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.

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.

It's not about previous games. It's about other timelines/realities that always bring them to the same point by Kronika's design.

Going back a few pages for this one...

While the finished movie doesn't give the idea that the butler was a figment of Harry's imagination, it was definitely implied in the novelization. The novelization of Spider-Man 3 was a good deal longer, but also a more coherent story. It looks to be based on the full version of the script before a bunch of scenes (which were mostly filmed) got cut.

An early scene has Harry at home in his kitchen with the butler trying to console him. Harry doesn't want his help. The butler offers him some milk and Harry slaps the glass out of his hand, causing it to spill all over the table. He puts his head down for a second and when he looks up to apologize, there's no sign of the glass, milk or butler. So either that guy cleaned it up and cheesed it in record time, or Harry was just hallucinating. And if he was imagining him there, then any other scene with the butler is suspect.

So either the butler did tell him this news about his father at the eleventh hour or it was Harry coming to terms with what kind of person Peter is, especially compared to his psycho father.

I literally make income off that poo poo.

Mortal Kombat's story summed up:

MK1: People from Earth need to win a martial arts tournament or they will be invaded by Barbarian World. Chosen One Bruce Lee saves the day.

MK2: Barbarian World's king Heavy Metal Skeletor goes "Double or nothing on my turf?" Chosen One Bruce Lee saves the day.

MK3: Barbarian World decides to just invade Earth anyway. Chosen One Bruce Lee saves the day.

MK4: Satan invades Earth. Chosen One Bruce Lee saves the day.

MK5: Two sorcerer villains decide to just team up and kill Chosen One Bruce Lee. Afterwards, they come up with a plan to take everything over with a zombie army. They actually beat the rest of the good guys!

MK6: Some elderly idiot spent his entire life thinking he was taking part in some holy mission from the gods, only to be a pawn in resurrecting Dragon Thanos. Dragon Thanos takes over the sorcerer guys' operation. Old Man Idiot saves the day.

MK7: Every MK character has a Royal Rumble match at a magic pyramid where the winner will get ULTIMATE POWER. There's a new main hero, but that doesn't matter. Heavy Metal Skeletor wins and is going to WrestleMania!

MK8: Non-canon crossover with the DC Universe. Fun fact: Sub-Zero is the only MK guy allowed to cleanly defeat Batman.

MK9: Seconds before dying, Dumbass Thunder God sends a message and visions back in time to his MK1 self. We go through the first three games with Dumbass Thunder God not having any idea what he's doing, but seemingly making things worse with each decision. Heavy Metal Skeletor dies, but there are barely any heroes left alive and we know Satan's on his way.

MKX: Turns out they didn't need Chosen One Bruce Lee to stop Satan after all! Jump forward a couple of decades and we have a new generation of good guys (led by Snarky Soldier Girl) and the new guy running Barbarian World isn't so terrible. Satan shows up again with a cool final form. Snarky Soldier Girl saves the day.

MK11: Satan's Mom is pissed and wants to reboot the timeline without Dumbass Thunder God there to annoy her. She causes some time rifts and everyone gets to meet their MK2 selves. Everyone hates their counterparts except for Scummy Cyborg Crime Boss, who totally wants to bang himself. Chosen One Bruce Lee, the other Chosen One Bruce Lee and Dumbass Thunder God do a Fusion and save the day.

Then, via DLC, one of the evil sorcerer guys shows up and goes, "GREAT SCOTT, MARTY! We have to go back to the future! But you have to give me the car keys and not question a single thing I say despite the fact that I'm the least trustworthy character in this series!"

But where does Special Forces fit in?

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.

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.

Hi BSS, I only lurk here but saw this post and its insane to me to see this because I knew jefferoo for years IRL, knew he was a goon but had no ides he was this infamous. He was closely involved in my college circle for a few years and boy do I have stories!

Anyways, Zack Snyder rules, sorry fans are jerks sometimes.

I love his DC movies and they speak to me personally. I get why people are put off by his take on DC, but I deeply love it.

Not all his fans are insane, I just want to live and work in a Hollywood where theres room for visions like Snyders and I support him hard because someday Id love to make a movie like Man of Steel or BvS. Thats it.

hey now
