Comments
Twisted Metal Black's story is very fun and good in a fighting game kind of way. If you take any fighting game's story seriously I don't see the difference there. Before that it was pretty amateurish.

2021-09-27 23:21:51 +0000 UTCI'm probably among the .1% of people who found the lore weirdly compelling (I went through a phase, I'm also really up on the lore of the first 4 King of Fighters games) and very surprisingly Twisted Metal 2, Black, and Head-On KIND OF tell a weirdly cohesive narrative among their endings, especially Sweet Tooth and Roadkill's. And the story of Needles "Sweet Tooth" Kane and his taxi-driving father is briefly covered in "Black," there's a surprising amount of meat on that bone. I'm pretty sure the show will just be post-apocalypse '50s art-deco reality show. Which could also be fun.
