One major plot hole with the Kana is when Sub-Zero kills Scorpion he should have gained Scorpion's tattoo thus breaking the birth right and there being no Cole. Sub-Zero should have been like Kurgan in Highlander and be getting more powerful by killing protectors and collecting their tattoos. This would also explain why he was able to live 400 years.

[@TheOhmen1]

They never really discussed what happens when 2 fighters who already have the mark kill one another. I think the safe assumption is that Bi-Han already had the mark because he had ice powers and was just learning to use them. It's probably like a Lantern ring in the sense that the mark seeks those with the potential to be great and will likely stay within the bloodline. Death with out transferring (mark vs mark) likely leads to those who get the mark at birth. Example: The Great Kung Lao and his descendent Kung Lao.

Which is way more close to the soure material. Also Nitara was an absolute waste of a character for this movie. Why was she included if she was just going to be offed without even a decent fight.

[@draztiktunez7104]

Oh and let's forget how the fuck sub zero lived for centuries like you said the original sub zero became Noob Saibot and his brother took the mantle over .

My thing....how is sub zero still alive when hekilled scorpion centuries ago

[@jeggsonvohees2201]

Don't know, and neither does the movie apparently. This problem showed up in MK legacy as well.

The only thing I can think of that makes sense is through Shang Tsung's sorcery, keeping him youthful through souls like he does himself.

Mileena Rant. Sisi Stringer Aka "Mileena" quoted in her latest interview that she didn't like the MK9 Mileena, saying - "She looks like a Striper and wasn't going to portray her like that"... Not only does that make me really angry as a Mileena fan, but Just goes to show she didn't make any effort into research the character... she took 1 look and went "nope ain't doing that"... Then why F*#ing audition as Mileena then? Well Sisi listen - Mileena is MUCH More than just what you mocked from maybe 5 seconds in the game. Mileena is one of the most fascinating, vicious female characters in MK, and YEAH Mileena IS meant to be somewhat seductive, fun and inviting - a kinda damsel in distress to allure her opponents in her web, then she takes off her mask revealing her permanent Tarkatan Teeth, which should NOT appear in CGI for maybe 15 seconds... Mileena would be a dream come true to play, I've seen better Cosplay Mileena than this, and they deliver decent looking Make up Teeth that looks fantastic on them, these girls are not professional or anything, but in the movie industry when you spend millions on the costumes ecs your telling me you could not give Mileena realistic Tarkatan Teeth? Absolute BS, the original Sinbad Movies had better monsters and we are going back 40 years!. Not only your insulting the original character, the lore but also the fans. Both Sisi & the producers failed miserably to portray Mileena, as you made zero efforts into getting into the character - don't try to justify it by saying "we wanted something new"... No! you can't re design a well known character who is known to look oriental with her traditional pink costume and the Twin sister of Princess Kitana - so does this mean Sisi Stringer is Kitana? I Hope not, don't Butcher Kitana too. For those who Don't know Mileena this is her Wikipedia... "Dual sai-wielding assassin, she acts as the evil twin and MAGENTTA PINK palette swap of Princess Kitana in Mortal Kombat II in 1993. She has been promoted throughout the Mortal Kombat games as its semi-ironic sex symbol, especially since Mortal Kombat: Deception when she began a pattern of wearing more revealing outfits." I don't expect a naked Mileena on screen but my god there are ways of portraying a classy, seductive Mileena. Plus again... obviously Mileena doesn't exist right from the start not before Kitana!! Sisi portrayed "Mileena" in the most bland way possible and the joke is she had a stunt double? For the short boring fighting performance she gave they also had s stunt double...? Wouldn't it be just believable to just cast a REAL agile gymnast or martial artist to play Mileena? There are plenty of beautiful athletic women in the world, I mean show off those skills & Inspire!. Lewis Tan didn't even get to show off his skills and his a professional martial artist! This movie should of had 80% of fighting screen time and less BS, I don't get it lol... Bring in more talent and less politics to movies... Plus Sisi has a video on Instagram of her painfully trying to do a simple cartwheel and a back roll Which she clearly had difficulty doing - but doesn't show any of it in the movie after all her efforts..... Lol, and in another interview said her audition was awful but she still got the part?.... 🤔 Well the others must of REALLY sucked if Sisi was the best out of the bad bunch... 🤣 I'm done !

