Watch Mortal Kombat II.
>>220408407for me, it's when jade outright implied she's a pillow princess
>>220408610Even if you don't like Kitana beating Kahn, you have to admit that this was kino.
>>220408500Who cares she ugly
>>220408407Does Jax make everything woke and found Wakanda like he does in his MK11 ending?
>>220408761Jax gets killed by Shao Khan.
>>220408407PIT SLUT
>>220408407I did. I'm honestly not sure what I think about it.
>>220408407No mileena with her fucked up teeth = no thanks. Kitana is fucking boring.
>>220408831Mileena is also a nigger
>>220408831Sonya killed her in the first one.
>>220408407Was the first one good as well? completely went under my radar
>>220408859It was shit.
>>220408859First one is ok, it was gorier and had more splatter which I liked and Mileena, Kabal, Goro, and Reptile are in it. Other than that, second one clears in every way. I do wish they wouldn't have killed off Mileena in the first one so she could've been in this one and fought Kitana.
>>220408873>>220408910Thanks anons
>>220408407I just did, it was fantastic. I love that they picked up where the last one left off and how it felt like an actual games storyline. Highly recommend it.
>>220408859It's alright. It has a generic character in it who's not in the games finding his power which was gay and annoying but everyone else in it is great. Definitely worth the watch just to be able to continue into 2 which is way better.
>>220408720She grew up in a dystopian hellworld that even a psycho like Kano didn't want to live in, at least she ate well and trained well.
>>220408665Looks like a Hellraiser or Evil Dead scene.
>>220408407Sorry, I'm white. I have no interest in slop made for the chinese.
>>220408831There was Baraka's race here. Johnny Cage was grossed out by their horrible teeth even in children, they were funny.
>>220409998Who cares she ugly
i've got a one movie a year deal, and this year it'll be Street Fighter
Killing off oc-kun early was a great choice.
It was kind of boring. A lot of the actors are no personality asians just standing around. Not enough funny johnny cage moments. Too many KWEEN SLAY moments and other uninteresting scenes to promote poc. Also I am glad I didn't pay for it but instead pirated it. I would be very mad if I had actually paid for a ticket.
>>220410886Street Fighter looks much, much worse than Mortal Kombat 2. At least MK2 seemed like it had some redeeming qualities in the preview but it ended up being dog shit.
Another issue with this film is you really seemed to need to go in knowing MK lore because almost nothing is explained. The film seems shorter than it should be and very rushed. They could never get the pacing right.
>>220411033>Movie expects you to know the lore of the game it's aboutNo shit
>>220411138I know some of the characters but I didn't follow 30+ years of games and then they took artistic license with it like giving some generic samurai Scorpion's spear chain move which it seems they did a few times over and completely confuses things.
>>220408407i watched for Butcher with no beard mate
>>220411183I guess he was scorpion but he didn't look like scorpion. Somehow you were suppose to know the real name of Scorpion. I didn't think he had one.
>>220411229Scorpion's name has been known since MKII.
It will be a hit in China. A bunch of emotionless Asian automatons doing kung fu with a gossamer thin almost nonexistent story.
>>220411255So Scorpion's real name has been known since the movie that was just released. Cool cool.....very cool
>>220411255Game nerds reading the manuals like they're novels instead of playing the game. Probably knows their blood types too.
>>220411274It bombed in China.
>>220408407I'm sometimes tempted, but then I remember they turned Jade from the hottest bitch in the series into an ugly bald monkey and lose all interest.
>>220411626You gay, son.
>>220408407
>>220411644>>220411658
>>220411287The game that came out 33 years ago
Glad to see her get a decent role for once
>>220411633The gays are the people who see nothing wrong with this.
>>220411692I don't care about this character or this actress
>>220411692Yes.
>>220409656>I just did, it was fantastic. I love that they picked up where the last one left off and how it felt like an actual games storyline. Highly recommend it.Wow, this post sounds like genuine human speech and not astroturfed at all!
>>220411703>I don't care about characters in a movieOkay? Fuck off then. Just go kill yourself. The movie is fucking shit because the character looks ugly.
>>220411726>>I don't care about charactersI did not say that. Why did you make up a fake quote to respond to?
>>220408407so..where's Sindel in all of this? they didnt leave her out, did they?
>>220411743with mesorry to disappoint you
>>220411708Would both
>>220411692They're called shills and sois, Anon.
>>220411743She's in it for about 10 minutes total. Also the actress who plays looks the same age as Kitana when she's supposed to be her mom.
>>220408407Nice pits. Face is penis though
THERE'S TWO AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
>>220411817Edenians live for a long time
>>220411830Sure but Sindel looks visibly older in the games.
>>220411828Sex
>>220411692That's the ugly bitch /v/ keeps meming
>>220411817To be fair, that Sindel we meet in the game is a mindless zombie that Shao Kahn keeps for his own amusement. I suppose it makes sense she doesn't age.Also, the movie ditches that "Edenians live for hundreds of thousands of years" plot. It's explicitly told that the conquest of Edenia happened 20 years ago.
>>220411780Well..those are some bold arguments you've brandished, scoundrel. Tell me..if MY wife is with you, then how do you explain this picture? Well..you CANT!! you are a liar and a fraud!
>>220408665I like that he was actually beating the shit out of her for 90% of the fight and only got defeated due to his own dumb mistakes that Kitana exploited.
>>220411658perfect
>>220408407I liked it. Overall I'd say MK '95 is still the best, but this was an improvement over the '21 flick and I'd watch the next one. It's time to bring in Kuai Liang though.
>>220411692The fuck is this G.I. Jade crap?Jade is supposed to be like the hottest chick in this franchise. What a horrible travesty...
>>220413055This.
>>220411692>>220412204And to think she will be getting an entire video game.
>>220413426wew
kitana gave strong agp vibes
>>220414034What the fuck does that even mean?
>>220414102It means all the retards celebrating her girlboss shit in this movie are trannies, simps or both.
>>220414102You know all those articles over the years about rapist teachers. They use her in their age gap rape fantasies. They see her as a "mommy." agp stands for age gap play. It is a sexual fetish like someone playing the toddler and the other partner the "mommy"It is just this generation's way of saying milf.
Pretty damn good movie, can't wait for the next.
>>220414120>>220414177I see, thanks for the explanation.
>>220414177Lol. It stands for AutoGynePhilia.
>>220414034she cute
>>220411274MK has never been relevant outside NA and most especially Asia.
