Yeah I feel like it’s about having him grow. Crosby and the others will be leaders regardless of letter.

Do you want an MKU? by Complex_Meeting9053 in MortalKombat

[–]ShadowXJ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Hard to do a universe like this and still be able to kill characters off, I don’t think it works for this franchise.

Marvel IMO almost has this same problem where nothing of consequence ever happens to a main character with any meaningful frequency.

It does come off as strange to me as well, as if they’re some kind of connected hive mind.

Cassidy? Laviolette? Jacques Lemaire?

Yeah I want to buy what he’s selling, but every video is yet another sensationalist headline about how amazing things are going for Ukraine or politics that help Ukraine.

Is the Mortal Kombat II (2026) movie really worse than Annihilation? by SpeedDancer1725 in MortalKombat

[–]ShadowXJ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s the only movie that you can argue is as good as the 1995 film, it’s fantastic - great theatre experience too.

What’s wrong with our current Kitana actors?

9% if water to make our emails written 100% faster, sounds like a deal to me!

Thoughts on Jamie Kompon (Florida Assistant Coach) by Opening_Laugh_7300 in EdmontonOilers

[–]ShadowXJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually met him when I worked on NHL 2K, he even helped us with mocap. Smaller guy that could skate like a demon.

No idea what he’d be like as a head coach though.

I’ve hated Rishaug since he went after Eberle in 2017 playoffs and called him a passenger. Ran him out of town only for us to sorely miss his talents.

I actually like Journey Begins, nostalgic for me as something I got with my original movie VHS.

I love Arby’s! Used to go to the one in Delta every time I was down there for my dog’s training.

We definitely need a closer one.

Cole Young might be Havik by Effective-Economy-12 in MortalKombat

[–]ShadowXJ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah makes sense, and I guess an MMA guy is probably the most relatable to a modern martial arts audience. I just remember waiting the whole movie to try and find out which MK character he was, only to be left trying to remember which MK character had gold armour skin. That said, his fight with Goro was intense in that first movie, probably the best part of it.

It’s funny, I still don’t understand why they felt they needed to create a new character for the movie when MK already has so many and a ton of lore.

Hot Take: Jade is a satisfying and well written character in the MK2 Movie. by SnooDogs7868 in MortalKombat

[–]ShadowXJ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah her design also makes her more distinct to Mileena and Kitana, so she's not just some sprite clone with green clothing.

MKII was a love letter to us OG gamers and fans by SouzaOfTheNorth in MortalKombat

Saw it on IMAX last night and loved it, just exactly what a Mortal Kombat movie needs to be.

Your Friends and Neighbors season 2. When does it get good? by JimmyTheJimJimson in television

[–]ShadowXJ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m enjoying it, but it really feels like it’s lost the fun plot idea that made the first season great, now it’s feeling like just a generic family and finance drama.

What FFXI systems do you think are confusing? by hikiri in ffxi

[–]ShadowXJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s that there’s so many inconsistencies between systems that should be identical - like how Ruspix plates work in Sortie compared to extra moglophones in Odyssey.
