Maximum Carnage/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Complete Monster: Carnage. The other villains had varying degrees of humanizing qualities.
  • Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: When the rioters come to their senses and rally behind the heroes.
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: Green Jellÿ's soundtrack for the game is headbangingly awesome.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: After the climactic graveyard battle in which Carnage is finally recaptured, Black Cat wonders aloud if the nightmare is really over. In the final panel, Spider-Man, who is all of a sudden standing between the graves of Norman and Harry Osborn, tell us that "Some monsters stay dead." Well, so much for THAT sentiment...
  • Moment of Awesome: Captain America, making his presence known, as only Captain America can.
  • Narm: In one scene, the heroes quell a riot not by throwing punches but by talking sense into the mob. This is fine in the case of characters like Spidey and Captain America, but in one of the most awkward, weird, hilariously out of place scenes in the entire crossover, Deathlok comes across a nerd looting a computer supply store. When the nerd recognizes Deathlok and geeks out over his tech specs (remember, he's a cyborg), Deathlok sternly reminds the young man that stealing computers isn't cool. That's right, Deathlok the Demolisher has a heart to heart moment with a larcenous nerd.
  • Squick: The Carnage symbiote emerging from Kasady's wounds is pretty gross.
  • That One Boss: The giant robot guarding the sonic gun in the game.
