I Wasn’t Making Such A Big Deal About It Tho, Was I? It Only Became A Deal At All When U Called Me

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.

she's really pleasant to draw

Just finished season 2 of Arcane, I could cry.

Honestly, if they really wanted Bi-Han to kill his own father, they should have made him do it for a different reason. Sektor already killed his old man out of greed and lust for power. Bi-Han's motive had the potential to be more tragic and would have made him much more sympathetic. However, it implies going with the Midway Timeline version of the Sub-Zero bros' lore and the old Lin Kuei clan, which I heavily prefer. I don't even know if people care about the former timelines anymore. 🫥

I honestly love the old idea of their father being a Lin Kuei warrior who worked undercover in the U.S, who charmed an innocent woman and had three children with her, only to reveal his true colors and intentions when his sons were old enough to bring into the clan. The poor mother tried her best to hide from him and keep her children safe, but there wasn't much she could do.

Just picture this : Bi-Han and Kuai Liang, as young children, being taken away from their mom, being taken away from their home. Forced into a harsh life they didn't want, in a place where they weren't allowed to stay together and comfort each other. Imagine Bi-Han, unable to save his little brother as both of them were being turned into heartless killing machines. Imagine Bi-Han, forcing himself to distance himself from Kuai Liang to ensure both of their safety, no matter how much it hurt him.

"Do not trust anyone. Least of all, family."

But, really, he cared about his little bro so much... 😢

"Tundra, how you have grown..." 😭

We don't even know what happened to their mother and little sister, they could be dead for all we know. What if Bi-Han, being older at the time of the kidnapping, still remembered what happened ? He would have every reason to hate his father for what he did to them and for what he did to him and Kuai Liang.

Of course he would let the bastard die as soon as he had the chance.

And he would be right.

I've been thinking about how concerning Raiden's emotional intelligence was before Liu Kang babyfied him

You just know! Female kung lao would have a great body! Big tits hips and ass! And she knows it too

Urgent Relief ... 🚨

Please listen to me and help my family 🙏💔

Im Mohammed Alhabil from Gaza , I am a father of three young children "Ahmed , Osama , Mira ", My wife and I are trying as much as possible to save what remains of our children’s childhood.

We lost our home, all our dreams and memories were destroyed, and everything we built over the past years was lost. We have become without shelter or a place to live or live in. 😞💔

PLEASE HELP AND STAND BY US

We were displaced from Gaza to Rafah at the beginning of the war, and we survived the genocide that occurred, We somewhat found some peace there as it was a safe area, but unfortunately, after Rafah was attacked, we left under bombing, destruction, and gunfire.

My children and I saw death, and we were displaced again. To Nuseirat, as it is somewhat a safe area, but there is no safety after the attack on Nuseirat a month ago. We have lived an unforgettable experience of fear, death, and genocide, and now I wish that everything would end and that I and my young children would be saved from all of this. They have no fault in what is happening, so I created the link so that they can have a better life and escape this genocide that is stalking them and eliminating their childhood 💔💔
