#mkx comics

[cclawthorne1]

It's not like bro wasn't warned 🤔 (And another thing, THIS IS CAGEBLADE, THEY LITERALLY CONCEIVED CASSIE THE FIRST TIME THEY SLEPT TOGETHER.)

Anyways, this fanfic is still in its early stages, only two chapters. There's a lot to come.

Hey Minnie! Hope you don't mind me coming into your inbox to ramble, but I had a realization and a theory that I think you might appreciate.

So, I know we always complain about Dominic as The Guy Who Can't Write MK, and I do think he's part of the problem, but I think the real final boss of Bad MK Writers is Shawn Kittelsen.

He wrote the MKX comic, and is thus responsible for "Cassie was the result of a one night stand and Sonya never loved Johnny before MKX" (which is a bullshit interpretation of their dynamic), Hanzo "Sub-Zero is Beyond Saving Let's Just Leave Him For Dead" Hasashi, and probably other awful shit (oh wait, now I remember. Killing off a bunch of characters unceremoniously, for really no reason other than blood. That's just a shitty use of resources)

He started working on the games in MK11, and I'm pretty fucking sure he's responsible for Kotal/Jade (weird because it has no buildup), past Sonya being an unrepentant bitch (telling the father of your future daughter to get a vasectomy when you know said daughter personally is bitch behavior. As is not reading a mission report all the way through. Sonya is an emotionally repressed soldier, duty comes before everything for her. That's kinda the point of her arc in MKX??? But now she's suddenly incapable of understanding the idea that military service is about duty and sacrifice), the weird sexual threats Shao Kahn dishes out (because what the FUCK NRS? That's never been an aspect of the character before. Forced marriage, yes, but you'll note that he has no offspring of his own. Also, that's just a little much for the tone of MK), and probably the Sindel Retcon.

I have no idea what we're getting at, other than "Dominic is semi competent at writing" and "Shawn might just be on par with Stephen King, but only if you're comparing his writing to the sewer scene in IT."

Dont worry, i dont mind at all! I do appreciate this!☺️

And yeah, Shawn is apsolutley to blame as well. I think that the whole NRS writing team hates the franchise tbh(not the whole, but the Ones who write the most important stuff for the games and media). I did hear he was one of the main writters for mk11.

You are right tho, his interpretation of the characters that he did in the comics is pretty much what is ruining them the most(before mk11 ofc). I first found mkx the game and then the comics and without the knowlage of what comic!Hanzo did, i Just Kinda Thought he was Just a vengfull ass, but then the comics are what made me hate him.

I realy want to know what all of these mfs are smoking, cuz it doesnt seem like its good for them.

I also heard that mkx the game and mkx the comic were in production at the same time, so whoever was in charge of making sure they are on the same Page didnt do a good job, since the comics are not even complitely Canon at the end. Mostly cuz they didnt fit in with the game's narative and the characters were off(even they noticed, but a little too late). The "Cassie is a product of a one night stand" is one of them, cuz, in the game, some of the dialogue seems to indicate that Sonya was realy in love with Johnny and they only divorced later cuz of their marriage problems.

Some of their choices for mk11 are just disturbing. Someone Thought of that and actualy presented it and then someone ALLOWED it!

And Ed Boon seems to not give a flying f about what people do to the franchise he has built. Just stands around and hopes it makes him money.

In advance, i apologize if i ended up a bit biased and its complitely alright and understandable if Someone disagrees with me. I am in no way a profesional and probably just letting my emotions do all talking. (imma be honest, im mostly mad cuz the torture Kuai and then make him the bad guy or imply his life is easy)

Suchin is Kenshi's former lover and mother of his son, Takeda. Little is known of her past or how she met Kenshi, and even less is known of what drew them together.

I’m just gonna yell about this because this is something I really love.

Takeda didn’t trust Hanzo at first. He thought he was spectre from hell, even though Hanzo was freed from his revenant form years ago. He was scared of him, heck on the next page he actually tries to run away from him. He was (understandably, being 8 years old at the time) scared even though Hanzo wanted the best for him and took him into the Shirai Ryu. Takeda only saw him for who he was in the past, not the present (and it’s worth noting that Hanzo himself felt extreme guilt for his past actions, and was continuing to struggle with controling Scorpion.)

Years later, Fox massacres most of the Shirai Ryu and ties up Hanzo with his own kunai and poisons him, sending him into a state of delirium, where he relives his memories of the destruction of the old Shirai Ryu. Fox tries to convince Takeda to kill Hanzo, using Hanzo’s struggle against his (literal) inner demon to justify doing so. He tells Takeda that Scorpion is the REAL Hanzo, and that killing him would prevent the destructive actions of a monster. It calls back to the reason Takeda didn’t trust Hanzo all those years ago: the Scorpion side of him.

And Takeda refuses to kill Hanzo. In fact he attacks Fox for hurting him. Why? Because Takeda has spent years with Hanzo at this point. He’s gotten to know what Hanzo is actually like. He knows that Hanzo is not Scorpion. And heck, Hanzo has been the only parental figure for him ever since Suchin died and Kenshi screwed off somewhere. They’ve formed a close bond with each other, and it shows here.

This scene shows how much Takeda has grown and changed as a character, and it’s done in a very well written way. At first he didn’t like or trust Hanzo, and now he’s defending him when he’s weak and vulnerable.

Idk, I thought this was a great example of character development for Takeda.
