[@SunSheepOfLight]

Having 4 Arms is a good benefit in a fight.

[@salil7174]

I thought the reason goro and most shokans had four arms was because dragons have 6 limbs. Two arms two legs and a pair of wings which are really modified arms. But what is up with kintaro? Is he half human half dragon and some tiger or something?

[@franktruth9639]

Goro doesn't even look like a dragon to me, he looks like a 4 armed simian.

[@salil7174]

@@franktruth9639 when you genetically modify...you select specific parts of the DNA that triggers things to happen or not to happen. For example...you can take just the part of the DNA of a spider that triggers the production of silk. So an animal can produce JUST SILK without growing an extra pair of legs or 10 eye balls. They probably did the same with Goro. They just took the DNA part that triggers the growth of extra limbs. Since dragons traditionally have 3 pairs of limbs instead of 2 that humanoid have.

[@commentcopbadge6665]

You know how they can make a MK film franchise or series successful? First and foremost they must take the chance. Then they should slowly set up each character with multiple films. Not like the MCU where each main character recieves their own film but using Sin City's format. Each film should be three small films where they introduce 3 main characters. Maybe each film always contains the intro/backstory of an earthrealmer, an outworlder and a god/demi-god/elemental. For example, Johnny Cage, Kitana and Raiden for the first film. I say a movie comes out every 8-10 months so after 2 and a half to 3 years or so 9-12 main characters have been introduced then you can have an epic trilogy to cap it off. All in all a 10 year project. Yeah it's ambitious but so was the MCU.

[@Dakingalbert2]

Liu kang u need liu kang for anything to work he gotta be in the 1st 3 johnny can come in later liu kang raiden and kitana are the 3 characters everything starts from Liu kang - having him as a main starter introduces johnny,jax,sonya n the gang he wins the 1st 2 mk tournaments beating shang and shao kahn like the previous movies Kitana- introduces shao kahn sindel and edenia and how outworld became so powerful plus we can get a glimpse of onaga the dragon king and more backstory on shao Raiden - introduces the Other Gods and the full history of the mk universe and also how he himself became a God we also can get more in depth about the One being who till this day is still a mystery we just know he is the true God of the mk verse

Sheeva's problem is she needs a more interesting play style I feel she should have fight like Bane mixed with R. Mika.

[@salil7174]

He is also very merciless. Declining to kill goro even though goro begged for him to kill him after kotal cut off all 4 of his arms. That was dishonorable to goro. So a mercy that acted more like the opposite in the eyes of a shokan. Kotal also defeated kintaro and was going to do the same and not kill him as kintaro requested. Instead he talked kintaro into joining his cause. Kotal is a freakin badass mastermind. Didn't he kill goro's father with a slap? Edit: oh NVM didn't finish the video. So yes dude cut off goro's arms and clapped his father's head off.

[@corpsedesecrator2612]

I think the problem with Sheeva was that when people seen Shokans Goro and Kintaro being big OP boss kharacters and Sheeva was rather a balanced type common kharacter along with Motaro towering over her in MK3 in terms of power and Boss status didn’t go so well for Sheeva. Now I’m not sure what the canon was for MK3 as far as Motaro’s fate some say Sheeva’s MK3 ending was canon the sneak attacking him off guard that or Liu Kang beat him prior to fighting Shao Kahn the second time and defeating him too. If Sheeva’s ending was canon that’s actually a big win granted she had to do a sneak attack ambush because no way she can take Motaro head on she’d get washed easily since he is said to be over Goro and Kintaro whom are more powerful than Sheeva. I’d say Goro is my favorite Shokan its a shame he’s downplayed in the new timeline along with Kintaro, typical as it is Sheeva is my least favorite so order from fav to least fav is Goro, King Gorbak, Grum, Kintaro, Sheeva.
