Is it better than the 2021 film? That one was highly middling.
>>220425880It is Woke Girlboss propaganda Kitana is the main character and kills Shao Kahn.Cage is the useless sidekick.Lui Kang diesJade is bald
>>220425880It's much better than the 2021 one.OverallMK '95 > MK2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> MK2021
>GI JadeLOL
>>220425880it's okkitana carries it but billy butcher as cage was nice
>>220425880It is trash
>>220425880it is sad WB owns Mortal Kombat and keeps making it woke>first movie, producers say they don’t want strong White male characters >second movie, Johnny Cage is useless and Kitana is the main character Makes me wish someone else owned the IP.
>>220425880How many fucking shill threads are you going to make?
>>220426016>>220425213This guy is just scouring the catalog desperately looking for any mention of the film
>>220425880>>220425114How many Shill threads do you need, WB intern?
>>220426080How many threads are you going to spend hours raging in?
>>220425880Vast improvement on 2021. Still can't match 1995. If that one had blood it would be the best vidya film ever made.
>>220426093Almost as cringe as making hundreds of threads shilling a shitty movie because you have brainrot over the mid actress in the film.
>>220425993pretending to care about johnny cage, you can't be a more obvious shill muh bald brown goblina, ohh nopeople die in a video game movie that's based off dying in the most gruesome ways possible, no fucking way
>>220425880Less bad than the 2021 but still not good. You are better off watching Scorpion’s Revenge.
>>220426127>>220426097>>220426080You ok there bro
>>220425880Go Woke, Go Broke
>>220425880Anons claim Disney pays bots to shill their movies but it is really WB who does so. First Superman and now this.
>>220425993FPBP
>>220425880>s it better than the 2021 film?It is. Drinker liked it too.>>220426016She was kind of an uggo but Kitana a cuto
>>220426136Like, Kabal is my favorite MK character, I always main him if he's on the roster. I'm not crying that he was a henchman who died in the first film. It's a movie. We had Scorpion dead in the original film, and Sub-Zero dead having had no fight with Scorpion. Cos it's a movie, not a fighting game. You don't get to do the arcade mode with every character. You gotta pick a character and concentrate on their story, everyone else is adjacent to that They off characters in droves in the animated films from a few years ago too. I'd only be annoyed if it was a bullshit scene like Sindel randomly wiping out like ten characters in one scene like that one bit in 9.
>>220426186samefag
>>220425880It’s Woke sadly. Kitana is the main character. Lui Kang and Johnny Cage are her sidekicks. 95 is still the best.
>>220426249>>220425993Why are you replying multiple times?
>>220426136Johnny is part of the main trio . He's the Ken if mortal Kombat. He's not some obscure small frye
>>220425993>It is WokeNo it's not
What is there to discuss anyway the movie has no plot, and character wise only Kitana matters and a little Cage.
>>220426300It is.
>>220426360Nope
>>220426345Op just wants to talk anyhow much he masturbates to the Kitana actress and get more people to watch the movie for her.
>>220426288>main trioThere is no "main trio" in MK
>>220426375Yep.
>the faggot shill keeps making threadsHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
>>220426117>Still can't match 1995With all respect to Talisa Soto, I liked this Kitana more.>inb4 girlboss etc etcRobin Shou and Linden Ashby are irreplacable tho.>If that one had blood it would be the best vidya film ever made.Fair
>>220426397>>220426377>he's still screeching
>>220425880>>220426211oh fug a chink without an inverted nose
>>220426409Shut the fuck up faggot
>>220426409>With all respect to Talisa Soto, I liked this Kitana more.I'm sure you did, she actually had a role in this one, I mean the overall film.
>>220426418She’s a mutt
>>220425880>advertise all promotional marketing material with male actor>the protagonist of the movie is actually a woman>movie bombsmany such cases
>>220426426>>220426397Are you shitting in a thread whining at anyone posting in it? Why?
>>220426384Johnny Cage, Sonya and Liu Kang are arguably the original "good guy" trio.
>>220426393Disagree>no raceswaps, no commentary that men are evil, no social commentary in general
>>220426426Nah, you should listen to me
>>220426452>no raceswaps, They race swapped Mileena already>no commentary that men are evilMost men are portrayed as either evil or incompetent in the movie. Cage is portrayed as a joke. Kitana is the Girlboss savior. >no social commentary in generalThe message of the movie is “Women Strong, White Men weak’
>>220426435I'd rather Kitana than Cole tbqh. Cage doesn't fit as the one to take down Shao Kahn. Liu Kang kind of fits, and that would've been OK, but the revenge storyline they did with Kitana was not bad.
>>220426438>originalThe problem with that is MK continued past 1992.
