What Did The Cop Turn Into In Venom 2
Venom 2: Okay, But What WAS Up With Mulligan?
Let's be honest, Venom: Let There Be Carnage was… a lot. But one thing has been bugging me more than Carnage's questionable CGI.
It's about officer Patrick Mulligan, Eddie Brock's frenemy cop. He goes from grumpy lawman to… something else entirely.
Was He Just Another Symbiote?
We see him get stabbed (ouch!). Later, bright blue eyes flare up. He's suddenly super strong.
Must Read
So, was he just another symbiote host? Like, a mini-Venom running around? Maybe!
The movie hints at it, but doesn't exactly scream "SYMBIOTE BONDING!" I mean, come on, Marvel!
My Unpopular Opinion: He Became a Human Battery
Here's where things get interesting. What if Mulligan wasn't a full-on symbiote host?
What if Carnage, or more likely Shriek, used him as a weird energy source? Like a human Duracell bunny.
Think about it: Shriek's powers are sonic. She manipulates sound, right?
Maybe she drained Mulligan's life force to amplify her abilities. Hence, the glowing eyes and temporary super strength.
Think of it Like a Sci-Fi AA Battery
It’s kind of out there, I know. But hear me out!
Shriek is all about chaos and using others. Using Mulligan like a power-up for her voice makes sense to me.
He becomes a conduit, a living amplifier. A very temporary, and unfortunate, one.
Why This Makes (Weird) Sense
This explanation sidesteps the whole "another symbiote just chilling" scenario. It feels... lazy.
Plus, it adds another layer to Shriek's cruelty. She doesn't just want to hurt people; she wants to use them.
And let's face it, the movie was already pretty bonkers. Why not add a dash of human battery powered villainy?
The Blue Eyes, Explained (Maybe)
The glowing blue eyes? Side effect of the power drain, obviously. Think of it like charging your phone too much.
The screen gets all wonky, right? Same principle! Just...with more agonizing pain, probably.
Okay, Maybe I'm Wrong
Look, I know this theory is probably way off base. Maybe he is just another symbiote host.
But where's the fun in that? Let’s overthink this whole thing and get a good laugh.
Besides, my version is way more fun. Don't you agree?
So What's the Verdict?
Ultimately, Mulligan's transformation remains a bit of a mystery. The movie glosses over the details.
But for me? He's a reluctant human battery. It's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
What do you think happened? Let me know, but be prepared for my unwavering commitment to the "human battery" theory!
