You can totally tell who hasn't read the article.

Because nowhere in it do they say that Johnny Cage isn't in the movie. They just didn't confirm whether he was.

There are confirmed castings for nobodies like Kabal and Nitara. If Johnny Cage was in the movie, they would've announced it.

...especially when MK is plenty diverse already.

I know, right?

Liu Kang? Asian.
Kung Lao? Asian.
Raiden? Asian.
Scorpion? Asian.
Sub-Zero? Asian.
Kitana? Vaguely Asian.
Jax? Black.
Jade? Black.
Shang Tsung? Asian.
Mileena? Vaguely Asian + monster girl.
Sektor? Asian.
Cyrax? Black.

Hell, there's even Nightwolf for Native American representation (albeit a tad stereotypical).

The only white characters in the first 3 games are Johnny, Sonya, Kano, and fucking Stryker.

They should just show the story mode for MK9.

They made an OC protagonist because they wanted a character that asks all the questions the audience would ask, like "who's that?" and "what's going on?"

That was LITERALLY Johnny Cage in MK9.

CouldBeAnAlt posted...

Liu kang has been the lead since the beginning except in a few titles. Johnny took center stage a bit in Mkx but that was it

The MKX prologue is the only time Johnny Cage has ever been the main hero, and even then, Cassie Cage took over for the remainder of the story.

Isn't Liu Kang the canon hero? His fatality was the only one that didn't turn the lights off.

Yep. He's always the one that beats the big bads and saves the day.

Imagine if they said they left Jax out of the movie because having a black character be the hero is "unsavory". The usual crowd would demand their heads on a pike.

Lastly, one more problem Garner and his team had was the unsavory idea of a white character (like Johnny Cage) being the hero who saves everyone. (Tan is mixed-race Chinese-British.)...I feel like if I was getting to make a movie with a diverse cast, it felt weird to have a white actor, literally Johnny Cage, be the hero of the story, Garner says, adding that these discussions took place at the start of the movies pre-production nearly seven years ago way before Black Lives Matter and other pushes for diversity across industries including Hollywood.

So they left fan-favorite MK character Johnny Cage out of the movie because he's white. Instead, the hero of the movie is some OC (do not steal) of Chinese descent, even though Johnny Cage has NEVER been the hero that saves everyone. That has always been Liu Kang, an Asian. So creating some Chinese OC to be the main hero is completely unnecessary.

Only a psychopath would willingly have that beard and that haircut.

Alex Mercer or James Heller from the PROTOTYPE games. Dudes can just run up the side of a skyscraper, jump off and elbow-drop down to one-shot a fucking tank.

The more a grass poke'mon evolves, the more of a creature it becomes and less of a plant.

It would be ethical to eat an Oddish but not a Vileplume.

If a Vileplume tastes and smells just like the real-life flower it's based on, you wouldn't WANT to eat it in the first place.

A car has to be under your insurance/title for you to legally drive it. So if you can't just drive a friend's car to do an errand for them or drive the nearest car to the hospital if someone is in need of medical help.

I think in the latter case you can at least claim it was an emergency.

Of course they can. Just ask any random Asian person.

There was a big-ass bamboo patch in the backyard when I bought the house I currently live in. I'm pretty sure it can grow anywhere, it just only occurs natively in China.

Definitely not. The only reason why mammals ever evolved beyond tiny rodents is because the dinosaurs (and other dominant lifeforms like pterosaurs and mosasaurs) disappeared and left ecological niches open for the mammals to fill. And even then, it took mammals a while to get their act together. I'm pretty sure that birds and reptiles were the dominant lifeforms right after the dinosaurs died out.

Returning_CEmen posted...

The ice age would have definitely hurt the dinosaurs as well

Eh, I'm not sure. Plenty of dinosaur fossils have been found in areas that would've had an arctic climate, even back then.

He's Irish. No Italian mom would name their kid "Mac."

It could be short for something.

I never saw anything past Adventure 02 because that's when they stopped airing Digimon on TV in my country, but it always seemed weird to me having the kids become the Digimon.

Scyther was probably pretty bad until Gen 4, when it got X-Scissor, U-Turn, and Technician Aerial Ace.

It's honestly baffling how poorly the Bug-type was handled until Gen 4.

Gen 1 Scyther was ass tho.

That Raid: Shadow Legends promo tho. LMAO.

Does she think massage therapists want to touch every single person that walks through their door? Or that dentists like looking into the mouths of everyone that gets in their chair?

If she doesn't want to do it, then don't take their money. By taking their money, you consent to have sex with them. That's how the deal works.

Yes, but not in a good way. More like "how the fuck is it possible to go from neon casino wonderland to homeless-infested ghetto just by walking a few blocks?"

Yes, like I said, its missing a zero or two, and its not coming directly from the pockets of the police themselves.

I know America is the land of ridiculously frivolous lawsuits and all, but you don't deserve to become a millionaire just for burning your mouth on hot McDonalds coffee and you don't deserve to live out the rest of your life on easy street (and on taxpayer money no less) just because the cops killed a family member of yours. I'm not saying they shouldn't get anything, but 27 million is fucking ridiculous.

Seems a little disproportionate.

Only one, and she was a substitute teacher because my actual German teacher was on maternity leave. She really wasn't experienced at all, and there were some legitimate shitbags in my class, so of course they immediately got to testing her, and they ended up breaking her pretty quickly.

Shit's about to get interesting. You're getting hella close to the episode that ruined the series for a lot of people.

No he doesn't.

IIRC there's a moment in Endgame when they're putting the time machine together where Rocket tells Tony that he's only a genius by Earth standards.

I only have one deceased family member I cared about and she was cremated, not buried, so no.

literally everyone in america besides charlie kirk and fox news realizes that the Oprah interview is true

just saiyan buddy

Good thing Americans don't get a fucking say in how the British royal family is handled. See, here's the thing about monarchies. If their subjects want them gone, they will be gone. Just ask Louis XVI. And that was back in the day when monarchies held actual power, instead of the merely ceremonial role they play nowadays. But the British clearly don't want the royal family gone, and they're the only ones that get a say in that matter.

pure_temper posted...

Dude you guys are still gargling their explanations of the shell game?

You really think the Bill Gates foundation for philanthropy isnt a smokescreen? Same with the royal family which shouldnt even have inherited wealth as monarchs because who cares about monarchs anymore

People who live in monarchies generally do. I can vouch for that.

pure_temper posted...

you have extremely naive arguments, dude

you really think the royal family doesn't have access to immense wealth?

They don't have access to money that's tied up in land, no. Not unless they sell it.

Don't mess with furries.

pure_temper posted...

If you personally have 300 million in British pounds as a net worth and access to 10x that amount or more in shady family reserves that are tens of billions of dollars' worth, you're a fucking billionaire. And royal billionaires are a deprecated concept. Tax em.

You keep saying they have billions of dollars stashed away somewhere without a shred of evidence.

Why is everyone ranking 3D World this highly? It was the least engaging 3D Mario I've ever played.

pure_temper posted...

My stance is "tax them until they are no longer royal billionaires"

This applies to all billionaires

Yeah yeah yeah, tax the rich, seize the means of production, overthrow the bourgeoisie, yada yada yada.
