MORTAL KOMBAT 12 BANALITIES UPDATE
14 September Update - Checked for the latest Mortal Kombat 12 news. Personally, we think Mortal Kombat 12 is up next, and for everything you need to know about that next game in the series, read on. There have also been rumblings of a potential Marvel fighting game too, and given the way that Marvel Games working with studios for new IP’s in the past few years, it wouldn’t be the most outlandish idea. History would tell us that the studio’s next game would/should be Injustice 3, but in the midst of the Warner Bros Discovery merger, and the vagueries that come from licensing around DC superhero characters, that looks far less likely. We know that the studio has been working on a new project ever since July 2021, when the developers announced they were ending support for Mortal Kombat 11 in order to focus on “its next project”. Maybe that’s what we are to take away from his story.Is NetherRealm Studios working on Mortal Kombat 12? That seems to be one of the big questions swirling around the fighting game community right now. Maybe we all need to “bailar con la muerte” (dance with death) in order to really feel alive…who knows. Perhaps Barrera is who we wish we could be when we think of bravery and the beauty/brutality of humanity. Maybe we learn all we need to in those mere minutes and the gnawing for more knowledge of Barrera comes not for our own edification for information about the man but the need, nay, the desire to test ourselves against the death that Barrera sought for himself. Will he fade away into the ether of normal banality or find the kind of resolve in himself that was once reserved for the storied rings of Seville, Spain?Ĭan a man so closely marked both in flesh and spirit ever really leave the dance behind?Īs a documentary, Gored, gives you an idea of who Barrera is, allows you a taste of the psychology behind a bullfighter’s life, but its running time of 75 minutes feels too short to really give you an understanding of the man and what the future holds for him.īut perhaps that is well and good in the end. The journey of Barrera as a Matador is a complex one (especially if you are an animal lover and grew up outside the culture of bullfighting) and the end of his career, this giving up of what makes him whole, is difficult to watch, heartbreaking even and you are left to wonder how a man can live without the very thing that binds him to the world. Harsh as life itself, cruel even, but you can’t help but stand in awe of both Barrera and Bull. It is both brutal and beautiful to witness. The dance between Matador and bull is a violent ballet that ends when the beast (which can be man or animal depending on your perspective) is finally brought to his knees via sword or horn.įor Barrera, this dance has more often ended in his body being ripped apart (a prospect that would keep most bullfighters from re-entering the sport after the first time a horn gores the flesh), but even having tubes shoved down his throat to keep him breathing isn’t enough to stop him from going back into the ring to finish a fight no, Barrera simply rips out the tubes, hobbles in front of the bull and confronts, not an animal, but the physical symbol of death itself and completes the “tercio de muerte” (part of death) where the sword will kill the bull swiftly, in honor of its fight. Gored is the story of Antonio Barrera, the “Most Gored Bullfighter” in the world, a title that has more psychological implications than actual physical ones if you can believe that.Īfter being stabbed in the body 23 times by bulls (once so severe that he actually died for a few minutes), Barrera is facing his final fight in the ring, not so much by choice but for the love of his family.Ī love, that in all honesty, pales to his need to be spiritually bonded to both animal and the prospect of death.
