I'm not specifically because I don't want to spoil whats coming next. I might read it when the series finishes.

Y'all should read the comic. It's a really good story

I read through to season 1 and honestly thought the show had done just about everything better than the comic, so I decided to wait until it was all done before reading.

It did do it as good if not better than the comic, but the comic is done and the show won't be done for like 5 years at this rate lol

Spoiler: show

Ah yes the sudden reveal of the nature and limitations of Eve's powers... from three years ago.

Gonna go out on a limb and assume that was in the special? If so, my bad, have yet to watch it.

Spoiler: show

Mark's super strength when angry,

I'm late to this part but for this spoilered part which, isn't really a spoiler so I'm going to discuss it like that. I don't believe "Mark gets super strength when Angry" is whats happening, because its been a common theme since I think season 2, maybe even season 1 but its been a while, that Mark always holds back when he's fighting due to not wanting to kill anyone, even in seemingly life or death fights, he's always holding back "Killing blows".

In the season 2 Mid break fight, Omniman is constantly chastising Mark for holding back as an example, and throughout episodes you can often tell he's never really fighting at "Kill your opponent" strength, the fight with that lady Viltramite in the previous season as example, and (this is a spoiler that i wont spoil)

Spoiler: show

even in the fight against Conquest, I don't think he was fighting to kill for most of that fight, just Mark naively fighting to "defeat", likely with the intent to run him away or lock him up... knowing Mark. It was that last moment where he wanted to protect Eve at all costs after having thought he watched her die, that he was finally fighting with the intent of outright killing him. Which is why at the end of that episode he talks with his brother about how he now knows he needs to fight with intent to kill for anyone who threatens or hurts his friends/family

I may be forgetting specifics to support my theory here, but I'm relatively certain I picked up on the vibe Mark is always holding back when he fights to not accidentally kill anyone, even when he's getting his ass BEAT. The "Superstrength from Anger" bit I think is more "Loses emotional control and starts throwing punches with the intent to kill".

Thats the vibe I got anyway. He's extremely "anti-kill", and that affects his fighting.

Also

Spoiler: show

I dont think he even get that much stronger in that moment, he was just absolutely trying to kill him, which is why he still lost his hand and was just smashing his face in with his skull. I don't think he got some unfound strength for that, just that Conquest was very weakened by Eve at that point and Mark was smashing with pure killing instinct

^ agreed on all points.

I just re-read the series. The show has the advantage of 20 years of storytelling experience over the comics and it shows. I'm usually very leery about book to movie adaptation changes, but so far most everything has been an improvement. Amber being fucking terrible aside...

Also, show only folks, watch the Atom Eve special. It's good.

What in the NRS jank is that? Looked interesting until the actual gameplay started.

[Krandor]

All the animations and sound effects look like they're ripped straight out of an NRS game, I was actually surprised it's not made by them

[Athas]

I thought Mortal Combat already had Invincible.

[Krandor]

Omniman was a guest character in the most recent one

[Karbuncle]

the fuck is NRS?

From what Maximillian said on stream is that this is a bunch of old Killer Instinct devs doing this and hes had hands on for a while during its development.

Just to further add, they're the studio responsible for the Mortal Kombat and Injustice games which are infamous for character animations all looking like they're fighting with a stick up their ass.
