#shang tsung and tagawas reprisal broke his back for mk11 sorry not sorry honey thems the facts n tea

[mrstsung]

Can i say something?

Is it me or are these passing the mantle stories getting tiresome?

Like i would be ok with it. If they didn't screw up the character they are passing it down from so much and treating the protege character as some saint who can do no wrong or it being some savior complex type thing.

Like for example.

I would be totally down for liu kang being a god. If kitana,lao,and krew would be gods too. To replace the other gods. That would make sense for a journey completed story.

But nope all we get is kang. Like when he became a god,he didn't get corrupt before? Like we gonna ignore that? Somehow im supposed to believe liu is some perfect little saint who can do no wrong? Like liu didn't have faults too?

But somehow all the others who had reasonable faults despite the crappy NRS writing. Were still pretty enjoyable.

But somehow liu becomes a god,takes raidens job,and "saves" kung laos ancestor thru the power of friendship?!

Boooooooo.

Basic af.

See this is why i like shangs ending

Like fr you screw up raiden(and wait till last minute to do anything remotely good for thunder dilf) and give it to liu and somehow I'm supposed to like this?!

No.

I don't.

Im glad raiden is retired. Good lords know he needs a damn vacation. But why not fujin,why not anyone else? He's right damn there! (Like fr why liu kang? Because hEs ChoSEn OnE? Yeah ok sure....)

Raiden THE LEGIT GOD OF THUNDER WITH HIS BRO FUJIN WHO ARE PART OF ONE BIG COSMIC FORCE OF NATURE IN THE IRL MYTHOS AND BELIEFS BTW.

Is now replaced by a god liu kang who is good on his own but better mortal. That was the point.

To show that no matter if you are mortal,no matter who you are,where you come from. You can be strong and help people. WITHOUT GOD POWERS.

Look i prefer mortal liu,without god cop out powers.

Raiden in mk is the only god of thunder NRS, Sorry 🤚🏻🚫

That's one of the many things i hate about newer timelines and storylines.

LET'S FACE IT. SHANG TSUNG?, HE FUCKING CARRIED MK11! tagawa back was the only truly smart thing they did.

I don't just say this as a shang tsung simp. But in general respect for the series in general.

Because if it wasnt for tagawa reprising his role? I wouldn't touch this game worth a damn.

He is shang to me!

Look im happy that fujin,nightwolf(bless him),sheeva,etc. They are all back. And some other features too.

But legit tagawa as shang?! Thats what sold me. Plus if im truly being honest?

Some of the story is legit just warner bros,disney,cop out,crap writing that legit can be found on some old 2000s ao3 story post.

Not even joking.

Mortal kombat is better when its simpler. When you try to make it bigger than itself and its britches. Then its doomed to fail. Because it's not as easy to digest,develop characters PROPERLY,and not basically speedrun plot and development.

Mk11 is a better game. But its not THE BEST of mk has to offer.

In fact,you. Yes. You fans? You fans on here?

You are what makes this fandom good. Tho there is few of us.

Honestly i have had more fun with mk fans on here and more entertainment out of their works than canon works.

Why? Because love is put into its stitches.

Like y'all shang simps get me. Y'all mk fangirls understand. Y'all thirsty hoes at 3am with the delicious food and kontent. You complete me as a fan.

Like i love the games,they are the bread n butter. But when the bread and butter becomes stale and the side dishes are better than the main course?

Thats bad. Thats like real bad for a company and franchise.

It's sad too because i grew up with the og stuff,and im impressed how far we've come in gaming. But oof the storytelling has gotten worse and worse. But more so because no love and care was put in.

Its like the difference between a homemade cookie and a cheepy store bought one. Sure the store bought is edible enough,but the homemade tastes better. Because its warm,soft,full of love and care,and handcrafted,just for you.

Like i hate how the characters minus a certain few are ignored,nerfed,going backwards in development,its completely bias of NRS and it reeks of it. And its shows so damn much. And some fans,not all. Don't talk bout it much. And it saddens me. Tho some of y'all do understand and dont put mk11 on a pedestal. Despite the delicious shang content us shang simps get. Oh and we get a lot of it. Hehe.

But even us. Shang lovers. Understand that the game and its story is lacking.

Why is it villain and or antagonist lovers always seem to do shit better?

Again enough rambles. Back to our regularly scheduled simpin.
