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

This review contains spoilers for both Venom: Let There Be Carnage and Kraven the Hunter. Proceed with caution if you haven't seen these films.

Let's delve into the cinematic universe of symbiotes and hunters. While both Venom: Let There Be Carnage and Kraven the Hunter offer action-packed thrills, they fall short in delivering a cohesive narrative experience. The films, while entertaining in their own right, lack the depth and interconnectedness one might expect from a shared universe. The plotlines feel somewhat isolated, hindering the establishment of a truly compelling overarching story. The characters, while visually striking and well-acted, don't fully utilize the potential for dynamic interactions and development that a shared universe could offer. The post-credit scenes, intended to hint at future crossovers, feel somewhat forced and lack the organic build-up necessary to generate genuine excitement for future installments. Ultimately, while individually watchable, the films fail to successfully integrate their narratives, leaving the audience with a sense of missed opportunities within this particular cinematic universe.