>THIS IS KATANA
>>220408407>boring as fuck lore>generic stories that they have rewritten several times already in the past 10 years >"DUDE GORE LMAO!'>diluted their integrity as a brand with overuse of cross over slop (lol Terminator, Rambo, Robocop ect)>started injecting woke light slop into their stories with random characters being gay for no reason other than to score cheap lib points>removes sexuality of all the female characters for more feminist pointsMortal Kombat sucks shit
>>220411692Incorrect. Slutty Kitana, Jade and Mileena are gay icons and a traditional Halloween costume for The Gays, thank you.
>>220411692sexy girl erasure comes mainly from ugly, frumpy, 37 year old women who are sexually insecure about sexy female characters. Hot women genuinely love being hot and love hot fictional characters. Even sexy women who arent into nerd stuff at all love characters like Katana, Jessica Rabbit, Lara Croft specifically because they are sexy. You never ever see them cosplaying or dressing up as the desexified version of these characters for a reason
>>220411274>Japanese actors>none of them dieChina will fucking hate it.
Not one moron kombat fighting game is good.
>>220410991>piratedGot any magnet links handy can't seem to find it on any trackers
>>220411692I was going to say this could be improved if she bothered to wear a hairpiece but she'd still have that god-awful Jango Fett looking face.
>>220411708>will wear a bundle of rope on her head to pretend she has hair in day to day life>won't wear a shitty wig for a movie to play an established character who has hair when acting
>>220415368>fucked up her face with those gay lips in MK10>reduced to DLC in MK11 and had no good outfits, not even the classic MK2 ninja outfits that all of the other girls got (even Skarlet, who wasn't even in MK until 9)>turned into some ugly 40-year old asian spinster in MK1Being a Mileena main is suffering.
>>220415291Aside from Street Fighter it's easily the most recognizable fighting game
>>220415573Just make her a psycho slut, thats her entire appeal
>>220415387Would.
>>220415634In the US, maybe.
>>220411692
do zoomers even play or know about MK?figured it was a fundamentally 90s franchise with maybe a few reprisals in the early 00s that just fizzled into the void amidst the multiple subsequent ones that dominate today
>>220415678lol, how does someone work on their rendering so much when they haven't even brushed up on basic anatomy
>>220415872The movie is aimed at millennials and when I went it was almost entirely millennials. I'm born in '96 and was one of the younger people there.
>>220411718Sorry I enjoy things and I'm not miserable 24/7 like other people anon.
>>220411743She's in it, has a pretty cool fight with sonya although she kind of overspams her scream instead of actually fighting that much. Has a nice stage fatality.
>>220415872zoomers only know and care about gay shit and trans shit. If it's not some gay streamer transmaxxing or whatever they're not into it.
>>220411669>actually attractive Asian woman is cast in a Hollywood productionWhat happened?
>>220417152She looks like the Asian version of Margot Robbie. Seriously who the fuck cast her? White bitches are gonna seethe
>>220417163>Seriously who the fuck cast her?Me, you're welcome.
>>220415456The old Sega Gen games are kino though

>>220417640Ends with? That's what the whole plot of the first movie is and the beginning of this movie is continuing. The end is actually "we gotta get the team back together" trope. MK3 is gonna be an oceans style heist from the nether realm for the fallen fighters.

>>220419252kimiko looks so different irl
>>220408610She beat him in the games too, so whatever. It honestly makes more narrative sense than Liu Kang's generic Chosen One shit. The 1995 movie did it right by giving Liu Kang a personal reason to go after Shang Tsung.
>>220420074She beat him in ONE game you fucking shill retard! Liu Kang beat him in the others! God you're fucking dumb!
>>220420101Liu Kang also died to Shang and Quan Chi and again to Raiden in MK9. He was a zombie/revenant for most of his existence. Liu Kang hasn't been the protagonist of this series since 1997.
>>220420101>the othersThose being? Because MK9 was Raiden vs Kahn at the end, and Liu Kang was dead for the entire 3D trilogy. There's a lot more MK games than just MK2 and 3.
They should have cast her instead
i watched it last night. it wasnt bad it was good. but it could have been better had they spent more time on it. it was very bloody though
>>220420247>it was very bloody thoughMortal Kombal is...bloody?
>>220420332yeah it went to far. i understand a little blood and gore but yeah it was real gory
>>220420350Mortal Kombat is based around being gory. That's its thing.
>>220420160>There's a lot more MK games than just MK2 and 3.But apparently not more than just MK11? How convenient, you fucking hypocrite.
>>220415411>ugly, frumpy, 37 year old womenthe core demographic of every anti-sex movement lol
>>220420247Compilations of MK11's fatalities on youtube are always done on characters with green or blue blood because they actually got auto-flagged on release for gore content doing them on the normal characters. It's a gory series that's only gotten gorier with time.
>>220420491>But apparently not more than just MK11?...what?
>>220410558Gabrielle is gonna be bald in everything out of spite now
believe it not seeing street fighter trailer in theater for this movie made the whole experience better. you do get a little bet more fun going to the theater then watching it at home
>>220408610Only faggots and fag hags watch this femi garbage. Fucking pathetic.
>>220420491You're the one who keeps acting as though the hero of every MK is Liu Kang and the villain of every MK is Shao Kahn. He's been the main villain of THREE games. MK 2, 3 and 9.
>>220420136>>220420160>>220420551>Appeal to BUT THE GAMES>Oh, the games where Liu Kang wins? Uhhh... not those games!>The one game Kitana wins? Yeah, that one!>The games where Johnny isn't pathetic? No, not those either!>The games full of girlboss shit? Yeah, those!Fucking simp cucks
>>220420597Samefag
>>220420588fag
>>220420101>in the others!Which ones? Since you're a huge fan
Anyone who went to see this in theaters can easily sue the studio for false advertising and win.
what was surprising was how funny kano was.
>>220420602It's awfully convenient how you appeal to the games for Kitana's girlboss shit while anything that has men accomplish anything should be ignored. Because you're a worthless simp faggot. Pathetic.
>>220420645>>220420606>>220420491Stop having a meltdown dude
>>220420615Fuck you faggot.>>220420606>"Hollywood" only produces girl boss faggot movies>No this one is different!>Original has some fag hag beat a aussie bro>SEE!YOU ARE GAY
>>220420665ywnbaw
>>220420642Why is that surprising? It's Kano.
>>220420645As long as Adeline Rudolph continues to play Kitana, I will continue to simp for her and her character. Simple as.
>>220420538the fatalities in this game were very hit or miss but that one was pretty good sound wise
>>220420645It was pointed out it has occurred in the games. Thus it is not without precedent. Anything else is you just making up shit no one said and whining. If Liu Kang beat him, that too would have precedence. No one said otherwise. But you're acting like every MK game consists of Liu Kang as the hero and Shao Kahn as the villain, when that really just applies to MK 2 and 3, in a series with twelve main games.
