The Batman vs. Damian thing in the introduction is SO easy to fix. Just have Batman say something like "if it was Gotham, I'd react the same. I'd expect any of us to. But that's why we formed the Justice League. So our friends can pull us back into the light in our darkest moments. I know Clark would do the same for me."
Wasted Potential always leaves me baffled how really small changes can elevate stories and characters from mediocre/bad to great. Can't wait for the next one I hope it's about MK 11 Sindel and your thoughts about her.
Nikolas Faraday Well here’s some Good news and Bad news. The good news is that sindel is gonna become a playable character soon. The bad news is that due to the new origin story giving to sindel, Sindel is now considered as an evil gold digging mommy. What kind of bullshit is this!!!???
The thing is that NRS is so incompetent that the day they do a completely solid and engaging story is the day Batman and Superman get pushed out of the spotlight.
I only disagree about Scarecrow transformation. I actually like the concept of Crane been just a guy in the mask and is the fear gas who makes him look like monster for the others (which match with his motivation of wanting to be a scarry boogie man, that people are afraid). In the story of game this could work better if, when he use the fear toxin, he becomes the character his oponnent are afraid like, in the case of Harley, the Joker, and he becomes the monster scarecrow as his oponnent starts to overcome his ilusion, starting to see no more his/her fear but the true monster behind it. I also disagree about bring Joker back. After the Arkham Games had overused him as the villain (with Arkham Origins been the biggest exemple of all with the "Black Mask twist"), he is better of dead than having a main role in the game, stealing the focus that could be dedicate for other characters.
Alexandre Frauches yea in the comics scarecrow does have a monster form know as the scarebeast so that’s why he looks like that but he doesn’t use it often
I would have included a scene where Deadshot is fighting for the villains but switches when he learns Brainiac will blow up Earth (and his kid) regardless of his head-bomb. It's weird that Deadshot brings this up to Flash but it's not even addressed even when Cyborg is free who probably could remotely block any signals to detonate it. At least Deadshot's arcade ending gives him resolution with this.
Wonder Woman redpemptio....ah fuck that, Superman first has to smack her around enough to put her back in line. Really, how do you write her out of that hole other then to reveal like at the end of Amazons Attack that, SURPRISE, Diana was Granny Goodness the whole time! LOL
@@theblocksays Well you could actually do something interesting with that, it could be revealed that Darkseid has been using Granny disgused as Diana to fuel Superman's authoritarianism, kicking off the civil war and making sure Earth is weak and heroes have been killed off for Darkseid to invade. You know, making the pre-order character actually have some reason to be there in the story. Sure Braniac wouldn't be the big villain, but that's fine, use him in the next game if you really want.
love your version, as always. Once again, I just freakin' can't with Netherrealm's inconsistency. They make MKX, where the young generation is the main focus, where Cassie defeats a damn Elder God because "love and magic", and that game has Scorpion on the cover. You know, the character who is a joke in that game's story mode. Then the same company releases Injustice2, where they have Supergirl, who is well established in the comics, makes sense as a "next generation hero" and a face on the cover, who actually can take on Braniac... and she's of no consequence to the story, pretty much. Again, especially with MK11 after this, I must say, one's gotta *try* to be this freaking incompetent.
This is why I think Blazblue's story structure is very underrated. You get to see each character go through their own journey be it related or unrelated to main plot. Then you have a "true" ending where you playthrough the main plot minus filler fights. This give it the ability to have a consistent story while Simultaneously not having to shore horn in every character into the main plot just so they can justify their place on the roster
Supergirl and Damian Wayne are done much more justice here than in the actual game. I never liked how they made Supergirl not so useful, and Damian more evil and a jerk
Netherrealm fumbled the story on this. In the comics superman freed Zasz and sent him after Alfred as revenge for Alfred stomping him out and saving Bruce, yet they ignore this and any other good story point from the comics that coincided with the first game purposely. Netherrealm doesnt give a damn about creating a satisfying narrative.
Fantastic video! I though the same thing about the ending having Kara being the one who has to choose she's gonna be, which would highlight her previous scene with Clark, in which he said she would have to pick a side, either be with him or against him. Another ideia for Injustice 2, and that would be a great way for set up a third game as well, was to have Brainiac as the final boss, and, as you said, the player could choose between Kara and Superman to fight against him. In the end of the battle the choosen hero would sacrifice himself to save the world, leading up to two endings: Ending 1 : If the player choose Superman, he would die in the end, sacrificing himself to defeat Brainiac, but not before apologize for Bruce for what he did and say his final farewell to Kara, telling her to take care of the world and his friends. With Superman dead, this would be explore in the third game, showcasing a world without Superman, and Kara assuming the role of her cousin as the new protector of the planet, maybe even inspiring new heroes like Blue Bettle, Firestorm to join her in a new Justice League, dedicate to continuing the misson of their predecessor, without making the same mistakes they did. Ending 2 : If the player choose Kara, her sacrifice would inspire Superman to finally realize his mistake and the third game would showcase Superman trying to redeem himself. That way, the whole Injustice storyline would be completed, showcasing Superman's fallen from grace in the first game, his realization of his mistakes in the second game, and finally his return to his former self in the third one.
