When Venom came out in cinemas in 2018, it was met with mixed reactions from movie critics and Marvel fans. Fans loved it for its chaotic plot and Tom Hardy's overacting, but critics hated it for its bad script and lack of direction. The first Venom movie has comedic elements, such as the scenes where Eddie Brock climbs inside a lobster tank and Venom possesses a small dog, but it never fully commits to these bizarre moments. Venom works as a new introduction to the character, dismissing the symbiote's involvement in Spider-Man 3 and focusing on Venom and Eddie instead.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage embraces the character's comedic tone and the film generally takes itself less seriously. Venom's script seems to be more concerned with establishing Venom as a dangerous alien symbiote and a menacing character, while Venom 2 shows Venom as more of an annoying roommate who needs to eat human brains to survive. Venom's voice is even higher-pitched and his line delivery is more over the top in Venom 2, as seen in this YouTube video comparing the character's voice in both movies.

The use of the lower-pitched voice in Venom makes the character come across as more deadly and menacing, and it is clear that the filmmakers wanted the audience to perceive Venom as a legitimate threat. Giving the symbiote a higher-pitched and funnier voice in Venom 2 shows that the filmmakers were taking Venom 2 less seriously than Venom, which is why it's more enjoyable to watch.

Venom 2 definitely doesn't shy away from the ridiculousness of the characters in other aspects too. The disgruntled roommate dynamic between Eddie and Venom is fun to watch, especially when Venom creates chaos in the kitchen and the audience learns that he has two chickens that are his best friends. The line delivery and acting from Shriek and Cletus Kasady are exactly as overdramatic as fans were hoping when Venom 2 came out in cinemas. Other absurd scenes, like the rave scene where Venom gives a speech about coming out of the Eddie closet, make Venom 2 much more entertaining than the first Venom film.

The team behind Venom 2 seems to have understood what fans are looking for in movies from this franchise -- absurdity, chaos and over-the-top acting. Venom 2 delivers as a movie that's so bad it's good and gives fans plenty of wild scenes and lines to look forward to, including possibly one of the best uses of an F-bomb in an R-rated movie since Hugh Jackman's cameo in X-Men: First Class. The change in Venom's voice is one of many small details that makes Venom 2 funnier and more true to the character's wild nature.