>>220411692Jesus this bitch is gross.
>Useless white male archetypePass
>>220420681was he funny in the first one? never seen it.
>>220411708Asian bitch has a legit man face. Disgusting. I think its a tranny

>>220420802No he doesn't. Say it again and I will sue WB's marketing offices for false advertising, because it's dead obvious you have financial incentive to post.
>>220408610Is he ok?
hopefully the film was popular enough for a 3rd one
>>220420858Kek. Dream on.
>>220420873Opened to 40 million domestically. Keep seething.
Who dies in this? Any original legacy characters?
>>220420873gemini says Yes, there is absolutely going to be a 3rd one. Warner Bros. actually greenlit Mortal Kombat 3 back in late 2025, months before the second movie even hit theaters. They were reportedly so confident in the test screenings for MK2 that they signed screenwriter Jeremy Slater to start on the script for the third installment immediately.
>>220411692I keep forgetting she's in this. She's like a paranormal creature that wipes herself from my mind when I stop looking at her.
>>220420886That second weekend dropoff to 10k is going to be embarrassing.
>>220420802>>220420825But he was on a team that did something 4v1 against a guy who wasn't even the main villain so the girlboss could solo the main villain!
>>220420893Silent, indefinite hold. Just watch and see.
>>220420858What can They do if most of the big name good guys are dead, and the tournament is done
>>220411708What the fuck is that thing on the right
>>220420890>Who dies in this? Any original legacy characters?Liu Kang loses like a bitch and dies to show you how superior Kitana is to him and every other male character.
>>220420781I don't recall the film enough, but he was funny in the original film, and he's funny in the games.
>>220420890Jax, Liu Kang, Sindel, Kung Lao, Shao Kahn, Noob SaibotIf they make a third one, then the ending of this sets up the remaining fighters to go to the Netherrealm with Quan Chi to revive them.
>>220420820That's his opinion, that he prefers it. He didn't say it's without precedence, in fact he said the complete opposite.
>>220420858The budget is 80 million, it's doing fine
>>220408407Why did they make Baraka a Marvel character? I haven't played an MK since 9, but Baraka was always portrayed as extremely intimidating and scary. Is he like this in the new ones?
>a year later>not one post about the bending rubber teeth
>>220420960Why do you simps prefer anything that emasculates men to prop up girlboss women?
>>220421034Because they're paid to, dumbass.
>>220408407The Kung Lao Liu Kang fight was kino. Wish that Liu Kang was in it more.
>>220420904>>220420873>>220420825These kinds of seething, gritted teeth meltdowns are always so embarrassing to read. Have a little dignity will you?
>>220421034Why are you ignoring that you were wrong?
>>220420977>was always portrayed asAn absolute fucking jobber?
>>220421072It's SFjeets knowing that the Street Fighter movie is going to flop compared to Mortal Kino II.
>>220421097He wasn't depicted as some wholesome chungus character.
>>220420977Why do you hate the Drinker? why do you hate fun? This movie is finally something we've been asking for and you are complaining
>>220421062>Wish that Liu Kang was in it more.He was in it to lose and show you how superior women are to men.
If you're a real MK fan you wouldn't bat an eye at Liu Kang getting shafted. That's just kind of his thing by now.
Props for "Rock You Like a Hurricane".
>>220421169Are you just sitting in this thread whining at everyone?
>>220421174>Only male feminist simps are the REAL MK fans!Absolutely fucking pathetic. Fucking cuck retard.
I dunno if /tv/ is legit upset so much about Kitana winning the tournament, is shitposting or is deliberately rage-baiting.
>>220421250it's pretty transparently one guy spamming
>>220421122dont expect kino like this in this film. however its good enough.
>>220421250Reading this thread convinced to not go watch the movie. The trailers and the marketing are all about Johnny Cage, and some trailers even show plenty of Liu Kang despite the actor playing being a nobody.Kitana is just there in the trailer doing nothing, but apparently she is the actual protagonist with a story that get to take down Shao Kahn. Fuck this marketing bullshit trying to trick the audiences.
>[THING] BAD BECAUSE [THING] NOT LIKE MK9!fuck MK9, fuck any "muh MK9" non-arguments, any argument going "muh MK9 design" is just a gooner or secondary who's first game was MK9you don't see people comparing newer designs from games/films to MK1/2/3/4/Deadly Alliance/Deception/Armageddon (or mythologies...), its ALWAYS "muh MK9 design!"fuck you, deception alt jade is her best design and they did that animation where she slaps her ass
>>220421451MK9 is the best one.
>>220421250They made it seem like Johnny Cage was the main character and then did a bait and switch into a feminist fairytale. The preview was misleading. Should have put more stock in that article in which the director cried about Mortal Kombat lacking female representation so he was going to correct that and Johnny Cage was portrayed by the limp dick from The Boys. It is just a The Boys-ification of Mortal Kombat.
>>220421472Is it?
>>220421312
>>220420938>>220421034>>220421169Why are you pushing this shit so hard. I feel like this is a weak false flag straw man to get people to actually like the movie because you sound like such a little bitch. This movies sucked but not for woke reasons. I think if anything you were saying were true then The Critical Drinker would be all over it but he loved MK2 which means he's not a chud just an alcohol-fried-brained faggot
>>220421451>deception alt jade is her best designlol no
1. does noob die in the movie2. how many fights does he lose3. is he still a jobber
>>220421507>The Critical DrinkerWho the fuck cares about that retard.
>>220421512>yeah lets just turn the black woman whitetrash design as it's ruined porn and fanart, it took until 11 to somewhat fix that
>>220421507>This movies sucked but not for woke reasonsLook at Jade and tell me that's not woke shit>b-but the gamesYes the games are also woke shit
>>220421507He doesn't actually care about this, he just wants his Thing of the Week to pretend rage about
>>220421533>Edenians>black lol lmao even
I feel like it was a bait and switch, setting up Cage to be the MC but replacing it with a post wall lesbo
>>220421517Pretty much everyone agrees this movie was amazing including him which I think rounds out the evidence that the only people who don't like this movie are either just complete shit posters or weird trannies who hate fun and well written movies with action and violence
>>220421072I do have dignity. I have the dignity not to waste time or money watching anti-white, anti-male propaganda. I also know not to bump shill theeads.
>>220421449It is funny how much they prefer their female and minority casting in the film but they have zero personality and seem like they have zero acting experience. It is as if they are cardboard cutouts whose only purpose is to nostalgia bait.
>>220421563ywnbaw, troon. not watching this. attempting lazy reverse psychology like that will not work, either.