I feel that I need to address the whole "If it happen to Batman" plot line. In the Injustice comics that are suppose to lead up to the games, the history of Jason Todd is brought up to Bruce via Diana I think (could be a different member of the league). This does prompt Bruce to pause and think about the roles but he retorts that he had the league to help him. Clark is specifically singled out with having prevented Batman from killing the Joker. It doesn't help Diana's character in the story though as she is the one that pushes Clark to not only killing Joker but also the Regime idea in the first place.
I love these changes to the story (not because I like Supergirl) but all these make so much sense including Damien, Scarecrow, the Lanterns, Joker etc.
I like how the comic did it it establishes that Bruce pretty much just abandoned damian making clark mentor as such and later dick as the new deadman tells Bruce not to abandon him and to try and bring him back
I don’t buy for a second Bruce beating Diana in a straight up fight in the opening. She’s been called, by Bruce himself, the greatest melee fighter on the planet. She is his superior, and would have his number in a spontaneous matchup.
I really think that all storylines in future games should have two modes; Character chapters and Timeline. In character chapters, you play basically a mini arcade mode as that one character during events that they are important to. This gives the whole concept of playing as each character in multiple fights in a row some footing, though the story may be confusing. That's because the meat of the game is in Timeline Mode. Timeline mode is the true story mode that lays all events out as they happen. This results in the player playing as who happens to win any set fight and provides context to those character chapters, though said character chapters aren't required to understand the timeline. This two pronged setup allows the player to both play as hero, neutral, and villain and see where each character was winning and when their actions impacted the story in their favor. Look, anyone playing these games shouldn't have a hard time playing as superman then flipping over to scarecrow for one fight before flipping to Aquaman in the next moment, especially with the highly detailed move lists in the pause screen and toggleable difficulty.
6:24 I know it doesn’t work with the premier skins wouldn’t Guy Gardener make more sense as a scarecrow fight considering Hal killed him personally and even has guilt ridden hallucinations during his imprisonment
As an answer to Batman's brutal antics of crippling enemies he could've said "Everyone deserves a chance for redemption, i know it's not the best solution to crime injuring criminals and maiming them, but at least they still have their lives. You of all people should know how much a person can change if given a the time and chance for change" Referencing Damien's Journey and Bruce's from the League of Assassins into Heroes. This is not the best answer, but at least is something to explain why Batman does this, and also could be used to create a conflict in Damien as he received another chance and redeemed himself. Yet is not willingly to give the same chance for other people.
With Scarecrow, what they needed to do was have Harley’s vision happen around the same time as Diana’s. It was presented too early in the story, thus Harley’s arc was finished in the first act. Moving it creates a parallel with Diana in how they both handle their fears, one through courage and one through violence.
@@rslrandy i can agree with that because while that he-man vs injustice comic does follow the superman ending i gotta admit that series was awesome and tons of fun.
Here's another idea for Joker in Injustice 2. Make this Joker one of the old Joker's former disciples. It would explain the different appearance. It would also be an interesting way to explain why Injustice 2 Joker is just different in general from Injustice 1 Joker. I1 Joker acts like the classic Joker from the Golden Age, a manipulative master of puppets and twisted comedian. I2 Joker is much more like Heath Ledger's Joker, a sadistic anarchist. The difference between the two is clear in their intros and arcade endings. I1 Joker puppeteers a corpse and leads a new Joker Clan. I2 Joker just laughs maniacally and watches worlds burn.
For the scarecrow point, one thing I'd personally do is have it be something that the hero team did in an attempt to save Crane's life for information, and because of his uses as a psychologist. Even though he specialises in fear, a lot of the opponents you fight have very human weaknesses and flaws, which Crane could exploit. Hell, if need be maybe have him work with the heroes, and give a throwaway line of saying that he's simply doing it because he "owes the bat"
I would have loved if Scarecrow adapted depending on who he's fighting. When he fights Harley, he could be a jokerised version of the monster he appears as. Against Robin, the monster could look similar to Nightwing, with electric eyes and mouth. This would also allow for a Doomsday design when he fights Superman. Etc, it doesn't make sense that Superman is afraid of a generic monster when this guy takes on Darkseid.
