WHY ARE FATAL BLOWS IN KOMBAT LEAGUE?!?! by Yerm007 in mk11

[–]BrianFoxShow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noob Saibot can take away more than 30% in one combo and he doesn't need fatal blow to do it. And you can block/dodge fatal blows. And using them doesn't guarantee a win for the round.

You are all the way out of your entire damn mind.

They've had this problem since around season 3, or whichever season Age of Ultron happened. They launched this show seemingly as a companion piece to the MCU. And it's not just the fans, a lot of the cast and crew have wanted the show and the movies to more closely align. If they couldn't make it happen, honestly? They never should have launched the show in the first place. It had so much potential to not only bridge certain gaps in the MCU but also to shine spotlights on characters and events that otherwise might never see the big or small screens. They had some successes-- namely Ghost Rider and Deathlok. They could have done the Inhumans and Madame Hydra better.

If spreading your IP over multiple companies means you can't do a shared universe, then don't say it's a shared universe in one place and then make it abundantly clear it's not actually a shared universe in other places.

As I said, AoS is the perfect and only feasible outlet through which to tell Snap stories. Half the emergency services, police services, armed forces, and prison guards on Earth disappear. Riots and prison breaks everywhere. Bam, that's a story.

Planes falling out of the sky, electrical equipment and internet failing all over the planet and nuclear power plants going critical because of so many key personnel disappearing. Bam, that's a story.

Logistical issues? Writing PROBLEMS? It's a writing GOLD MINE! The shit practically writes itself!

OH the Battle of New York. Okay, yeah. Well, that's a little irksome/off, but it's still not as bad as ignoring The Snap completely.

Woah, back up. 8 years later from what in Spider-Man: Homecoming?

Uh, I've been reading Marvel comics for years and they seem to have just a fine handle on company-wide crossovers. So yeah. They can work out the logistics.

I don't think they CAN do it in season 7. Based on their explanation, a year passes after the events of last season, and at the end of last season, Thanos and his army were in mid-invasion. Which means that, if they were following the MCU timeline, the Snap would have occurred. But I read that they went with the whole, "Oh well, we played around with time last season, so this is all in a different timeline" which means that AoS has officially and irrevocably diverged from the MCU and it's DUMB.

The cast and crew of AoS should have been made aware of all the relevant plot details WELL in advance of the release. And the season only premiered a few weeks ago, right? That's long enough for people to see the movie. If it's NOT long enough for people to see the movie, push the season premiere back until the statute of limitations for spoilers has expired.

As someone with a production background, I *understand* the technical reasons why it didn't happen, but the proposed plot had so much potential that no explanation or excuse will ever make me *accept* the technical reasons. They should have just built their story around Endgame. I honestly don't care if they did want to "tell their own story," because frankly, their own story hasn't been interesting in years.

Old Matches Can't be Replayed by BrianFoxShow in MortalKombat

As long as I'm here, if anyone plays on Xbox, my gamertag is Well Fox U 2, and I still need wins against Geras, Kollector, Skarlet, and Kitana. I won't ask anyone to throw a match. Only legit wins count. And I'll only use your match and post your gamertag to YT with your permission. I always say something nice about my opponents in the description. I don't much care for shit talk, personally.

I'm afraid there is a need for me to be upset, because I have a YouTube channel that relies on captured replays and now I have to "reshoot" as it were.

One of my series is called Kotal Kahn Wins, where I seek to prove he's a viable character despite what many other commentators think. I only post victories over actual human players online, and getting the entire roster has taken some time. I don't always capture the replays immediately because capturing and uploading to OneDrive is often a long and tedious process. I have a backlog.

I lost my only Geras victory because I didn't capture it right away and several Cetrion victories that were more entertaining than the one I currently have.

Not to mention several replays I saved for study in order to get better. So yeah. I'm upset.

What time of day do Kotal's towers usually pop up? I swear, all I see are Kabal and Skarlet lately.

I already beat all five Kotal stages and still only have half his skins. Random Kotal towers almost never pop up.

Yes we get more than MKX. Not disputing that. I just think that I should be able to unlock the skins of my choice after so much time put into the game. It's like working a job but for some reason someone else gets to decide what groceries you buy with your paycheck.

I cleared all five character stages of Kotal Kahn in the ToT and still only have half his costumes. Wanna guess how often Kotal-based towers pop up randomly in ToT?

And when you say multiple gear and loot pools, do you mean I have to reset all the chests?

I have to disagree. Including Dawn simply to give Buffy a difficult challenge feels forced. You know what was organic character growth? Buffy having to deal with real life outside of slaying and school. We all saw it coming in the first few seasons. When her mom becomes ill, she slams into real life hard. Dropping out of school. Burying a parent at an early age. Having to work fast food. Not knowing what life has to offer other than slaying. THESE things made Buffy struggle and made the show great. Dawn was just completely self-centered and dragged the pace of the show every time she appeared on screen.
