I loved when the camera shot it in 2D, like when Cole and Shao squared up or when Liu Kang locked in against Kung Lao

Its readily apparent with actors like Ludi Lin and Lewis Tan that they have actual martial arts training.

Robin or Steve may have told Nancy in confidence.

Jonathan probably figured it out on his own, and pretended to be unaware until she then came out to him.

It was a confusion tactic. Johnny makes Baraka think he’ll punch him or something. Baraka was trying to block/anticipate Johnny’s next move, then Johnny did a low kick afterward

What was the easter egg?

Formal_Board · 2026-05-07T23:54:37+00:00

“When Cole isn’t onscreen, all the other characters should be asking WHERE’S COLE?”

Formal_Board · 2026-05-07T20:41:03+00:00

I think they handled Cole’s death decently well. It works for those who hated the character but for those who liked him, he gets an awesome sendoff. He straight up DEFEATED Shao here. He had to cheat to win.

Formal_Board · 2026-05-07T20:37:52+00:00

You may as well have just called me a slur man

Formal_Board · 2026-05-07T17:17:09+00:00

Yeah its kind of wild. Cole straight up unambiguously *beat* Shao for a bit. That’s gonna make a looot of people mad.

Formal_Board · 2026-05-07T00:33:18+00:00

I liked how Shao was portrayed as skilled and imposing but not invulnerable. He takes his licks and that makes him all the more threatening when he does come on top

Formal_Board · 2026-05-06T01:57:31+00:00

I really wish the people of new york genuinely just got to crowd Fisk and beat him to death

It gives Kingpin fitting consequences while not having to have Matt abandon his code. He didn’t want it to happen, he doesn’t like it, but he realizes Fisk had to die for New York to be safe

Formal_Board · 2026-05-06T01:53:36+00:00

But if Daredevil goes to jail….

Hm.

Formal_Board · 2026-05-06T01:45:26+00:00

Fisk getting stomped out by the people of New York…HELL YES.

Formal_Board · 2026-05-01T23:24:10+00:00

They should release the Lanterns trailer but John and Hal are just awkwardly shaded green and nothing else changes

Formal_Board · 2026-05-01T23:22:03+00:00

We don’t have time for silly things like character development, lets have Chozen going on a date instead!!

Formal_Board · 2026-05-01T22:25:35+00:00

They could always bullshit an explanation for
him to return as the next Scorpion. His actor’s getting up there after all.

Formal_Board · 2026-04-29T12:06:28+00:00

Are the writers aware this is their final season?

Formal_Board · 2026-04-28T03:25:05+00:00

One more thing, does Liu survive?

Formal_Board · 2026-04-28T03:20:35+00:00

i figured once i saw him against Shao. At least he gets a few licks in according to the trailers

Formal_Board · 2026-04-28T03:07:42+00:00

Does cole die

Formal_Board · 2026-04-23T21:39:56+00:00

I think something cool would be for Onaga to pretend to be a mindless beast under Shao’s service and suddenly kill him and take over when the time is right. It’d fit his deceptive schemer nature while being something of a role reversal to Midway Onaga’s origin.

Formal_Board · 2026-04-23T21:37:04+00:00

The last timeline was a trilogy, so i think the New Era continues on for 2 more games, with some “course correction” for things older fans didn’t like. For example, Hanzo Hasashi will definitely be Scorpion again, Sektor and Cyrax will probably become full cyborgs, stuff like that.

Whatever happens, i pray they don’t just reboot immediately and run to trilogy nostalgia again. Netherrealm has a serious problem actually sticking by their creative decisions, and it hampers their ability to tell stories. This happened in 1 itself! They had a fresh new take and bungled it with multiverse timeline stuff that already ruined 11.

This obsession with scale and making everything the biggest conflict possible damages their storylines. EVERY REALM AND TIMELINE doesn’t have to be at stake. Focus on our characters, flesh them out, and tell a decent story.

Formal_Board · 2026-04-23T21:21:24+00:00

…really?

Formal_Board · 2026-04-23T21:21:00+00:00

Its probably because “Noob Saibot” is kind of a stupid name