This probably one of the good stories NRS has written. Sadly, it saddens me to see how they are gonna Reboot the Mk story once again. Just a cheap excuse to end it off.
Mr Thanos “Oh how the mighty have fallen” But In all seriousness, NRS Need better writers and understand the characters and their purpose to appease the plot instead of making them into mindless minions that is powerful yet can be beaten by pretty much anyone with no power cap consistency. 4thsnake makes his criticisms really interesting regardless of anyone agrees with his opinions. I miss midway...
One problem with your Atrocitus solution: Hal would have died if he took off the red lantern ring if Atrocitus got it on him, the red lantern ring replaces your heart...
I would’ve liked it if more characters had gone under brainiacs control having members question who’s friend or foe and once they’re found out we see how far they’re truly gone or are corrupted like when Brainiac and Lex Luthor fused together in the animated series
There was a scene in the Injustice comic where Batman admitted he should have killed Joker at the moment he realized what was happening to Clark. He acknowledged he had been in a no win situation, and a fallen Batman was less dangerous to the world than a fallen Superman. The first Injustice comics had much better writing than the game, and it's frustrating that it had to retcon a lot of shit just to fit with the inferior writing in the sequel game.
Also is no one going to talk about the fact that Damian in the first game had long hair but in injustice 2 has short hair even though he'd have no way to cut it
It would have been really interesting for both Damian and Bruce to show regret maybe with Bruce continuously trying to talk to damian through the story and damian just wondering if Bruce is right and clark is in the wrong
@@kingki1919 actually batman is a very overused character and if don't believe me tell in this decade when there hasn't been something batman related coming out
Comedy King, mr B is right because there haven’t even been animated movies with Power Girl or Helena Wayne in them, but there have been multiple shows/movies with Batwoman, Batgirl, and Batman in them, and at this point in time Batman is becoming overrated as a character.
@Comedy King still doesn't outweigh the amount of Batman related content and reference in media also some not all have some bat reference anyways so yeah he is still overused
You know your story system is bad when Super Smash Bros Brawl of all games handled it's single player plot better. Y'know, the crossover from 2008 that refuses to use locations from the series it crosses over outside of a pitiful handful of exceptions and refuses to let it's characters talk? Yeah, that game did cinematic stories better then any NetherRealm game period with one simple tweak: after a cutscene you get to pick more or less every character from that cutscene to use in the upcoming fight. This not only completely shits on the character focused chapter system as it allows characters to keep winning battles long after they were initially introduced since theoretically they can win any and every fight they're present for, but it also opens up intresting branches in the story when a cutscene ends with two seprate sides clashing and the player gets to choose which side wins (I think the only big instance of this is Mario and Pit versus Link and Yoshi, and ultimately the player's choice doesn't matter, but I'd still take that over all three Nether Realm era MK games put together). On top of that it kind of helps solve the potential issue with casuals or newcomers not understanding how to play certain characters as in brawl most characters are always joined by atleast one other atleast two or three stages after their introduction, giving the player atleast some amount of choice in who they play as. Finally it solves the issue this game has with players choosing a character and the other running off to fuck around as in Brawl when they player has the ability to choose more then one character they select them in order of who they want to play as to determine their stocks, kind of like how characters are chosen in KoF. This way if, say the player needs to fight Wonder Woman as Batman and Supergirl and wants to try out Supergirl they aren't forced to learn they hate playing her, lose and then restart as after they potentially lose as Supergirl, Batman would just tag in where she left off.
Injustice 2 could really add more characters for black Adam I wish there was a Shazam skin and hawkgirl if she didn’t die in the first one to be a playable character
@@Truly_Sithari who Hawkgirl really I thought she was killed wow then they should really bring bring her back as a dlc or in the next injustice 3 game if they make one
@@SonKamo21 yea in her injustice 1 ending she went to prison even backed up by the story when she went with the regime but the difference is she changes and feels guilt according to the story which is why she isn't freed and grundy is in prison as seen by the jail background possibly changing into a hero since he isn't freed and that he is saddened by shazam's death
I totally agree with all these choices, however I can understand why the Red Lanterns didn’t join Brainiac. If they did it of their own will, it would go totally against their motivation of wanting Vengeance. And even if they were all Mind-Controlled (Which I don’t believe would be possible since most are mindless beasts) that would cause the interference of the Green Lantern Corps, something neither Brainiac nor Atrocitus can handle.
I’m very late, but the main issue about DC stories that involve multiple superheroes or Superheroes vs Superheroes is the one constant that Batman must always be in the right and the hero among heroes and that hurts these types of stories more than not.
