Venom 3's Knull: Why Two Awesome Marvel Villains Died Too Soon!
Venom: Let There Be Carnage's Knull Reveal: A Missed Opportunity for Epic Villainy!
Get ready for some serious comic book movie talk, folks! Venom: The Last Dance is bringing the big bad, Knull, into the mix! And this totally throws some serious shade at both Sony's Spider-Man Universe and theMCU, for making some really questionable choices involving certain key characters that ended up dying far too soon. We're going to unpack why these choices made absolutely no sense given what transpired after!
Knull's introduction is awesome. In Venom 3, we're going to get the ultimate symbiote showdown. Yet before this arrives, there are some earlier deaths of highly significant villains and characters that got removed too early, which now seems completely unnecessary, almost ridiculous. It makes you really wonder just how this entire event would change things!
The Cosmic Horror of Knull: A Missed Connection
Knullis the king of the symbiotes. His arrival is massive— setting up epic opportunities within this new movie and creating anticipation; however, there are missed opportunities! That whole setup for theKnullstoryline? In Marvel Comics, it links directly to a massive storyline involvingGorr the God Butcherand evenCarnage. These connections remain extremely significant: Knull's origin connects directly to the arrival of theCelestialsin the original Marvel comic. That set up so many epic battles, that all tied together through Knull's creations.
But things never really had that epic battle or development for this kind of truly epic clash! Those missed chances? Well, that happens when you kill those involved too early. Gorrgot axed by theMCUafterThor: Love and Thunder. AndSony? They offedCarnageinVenom: Let There Be Carnage(by the way, he got his head eaten. That's not a good death!). Even that legendary weapon,All-Black the Necroswordappeared–yet those significant moments involving that pivotal artifact never quite materialized! The failure to emphasize just how important those pieces could have been really underminesKnull'simpact and undermines a lot of potential storylines.
Gorr and Carnage: The Villains That Could Have Been
The initial problems faced bothGorrandCarnagereceived very similar complaints; despite trying to convey this image of gruesome killers; that reputation remained severely hampered by those movies. Both had enormous potential for a significantly extended run. That's a big loss. Gorrwas supposed to be a serious threat toThor, his equivalent to a major villain likeLoki. AndCarnage? That'sVenom'sultimate nemesis! Yet,Gorrwas killed relatively easily duringThor: Love and Thunder,Carnagemet an ignominious end atVenom'shands. So much lost!
KeepingGorrandCarnagealive opens an amazing door for even more expansive plot development within theSonyverse and for more significant opportunities within theMCU. They could easily work together in a large team up involvingVenom,Gorr,andKnullto provide this seriously unique story arc never achieved before! They totally could have introducedCarnageinto theMCU. The lack of doing either of these things undermines a massive amount of potential which clearly was possible.
The Unlikely Returns of Gorr and Carnage: Could it Happen?
CarnageandGorr'sreturns now seem entirely unlikely, due to those previous deaths. TheVenomtrilogy is ending, Chris Hemsworth’s Thoris off facing new foes. And they really seemed to put to death Gorr and Carnage– there is little doubt.
Yet that does not mean nothing is possible! Marvel is infamous for their changes in the storyline that allows resurrected versions of prior characters – they may simply add another villain and story; or a unique iteration of an existing one– something found before which creates the basis for another highly unlikely event! There’s this thing called theMultiverse, folks.There could be new iterations in theMCU’s Earth-616, possibly withTom Holland's Spider-Man! Even Knull’sexistence opens so many doors that we might get some surprises later in upcoming releases from both the MCU and Sony!
Conclusion: Knull's Arrival Highlights Massive Missed Potential!
Knull'sarrival highlights those massive misses within those earlierMarvelmovie choices! BothSonyandMCUseriously whiffed; killing off big villains entirely too soon! While some fan demands might not get perfectly executed (there's no Thor, no connection to the MCU’s Gorr!),Knull's presence still creates those major new opportunities. It makes viewers eagerly anticipate the potential results – a story waiting to be further explored which emphasizes its future impact in upcoming releases!