>>220426489Mileena was in the previous one so I don't care>Most men are portrayed as either evil or incompetent in the movieOnly if they're villains, but it doesn't make a general statement about men being evil. And Johnny Cage had some of the most wanked moments in the film.>The message of the movie is “Women Strong, White Men weak’No it's not lmao. All the white men in the movie are protagonists. You lost the plot.
>>220426496>I'd rather KitanaWe know, anon. You keep samefagging and making hundreds of threads talking about how much you coom to her (more accurately how much you coom to her actress since you don’t actually like the character or Mortal Kombat in general).
>>220425880the first movie was fun as shit, i watched it with black people and we all laughed ourselves to death when liu kang tripped kano over and over again. core memory of interracial friendship and joy activated.
>>220426525I have only ever made 1 thread about the movie, which was after I had initially seen it, so no. Also, I'm not going to apologize for being heterosexual, buttercup.
>>220425880>That one was highly middling.This is more of the same but they clearly took some of the criticism to heart and fixed some things. I'm not going to spoil which, but it's clear when you see it.
>>220426554There's a guy having a full on meltdown on /tv/ today, like he must have posted at least 600-700 times about this film just crying about it being "le girlboss" or something, cos I've seen him spamming in threads well over 400 replies before they archive. Now he's just claiming everyone is a samefag.
>>220426592We already know Cole dies, anon. It’s been spoiled everywhere. It was spoiled in leaks before the movie even released.
Waiting on a nice real debrid stream. Shouldn't take long
>>220426630what?
>>220426621That's a shame. I mean yeah, there's definitely some element of girlboss but does it matter when it's an Edenian princess who is stronger than a regular human? And more importantly she just pulls it off. That Rose bitch from Star Wars would've been a different story but it's not her so.
>>220426652>>220426016Get off your phone, retard.
>>220426648>Yes, the movie is Woke Propaganda but you should just stop asking questions and consoom the Goyslop No thanks
>>220426652Imagine if the Street Fighter movie makes more money.
>>220426673It's not woke though. Kitana isn't Becky from the Office, she's an actual killer with supernatural powers. I't not just some asian girl picked off the street, though that would've been funny.
>>220426714From the casting alone I don't think I'll like it as much as MK2. I do like Corey Rhodes but that's the only thing it's got going for it to me.
>>220426720>It's not woke thoughIt is
>>220426658No one sits at PCs to browse 4chins anymore, unc. Deal with it.
>>220426761Cody* fucking autocorrect
>>220426762Was this woke too?
>>220426762wow what an interesting and varied conversation you're engaging in
Yeah it was alright. Wait for torrents though.
>>220426435Weird how very common these shifty tactics are with male audience media. It really does feel like a culture war is waged against you.
>>220427073I'm male and I didn't feel offended by it. I'm more concerned about other shit that might ruin the third movie, such as Liu Kang bogging himself for no reason.
>>220427073It's fake, retard
>>220425880she cute
>>220426211How's her footgame
>>220427110no, it isn't
>>220426014my take as well
>>220425880It's the best Mortal Kombat film since 1995, for what it's worth.
>>220427348Oh please. I doubt you even say the 1995 movie. You’re just a simp obsessed with mediocre holes.
>>220427348Don’t reply to your own thread, op
>>220427410You wanna try that again in English?
>>220427410He's right though. I don't get why /tv/ is being contrarian about this movie as if it's something important. It's Mortal Kombat ffs.
>>220425880It is another male franchise high-jacked by feminism. Lui Kang and Jonny Cage are sidekicks and Kitanat is the strong perfect Mary Sue who saves the day. It is Star Wars all over again.
Why does every single random actress have to have some retarded autist raging at them obsessively now? It's one thing if it's some very famous actress known by so many people that inevitably you come across one freak who hates them disproportionately, but now on /tv/ every random actress has a dedicated "hater"It's really tiresome.
>>220427105You're just offended by people noticing the facts instead
>>220427516No it's not
>>220427516>>220425993We heard you already.
>>220427445>HURR DURR IT’S JUST MORTAL KOMBAT!!! JUST ACCEPT THE WOKE FEMINIST PROPAGANDA, GOY!No. But thanks for exposing yourself as a fake fan.
>>220426505Thats still not refuting what he said and it's true, they were the original good guy group. The fact that umpteen hundred bullshit characters were made later means dogpiss
>>220427522Incel shit. I wish the hate would be redirected to the equally insane femcels who are often even worse. Instead it's usually directed at people who don't deserve it.
>>220427534Calling this movie woke propaganda is silly.
>>220427522It isn’t a rager. It is a genuine simp. /tv/ is full simps that obsess over every mediocre broad in every show and movie now.When that Disney Nitcracker movie came out, there was an autist spamming the actress 24/7. Then there is the autists obsessed with the Wednesday actresses. And Alita Battle Angel. And that one blonde chick. And many many more.It’s gotten worse since more Indians came to 4chan (and the internet in general).
