Why the Spider-Man Sony/Marvel Universe Was Doomed Before It Began

Authore: ChloeUpdate:Mar 04,2025

This review discusses plot points from both Venom: Let There Be Carnage and Kraven the Hunter, so proceed with caution if you haven't seen them. The films, while sharing a universe, feel tonally distinct and narratively disconnected. Venom: Let There Be Carnage leans into chaotic, over-the-top action and dark humor, while Kraven the Hunter attempts a more grounded, character-driven approach. This difference in style makes it difficult for the films to cohere within a shared cinematic universe. The post-credit scene in Let There Be Carnage promises a crossover, but the execution in Kraven the Hunter feels anticlimactic and underutilized. The potential for a compelling symbiote-centric storyline is present, but the films fail to effectively connect their narratives, resulting in a missed opportunity to build a cohesive and engaging universe. Ultimately, the shared universe feels more like a marketing ploy than a genuine creative endeavor, leaving viewers wanting a more integrated and satisfying experience.
