“And that’s all the movie has to say about that” The tag line for the movie

[@justinrandall5907]

The problem is that so much of the movie just lacks the proper exposition to explain the events of the first tournament and would’ve been better off if Cole Young was replaced by Johnny Cage, I think Louis Tan would’ve played him pretty well and there wouldn’t be any confusion as to who Cole is and what his role in the series is. In addition to this, they don’t explain the proper rules of the tournament well or any of their powers, it would’ve been better to explain that Earth risks being overrun by Outworld if they lose a consecutive amount of tournaments which motivates them to fight. In addition to that, they should’ve better developed Raiden’s character and given him better reasons for being so cynical compared to his video game counterpart. Maybe showcase how he’s been weathered over time by seeing countless Earthrealm kombatants lose, so he’s trying with all he’s got with the current lot. The mark for kombatants is also stupid, they should just make them chosen and have their reasons for Raiden drawing them to fight in the tournament, just like in the animated movie. Plus, on top of this, they keep killing people off before the tournament begins and don’t articulate the actual rules behind it. It makes sense that Shang Tsung would try to kill people off before the tournament begins but I’m pretty sure the game forbade him from doing so, which is why he usually tries stuff like this when people are in different realms.

Not necessarily, Johnny Cage is a step up from the generic action MC, and just the writing in general hurt the character not really Cole himself, like for example when you write that your character loses every single fight but then conveniently beats someone way stronger than him it’s the writing, in reality Cole should’ve just been Takeda and then said his adopted father or his moms husband was Kenshi

@@DrippleDragon I wouldn't say terrible just had some flaws which let's be honest every franchise has some DC, Marvel etc but still for a video game and by far for a fighting game MK is by far the best hands down.

They trapped its essence in the kamidogu old timeline amulets, new one in daggers and shattered its body turning it into the realms which is insane power its just they tend to be neutral and not want to get involved ever... Shinnok with his amulet is powerful but so is Raiden, he justbholds back. When he doesn't hes arguably more powrrful than both Shao Kahn and Shinnok. I mean Raiden has effected time itself so yeah...lol but anyone also with the amulet is a high level threat especially Shinnok or Raiden. The new mk9 story was solid honestly with a few exceptions it is 9ne reason mk got put back on the map bigtime and attracted new fans even every other fighter said nrs redefined the story for fgs as they too now have a story like mode. Between mk and injustice this is pretty obvious. The new movie I feltnhad more positives than negatives but could have been better I have no issues with it being a prequel but more so with cole being there. I get why for the genera audience to latch onto but didn't feel necessary. I have no issues with the Raiden stuff if people knew mk lore they'd know why he didn't do more allnill say on that. I think considering the fact that keep in mind this movie was one of the first to release in theatres dueing a pandemic, rated R and video game movie a stigma against it alone and competition against itself via streaming on HBO it still was number 1 opening weekend at 23 mill and 30 mill streaming. Not too shabby considering. Was it perfect no, but as bad as some people said hell no. On RT the "professional critics" gave it 55% vs audience who gave it 86% nuff said. It'll get 4 more sequels. I still consider the original to be the best video game movie ever but I enjoyed this one and was way better than annihilation.