>>220427586He's tallking about you though. You're the one obsessively seething over some actress like she actually did something bad.
>>220427540They had fuck all to do with each other in MK 1 and 2. Their motivations for the tourneys were separate, and Cage wasn't even in MK 3 because of them falling out with his actor. The 3D era was very scattershot with the veterans outside of Scorpion and Sub-Zero.
>Shao Khan kills Liu Kang>Sonya frees Kitana and she joins earth realm>Cage, Kano and Ghost Scorpion weaken Shao Kahn enough for Kitana to kill himnice rugpull
>>220427586>It isn’t a rager. It is a genuine simpI'm talking about you.
>>220425880something about her flappy little titties heaving when she's exhausted makes an incredible accent to her excellent pit game (shout out to Shao Kahn for the bdsm sequence)
>>220425880It is sad that WB ruined the Mortal Kombat franchise to pander to SJWs.
>>220425880It improves on 1, which itself wasn't bad. Costumes were great. The guy they got for Shao Kahn is legit 6'8 irl and he looks fucking monstrous in every scene he's in. The fights were fun and it looks like somebody on the creative team gave the directive of "everybody does one video game move per fight," which I enjoyed. Seeomg Shao Kahn spam his shoulder charger in the last fight was fun. The winks and nods to the games throughought were fun too. Basically every fight starts off with both characters spamming their projectiles.The plot, like the first film, was about as "faithful" to its source material as the Resident Evil movies, which is to say tenuously connected to the games at best. Still, it's not like Mortal Kombat lore was ever good to begin with, and if nothing else the movie didn't let the plot get in the way of the cameo-and-fight train that basically was the whole movie. I liked it. Nothing but a popcorn movie, but it did its job.
>>220427677Only the games are kinda ruined due to MK1, but they can make another one and fix them or just a new Shaolin Monks instead.The movie itself was fine and will do fuck all to tarnish MK in any way. Actual fans will enjoy it or think it's ok at worst.
>>220427677Why do you keep replying to my post over and over? You're not even trying to hide it.
>>220427701normies liked the MK1 game (wasn't a big fan of it either)>>220427692it's the best Shao Kahn there's ever been and likely will ever be
>>220427701>Real Fans will enjoy watching the movie emasculate all the male characters to prop up Kitana in the name of feminismSure, Shill.
>>220427741But that's not what happened. If you're doing a troll I admit it's funny, you made me crack a smile. If you're serious then you're kind of a retard m8.
>>220425880it sucks ass. In theory it should be way better than the first movie because it has more fights (I think?) and Johnny Cage. But I hated it just as much as the first, if not more. The person playing Kitana was annoying, just doing the typical "modern women seething with rage but attempting a stoic face" thing.It really feels like a movie that had a troubled production, idk if that's the case. But it doesn't flow well at all. Not engaging. 4/10
>>220427769This
>>220427769It was better than the first in every way and Kitana was a much better protagonist than Cole. Both are kind of mid movies but it's the best you can get in [current year]
>>220427769I don’t understand why Hollywood has such a hard time making martial arts films. You think would be so easy for them.
imagine pretending to be shocked that Liu Kang is shafted, in MORTAL KOMBAT
>>220427812I don't see how he was shafted. They kept saying he's the strongest character, he beat Kung Lao and clearly could've beaten Shao Kahn if not for the Shinnok amulet.He also "died" in a way that was an obvious set up for a sequel where he'll once again return.
>>220427787>>220427741Are you just sitting in the thread whining at anything positive?
>>220427831I'm merely jesting that getting rug pulled is basically Liu Kang's thing by now.
>>220427831Anon, I know you are a fake fan who simps for mediocre women. So let me explain to you. Fan (real fans, not the fake fan you pretend to be to shill bad movies), wanted to see Lui Kang to be a badass and defeat Shao Kahn. Not have Lui Kang job so that Kitana could kill Shao Kahn because the kosher producers who made this film hate men. Try actually thinking for once for your brain and not your circumsized dicklet.
>>220427875It has been since 2002. But to be fair most people including a lot of the fans found it hilaruious back then.Actual MK fans have respect for Liu Kang but he's hardly anyone's favorite character.
>>220427885You're not a "fan", you're just some traumatized faggot who had a shitty mother and now hates anything involving women.
>>220427875KWAB
>>220425880here’s your Liu Kang bro
>>220427926Careful, anon. You’ll trigger the shill who claims this is the best movie ever made because the Kitana actress made his peepee twitch.
>>220427875>white man gets his mojo back and is praised by everyone in the end (sonya and raiden were clearly jealous)>asian man gets shafted>qt kitanaDamn, this movie was based now that I think about it
>>220427926WB casting strikes again.
>>220427961>Actually guys, this Woke movie is actually totes not Woke!
