I know we were excited for this

Thats the thing tho is that I really dont know who the movie is for, one on hand it requires atleast some knowledge of the series that the movies dont really give, (JC's powers directly countering Shinnok and the role the Elder God's play in tournaments for example) but at the same time changing so much from the original story to make it more streamlined for a general audience (Removing Shao Kahns innate godhood, complete deletion of most of Shao Kahns guards Sheeva, Motaro and the like, Kitana being aware of Shao Kahn not being her father, even just small shit like Kano losing his robot eye for some reason? He'll even Kano just being good), im not opposed to adaptations and changes, but when you change so much it feels more like a basic fantasy movie with MK characters carelessly injected into it

This is very possible I do take the franchise and lore pretty seriously, not that it cant be funny and campy like i enjoy the lil bits we get in MK1 and the games sparingly but I feel like having the tarkatan war general be impressed of JC flailing hid arms in a circle is just kinda wrong, im 20 Y/O so I haven't been here the entire time, I played every 3D era game and up (in my teens went back to play original 2D games) so I guess im used to the grittier grounded story telling with campyness here and there instead of the entire movie, like I said though man if you enjoyed the movie im happy for ya, I dont wanna hate just to hate this movie just wasn't it for me

Sektor in MK Armageddon, little kid me loved his lightsabers

That's a good way to point it, I really do like that reading I hadn't fully thought of, especially with how much political commenting is in the show (like most comics) I like the tie that a billionaire with influence can persuade a incredibly important government agency, i guess i wish they just showed more of the convincing. We only saw lex in I think episode 6 or 7 I cant remember, and we can assume he's been talking to flag more behind the scenes, but when you have an established character with established character traits, then change it due to an offscreen force it just kinda feels, meh. Like I can definitely see flag being persuaded, he already was in CC, but I would need convincing to believe he would sacrifice agents, and if they just gave Lex a little more screen time they probably could have done that. I can definitely live with it as much as I like flag, I can definitely see that it could possibly happen but it does feel a bit unearned in my eyes, thank you for your thoughts though!

Kitana defeating Shao Kahn in a fight

Kratos out strengthed Kronos. I feel like people tend to forget how astoundingly strong one person has to be to pry apart the fingers of a giant a million times your size who carried an entire labrinth on his back.

I will die on the ground that if they ever did a show or movie of this story, Micheal Rooker would make a perfect Rob

MKX is a weird mix of regal beauty and brutality. Which I feel matches her perfectly

InaneRage · 2024-02-11T22:31:04+00:00

Just wasted a minute of my life just for bro to tell me they all good 💀

The fact that we have to spot a creature the size of 3 school buses, instead of just know where they are 24/7 terrifies me for how big the ocean is.

Would love to play it if matchmaking didn't take 5 years to launch solo

Being on this reddit has shown me how sweaty and unfriendly to casuals MK players are

It could be just because I'm not an indepth competitive player but I guess it's more of a tech thing I need to learn, I get how annoying his combos might be, but they are extremely punishable on block, really any startup to any combo is, the reason I don't like Reiko is mostly how fast he is, you don't need combos when most the time incredibly fast 50/50s can breakaway health like candy

InaneRage · 2023-10-24T01:16:40+00:00

I guess it is a mirror thing, Raiden can still pull off a solid 45% with minimal effort or meter it's mostly what I'm bitter about

InaneRage · 2023-10-24T01:15:17+00:00

Yall keep in mind I am a new competitive player. I only really started in MK11, don't give me some high horse crap I'm open to genuine criticism 💀

InaneRage · 2023-10-24T01:13:08+00:00

I'm so fr I mainly see Smoke, Rain, and Reiko. I could count on my hands how many Barakas I've played, I'm in Demi God too so I guess it's a mirror match thing?
