Why Mk vs Dc Works and Mk vs Marvel wouldn't work
|
First off I think alot of people are confused about a very well known fact between the DC universe and the Marvel Universe...
First of all DC Universe heros and villians... AREN'T MUTANTS.. While most of the Marvel Characters are... Batman is a human with a huge amount of wealth..Superman is an Alien, and so on... Mostly the two things MK and DC have in common most of all... is that the characters Where given there powers by some Alien force or built it up of Tech stuff they used and built... Also the idea of Magic.. was used In the DC Universe and MK Universe..but almost is never once been used in the Marvel Universe... they were either Mutants or they weren't...
Now everyone who actually knows the story of mortal kombat can tell you that Liu kang, Sonya and Cage were all characters that didn't have there speical powers till after they entered the tournament... the only one who did have powers before the tournament was Sub-zero and his brother Noob/Sub zero..."or however you spell it.. you get the point" even then those powers were passed as a family trate.. no one else in that clan had the ability to freeze but that family source... and even then I am not 100% sure Sub-zero's orgins weren't from outworld "Alien"... point being the universes have that much in common.. Aliens, Magic and Normal human beings Learning New abilitys... NOT Mutants..

Who cares if Marvel has mutants?! It still would be an awesome crossover! They aren't as common as you might think as well. DC has its share of obscure things as well.

I know that you're wrong in Cage's case.
He entered the MK tournaments to prove that his Shadow Kick, Shadow Ball, etc. were real, and not effects added to his movies.
Sub-Zero, Sub-Zero the Younger and Frost are all distantly descended from the Outworld race of Cryomancers, the origin of their thermal powers.

of course both sides have obsucre things.. both have characters from heaven and hell and whatever other Religious concepts the universe have... Mutants...WHICH AREN'T LIMITED TO JUST THE XMEN... was a huge Deal in the Marvel Universe..it was a problem with that concept of earth.. much like Race fear and so on... But the point I am making is that DC universe is based on a more MK related Universe..

Yea, there are PLENTY of marvel characters who aren't mutants. In fact, another user here has posted (a few times) why Marvel sucks because MOST of their characters got their powers through science/accidents and not "natural" causes. (mutants are natural)
Honestly, you are both wrong. There are plenty of characters in the Marvel universe that fall into either of those categories.
Also, people are saying that DC is more mature, or that Marvel is more mature and one or the other wouldn't fit in MK because of this.
FYI, The level of violence and adult content in Marvel is just as high as DC. Sure there are some ridiculous characters and stories that are childish, but you can find plenty of that in DC as well. I am not bashing DC comics in any way. I have just as much love for both. But some people here are seriously misinformed!
If you think Marvel would have been a better crossover, I might agree with you for the simple fact that I find most Marvel characters to be more interesting OVER ALL but you have to give props to DC for some amazing characters as well.
On the other hand, it's about time we see a good DC fighting game. So I'm kinda torn here. I just wanted to clear up any misunderstandings.

How is DC based on a more MK related universe? Honestly, they are both completely separate from MK. Neither one really "fit" like people are saying. What's the difference here? Just because Marvel has a lot of Mutants? How does that make any sense?

I just can't beleive that you said anything about Batman being a wealthy man so he built his suit when it has been less than 4 months since the Iron Man movie came out..Which is also Marvel.

he was just trying to play the "smart guy" by making this thread! WHO CARES if marvel or DC fits the MK universe better? This is your opinion Kabal610! If someone is a big fan of marvel they would say "Oh marvel vs MK would be much better!"! MK universe is totally different from marvel and dc! MK stands on its own! Don't create threads like this one guys! They're starting to screw the forum ok?

I suppose its only fair that this thread went the way it did seeing as how i didn't explain my points... and really right now I am not in the mood to so do .. but i will give this much and you can take it how you want to take.. The Characters in Mortal kombat and the Characters in DC can easily be compared to one another.. Hell most of you people are doing it now and complaining about it... You can take any character in the DC Universe and put him to a equal match with a character from the MK universe...

Is it me, or does your post kind of contradict, and prove why MK VS Marvel Would work...
Anyhow, I'm happy with what I get.