>>220427987Explain how it's woke lmao
>>220427926Sonya looked similarly bogged and weird too.Jax didn't get a chance to be cool at all. He had a mid fight against Jade where nothing brutal happened and he spared her. Almost no fatalities, but there was a couple good ones. In a movie where "they didn't let the heckin plot get in the way of dumb fun!" you'd expect more.
>>220427961Now I understand why /tv/ hated it
>>220428029It's neither worth hating nor praising to high heaven. It's mostly one autist being genuinely upset it had a competent woman in it.
>>220427888But I am le chosen on-ACK
>>220428103And while I'm at it, I am le emperor of Outla-ACK
https://youtu.be/NJOJTsmJLLAit's crazy how hard the original film mogs this film
>>220428141Because the original was made with talent. This one wasn’t.
>>220428141>>220428150>WB shills suddenly pretending the old one was goodshameless
>>220428159Get a new fuckin post dude. You say the same thing over and over.
>>220428133And yes I nearly said Outland instead of world, I was thinking of WoW.
>>220428159Nice try, WB Shill and Kitana-Actress simp. 95 MK was made by New Line Cinema, not WB. But you knew that and tried to pretend to be me to make it look like I was shitting in the superior non-Woke Mortal Kombat film.Nice try, Tranny.
>>220428262>non-white MC>diverse cast>not wokeKEK
This one guy seething over and over all day is funny. Has he eaten today? Is he running low on electrolytes while he rages aimlessly at this movie he hasn't seen and doesn't actually care about? Go on monkey, do your little dance.
>>220428262This new one was also made by New Line retard, they're a part of WB now. And you didn't even watch it, you're just bashing it because" new thing le bad" even though Hollywood is past their peak woke era and this film embodies that as well.
>>220428298>Whitewashed Kano>Ninjas played by White guys>Chad Cage kills Goro>kills the black guy It is pretty based
>>220428308For all the seethe he's been outporuing I'm still not sure if it's a troll, genuine take or some kind of paranoia around shills, like /tv/ doesn't know piracy as a concept exists. And he STILL hasn't named one good movie from the last 10 years ot a competently written female protag.Whereas this matters because the strengths of this movie are closely related to the fact that beggers can't be choosers in 2026.
>>220428141this scene terrifies me as a kid
>>220428354the MC is still a POC and Cage was disrespected by a woman, it's woke
>>220428321>even though Hollywood is past their peak woke era Good one, anon.>and this film embodies that as well.Yeah. Nothing says “Not Woke” like making Kitana the main character Girlboss. Soooooo not Woke.
>>220428363it was a little spooky to me too.
>>220428380>Good one, anon.I'm 100% correct.> Nothing says “Not Woke” like making Kitana the main character GirlbossIt's not woke, you just have terminal misoginy. That's not "anti-woke", you just hate women. Not my fucking problem. Still doesn't make the movie woke.
>>220428380I swear Cage comes into the film, gets btfo, and you don't see him for like a half hour. He then gets a good fight scene, and that's basically it until the final seconds of the film. Total waste of Cage and karl urbanAll to force kitana on us I guess. I wish they just binned all that shit, all this gay plot, and did a basic tournament thing with a lot more fighting and character banter and stuff.
>>220428359It's genuine. That level of obsessive replying is a hallmark of trying to "stop" a thread (or two or three), which is the opposite of what a troll would do. He's not a fan, or something, he's just one of those morons who dines entirely on twitter ragebait accounts and swaps out a new one after a couple of days.
>>220428418you gotta stop feeding the troll
>>220428380a movie about niggers killing whites almost won best picture, but narrowly lost it to a film about black revolutionaries and le evil racist whites. is 2026 peak woke? idk probably not but it's still the same woke era.
>>220428523We're past peak wokeness in movies and culture in general. This is just some remnants of a dying trend.
>>220427736>normies liked the MK1 game (wasn't a big fan of it either)No the mothafuck they did not. MK1 bombed.There is no world or scenario or situation where Mortal Kombat 1 was a success.
>>220428478>I wish they just binned all that shit, all this gay plot, and did a basic tournament thing with a lot more fighting and character banter and stuff.Me too.
>>220428568it out-sold both tekken and street fighter and generally did well
>>220426211i will watch for she
>>220428568MK1 started huge. It fell off hard, unlike MK9, X and 11. Players were unhappy with a host of aspects of it, both the ones that appeal to normies (like the story mode, the roster, the guests) and serious players (the gameplay, modes, longevity, etc). The money grubbing approach to additional content sealed its fate. Even compared to 11 which was plenty stingy with DLC prices. Selling single fatalities is just bullshit.
Post that one pit pic
>>220428584>it out-sold both tekken and street fighter and generally did wellNIGGA THE FUCKIN' GAME WAS KILLED OFF AND HAD ITS DLC CANCELED!
