On the other hand, the areas of the Cloverfield universe that were explained by The Cloverfield Paradox were things that would’ve worked better if the film had opted to keep them mysteries.
Between Cloverfield and 10 Cloverfield Lane, most audiences had come to a consensus that the Cloverfield universe operated based on multiverse rules, in the same vein as The Twilight Zone.
However, The Cloverfield Paradox takes things one step further to explain that the firing of the Shepard accelerator specifically caused the rift in space and time that brought the monsters to earth in the first place.
That’s a level of explanation almost as bad as the introduction of midichlorians to the Star Wars franchise in The Phantom Menace, and it ruins a lot of what made the Cloverfield world cool in the first place.