I think ivy had the most wasted potential. In the comics she kisses Harley and Harley saves her life. If they want Harley to fight ivy it can be mind control and at the near end it gets revealed she’s out of the Mind control and is the one protecting Harley in the hospital. Even in harley’s chapter it can be made to look like ivy is struggling to be free from the mind control and holding back. In Batman the animated tv show it’s revealed she’s pretty powerful and literally almost made every creature into plants but her soft spot got to her.
Honestly I would just remove the last chapter entirely and hard strike out any potential restarting of the conflict from the first game, instead having the last chapter being about Clark and Kara defeating Brainiac, maybe having him be a multi-stage fight for that purpose. Having it be a simple conclusion about Clark rediscovering his conscience and helping defeat the destroyer of Krypton for the right reasons would fit much better. I actually like the idea of him risking his life to control Brainiac's ship because he's the only one with a chance at it and he'd rather risk himself than anyone else, why couldn't that just be the end of his character arc?
Whenever someone makes a story about heroes killing villains they want a world where prisons have revolving doors makes sense but also have a realistic tone like there MCU. They want violence without consequences until someone gets killed, much like Daimiane pointed out. It comes down to the question is killing ever justified, but no one ever allows it to be debated in a satisfying manner, like you said Batman ever answers Robin about what should have been done. I would love to see a publisher give this kind of story the dignity it deserves. That’s the real injustice of the story.
Damien's "traumatic brain damage" remark was just a smartass quip. It was a joke. Batman didn't answer it because it wasn't worth answering and he's humorless. Damien wasn't seriously trying to confront him on a moral quandary. You can tell by his sarcastic tone of voice. And, more importantly, because it's a stupid, invalid point. Obviously crippling someone isn't as bad as killing them. There's nothing hypocritical about it at all; in fact, Batman should cripple his foes more often.
A suicide squad game would be lit. Maybe its like arkham except you can play as a bunch of villains and you go on missions around the world to take people down
I'd love to see an actually good Superman game (heard a rumor that Rocksteady was maybe doing that), maybe a Flash game which would work great since he has a pretty good rogues gallery himself, a Green Lantern game which would be awesome considering all the different types of Green Lanterns as well as the different Corps and I'd also like to see a Doom Patrol game which would be pretty cool and unique considering all the weird and strange characters that have been on the team. DC has a lot of good characters, they are just obsessed with Batman. Batman is great but yeesh, so are a lot of your other character's, DC.
id like to see a superman game. maybe a first person set up tho. and it would be a journey through his life. and ud have to go into work as clark and meet small objectives to gain point and help keep ur identity. and like that option system of what to say that shapes your destiny.....that would be quite cool. and maybe vast space exploration as well and maybe after a fight or atleast a big fight hed have to go to the sun to replenish his power........
I would have Kara beat Braniac and try to make him command his ship/ robot army thing to stop attacking the earth and undo the shrinking effects of various cities. He refuses (heck he might even have destroyed the shrunken Kandor) and while Kara gets pissed she only knocks him out. Superman sees this and is in awe. After all, he killed the Joker after he killed his wife, unborn child and his city yet Kara, who witnessed the sacking of her city, her mother's death and the destruction of her ENTIRE PLANET spared the man responsible. Batman surmises that Braniac controls his tech on his chair/throne and based on some highly advanced neural interface. He figured that they might be able to essentialy will Braniac's army to stop, however, since they are not Braniac (not authorized) the interface would basically fry their brains killing them. Superman (with his enhanced physiology) decides that he'll use the interface as he believes (rightfully so) that'll he'll be able to last long enough to save the earth and restore the cities. Both Kara and Bruce objects but Kal decided that it's time his deeds caught up with him and that earth now has a new, (morally) better Kryptonian hero thus sacrificing himself and redeeming himself.
About Scarecrow's scarebeast form, I think it's the one element of the toxin scarecrow has control over, like it doesn't matter whether they are scared of it or not
I just realized since Diana referred to herself as the godess of war, wouldn't that imply that she inherited Ares' hunger for conflict. Why wasn't that used to somewhat explain her more violent behavior and why she subconsciously feels guilty about what she did to superman, that would give reason for her fear hallucination.
You forgot that Damian fucking killed nightwing! Maybe that’s why batman doesn’t care or talk to him anymore.after all in injustice gods among us after Batman beats Damian he says: “your dead to me”
Where the hell was Cyborg for most of the game? Because after the flashback, we don't see him until the Prison Break scene. He wasn't with Adam and WW when they were lecturing Kara soooo what was he up to?
