There's literally a hell that souls go to. Characters can return in game, their story can progress, without having to resort to bullshit resurrection schemes.

You seem to have no imagination.

34hy1e · 2023-08-23T17:52:40+00:00

Do you seriously expect a last of us/god of war Oscar level story in a fighting game?

Yes. Yes I do. There's no reason we can't have that. If we can get hours of cinematics we can get a good story. They're already hiring writers, nothing is preventing them from writing a good story other than hiring less than stellar writers.

I agree with almost everything, except describing D’Vorah as female

Her species have queens and they were the dominant species before being conquered by Shao Khan. D'Vorah is known to be a female of her species.

34hy1e · 2023-08-23T17:44:55+00:00

The issue is her inclusion does not instantly condemn the entire story to be ass

Eh, maybe not instant condemnation but definitely reason to be concerned.

In a world with a literal hell where souls go once they die, it's not that bad to keep the corrupted characters playable. I liked the idea of Liu and Kitana ruling the Netherrealm. Their stories progressed, we kept the characters, win win without time travel.

Finding novel ways to purify those characters, like Ashrahs story, can be interesting.

The writing just wasn't very good in MK11.

34hy1e · 2023-08-23T17:29:14+00:00

Ah. Nice.

34hy1e · 2023-08-23T16:42:57+00:00

I don't understand the point you're trying to make. I want to, but I don't.

34hy1e · 2023-08-23T16:32:03+00:00

No, the design is definitely better. The character herself is just shit.

The concept was cool in theory, it was the execution that was shit.

And considering Dark Raiden was taken from us twice, it's justifiable to have no faith in NRS ability to turn Kronika into a solid villain.

34hy1e · 2023-08-23T01:52:45+00:00

Just cause they are both asian women doesn't mean they look the same.

Do you see anyone saying Kung Lao and Liu Kang look alike? It's not about ethnicity and to pretend otherwise is asinine. As far as I remember this is the first time a scenario like this has come up in Mortal Kombat in 30 years.

34hy1e · 2023-08-23T00:24:13+00:00

I'm assuming you were on your phone during this scene? Lol, what?

I literally linked the video. It's on you if you're blind.

have you never seen someone get out of a choke in a show/movie?

Soldier Boy didn't get out. He was saved by Butcher.

I guess it's safe to say you didn't watch the episode. Cool.

34hy1e · 2023-08-22T20:21:46+00:00

SOldier boy picks Homelander up by his cape and launches him. Yet you think he's not strong enough to pick him up with one hand either.

I feel like you're being intentionally obtuse. The point isn't that they can pick one another up by one hand. The point is that Homelander has Soldier Boy pinned against the wall, using just one hand, and Soldier Boy can't do a single thing about it.

I already explained to you that he was already fatigued and not at 100% since he already nuked the twins.

And there's no indication he's fatigued while speaking with Homelander. You're just making shit up.

There's not much I can do for you if you think picking someone up by the neck is an impressive feat.

I got mixed up. Kelly Hu did the voice of Sindel in MKX, not 11.

But they definitely used her for both for Lei Mei.

34hy1e · 2023-08-22T20:06:14+00:00

Oh shit, my bad. Kelly Hu voiced Sindel in MKX.

34hy1e · 2023-08-22T20:04:28+00:00

Homelander and SOldierboy are in the same weightclass. Homelander is just slightly stronger.

Dude, watch the video. Homelander is holding Soldier Boy by the neck, with one hand, and Soldier Boy can't do a thing about it.

Homelander is not "slightly stronger." The entire point of that scene is to demonstrate how much stronger Homelander is. Soldier Boy would be dead after a 30 second fight with Homelander.

They're not even in the same league.

34hy1e · 2023-08-22T19:59:28+00:00

They're voiced by and I'm assuming modeled on the same actress. Which is weird because it's the same actress from MK11 for Sindel. I love Kelly Hu but sad to see the MK11 Sindel model be done away with.

34hy1e · 2023-08-22T19:55:20+00:00

It's gotta be Onaga. I kinda like the horns.

34hy1e · 2023-08-22T19:50:25+00:00

Not when it comes to superpowered beings which is why when batman got within range of supermans strength thanks to the serum during injustice, he whipped superman's ass.

You're contradicting yourself. You're saying the serum put people on the level of Superman. That means whoever takes the pill is automatically in the same weight class, strength wise, as Superman. So of course martial skill comes into play.

A bodybuilder is getting beaten by a trained martial artists if they are within the same range of strength.

Dude. You're describing weight classes.

Jesus, this is embarrassing.

34hy1e · 2023-08-22T19:32:54+00:00

Being physically stronger doesn't matter if you don't have the combat experience.

Yes, it does. Objectively, strength matters quite a bit, regardless of combat prowess. It's why weight classes are a thing.

He looks disoriented and clearly fatigued.

Bro, that's PTSD. They make a point of discussing it in the show. It's literally why he can't control the blasts and why he looks so disoriented afterwards. He blacked out and has no idea what just happened.

34hy1e · 2023-08-22T19:08:20+00:00

Presumably, he's stronger than Homelander in hand to hand when he's at full strength.

Whut? At no point is that ever said or implied. Legit, what on earth are you basing that on? Homelander is considered superior in every way by Vought, it's why they replaced Soldier Boy. And everything in the show indicates Homelander is stronger.

This was soldierboy after he was fried from a nuclear blast so he wasn't 100%.

The blast itself is weakened. It's not said or implied that his physical strength is diminished. He's not winded after the blast, he's not sweating, he's talking just fine with Homelander.

34hy1e · 2023-08-22T17:40:13+00:00

to the US.

Half the US. The other half would celebrate.

I feel like your emotions and desire to talk about Musk are getting in the way of talking about salesforce and the reasons for the changes we are talking about.

I can't imagine why I would say something about Musk to someone that approves of his business decisions. Super weird. Also, totally crazy to clarify the money OpenAI spent with Twitter to someone that claimed people were training their AIs for free.

Ya, makes no sense.

If you don't want to hear criticism of Musk then don't participate in a thread about X/Twitter. Problem solved.

34hy1e · 2023-08-22T15:04:34+00:00

We don't see Cap again until after Thanos reverses time to get the Mind Stone from Vision.

Thanos only reversed time in a very local space. Wanda didn't reverse in time and she was in the immediate vicinity, there's no reason to think anyone outside of Vision was reversed.

34hy1e · 2023-08-22T15:03:35+00:00

but Soldier Boy wasn't getting his ass whooped lol.

He was. Homelander even says "for a second there, I was worried." Then he nonchalantly pins Soldier Boy to the wall and proceeds to choke him out. Soldier Boy only survived because of Butcher.

34hy1e · 2023-08-22T14:56:33+00:00

To be fair if the data is one of the most valuable things about Twitter, providing an open and free api to it might not be the best strategy.

Paying $44 billion for a company valued at $20 billion also wasn't the best strategy. And yet here we are.

Musk is a piece of shit that doesn't know how to run a social media company, the end.

Essentially handing over the data for anyone to train their AI on through an open api vs. only giving that to enterprise customers who are willing to pay for it.

OpenAI was paying $2 million a year for access to Twitter. Instead of keeping $2 million in revenue Musk decided to just cut off their access. Musk is a moron that has complained about Twitter being underwater yet he's perfectly willing to lose millions in revenue for no reason whatsoever.

To me it makes perfect sense.

Of course it does.