>>220428584>it out-sold both tekken and street fighterit SHOULDMK is the highest selling fighting series, much more so than the average SF (except for II) and especially Tekken, MK11 sold like 15 million copiesMK1 was way under that despite a big launch, it had no longevity
ill let you know in a couple months i dont pay for films
>>220427949Do simps really?
>>220428359beggars can be choosers in 2026 because we have over a hundred years of movies to enjoy, I don't have to watch your garbage I can pick any of a thousand great movies to watch
>>220428651I hated MK1 cause of the garbage kameo assist mechanic.
>>220430395Yes, kute idea to have various past kharacters pop up, in practice it looks retarded and distracting. It should have been some special mode, not mandated in every match.
>>220430417My issue was cause of gameplay purely. They were too important for combos and specific characters got more benefit than others. I just don't want to deal with any kind of assist or tag system.It was just too different after going from MK11 which felt perfect for me cause of krushing blows allowed me to compete without having to string long combos together.
>>220426064That won't happen and without Cage awakening his power kick they'd all have lost.
>>220430506Needing to have specific character combos made it a chore because obviously, I would rather just pick the kameo I want to see. You know, being a cameo.
>>220425880memes aside it's mildly kino
>>220430520Yeah you couldn't even pick one based on who you liked, you had to pick whoever was best for the character you selected. The whole thing was garbage.Then the whole pve game mode thing was so much worse than tower events.Just a terrible game in general. Shame cause it had a nice cast and roster.
>>220430559>>220430520>>220430506Their character design also dropped off a cliff. For some reason like half the characters looked the same. Like at least five the women were just variations on Kitana. Palette swaps are a little bit mid 90s.
>>220430559I dunno if it needed 3 capeshit characters. Omni-Man, Homelander, and Peacemaker are fine but just wait to put them Injustice 3
>>220430596They did a pretty great job with the guests in X and 11, bar a couple. Pretty big step down for 1, both too many and too similar to each other.Spawn in 11 was godly. Looked great, Keith David was back, the character fit right in with everyone, and he was fun to play. The dev team were clearly fans and jumping at the chance to put him in. His arcade tower story is even presented as the Spawn stories taking place in the same universe as Mortal Kombat, rather than the usual "and a portal to the MK universe appeared suddenly" reason.
If you actually watch the movie, you'll notice that the only person who shittalks Johnny Cage is Johnny Cage himself. Literally every person in the movie hypes him up as this hidden badass.
Good movie, I would have liked if Kitana said "you can't stand upright in front of an Outworld champion" when beating Cage, to further impress her adoptive father and keep up her charade.
>>220430655Sometimes i rewatch the MK11 spawn trailer just cause it's so kino with the music
>>220430674>when beating CageWait, is everyone back to admitting she beats Cage? Or are we still pretending she doesn't?
>>220430655>>220430682Basically the selling point of MK11. Although I'll admit Noob Saibot kind of peaked there, design-wise
>>220430655>if you play a Spawn v Spawn mirror match, one of the Spawns is identified as the Violator taking his form in the prematch banterIt's the little things. While they'll never match the likes of SF or Tekken for slick fighting gameplay and animations, the devs of MK are really good for packing the games full of stuff and small details, so you do feel like you got your money's worth, even if there's a lot of jank. Like Deception having chess and puzzle modes in it, just for fun.
>>220430673The movie clearly venerates Cage. Any flaws he has just work in favor of his story.
Why is Johnny so mean to Kitana during the ending? She just wanted to hang out with her Earthrealm buddies a bit, and he tells her to fuck off.
>>220425880You know how MK 2021 is like two movies sewn together? This is three. And about half way through the movie, they bring Kano back to life because he's the best character and no other reason. They literally show in the next seen that they brought him back to hand them a MacGuffin that he had in his pocket. Then he has the mercenary face turn where he works for the good guys for profit even though there is no reason for anyone who knows him to trust him. Like the last one, he has all of the best lines.
I like those mirroring shots between Kitana and Johnny in the final fight. It's cheap, but it does a good job hyping you up.
>>220430792When's JAREK getting his due?
>>220425880The weirdest thing is that EVERY pop culture reference in the movie is something WBD owns except when Johnny thinks Raiden is a Big Trouble in Little China cosplayer which is owned by Disney. I guess I've watched too many shows written by Gen Xers but it feels weird when people makes LotR and Harry Potter jokes without using Star Wars or MCU jokes. If you called Shao Kahn "Thanos the Barbarian," it would fit the mood.
>>220430792That's actually a good joke, that in the end bites the Outworld forces in the ass, because they all underestimated Kano.
>>220430697She beat Cage fair and square and gave him a chance to live too, which saved the whole movie eventually.