>>220421573I hope the Street Fighter movie doesn’t pull the same stunt, focusing the plot just on Ryu and Ken with some great moments for Guile and Chun-Li. If it ends up being all about Chun-Li, I’ll do what I’m doing now and just ignore it.
>>220421556uh yeah?
>>220408407As someone who has always loved Kitana and Mileena, the bait and switch was fine with me. The movie was good. But why did this series ever have to lose the sex appeal? Do women really care about their outfits from this franchise of all things? I dunno how it happened but I feel like Mortal Kombat was the last thing that had to appeal to feminists.
>>220421484Yes
Kitana had to be the one to kill him, why? look at what he did to her father in the beginning
>>220421644Wasn't Kitana supposed to just be Liu Kang's love interest, the one who gets him to care about the stuff going on in the Otherworld and helps him infiltrate and save the day?
>>220421605Show me where Africa is in Edenia. >>220421608>But why did this series ever have to lose the sex appeal?Boon is a simp.
>>220421580So the Drinker is using reverse psychology by agreeing with me?? Are you okay?
It's rumored that MK3 is going to feature Rain.Does anyone care about Rain?But I guess Rain is a good pick if you want to challege Kitana, so that she doesn't sit on her ass the entire sequel being a queen.
>>220421514Not really, it took 3 or 4 people to take him down. He's a threat on a bigger level than Scorpion, but he doesn't have a ton of screentime.
>>220421720Come on bro, Tanya has been a character longer than you've been alive.
>>220408407>no titsYeah, I'd rather take Karen Fukuharda or Akane Liv.
>>220421604Even from the preview it seems like Ken is only there to be some white male punching bag for the radical left.
>>220421814>Does anyone care about Rain?Rain would be cool to see but he's a pretty deep cut character. I'd rather see Skarlet.
>>220421849I was born before 1997, nigger.
>>220421608Feminism doesn't do exceptions. Everything down to the most niche, literal toy has to submit to their oversight
>>220421514>1. does noob die in the movieHe's Noob.>2. how many fights does he loseHe only has one fight, but holy fuck is he a hard fucker to put down>3. is he still a jobberNo, he's probably the best warrior Outworld has outside of Shao Kahn himself. It took a combined effort of Scorpion, Cage, Kano and Jade to put him down and I don't think he's down for good.Also, I like that Kahn is a smart one in this movie. >Let's give the mcguffin that makes me immortal to my most competent and loyal warrior for protection and then send him into a liteal hell in case someone starts looking for i>because I am immortal, I don't need my best warrior at my side, I can solo every other combatant by myself.
>>220421855Adeline mogs both. I never got the craze about Karen. She's ok but I think it's one of those things where most of /tv/ has a bias in favor of Asian women, whereas I don't, but Adeline is cute on top of being an actually good actress.
>>220408407I watched the first one last night. Skipped it when it came out because of the really negative word of mouth but I ended up enjoying it. People made the fight scenes sound like they were unwatchable because of egregious cuts and editing but I thought they were mostly fine and easy to follow. Kano, Kabal, Subzero, Kung Lao were great. Hated Liu Kang though. He looked and acted like a weak twink.
>>220421693>Wasn't Kitana supposed toYou don't sound very well versed in this.
>>220421974It was mid.
>>220421961Based Adeline appreciator. Them killing off Mileena in the first one and not having Adeline play both Kitana and Mileena was a missed opportunity.
>>220421974Pretty much every aspect of the first one is better in this one, including Liu Kang. I don't think he's quite on the level of Robin Shou, who is imo the best casting choice in the OG movie, but he did a good job.
>>220421974>>220421997>First oneMid>Second oneSurprisingly good, second best one behind the 95 originalMortal Kombat seems to be the only vidya IP that lends itself to decent movie adaptations.
>>220421961>>220422002>nigger Mileena>chink Kitanalel, they're supposed to look alike while masked
>>220422030The Mileena casting was the worst thing about the first movie. The Kitana casting is pretty on point.
>>220422025>Mortal Kombat seems to be the only vidya IP that lends itself to decent movie adaptations.Street Fighter will change that!
>>220408407is there sexy girl fights in it?
>>220422025>Mortal Kombat seems to be the only vidya IP that lends itself to decent movie adaptations.Dead or Alive (2006)
I feel bad about the Cole actor. They could've made him Kenshi or whatever and he could've done a good job. Wasted potential on an OC. At least he dun dieded.
>>220421974I hated MK 2021 because it actually had fuck all to do with Mortal Kombat. It actually reminded my a lot of Annihilation. A lot of named characters from a videogame, show up at random to get beat up by the protagonists and then the movie ends.The movie was set up as a Scorpion movie, just like MK2 sets up as a Kitana movie. But unlike MK2, MK1 immediately forgets about Scorpion after the intro and we spend an hour and a half faffing about with some bloke that wasn't even in the game.And then he fights Goro in a shed. What.
>>220422069They could have made him Liu Kang, and it'd work with him being the protagonist.
>>220422049You'll get G.I. Jade and you'll like it!
>>220422069Hiroyuki Sonada will be in his 70s by the time they make a third one. He'll come back in the third one as Scorpion reincarnated.
>>220422069Yeah, me too. He's actually a Mortal Kombat fan and was super-hyped he'll get to play Scorpion. And then he got saddled with that Cole Young bullshit. Maybe bring him back as Scorpion 2.0/Takeda or some shit. Because I think Hiroyuki Sanada has better shit to do at this point.
>>220408610Is it just me or has the allowed gore in R Rated movies gotten extreme as of late? I don't care about Unrated/NC-17 gore because the rating (or lack thereof) already lets you know the gore is a step beyond but shit gets an R now that used to get cut out until the home release. Like in the original Scream, they cut out the guts in the first kill but in Scream 7, they show every entrail hanging out of a girl who gets slashed up. I don't have a problem with gore (I'm currently on a Fulci kick) but I do have a problem with the R rating getting harder and harder.
>>220422070Yeah Cole was the worst part of the movie. I really hated every scene with him. He had a defeatist attitude and got his ass kicked all the time. I hope he is better in 2. Going to watch it soon.
>>220408407>No Cyrax or SektorShills will defend this.
>>220422124lel, they're so fucking obvious too.
>>220422049First there would need to be sexy girls so no
>>220422124They didn't debut til MK3.
>>220422119> hope he is better in 2.He is, but you also get a lot less of him. Which is why it's a shame about the actor because he otherwise fits well in an MK movie.>>220422124That doesn't happen until MK3.
>>220408407The whole point of this movie was to get Shao Kahn's mask over. He gets a lot of closeups of it. I don't know if they had a Halloween push planned or if it was just to sell popcorn buckets. It works though because places are selling out of these.
