The gore in the latest MK is just stupid, tbqh.

I was watching a fatalities video and I assumed a lot of those moves were the finishers. Like, you see someone's skull get lasered through in x-ray vision and then the character is just standing there with their health bar reduced?

It's very weird how they want you to suspend your disbelief for those stupid x-ray moves and overall the whole thing just comes across as cringey more than anything else.

In some of the 3D games there were death traps in the stages that characters could be knocked into and you'd see them die in some gruesome way. But functionally they were just ring-outs. Getting knocked into one just meant you lost that round. So a character could get crushed by spikes or boiled in acid and be right back up and fighting the next round.

That's sort of how the gore in MK games always worked. It's supposed to be over the top and even kinda silly and not really meant to be taken seriously.