I would be ok if that idea was game cannon. But I hope thar it never happens in the comics (something like that happened and was bad), but in the games it could work.
3:13 @The4thSnake I’ve never understood this scene, isnt a part of Batman’s moral code that, We don’t kill, We don’t CRIPPLE, We don’t use guns. Or am I mistaken. Otherwise another contrivance on Netherealm’s part.😂😂
One thing I'd do as a rewrite to the story of Injustice 2 is when the characters are debating what to do with Brainiac, I'd have them remember Diana has the damn Lasso of Truth, so she can make him tell them how to restore are the cities, and then once everything's fixed, then they can decide what happens between the heroes.
I honestly believe that scare crow somehow got reality warping powers base on fear before I played the game . Since he was dead in the comics and the games are supposed to be part of the comics
i love injustice 2 story it was actually really awesome and badass and yes while it isn't perfect you know what it was a badass story that gave us supergirl who's tons of fun and badass i can understand not liking neatherealms writing on some of there stories but for me personally i loved there story in this game and yes i was annoyed that Superman got turned into a villian again even though we were this close to finally getting superman back as his original self like his counterpart from injustice 1 but nope instead they turned into a villian because reasons which is a shame but you know what eh i got supergirl and her ending reforming the titans so that's some good news at least.
The Batman vs. Damian thing in the introduction is SO easy to fix. Just have Batman say something like "if it was Gotham, I'd react the same. I'd expect any of us to.

Look, anyone playing these games shouldn't have a hard time playing as superman then flipping over to scarecrow for one fight before flipping to Aquaman in the next moment, especially with the highly detailed move lists in the pause screen and toggleable difficulty.
6:24 I know it doesn’t work with the premier skins wouldn’t Guy Gardener make more sense as a scarecrow fight considering Hal killed him personally and even has guilt ridden hallucinations during his imprisonment
I really want to see this game's version from a parallel universe where all the stuff you put in your videos is actually in the game.
As an answer to Batman's brutal antics of crippling enemies he could've said
"Everyone deserves a chance for redemption, i know it's not the best solution to crime injuring criminals and maiming them, but at least they still have their lives. You of all people should know how much a person can change if given a the time and chance for change"
Referencing Damien's Journey and Bruce's from the League of Assassins into Heroes. This is not the best answer, but at least is something to explain why Batman does this, and also could be used to create a conflict in Damien as he received another chance and redeemed himself. Yet is not willingly to give the same chance for other people.
Your wasted potential series are my favorite topic to watch!
With Scarecrow, what they needed to do was have Harley’s vision happen around the same time as Diana’s. It was presented too early in the story, thus Harley’s arc was finished in the first act. Moving it creates a parallel with Diana in how they both handle their fears, one through courage and one through violence.
also that he-man vs injustice comic i think is noncanon and really doesn't matter for the injustice story as a whole
sucks cause it's way better than anything claiming the injustice label has any right to be
@@rslrandy i can agree with that because while that he-man vs injustice comic does follow the superman ending i gotta admit that series was awesome and tons of fun.
The main problem with Hal becoming a red lantern is that he would die as soon as his loses the red lantern ring.
Here's another idea for Joker in Injustice 2. Make this Joker one of the old Joker's former disciples. It would explain the different appearance. It would also be an interesting way to explain why Injustice 2 Joker is just different in general from Injustice 1 Joker. I1 Joker acts like the classic Joker from the Golden Age, a manipulative master of puppets and twisted comedian. I2 Joker is much more like Heath Ledger's Joker, a sadistic anarchist. The difference between the two is clear in their intros and arcade endings. I1 Joker puppeteers a corpse and leads a new Joker Clan. I2 Joker just laughs maniacally and watches worlds burn.
Well the critique of mk11 is going to be fun for me
not for Snake it's not:)
No need for critique, the game is a dumpster fire
Naquin Green so your crying because you can’t get off on it 😂
For the scarecrow point, one thing I'd personally do is have it be something that the hero team did in an attempt to save Crane's life for information, and because of his uses as a psychologist.
Even though he specialises in fear, a lot of the opponents you fight have very human weaknesses and flaws, which Crane could exploit. Hell, if need be maybe have him work with the heroes, and give a throwaway line of saying that he's simply doing it because he "owes the bat"
I would have loved if Scarecrow adapted depending on who he's fighting. When he fights Harley, he could be a jokerised version of the monster he appears as. Against Robin, the monster could look similar to Nightwing, with electric eyes and mouth. This would also allow for a Doomsday design when he fights Superman. Etc, it doesn't make sense that Superman is afraid of a generic monster when this guy takes on Darkseid.
