Why do they make it seem like the fights are staged?

Someone noticed that a stage light drops on the opponent in Longshot's sp2, so it got me thinking of all the camera screens that cracked in our pov from hitting or dropping it. Does this lowkey establish that the reason why the characters don't move sideways like in Tekken 5 (never played the others) isn't just because of the game design irl, but because it's an in-universe stage with a limited flat space and fake background rather than a real place?? There's lore that tells us these are real fights, but what if the lore is also just canonically them acting? Either these characters are the real deal and everyone are just friends behind the scenes or they're all actors.

The last thing against this that I could think of is that if that's the case, then why is the stage light dropping on someone not taken as a serious emergency and why is it treated like Longshot's actual power? Well, it may be fake as well. It might be the studio's way to break the fourth wall as a gag. That's all folks.

    The Contest of Champions takes place on a stage/in an arena, much like when Thor and Hulk fought each other in Ragnarok.

    The stage light thing or whatever it's called seems to suggest that they're fighting in a studio set rather an arena, though.

    I think you're limiting the use of stage lights a little too much. Every arena has some form of stage lights, whether it's performance or athletic. That stage light that he drops is too big for a small indoor space like a studio.

    Yeah true ig. I don't know why I didn't take into account its size

    @713_o_f1673r Longshot is being filmed by Mojo for the Mojoverse. Makes sense for him.
    As for the other's where you see camera's, we have seen many videos with symbiotes filming for the Collector back in the day. Maybe they still wander around filming fights?

    Longshot makes sense yeah.
    I'm new here, so I never knew this was a thing. That's interesting and hilarious to think about. I can just imagine a symbiote camera man capturing all these huge, probably world ending fights but the bosses adjust their power to not destroy the camera or kill the symbiote cameraman because they also want to be filmed.

    Seriously tho, the camera breaking stuff is the summoners pov when using champs. Longshot came from mojo world, which was always televised

    Is it supposed to be our phone screens or the glass of the summoner's helmet? Cause we're wearing a space suit, right?

    We, the summoner, are ourselves controlling the phone. We have an avatar in the game that others can interact with, however, we are far removed from the actual place. This is proven whenever Deadpool speaks to us (like when he says he loves seeing our huge face watching him) and when fighting Emma frost in 8.4, the summoner was unaffected because their mind is far removed from the space. In the battles, we aren't seeing things from the perspective of the summoner, but that of a camera. It is a common trope in games that you have a cameraman (who is invisible to us) and that's how you're able to see and interact with the world.

    Unless you are playing a first-person shooter, of course.
