Mortal Kombat 1 Doesn't SUCK - Chapter 6 : Ashrah

[@TheMasondwich]

Why couldn’t Christina Vee, who does the screams/grunts noises for Nitara, voice Nitara fully?!

[@stranger5011]

Because famous person is famous

[@coomslayer6996]

I agree. NRS made one of their worst decisions with casting Megan instead of the talented Christina for Nitara. Why is NRS making bad decisions and being so disappointing?

[@dulguunshallot1018]

[@Mecha-tron201]

Because we need big names for our games or people will think it’s trash

Cristina didn’t FULLY voice Nitara, because she was busy prepping for her role as Nerþuz in Fire Emblem Heroes. At least, that’s what I think.

In defense of celebrity casting Simmons and Cena were amazing while reprising their roles.

[@MusicoftheDamned]

Yeah, not all celebrities are bad at voice acting, and even a lot of the ones that are could possibly improve it. The real problems are that a) the decision tends to be made while also screwing over generally underpaid voice actors, b) the companies using them tend not to care about quality of the performancr or lack thereof, and c) so many people think voice acting is piss easy and thus think anyone can do it well, including the aforementioned companies.

[@ClericV]

Nothing wrong with celebrity casting since some actors can be great voice actors, but Megan clearly wasn't upto the task. They could have just used Cristina Vee since she was already doing the grunts or gotten Megan a VA trainer.

[@QuicklimeTime]

True. JK Simmons brings his A-game like he does in pretty much anything he does, and Cena is clearly having the time of his life reprising Peacemaker.

[@TheChildofAuraReborn]

Well I mean... we've heard Simmons play as Kai from Kung Fu Panda 3, even before voicing Nolan in Invincible and here. The guy knows EXACTLY how to voice act. People shit on Christ Pratt for the memes, but his only crime is that all his voices are the same (still don't understand people giving him hell for the Mario Movie when Seth Rogan was right fucking there), Chris at least knows how to fluctuate his voice and put in the right emotions at the right moments. Meghan Fox couldn't even do THAT for Nitara.

[@RoyalKnightVIII]

Biblically accurate Ashrah ftw

[@TheChildofAuraReborn]

I do like Ashrah’s design in MK1, it’s smart to make her look angelic to contrast the idea of what she actually is, plus she’s probably got the best design so far of the female kombatants. My criticism though is that while the outfits technically are all different from each other, something about all the female kombatants makes their outfits seem too same-y. Everything looks like it’s cut from the same cloth, or formatted the same way without any real unique accessories or garnishes to their outfits. The Midway outfits look WAY more unique. (Also damn I owe Ronda a HUGE fucking apology. She at least sounded like she was trying.)

Now, yes, you get to choose between the entire cast to play the final chapter but those are keepers of time throughout other timelines, not *our* Syzoth, Baraka & Ashura.

[@jcmahrt5100]

I think its more of a case that the Vaeternians' ancestors as I believe Nitara's bio said, were the ones to choose it, but the ones born after were basically the ones given without a choice, so it is still tragic as every Vaeternian born thereafter is basically cursed to live in that state of existence without any way to realistically reverse it.

Rain said it best: Vampires are immortal AND they can procreate. Nitara can easily have been born after the early Vaternians made the choice to convert to vampirism. Those ancestors’ decisions could have cemented the fate of their children before they were even conceived. That could be a decent way to steer Nitara back on track, especially since it wouldn’t be the first time the way a race works was misunderstood. Remember the Tarkatans? That’s apparently a disease, and I can’t imagine Liu Kang making the conscious choice to retcon it that way. It must have been the whole time, but not one Outworlder, not even Onaga, took notice.

She was fired whenshe post a complain on her deleted twitter post and called out ed boon and the crew including protesting and going on strike. but she spread hate on nrs and ed boon after mkx was finished. She refuses to return as mileena and kitana but she did left some fight grunts to voiced khameleon but she is being uncredited.

[@artisticsolarninja]

Cristina did her fight grunts and bat screeches and not fox because she is lazy to scream or did not want her voiced cracked as an excused. Because she is a diva and an awful person/actress who do not know who to read or voiced properly. The only good ones are john cena, keith david, mark hamill, daniel dae kim, idris elba, jack black, rebecca romijn, kelly hu and ryan Reynolds etc. Ed boon is Cheapie the cheapskate. He refuses to credit cris vee as nitara nor never want her to cast as nitara.

I think one way to bring this conflict back (if Ed Boon decides to bring them back in MK13) would be that there was more Titan Shang Tsung mischief that happened off screen in MK1, the evil kriss was brought by him (like Shinnok’s amulet in chapter 12), and Ashrah goes berserk at some point in the story, and Nitara turns good and gets a chapter to try and stop her Idk.