This probably one of the good stories NRS has written. Sadly, it saddens me to see how they are gonna Reboot the Mk story once again. Just a cheap excuse to end it off.
Mr Thanos “Oh how the mighty have fallen” But In all seriousness, NRS Need better writers and understand the characters and their purpose to appease the plot instead of making them into mindless minions that is powerful yet can be beaten by pretty much anyone with no power cap consistency. 4thsnake makes his criticisms really interesting regardless of anyone agrees with his opinions.
I miss midway...
Sadly, it saddens me? That was redundant. Also, "this probably"? YGS, man.
One problem with your Atrocitus solution:
Hal would have died if he took off the red lantern ring if Atrocitus got it on him, the red lantern ring replaces your heart...
I would’ve liked it if more characters had gone under brainiacs control having members question who’s friend or foe and once they’re found out we see how far they’re truly gone or are corrupted like when Brainiac and Lex Luthor fused together in the animated series
After 9 11, everyone's been scared to take risks.
The one thing I wanted to happen in this game was Damian and Bruce making up thanks for that netherealm
There was a scene in the Injustice comic where Batman admitted he should have killed Joker at the moment he realized what was happening to Clark. He acknowledged he had been in a no win situation, and a fallen Batman was less dangerous to the world than a fallen Superman. The first Injustice comics had much better writing than the game, and it's frustrating that it had to retcon a lot of shit just to fit with the inferior writing in the sequel game.
Love this series
Also is no one going to talk about the fact that Damian in the first game had long hair but in injustice 2 has short hair even though he'd have no way to cut it
It would have been really interesting for both Damian and Bruce to show regret maybe with Bruce continuously trying to talk to damian through the story and damian just wondering if Bruce is right and clark is in the wrong
I love Batman but Jesus they over use him so much
just like how DC overuse Batman
No they don't imo
@@kingki1919 actually batman is a very overused character and if don't believe me tell in this decade when there hasn't been something batman related coming out
Comedy King, mr B is right because there haven’t even been animated movies with Power Girl or Helena Wayne in them, but there have been multiple shows/movies with Batwoman, Batgirl, and Batman in them, and at this point in time Batman is becoming overrated as a character.
@Comedy King still doesn't outweigh the amount of Batman related content and reference in media also some not all have some bat reference anyways so yeah he is still overused
I like to think that Batman pays for the thugs' medical bills.
Always love when u upload I'm gunna go get some pop corn
Guard: Goes to sleep for a bit and some bruises for a week or 2
Damian: So it's ok to cripple not kill?
Ah! You mentioned Nando! This crossover sure warms my heart.
I just realised it's plot-ential.
Maybe the chapter names would be something like:
Chapter 9: A Son’s Descent (Nightwing)
Chapter 12: Absolute Justice/Absolute Power (Supergirl)
You know your story system is bad when Super Smash Bros Brawl of all games handled it's single player plot better.
Y'know, the crossover from 2008 that refuses to use locations from the series it crosses over outside of a pitiful handful of exceptions and refuses to let it's characters talk? Yeah, that game did cinematic stories better then any NetherRealm game period with one simple tweak: after a cutscene you get to pick more or less every character from that cutscene to use in the upcoming fight. This not only completely shits on the character focused chapter system as it allows characters to keep winning battles long after they were initially introduced since theoretically they can win any and every fight they're present for, but it also opens up intresting branches in the story when a cutscene ends with two seprate sides clashing and the player gets to choose which side wins (I think the only big instance of this is Mario and Pit versus Link and Yoshi, and ultimately the player's choice doesn't matter, but I'd still take that over all three Nether Realm era MK games put together).
On top of that it kind of helps solve the potential issue with casuals or newcomers not understanding how to play certain characters as in brawl most characters are always joined by atleast one other atleast two or three stages after their introduction, giving the player atleast some amount of choice in who they play as.
Finally it solves the issue this game has with players choosing a character and the other running off to fuck around as in Brawl when they player has the ability to choose more then one character they select them in order of who they want to play as to determine their stocks, kind of like how characters are chosen in KoF. This way if, say the player needs to fight Wonder Woman as Batman and Supergirl and wants to try out Supergirl they aren't forced to learn they hate playing her, lose and then restart as after they potentially lose as Supergirl, Batman would just tag in where she left off.