This movie eviscerates Mortal Kombat lore. The MK tournaments were designed to assemble the greatest fighters across multiple worlds. Some were "chosen ones" like Liu Kang since he was chosen by Raiden to defend Earthrealm but a lot were kind just roped into the tournament for various reasons, often personal reasons. I hate how Jax gets his arms ripped off by Sub-Zero and not Ermac. Ermac would have been a much better villain, would have made sense given the MK9 canon, and would have given Shang Tsung a proper ally given Ermac was literally made by Shang to begin with. Also Jax's arms are cybernetic not magic. Cybernetics is pretty common in the MK universe through Kano and the Cyber Lin Kuei. The fact Jax goes from having literal chicken feet for arms to "magical" robot arms because he saved Sonya is utter bullshit. Also Kano's a member of the Black Dragon along with Kabal. The fact Kabal knows Kano's on Earth implies the Black Dragon is a thing so Sonya not immediately wanting to kill Kano despite him being involved in the tournament is also bullshit. It's also bullshit that Kano even bothers with the tournament and Kabal sides with Shang Tsung - their roles are literally REVERSED in the MK9 canon! Kano is a selfish prick who sides with Shang and Kabal leaves the Black Dragon but gets immolated by Kintaro which is why he has the suit. The speed was given by Shang Tsung, who tried to revive him. Obviously Shang gave Kabal the suit and the magic in the movie but I don't get why Kabal would side with Shang since that's literally not what the MK9 canon is. Also Raiden cannot interfere with Mortal Kombat once the tournament has started. He cannon participate and nobody can challenge him. But when Shao Khan and Shang Tsung invade Earth, violating the terms of Mortal Kombat, he is allowed to engage. So Raiden claiming he can't engage even when Shang Tsung clearly is violating the terms of Kombat is 200% bullshit. Also Mileena being in the movie despite Shao Khan not having been introduced. It makes zero sense for Mileena to be in the movie if Shao Khan isn't the movie's antagonist. Why Sub-Zero though? Bi-Han wasn't even the one who killed Hanzo's clan in the MK9 canon, it was Kuai Liang. Bi-Han is killed by Scorpion in Mortal Kombat in revenge but returns as Noob Saibot. It would have been much better for Scorpion to kill Bi-Han only to realize he killed the wrong person half-way through and use that as a plot-twist.

There used to be a show on Discovery Channel or The History Channel that brokedown weapons throughout history and how they are used. The weapon that the rope and spade creates, that is designed to engage multiple attackers simultaneously and keep them outside of melee range. So, probably, by accident... That was the appropriate weapon to choose over a sword. As you know, because if more than one enemy attacks you in melee at the same time, it rapidly becomes a problem. You can't always assume the baddies will attack you one at a time... wait a minute.

Looks wise, I'll only give Sonya a pass but Liu Kang looked like a discount Chinese Michael Jackson and was too skinny despite being shredded (yes you can be skinny and shredded at the same time. Just look at Robin Shou Liu Kang compared to Ludi Lin). Other than that, they should have cast Ken Watanabe as Shang Tsung, Marko Zaror as Raiden, Tiger Chen as Liu Kang, Emily Blunt as Sonya and Michael Jai White as Jax. I know they couldn't afford a few of these actors, but maybe if they didn't spend their money on Goros horrible inclusion to the movie and "Outworld" that shouldn't have been shown in the movie much, only glimpses, then maybe they would have been able to afford actors who fit the roles better acting wise and fighting wise.

"I'm pretty sure there are fewer heroes and villains in all the actual video game iterations combined" MK Armageddon: Sup

He obviously doesn’t play mk

Ah yes, Armageddon. The entry in the series that *everyone* loves...

[@BBBachon]

@@StephonZeno you don’t have to love MK Armageddon to know that it had a roster of over 50 characters

[@StephonZeno]

@@BBBachon And how many of those character were actually good or memorable in anyway? Oh yeah, I can't wait to see Movado and Mocap in MK 12...

@@StephonZeno I loved it but I feel like I'm in the minority. There's just something goofy about it that appealed to me.

I mean, you added 100 sins just for the hell of it and i still think they ain't enough. They really did this movie dirty

This is not Mortal Kombat. This is Cole Young's Tattoo Assassins film. And it is getting a sequel smh

I'm tired of Jax having to lose his arms in every MK adaption now. There were Cybernetic power enhancers in UMK3 not his real arms.

[@ytfreemium]

I wonder who is going to rip jadi arm next

I love Sub-Zero's stance here 16:56 and how bored he looks.

Sin Counter with the Fatality once again

[@PenStoryGaming]

Actually on sins ²⁴⁸ , sub Zero has a brother who replaced this sub zero, there is actually two version of Zub Zero since they are both brothers, the thing that annoys me is that Quan Chi was not even mentioned since he is the reason Scorpion got to scorpion in the first place

[@li-limandragon9287]

You think the filmmakers cared? Scorpion isn’t a hero but a asshole minion for most of games but the writers of this clearly saw him on a box and assumed he was the coo big damn hero.
