Mortal Kombat 2011 and the Mortal Kombat Movie Look alikes

Image
Mortal Kombat 2011 apparently had some visual tributes to the MK films with namely... Liu Kang and Kitana look like Robin Shou and Talisa Soto. Sonya and Johnny Cage both look somewhat like Brigitte Wilson and Linden Ashbey Kano looks like Trevor Goddard.  The look started in Mortal Kombat vs. DC Comics. Shang Tsung looks like a bearded version of Cary Hiroyuki-Tagawa complete with the phrase, "Your soul is mine!"  Too bad, he wasn't the one who voiced the character. =P

How Megaman X6's Plot Should Have Been Written IMO

Image
I always thought Isoc being a Dr. Wily reference should have been the main villain, not Gate.  Isoc doesn't need to be Dr. Wily, maybe he can just be a robot who has Dr. Wily's brainwaves which makes him think he is Wily.  I would make Gate and Hi-Max the lesser antagonists working under Isoc.  The plan would be to further link Megaman X6 to Megaman X5.  That would mean that Hi-Max would be the first fortress boss, second is Gate and the third boss before Sigma is Isoc.  This of course, I would try to create some hints that Isoc is Wily before dismissing it. Isoc's scheme would involve Zero and the Nightmare Virus to taking over the world.  With Sigma supposedly out of the way, Isoc will try to take over.  He revives Zero as an evil menace which can only be recovered after Megaman X defeats him.  However recovering Zero will not stop him since he has other plans.  He decides to send Hi-Max and Gate after Megaman X.  He would sound lik...

Rito Revolto's Battle with the Ninja Megazord

Image
Rito Revolto in MMPR Season 3 was based on Junior/Gasha Dokuro (acted by Lucio Tan lookalike Kenichi Endo), he had one badass entrance where he not only baited out the Thunderzords but destroyed them.  It was something to consider he revived some Zyu2 monsters (it was getting repetitive) and he destroyed the Thunderzords.  While he was a numbskull but he had a badass entrance.  He showed he was a force to reckon with. MMPR Season 3 used the footage of Kakuranger episode 31.  What did not make sense was this.  Episode 31 was really the death of Gasha Dokuro.  The least the crew could do is to edit out the part where Gasha Dokuro exploded.  I mean, the whole scene made Rito Revolto look like he freaking died and then he survived?!  It doesn't make sense that he survived even after he exploded.  Again, Zaidos did survive the Heavenly Armor Chi Palace falling on him (which I think was a mistake too).  But still, Rito Revolto supposedly...

The Robocop/Janperson Cycle of Influence?

Image
Robocop was a 1987 film that later spawned a sequel in June 22, 1990 and in November 5, 1995.  Let's take a look at the possible circle of influence.  The Robocop movie was a popular hit and later, it spawned several series, cartoons and even Japanese inspired heroes. Toei in January 29, 1989 created a Robocop-like hero in Jiban.  Unlike Robocop, Jiban could revert to his human identity anytime even if he was a dead officer resurrected as a cyborg.  Also, Jiban fought monsters of the week which Robocop didn't do.  Jiban for me was not really much of a Robocop inspired hero. Janperson was Toei's more or less Robocop type show except that the hero was purely mechanical.  A lot of its elements such as violence, villains and characters were somewhat based on the first two Robocop movies.  I could start to think of the following parallelisms.  The show aired on February 1, 1993 and ended in January 24, 1994.  In between, Robocop 3 was also...

How Cable Could Have Later Been Dealt With

Image
I always thought it was crazy that Cable would later appear as a man, now twice older than his parents. He's now old enough to be his father's father... he's like his own grandpa. I think Cable would be around 50 years old if his adoptive son (and "nephew") was an adult. If the Askani Timeline got removed thanks to his actions, I think some things could have been prevented as well. So how would I write it? Now I thought the Askani Timeline was erased. Actually, the rules of time travel writing may vary and the conflict between the year 3,999 (Cable's native timeline after he was time-displaced) and the 21st Century had happened a lot. So what if with Apocalypse destroyed, countless "anomalies" would no longer exist. In short, any events done by Stryfe or any villain would be undone in the process. I would even remove the Legacy Virus from existence as a "reset button" since if the Askani never existed, Stryfe the clone would never exist...

Megaman X8: A Game Chock Full of Megaman Legends References!

Image
While playing Megaman X8 , I have noticed some things weird about the game. While Megaman Legends 3 got canned by Capcom, Megaman X 8 was really full of Megaman Legends references. Let's start, shall we? Although Megaman Legends is non-canonical to this game (or is it), there are still references to Megaman Legends . The story of Megaman X8 focuses on the Jakob's Ladder. The whole point was building the new ideal paradise. In Megaman Legends 2, we have the space colony called Elysium which is synonymous to Paradise. The idea of Paradise was being made one way or another.  The bosses sort of have some references to Megaman Legends 2.  My examples are: Gigavolt Man O War as a reference to the electric jellyfishes Bamboo Pandamonium would be a reference to Klaymoor Dark Mantis would be a reference to Bola Earthrock Trilobyte's operations would be like digging for Refractors Burn Rooster might be a reference to Glyde's cockiness. The navigators are your spotters. Roll C...

So Rick Medina Only Killed Out of Self-Defense?

Image
As much as I don't like the actor for turning out to be a douchebag but in due fairness, he killed only out of self-defense.  How he got that sword is unknown but it looked like his life was in danger.  Later on, he was discharged.  What I read is that he called 9/11 after he stabbed the person then turned himself in.  Lately, he was cleared of charges of cold-blooded murder as the incident looked like it was only self-defense.  Hopefully things will be cleared out.
