Doesn’t matter ngl i only romance Garrus
Probably for the best.
@@CynicalWarlock but i get the video theres no other Good romances hopefully me4 will fix that
@@DavidsSanity You are a very hopeful person.
Ultimately pleasurable if very disposable, Homecoming offers strong teen dynamics and for once, serves up high school-sized stakes instead of placing the planet in peril.
Pleasure and dispose, or vice versa.
Kitana. Next question.
No.
@@CynicalWarlock Is there any reasoning for that beyond sexism or...
@@HEARTLESSKAMUI Other than her ruling for 2 seconds, compared to the others, and her only accomplishment being a failed attack against a recovering Shao Kahn's forces, no, totally no other reasoning.
Drahmin is definitely the most underrated MK character of all time he is such an intriguing character there is so much potential in him he would also look so awesome in todays games with the graphics and fighting game engine I hope NRS makes him a Kameo Fighter in MK 1 for Kombat Pack 2 or 3 then they can bring Drahmin back in MK 2 down the road as an actual playable character he deserves to come back in this New Era
He would actually fit in really well, as a Kameo, true. And you can rewrite him in a hundred different ways, to include him in Liu Kang's era.
So Shaolin Monk's/ Open World/Elden Ring Kinda Deal.. I Wanna Play That.
You and me both.

Ah, my most random video..
Had to rewatch the movie before watching this review. Imagine that when he woke up after been hospitalized in the lemur kids home, instead of just striking the wall with a weak lighting charge he explodes and destroys the whole building with the kid. And it's stupid that the kid taught they had mirrors 5000 yrs ago in khandick. For no reason, I just don't like the kid. There are so many instances where he could have died a gruesome beautiful death. When the mother was telling the justice society how "bad"her life as been it didn't seem like she was saying something that hurt her it was like she was giving a class speech. The first time around I had no problem with her acting but now, it is just all over the place. I just wish homelander was somehow in the movie to blow her brains out or at least blank Adam could do it. I mean what if the first person he electrocuted to ashes in the tomb was her. And also, when sabbac(stupid name) raised "the legion of death" and the fat brother saved them, weren't they suppose to drive away in the car rather than fight them, what if the skeletons were stronger than they were or were just the first wave. And the kid giving a motivational speech to a bunch of grownups was stupid, and them listening was even more stupid. I wish I was there to stone him. It didn't even seem like they needed a hero, didn't seem like they were oppressed. I did like the movie I won't lie, it was good. I thought I was the only one that noticed the romance not romance between big boy and cyclone. Also , for as much as I like the theme song( music, the trailer music) it was used every 15 mins and got overused. He should have spent sometime silent, learning English. Even I didn't notice what they could do with eternium till I watched this. I mean the villain could he a black Adam version of lex Luther who uses tech and eternium(kryptonite) but I'm not sure he would be strong enough for the Just us society. But then there is the issue of copying superman but isn't that the point. You title is 'the one thing that ruined black Adam' but said a thousand things in the video. Imagine if noir Adam never came back for the final battle. It was stupedic, still like it though. Dwayne made sure Henry showed but just ended up giving ppl false hope(for those that cared). Still like it though, it was dumb fun.
Yeah well, I wanted to overdeliver, instead of sticking to the one thing. :D Long story short, they missed a lotta opportunities for a lotta beautiful annoying sidekick deaths.
So well said I’m on the same page in every video but especially this one. I really miss the old scorpion his character arc up until mk11 was outstanding
Hell yeah, a big part of what made Scorps interesting was that he wasn't a static character; he evolved. Whereas many of the others either stayed the same, or took one step forward, one step back. Appreciate the comment.
He did a good job. I compare him and val kilmer to adam west. They were hired to be more light hearted versions of batman.
True, the studio wanted this tone. I actually think Clooney should have another shot at the character.
3:31 I believe you are talking about "burst mechanics" in anime fighters, I also believe they are the best thing to ever occur In a fighting game...
Yeah Bursts and Breakers in Mortal Kombat are functionally similar, from what I understand, except there are multiple types of Bursts for multiple instances, which also something I'd port over to MK.
