MK1 critique: Titan Shang Tsung
When it comes to the MK storymode I feel like I'm the only one who personally doesn't have a problem with it. Such as, how it played out and ended.
I only have one complaint, and that is Titan Shang Tsung. It's not the fact that he's in the story because I love Shang Tsung, but it actually has to do with his physical appearance. I'm not talking about his face model. Our Shang (Liu Kang's timeline) is clearly quite young, like mid 20s, and we pick up on his immaturity quickly. Titan Shang Tsung in the last game looked like he was in his early 40s, probably because that's around the age Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa was when he played Shang Tsung in the 90s.
Tagawa was so great in his role that he reprised it for the game, and MK1 even imitated his vibes. Alan Lee does a great job as young Shang, when I first watched the intros and storymode I did a double take, but could tell there was something different.
What I'm getting at is, Titan Shang Tsung should've appeared a little different. At first I thought Titan Shang should have a pointier nose and maybe longer hair or something, but that would've taken away the point that Our Shang immediately saw himself. So instead, I think Titan Shang should've appeared older, maybe taller. Old enough to pass as Our Shang's father, but look similar enough that we can tell it's Titan Shang.
Alan Lee is great at Shang Tsung, but I think they could've at least done some kind of voice modulating thing that makes him sound more refined and mature, since Tagawa and Alan have a different pitch to their voices. I understand that each game has a different take on the characters when it comes to vibes and characterisation, but they felt too similar. Titan Shang felt like more of an evil twin brother rather than an older and much powerful version of self.
Our Shang feels like he was made for Gen Z, like come on he's a scam artist that's funny as hell, and bro is trying to do NFTs, he's so memeable. I'm pretty sure we all bumped into him in high school/secondary school at some point. MK11 Shang feels like that one person you're not sure whether or not you should trust, like a scary business man. That is the point of his aura, but you get what I mean. Our Shang seems like he is easy to irritate, MK11 Shang is so reserved and collected, when he does show irritation he appears like a King about to execute someone who just committed treason. When Our Shang kills someone it's like watching Amber as Ghostface, when she wasn't being loud and acting like the joker.
All I'm saying is, there should've been a completely different air Titan Shang carried, like Titan Kitana and our Kitana.
Edit: Why does Titan Shang have claws too? He wouldn't use them, he's already got his golden acrylic thingies. Our Shang stabbed Reiko like he walked out of a slasher flick, Titan Shang wouldn't do that.

Balls of Fury (2007)
Tumblr media
Movie #1,102 • WELL, HONG? CH. 6
Tumblr media
Written by The State’s Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant (and directed by the latter), the sixth film in my alphabetical run-through of the entire James Hong filmography was a pleasant surprise. A welcome palette cleanser after experiencing 33% of Vin Diesel’s Strays for sure. This came out at the height of the wacky, over-the-top comedy revival of the 00s and I remember being wholly uninterested at the time, unaware of its connection to The State.
Even its more cringey elements (Christopher Walken doing full-on Asian Face and some stilted homophobic bits) work given the sensibilities of that elite comic crew. It also features an A+ cast in both lead (Walken, George Lopez, etc.) and supporting roles (Hong, Robert Patrick, Aisha Tyler, Thomas Lennon, Diedrich Bader, Terry Crews, Patton Oswalt, David Koechner, etc.). Sure, it’s dumber than fuck, but the performances are solid and the action moves at a nice pace. If you like The State or Reno 911, chances are you’ll like this too.
And while Walken as the lead villain made up to look like a freakish Asian crime boss is culturally insensitive, this is still an insane and, dare I say, underrated entry in his esteemed career…
SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½
