Carnage Rulez!!!-An Appreciation Thread

[Venomous Mask]

Yeah, David Goyer had a script written for the proposed flick. I wonder how it would've been done without Spider-Man's involvement ?

Carnage did face off with Ben Reilly when the latter was Spider-Man, and it involved Reilly being possessed briefly by the Carnage symbiote for a short while. Giving us the rather popular Spider-Carnage.

I'm always up for Cleatus running into Jack Russel, Werewolf By Night, for a monster throwdown, with the symbiote possessing Jack. Giving us CARNAGE BY NIGHT.

Probably just would have been Eddie with an alien suit that spawned and joined Kasady. It's possible that Venom might not have been given a spider symbol even, like what happened with Ultimate Venom. The new Venom movie is going to be highly inspired by the work of Carpenter and Cronenberg, so we might get something very bizarre.

Spider-Carnage needs to come back in some form or another; given how spider people have been flooding in from all over the multiverse, there's no reason why not. He could possibly be used to prop up Scarlet Spider's flagging sales, like how Venom was used to boost RYV. One idea I had was to have a Man-Spider vs. Spider-Carnage limited series.

I like that Carnage By Night idea; Carnage has had experience with werewolves in his dealings with John Jameson, so it could all fit together.

I actually want to get into reading some Carnage stuff again. I read Maximum Carnage and felt it dragged on much longer than it needed to. Read Carnage Vs Deadpool, which I thought was quite good. I enjoyed the Axis story where he was good for a brief time. The annual with his best friend is another underrated story. The one where he escaped captivity and painted himself red was okay, but I don't remember it all that much.

I still gotta read the Silver Surfer issues. Those look cool.

[Starter Set]

Bought myself the trade version of Maximum Carnage and boy, is that a decent read or what?

Shriek, Cloak, Dagger, Venom, Bodybuilder Peter Parker, MJ in all her 90's glory and of course Spidey's cute doppelganger. (and many other things)

Very enjoyable.

I think the fights got more repetitive after the nightclub fight, but there were still some great scenes; Venom in the Statue of Liberty, Peter's ruminations on morality, and the final fight. I'm just sad that Bagley didn't get to draw all of the finale.

[Starter Set]

Very true about the fights, it kinda feels like you're reading the same big bar brawl over and over again. But i sure love the casting, the thematic and issues Pete and the others face during that quite rough ordeal.

[The One and Only]

Screw Attack's DEATH BATTLE presents Carnage throwing down with Lucy from the manga/anime, Elfin Lied. I'll get the mop.

P.S.-It might be just me, but switch on the subtitles for the fight. Carnage's dialogue was a little hard for me to pick up.

Anyone else disappointed that Carnage hasn't bonded to Otto in comics. I thought Octo-Carnage was cool in the video game, but you never fought him, just ran away from him.

Maybe it will be depicted in future marvel comics.

The Carnage Symbiote died. And when he landed moments later, so did Kasady. Locals found his body and turned it over to the proper authorities, He was so badly burned, he was identifiable only by Dental Records, and his name sent several hundred red flags screaming on the top of Every Agency’s Watchlists, But the Cult that revive him- They watch the watchlists, they stole his Body back, and took it somewhere where they could use Knull and more symbiotes to resurrect GOD'S DARK CARNAGE. Once revived, Kasady kills the person responsible for his revival to consume part of their symbiote, reverting back to his old colour and look, before planning to aid Knull in his return, by absorbing every trace of symbiotes, in everyone who ever carried them, setting up Carnage to go on a killing spree once again, and face off with just about every major player in the Marvel Universe, from Spiderman and Venom, to Deadpool and Wolverine and even Groot and Silver Surfer.