We all like a certain version of our favorite characters. Doesn’t make us any less of an mk fan. I agree with you on mileena being an amazing character, yet I’m with sisi on the fact that I don’t care for mk9 mileena and prefer her looking more assassin-like. That doesn’t insult the character, nor is it mocking. It’s just an opinion... For her portrayal, I wouldn’t blame sisi for that. Just blame the writers and director for not giving her enough screen time and script to show more of mileenas personality. No matter how much sisi studied the character, the script is what determines how much she can show with the character. She certainly did great with what she was given. You said she’s a vicious character and she portrayed that. She doesn’t wear pink, but clothing doesn’t change a character. Also, there are endless mileena clones, so perhaps they’ll bring a more seductive looking mileena to the next mk movie as I’m sure not every mileena clone is exactly the same.

At least the 90s movie respected the source material even tho there wasn't much at the time and the atmosphere and scenes were ten times better .

[@TigressRare]

Thank you for this, I thought I was going crazy because I agree with everything you said and more - but it's like everyone is brainwashed to think THIS movie is great, it's an insult to the genuine MK fans, and I'm not going to disrespect NRS because this movie clearly goes against the original lore completely! And I had zero idea they boycotted Johnny Cage - replacing him to Cole young... I thought Sisi Stringer as Mileena was bad! Who should of been Asain ... The casting choice was obviously political, most of the actors, the director, writer the producer - Australians, and who had the most screen time!?.... The Australian who acted as the Australian - Kano, who Clearly dominates the entire scene, over acted and was irritating to watch after a while, he made Liu Kang look dumb, should of been reversed as explained by Ed Boon Liu Kang is the heart of MK normally, but I can't help but feel they made "Kano the bully" out as the favourite, which Really wasn't supposed to happen but because everyone else was weak and acted "avarage" it made Kano stood out even more, personally I thought he was extremely over the top .... The script writing was high school material.... Just overall bad.

[@TigressRare]

@@fightingmedialounge519 lol I actually don't go on U Tube much, but I am a MK fan and as much as I have seen negative feedback and reviews on this, I do feel THIS guy really gave a good in depth calculation of how bad this movie was... But prior to that I have seen many people loving this movie more than hating it... So that was my point.

1995 Liu took no prisoners lmao, Reptile puts the hands of god on him for 3 minutes straight then Liu just yeets him into a wall and beats the soul out of him, all while Johnny is noticeably absent. Maybe he was keeping out of the fight because of Liu throwing his bags lol

If they make a sequel the only way they'll get me to watch it is if 90% of the film is focused on scorpion, and they brutally murder Colgate in the first 5 minutes.

Colgate 😂 That’s what I was exactly thinking. In order for Scorpion to break bad , cole n his family has to be killed and kwai liang has to be framed by Quan chi.

Definitely would have to fatality Cole out in the opening minutes. Matter fact, I wouldn't mind if they tell he got killed off screen through dialog and we never see him on screen.

I'm curious what made them think Shang Tsung is a Warlord and not a Sorcerer... because his outfit is pure crap and not accurate to his kharacter.

[@thefanwithoutaface8105]

I can best describe the new Mortal Kombat as Superficial over Substance, namely it includes stuff fans wanted...but only surface level crap just to please the average fan and even then it falls pretty hard. Easter Egg nods to characters and lore, violence, fatalities, some obscure characters from the games and Scorpion and Subzero beating each other up. The problem is that all of that stuff is primarily window dressing, things that while serving as extras enhance a movie, without a solid story, well developed characters, enjoyable dialogue and decent sets, all that extra crap means little to nothing.

[@stefilordofsmugness4108]

For someone who doesnt know a thing about MK, this movie is just straight up misleading about core lore points.

If you get the marking by killing someone why did sub zero not get scorpions marking instead of the baby

[@SilentProtagonist-Au]

They never really say you get the marking for killing someone, do they? I think the movie never clarifies it well due to the inconsistencies like the one you mention. It would make sense if the Marking transfered to the closest person rather then the killer. Well at least that would make it more consistent.
