Movies you thought that were going to be awesome but ended up being AWFUL

The fact that "DOA: Dead Or Alive" was equally "limited" and yet still somehow made out for a much better movie - while in itself still kinda being junk, albeit Faithful and Respectful To The Video Game Junk - sort of makes it a moot point.

No forgiveness for the lack of Hitomi, though. That's my guuuuuuurrrrrrrl, dawg.

Otherwise, yeah, "DOA" > "MK: Annihilation", all day. Which really speaks quite poorly of the latter. For one thing, MK:A has a noticeable and unforgivable lack of Kevin Nash, while DOA has an entire scene where Kevin Nash's character thinks he's just walked in on his hot "daughter" - played by the incomparable Jamie Pressley - having lesbian sex, and tries to have a conversation with her about it. Comedy!

See, THAT's how you make an entertaining "This movie's a piece of sh*t but whatever, let's go for it" kinda movie. You don't take Shao Khan's mask off. You CAN, occasionally, give Kevin Nash terrible hair extensions. But only because his personality overshadows it. Nash!

Two movies based on fighting games. One of them has Flea Market Raiden, the other has Super-Shredder doing bad Hulk Hogan cosplay. I think we know who the winner is THERE.

I will say, you are the Very First Person who I've ever seen try and defend MK:A. So I applaud you for being a trailblazer. I don't think I want to subscribe to your newsletter, but it's obvious that Consensus doesn't concern you, and I suppose that is commendable.