>>220430805The fucked up thing to me is that it implies that Johnny's MK power is the same as Shao Kahn's (shadow rushes) but they do nothing with that outside of him doing one shadow kick. I would've preferred a big ol' uppercut where they show it from 3-4 angles and in another jangling keys MK reference, you can clearly see other heads land in the background while focusing on the last one to reference the multiple uppercut finisher glitch.
My only criticisms is that I wish the movie was maybe some 20 minutes longer, so that we get some downtime with the character just hanging out. And I wish Kitana interacted with Earthrealm fighters a bit more. Because even though they have nothing to work with, the actors have some nice chemistry together. Probably because they genuinely like each other professionally.Also, holy shit, does the movie throw you into the thick of it. If you don't know the games or haven't watched the first film, you'll probably be confused as fuck.
>>220430858>She beat Cage fair and squareBut wait, I thought the marching orders were she only won because Cage wasn't ready, therefore it's not woke? LOL
>>220430891IMO the less they focus on how the powers work and why, the better. They tried to overexplain the powers in the 2021 movie and it backfired. So, I'm fine with Johnny doing the hype shadow kick because he's Johnny fucking Cage.Also, does Kitana have any powers herself? She just twirls her fans, but I don't think you need a superpower to do that. And if Jade didn't give her those fans, she would be powerless?
>>220430897>If you don't know the games or haven't watched the first film, you'll probably be confused as fuck.you don't need to know the story, which they've rewritten multiple times in the games, shit criticism, it's an easy to follow story
>>220430922Your order orders sound slow-orderded, lol.
>>220430858I liked the reference that if you leave a beaten opponent alone, they fall over. However, it would've been sick if Katana did her MKII Friendship. It would also be a reference to the first MK movie when Johnny beat Goro and it showed his autographed promo flat like his MKII Friendship. But for a film that clearly kept throwing in shit "for the fans," why did no one destroy his $500 sunglasses? Those are $500 sunglasses, asshole! Also, why did he exclusively fight in sunglasses when putting on the sunglasses is his victory pose? Also, I get Shao Kahn is a big monster already but are we just never getting Kintaro, Sheeva or Motaro?
>>220430961I like to assume her powers are doing things the fans wouldn't do on their own like spinning in place in the air. While her Fatality was the best part of the movie, I would've preferred her MKII cumflation kiss Fatality.
I like the part where Johnny and Kano crash into Scorpion's domain and he does this "get out of my lawn and stop eating my apples" grumpy old man routine.I want to believe it wasn't acted, Sanada was just naturally grumpy he's in a Mortal Kombat movie.
>>220430986What is her MK2 Friendship? She bakes you a cake, doesn't she? That would be a bit silly to put into a movie.Also Cage does his Friendship to Scorpion, not Goro.As for Kintaro and Motaro - I suspect budget issues. Also, the audiences did not like the CGI Goro. Mostly because he was fighting Cole in a fucking shed, but still. That's why they went with practical effects this time around, because at least the fights would look good.
>>220430961Yeah all the outworld fighters have powers, a lot of them imbue energy into their weapons. Kitana also has air themed powers where she uses her fans to dash through the air, throw, levitate, etc.
let's see if I can mobile post rn
>>220430821IT'S OVER JAREKTHE GOOD GUYS WONYOU'RE COMING WITH ME
>>220430961>your secret powers gave you...robot arms!Just goofy and unnecessary.
>>220425880Nothing beats the 95 movie.It’s just cgi superhero stuff, with MK characters, but the 21 movie was way worse.
>>220425880OUTSIDE of the woke conversation, -short fights, shitty cgi, bad choreography, awful shitty lazy fatalities. sindel fatality is so retarded. -borinh plot about finding some amulet to save raiden and defeat shao kahn very very boring. and worst of all 3 or 4 fights without any deaths or fatalities. what the fuck is that shit?
>>220426211I have no idea how drinker liked it when this was full on boss girl don't need no man shit
>>220431187Because it wasn't.
>>220431187Who cares what some e-celeb thinks? Imagine needing someone else to tell you what your own opinion should be instead of laying out facts.>>220431283It is.
Don't worry guys, Synthetic Man hates it.
>>220431304I don't know what that is.
>>220431293>Imagine needing someone else>Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go spend hours screaming at a film I haven't seen and calling everyone shills if they don't say le woke girlboss!
>>220426136>pretending to care about johnny cage, you can't be a more obvious shillIt seems you know nothing about MK. Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden, and Johnny are the four most popular characters.
>>220431383People like Raiden?
>>220431403I don't know. I must consult with the Elder Gods to learn the truth of this matter.
>>220431382>The shill short circuits after seeing a man capable of forming his own opinion
It feels like if Big Trouble in Little China came out today, it would also be called "woke" because Kurt Russell plays a useless sidekick just like Johnny.
