I was 12 when MK first debuted back in '92. It was so provocative, violent, and extreme that it caught national headlines simply because you could kill your opponent. It shocked parents and politicians alike into a moral outrage over what is and what should never be.
Over the years, Fatalitys have grown up with us and have become more violent. For example, Quan Chi's leg rip beat down to Kung Lao's hat saw, but it's not shocking. We've come to expect it. I want NRS and MK to shock us. Destroy the public's mind and send the morally correct off of a fucking cliff.
That's why I propose to bring Jesus Christ into the mix as a guest character. Fuck Kratos, Freddy, Jason, etc etc. If we're gonna bring someone into our game it has to blow people's fucking minds.
Think of it like this, Jesus Christ, Earthrealm defender, Crucifies his opponent at the sound of "FINISH HIM". Since we have different variations of each fighter, this version of Christ should play as a rush down fighter. Make him OP as fuck similar to a mix of Cage/Kabal up close. Inadvertently, creating a hatred for Jesus from the gaming community, just for the lulz!
The 2nd variation of Jesus should be a #merica Jesus. We'll make this Jesus a zoner primarily armed with an assault rifle. His robe will be red, white, and blue with "Don't tread on me" placed on his chest. A damage boost by drinking a 32f cup of kool aid. He'll have unique "Friendships" such as healing Kenshi's eyes and building an Ark for Shujinko. But if you really want to turn the world upside down, add Mohammed and give him some bomb traps.
I look forward to MKX and to stop being such a lurker on TYM upon its arrival.
