Who Did The Cop Turn Into In Venom 2

Okay, let's be honest. We all watched Venom: Let There Be Carnage. And most of us left scratching our heads about one thing. Who exactly did that police officer, Patrick Mulligan, turn into?

I mean, the movie *hints* at it. They give us a shadowy, tentacled glimpse. But did they *really* tell us? Nope!

Scream? Maybe Not So Much

A lot of people screamed, "Scream!" Get it? Because symbiote? Scream? Okay, I'll see myself out.

But seriously, was it Scream? My unpopular opinion? I'm not convinced. I think we got something...else. Something a bit more comic book deep-cut.

Hear me out. Think about it. Scream is already a known entity in the symbiote universe. Wouldn't they make a bigger deal about that?

The Case for...Toxin?

Now, let's throw another name into the ring: Toxin. Remember that name! Toxin is another symbiote.

He's the spawn of Carnage. And guess who the host is in some comic versions? You guessed it: Patrick Mulligan.

This isn't a coincidence folks. It's like the movie is winking at us, while loudly playing bad heavy metal. The signs are all there!

Consider the color scheme. Yes, we see some red. But there’s also a distinct blue tinge. Remember the brief glimpses? Isn't it suspiciously similar to the classic Toxin color palette?

Plus, Toxin is often portrayed as having a more heroic bent. Remember how Mulligan was a relatively good cop? It all fits, like a glove (or symbiote) that's been tailor-made.

Why It Matters (Kind Of)

So, why does this matter? Besides bragging rights at your next comic con? Well, it opens up some interesting possibilities for future movies.

If it *is* Toxin, we could get a hero symbiote who actually works with Venom. Imagine the buddy-cop dynamic! The potential for hilarious banter alone is worth it. "We are Toxin and... you smell."

Or, perhaps we'll get an even darker, more twisted version of Toxin. A hero struggling with inner demons. Think Anakin Skywalker, but with tentacles. Fun, right?

Of course, I could be totally wrong. Maybe they just wanted to create a cool-looking monster and weren't really thinking about the deep lore.

But hey, speculating is half the fun! And until we get official confirmation, I'm sticking with my gut. Mulligan is Toxin. And I’m ready for him to clean up the streets in a future sequel.

So, what do you think? Am I crazy? Or am I onto something? Let the debate begin!
