  • In the US, it is illegal to possess or distribute child pornography, apparently because doing so will encourage people to sexually abuse children.

    This is absurd logic. Child pornography is not necessarily abuse. Even if it was, preventing the distribution or posession of the evidence won’t make the abuse go away. We don’t arrest everyone with videotapes of murders, or make it illegal for TV stations to show people being killed.

    I don’t know if that’s the reason CP is actually banned, but his logic is even worse and dumber by a mile.












  • No it doesn’t. It doesn’t do “Mortal Kombat” enough. Whenever the film is actually doing “what we all” wanted it to, it instead focuses on other shit that no one cares about (Cole) and finally just gives us like these little bursts of Mortal Kombat that should’ve been longer. And saying a character is one-dimensional is never a compliment. Characters can still be simple and still have just enough depth to matter. Cole is painfully one-dimensional and is constantly shoved in your face, only to have a tiny role at the end of the movie, which is dumb. Also, many of the series classic characters are just shoved into the background while, again, focusing on stuff that neither the GA or the MK fans care about. Then you have Raiden, who completely sucks in this movie and apparently had the power to banish anyone he wanted at any time, but doesn’t do anything to Shang Tsung earlier in the movie because…reasons.

    Netherrealm knew how to write these stories better and they should have more control over the story the same way CDPR had more control over the Cyberpunk anime story. The Mortal Kombat reboot is dogshit and people making excuses for it isn’t going to improve the sequel.
