5 Things About ‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’ That Made Zero Sense and 5 Things That Made Perfect Sense

The sequel is loud, fast, and messy. It also has moments that work well and moments that do not. Some choices feel clear and grounded. Others feel random and rushed.

Here are five things that made zero sense and five that made perfect sense. We’ll switch back and forth so you can see the contrast.

Zero Sense: Carnage Gains New Powers Without Rules

Carnage creates tornadoes, stretches into spikes, and shifts shape at will. The movie rarely sets limits on what he can do.
Without rules, any fight can swing for plot reasons. This lowers the stakes because nothing feels consistent.

Perfect Sense: Carnage Is Born From Eddie’s Blood

Cletus bites Eddie and swallows a bit of symbiote. That is a simple, direct cause for Carnage to appear.
A symbiote fragment entering the bloodstream is an easy idea to accept. It neatly explains why Carnage is linked to both men.

Zero Sense: Shriek’s Sound Weakness Is Ignored When Convenient

Symbiotes cannot handle loud sound. Shriek’s scream should be a constant problem for Carnage.
Yet the movie lets them team up for long stretches. The weakness only kicks in when the plot needs drama.

Perfect Sense: Venom’s Hunger for Brains and Chocolate

Venom needs certain chemicals to feel stable. Brains and chocolate are his quick fixes.
This explains his cravings and many jokes. It also sets up Eddie’s small compromises, like keeping pet chickens.

Zero Sense: The Church Finale Stretches Logic

Cletus plans a “wedding” in a crowded church with almost no pushback from police. The timing and response feel off.
The building collapses in wild ways during the fight. The physics look cool but do not add up.

Perfect Sense: Eddie and Venom’s Odd-Couple Bond

They argue, split, and reunite. That is normal for a host and symbiote still learning to share control.
Their bickering leads to growth. By the end, they fight better because they finally listen to each other.

Zero Sense: The Prison Break Security Is Paper-Thin

A lethal injection triggers Carnage, yet the facility seems unprepared for any anomaly.
Staff and guards fall fast with little coordination. It feels like the movie speeds past basic precautions.

Perfect Sense: Cletus and Frances’ Toxic Romance

Their bond starts in a harsh system and never heals. Each pushes the other toward chaos.
This makes their joint plan believable. They want freedom at any cost, and they do not care who gets hurt.

Zero Sense: Detective Mulligan’s Sudden Tease With No Payoff

Mulligan’s eyes change and hint at future powers. The setup comes late and without clear groundwork.
It works as a sequel hook, but it undercuts this story. The tease distracts from the ending we just watched.

Perfect Sense: The Post-Credits Multiverse Nod

The final stinger moves Eddie and Venom into a wider world. Strange events can shift people between universes.
This fits the series’ tone and opens new doors. It also pays off hints that symbiotes may share knowledge across realities.
