Any persons who disrespects the cameo king Stan lee will be beheaded. It’s blasphemy and we cast you into the shadowy depths of justice leagues superman, Henry Cavill fake shaved mustaches realm.

Okay I'm just going to go ahead and say this. I for the longest time I thought that Mortal Kombat had just about as much chance of getting Resurrected as Hong Kong Phooey would have as becoming a real life animation, but this is incredible. I honestly see with the right disciplined actors which thus far I have seen a perfect cast, a series of movies like this could give Marvel Comics a run for their money. Actually showing the origins of so many of the characters not just the base relevant characters that we all grew to get annoyed with in the 90s. Warner Brothers, keep this going and I don't just mean these live action shorts. If I ever see that something like this is coming to the theaters you bet your ass that mine will be in line for the opening night
