It turns out NRS started embracing DEI/ESG shit in 2015 (MKX had woke shit, but anyone who tried to expose it got silenced), but even with all the virtue signaling their diversity score is at a measly 3.9. One of the reviews from Glassdoor states that former Midway employees were intentionally kept from promotions so diversity hires can get promoted.

Well that is gross and unexpected. How is that shit working out for ya, NRS?
This is a very important question to me (not really)

Which is the better MK theme

The original Techno Overdrive:

Or

The '97 remix:
Oooo music sperging
The original all the way.

Also on the topic of the Techno Syndrome remix, have you listened to the Dimitri Vegas version? Which was basically used for the MK11 trailer and as a thank-you, he got his own skin for Sub-Zero?

It was remixed for tournament mode. It barely sounds like it at first.

They remixed it again for the shitty movie.

Aside from the original, I have a soft spot for this remix which was not sanctioned by NRS...or Midway.

Since we are on music, have you heard the MK9 character themes, where not everyone got a theme and a lot of them except a certain few are really horribly unfitting? I like some of them, though the Skrillex one for Reptile makes me cringe because, and pl here, I am reminded of my youth when I unironically liked Skrillex.

Pardon the formatting but they are in this playlist and you gotta scroll a bit to find them at the end. Side note; Baraka's theme makes me smile because I'm imagining Baraka of old tearing apart MK1 Baraka and girlboss Mileena while the chorus goes KILL.

There are a couple things about the remix that I like better than the original, but overall the original wins for me too. The "lyrics" of the remix I like better, flows a little better with the music, but I don't like how they sped the music up a little in the remix. It's like 1.1x faster than the original, sounds like something like that anyway. The actual voice itself, the original is better, the pronunciation/audio effects are better imo

Those Dimitri Vegas remixes are meh to me, they are missing the energy

That last remix, there were some sections of it I really liked but others I did not like at all

Also I'm retarded it's Techno Syndrome not Overdrive

And they could have done a much better job doing the mix for the Liu Kang-Shang Tsung fight at the end of the 1995 movie, they chopped it up and it didn't match up with the action as well as it should have. The first 25 seconds are amazing then they start chopping the song up and it feels very disjointed, and after 50 seconds no more MK theme! The rest of the fight, just generic action music. Play the damn song in full, cut out the characters being listed (not the music in that part just the guy saying their names), choreograph the action to the music all the way and let it roll you hack frauds

New Sektur sneak peek.
Holy shit! Does no one yet realize this means Madam Bo is a genderswap in the New Era since logic dictates she was the Lin Kuei Grandmaster in previous timelines, the one who set the original clan to fucking ruin with the Cyber Initiative? And then patricided by her own power-mad kid, Sektor? That's hilarious to put two and two together!

Isn't Madam Bo basically Bo Rai Cho too?

The name "Bo" made everyone think so and running a restaurant WOULD make sense for Bo Rai' Cho... but it's just fucking laziness a coincidence, much like Rain's real name Zefeero revealed in this game is also the name of the governor of the Outworld city that Hotaru takes over from with Shujinko's help in Deception's Konquest mode.

Ah, so it's just classic lazy writing of "we'll stick a name here that's been used before to make people soy face and point at the screen, maybe we'll actually do something with it when we can't think of anything else".
 
I don't know what's worse: the tranny pretending to be Sektor and is showing human flesh on the arm, or that Scorpion's costume looks like shit regardless to the reference it might be based on (It's from the 90s movie, right?)?
He looks like he's made out of playdoh with how texture-less his clothing is. The same is true for troon Sektor's skin.

I fucking called it for years.
The tone from MK9 to X was obvious to anyone who would bother to look.
- Females looking a lot less scantily circa MK2 to 9.
- Sonya's character assassination
- Cage's complete cuckening
- Cassie's girl boss antics
- The story as was teased in 9 going to absolute shit and reduced to a 30 minute prologue act so the new, inclusive story could be added instead.
- The UI going from unmistakably MK to generic "clean" 8th gen serif fonts and soulless design.


Yet people, even kiwis, all said that MKX was still 'true' MK.

I thought it was clear madam Bo is a genderbent Bo Rai Cho, master of Liu Kang and Kung Lao.

As autistic as TotalMK is, he's a pretty charming and entertaining guy.

Sadly, that was what the NRS niggers here would use as a meaning to bait nostalgiafags, and it seriously failed. Like that example where Boon and the niggers at NRS thinking that using tranny faced women and slap the name "Cyrax" and "Sektor" would guarantee high revenue along with the covered up bullshit. The game is rushed, and that they are creatively and morally bankrupt that they only think using the Genderbending Girlboss tactic would work in Suicide Squad, Soyny and Disney way. Quantity is what matters most to Boon and NRS, instead of actual passion poured in like their magnum opuses 3 decades ago.

Fuck no would I see it as a true MK game, just a tiny bit. Rid off Cassie, Jacqui and rewrite the shitty plot, and it should be a bit decent. Takeda is the most likeable of all Kombat Kids.
Off-topic, but recently drew Nitara and Dark Raiden. It has been 2 weeks since I draw anything MK. Dark Raiden is personally redesigned to have a bit purplish and paler skin, with white hair and some red gradient down there and having a pair of bright red eyes with black pupils instead of white. His lightning is now black, white and red altogether. In anime trash style.

You forgot Jax being a bitch, and Kung Jin suddenly being gay all because Ed Boon and Vogel pandered to the sjws who obsessed over one of Jin's lines. Oh yea, and the pro-migration message during the refugee scene. Jin was never meant to be a fag, but Boon wanted those ESG dollars from virtue signaling (For context, Jin doubted his worth as a team member because he thought his past as a shady thief would doom all of them even though Raiden saw some good in him. Vogel decided to pander to the sjw crazies by making it about identity politics and Jin's sexual orientation).
