Yeah, I’ll never look at it the same way again tbh. Now it just looks kinda gruesome lol.
But… But… Lizzie was a Carmine! The true Carmine’s fate is DEATH! 
Yet Clayton keeps evading that fate repeatedly. So it doesn’t count.
And I’m also a believer in that if a character you create is good, you should keep them alive for at least one game and give the character more than just a few freaking minutes of screentime to them be pointlessly killed off. I don’t care about “Carmine tradition” in Gears, Gears 3 already broke with it and I’m getting seriously tired of everyone(almost everyone) just considering the characters as “joke or meme material”, even some people at TC, which is just ridiculous. Some clearly do care about the Carmines more than just that, considering the fan poll to make Clayton survive or die ended with him surviving Gears 3.
And yes, I’m quite annoyed by this.
“What’s the best way to utilize this character with potential?”
“Hm… oh, I know. It’s a Carmine so let’s give her a completely pointless and avoidable death scene to serve as cannon fodder for the idiot JD, instead of actually making use of that potential and/or at least giving her a death completely ignoring how we introduced the character.”
“Yeah, that’s a great idea which I’m sure will be loved by everyone in the fanbase just like our hero system. Let’s do that.”
If you’re going for that Kurt Russell vibe, add a dizzy hat. Now that would be a winter jd skin to buy
Maybe Clayton is not really a Carmine, but possibly adopted by the Carmine family!? 
He sounds exactly like his brothers.
Until all that unbridled rage made him lose his voice, so now his voice is deeper and calm.
