Reblog to kill it faster

please never stop talking passionately about the things you love

I am not happy about Sektor and Cyrax's change from Cyborgs to power suits.

I am very excited for Khaos Reigns.

But I am not a fan of the redesign of Sektor and Cyrax.

I could care less that they changed their genders. But.... Jade, Sareena, Jataaka, Kia, Skarlet, Cassie & Jacqui and Khameleon were all right there.

I'm all for new interpretations of the characters, especially since this game is all about the multiverse, but MK1 has been building up to Countess Jade and Sareena has this great redesign that's wasted as a cameo.

Also? We have the perfect design from MK11 that they refused to let us play as and the new designs feel like a downgrade

And honestly MK9 did this better. Cyrax resisting automation while Sektor was fully prepared to lose his humanity to be a more efficient assassin. Cyrax gets his redemption in MK11(pointlessly killed because Ed didn't want us to play as him 🙃)

But we're doing this AGAIN for the sake of multiverse bullshit that I'm already tired of.

Also, if this is Sektor

Who the HELL is this from Sub-Zero's ending?

But what really bothers me is the change in design and going from Cyborgs to Iron Man Suits.

They took away all the depth and tragedy that came with the cyber initiative program and just made it....people in bodysuits...

So much for "gore is an important part of MK"…… Cyber Initiative was one of the biggest body horror elements of MK

It was such a traumatic event that left people scarred for life. The process of having no say in it then getting dismembered and replacing your body with machine was pure horror. Now it's just Iron Man army.

The main elephant in the room, the gender swapping, doesn’t really bother me. But taking away that fact that they’re cyborgs is mind boggling. That’s the main thing Sektor and Cyrax are known for!

It was such a terrifying and important moment in Lin Kuei history and really spoke to the lengths that Kuai Liang went to reform the Lin Kuei. It was one of the most scary and gruesome aspects of Mk, which is what mk is all about. I'm tried of these sterile and watered down versions of these characters.

If I'm being honest, storywise. The "new era" sucks in almost every way. There are good things like redeeming Sindel, Mileena being good and having a proper sisterly relationship with Kitana, Li Mei, Reptile and Ashrah. But everything else? No. Making Kuai Liang Scorpion was bafflingly stupid. Like why couldn't they just have the Lin Kuei and Shirai Ryu be at peace? Liu Kang's new era amounted to changing but the same shit happens anyway.

It just tells the same beats over and over again. It would've been really cool if they actually told a new and different Mortal Kombat with actually different versions of the characters or entirely new characters altogether. But in every way it's just the old story but with at best slight, insignificant alterations and at worst alterations that fail to account for what made the old stuff actually cool and interesting. It should have actually did something with Liu Kang making The Great Kung Lao his champion and that should have resulted with a new story in an early era. But they refused to take risks.

I'm in France but idgaf

People protesting for Palestinians by not voting are contributing to the Genocide of Palestinians

This has been said time and time again that not voting is a vote for Trump and yet people seem to care more about moral purity than actual chosing the one candidate between the two that proposed a fucking CEASEFIRE.

Yes she's fucking awful regarding Palestinian issues, she's a zionist, she's being a fucking centrist about it but you know what she isn't doing ?? Telling Israel to "get it over with"

You don't get to fucking chose your options in a life or death situation, you FUCKING PICK THE BEST OPTION FOR YOUR SURVIVAL.

THIS IS NOT THE CORRECT POLITICAL CLIMATE TO BE PULLING THIS SHIT

The fact people have the fucking priviledge to smugly declare themselves morally better for not voting someone who is pro-genocide while they let someone who is a MILLION TIMES WORSE take over and not only ruin the lives of palestinians even more and also countless other minorities.

The worse fact is how these people also throw countless minorities under the bus for the sake of their activism.

Countless of queer people, POC and women who literally have to vote to not fucking lose their rights and you somehow have the gall to turn your nose away from people who are TERRIFIED of being fucking hate crimed and losing their rights.

I'm not gonna pull any of this "i know harris is awful but you still have to vote !" wishy washy bullshit

If you don't vote Harris out of activism you are a priviledged smarmy piece of shit that is putting the lives of minorities in danger for the sake of your moral purity.

The French Left didn't fucking win by turning up their nose and refusing to vote for the centrist party. We got SHIT DONE and that literally GOT THE LEFT THE WIN.

The reason I give a shit despite being in France is that puttin Trump in charge will literally poison the well for everybody. You are literally pushing everybody down to the abyss if you don't fucking vote

Bully the SHIT out of Harris's ass when she's president, right now is NOT the fuckinv time

I would pay to see it ngl

See THIS is what I want dude!

I’m glad everyone just going hog wild with ideas of using Mickey in both good and the bad

When you tell an invincible fan who your favorite characters are and they hit you with the comic reader stare

This is the plot right?
