It's not Mightwolf it's Nightwolf!!!!
I agree if he is in a future MK he should have a scalping fatality.

Besides, he's not very original tough. An Indian in an oriental fighting
tournament (at least that is what it should be) ???
His tomahawks are way too big in MKD.

It's not an Asian fighting game... especially since it was created by an American and contains MANY non Asian fighters. And Nightwolf having a Scalping Fatality on one side might be considered a bit discriminating but then again Liu Kang's "Fung-Fu Turkey" Voice could also be considered a discriminating stereotype of Japanese matial artists, or Mileena's big boobs sticking out in her alt costume could be misinterpreted, or Jax saying "ooooh yeeah" like some big black pimp in MKDA... etc etc etc, everything's a stereotype nowadays... people are hyper sensitive about it too.... but think about this...
Where do you think stereotypes come from?

Okay, the scalping thing is a good idea, and how the hell is it a stereotype? The did do it! Back when Native-Americans were in war, they would scalp any captured prisoners. The other stuff [i]is[/i] stereotypes, but Nightwolf scalping someone isn't cuz it's true to most.wink

You're probably right. but if Liu's a chinese martial arts stereotype, then Kano's a typical thug-terminator, Rayden is stolen from the Doubl;e dragon movie, and so on.
Come to think of it, Nightwolf even had a better storyline...
Hmm, maybe the scalping should be combined with something else. You don't die from having the skin sliced down from your skull.

A Stereotype is a view based on fact but exaggerated & oversimplified.
And Native scalpings is a stereotype that apparently You bought into. Do you think every native tribe found in North America in the last 5 hundred years scalped their enemies when at war? Do some research and you'll find maybe 20 or 30 of the over 200 different tribes in North American history Actually did that. But you watch movies and tv and think, well of course ALL Native Americans, EVER in history, scalped people. Well it's just not true, in fact it's far from the truth. But thats what a stereotype is. What I meant was that there IS some truth to all stereotypes. They gotta come from somewhere. Which is why I'm not totally against Nightwolf having a Scalping Fatalaity because, yes, some Natives DID do that.
And Chrome, lets see how long you last without any skin of your skull and severe brain trauma, pieces of skull missing and probably an arrow or two sticking in you. You think they pranced up to you in battle and delicately made a clean cut in your forehead and peeled it back gently? LORD no, they held your head back, raised their blade high up and swung like a beast, likely taking some of your skull and brain with them.
Trust me; you'd die.

You're right of course. They had a tendency to get the trophies in the most variable ways possible, even slicing off the d-k of someone.
About scalping. Most scaalpers didn't killed the trophies, they rather left them in disgrace. There were some who even took the upper cranium. Theese were those who decided to kill the prey for their crimes, or they were simply not experienced in the methods of scalping, hehehe....

Not ALL Native Americans scalped their enemies after battle. Personally I don't see why he would scalp anyone. He uses sophisticated fighting techniques and shaman magic, then just goes and scalps the guy? Personally I'd rather see him use the tomahawks again or summon lightning like he did in MK3 (just much more grand).
So yes, giving Nightwolf a scalping fatality IS stereotypical, because not all Native American people scalped their fallen enemies. Its a common misconception about the 'savage indian'. Then agian maybe the entire character of Nightwolf is stereotypical, but who else in MK isn't? If you want a game with an Indian that scalps opponents for a fatality however, Kasumi Ninja for the old Atari Jaguar features an indian that scalps his opponent for his fatality.
