How do you feel about the performance of the film studio during your tenure?

We’ve had mostly very, very good results. Unfortunately, [Kraven the Hunter] that we launched last weekend, and my last film launch, is probably the worst launch we had in the 7½ years so that didn’t work out very well, which I still don’t understand, because the film is not a bad film.

If Kraven the Hunter is "not a bad film", then I'm terrified to see what he considers a bad film.

I haven't seen Kraven, but Madame Web was a terrible film. Like an unfinished product, or a student film made by stitching together candid shots of b-list celebrities and volunteers from the local soup kitchen, made by people who had been told the story by a stranger on a transatlantic flight.

Kraven is at least better than Madame Web. Honestly, I thought it would do better as an anti-hero killing big-wigs, what with the pro Luigi sentiment as high as it is.

The pacing is actually very good for an origin story

I skipped through it on Netflix. Even then it wasn’t worth the watch

Kraven is probably ranks 3rd best in the Spider-Man without Spider-Man Universe, it's not terrible film, but that doesn't mean it's good.

Venom is surprisingly fun. Venom 2 is step down but it still has it's moments. Kraven, now we're stepping down even further. It's just above the line for what can be considered a film.

Sony needs to abandon whatever the hell they're doing, they can keep the animated stuff going but give the live action stuff back to Marvel Studios. Yes, Sony has the rights so they get some money too, that's fine.
