I remember back in the day there was a lot of backlash to MKA. Maybe I'm just misremembering, but I could not find it for the life of me. I swear I saw a video of "worst fighting games ever" and MKA was on there, but I could not find it. So yeah... I settled for Game Spot. Incredibly reliable source, I know lol. Also, I said that it directly lead to the downfall of the studio because MK was there only profitable franchise. As soon as people start to criticize the only franchise that is making you money, that's when you know its over. Maybe I'm just being naive about it, but those were my thoughts on that. I know that they were taking losses on everything else at the time and that's why they were in the red, but the cash cow getting milked dry seemed like enough of a killer to point out. Anyway, thank you for commenting. Its always nice hearing from people who are way more informed than myself.

I mean, There's plenty of Fatality Animations they could've reused from Deadly Alliance and Deception for characters already present in those games.

I totally agree, I only hate on them because their designs don't fit with the rest of the cast. I admit, I dont know much about Hsu Hao, but Drahmin for sure I can see being a cool character if he had a better design.

Everyone hates hsu hao because the one that director didn't like him and they keep saying he's a kano rip-off even though we had jarek and two they're totally different characters

@mikemccauley7706 I must've missed that part of the discourse. I always just thought he looked goofy. I can see people calling him a Kano rip-off with the lasers and cybernetics and what-not, but I certainly don't think that. Plenty of characters can also fit that description, and that definitely doesn't make them a rip-off.

@@SaltySoupStudios in later game Kano is rip off hsu hao

While that's true. Since MK was Midway's cash cow, I think that the downfall in the quality of the games had to have SOME profound effect on the downfall of the studio, even if the games were financially successful.

You and me both man, Deception was great and probably had the best story of all the games

@@SaltySoupStudios right 😁

When you think about, no it doesn't. But for the story to happen in the reboot he needed to. MK9 had a great story, but that Armageddon retcon never sat well with me.

Well then you have experienced peak my friend.

Ah yes, the good ol days. I was always more of a Puzzle Kombat guy from Deception, but all of the side modes in these games were just so fun and had so much heart. Live them to pieces.

I dont think it will be the next vid, but it is definitely on radar (mostly because I lost my old copy years ago and am too broke to buy a new one). Regardless I hope you enjoyed the vid, and I hope you enjoy whatever I make next.

@@starpyre1353 Honestly that is a really interesting idea. It would've made the continuity between Deception and Armageddon much more seamless. The 3d games are already a domino effect with its stories leading into each other, making it so they introduce the Daegon as a central villain and as an angry God would've been a nice spin (even though the Onaga reveal is still amazing to this day). I wonder how they would've continued the story from there.

I just realized I messed up this response since I thought you were talking about Deception and not MK1 (dont know why I thought that). But I still think this is an interesting idea since Lui Kang would've never met Taven or Daegon so he wouldn't have known to erase them from the timeline. Anything to remove the stupid multiverse shenanigans. Sorry for my misunderstanding, have a nice day.

And I think we need another Deadly Alliance, Deception and Armageddon They are great wrap ups to what I see

I would love nothing more than to have them playable on modern consoles at the very least. I'm happy we got the reboot, but those 3D games just a had a feel to them that they haven't been able to recapture in the new games. Armageddon had its issues but it is certainly peak

​@@SaltySoupStudios Yeah Without Midway from here the games wouldn't get that return To mention too The game feels slow Yet the 3D games or Mortal Kombat let you combo like no tomorrow to a point it does not feel slow if you do them and it is interesting to feel on

Oh yeah I've seen the crazy things people have pulled off in these games, so the slow feel may just be a skill issue on my part. No matter what though the games feel great to play and are just incredibly fun. They really don't make em like they used to.

Maybe one day. A boy can dream....

No, I hope they don't.

Thank you, I really appreciate it. I love making videos on the things I feel passionate about. Hope you enjoyed the video, and I hope you have a fantastic day.

Thank you so much for your kind words!! I hope you enjoy whats to come.

It is definitely on my list but I have some other projects I want to focus on in the meantime. So maybe not in the immediate future, but I won't say no to doing more. I hope you enjoyed my video regardless, and I hope I can continue to make content that you will enjoy.

Understandable, have a nice day!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your support!

Indeed

Is it And Then There Were None? I haven’t read it.

