What the Venom 2 Post Credits scene shows
When Eddie Brock and Venom team up to fight escaped serial killer Cletus Kasady they retreat to a dilapidated hotel room on a desert island. And while they watch a soap opera in bed, Venom reveals he’s been keeping a secret from Brock:
“We all have a past, Eddie. 80 billion light years of knowledge across universes would blow up your little brain, I’m going to give you a sample of just the smallest fraction of the things that symbiotes have experienced.”
The room rumbles and Venom asks “What’s going on?” as his mind meld turns into a bright, flickering yellow light. Suddenly, and inexplicably, the room goes still. The soap opera on defective television is over, superseded by a breaking news report from TheDailyBugle.net announcer J. Jonah Jameson (JK Simmons).
A shocked and disoriented Eddie sees how the room has been transformed. “What have you done? “” It wasn’t me. “Venom says as Eddie turns his attention to the reveal unfolding on television, where a Daily Bugle exclusive exposes high school student Peter Parker as the “spider menace” disguised in the scene that ended ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ by Marvel and Sony.
Venom covers Brock’s body when Parker is mentioned. Spider-Man’s identity is revealed to the world and Venom growls “That kind”, sticking out his long tongue to lick the television while broadcasting Tom Holland’s Spider-Man footage. Suddenly, a man comes in on vacation in a swimming trunks, puzzled by a disoriented Eddie Brock and asks him “Friend, what are you doing in my room?“but Eddie doesn’t know how he got there.
The implications of Venom 2’s post-credit scene
Apparently the yellow boom in the room looks like the magic that puts the genie in the bottle of ‘Doctor Strange’ (Benedict Cumberbatch) that is also glimpsed in the trailer of ‘Spider-Man: no way home’, where the Sorcerer warns Parker about the dangers of what he wishes for. But since the ‘Venom 2’ post-credits scene seems to happen at the same time as ‘Far From Home’, it suggests that neither Venom nor Doctor Strange are responsible for transporting Eddie to another universe.
The explanation that the theories shuffle is that the actions of Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) in the series ‘Loki’ have unleashed a multiverse of madness when he takes down the one who remains (Jonathan Majors) in the Citadel at the end of time. Another possibility is Knull, the creator and god of symbiotes, who rules the hive-mind of the symbiote known as “The Hive”. In the comics, one of Knull’s many powers is temporal manipulation, which gives him the ability to interact with the multiversal timeline.
The director of ‘Venom 2’, Andy Serkis, already hinted at a crossover between the two universes when he recently said that the worlds of Venom and Spider-Man would collide “big time“Sony Pictures president Sanford Panitch said that” there is a plan “for the crossover and if ‘Venom 2’ does well at the box office it is very likely there is a third party.
Lukewarm reviews for ‘There Will Be Carnage’
Although they are more positive than expected, after the disappointing first installment, the mixed reactions have achieved an acceptable 60% rating on Rottentomatoes with 100 reviews, which is not hopeless, but on Metacritic it does not get approved and it does not prevent bad reactions from being highlighted. For instance:
“The viewing experience is like going to a nightclub and having someone yell the plot in your ear over a hard-hitting bass line. Ironic, given that Venom’s greatest weakness is sound waves.”
David Sims The Atlantic
“This is, in essence, a slapstick bloodbath on two threesomes, both in desperate need of couples therapy.”
Amy Nicholson New York Times
“While Serkis and the returning screenwriter Kelly Marcel have kept the lightness of the first film (there’s none of that darker sequel nonsense here) and an outdated idea of cool … they’ve lost just about everything else. , a bunch of monster mush that should have been left in the lab. “
Benjamin Lee The Guardian
“The goofy lightness was the great strength of the first film, which everyone involved seems to have realized and surrendered to in the sequel.”
Christy Lemire RogerEbert.com
“It’s the worst movie Tom Hardy ever made. It’s the worst movie Woody Harrelson ever made. And it’s the worst movie Michelle Williams ever made.”
Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle
“Fans of the feature film by [Ruben] Fleischer won’t be disappointed at all by Andy Serkis ‘faithful sequel, which sticks to the formula of the first – that formula is, of course,’ let star Tom Hardy do whatever he wants, even better if somehow. that involves crustaceans. ‘
Kate Erbland Indie Wire
“Yes, ‘Venom 2’ is better than the first ‘Venom’, but even going to the dentist was better.”
