** Both Carnage Forever and the main series treat the Carnage symbiote as being the original spawned by the Venom symbiote when it's actually a piece of the Grendel symbiote-dragon with the original Carnage symbiote's consciousness controlling it. This isn't the first time this happened either; there have been other instances of the original Carnage symbiote being killed and replaced only for the original's remaining mind and biomatter to overtake the ne one.

** After escaping Carnage, Kenneth Neely tries to recruit [[spoiler:Cletus Kasady to stop his former symbiote from becoming a god of destruction]].
* FreudianSlip:
** Despite disparaging Cletus and his love of chaos at every opportunity, the Carnage symbiote has slipped up a few times -- revealing it still admires and genuinely misses him but is too bitter and angry over their falling-out to admit it.
** Cletus, for all his insistence that he doesn't care what the Carnage symbiote is doing, gets very upset when Kenneth attributes its GodhoodSeeker plan to the symbiote, shouting that the plan was his and sulking when Kenneth points out how worked-up he's getting.


Added DiffLines:

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
** Kenneth Neely initially idolizes Carnage, but gradually realizes that something is very wrong due to the sanguine symbiote's insistence on strictly following a plan, disdainfully disparaging Cletus at every opportunity, and mocking its former host's love for wanton chaos and aimless slaughter; ultimately deciding to recruit Cletus into helping stop it.
** Following his brush with godhood in ''Absolute Carnage'', Cletus plotted to usurp the throne of the King in Black -- coming up with the very plan his former symbiote is executing -- but decided that no amount of slaughter could match his twisted imagination and opted to just use the Extrembiote to bring that to life while preying on those foolish enough to disturb him. Kenneth pulls a BatmanGambit to snap Cletus out of his TheShutIn phase, leading to the events of ''ComicBook/CarnageReigns''.


Added DiffLines:

* TheShutIn: Following his falling out with the Carnage symbiote, Cletus retreated to St. Estes and isolated himself inside it until Kenneth Neely baited him into going on a good old-fashioned murder spree.

Cletus -- who was about to kill Neely -- susses out what Neely is trying to do but decides to play along anyway, amusedly saying he understands why his former symbiote found Neely interesting.
