Im really loving snake’s arc of going from absolutely despising MK 9 to just being fine with it

[@kagekao6613]

Either that or he's just ok with very few things from that game. He now has MK11 to compare it to,and that's probably the far worse evil in his eyes now. But yeah,it's definitely quite the arc 😂

[@NucleaRaptor]

It's wack how with every successive adaptation, I'm finding more and more things to like about the previous attempts. When your movie is making me look back longingly at MKLegacy with a newfound appreciation and reverence, you done fucked up. It's just disheartening to realize that the MKCU peaked in 1995.

[@kagekao6613]

@@NucleaRaptor It's what happens. I know many people would disagree with me on this,but I used to hate the Castlevania Lords of Shadow games for not being like the original game series and having most likely robbed us fans of the classic series getting any more games. But after watching all of Netflixvania,it's making me think I treated the Lords of Shadow games too harshly and that they are way more Castlevania than that Netflixvania show. So I know how you feel.

In a way maybe that's the problem, 30 year old man dressing up as a video game character on KZbin and if someone says that they like this 2021 MK film than he is "not a real fan cause he doesn't care about the actual story". I would wait for the second movie to come out where they will introduce Cage and flesh out the characters more, let's see what they can do cause I really taught that the entire crew did a pretty fcking good job with what they were giving. I expected them doing corny stupid ass jokes with demeaning facial gestures but they didn't, they took it as serious as it can be (for ex when Liu Kang was preparing to spar with Kano and he was doing his meditation thing or what; I honestly was expecting some demeaning shit from Kano but he just stretched his neck and was ready to go even doe he started saying his reference lines right after that about "no Harry Potter shit", but he was smoked by Liu in a funny/entertaining way for being immature by their standards) And boy oh boy this Taslim guy has the potential to be a great Noob Saibot, like something we never saw in NRS MK games, IMO his character was on point with the silent assassin thing and felt like a next level villain, even addressed by the OC Cole, talking about how they gone get him last. (yeah I wasn't a big fan of Cole telling the final "divide and conquer" plan to the group and I hope they don't make his character say or do stuff like that in a major way like he did in this movie but all and all I was very pleased by this movie

[@machine1685]

It's not what you know, it's who you know. Without some established connections in the industry or insane hype around a creator, very rarely would someone get picked to head a project. And even then, it may just be so the studio can get their hands on the latest hot thing so no one else can make money off of it besides them. In this hypothetical situation, I can see the studio let Snake head off Season 1 just so if it fails, it's not their fault. But if it's successful, you'll start to see more meddling by other people so the product can appease share holders and the casual audience (I see you over there, DCEU. Yes, I'm talking about you.)

[@delayed_reaction_man]

I would suggest animation instead of live action. Looking at some of DC's current works, a lot of the fight scenes in live action are lackluster or look like a CGI skid mark. Consider the Batman verses Shredder fight scene in Batman vs. TMNT film for a reference on how fights like that should go. As for why the live action fight scenes seem subpar, look no further than Birds of Prey. Characters like Black Canary, Harley Quinn, and Huntress make up for their lack of strength (when compared to Hawkgirl or Bane) through skill and speed. There is an unspoken canon to comic books like DC where "peak human physique" basically means superhuman without the help of some modification to their body. Margot Robbie just seems to be moving too slow when compared to what they can do in animated in animated material. This is what I fear a live action Mortal Kombat would be regardless of the writing or casting. We won't get The Raid by scrunching up our noses, crossing fingers, and wishing on a star, so maybe put money down for an animation team that is eager to create the Mortal Kombat of our dreams.

