SPOILER ALERT:Mortal Kombat X DIGITAL COMIC DISCUSSION

Why the hell does Havik have pupils now? Why is Kanos complete right side of his head cyberized and not just his eye?

I didn't like it. Mostly because Kittelsen has lost his magic. The issue where Kotal Kahn invoked the Gods before Gods and we had our eyes popping out when we though t Rain and Goro had bitten the dust was the highlight of these comics! That was magical, probably one of the best moments in MK history. No one was safe!

But now, Kittelsen just uses silly dialogue and actions. I like the writer, but I'm not going to rate him as high as others until the work is completed. Kano using an atomic hand weapon is just lame. If he had killed a few dozen warriors, then ok, but half of the shokan army?? With that hand thing?? So, the entire Outworld realm is a thousand years behind Earthrealm in war power? I always had the impression that bullets can't realm harm these guys and weapons of mass destruction can somehow be stopped by them, either through magic or through other means. I mean, you never see Sonya requesting help from the Special Forces to send 20 battle helicopters through the portal and destroy the shokan forces outside Z'unkharah. Imagine what the well prepared American or Russian armies could do to the armies of Outworld. I'm sure that some grateful President would be happy to allow such a military operation to save the daughter of Johnny Cage, the human savior (we even have a Secretary Blake in the game who sucks up to Cage). If not for Cage, then at least for the resources of Outworld, some greedy President commanding an Earthrealm army would have wiped out Outworld's defenses by now. I can even see Daegon and the Lin Kuei Grandmaster whispering in the ear of the Presidents to attack Outworld.


All in all, an attack using Earthly technology contradicts the very existence of an Outworld organized military. Helicopters and atomic devices should practically be disabled on the spot by shadow priests and magical advisers to the armies. If neither the shokans, nor Kotal, command the Shadow Priests anymore, where have they gone and how does Kotal keep away Earthrealm forces from doing to him what they've done to Saddam or Gaddafi?

Shadow Priests can disable helicopters and atomic devices on the spot, but get beat up by Jacqui Briggs and Erron Black? I don't see how that's supposed to work... at all.

In fact, I see nothing wrong with Earthrealm having a much stronger army than Outworld. If I died without ever again seeing Outworld attempt to invade Earthrealm, I would die a happy man.

Having said that, I didn't enjoy the Kano scene because the weapon is too sci-fi for my tastes. I prefer my MK leaning more to fantasy than sci-fi.

Because artists can interpret characters differently.

And that's enough to make non canon abominations (and somtimes canon).

Is it to hard to stick to the ****** original idea of the character?

By the way, :laugh:, I'm mentioning all those different interpretations of many things, not Havik, since:

It can be, because unlike you and I, most of these artists probably didn't grow up loving Mortal Kombat. To them this isn't a labor of love, it's just a labor that they have to fit in their extremely busy schedule between issues of Superman and Batman that they're also working on, that are probably much more important to DC (and the artists' careers). Comic artists are very busy people, and they only have so much time to make sure that every single detail about a character's appearance is correct before moving on to the next page of the comic which introduces 5 completely new characters they've never seen before in their lives that they now have to draw.

It is what it is, unfortunately.