@@thomasffrench3639 Yes. I've seen several film versions of that book, and I much prefer Friday the 13th.

I have never heard of this author or book. I looked it up and it sounds interesting so I might have to look into it. Also, I didn't mean anything negative by calling it a rip-off of Halloween, just brought it up for comparison and historical purposes. I'm just giving my perspective of the information I was given, and I never found any evidence to the contrary. Maybe he did make it, who knows. I was just using a direct quote from the writer as an excuse to make comparisons.

@@SaltySoupStudios Oh, I meant no offense to you, personally....Cunningham has been saying this stuff for years. He gets on my nerves with all his disclaimers. It's as if he is ashamed of having made a slasher movie, so he just claims he ripped off Halloween for a quick buck. But anybody who looks carefully at this film can see that he made it with great care and very deliberately. His words always strike me as disingenuous.

@@SaltySoupStudios yeah I feel kinda bad for calling you out over it. It being a Halloween rip off is sort of true, but it feels so different for many reasons. It is probably more to do with the fact that the people working on the movie had influences from other movies aside from Friday the 13th instead of Sean S Cunningham and Victor Miller who is responsible for making it feel different, although making the mom the killer was actually a very smart move. Another big reason for it feeling different is that Halloween is one of the best crafted B-movies of all time, and Sean could not reach that level of filmmaking, so it just feels different because he’s not as competent. I think if anything, this movie really exemplifies the idea that film is a collaboration, because what makes the original film good is mostly due to Betsy Palmer, Harry Manferdini and Tom Savini, none of which are the director or writer who usually get the credit for a film being good. Although I think that this story does have potential to be great, which is interesting because the Crystal show’s season 1 was supposed to be a remake of this movie, which I would love to see improved.

I think that calling it a ripoff was a bit meanspirited, but given the initial intent of the movie and the comparisons I was trying to make it felt appropriate. I do agree these are very different movies, and Friday is extremely influential (even though I feel that was almost entirely accidental). I will also say you made a very good point saying that this is one of the few franchises that is not defined by a single movie. I will keep your recommendations in mind if I ever cover the later movies or something similar (I am already considering covering Part 2). I appreciate your comments and criticism and I hope that I can continue to make content that you would enjoy.

@@SaltySoupStudios I think it’s like Star Wars where it takes a well regarded formula but makes the movie have a distinct feel. Also it’s low quality while also being a box office success probably instilled confidence that a movie doesn’t need to be good to be successful so a lot of filmmakers who were scared to start making a movie were inspired to make “something better.” It also made gore a forefront of horror marketing which was not really mainstream until this movie. If you look at mainstream 70s horror films they were not sold on the violence, but 80s horror films were. I can totally see why in the context of 1980 it can be seen as a rip off, but looking back retrospectively, it isn’t just for how the subgenre has evolved. Yeah the sequels are actually pretty decent and some are great. I think it’s better than most horror franchises and contains some of the defining films of the slasher subgenre parts 1-4 and 6 that are influential in their own right (specifically parts 1, 2, and 6). My favorites are basically Star Trek with 2-4-6 being my favorites. And if you like these movies, there’s other good slasher movies from the early 80s, especially the ones with Tom Savini that you should check out. Also have you seen the original Halloween?

Psycho was 1960.

@@TheVidkid67 I know, I just didn’t feel like saying 60s and 70s. But maybe I should have.

First off, I wanna say that I'm glad you enjoyed the video, I worked really hard to make it as entertaining as well as (hopefully) informative. Secondly, while I was not the biggest fan of the killer's reveal, I can see why many people are. I think you hit the nail on the head with how it could work for so many Friday fans. Maybe it was my own fault for expecting a compelling mystery when that was clearly not anybody's intentions. Despite this, the movie is still very interesting and it has a lot of charm to it. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment.

@@SaltySoupStudios I think the reason why the reveal worked in this movie is more due to a meta reason: Betsy Palmer was a well known name in 1980. So when people see her they notice the actress, which makes it surprising when she's actually the killer. It seems like it doesn't work on a modern audience Although I could be completely wrong. I've heard many people mention that when they saw it back in the day they had relief as Betsy Palmer was a sweetheart, and it surprised after the reveal. But they could be lying.

I mean Part 6 had someone say “Happy Friday the 13th”