>>220431422But you didn't form your own opinion. You didn't even watch the film at all.
>>220431426Kurt's character gets to take out the big bad, though.
>>220431433>But you didn't form your own opinionExcept I did. And that's hilarious coming from you, the faggot constantly bringing up >LOOK WHAT DRINKER SAID LOOK AT DRINKER HE SAID IT ISN'T WOKE IF IT WAS WOKE DRINKER WOULD SAY IT IS BUT DRINKER DIDN'T SAY THATFucking idiot
>>220431055My bad, it was Scorpion. I haven't seen the movie in decades. Also, I wouldn't have her turn around and make a cake instantly but find one. As I said, it would be another key to jangle and that's more important than making sense.
>>220431426>Kurt Russell>Got the girl>Killed the bad guy>Saved the day>Johnny Cage>Zero hints at romance between him and Sonya>Jobs to a woman>Does nothing during the final fight
>>220431436Literally by a lucky throw he misses the first attempt at. Don't pretend for a single second you wouldn't complain about that if i was in a film released in 2026.
>>220427522It's part of a psyop to make young men hate women generally.
>>220431478He still won.
how the fuck can you call this MORTAL KOMBAT when Jade loses but is spared by Jax and become friends?Johnny cage spares baraka and become sweet friends ..... more like friendship Kombat
>>220431463If that helps, she does play pattycake with Jade in one of the outtakes. I dunno if that's the reference to her MK 11 Friendship, or she does that because because both actresses are besties in real life.
>>220431426if big trouble in little china came out today, the asian sidekick guy would be replaced by the woman. she beats up everyone
>>220430858>gave him a chance to live too, which saved the whole movie eventuallyHow? He does absolutely nothing the whole movie. Sure, he "negotiated" with Baraka, but literally anyone could have done that. He's constantly helpless in the fight with Noob. It is another girlboss, Jade, who saves the day.
>>220431293>>220431422>>220431454>oh my god kitana won a fight against a man in mortal kombat?>WOKE WOKEBro just kill yourself and do us all a favor.
>>220431500You missed the part when Kitana literally shows up in Raiden's house and begs the Earthrealm team to spare Jade? And Jax flat out says to Jade "your friend spared one of ours (Johnny), so it's only appropriate I spare you".
>>220431500Friendship? Friendship!? Again? Ok...
>>220431383Johnny the most boring character with the the dumbest abilities, you don't even know the meme he's known for, shill
>>220431542Did you see the movie? Only Johnny destroys Shinnok's amulet, because only he could do it with his "godkiller" green magic.
>>220431561>>220431557but then it's not a mortal Kombat and no one needs to die.just knock them over. just make them faint. it's not a deadly fight then. and then the end kind of went to shit when 3 people were attacking shao kahn at once. so where are the rules?the end wasn't just a clean fight. the writing in this was so shit
Huh, Raiden didn't even annoy me this time around. He actually had some good lines and Asano has finally removed that stick up his ass.>b-but, you should be dead>and you should be running
>>220428418>feminist cuck is seethingenjoy your flop, faggot
Cole Young is much hotter than Johnny Cage
>>220431585Wait until you find out how Shao Kahn treated rules in the games.
>>220431585Friendships debuted in the second game.
>>220431585Nah, the movie outright explains the rules. The fight ends when one combatant is dead or incapacitated. Also, Shao Kahn at this point is literally immortal. He doesn't care if he has to take two people at once, that would just speed up his way to victory.
>>220431552You mean the man you keep insisting is the most dominant in the whole movie? The man you keep insisting is totally, totally the "co-lead' and shared protagonist? Disingenuous faggot.
>>220431623>>220431621>>220431614I think the jade movie was a cop out she wasn't incapacitated
>>220430821IMSOGAAAAAY
>>220431630Johnny Cage is co-lead. He has the same amount of screentime as Kitana.
>>220431633I mean, she flat out surrendered and threw the fight. That counts as a win by all accounts.
>>220425880im german and i like hapas you cant imagine my suffering.
>>220431630Haven't seen the movie, but it's mortal kombat all of the characters are capable fighters that can beat each other so get over it stop being such a freak trying to call everything woke just cause a woman exists in it.
You guys remember that Mercy was a thing in UMK3?
>>220431667In the games Kitana has never defeated Shao Kahn because she is not the chosen one.
>>220431689You can beat Shao Kahn with anyone
>>220431707Not in the story mode retard
>>220431711lolfuckin secondaries
>>220431648I just don't really like a mortal Kombat without deaths or fatalities. every fight should have had a fatality. don't wanna kill jade, don't pick her. easy. these friendships bullshit is not for the movies. pick another fighter. these friendships ruin it for me. baraka is basically a good guy now, why even have him fight? why. baraka basically falls in love with Jonny
>>220431711Oh yeah? What story modes ended with Shao Kahn being beaten by Liu Kang?
