        Morbius was much better than Madam Web. Like, Morbius wasn’t a great movie, but it was a movie. It had Matt Smith hamming it up, the plot made some sense, and not all of the cgi was terrible.

        These characters all deserve better, though. I would have loved to get a Morbius series in the style of Netflix Daredevil, or even like a Midnight Sons special similar to Werewolf By Night. Make it an sort of regular Halloween thing.

    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.

        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.

    I saw it with my younger sibling and had a great time. It’s actually one of the better SSU movies and has some fun and satisfying action sequences.

    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?

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

    Honestly I wasn’t even aware it was part of the MCU ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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

      It’s not.

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

        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?

          I always thought they were going to lead up to a Sinister Six movie, perhaps with Andrew Garfield.

            That was the plan.

            Sony suffered a data breach in 2014, and all their emails leaked. In those emails, they were discussing plans to make a Sinister Six movie with Spider-Man having a major role.

                No, the Sinister Six movie eventually became Spider-Man: No Way Home. The reason they keep making the SSU movies is because they want to have their own billion-dollar grosser all to themselves without sharing the profits with Disney.

          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? 😆
