but come on - it's not like mortal kombat was known for it's writing
"good enough" is fine too
hexed kindle
if anything having a convoluted plot is faithful to the games
death means absolutely nothing there either
fathom juniper
to be fair - i found this plot to be refreshingly ||is that even a word?|| simple
hexed kindle
well I was pleasantly surprised the protagonists are actual characters from the game as well
like. that's a good start
unlike the previous one 
fathom juniper
bad guy wants to take over the realm
the elder gods want for it to be decided over a tournament instead of a war
bad guy cheats
best out of 5 wins
that's it
hexed kindle
it's pretty much structured like the videogames as well. which is probably why it actually feels like mortal kombat
the story feels like cutscenes in-between gameplay segments
fathom juniper
yeah
it feels like a 5 tower
though i'd like for it to be a 10 tower, but that might be a bit too much for a movie of this kind
but yeah - all in all
solid, dumb fun time
hexed kindle
and ||the final battle is against shao kahn! yay!||
also game accurate in that regard
fathom juniper
i'm not gonna tell you all to rush to cinemas this instant like i did with GLUNG
but it might be a good watch on netflix in like 3 months
fathom juniper
and ||the final battle is against shao kahn! yay!||
oh!
another thing
fatalities and brutalities
they felt like the best stuff from old games up to - and including - MKX
hexed kindle
it was one of the few actually good game to movie adaptations for sure. surprisingly enough
fathom juniper
instead of that overcomplicated wtf is even going on? mess of 11 and 1
hexed kindle
apparently two times is the charm
fathom juniper
and john wick
hexed kindle

fathom juniper
john wick!
fathom juniper
well kinda sorta
hexed kindle
depends on what one considers to be sub zero
fathom juniper
he's noob saibot now or whatever that particular color-swapped ninja was called
hexed kindle
i thought he was john kombat
fathom juniper
there's also a lot of cool little nods in this movie
like sindel doing that one scream over and over again
cause sindel mains sure love to spam that crap
hexed kindle
i was surprised she didn't use her hair
fathom juniper
oh yeah
hexed kindle
like. that's the other thing she spams
hexed kindle
there's also a lot of cool little nods in this movie
and shao kahn being impossible to defeat!
like he wasn't immortal at the arcade games but he might as well have been
fathom juniper
i liked how there was mutiple shots before fights where the camera would slowly pan out just to catch something at the top of the frame that would make it look like health bars
dumb? sure
but it was a fun little fan service
also
where's my boi Shinnok!?
fathom juniper
the plot takes from MKX
where shinnok is the main villain
the main mcguffin is his amulet
they even name-drop him a bunch of times and yet he doesn't even show up?
but quan chi made it in?
what is this?
fathom juniper
hopefully
hexed kindle
i remember she's bald
fathom juniper
oh
hexed kindle
and bald
fathom juniper
put it in the trash next to ME: Catalyst
hexed kindle
i don't like it
fathom juniper
yeah
fathom juniper
it's marginally better
fathom juniper
i don't remember
she certainly doesn't look as good as in MKX
or play as an important role
wait
is kitana even in mk1?
the roster is so anemic she might even not be there, hang on
yes she is!
and her outfit looks like... a cheap cosplay
https://www.mortalkombat.com/en-us/roster
seriously wtf is going on at netherrealms?
why do all their outfits in 11 and 1 look so bad?
hexed kindle
i don't know. i wondered why she looked better in MKX than in MK11
hexed kindle
i somewhat like the design in MK1 only because it's an improvement over MK11
but it's still not really good
why is RAIN in MK1?
fathom juniper
again - marginally better
hexed kindle
who cares about Rain
fathom juniper
or smoke
hexed kindle
at least smoke is like. he's smoke
with rain it's like. his power is to make it rain?
is that even a power. the world does that on its own
fathom juniper
bless you

like i know she was in the classic games but still. who is that

fathom juniper
like i know she was in the classic games but still. who is that
was she?
hexed kindle
it's like i don't know her anyway with how forgettable she is
fathom juniper
maybe in the ps2 days when there was like 40 characters per game
hexed kindle
yeah she was in Deception
fathom juniper
nailed it
fathom juniper
oh my god
hexed kindle
so many characters. everybody is here
fathom juniper
OH MY GOD i hate how right you are

it also had the Konquest mode

he looks so sad
hexed kindle
idk why isn't he in mk1
I remember him more than whoever ashrah is
and I mean. nitara too. she's kinda boring
hexed kindle
oh yeah I do. I remember her because people mocked her so much about her being forgettable
that she's memorable in that regard
much like stryker
fathom juniper
the design was the most mid 2000s videogame definition of sexy that just looks laughable today, BUT!
the absolutely insane combos you could pull off with her using the style switching button
oooff

Mortal Kombat 1
"We cut out all the predatory microtransactions from 11"
maybe that's why this game feels so anemic
there's f all there
hexed kindle
i am unbelievably pissed at so many DLC characters being collabs
like. I don't like this at all
at ALL
lusty pendant
is predatory transactions from old games just mean like, dumb difficulty mechanics that make you fail at the arcade
fathom juniper
i am unbelievably pissed at so many DLC characters being collabs
it was a fun one-off when MKX did it
they were kinda pushing it in 11

i don't know who is Homelander. I don't know who is Omni Man. and i sure as hell don't know who's Peacemaker

yeah that's another issue
fathom juniper
it goes MK9 - which was a reboot
MKX and XL
then 11
then 1
hexed kindle
please not
fathom juniper
just... what
hexed kindle
I think they had made another reboot before MK9 too
but I wouldn't know
even the movies got rebooted. now we're in the second timeline I think
hexed kindle
maybe six or seven
fathom juniper
double digits if you consider tower endings
echo hazel
maybe six or seven
fathom juniper
so i just made the mistake of clicking the MKX community hub on steam looking for some memes about how many times this series has been rebooted, and...
it's all mileena cosplays and...
the tf2 sniper?
what?
this cat is cool tho

fathom juniper
a great game, even
i don't like using this word, but it is - in fact - the peak of this series
hexed kindle
it has kitana so i can't complain
fathom juniper
well - most MK games have kitana
but mkx has the best version of kitana
now that i think of it
MKX has the best versions of... all characters, really
hexed kindle
i prefer this game's mileena over MK11's mileena but i found it weird that mileena has a...mouth?
she isn't supposed to
so why does she have one
she has an actual mouth. why?
fathom juniper
yeah i actually the tarkatan design in MKX
like - there's some actual design there instead of just BIG FANGS
like a shark
same with baraka

looking like an early nineties movie goomba

Sifu is pretty fun
I'm at the final boss rn, 10 hours in, most upgrades permanently unlocked
fathom juniper
impressive
dense kindle
I've done probably far too much grinding
it is surprising just how much a second or third run through a level reveals how much you've mastered
It has an addicting quality to it, trying to clear out arenas without getting hit once, parrying and dodging everything
anyways I usually only watch normie movies so Oldboy was
so weird
I recommend it only if you're prepared for some messed up violence and themes

honestly?
i think that feature is so undercooked i... don't even remember interacting with it
all i know is that killing a lot of people makes the game spawn more rats
it ain't perfect