Injustice 2 could really add more characters for black Adam I wish there was a Shazam skin and hawkgirl if she didn’t die in the first one to be a playable character
she is in prison
@@Truly_Sithari who Hawkgirl really I thought she was killed wow then they should really bring bring her back as a dlc or in the next injustice 3 game if they make one
@@SonKamo21 yea in her injustice 1 ending she went to prison even backed up by the story when she went with the regime but the difference is she changes and feels guilt according to the story which is why she isn't freed and grundy is in prison as seen by the jail background possibly changing into a hero since he isn't freed and that he is saddened by shazam's death
@@Truly_Sithari oh
I think Atrocitus should've been in opposition to Brainiac as he feels the wrath of people that have died wrongful death
8:21 Maybe make Joker a revenant
Me: oh a new notification
*Looks*
Me: My day has gotten significantly better.
I totally agree with all these choices, however I can understand why the Red Lanterns didn’t join Brainiac. If they did it of their own will, it would go totally against their motivation of wanting Vengeance. And even if they were all Mind-Controlled (Which I don’t believe would be possible since most are mindless beasts) that would cause the interference of the Green Lantern Corps, something neither Brainiac nor Atrocitus can handle.
I’m very late, but the main issue about DC stories that involve multiple superheroes or Superheroes vs Superheroes is the one constant that Batman must always be in the right and the hero among heroes and that hurts these types of stories more than not.
I think ivy had the most wasted potential. In the comics she kisses Harley and Harley saves her life. If they want Harley to fight ivy it can be mind control and at the near end it gets revealed she’s out of the Mind control and is the one protecting Harley in the hospital. Even in harley’s chapter it can be made to look like ivy is struggling to be free from the mind control and holding back. In Batman the animated tv show it’s revealed she’s pretty powerful and literally almost made every creature into plants but her soft spot got to her.
for some reason i remember already watching this months ago wtf
@OfficialRonin yeeesss
Is this a re upload because i feel the same way
iLuvPandas Smartz you just had a Mandela effect
It's similar to his critique.
Honestly I would just remove the last chapter entirely and hard strike out any potential restarting of the conflict from the first game, instead having the last chapter being about Clark and Kara defeating Brainiac, maybe having him be a multi-stage fight for that purpose. Having it be a simple conclusion about Clark rediscovering his conscience and helping defeat the destroyer of Krypton for the right reasons would fit much better. I actually like the idea of him risking his life to control Brainiac's ship because he's the only one with a chance at it and he'd rather risk himself than anyone else, why couldn't that just be the end of his character arc?
Nevermind any of that! Let's see the real Power Girl!
Nice recommendation to Nando V. Movies' Justice League. Saw it when released and it is GREAT. Definitely a better idea.
Awesome Video Bro!
NRS just needs to stop and hire you to reboot mk and injustice
I absolutely love your changes to the villains
Whenever someone makes a story about heroes killing villains they want a world where prisons have revolving doors makes sense but also have a realistic tone like there MCU. They want violence without consequences until someone gets killed, much like Daimiane pointed out. It comes down to the question is killing ever justified, but no one ever allows it to be debated in a satisfying manner, like you said Batman ever answers Robin about what should have been done. I would love to see a publisher give this kind of story the dignity it deserves. That’s the real injustice of the story.
Damien's "traumatic brain damage" remark was just a smartass quip. It was a joke. Batman didn't answer it because it wasn't worth answering and he's humorless. Damien wasn't seriously trying to confront him on a moral quandary. You can tell by his sarcastic tone of voice. And, more importantly, because it's a stupid, invalid point. Obviously crippling someone isn't as bad as killing them. There's nothing hypocritical about it at all; in fact, Batman should cripple his foes more often.
aw shit, here we go again.
I just want a non Batman DC game.
Wondie has never had one.
A suicide squad game would be lit. Maybe its like arkham except you can play as a bunch of villains and you go on missions around the world to take people down
Literally either of these
I'd love to see an actually good Superman game (heard a rumor that Rocksteady was maybe doing that), maybe a Flash game which would work great since he has a pretty good rogues gallery himself, a Green Lantern game which would be awesome considering all the different types of Green Lanterns as well as the different Corps and I'd also like to see a Doom Patrol game which would be pretty cool and unique considering all the weird and strange characters that have been on the team. DC has a lot of good characters, they are just obsessed with Batman. Batman is great but yeesh, so are a lot of your other character's, DC.
id like to see a superman game. maybe a first person set up tho. and it would be a journey through his life. and ud have to go into work as clark and meet small objectives to gain point and help keep ur identity. and like that option system of what to say that shapes your destiny.....that would be quite cool. and maybe vast space exploration as well and maybe after a fight or atleast a big fight hed have to go to the sun to replenish his power........
2:04 I feel like Clark and Kara should have beaten Brainiac together avenging the destruction of their home planet.
why is Wonder Woman always a psycho-path, for no reason.
