>>214148518>>Fight 5: Jax VS. Jade. Jade wins.black kween
Why don't make a movie from scratch? Nobody remembers MK 2020.They are only bringing OC Donut Steel to kill him which is the only thing carried over from the previous movie.>Kitana lead>Quan Chi writingFFS just make one of the animated movies a theatrical release.This is so dumb.
>>214148518>Raiden spends most of the movie consulting with the Elder GodsAt least they're trying to be a little more accurate.
I was under the impression that Cole died in the film but came back from the dead. You have to be very careful with this kind of thing because you risk alienating people who liked the first movie and end up making a movie that doesn't really please anybody.
>give us donut steel Cole in the first movie because the retards writing the movie thought Johnny Cage was the main character and didn't want a white guy being the lead>make Cage the lead in the sequel anyway and have him cuck Liu KangWhat the fuck are they doing
>>214148518I know no one cares about Cole, but still surprised they just killed the guy. All that shit about protecting his family and being Scorpion's lineage in the first movie and just sidelined and killed off in this one?
>>214148518Boring without the gory fatalities. Everyone is supposed to die except for one fighter. That's why it's called Mortal Kombat.
All they needed to do from the start was have Scorpion be the main character. It was that easy.
>>214149430This whole series of movies could have worked like the mostly silent samurai jack episodes.Just have the assassin guys do a thing and they fight until the movie ends and they end up doing the thi g one way or another.
>>214148518I just want to see my nigga Kung Lao again...
>no smokeI don’t care.
so no sub-zero?
>>214148518>No nut punch>No younger Sub-Zero>Quan Chi has nothing to do with Scorpion >Kitana doesn't redeem Sindel>Lyu Kang doesn't defeat Shao KhanOne job, one fucking job.
So...are these movies operating completely independently of the established lore from the actual games? It is like they know what they "should" do, took it into consideration, and then went "yeah...but what if we did THIS instead?"
>johnny cage is way too old>jade is some bald woke bitch>scorpion wears some wizard hoodie with no yellow color coding>sub zero isnt sub zero>mileenas design is butchered>kano is a good guyFuck this movie
>Raiden spends most of the movie consulting with the Elder Godslmao. actually laughed irl. https://youtu.be/nfCrV9SIc4E
Their version of Raiden is so lame and gay compared to the one from the 90s movie.
>>214150421>Make Raiden mcfucking highlander>Liu Kang is a chad even as a fish out of water>Johnny is a wisecracking badass, but out of touchthe 90s movie will never be beaten and that is sad because they could tell amazing stories if they tried.
>>214148518>>Movie ends with Earthrealm victorious and Quan Chi escaping after swearing revenge. Cage, Sonya, Kitana, Jade and Kano hold a candlelight vigil for their fallen comrades when Raiden appears and says there is a way to bring them back, setting up a sequel.I think I'd kinda like Cole Young as a poochie character if they brought him back as a revenant. just for shits and giggles.
>>214148518Not interested in a sequel to something as bad as MK 2020. (I'm not even into the games or anything, the movie just looked amateur shit, couldn't take 20 minutes of it)
>>214151037I caught it late one night on tv and it took me about 10 minutes to realize this was supposed to be Mortal Kombat.
>>214151019Letting the actor ham it up as an evil campy edge-lord might be the only way to semi salvage the character. And at least would give something better for Lewis Tan to work with.
>>214149802Kind of. They're arbitrarily picking from the OG lore, the reboot lore, and chopping in their own lore into one big hybrid of bullshit
>>214148518>consulting with the Elder Gods
Why didn't they just adapt Mortal Kombat Deception or remake the Kung Lao TV Show in high quality? That would be actual kino instead of this fanfiction.
>>214148518>Cole Young is sidelinedThis is all I needed to read. So funny that they tried to make their bland MC work.
>>214149802Mortal Kombat more or less took a big multiverse direction in recent years which sorta allowed them to make all media canon while all media doesn't have to follow 1-1 the stuff the games do and just pick and choose what they want to take and do with it.It's the same crux they've been using with the direct to dvd animated films as of late as well.I wouldn't be surprised if they manage to get a third film out of this they end up pulling the along the lines same twist in the Snow Blind movie where it's revealed Kano won the tournament, killed Kronika and took her Hourglass to rule as the god of that universe.
>>214149501You seriously think kino like that would get past the dozen of execs who meddle with this stuff?
>>214148518No Mileena? Wack
>>214149430You literally got that with the animated movie.
>jax stays taking Ls all movie>Kang barely does anything in the back ground save win one quick pity fight before literally getting flashed out of existence Lmao. You know they really wanted to just flat out kill him there but someone with a brain told them people would riot... So instead of flat out killing him they gave him some magical disappearance lol
>>214149501Art like that has no place in modern vidya adaptations. It would be incredible if done right, but it would never, ever happen.
>>214148518>Cole Young, Liu Kang, Shang Tsung and RaidenWorst characters of the first movie Replace with girl power half asian kitana. So ugly. They got 2 ugly women from chilling adventures of sabrina.Kano I thought would be brought back for a better role. He seems like a nothingburger here which sucks,The arcana was a good idea. Sidelining it is a mistake.This is reminding me of Michael bays ninja turtles. The first one was so offensively bad they get more faithful but it's still awful
>>214149430Instead they cast that charisma vacuum midget and put him in ugly samurai gear. Worst scorpion ever
Buddy cop type of movie is so fucking easy to make. Just have Liu and Cage be friends and fighting their way through shit. They were based on Bruce Lee and Jean Claude. They are the stars. C'mon. Wisecracking Asian guy and Awkward white guy. You already have the formula because Jackie Chan made a career out of it.
>>214148518>>Fight 12: Kitana VS. Shao Kahn. Kitana wins by stabbing Kahn’s eyes outs, avengYAAASSS QWEEN SLAY
>>214151423>The arcana was a good idea. Lmao no it wasn't you retard. Everyone hated it and they realized the mistake. Literally why they are dumping it. Midichlorian tier
They betrer do some good ass fatalities to make up for the piss poor bullshit from the first one
>>214151492>Just have Liu and Cage be friends and fighting their way through shitYou already got that dumbass. And it won't be topped. Their chemistry was perfect
>>214151540Name what was wrong with it? Keeps powers contained to select few and each person's arcana represents them
>>214148792>you risk alienating people who liked the first movienobody liked cole.
>>214151601Lmao is this actually one of the retarded execs that fought for that stupid shit in the first movie? How hard are you seething it was outright rejected and now being ignored? Did you try consulting on it again?
>no fictional women were injured in the production of this movieRyona chads, we're starving again
>>214148792Oh no cole young sisters, did you hear the news??? The three of us in this group are going to be very unhappy when this movie comes out...
>>214151638I thought arcana was a bold and cool choice, you just hate women
>>214151683im returning my cole young objekts right this second
>>214148728Yeah but then he went after Quan Chi & Shang Tsung alone & whooped their ass most of the fight. Midway Raiden was kino
