uh, MK vs. DC is really damn good! Granted I haven't played a MK (or any non-Smash Bros fighting game) in like 13 years, and I am solely interested in the DC stuff, but this is both fun and solidly put together. Feels like a true MK despite being 3D. And Captain Marvel's Kingdom Come lightning blast move is awesome.
dude, this totally sounds like a gamestop user review.

I feel like I could write some funny Zizek-esque explication of that clip, but I'm too tired right now to think. But how about this; We expect Jared to die in the first sequence when Sonya has thrown him off the cliff, but he subverts our expectations and throws her off instead. But, because the medium feels guilty for mocking our expectations (and MK is all about obvious payoff), Jared must still die to Jax in the next sequence. This both revenges the feminine (Sonya), but also sets everything right once more. We expected Jared to die and so he must die. This is, in fact, the meaning of Mortal Kombat. Subtlety is eschewed in favor of gore and fatalities (for which the series was critiqued historically) - it's not merely an adolescent fantasy world, but a fantasy world about completion and expectation. What happens is what always must have happened.
This is, in fact, why the friend-alities are the most subversive aspect of MK. Except, of course, for the baby-alities. (Contrast this to the DC world where storylines and comics extend for hundreds of issues over decades. MK V. DC is actually a battle between completion/resolution and unending non-linearity.)

they are called FRIENDHIPs

The truth is, I always sucked at MK because I couldn't remember the really complicated moves.

IMO MK2 > UMK3 > MK > MK3
the rest, haven't played
― mh, Monday, 11 January 2010 22:25 (fourteen years ago) link
UMK3 added back some stuff that was good with MK2, but by then the franchise had already turned and a lot of people had walked away before it came out.
imo ultimate MK3 > MK ultra

the mortal kombat movie is awesome. up there with the sf animated movie

MK Rebirth movie demo is very cheesy but I would probably rent it if it was all like that.

I don't think I'm down with this whole 'realistic dork knight' mortal kombat. MK is all about opening up portals to other dimensions and shit. how the hell are they going to explain goro? why is scorpion speaking? why does he not have a huge flaming head on his neck? wtf is deacon city?
