site posted:e: okay the johnny scenes are pretty funny Nice little touch: at one point you can see Young Johnny Cage looking through his older self's IMDB page. Also, since he came up in this thread, I'd just like to note that I cosplayed as Mokap at NYCC in 2019. I am, as far as I know, the only existing Mokap cosplayer.

site posted:okay that liu kang/raiden sequence was cool as gently caress but gavok school me on which games it was cycling though I believe it goes through the entire series in that sequence. There are specific things from specific games but they're mostly linear. Like, zombie Liu Kang with the chains on was from Deception, so the one before that was Deadly Alliance, and so on. The thing with "us fighting is what always leads to this!" is a major retcon though. It was never really a thing before MK9.

I haven’t played a Mortal Kombat since I used to go over to this other kid’s house that had a Genesis and he’d get way too excited about fatalities, but I agree that trailer and the stuff in this thread is some very goofy fun entertaining bullshit.

Phylodox posted:This is some deeply unproductive stuff. If you really don't want to talk about Snyder's movies, then don't, but I don't see the point of being needlessly reductive and antagonistic like this. I mean phone posting here so I’m not going to go into a multi paragraph breakdown on why everything about those movies were horrible and painful to watch. Everything from mischaracterization to criminally poor casting choices, a sepia toned splatter of washout to build on the bleak hell that world that Snyder created. This poo poo works fine for a standalone Batman movie but it’s wholly inappropriate when more colorful characters come into play. At some point someone forgot that superheroes are supposed to be fun. Don’t get me wrong: the marvel movies are largely poorly written, but no one can call them “Not fun”. Meanwhile at the end of the first Superman movie I found myself not rooting for anything but the ending. Superman wasn’t a hero. In BvS no one was a hero. There were no heroes here. Not a good place to be if your whole thing is super heroes.

site posted:okay that liu kang/raiden sequence was cool as gently caress but gavok school me on which games it was cycling though It's mostly just them fighting through different backgrounds from previous games and claiming that they're alternate timelines. Despite that, two are actual alternate timelines. The one where the background is a bunch of rock structures breaking apart is from Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe (MK8), where the two universes merging has a side-effect of causing people to rage out. Raiden is overcome with anger and is lashing out at Liu Kang while at the same time Superman is doing the same against Batman. The one where they're on a pyramid is from Liu Kang's (non-canon) ending from Mortal Kombat: Armageddon (MK7). At the time, Liu Kang was a zombie and Raiden was in his rear end in a top hat mode.

Rhymenoserous posted:At some point someone forgot that superheroes are supposed to be fun. But seriously, Superman's death wakes Bruce from his blind hatred and pushes Diana back into actively dealing with the world's crises. Bruce has a whole Wounded King thing going throughout. Like, I think that the whole reason they fight is contrived as hell but CGI Monster aside the ending kind of hit some good points.

a good ending but also at the same time, there is so much time spent on the cage and briggs families in the first 2/3rds of the game that their complete disappearance from the climax is noticeable e: lmao at this arcade ending for sonya where she kills Cthulhu site fucked around with this message at 05:55 on Feb 23, 2021 |

There's a part in Thor: The Dark World where he awkwardly looks around for a place to put his hammer down after entering someone's apartment and then hangs it on the coat hanger.
