This is why I loveMortal Kombat. (Well, besides the over-the-top, gruesome deaths.)
The story is absurdly dramatic if you take the time to let it soak in, which isn’t necessarily a good thing in and of itself. But, then you see goofy stuff like theChallenge Tower, and this near-perfect balance of seriousness and bat-sh*t insanity is met.
Also, you may punch a dude’s head and his entire skull shatters.
