Hoo boy.. Jax's ending in MK11 is quite something (spoilers)

[Uzumaki Goku]

It's presumably non-canon anyway, but let's just say that... it's sparking quite the debate because in his ending... Jax... well... see for yourself.



Yep, Jax basically makes it so slavery never exists. ...hoo boy, is this right? Did they make the right call? I'm honestly terrified of the response, but it needs to be addressed. What should Netherrealm do about this?

Me personally. I don't mind the ending. It ties in what Jax is about: "Duty". All the endings tie in with that character's theme.

 

[sambills]

that image of jax at the end is objectively hilarious lmfao. what a ridiculous concept for an ending. Mortal kombat solved slavery

 

[Jamrock User]

he did the right thing.

 

[RecRoulette]

That ending rules

 

[Kamenjojo]

I love this ending so much. It's great, I don't see the issue.

 

[ILikeFeet]

what's the problem here?

the only people who'll have a problem with this are racists

 

[Billfisto]

Good on them. It's a perfectly sensible thing for a person to do should they have access to time travel.

Also, it seems to be angering nothing but idiots. Case in point:

 

[Cordy]

This is the only spoiler I've seen for MK11 and shit, glad I saw it.

Jax has the best ending in MK history. Love this fucking man. Gonna be the first classic tower I beat.

 

[Dio]

id love to see what kind of debate this is sparking, op. seems pretty fine to me.

 

[Nemesis121]

The ending is great...Jax made the right choice..

 

[Phantom]

If I'm against this ending, does that mean I'm pro slavery?

Oh thank goodness.

sparking controversy

[Slayven]

What the problem is?

 

[Smash-It Stan]

That art needs some work and it seems to be overly cheesy but the message and sentiment I like.

"Knock it out of the park"(crack of a bat hitting a baseball sfx in the background) I couldnt help but laugh at that

 

[Brass Body Dave]

Why would anyone think this is controversial

If you can make it so slavery didn't happen then yes, good

 

[xxracerxx]

Where's the controversy? That ending is rad.

 

[Klyka]

Literally makes the world a better place for everyone.
"Controversy".

Like, how?
This paints Jax as a legit amazing guy.

 

[Moltres006]

The usual. 4chan, reddit and gamefaqs.

 

[Deleted member 4072]

Isn't this a good thing? Slavery was horrible, having it not happen can't be anything but good or am I missing something?

 

[Deleted member 11370]

I love the ending. It's like going back in time to kill Hitler: some thing in history are objectively wrong. If you had the power to undo those terrible things, you fucking should. The only people who can oppose it are those who support the thing in the first place, i.e. racists.

And fuck racists and nazis.

 

[Bookkoo]

Nice try OP

You should see it. Oh boy, this is just gonna cause the alt right idiots to attack the game.

 

[Malcolm9]

It's a really nice ending, nothing to see here.

 

[funky]

Yeah... gonna need to know who is mad at this.

Bingo.

 

[SolidSnakex]

You should see it. Oh boy, this is just gonna cause the alt right idiots to attack the game.

They already are since NRS have come out and been vocal about the new direction they've taken when handling female characters.

 

[ILikeFeet]

You should see it. Oh boy, this is just gonna cause the alt right idiots to attack the game.

Click to shrink...

they were already doing that when Netherrealm changed the female characters' costumes. fuck em

 

[DrArchon]

You should see it. Oh boy, this is just gonna cause the alt right idiots to attack the game.

Click to shrink...

They were already attacking the game for the women not being stripper sex dolls anymore.

Why should we care what they think?

 

[jelly]

That's cool.

 

[Spaltazar]

I always appreciate it when developers go wild. more power to them

 

[Slayven]

You should see it. Oh boy, this is just gonna cause the alt right idiots to attack the game.

I saw it then posted that. Again whats the problem?

They've been attacking the series for a while.

Yall remember the Kung Jin comments.

 

[aspiegamer]

A bit of the monologue is too cheesy for my tastes, but, uh, I don't see the problem?

Oh boy, this is just gonna cause the alt right idiots to attack the game.

This seems like a reason to compliment the ending if nothing else.

 

[AgentChris]

Slavery was and is bad. Good job Jax.

 

[Deleted member 51691]

I mean, isn't that a perfectly reasonable thing to do with the power of time travel? I don't see much of a controversy except among slavery-supporting racists

 

[Booki]

"I'm not waiting centuries for people to get woke."

I'm okay with this. Jax risked it all and it paid off.

 

[The Bookerman]

I bet I'll see many twitter posts calling Netherrealm studios SJW's...

Idiots.

 

[Deleted member 16876]

I don't see anything wrong with this ending honestly. Then again I am not the one to judge so I will leave it to people who can.

 

[sph3re]

You should see it. Oh boy, this is just gonna cause the alt right idiots to attack the game.

Heaven forbid the alt-right get upset at something.

 

[The Pharmercy]

I fail to see the problem.
I'm more impressed they didn't do a white savior thing, tbh.
OP, are you trying to manufacture something?

excuse me uh what

 

[SMD]

very controversial, it didn't consider both sides

 

[smurfx]

i like that ending. i don't give a shit if some right wing idiots get mad at it.

 

[Charamiwa]

"You can have everything, you just need to dream bigger". Remind me to never take Jax life lessons seriously.

Other than that, the ending is fine, I don't see problems with it.

Click to shrink...

They made the right call. Why does it need to be addressed? Netherrealm don't need to do anything because nothing is wrong. It's a fantastic ending. Anyone who has an issue with that needs to take a look at themselves.

Why do you have a problem with it OP?

 

[Uzumaki Goku]

I fail to see the problem.

All I saw was "It's being attacked on YouTube and Twitter" and I'm like ...."why?"

 

[fakeronjan]

I loved it. Thanks for sharing it.

 

[Deleted member 36578]

There's nothing controversial about this.

 

[Deleted member 3010]

I mean, if you could control time, one good thing to do would be to travel back to stop attrocities from happening.

Fuck space-time continuum.
