>>220268946
>whatever you say, Jack. You're the master race.

It's true. The master race was so supreme that the producers had to break the forth wall and toss the lore of the story and morality of the main character out of the window just for one poorly thought out deleted scene.

Apparently, Bridgette Wilson couldn't do fight choreography for shit, that's why Sonya only has one fight.

Cole Young dies at the very start of the movie and nobody cares. Jax and Liu Kang die in the finale, although Liu Kang becomes a new god in place of Raiden. Kitana wins the MK tournament and kills Shao Kahn.

Mortal Kombat then:
>actors cast because they resemble the characters and actually have screen presence
>Asian characters cast as Asian-American actors that spoke clear English and had charisma and chemistry with the other actors
>actors shoot on location on a tropical island
>actors all undergo rigorous martial arts training
>most characters have minimal backstory so actors and writers are forced to come up with personality traits to make them distinguishable, leading to portrayals that influenced the game characters forever
>vibe is light and pleasant despite the source material being dark and controversially edgy because the production team is having too much fun to hide it
>producers and writers have enough faith in their viewers to drip feed them the plot organically through a lovable fish out of water character from the games

Mortal Kombat now:
>actors cast because they are the same race as the character (unless intentionally race swapped for Finkbux)
>Asian characters cast as fresh off the boat chinks that can barely speak English and don't even seem like they're in the same movie. Seriously, can you remember a single thing Raiden or Shang Tsung said or did in MK2021?
>actors shoot on a green screen on possibly physically interact once
>actors have no martial arts training and no intention of undertaking any, fights are just obvious doubles
>characters now have elaborate backstories and relationships within the game universe that are retconned or completely ignored for convenience
>new characters like iron skin man are completely ignored by games and canon
>vibe is lazy, poorly lit edge despite having fifteen times the budget, a hard-R rating, and twenty years of game lore to pull from

GOAT video game movie

The one thing I really hate about 1995 MK is Scorpion and Sub-Zero being random mooks for Shang Tsung, while in reality, they are way more interesting than that. That's one thing new movies do better than the old one.
>>
>>220283249
Tadanobu Asano (aka, that shithead Yabushige from Shogun) is absolutely wasted on Raiden, because he's actually a very good actor that has nothing to do here.
At least Hiroyuki Sanada is having fun.
But I feel both of those actors were wasted.
>>
>>220283271
I thought it was badass that he had those two as his slave muscle. Made shang tsung even cooler. Scorpion and Sub zero, deadliest of enemies.
>>
>>220269042
I still think the MK9 interations were the best depictions of each character, both in terms of personality and looks, but I wish Raiden had a touch of that Lambert whimsy in him.

So what was that plot point about Shang Tsung being fixated on trying to fight Sonya of all people, to the point of kidnapping her and dressing her up in cute outfits?

Annihilation has Smoke, Sektor, Ermac, Noob Saibot, Rain, Baraka, Mileena and Sheeva and we don't know who they are and what their deal is, because they are just there as cannon fodder.
As a Smoke fan, I was disappointed.

anyone seen the vid on yutub where there's an obnoxious 50 year old highlander fan that is forcing a 70 year old Christopher Lambert to repeat lines from the film just so he can get it on video.
the "fan"/leech is saying them in horrible ohoneticly memorised french.
>il yar soolmont un, now - now you say it, say it, say it, say the line, say it, say it in French, say it, say it.
while Christopher Lambert looks exhausted following his cancer problems.

MK11, despite some flaws is likely the last good MK.
The new one just doesn't jibe that well.

MK 11 has awful Kitana and idiotic plot that goes nowhere. But at least Liu Kang finally gets to do something.

