I think Mysterio has a good origin. He was screwed over by Spider-Man in his past and is now out for revenge, and uses his technical genius to do it. I think that is more interesting than Kraven coming to NY to hunt Spider-Man to prove he is the best hunter of all.
That's not going into details about the background of Kraven, his noble blood, the training in Africa, the mysterious potions etc. Him trying to take down the ultimate prey, leading to him in the end becoming desperate and actually burying him alive.
Don't get me wrong, I love Mysterio. He's one of my favourites. But the whole stunt man / film work backstory is too lame to me. I love everything else about him, especially that he's studied Spider-Man into detail. I thought the revenge motivation was just in the 90's cartoon though? In the comics, isn't it more about him wanting to "steal the spotlight" originally? I'd prefer that over yet another "revenge" motivation. I'm kinda sick of those now.
