’s either a costumed clown, or a gore-soaked murderhobo. There’s really no good in-between place.
Sony, that is. Part of the ‘Sony Marvel Universe,’ because why not? “The long-time Spider-Man villain, whose real name is Sergei Kravinoff, was a Russian aristocrat who became obsessed with big game hunting. He eventually develops superpowers after taking an elixir from the Voodoo priest Calypso.” …I’m detecting a theme, here. Sony seems pretty determined to work up the Marvel villains they have a bit more than… well, OK, they only have Spider-Man on the heroe side, so that makes sense. Expect a lot of tortured anti-hero and villainous movies, then! And then, when they’ve got that settled, Spider-Man can come back and battle the Sinister Six until the end of time.
Hrm. That might actually work.
Still, Kraven the Hunter without Squirrel Girl is gonna not be as fun. And she’s NOT Sony. Not at all.