If you didnt know they use almost the same animations to save money
Duh.
It's a shame that we don't explore other realms and other beings
Yep, it's pretty much the Earthrealm & Outworld show.
I'm still upset that the original claymation Goro looked better
Ouch. :D
I always assumed that the chaosrelam was just a slang term or something and that there was another better official name
Nope.
There are so many other sub bosses and sub sub bosses they could have used and saved Goro for later. Also and I really need someone to explain this to me rationally “Why is Cole the main character?” Like you mentioned in the video multiple times MK has a huge roster of characters they didn't need to create a totally new one and they especially didn't need to make him the star. They didn't even try to make it seem like Cole belonged in the MK universe a universe full of magic users, monsters, otherworldly beings, undead ninja masters who returned to life because their rage and anger was too great from to stay dead and then there's Cole Young a semi-pro MMA fighter trying to do what's best for his wife and daughter who he loves more than anything 😒
This aptly highlights their inconsistent logic: they used Goro cause he's a recognizable character and they expected that seeing him in the trailer would put asses in seats, but then they didn't apply that same logic with the fucking protagonist - instead of picking a household name, that would actually interest people and hold the movie, they created a paper-thin character whom no one knows or gives a shit about.
@@CynicalWarlock exactly why not make Johnny Cage or Sonya or hell Kung Lao make it seem like Liu Kang will be the protagonist like usual but 15 mins Liu gets captured and so Kung Lao has to save him but of course, he's constantly second-guessing himself due to him having always felt inadequate trying to live up to the legacy of his ancestor and then living in the shadow of liu and so he has to overcome those feels a long with other fighters to be victories. Also if they didn't want to do a full on MK movie they could have focused on a smaller story that worked better at leading into the next movie like idk maybe a movie adaptation slightly inspired by Shaolin monks perhaps? I'd I'm just spitballing what do i know I'm just sonecasshole on youtube whose been playing mortal kombat since i was eight
@@MrQdiddy85 You and me both. And yeah, that's exactly my point, and why I made a full fuckin Kung Lao rewrite. Out of frustration.
I'd love for them to re-do ken errrr….i mean Kobra and like actually try this time and same goes for Kai
There's a Kobra Kai joke in there somewhere.
Kotal isn't like Obama, at least he didn't develop a lethal virus working with our enemies and thus causing a pandemic with no remorse! Anyway, nice video, but you forgot Kitana Kahn. And pleasing everyone can please no one but themselves and be a subscriber's tool. I already know a few well known TH-camrs in this regard! GrEeNsCoRpIoN!
I didn't include Kitana or Mileena, because their rule was either brief or it happened offscreen. Wanted to focus on those who governed for a reasonable chunk of time and affected significant change. Not familiar with Green Scorpion.
I have never thought to put psychology or any type of structured thought into Mortal Kombat till watching your videos because Mortal Kombat has always been an unstructured chaotic mess. But you’ve Hotaru’ed this shit to no end. There really is some structure and enough messy source material to actually make MK viable for really good story telling and gameplay dynamics. NRS should hire you as some type of director.
'Lord of the universe' director, preferably. And thanks, appreciate it, especially the Hotaru pun.
Glad to see that Mileena is in charge of outworld again. In the mk9 timeline she gets shit on but she wasn’t any worse than her father
Yeah, it'd be interesting to explore what the female rulers can do, instead of endlessly deposing them.
The new version of Li Mei reminds me of Lin from Jade Empire from her archetype down to her fighting style and I’m willing to bet that NRS pulled from the same archetypal context as BioWare did and it might lend an answer for Li Mei’s power set. Li Mei also reminds me Lu Shu Lien from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, again same archetypal character but more so because the tragic hero willing to sacrifice herself for honor.
You've.. played Jade Empire? Hell yeah! 🤜🤛 Nothing more gratifying than posting a Mortal Kombat video and coming across a fellow Jade Empire fan, as a bonus. And I agree - even visually, the new Li Mei resembles Lin and Lu Shu Lien quite a bit.
