SPOILER ALERT:Mortal Kombat X DIGITAL COMIC DISCUSSION

Really not looking forward to seeing Scorpion's origins. We already got a glimpse of it during his hallucinations, now we get to see that scene extended and drawn with crayola crayon by the new shit head artist.

Unless they're going pre death Scorpion. Where he see when Hanzo is coming up the ranks of his clan. But even then I'm not interested. I like Scopion and love that they're putting a larger emphasis on his human side in the comic, but there are SOOOOO many other characters that I want to see before him.
 
I'm excited about this Scorpion origins thing actually.

I love Scorpion and I haven't jumped into the Scorpion hate bandwagon so I want to know more about him, and I might add that Cassie and Sonya's chapters were not that interesting for me.

However, I want to know more about Sub-Zero! What happened to him when Kano scarred him? What's the kamidogu curse going to do to him? And are we going to know something about how did he return from death or who was he working with? Did his bestie Smoke return along with him?

That's what I want to know.
 
A friendly reminder to those complaining about Scorpion being "shoved down our throats."

You paid for the act of "shoving Scorpion down our throats" with your own hard-earned money. You hqve nobody to blame but yourselves.

That's just like saying "You paid for Mileena to be a slut!"... No, it isn't our decision as consumers that NRS decided to put Scorpion on everything MK related. Even without our money, NRS would still do that.

Totally agreed.

And about the "Scorpion hate bandwagon"...I do think this is happening and it's probably the best term for some occasions.

Ok, NRS could have chosen to give privilege to more diversity. We all agree on that. I think this ONLY Scorpion can really make people tired.

But now hating Scorpion, as [MENTION=17910]rami[/MENTION] said, seems to become something that it's "cool".

Fortunately, we still see people who consider the character, but are tired of not seeing more faces. But there are people, (and it's not those who hate the character in whatever apparition) as I always repeat (because I read this on this very Forum) that really believe that we are under Scorpion 20 years dictatorship and MK is a brand that Boon (exclusively him) is shoving Scorpion up our 455.

I think this is "a little" bit far from reality.

I'm very excited to see what happened to Sub-Zero. Good that I'm enjoying Kotal Kahn's story, so the wait is eased.

With your ridiculously stupid logic, you can't complain about ANYTHING regarding MK. Zip. Nada. Because you voted for it, as it were. Oh please.

Actually, the old artist is coming back for chapters 10-12.

I understand using Scorpion to market the game. I have no beef with Scorpion on the box art or as the collector's figurine, but giving him a larger presence in the comic than he's owed is annoying considering I'd rather learn more about just about any other character.
 
Especially considering we know the origins of every character but Ferra & Torr.

Kotal is from Osh Tekk
D'Vorah is of a reclusive race of bug freaks from a realm that got merged with Outworld.
Cassie comes from Johnny's dick


And we can't even get a brief bio of these two.
 
Damn Tarkatan, when was the last time you made a non-obnoxious post? I bet Onaga was still ruling Outworld. Wouldn't it be nice to do some mix-ups and be less sanctimonious every now and then.
 
Wow... more Scorpion. Just "great"... as much as I like Scorpion (now 3rd favorite of MK characters), this is starting to get tiresome. I didn't even play the game yet and I am already getting tired of Scorpion.

No Scorpion is not Mortal Kombat. Scorpion wasn't even the most popular character in MK9 (That is when Scorpion "shoving" started). The only and THE ONLY REASON why he is put on top of f%^king everything right now is because he is a favorite of Boon. Just like Kenshi. It wasn't coincidence that Kenshi and Scorpion appeared as first main characters in comics. Who gets the first Kill? Scorpion. Also kills Hsu Hao, who is HEAVILY disliked by MK community in Fatality fashion. Yeah, just no. MKX marketing right now is SCORPION, SCORPION, SCORPION, here is SCORPION STATUE, HERE IS SCORPION ANOTHER SPECIAL EDITION KICK ASS STATUE, HERE IS UNIQUE SCORPION SKIN FOR THE GAME (I guarantee that extra skin will be only for Scorpion), HERE NOW WE HAVE SCORPION ACTION FIGURE. Oh and here some other character figures, but... SCORPION.

I like cryomancers the most in MK universe. Sub Zero and Frost. Other people like them and then others like other characters. There are shit ton of people who prefer other characters over Scorpion any day. But we are talking about studio which doesn't even listen to its fanbase.
These are the guys who took freaking forever with MK9, dropped broken MK9 port in pc, didn't patch anything until after MKX announcement. Exactly one month after MKX announcement we receive surprise MK9 patch... wow. Is that a coincidence? No. Just some cheap a$$ marketing. And now you're telling that we payed for this forceful Scorpion marketing???? Are you s%^&* or something?
They show Scorpion, cause they want. They shove it, cause they want. No one here is asking nor asked for that. Except die hard Scorpion fans. Well hoorah for them. Even so I am not buying MKX for Scorpion. Hell I ordered Frost's custom statue in MKX theme for myself, just because of how little we get to choose from kollectibles.

And ffs... could someone tell me what we DON'T know about Scorpion's past? Because if we were to put all info about Scorpion we have right now... the biggest mystery is what kind of cookies did he eat with milk before going to sleep? With chocolate or raisins?

I can't disagree more with this. They listened Rain fans demand, and I, as a Rain fan, am glad they did.

They listened to the fanbase that time, and many other times.

Ok I was a bit harsh. I should rephrase myself. Studio which listens to its fanbase, when it is profitable.
 
Fellas... fellas... fellas. Let's keep things in perspective. There really hasn't been that much Scorpion. Cinematic trailer? That's always going to be Scorp and Subz, there's not even a point to arguing about it. They are Mortal Kombat. Scorpion winning just means Sub-Zero got the cooler moves in during the fight. If Sub-Zero won, Scorpion would have gotten the better moves. No point complaining there either.

As far as the game goes, Scorpion was one of the least important characters in MK9 and had almost zero screentime outside of his chapter.

As far as the comic goes, Scorpion has had less screentime than Kotal and Cassie, and comparable to Goro. He wasn't even the protagonist of the two chapters he was in, he was a supporting character to Kenshi and then to Takeda. And now he's going to have a chapter that'll give us more of Raiden and more of Takeda in the process. For all we know, the flashback is two pages long. Is that really worth throwing a fit around? He's one of the main characters, MK9 was bad to him, let him have a few pages in the comic.

The only thing that could be taken as a bit of overboard favoritism is the collector's statue/Scorpion's costume, but I don't even know if that was NRS's decision to make. The statue makers might have come in saying "this is the character we're super passionate about doing a statue for that we've been fans of since we were kids," and if I'm NRS I don't know if I turn them away and say "Well no you've gotta do Kotal Kahn who you've never seen before, instead."

For context, I dig Scorpion but I'm no fanboy, I'm way more curious about Sub-Zero right now. This just isn't that big a deal.

Remember those stripper-type costumes the women had in MK9? We wanted them gone, NRS listened...so far anyway.

I just said what is on my mind. As I said before (long time ago). They can push Scorpion as much as they want, but I do not agree with statement "we paid for Scorpion's shoving"

You bought the games, they pushed Scorpion as usual. That's why I say "you paid for it".