>>220422178DUNC worm anus is better.
Just doesn't feel like MK without Goro ripping out a heart
>>220422162There's no Sindel until MK3 either but she's in this.
>>220422119He's great in the sequel, actually. You are going to love him.
>>220422049No. They scrapped that from the games too recently. It's a girl brand now
>>220422124I don't see them introducing roboninjas, given that the normies and critics have a hard time following this simple as fuck plot.Now imagine trying to sell "we have robot ninjas now" plot point to them.
>>220422208To set up Kitana's story. But randomly including cybernetic ninjas without fleshing out the Lin Kuei first would've been a bad decision.Too many characters is what made Annihilation bad (other than the dialogue).This had enough. I'd like to see Ermac, Rain and Smoke too but making the movie too crammed would be a bad idea.
>>220422044If they were smart, they would have cast Kenny Omega as Dan. Clearly Endeavor supplied talent for this film but there's power in mocking the competition. Look at the 6000 SUX in Robocop.
>>220422049I thought Kitana doing violent things was sexy. Sonya is okay. Inferior to Kerri Hoskins but she mogs even the OG actress.
>>220422008>Pretty much every aspect of the first one is better in this one, including Liu Kang.Liu Kang died like a fucking bitch in this movie, what the fuck are you talking about.
>>220422253What was the resurrected Sub-Zero/ then if not Smoke?
>>220422294Noob Saibot
>>220422294It's Noob Saibot. Smoke is different from the original Sub-Zero (Bi Han).
>>220422284Wdym? He dies like a bitch in the games (which was funny in DA) In this one he just teleports away somewhere. It's arguable if he even died or transported himself to the netherealm or to chill with the Elder Gods somewhere.
>>220422253Ermac actually has a modicum of sense, given the we have already introduced king Jerrod. I dunno what can you do with Rain, unless you go with that evil Edenian prince that really wants to oust Kitana plotline. But Ermac and Rain would mean that we are getting another Kitana-centric story and I don't think the director would want to go there, unless he would just use them as jobbers and that blew up in his face with the 2021 movie.And I guess Smoke makes sense if we were to focus on Lin Kuei, but we would have to introduce Kuai Liang first, because otherwise what's the point.
>The way the camera panned at the start of Cole and Kahn's fight to make it look like the gameAbsolute cinema
>>220422353Liu Kang being shat on in the games so much was stupid too.
>>220422353>It's arguable if he even died or transported himself to the netherealm or to chill with the Elder Gods somewhere.The absolute fucking cope. He didn't die, he just left for a tome out at the most crucial moment! See! It's not to show that Kitana is superior to him! It's so that he can ascend! Trust the plan! Two more weeks! Fuck you, simp.
>>220422391John Tobias stopped writing.
>>220422381IMAX had a lot of fun with that aspect ratio.>Once Liu Kang challenges Baraka to a duel, the camera starts changing the aspect ratio to resemble the videogame... until Baraka refuses and the screen immediately goes back to normal.
>>220422391I disagree. I think the twist in DA was great and zombie Liu Kang in Deception was a nice twist as he had been the Babyface of the franchise up until that point. Him kicking Shang Tsung's ass in Armageddon was also nice.>>220422406They never did show Kitana being superior to him though. They said/implied he's the best combatant. Kitana killed Shao Kahn when he was not invincible anymore. Liu Kang could've done it as well.
>>220422469Yeah, but you're a moron so who cares about your opinion.
Sonya had too little screen time in this.
>>220422485And you're incorrect. Kitana never beats Liu Kang in this movie.
I'll give the movie this. I actually find all the characters very likeable. They don't have much material to work with, but all the actors have this natural likeability to them. Kitana was actually very cute.And I even liked Raiden this time around. Asano has finally removed that stick up his ass.
>>220422469>Liu Kang could've done it as well.So why didn't he? Why wasn't he the one to defeat Shao Kahn. Who even cares about Kitana?That is, other than the director, that wanted a female PoC as the main hero, just like how he wanted a PoC as the main hero in the first one?
>>220422381Funny thing is the characters were so unmemorable I have to look them up every time someone mentions their name. Felt like scorpion's descendant was a stand in for a real character who got the flu and couldn't be assed to show up.
>>220422514>So why didn't he?Because Kitana has bad blood with Shao Kahn and it makes for a better revenge story. Liu Kang can kill someone else as there's several villains still around, but thematically his feud with Shang Tsung would be better to explore, imo.>just like how he wanted a PoC as the main hero in the first one?Who, Cole? Isn't Liu Kang PoC too?
>>220422497I guess that's the issue with Sonya in the games as well. You don't have much to work with in her case, she only really cares about Kano and once she deals with Kano, she becomes redundant, and is only being strung along just because she's one of the "classic" characters.
>>220422572>Because Kitana has bad blood with Shao KahnWho cares? She's a woman. Her bad blood is merely an excuse to ask the male characters for help.>and it makes for a better revenge story.It clearly doesn't.
>>220422510>Kitana never beats Liu Kang in this movie.Who the fuck said that? Kitana beats Johnny, dumbass! She's shown as superior to Liu Kang because SHE beats Shao Kahn while Liu Kang dies like a bitch. What the fuck are you on about.>But MUH AMULETSo why the fuck couldn't Liu Kang have been the one to kill him while she broke the amulet? Or just have Liu Kang beat him while Johnny broke it? It's to show that Liu Kang loses so Kitana can win. God you're fucking stupid!
>>220421533>blackthat's a jungle asian
>>220422600>Who cares about good storytelling, just have Pennywise fight Robocop in the next one
>>220422572>but thematically his feud with Shang Tsung would be better to explore,I wish Shang Tsung was actually a character in this series. Although I am almost sure the next game will be based off of Deadly Alliance, because holy shit, did they telegraph Shang Tsung's betrayal hard.
>>220422572>Because Kitana has bad blood with Shao Kahn and it makes for a better revenge story.>Liu Kang can kill someone else as there's several villains still around, but thematically his feud with Shang Tsung would be better to explore, imo.HOW DOES ANY OF THAT NECESSITATE LIU KANG FIGHTING SHAO KAHN ONLY TO LOSE! You disingenuous fuck!
>>220422514I like how the fire guy says it wasn't his destiny to defeat the boss so he just disappears into thin air so sonya can free the ugly "pillow princess" to half ass it through a fight and somehow still come out victorious against the big boss jobber all because they destroyed an amulet he didn't need in his fight with her much more skilled father.
