Although it's awesome seeing all the extra details you can't always make out from the side-on view, I'm glad Brutalities are how they are; I enjoy the suddenness of them and they're an unexpected visceral moment that ends the fight without warning.
However I do REALLY wish this was how fatalities looked. Less excessive, more simple, viscerally brutal; just a simple change of camera angle following by a monstrously violent finishing move. I do love how this camera hack makes them look like MK9 fatalities, which for me is how all fatalities should be presented rather than an overblown, ridiculous, cinematic cut-scene.
