Venom: Let There Be Carnage; The Final Battle and What It Means For the Future!
Venom: The Last Dance – A Terrifying New Beginning for Sony's Spider-Man Universe!
After a wild six-year ride filled with insane action and darkly humorous moments, Tom Hardy's Venom trilogy slams shut with Venom: Let There Be Carnage! This is a seriously epic ending, creating an entire new arc filled with massive amounts of intensity! The movie sees Marvel's most infamous symbiote and its host take on a truly legendary threat that would eventually change everything.
The ending is mind-blowing. And those ending reveals totally change what awaits Sony’s Spider-Man Universe; the ending showcases the implications around that awesome God-tier villain: Knull! He is seriously dangerous and that totally opens the door for an incredible and possibly expansive new direction and some awesome new storytelling opportunities!
And that’s why this ending is important: we break down Eddie Brock’s story, highlight those hidden implications of the entire trilogy, and take a look at what the entire finale’s storyline really does. This new era isn’t merely the end–it is an amazing new start, creating those high expectations that Sony is aiming to continue!
Venom's Sacrifice: Saving the World (and Leaving a Messy Legacy)
The marketing hyped this up big time: Eddie or Venom had to die in Let There Be Carnage! And it's Venom who bites the dust. The climatic battle? Venom, some new symbiotes, and Earth’s military all take on Knull’s monstrous Xenophages; those are truly scary! This is some insanely intense, well-executed battle; demonstrating once again the creativity inherent within Sony's movie-making processes!
Venom absorbs those Xenophages and then, throws himself into a vat of acid to kill those beasts – saving Eddie (who then uses the steel door to shield himself as things explode). His dying words to Eddie? "Bye for now"— which was incredibly emotionally potent; a testament to the deep bond between them!
Here’s what was actually so critical about that encounter with Knull, his threat was dependent on obtaining the Codex! This thing was created only when the symbiote revives its host, this is critical because this specific event happened at the ending in Venom, where Venom revived Eddie! Those moments in the film, those previously revealed implications show a surprising degree of cohesion that makes this story arc much more appealing; And here, Venom's willingness to sacrifice himself; that same readiness really becomes another pivotal element that made this ultimate decision to end things so poignantly.
It remains slightly unclear exactly why that Codex is necessary for Knull’s escape. It's hinted that that Codex got destroyed when Venom killed those Xenophages; yet, there’s a much larger implied reality involved, and this brings some necessary explanation, and is hinted from Marvel Comics; this Codex doesn’t create solely upon this bond! This event only exists after the symbiote actually saves the host – after its separation.
Can Venom Still Return? Exploring the Codex’s Power!
If Sony follows those comic storylines and those existing hints concerning Codex's power, then Eddie might actually still have parts remaining within him; hinting towards potential resurrection – if it’s achieved properly!
Dr. Payne (Juno Temple) is vital! She bonded with that Area 55 symbiote – opening connections with this all-important Hive-mind! She might very well end up being another critical aspect needed in achieving future resurrection of the now deceased Venom.
That also leaves those mysterious Venom fragments that appear in earlier episodes that should not be overlooked: One ended up in Spider-Man: No Way Home’s ending, and another is kept by Strickland after that initial scene and bar encounter. And another subtle hint that that device keeping this Venom fragment is completely destroyed after Area 55’s explosions in Let There Be Carnage. Those clues alone really cement the high possibility that another symbiotic creature return is actually coming soon. Another hint, as Eddie awakes with an expunged criminal record (and praise!). That clearly sets up Eddie for his new phase; showing an expected future that had been foreshadowed earlier through some prior plot choices and themes!
Knull's Reign of Terror: A Thanos-Level Threat Awaits
Venom's sacrifice stopped Knull from escaping prison and ending all those terrifying things surrounding his goals concerning his ultimate, complete dominion and total control; yet, it's hinted at various points this defeat might only be a temporary delay! The hints are important to recognize and understand! The key message inherent in that storyline surrounding Knull, concerns the immense and insurmountable power and strength Knull will have even upon escape – highlighting exactly just why the entire movie production should create expectations and increase excitement towards new movies focusing entirely on this supremely powerful villain.
Kelly Marcel, the director of Let There Be Carnage already states more Knull is coming! This is a long-game plan and will become more evident later! It’s a setup comparable to Thanos! A truly massive threat deserving his own time for a grander reveal. His arrival in the Spider-Man Universe could be amazing! However the implications would also affect future collaborations; those key plans between Marvel and Sony; it will make for a major future plot!
Dr. Payne and Agony: A Potential Venom Replacement
After that explosion during Area 55’s final moments Dr. Payne finds another symbiote that might be a replacement for the deceased Venom. The movie production emphasizes this specific event, and its details hint that the Agony symbiote has bonded to her, hinting towards this new narrative. The plot devices around how this might've occurred make it even more clear that Agony's future presence might involve an upcoming sequel.
Eddie’s Statue of Liberty Moment: A Touching Ode to Freedom
That emotional final battle scene shows Venom healing Eddie. It also shows Venom's final desire to have finally experienced freedom on Earth – a very significant symbolic gesture towards this alien visitor from another world seeking new opportunities. It’s another unexpected touching aspect in that very critical moment and this adds intensity, yet it’s very understated; something else only revealed on close analysis.
Let There Be Carnage Post-Credits: Knull Awakens (Again!), and Venom's Potential Return
Let There Be Carnage’s credits tease the future: Knull's enraged and seeking vengeance; the hints of impending doom show an incredible level of intensity. That’s expected as there’s always something else to come! The Cockroach that's highlighted in the second credits scene adds intensity to that possibility around another Venom comeback, this thing’s near-indestructible. It perfectly implies how incredibly powerful the Venom symbiote can be, in an unexpectedly perfect conclusion.
Conclusion: The Venom Trilogy’s End is Just the Beginning of Something Much Bigger
Venom: Let There Be Carnage doesn’t end things completely. It's an amazing, unpredictable finale; setting up some insanely ambitious stories and incredible events that would clearly become central to Sony's plans, including exploring this immensely powerful villain– Knull. It has opened huge opportunities, and a possible collaboration with Marvel Studios, and if those earlier possibilities concerning Tom Hardy's return– or other symbiote hosts get developed– we could end up with stories rivaling that of the Avengers! There’s plenty to eagerly look forward to, especially when you consider that there's really a chance those insane possibilities and ideas would become real.
