Critical Miss: Mortal Kombat

[Yankeedoodles]

The physical aspect is easy. Tits are big bags of fat. They are heavy. They are mobile. It'd be like fighting with two weights attached to your nipples by strings. If Kitana tried to throw say... a hook in that outfit the centrifugal force of her massive norks would send her hurtling off the side of the arena like one of those pod racers from star wars.

Wow. The mental image that induced was simultaneously hilarious and disturbing. Funny comic by the way!

C) And its more appropriate to see a woman wear two strips on her chest than to see a man open shirted. Look at awards shows, or any place Lady Gaga goes.

Award shows are not, to my knowledge, brutal fights to the death that decide the fate of an entire universe. If they were I'd be more likely to tune in.

 

[Idlemessiah]

This comic is pretty much always win.

"Goro Caught"

WHAT IS THIS?! NEEDS MORE K!

Ahem, needs more Kowbell right?

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

I think I know what this magic force is that keeps the clothes on: Extra Strength Rip Block or ?ESRB?

The sheer will of this force keeps the clothing on.

You sir, made me laugh. It is a mighty force, this ESRB.

OT: This kinda explains the clothing in that game.

All of the fate of the universe stuff tends to happen behind the scenes! XD

That's a shame. I'd totally watch music award shows if Michael Buble freaked out and ripped James Blunt's spinal column out.

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

I think most of the "wishful thinking" being done is by male fans hoping that the clothing STOPS being held up. But seriously, is Outland entirely a sub-tropical climate or something?

Also, how does Shao Khan fit those glasses over his mask?

 

[mikespoff]

Awesome comic.

I've always wondered how those outfits stayed on

Even more so with the battle damage. Makes you wonder how the females aren't topless at the end of the fights. Everything is held on by the strongest strap ever made it seems.

I've always assumed it was some ancient pain-tolerance training ritual where the outfits get stapled into place.

I think I see an awesome indie game just waiting to be made...

"... held tenuously together by wishful thinking."

I just wanted to say that I love that that line.

I could say the same thing, but doubly so due to the fact that it also sums up my opinions on modern car manufacturing.

 

[Kurt Horsting]

Oh MK female ninjas. So much needlessly exposed, and all color coordinated.

 

[Ian Caronia]

Oh yeah! Fighting games, baby! Where the men must remain shirtless to heighten their power (also known as Dragon Ball Z syndrome) and/or be the most dapper lady killers ever known, and the women have skin-tight plastic "leather" outfits designed by the world's most sex starved minds, the masters and mistresses of all things bikini and full-body suit!

The magic with games like Mortal Kombat is that there's always an unwritten rule that the sexier the body, the stronger the character. Sure Goro and Kitaro are power houses, but who's the strongest Outworlder? Yep, and that guy wears an outfit that would make Conan blush!
And who's the strongest female character? Mileena (from what I've played, anyway), and she-

...Oh right, but her face is all... Yeeaah~

Anyway, great comic as usual. I always knew the skimpy outfits for the outworld women was because of his sexist ass! XD
Doesn't explain Sonya, though

 

[Grahav]

Hey, if people are being killed left and right we need to promote sex to repopulate.

 

[Lord_Gremlin]

Actually, it's kinda traditional in Mortal Kombat series: the stronger the character, the lesser he/she wears. For example, Blaze wears nothing at all.

Wait, have you SEEN Mileena's outfit?

 

[mikev7.0]

Okay I have to give it up for this one, that was *^&*(ing Hillarious!! I'm going to have to read all of these now. Seriously. Well Done!

 

[Scarlet Mongoose]

"... held tenuously together by wishful thinking."

Clearly the wishful thinking of the female fighters.
Because if they were being controlled by the wishful thinking of all the gamers in the world... well.... those strips of clothing would fly off at the speed of light.

 

[Chakanus]

No wonder Daddy Kahn prefers his daughter Mileena. Now SHE knows how to dress up for a party..err... Kombat tournament.
