It was also a callback to the beginning of the movie where they alluded to Cole's focus on attacking and not defending. Then he finds his arcana when he truly has something to defend. It's not original, it's not clever, but it's effective. Unfortunately they don't seem to have put as much thought into the other characters' arcana so Cole's character development seems like an accident.

Its actually suppose to be his skin. Not armor. Even tho it looks like dog shit armor it is some way some how his skin according to the asshat directors. They also suck at creating a character; like what should his powers be? Well he can just take spine shattering damage from a 10 foot yaked out giant monster and redirect the opponents energy back at them because... reasons. I can literally think up a cooler character with better dialog, back story, powers, actual moves, and motivations paired with a way more interesting way of accessing his powers.. in like 10 minutes. Which the whole they need to "unlock their powers" and giving their powers some weird mystical naming with no fucking explanation was the dumbest shit ever. They don't need a reason for having powers or to fucking unlock them... they are mythical beings for the most part. Imagine playing MK and all you get are basic kick and punches with every character until you play for a set amount of time and unlock your powers by getting your ass beat...

@@colinjensen8303 Can you explain what you mean by "normal"?

They seriously need to bring the Ninja Reptile back. He was a boss in the original game not some monster.

[@chezter43]

100% agree!

[@InsaniaTHEGREATONE]

Yeah that was stupid as fuck

[@jhite6206]

Yes,!!!

[@fosko7494]

He was the same race but not Reptile.

Yeah ninja reptile is dope.

Shang Tsung, literally has a moment, where he stops everything to remind his minions: “Do you think we won nine tournaments, by playing fair? No we cheated, we’re the bad guys.”

[@bradmyers5354]

Gotta make sure the audience knows who to pull for. Nothing says “our audience is dumb” better than thinking you need to literally tell them who the bad guys are.

[@noble0155]

Was pretty hilarious... plus it makes a plot hole. Shang Tsung could have soul sucked everyone, why wait until they were all grouped together where its easier for Raiden to protect them

Lol jeeeeez... That's an actual line in the movie?🤦

[@christiankettlewell]

Isn’t it that Bi Han never even killed Scorpion’s family? I thought it turned out that it was Quan Chi disguised as Sub-Zero both because he wanted Scorpion as his servant but he ultimately wanted Scorpion to help him create Noob Saibot

[@OttisR0t]

Correct but don't tell hollywood that

[@ShadowRoo1]

It was Quan Chi lore wise but movie wise nope

[@phatymcdaddy]

It depends. The story has been redone mamy times

[@spreadwuvokay]

@Jae M I feel like your overreacting. Especially with the casting. They didn't do anything like fire worthy as far as casting goes. Imagine a white Jax.

[@imillyrockonanyblock3280]

That’s what i was saying

[@cloudshifter]

I wish they kept Shang Tsungs charisma from mk 11, the way he talks there just glues you to the screen in that game.

Cole beat Goro with the power of his friendship bracelet

Man that scene made me feel some type of way lmao Goro should’ve smashed that whole family until Cole’s literal plot armor activated 😭😂

Well, I guess I'll see you all in another 20 years for the next reboot.

No no they will not be next 20 years for this🤣 monstrosity