This was missing the techno music of the 90s movies. Had to wait until the credits to get it. Other than that, it was surprisingly good. Fun fights, campy, and all the casting was good too. Never heard of this broad being spammed in this thread before this movie but she did good as Kitana.
>>220422623But it isn't good storytelling, otherwise people wouldn't complain.
>>220422605>Who the fuck said thatThe only way you can imply Kitana is a better combatant is if she beats Liu.>But why didn't he kill Shang Tsung Because Kitana killing him was a better story. He killed her father.
>>220422633>I like how the fire guy says it wasn't his destiny to defeat the bossIt was HER TURN!
>>220422623These fight game adaptations do feel like MUGEN slop
>>220422645>peopleIt's just you, and your complaints are based entirely around raging at the existence of women.
>>220422645Literally nobody complains about Kitana, outside of few autists on 4chan. And Synthetic Man I guess.
>>220422632Why not have him lose is my question? The one thing I would've done is had more characters lose to Shao Kahn, they killed him too soon if anything.
>>220422654>The only way you can imply Kitana is a better combatant is if she beats Liu.Again you're so fucking disingenuous! It's implied she's better because she beats the guy that beat Liu Kang. It's blatantly obvious and you're just acting retarded about this to make discourse impossible, like all leftist simps. You're such a little bitch, man.
>>220408407Why are clean, shaven female armpits so attractive?
>>220422654Who cares about woman doing anything of worth? nobody. He killing her father is merely excuse for her to look pretty, distressed, conflict, and ask the male characters for help. Then she falls for Liu Kang, because he did the one she wanted but couldn't, because she is a woman.
>>220422645>>220422713Your complaints are stupid.
>>220422689>Liu Kang can win against someone else>But he has to lose against someone Kitana can beatThat's your fucking argument? And you're STILL pretending not to be a simp?
>>220422702They're better unshaved, t b h.
>>220422678I guess we are the only arbiters of taste and truth. Kitana was ugly and soulless. I guess she is a true representation of East Asians.
>>220422695>It's implied she's betterThat's factually incorrect. Unless you're implying a little girl with a gun is a better boxer than Mike Tyson by having a gun in that specific scenario.
>>220411692Why is this bitch fully shaved in every role? Are they actually humouring her every time?
>>220422741>Kitana was ugly and soulless.Mogged by the 95 version.
>This guy is still seething over Kitana
>>220422741NTA but no, your complaints are low IQ and you sound like you're into the worst slop imaginable when even this 6/10 movie filters you that hard
>>220422756Nah, Talisa Soto was a shitty Kitana actually.
>>220422746She's a sheboon so yes.
>>220422746
>>220422730You know i am right.How many action movies feature a beautiful local woman asking male outsiders to help her dethrone the powerful villain who oppresses her people?In the end, the beautiful local falls for the action hero because he freed her people, something she had always wished for but never had the power to do herself.The movie’s marketing made it seem like it would be exactly that, featuring Johnny Cage in everything as the reluctant male hero. But then it completely flipped that expectation on its head and broke the established cliché.
>>220422760I don't get if it's just anon trolling or genuinely having a fit, but it's a shame either way because she was legit good and a net positive to the movie.It's even more rare to come across well made female protags nowadays.
>>220422497Sonya is perpetually stuck in a weird place, even in the games now. As MK's first lady she gets included in near every major storyline and has the right to automatically win any fight against another female character(as seen by curbstomping Sindel). But because she has a pretty set personality with little room for development and no real motives of her own besides killing/capturing Kano or protecting Cassie or occasionally something to do with Jax or Johnny they don't do try to do much of importance with her and. She's just halfway along for the ride.
>>220422745That's the dumbest fucking analogy I've ever seen. What fucking gun is she supposed to have and what is it supposed to be analogous to? Holy shit you're fucking stupid.
>>220422785Should've made this bitch Tanya instead.
>>220422795He seems like a bog standard incel with no personality overcompensating with simplistic "thing bad!" faux crusades. In this case, women bad.
>>220422831If it was not bad, why the marketing hide the fact that the true protagonist and lead of the story was Kitana, and not Johnny Cage? Why not feature Kitana heavily in the marketing for this movie?Is it because otherwise nobody would pay attention to it, despite how pretty the lead actress is, because nobody cares about Kitana?
>>220422814It's the logic you're arguing in favor of. You're saying the little girl is stronger than Mike Tyson by default, because she shot Evander Holyfield.
>>220422760It is multiple people now.
>>220422795He's way too dedicated for it to be a bit. He's been in every thread about the movie since release that I've been in.
>>220422863She's featured quite a bit in the trailers but as more of a villain.Johnny Cage was the secondary main character and probably the highlight of the movie for most people.
>>220422881No, it's just you.
>>220422891She's old. She's ugly. She can't emote. Why is anyone simping for her.....
I ask the shills to answer me.Why did the marketing for this movie hide the fact that Kitana was meant to be the protagonist and main hero of the story? >>220422907Johnny Cage barely did anything and was more like the funny sidekick. You don't market a whole movie on the funny sidekick.
>>220422868SHOT WITH WHAT YOU DUMB FUCK! You are so goddamn retarded it's unbelievable! Your analogy doesn't fucking work! You fucking retard! >If a little girl had her four friends fught Evander Hollyfield's crackhead cousin to break the magical crackpipe that made Evander Hollyfield immortal then...Nah, it's just not working. Your argument is fundamentally flawed. Your fucking brain is fundamentally flawed.
Anyone else disappointed in Sindel and Sonya's fight? Felt like half of it was just Sindel screaming.
>>220422917No, I am a different person from the main guy you are fighting with so there are at least 2
>>220422926simps gonna simp.
>>220422795I put this on Adeline Rudolph. Kitana very easily could've been a bland girlboss with a stick up her ass and a resting bitch face, but she's really not. She's actually a very likeable character. I guess Rudolph has this natural charm to her that works for Kitana.
>>220422926>>220422950Movie is a success, already made over 60m worldwide. She will play Kitana in the third one. You lost.
>>220422891Which could still be a bit/trolling.I don't care t b h, I went in with low expectations because of the previous one and can objectively say this one was better.And Kitana's portrayal was on-point as well. She's better here than any game from MK 11 onward.
>>220422940They wanted to make it gameplay accurate and but it translate into a good movie scene
>>220422927>You don't market a whole movie on the funny sidekick.Honey, get a life.
>>220422954>Kitana very easily could've been a bland girlboss with a stick up her ass and a resting bitch faceShe is>but she's really notNah, she is
>>220422968did NOT translate into a good movie scene''
>>220422238>girl brand nowIs it even working? You’ll always see cosplayers sure but do a majority of women really be into Mortal Kombat?
