I'm sure most you have seen the new "Fatality Friday" trailer over at GameTrailers and are probably wondering, "wtf is up with the heroic brutality and what happened to the glowing eyes", well here is what I think.

I think that every "heroic" DC character has two types of brutalities; a light/good one ("Heroic Brutality"), and a dark/evil one in which their eyes glow possessively.

And that's it, small but to the point.

It kind of makes sense, doesn't it?

Dude you make a lot of sense... Except Green Lantern crack every bone in the opponents body and that doesn't seem very heroic

I like the sound of that, hope it works out that way, would be cool.

Dunno why they would just add heroic to it unless DC said we need to make sure the fans understand that they arnt actually killing them and its all in good faith. who knowsconfused

I can't see how crushing every bone in a man's body can be done in good faith.

But yeah in my opinion it was just DC trying to make sure no DC Hero is seen as even slightly evil.

HEROIC Brutality is really dumb. Just Brutality would have done.

It makes sense, but I don't think that's the case. When we saw Scorpion and Joker's old Fatalities, their eyes both glowed. However, during Raiden's, his eyes did not glow. Also, as a lot of people have said, Green Lantern crushing someone into a mushy mass isn't exactly a restrained action.

I think that this is less complicated than a lot of people think. Lots of people, myself included, thought that the glowing eyes animation looked embarrassingly bad. As a result, the glowing eyes were removed. Granted, I don't know any more than anyone else, but that's my guess.

that is a good idea I hope that will come but the prob is that all the fatalitys and brutalitys are crap because it is a T-rated game!

When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yes sir, the check is in the mail."

"Heroic Brutality." Wow, isn't that just paradoxical? HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Jack Burton would have asked whether that even existed before this game, but now they do...

And THAT'S what Jack Burton has to say at this time.
