A lot has been said about the various Sony Spider-adjacent movies. The latest (and reportedly last) of these, Kraven, is no exception.
He has changed and grown a great deal through the course of the two seasons of his Disney+ series, and now that it has reached an end in “Glorious Purpose,” a phrase that’s been part of Loki’s mythos throughout his MCU journey.
But Sony kept cranking out various movies with Spider-Man related characters that the general public was likely unfamiliar with. The only one of these to meet any measure of success was Venom, who is now back for his third and final (allegedly) outing in Venom: Last Dance.
I’m going to give a brief recap of the history of the group in the comics. There will be spoilers, but it’s to a story that started in 1997, so I kind of feel that the prohibition there is long gone. The team using that name has undergone a lot of different changes.
I have a long-running policy of avoiding spoilers in my reviews. There will not be any below.
Loki, Mobius, and the rest have a lot of unexpected things to deal with in “Science Fiction.”
Some have been tragic, some dramatic, and a few have been more on the humorous side. “What If Happy Hogan Saved Christmas?” is definitely one of those. There’s all kinds of action and a few nods to assorted Christmas stories as we see an Avengers Christmas party like no other.
When Disney+ starting making shows set in the MCU, they included an animated version of What If, which featured many of the stars of the movies coming back to reprise their roles. It was so successful, it became the second Marvel series on Disney+ to get more than one season, just behind Loki. Returned for a new series of could-have-been tales, What If started off with an out of this world story.
The TVA has a new status quo to adapt to, individual present and former members get a lot of unexpected revelations, and there are a lot of startling events for all concerned. The Sacred Timeline is indeed a multiverse now, as we see when we get a look in “The Heart of the TVA.”