>>220422927At least Johnny Cage and Bone face will be there in the sequel to make more cameos as comic relief to an otherwise dull and lackluster production.
>>220422980Except Jack DID kill Lo Pan, you fucking faggot retard! Did Johnny kill Shao Kahn? Exactly. Dipshit!
>>220422954Maybe. I don't think the script was too bad either, even if I can tell it wasn't made by an MK expert per se. But yes, Kitana was good and any honest fan ought to agree.
>>220422968Am I completely misremembering or doesn't Sindel use her hair as an attack? Could've had that.
>>220423011He killed Noob Saibot. That's an accomplishment.
>>220422961Will anyone even care about the sequel....I doubt it.
>/tv/ complains about ugly female leads>Movie has an attractive charming female lead>/tv/ still complains
>>220423032redditors will, they're the target audience.
>>220423014>even if I can tell it wasn't made by an MK expert per se.Wasn't Ed Boon literally one of the writers?
>>220422927Johnny Cage is at his lowest point when they find him, which is what sets this version of him apart.He clearly got his mojo back towards the end and will likely play a pivotal part of the next one if they make it.
>>220423032I'll be there day one. The movies are fun and I like Mortal Kombat.
>>220423029With four other people while Kitana soloed Shao Kahn! You can't refute facts so you just try to dress shit up to look better. Lipstick on a fucking pig.
>>220423050He was a consultant.
>>220423053>Johnny Cage is at his lowest point when they find himBecause they wrote the script that way, dumb dumb.The same way they wrote Kitana as the hero of the story, and then hid that in the marketing of the movie otherwise nobody would pay to watch this.
>>220423053>He clearly got his mojo back towards the endAnd the four other people helping him gang up on one guy doesn't matter. Right?
>>220423040Are we doing this bit because it is Asian pride month or is this just blind Asian bias? She just lacks all of those qualities but it isn't surprising for a Hollywood flick.
>>220423107Hapa chasers have shit taste.
>>220423067He beat Baraka by himself.
>>220423053>and will likely play a pivotal part of the next one if they make it.Like the marketing lied that he'd do it here? KEK.Funny how things like that always stay as mere promises, potentially, who knows. Be sure to not miss the next one!
>>220423080>Because they wrote the script that way, dumb dumb.Yeah and it's not a bad idea to do something different rather than repeat the same one dimensional Johnny Cage story each time. It's still faithful to who he is, but him becoming that version from the games is earned here, instead of him just appearing and being perfect by default.
Will Mileena be back for MK3? No one stays dead for long in this franchise right?
>>220423128>Yeah and it's not a bad idea to do something different rather than repeat the same one dimensional Johnny Cage story each time.Finally, mask off time, huh?
>>220422863What in the blue hell gave you the impression I was interested in engaging with your inane prattle? I was just identifying your bog standard archetype.
>>220423095That one guy is the strongest character in the movie following your logic though. So he did put the final blow on the strongest character.
>>220423137They'd be dumb not to. Killing her off in the first one was already a dumb decision.
>>220422927>>220422950samefag
>>220423143???>>220423151You seethe about Kitana but defend Mileena? This is trolling for sure.
>>220423145Sure, your main objective here is to lie and shill the new WB product.
>>220423047they'll be too busy watching street fighter
>>220423161
>>220423161lol no
>>220423117Oh I thought the Kitana girl was full Asian. She has some hard dirt farmer features like Emiru without makeup.
>>220423193>>220423196nice edit
>>220423151They already fucked it up by having a nigger Mileena and chink Kitana. Mileena is supposed to look like Kitana while masked.
>>220423146>That one guy is the strongest character in the movie following your logic though.Not even, you fucking idiot. Kitana was the strongest because of course she was. She shouldn't be but the filmmakers are retarded fucking simps. Isn't it convenient how Kitana never had to fight him? Isn't it convenient that Liu Kang never had to fight Shao Kahn but he did just to show that he loses while Kitana wins? Dumbass!
>>220423204Chinese-British mutt
>>220423107>She just lacks all of those qualitiesBullshit. She partially carried this movie and I'm very hard to please when it comes to female characters.
>>220423208I accept your concession, nigger.
>>220423218Just have Rudolph play Mileena. Problem solved.
>>220423238>and I'm very hard to please when it comes to female characters.I doubt that very much, MK marketing employee.
>>220423204Both are like a lumpy potato. I don't mean like a pockmarked oatmeal face but the outer profile is like "Why are there extra lumps on my potato?"
>Ludi Lin: Liu KangWait, *that* Ludi Lin? The guy that banged prime Grace (then) Fulton, now Grace Caroline Currey, when they were in Hawaii filming their short film Trouble In Paradise Ludi Lin? Wow.
street fighter shills having an absolute melty ITT
>>220423238>She partially carried this movieThe only one who carried this film were the brief moments of Johnny Cage except maybe one semi interesting fight between fire man and circular saw man, it felt like watching an episode of home improvement or the red green show.
>>220419252Could Kimiko beat Kitana?
>>220423306Both of the new MK and SF movies look like garbage. >people actually paid money to see this shitjej
>>220423223>Kitana was the strongest because of course she was.Not really, you're just low IQ enough to think whoever beats the big bad is automatically the strongest, which wasn't even true in the fucking games with Cassie Cage beating Shinnok specifically because of her bloodline magic while also being weaker than Liu Kang.
>>220423330it's either that or bug chasers seething at hapas but it's inorganic either way
>>220423306Oh I don't look forward to that street fighter flick. This was bad but that film looks much worse and that's just from the previews where they put their best foot forward.
>>220423334Who gives a fuck about the modern games? Jesus...
i wasn't sure about seeing street fighter in theaters if at all, but after watching this i definitely want to see it in theater . its fun sitting there on a large screen seeing characters you liked as a kid. even if the film is bad you still feel good inside
>>220423366>it's just not accurate to the games, that's my complaint>well, not THOSE games, hehJohnny Cage beating Shinnok also doesn't make him stronger than Liu Kang.Btw, it's stated openly, not even implied, that Liu Kang IS the strongest fighter in this movie.It wasn't a sarcastic line either.
I do appreciate that Baraka is 95% a practical effect.https://www.reddit.com/r/MortalKombat/comments/1t929js/who_would_have_thought_baraka_was_actually_a_good/
>>220423334>whoever beats the big bad is automatically the strongestHOW ABOUT NOT FUCKING LOSING TO THE GUY THAT KITANA ENDS UP BEATING, YOU STUPID FUCK!
>>220423399>Btw, it's stated openly, not even implied, that Liu Kang IS the strongest fighter in this movie.They threw fucking bone to the fans, and then proceeded with the girl boss story they wanted too tell.