Yeah, but in terms of gameplay, overall cast of characters and guest appearances, it's still good.
Out of the new ones, MK9 was the peak, and it's slowly been downhill ever since.
>>
>>220294388
MK9 was peak, because it was essentailly an MK Trilogy on nuclear steroids, with every single character from the classic games + a handful of new ones making a playable appearance. I hate how the later games forgot about Reptile or Smoke.
>>
>>220294476
As the series progressed, Reptile became something of a jobber. In the MK1 days, he was a super-secret character more dangerous than Scorpion and Sub-Zero, and in MKT through UMK3 he had some of the best combos.
>>
>>220294565
Semi-hot take. It would've been so much cooler if D'Vorah's role was given to Reptile. D'Vorah was hated specifically because she was this literal who that wad running around killing beloved characters. I think if it was Reptile, not many people would've cared, because he himself is a beloved character and used to be a badass back in the day.

He didn’t pay for the production but he was still a cool guy

>Director Paul W.S. Anderson credits Christopher Lambert for smoothing over his first job on a big movie. Lambert, a veteran of several Hollywood blockbusters, never got overwhelmed by the large scale of the production, and his laid-back attitude positively influenced the other, less-experienced people on the set. Even Ed Boon, co-creator of the original video game, admitted that Lambert did a great job, despite not being Asian like the character's depiction in the game. Since Lambert was the most expensive actor on set, the production could only afford him for a few weeks of close-ups in an LA studio; a stand-in would be used for the wide shots filmed in Thailand. However, Lambert believed that the movie would be better if it was him all the time, so he came to Thailand for no extra charge (no doubt to the chagrin of his agent and managers). He even paid for the wrap party afterwards.

>I think he used to emphasize the voice to hide his accent.
Yeah, he's definitely doing something with it, because it does not sound natural when he speaks. It's like he's trying to sound like a tough guy when he speaks.

Thailand location filming was almost over when they found the plantation and thought it looked incredible. They had some film left but basically no time, so they put together the first part of the fight and planned to show it to executive producers when they got back and ask for more money to finish the sequence.

This worked out well since the test screenings indicated they needed more fight scenes, so they were given the budget for two more sequences. There wasn't enough to go back for a location shoot though, so the transition to hell was added instead. The other scene was the Reptile fight in Outworld, which was why that suddenly moved indoors and Johnny Cage just vanished.

One of the few cases where studio executives were completely behind the project and helped it succeed.

Since when is Raiden an old white guy with long white hair? He presents more as a Gandalf than a buff Lightning God. He doesn't even fight in either of the two movies.
>>
>>220303916
He doesn't fight because of the rules. In the games it's mostly handwaved. He's not in MK3 cuz he can't leave earthrealm to go to our world

he does fight though retardo

He's technically replaced by Johnny Cage. But Cage is not even a main character in the upcoming film. That's Kitana and the trailers did a very good job hiding that fact.

>Liu Kang becomes a new god in place of Raiden
this nigger is lying.
liu kang dies, but promises to bring back kung lao. he doesn't "die", he transforms into a fire dragon and disappears, presumably into the netherrealm.
raiden is still the earthrealm god by the end of the movie.

>>220283139
>Sounds just like the trash
reptile died in the last film.
story is paper thin along with the characters. either you get more story or more fighting, and this film chose way more fighting.
it's the best live action mk adaptation.
imo, one of the best live action video game adaptations (though this isn't saying much since it's just sonic and detective pikachu on top).

I do like the explanation how Kitana managed to beat Shao Kahn. It actually makes a lot of sense, given that Shao Kahn in this movie is a filthy cheater with a god mode on courtesy of Quan Chi.

don't know what explanation that is.
my headcanon is that when shinnok's amulet was destroyed, cole's fatal wound to shao khan became unhealed.
whatever, it's kitana's revenge arc. she's supposed to win.

I dunno which kharacter was cheaper, Raiden with his stupid superman move or Kung Lao with his tornado twirl.
I think I always liked Kitana the most.

Not them, but yes, it's really worth a watch, especially now in the Palantir hell we find ourselves within

I used to spam the FUCK out of Raiden's Superman ability. I also loved spamming Reptile's acid spit ability.

Is that why there are MK threads lately? Not anons enjoying some nostalgia, but just more plain ass marketing? I wont watch. I will rewatch the movie the theeads were about instead because it was made when movies were allowed, by producers/writers/casting, to be good.