If I were to make an adaptation, I would just adapt MK Mythologies: Sub Zero into a movie. I mean, we already have 2 movies about first tournament and one movie about invasion, so there really is no need to repeat those stories. Main advantages of adapting Mythologies would be that it's a smaller story that could work well in movie format, it contains smaller roster of characters and, finally, focus would be put on two most popular characters that majority of people associate with Mortal Kombat (Sub Zero and Scorpion). Only changes that I would make would be: 1. removal of 3 out of 4 temples (because covering each one of them would take too much time), probably either remove elemental gods altogether (except Fujin) or have Sub Zero fight all 4 of them at the same time; 2. would probably cut Kia and Jataaka (because they aren't really that important) to put more focus on Sub Zero's relationship with Sareena; 3. have Shinnok tag along with Sub Zero during his trip through Netherrealm, probably by having him use fake alias or something like that; 4. have a side story focusing on Scorpion's resurrection. In this version, Quan Chi won't be the one who resurrects him, but he will be the one to fuel him with extra rage; 5. final battle would be tag battle between Sub Zero and Sareena on one side and Scorpion and Quan Chi on the other one; 6. the ending with Shinnok would play out pretty much the same way it did in the game, but we will also find out that the reason he didn't interfere during the climactic fight was because he wanted to put Quan Chi, who becomes way too overconfident for Shinnok's liking throughout the movie and whom Shinnok suspects might be plotting against him, in his place, while also wanting to see Sub Zero's full power at display, showing the will to turn him into his servant (as a nod to Noob Saibot); 7. I would also give small cameos to Kuai Liang, Sektor, Cyrax and Smoke, maybe even Drahmin and Moloch. I think that that movie would be at least better than Annihilation.

[@mkdemigodzillawarrior]

Yeah I have to agree: Mortal Kombat really needs to be a TV show.

[@VigilantKnight005]

If only we fans could band together for something like this. A few of us could write the dialogue, we would seek out martial artists inspired by the games for the stunts and maybe the acting as well, assign one designer each for one character's costumes, assign one person each to lead the designing of one type of background, and bring in choreographers for convincing fights. Granted, the fandom is toxic and we'd have reasons to hate each other. If only we fans could do it, NRS would know the army's full strength and we will unleash hell.

[@serhibei]

I've been thinking about a TV show being the best possible media for MK for a long time now. I think that it's the only right way to do it now, with almost a hundred of playable characters (and even more, if you include unplayable ones). I like your ideas and the desire to keep everything as close to the events of all the games as possible. I have my own ideas for such TV show, although if I were the one to do it I would take more liberties and would often combine storylines from two or more games into one season (season 1 - MK1 with the elements of Mythologies and Special Forces; season 2 - starting from the events of MK2 and then switching to MK3 for the second half of the season; season 3 - MK4 and Deadly Alliance; season 4 - Armageddon and MKX with it's new generation of fighters; season 5 - Deception and some elements of MK11; season 6 - continuing with the leftover elements of Deception and MK11 and finishing the story with FIre God Liu Kang fighting Dark Raiden (or resurrected Shang Tsung), who is slowly becoming the Avatar for the One Being threatening the existence of the whole universe). I've got a more detailed outline, but it's a) way too long for a comment, and b) in Russian and therefore requires translation.

[@constructivecriticism2568]

The fourth film can loosely adapt Deadly Alliance, the fifth movie can adapt MKX, and the sixth movie can be a completely original story to wrap up everything.

In my pitch, he would spend the first 10-13 years of his life with his mother, who was a teacher at a school found in the Matokan Reservation, meaning Johnny and Nightwolf (or Grey Cloud ig cause he wouldn't be Nightwolf yet at this point) would be childhood friends, and that link will be what brings Nightwolf into the Defenders of Earthrealm . After Johnny's mother died, his estranged father would get his custody and take him to Hollywood. Johnny being born on Matokan land would also by my in story explanation as to why he's the first one of his family line in centuries that could access his green energy powers.

I need this to be real I’d watch the fuck out if it

Holy shit this would be absolutely amazing

Gotta say, I love the idea of MKX continuing the Armageddon storyline. Given that we never know who died until the next game, you can kill whoever needs to be dead and keep alive whoever still is to fit MKX. Also, the fact that you dont mention Shinok past the MKX season and Kronica is not even in the picture, makes me think Shinok dies at the end of the season, fixing the plothole of an immortal being sending a doppleganger to battle to avoid death. Brilliant.

This needs to be made a series,

[@onewingedakuma6835]

That is actually a great idea

You know an MK universe can be stretched out as movies in form of 3 trilogies. One for prequels, One for Side quest, and One for the Main events. I have imagined the storyline based on previous games n movies.

The only problem I see with this is that no shows ever get 10 seasons nowadays, but soft endings at certain points are a good idea to offset that. It sounds like what happened to Futurama except intentionally

[@obrians-brown1307]

I wish great fortune on you so you can carry out this dream

[@Keyofshadow13]

SOMEONE, GET THIS MAN A FUCKING BUDGET! This show would honestly be AMAZING