>>220423314Your missus might not think you are handsome but she'll think you are handy.>takes saw hat into chest
>>220423399>Btw, it's stated openly, not even implied, that Liu Kang IS the strongest fighter in this movie.Which is why he loses to the guy Kitana wins against. Wait...
>>220423392I prefer MK as a franchise but 50 Cent as Balrog seems too rich to miss out on.Killer Instinct I would go see just out of being a fan though.
>>220423428It was a better story. You can't open with Shao Kahn killing her father and not have her get revenge. At the same time, it's too obvious to expect Liu Kang to save the day like he always does.I'm sure he will in the invitable "Endgame" movie, but you can come up with a story where it's earned, rather than just repeating everything that's been done.Shit, if it were up to me, neither Kitana nor Liu Kang would be the definitive people to kill the final Boss, but I didn't mind Kitana.
>>220423435>Which is why he loses to the guyOnly because he was immortal, and he wasn't when he fought Kitana. So that doesn't really make Kitana more powerful since she couldn't beat him with the power-up either.
>>220408859Worse than this one but the Sub Zero/Bi Han stuff in the village was good. That's one thing the original MK movie fucked up.
>mid Kitana>ugly Jade>old ass grandpa CageGarbage.
>>220423470>It was a better story.It clearly wasn't.Case in point: the original movie that had Liu and Johnny as the protagonist duo, while Kitana was just the pretty girl that fell for Liu. That was a much better movie.
>>220423528Who would you cast as Cage?
>>220423545Scott Adkins.
>>220423470>I'm sure he will in the invitable "Endgame" movieLike the trailers made sure audience believed Johnny was the protagonist in this one?
>>220423536The original movie was good too, but this had its own charm. Definitely the best one aside from that.
>>220423563Smart, shill. Careful to not shit on the classic movie.
>>220423554He'd nail the physicality but I dunno if he can play the persona
>served Shao as an assassin for thousands of years>Shao weakened by Liu and Sonya>gets his throat slit and is STILL going, almost chokes Kitana out to death>Kitana gets by with a very close victory>"WOKE!!! GIRLBOSS!!!"Holy fucking secondaries in this thread
>>220423582There are things to shit on for sure, it just has enough charm to it that it loops back to being great.The lack of an R-rating is a minus, Sub Zero and Scorpion being henchmen to Shang Tsung was stupid and there were some creative liberties like Scorpion's kunai being this dragon lizard thing. But overall, it's good and better than SF, which was B-movie slop.
>>220423594It is, because Kitana shouldn't even be in that role.The one to get the narrow win should have been Liu, or Johnny, who was IN EVERY GODDAMN TRAILER AS THE BIG DRAW.Kitana should be the one to help weaken Khan, maybe. So the movie can pretend she did something.
>>220423594In this continuity, Kitana isn't thousands of years old. She's still a young girl in her twenties in the movie.I don't have a dog in this fight, I'm just setting the record straight.
>>220408407Mid nail salon lady.
>>220423662>It is, because Kitana shouldn't even be in that role.NTA but why not?
>>220417163I don't see the resemblence but she cute
>>220423677For one, she was barely in the trailers. When she was shown, it was one of the potential bad guys.So if even the marketing had the good sense to diminish her role in the trailers...
>>220422246>we have robot ninjas nowI strongly feel that this is not as complicated of a concept as you are portraying it as lol
>>220417470I like her too. It's a very weird appeal so now I think I understand women who are into "dorky" guys.
>Jade was supposed to be a hottie>turn her into Jada Pinkett-SmithThere's lel and then there's top lel.
>>220423706Under what rock you have to live to assume that Kitana is supposed to be the bad guy?
So how was everyone’s audience? Mine seemed pretty quiet except for everything Kano said which provided the only huge laughs. And also the scene at the end with Baraka’s clan. There was also applause at the credits for what it’s worth.
>>220423756In the world that the marketing created for the audience, before subverting expectations in the movie itself. That world.
>>220423706Trailers don't make a movie. I still remember that shot of the multiple lasers in the Predators trailer that never happened in the full film.>So if even the marketing had the good sense to diminish her role in the trailers.You can't give everything away. Johnny was clearly still a pretty major character in the movie, and he's arguably the biggest draw just due to the actor they got, but Kitana had a better reasoning as to why she'd fight Shao Kahn.I also don't personally give a shit about who wins against the big bad as long as it's not totally illogical. Because the characters people actually like have never beaten a Boss.
>>220423668Fair enough, but even in this continuity she still is Shao's top assassin. I dont think its really that far-fetched.>>220423662The games decide arbitrarily who is going to be the chosen one or not depending on how they feel. Quan Chi and Shang Tsung jumped Shao Kahn in Deadly Alliance and killed him. Johnny Cage didnt really get thrust into main hero status until MKX, he spent most of the previous timeline dying
>>220423765Pretty much how you described, minus the claps because we don't do that in europe. People seemed to like it tho.
>>220423765In my theater there was barely any audience and they were all quiet, outside of few laughs whenever Baraka showed up. And then they all packed up and left once the credits started rolling, and I was left alone in the cinema, because I wanted to listen to that classic Techno Syndrome remix, while the cinema staff lady was giving me those annoyed looks, because she wanted me to just leave already.
>>220422785Ruth Negga is the only mulattofu. She is old now tho.
>>220423776>You can't give everything awayThey knew you couldn’t market an action movie based on a video game with a female protagonist as the main character, because otherwise people wouldn’t be interested in watching it.
MKbros...
>>220423801>Quan Chi and Shang Tsung jumped Shao Kahn in Deadly Alliance and killed himAkshually that turned out to be a clone, IIRC. The thing with MK's story is, it's all over the place and there's a lot of stuff improvised on the fly.I'm sure they could've conceivably beaten Shao Kahn, being sorcerers, when a lil ole shaolin monk did it. But someone said in a review, I think it was the Drinker, that the MK lore is kind of loose and I agree with that. You can change up a lot of shit while still staying fundamentally faithful to the characters.You're also right about Johnny Cage. He's always been one of the front liners but never the main hero, and more of a Van Damme pastiche that is comic relief.
>>220423845Why does /tv/ want this movie to flop so hard?
>>220423821>because I wanted to listen to that classic Techno Syndrome remix
>>220423858>Akshually that turned out to be a clone, IIRCYeah and that was a retcon after Deadly Alliance. But up until that point you were supposed to believe Quan Chi and Shang Tsung would be enough to kill Shao Kahn. The lore and whatever is never super stringent, so its funny as fuck when people expose themselves for knowing nothing about it
>>220423864Made best girl (Jade) ugly as fuck.
