I'm disappointed Carnage hasn't appeared in Midnight Suns (yet)

[undeadpriest94]

I'm honestly stunned by the lack of attempt to bring Carnage into Midnight Suns. After all, he'd likely have been very happy to serve Lilith if it meant causing endless destruction with a new magical upgrade. Heck, the guy actually has a connection to Chthon, so he'd at least have meshed well into this.

He could be introduced in the DLC, but it'd honestly be far too late, as he'd have been perfect for the Venom DLC, rather than featuring Dracula (who has virtually no connection to Dracula at all). Having him appear with Morbius or Storm would just be a case of "throw him in anywhere" without thought.

Missed opportunity, is there anything this game did right.

Not here for jokes. Just want to know if people share the same mindset as me with this.

I'm also surprised that Thor isn't in this game considering his connection to the Elder Gods. Cthon is Thor's uncle through his mother Gaea (unless that's been retconned). That would also make him related to The Hunter, Caretaker, and Lilith.

Combat. There is the entire list and even that is debatable from person to person.

Honestly, while I can see that connection, I feel bringing Thor would have been more "pandering the MCU crowd" than "fitting with the game". Plus, his connection to the Elder Gods is more meager compared to Carnage making a direct deal with Chthon or Scarlet Witch having been possessed by Chthon multiple times.

Nah, can't really agree - Venom can be reasoned with to an extent, Carnage has literally zero redeeming qualities and the only way he'd be playable is through some kind of mind control or something. Every time Carnage has been given great power or a connection of some kind that gives said power, he's tried to use it to kill as many people as possible, once or twice being the entire world/universe

Venom on the other hand is just... y'know, angry and conflicted about things, and extremely hungry with poor impulse control. There's a reason when Carnage shows up, Venom gets on Spidey's side, after all

Bringing in someone as irredeemably, unquestionably insane and malicious as Carnage would require a lotta finagling to justify him being able to even hold a conversation worth having with the Hunter, building even a simple relationship, etc.

I say all this as a BIG symbiote appreciator who wishes Carnage was in more games. I'd... be OKAY with Carnage in this game just because I love them, but, I don't really think Midnight Suns is a good fit for them. Not like all the other DLC characters coming, they're all infinitely more justifiable

UNLESS OF COURSE YOU MEANT CARNAGE AS AN ENEMY, in which case absolutely, I would LOVE that. Not... anywhere near as much to type about that so I apologize if that was all typed in misunderstanding, but yeah, I totally agree on Carnage as a real tough boss showing up somewhere, that'd be fun af

Yes, I meant as an enemy. Guy's a murderous psychopath. Guy would be happy to get a power boost if it means causing more havoc and bloodshed. There's no WAY the Midnight Suns could get him to side with them, but he'd be fine if a witch lady were to be all "Here, I make you even harder to stop, now paint the town red!"
