Sure looks like Sindel is the main villain if she's literally going Evil Mode for her X-Ray and Fatality

Mr. Neutron posted:He is also not being voiced by Richard Epcar any more which is a bummer (even though all the other character's VAs seem to be returning) and if he is supposed to be a regular dude now, sup with his godlike lightning powers? probably recasted so they could have an actual asian person playing him, the same reason steve blum isn't sub-zero anymore looking it up it's this guy

But the status quo isn't being reset. It's another completely different status quo. like if this was all about trans media synergy we wouldn't have alive scorpion who is a totally different dude, fire god liu kang, humble monk raiden, wizard rain, princess mileena, a bunch of obscure nobodies revived as major characters, etc

Wanderer posted:I'm talking about MK11 suddenly abandoning everything to do a time-travel plot, not the MK1 reboot. But MK11 still has Liu and Kitana as a couple, Past Scorpion being redeemed after present Scorpion's death, Cassie and Jacqui, Liu becoming a god, dead modern Sonya in like the first fifteen minutes. and ends with the timeline being exploded. I don't think that reads as "corporate vetoed them doing new things". Blockhouse fucked around with this message at 05:39 on Aug 31, 2023 |

If you don't like them then why did you watch the story mode Is this a "surely this time putting my finger in the socket won't shock me" thing

porfiria posted:I came up with a theory in my brain that this was originally Injustice 3, but then they got worried about the Discovery acquisition and the rights to the IP, so pivoted relatively late in development. This is why all the character designs are very basic and the DLC is all superheroes. Is there anything to this? No. Why would that have anything to do with the character designs being basic?

The basic pared-down character designs are an artistic choice, just like the much brighter color palette, the techno soundtrack that's kind of reminiscent of classic MK1-3, and making Outworld into Magical East/Southeast Asia Pastiche instead of whatever the gently caress it was before. Things you do when you're looking for a new angle on an old property.

You know it's weird that given the four foundational pillars of Mortal Kombat's inspiration are martial arts movies, 80's action, gorey horror movies, and comic books that we've never gotten any guest characters from the first one unless you want to count the Ip Man-ficiation of Kung Lao (which I don't despite it being super cool)
