Maybe they won't bring Kung Lao back.
The Tone of MKX
- Thread starter spader
- Start date
I wouldnt care if they didnt, kang an lao have become sooo boring....and the crap thing is kung load could have been made so awesome in mk9 but they made him yet again the weaker one killed off being a show off...and liu kang gets to be the boringest hero ever made again... I always saw kung loa as a much darker bad ass monk in mk2 an mkda...then of course mk9 hes a joke again...

I agree with him on this one. Bad writing and voice acting is what it is. For comparison purposes, a lot of you are saying mk is supposed to be non serious and kind of a comedy. That's fine, but that doesn't mean all comedies are good and the jokes deliver. Jack and Jill was SUPPOSED to be funny but everything from the jokes to the acting were half assed and it was awful. That's exactly how I feel the last mk game was as far as the humor goes. Had the jokes actually hit the mark, I'm sure people would have appreciated it more.
As far as story goes, I do hope this one goes the darker route because mk can really pull that off. It really comes down to the writing, dialog and voice acting though. I felt Netherrealm really stepped up their game with injustice as far as the delivery in injustice. Hopefully we see more talent like that utilized for mk. Would also LOVE for them to make its own comic. Mk is due for that.
thank you, some one gets it...finally.
"woooaahhh cool blades, you gotta meet my agent!" - cage.
That is just gay, It would have been better if cage was bewildered by the encounter and was bought down a peg, realizing the dangerous situation he was in, manning up further to prove him self..but no, he had to remain a head....Nothing about mk9 felt dangerous or deadly...it was all happy go lucky

Johnny Cage is a c0cky bastard. That's his character, you dingus. He's supposed to be ignorant and funny.
Also nothing about MK9 felt dangerous or deadly? Are you forgetting Sindel killed off almost ALL the Earthrrealm defenders? You have no clue what you're talking about, once again.

I don't think you understand Johnny Cage's character, otherwise you wouldn't be saying this.
And what about that game seemed "happy" too you?

I think that guy just likes to debate lol...it's cool though,he gives us something to talk about lol.That would have been interesting if Cage got a little more serious but I still like what they did with his character.He lightens the mood a little.

If we all agreed with everything 100% this would be a very boring place.

There's a difference between having an opinion, though, and acting as if your opinion is fact, as spader does.
Sindel kills off a majority of the people in that cathedral, Liu Kang gets killed, Kung Lao gets killed and yet everything is happy go lucky?
Killing off 60% of the roster in MK9 =/= happy go lucky.

Much more "people" get killed in Happy Tree Friends and yet I don't see it having any seriousness to it.
In fact HTF is what I think MK is becoming.
I'd even say the dismemberments and mutilation in HTF are much more believable than the ones in MK.
In HTF you don't see stuff like Sonya's fatality where she holds the enemy between her legs and when she spreads them, the guy is ripped in half, based on god knows what law of physics. Same thing for many other ones.
HTF at least has proper causation for most of the the carnage.
I'd say MK could learn a thing or two from it.

What spader is doing is acting like a complete asshole about people's opinions. And until his attitude cleans up, that opinion I have of him is going to stand.

Even though no one likes Mortal Kombat Armageddon, if I recall, Johnny Cage became serious when he realized how screwed everything was on Earthrealm. If I'm not mistaken, he gather the forces of light to go against Shinnok's forces after having visions of Shinnok and others. So I have to agree with someone changing over time. Johnny cage wasn't the same person since Mortal Kombat 1. Johnny Cage can be serious! He was serious before at some point.
BUt I think around the MK4 times, he was still egotistic. But he might of changed considering his lost was almost taken and he's one of the two survivors of Shao Kahn's invasion.
As for the Tone of MKX, I hope it's a dark feel! Not a horror, but a dark!

Becoming?
MK has NEVER been about 100% realism, though.
If you're going with that mentality then MK has NEVER truly had ANY realistic fatalities, EVER.
Do you know how hard it is to rip someone's head off with your bare hands (Sub-Zero, MK1), much less take someone's heart out with your bare hands (Kano, MK1)?
MK has always asked people to suspend some belief when it comes to the nature of the unreal fatalities.

THIS!!!
It doesn't need to be explained.
Mortal Kombat has always been deeply rooted in magic / the surreal.
Just the same way that I can suspend belief for Scorpion's Toasty or Sub-Zero's Spine Rip, I can also suspend belief for Sony's terrible fatality.
MK was never rooted in realism, ever since day 1.
When was the last time you saw a four armed being walking around, uKER?

Point taken.
I also believe Cage was killed during the events of MKII. And at some point of MK3 Raiden managed to save his soul which explains his appearance in MKT. In each installment up Deadly Alliance he seemed far more serious (despite his MK4 ending if that counts or not) than he did in MK9..
But then again we never got to see him really talk and interact with characters in such a way until MK9's story mode so whose to say that's not how he was intended to be portrayed?

Suspension of disbelief doesn't equate to a full license to be downright stupid.
I can go with the existence of Superman.
The premise is that he has superhuman strength.
But if MKvsDC had a finisher where Superman punched someone in the head and that made their legs explode, I would still have thought it was ridiculous and stupid, no matter how willing I am to suspend disbelief.
In Sonya's fatality there isn't remotely any physical force applied to the victim from Sonya's legs that could lead to their body splitting like that.