Can’t wait for the Shao Kahn one
I would have Kara beat Braniac and try to make him command his ship/ robot army thing to stop attacking the earth and undo the shrinking effects of various cities. He refuses (heck he might even have destroyed the shrunken Kandor) and while Kara gets pissed she only knocks him out. Superman sees this and is in awe. After all, he killed the Joker after he killed his wife, unborn child and his city yet Kara, who witnessed the sacking of her city, her mother's death and the destruction of her ENTIRE PLANET spared the man responsible. Batman surmises that Braniac controls his tech on his chair/throne and based on some highly advanced neural interface. He figured that they might be able to essentialy will Braniac's army to stop, however, since they are not Braniac (not authorized) the interface would basically fry their brains killing them. Superman (with his enhanced physiology) decides that he'll use the interface as he believes (rightfully so) that'll he'll be able to last long enough to save the earth and restore the cities. Both Kara and Bruce objects but Kal decided that it's time his deeds caught up with him and that earth now has a new, (morally) better Kryptonian hero thus sacrificing himself and redeeming himself.
3:20 "Flawed human being, like SUPERMAN" HMMMMMMMMM.........
not hating btw just something I noticed
So He-Man is gonna be in the 3rd one? xD
Probably.
Who owns He-Man again?
Mattel owns He-Man,I think.
Holy injustice, Batman!
About Scarecrow's scarebeast form, I think it's the one element of the toxin scarecrow has control over, like it doesn't matter whether they are scared of it or not
I just realized since Diana referred to herself as the godess of war, wouldn't that imply that she inherited Ares' hunger for conflict. Why wasn't that used to somewhat explain her more violent behavior and why she subconsciously feels guilty about what she did to superman, that would give reason for her fear hallucination.
You forgot that Damian fucking killed nightwing! Maybe that’s why batman doesn’t care or talk to him anymore.after all in injustice gods among us after Batman beats Damian he says: “your dead to me”
And the first Chapter is a retelling of that very event, but without Dick present.
You really should be writing Injustice and Mortal Kombat
At this point, they should rename the game to Batman v DC Universe.
Where the hell was Cyborg for most of the game? Because after the flashback, we don't see him until the Prison Break scene. He wasn't with Adam and WW when they were lecturing Kara soooo what was he up to?
I Love this especially the Scarecrow Idea
Black Batman maybe
I would be ok if that idea was game cannon.
But I hope thar it never happens in the comics (something like that happened and was bad), but in the games it could work.
Legion of Doom is a better name than The Society
3:13 @The4thSnake I’ve never understood this scene, isnt a part of Batman’s moral code that, We don’t kill, We don’t CRIPPLE, We don’t use guns. Or am I mistaken. Otherwise another contrivance on Netherealm’s part.😂😂
Netherrealm loves a good retconning
Unfortunately, they rarely are good.
One thing I'd do as a rewrite to the story of Injustice 2 is when the characters are debating what to do with Brainiac, I'd have them remember Diana has the damn Lasso of Truth, so she can make him tell them how to restore are the cities, and then once everything's fixed, then they can decide what happens between the heroes.
I think instead of Hal fighting John he should fight Guy, because he sees Guy in the prequel comic as a hallucination
They could of given scarecrow the yellow lantern ring which could of let him give off fear toxin
Wait what the fuck is TH-cam doing? Holy shit. I’m subscribed lad, but I’ll be sure to be more active.
Imagine get robert fucking england and doing nothing with him
they could’ve most definitely have better characters but i feel like we’re going to get everything we want in injustice 3 guarantee you that
I can't wait for you to do the same thing with Mortal Kombat 11.
I honestly believe that scare crow somehow got reality warping powers base on fear before I played the game . Since he was dead in the comics and the games are supposed to be part of the comics
Scarecrow could have make Superman face a toxic version of himself to come to conclusion of monster he became before Clark facing Scarecrow
Scarecrow does have a demon form in the comics because of a experiment he did that’s why he looks like that
i love injustice 2 story it was actually really awesome and badass and yes while it isn't perfect you know what it was a badass story that gave us supergirl who's tons of fun and badass i can understand not liking neatherealms writing on some of there stories but for me personally i loved there story in this game and yes i was annoyed that Superman got turned into a villian again even though we were this close to finally getting superman back as his original self like his counterpart from injustice 1 but nope instead they turned into a villian because reasons which is a shame but you know what eh i got supergirl and her ending reforming the titans so that's some good news at least.
Agreed
DC marvel Fanboy indeed
I really wished they did more with Doctor Fate. He was shown like two or three times and then embarrassedly killed off.
God I hate the Chapter system
