Doing all the fatalities to Homelander will be fun.

Managed to get to the end of the Spectre invasion mode, and... That was a slog. It feels very barebones, not enough lore to compete with even something like the MKDA Konquest mode, not enough creative changes to gameplay to compete with the MK9 challenge tower, not as fun as the random ass Puzzle Kombat or Motor Kombat modes. It's just kinda there. I liked the brief glimpses at story, but feel like there has to be a better way to incorporate them. Can't imagine doing that all again for multiple seasons.

Isn't the DLC 1 pack be available to play this month? It's out on Thursday, or the week after for people who didn't get the season pass. That said I don't think I'm even going to bother to check it out for the time being. The game just feels so empty and doing one season of Invasions was such a boring slog I don't have the slightest motivation to do another. Most of the skins suck anyway.

I did go ahead and play around a little with the new season and here are my thoughts thus far.
Good:
- Invasions does seem a lot less grindy now just between fights having less super armor, increased run speed on the menus, and majorly cutting down the amount of ambushes and secret battles.
- The new skins are generally nicer than the ugly-ass ketchup and mustard ones for season one.
- They knew everyone abused the three-on-one Level 1 fight for easy grinding and they not only kept it but moved it to be right in front of the Kollector so you can easily teleport to it.
Bad:
- The skins are still largely super repetitive.
- They put a bunch more overpriced exclusive garbage in the shop that'd take you hundreds of dollars to actually buy all of.
- The new shrine update is basically completely useless. Only 65 or so new items in it so if you played for a fair bit extra last season you should be able to just instantly buy up everything in it again, and there's not even really anything decent besides MK3 Jax.

They announced that they'll be putting out a bundle including the Halloweeen, Thanksgiving, and Christmas fatalities next week and it'll be free to people who bought the Halloween one, which is at least a better deal than the utter ripoff it was before but still doesn't solve the actual problem.

Got back to this to finish the story... I think my favorite Kameo fatality in this is Kano's heart rip just due to how nonchalantly he wanders into the scene and does it.

Oh! in one of Omniman's clashes Sindel says the thing.
"Perhaps I'll keep you and your daughters as pets." "Pets?! For that, You... will die"
edit: Also Raiden makes a Spider-man reference... >_>

I know people think of Homelander more for it, but Omni-Man is also a total piece of shit, too. Such a smug prick.

Having never watched Invincible the impression I'm getting from Omni-Man in this game is that this character is utterly insufferable to watch and not in a, "Yeah, I want to see him taken down a peg!" way. There's kind of a charm there from it being JK Simmons and he is fun to play as but the character just seems like he'd be suffocating to deal with with how smug and overpowered he is, especially since I know there are attempts to humanize him which just seem completely unwarranted.

I've never been less excited for Mortal Kombat DLC. Get to Takeda and I'll be happy, but if I wanted to see what a Netherrealm game with Superman-but-a-dick was like, I'd play Injustice again and have a better time of it.

A lot of his other face offs make it clear he thinks the Empire is a good thing and standing against it is not only stupid and a death sentence, but actually worse for you. Like he mentions likely being able to cure Tarkat to Baraka, among other things. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}Also his ending explicitly states he was taking over timelines to quell the Empire's need for conquest and to leave Earth alone for the time being... and that when the time comes he hopes Mark is prepared.

As someone who read the comic the show stems from?? He’s gonna get his baaaaad
