one winner here.

You know, it's not winner take all.

It's not zero sum.

I think probably a lot of people who like a Mortal Kombat movie would like a Street Fighter film.

Like, I'll be seeing both.

I'll be discussing and podcasting about both.

And Street Fighter looks good, too.

Like, it looks just delightfully unhinged and the cast is just incredible.

People just torn from every realm of entertainment, really.

Much like, you know, recruiting characters for Mortal Kombat and you pick these people.

It's like...

this is who you cast, but there's sort of a demented genius to it, I think.

So, you know, they all came out at the Game Awards and they all seem like maybe they were on something potentially, but they were having a fun time.

And I anticipate having a fun time too.

So I'm hoping that they're both good.

I'm hoping that there isn't, you know, one that's clearly better, but that these both get established as viable franchises again.

Is this specifically for a fighting movie with combat?

There needs to be some actual bad blood or edge or tension?

Depending on how much CGI there is, you might not have ever physically been in the same location.

Might not at all.
