Can we talk about Icon’s cape?

I mean

What the hell

Even is this.

Raquel designed this.  Raquel designed his costume with a long ass cape.  Raquel designed their costumes and gave him something that’ll probably lead to him getting killed.  They aren’t even pretty costumes, as Flashback so kindly informed her.

You know who needs to design Icon and Rocket’s costumes?

Edna.

To be 100% fair, Icon oftentimes uses his cape as a weapon or a distraction.

One of the most interesting things about Arnus and his relationship to the Cooperative is how the Cooperative doesn’t really have a concept of death anymore because on the rare occasion an accident happens and someone dies, they just clone the person. 

And this mostly works as long as the person really is dead and the clone has all of their memories up and until their death, but when Arnus comes back, having lived two hundred+ years on Earth as a slave, then a lawyer, then a superhero. Having to watch loved ones die of abuse and disease and old age in a way he’d never experienced before. He is changed. And all the people he knew back then don’t understand.

The Cooperative isn’t an outright dystopia, but there is something messed up with how, instead of learning healthy ways to cope with death, they replace people with clones and pretend it’s the same as the person they lost. So I think regardless of the circumstances of Arnus’s homecoming, he always would have gone back to Earth.

To be completely fair, it isn’t clear if it is always one every time someone dies. Arnus’ ship was attacked by Oblivion. The Cooperative searched for him for a couple decades before they presumed he was deceased. It certainly wasn’t a natural death by any means. And considering that Arnus was one of the Cooperative’s most celebrated mediators, I think it is fair to assume he would have wanted to continue life after he was attacked while trying to go to a vacation planet, if my memory is correct.

Y’all ever think about how the fire Nightwolf controls through his axe is technically hotter than Scorpion’s and Liu Kang’s because it burns blue, and blue fire is literally hotter than orange/red fire?

I don’t think it matters much when both are created by magic. 😅

How much Respect Women Juice do our male combatants drink?

I feel like Kano should be a couple tiers below even the bottom, to keep it real.

I feel like blade definitely carries a clear flask filled with a red beverage just to fuck with people. Like he’ll fill it with cranberry juice and walks into a team up meeting like “sup?” and takes a sip to like assert dominance or whatever. And everyone present has to do like a double take. And if someone is like “is that what i think it is?” Blade just makes eye contact and takes another sip.

…

Shit. I can’t believe I never thought of this. As a Blade fan, I feel dumb.
