MK9 is looking great so far, but is anyone else bothered by the fact that almost every female character is wearing high heels?

Sonya should wear boots, that's it, I don't care if every other female wear high heels. Sheeva with high heels would look awkwards though.

We have a rant thread here.

And yes, it's impossible to do what these girls do in high heels. Nonetheless, I'm sure they're sticking to it.

I don't think they're worried about their heals when their skulls are being smashed, livers are being frozen and crushed, and their bodies being lacerated in even the most sacred of areas.

Let me be the first to admit here that I think its lazy and redundant. It looks like a rule where females who enter mortal kombat must wear heels now or they're disqualified. You know what, maybe that's an excellent excuse against why they all should wear them. In the end, more effort was put into the women's footwear on MK vs DC. So if fatalities are the reason, I still can't accept that as a valid excuse why they should all wear heels..

They're intentionally oversexualizing their women. Like it or don't.

Respect.

Man just comes out and says it.

This is why they're wearing heals.

They look good to the majority of the crowd, myself included. I definitely don't think Sonya should be wearing them, but whatever. I can take it or leave it.

This game is clearly targeted toward a male audience. That's really all there is to it. And yes, I understand that there are some who would like to see their women more realistically dressed. But again, I think they're looking in the wrong place.

I think Mortal Kombat isn't gonna become anymore reserved than it is now. I doubt they could take the sexuality any further, aside from making some battle-damaged nudity, or what have you. But I can't see the females getting any more skimpy... I think they're at that line where they haven't crossed over into total hilarity, but if they take it much further...they will.

It's like how super heroines/villains are always in heels. It's a fantasy world. I'd rather Sonya in boots, but it's not the worst thing they've done to her outfit. Just shrug it off.

Meh, it's a little odd, but it won't kill my enjoyment of the game. I'm not sure what the logic behind it is though. It's not like they need heels to make their asses look nice. They're 3D models.

I guess you ain't got a thing for thigh-highs. Heels make'm look better.

Nummy.

I suppose it just seems a little bit redundant to me personally. It's not even if a character looks good in heels or not to me, but more so just the lazyness of it. Besides that, I think all the females in the game are looking fantastic. I never got the "You're over-sexualizing my fantasy characters" point of view.

You don't feel like these girls are oversexualized? I sure do. I think they're just going for as much shock value as they can.

As for me it's just all in good fun. Blood, magic and tits, fuck yea.

That's all it comes down to for me.

The high heels work for Kitana, Mileena, Jade, and Sindel, but Sonya should have her combat boots. Sheeva should probably be barefoot.

It's kinda odd that every girl has on high heels, I don't care about Jade, Mileena, Sindel, or Kitana having them, but it would have been cool if Sonya had her combat boots, as those would actually fit her character. I certainly hope they don't give Sheeva high heels, she should fight barefoot, but with them giving every woman in the game heels I dunno about thatconfused

Another thread about the high heels and the women of MK being oversexualized...

Why? Haven't we gone over this topic a million times already? Every thread about a female character are filled with these discussions. I don't see the point in mentioning it yet again in a whole new thread.

Please make threads about something more interesting, and preferably new topics, if you can. It would really help the message board alot if you could.

Touche. I would prefer to talk about the high heels as weapons and their potential. Nothing crazier than a pissed off bitch hurling a stiletto at your head.
