![]() ![]() The Malibu comics had some such feats but those belonged to the old-timeline (and I don't think they were official canon anyway) and even then only the big guys like Raiden did that kind of To be fair about some of the instances you mentioned, there are canon explanations and reasons.ġ. That kind of stuff like throwing cars or lifting multi-ton objects is practically non-existent in Mortal Kombat. Outside of Death Battle, which seems to have either a huge boner for MK characters or some hidden grudge against Street Fighter characters, I think everyone would agree that Street Fighter characters are almost overwhelmingly superior (the only exceptions being the MK hax characters like Cetrion and Geras, but even those lose fights against street-levelers whenever the plot demands).Īnd judging by that feat you showed, Tekken characters are also superior. And since there's only an handful of quantifiable feats in the games and all of them are street-level stuff, we can only assume that every character is a street-leveler, since they can all defeat each other depending on what the plot asks for. ![]() Mortal Kombat scaling plain sucks, it seems like the characters have a pure Rock-Paper-Scissors relation to each other. Kung Lao died like a complete chump to Shao Khan and Shao Khan after that lost every significant fight he was a part of. This would just be a really good feat for Raiden and showing of his superiority, except in MKX we saw Raiden visibly struggling against fodder. Liu Kang is supposed to be superior to Kung Lao and Raiden killed him by accident. MK9 made it seem like the characters in the new timeline were going to be consistently powerful but then MKX came along and the Story Mode completely ruined any serious chance for decent feats or scaling for anyone except the absolute top-tiers.įreaking Raiden was getting visibly damaged by fodder demons, the big new ruler of Outworld was a complete loser who lost to the Kombat Kids, and the Kombat Kids all got fodderized by an holding-back Sub-Zero. Yeah, but Goro and Kintaro (and pretty much everyone) suck in the new timeline. No matter what you do and don't agree with, it will be interesting to see if Rowling's elaboration on past comments cools things off or add further fuel to the fire.But Kung Lao defeated Goro and Kintaro in new timeline. While the author ironically doesn't always choose her words carefully, any valid points she might have made are typically overshadowed by her being labelled anti-trans. There are plenty of people who agree with Rowling and while some Harry Potter cast members were quick to criticise her views, she's been defended by Ralph Fiennes, Evanna Lynch, and Helena Bonham Carter. "My position is that this activist’s movement, in the form that it’s currently taking, echoes the very thing that I was warning against in Harry Potter." "I believe absolutely that there is something dangerous about this movement and it must be challenged," she continued. ![]() I stand by every word that I wrote there, but the question is, What is the truth? And I’m arguing against people who are literally saying sex is a construct, it’s not real." And in fact, a ton of Potter fans were grateful that I’d said what I said. Rowling would add, "I have to tell you, a ton of Potter fans were still with me. "I can only say that I’ve thought about it deeply and hard and long and I’ve listened, I promise, to the other side." Time will tell whether I’ve got this wrong." "Personally, it has not been fun and I have been scared at times for my own safety and, overwhelmingly, for my family’s safety. "I absolutely knew that if I spoke out many people who would love my books would be deeply unhappy with me," she admits. The floodgates of hatred aimed at Rowling have since opened and she reflected on what that's been like. Since then, the writer has continued to express concerns about certain elements of the trans community, including the fact allowing men who identify as women to enter women's changing rooms and bathrooms is a slippery slope that could lead to disastrous outcomes. I was just keeping a rein on my own fury. Rowling podcast (via Variety), Rowling said she knows that was "like dropping a hand grenade into Twitter," adding: "Did I mean to drop a hand grenade in? No. It all began when she shared an article about "creating a more equal post-COVID-19 world for people who menstruate," admitting that it angered her to see women no longer being referred to as, well, women.
