The horror.
— it only makes sense for Marvel to embrace pulp. And with Disney Plus, there’s a ready-made platform for more experimental ventures, which is whereis a 50-minute “special presentation” shot mostly in black and white that has more in common with classic monster movies than the adventures of the Avengers.
The idea is that each of the hunters — ranging from the brutal Jovan to the mysterious Linda — will compete to take down a monster that has the Bloodstone attached to it. The stone will weaken the creature and also make it extra pissed off, just to make things more exciting. The winner becomes leader of the hunter fraternity and gets to wield the Bloodstone.
The most refreshing thing about the special, though, is how it barely feels like a Marvel production at all. Part of that is stylistic — everything from the set design to the costumes to the actual monsters fits perfectly with the retro horror aesthetic, which is a far cry from the CG-laden shininess typical of MCU movies and shows.
