Also everyone points to the Sindel line as an all time woof stinker of dialogue but anytime someone is screaming about embracing your Animality or whatever it's laugh out loud funny.

I'll legally change my name to Shinnok just as soon as I sire my two sons, Shao Kahn and Raiden. When they come home with a bad report card I'll tell them I DO NOT WANT TO REMEMBER YOU THIS WEEK

The Bee posted:I mean, isn't that basically canon, since the alternative is open inter-realm warfare? Technically, yeah I guess. But if you asked anyone to describe MK in one sentence, there's zero chance the word "life" gets used before "beheading," "disembowelment" or even "pulped." Defending the Earthrealm is a justification for ripping spines and shoving spikes through eyeballs.

Even if you do get this exchange: "You need me here, Raiden." "It wouldn't be hell without Johnny Cage."

I kinda get the vibe the elder gods are generally wise but they also disagree on a ton of poo poo, as gods are wont to. The compromise exists because some of them think war is rad, probably.

When he did an "illegal" invasion it took some weird rules lawyering from Raiden to get them to finally intervene. The elder gods are pretty useless.

Codependent Poster posted:Yeah that's a good comparison, though I think Cage is actually more competent. I think it helps that Cage is good at exactly two things: fighting and looking good, and he's aware of his skillset, and that if things are dire enough that he has to step up, he's going to do his damned best not to gently caress it up. He's also apparently a pretty good dad, or at least became one. I get the impression he and Cassie often have conversations that consist entirely of movie quotes.

Johnny's motivation is to prove that he's as cool as he thinks he is and I'm glad he got at least one timeline to do it.

He also gets the second best arcade ending in 11. Young Johnny is shocked that Dad Johnny and Cassie have a good relation so after getting time powers he uses them to look into his future and see that he has a lot of growing up to do to get to that point and decides to leave his future mostly unchanged.

The rules of Mortal Kombat seem pretty fair to be honest. You gotta win 10 tournaments in a row to invade another realm and they're sometimes hundreds of years apart.

The weird part is how basically 99.9% of everyone on earth has no idea about this tournament. What happens if Shao Khan wins 10 times and the realms start merging and monsters pop out of thin air in NYC, will the people who fight back get disintegrated by the elder gods for being sore losers? You'd think this poo poo wouldn't be kept secret and that Raiden would want the entire world to be aware they need to train mega-warriors to prevent the apocalypse.

That's only from the first movie. It seems like everyone but Johnny is aware of this in the games.

Only post MK3 when Shao Khan forcefully tried merging the realms and you had stages like a bank and the subway. Its kind of hard to keep the tournament a secret when you had a big soulnado in LA.

The elder gods hate try-hards. It's why the rules are stacked against Shao Khan in the first place, if he had eased up a little they might have agreed to five wins in a row as a condition for invasion.

It allows the winner to stage an invasion. It does guarantee that it will succeed and that rules. Sure you trained an army of monsters to take over Earthrealm the moment you win but you didn't know that humans had A-10 Warthog technology. "hahaha Goro liquifier machine goes brrrrrrr"