>>220431647That screentime? Getting his ass kicked by Kitana.
>>220431689Kahn just got murked by the Elder Gods in 9 for undermining them, Liu Kang wasn't even alive. And that's the only time the story of the MK 1-3 era had an actual definitive single storyline, as opposed to pick a character and fight in the tournament, with whatever their ending was.
I wish Kitana's outfit was a bit fancier and princess-like, like in MKX.But I assume they went with that relatively simple outfit, because it would be a pain in the ass to do stunts in such over-the-top outfit. And Adeline Rudolph was already struggling with a lot of the stunts, because she's not much of a martial artist.
>>220431728>baraka is basically a good guy now, why even have him fight? why.Because the screenwriter is a Baraka main. I am not kidding.
>>220431728>every fight should have a fatalityWhy? It's not always one when playing the game.
>>220431805they have the ability and budget to showcase the best stuff of mortal Kombat friendships are a waste and to think of it. sindels fatality and Cole's fatality deaths were lame. they were extremely lame for mortal Kombat standards. why is this movie such a downgrade from the previous movie on gore?
>>220431751>>220431742Liu Kang defeated him in MK2 portion of the story retard
>>220431728>baraka is basically a good guy nowHave you played MK1?
>>220431897Didn't end there now did it?
>>220431837It's nota downgrade, I would say it's quite the opposite
>>220431920It doesn't matter, retard. Liu Kang defeated Shao Kahn, not Kitana. She was in chains. Liu Kang is the protagonist of MK, not Kitana.
>>220431906I don't need baraka to be the comic relief. that was offensive >>220431923they cheapen out on the gore on this one. very lame deaths.
I’m the real Mortal Kombat fan. I doubt most of you are even good at the game. Your opinion on this movie means nothing.
>>220431897I finished MK2 with Scorpion actually.
>>220431949>It doesn't matterYes it does actually, because the story mode does not end there. Shao Kahn is not killed, and Liu Kang dies lamely literally by accident later. He's killed by the Elder Gods in the end.
>>220431986Baraka getting the short end of the stick is as timeless as Reptile getting shat on.
If Shinnok is the villain in the next movie, Johnny will be the lead once again. Shinnok is his main enemy in the games.
>>220431986They don't though? All the deaths are pretty gnarly and cool. Way more than any other film.
>>220432037'95 didn't need "gnarly deaths" to be a good movie
>>220432024That's why Liu Kang should have been co-lead in this movie instead of Johnny
>>220432024I assume the next protagonist is finally going to be Liu Kang and maybe Kuai Liang. Also, I am hoping for the Liu Kang/Kitana romance. It's funny that even Ludi Lin and Adeline Rudolph are pushing for that romance, if only because they became friends IRL and want more wholesome scenes together.
>>220432048Why are you replying to an ongoing conversation about gore with your nonsense?
>>220432060>It's funny that even Ludi Lin and Adeline RudolphSame with Karl Urban and that Sonya chick, but Ed Boon said no
>>220432060>finally going to be Liu KangDude, Liu Kang already has two movies where he is the sole protagonist. Let the other characters shine.
>>220432037cole, head crushed sindel, spike on head. bi han, falls over, not even goryjax, stabbed in chest liu kang, stabbed in chest come on man... for a "MORTAL KOMBAT" movie these deaths are lame and safe as hell. sure there's " some" gore but it was so quick and safe where's the gore of the games?
>>220432010>How do we rule a realm with NO ONE IN IT!?
>>220432095Nah, they are building him up too much to just ignore him in the next movie. They clearly have some plans for him, so I assume, he's going to be a major character.
>>22043204895 movie absolutely would have benefitted from being gorier. It's good, but it would have more bite without being PG13. It's one of the flaws of the film.
>>220432098>liu kang, stabbed in chestThis shit was so retarded
>>220432098Bi Han is sliced in half, shao kahn had his head sliced in 4 parts
>>220432120Also Kung lao gets sawed on his fucking spine, not to mention kitanas father's death and other shit. There's a bunch of gore
>>220426218>I'd only be annoyed if it was a bullshit scene like Sindel randomly wiping out like ten characters in one scene like that one bit in 9.Yeah that was a really weird direction to take what had been a very solid story.>oops we have too many characters still alive let's kill them all (but then bring back many of them in the sequels anyway)
>>220426016>>220425993Bald jade is fine btw because they needed to give each of the palette swap fem ninjas their own look and she's still pretty hot with itNew MK1 Tanya is a fucking travesty though
>>220432134>do you think we should have more bad guy characters for them to fight?>no, Baraka and Reptile ten more times will suffice
>>220426218That Sindel scene is so hilarious because it's a transparent "oh shit look at the time, gotta wrap this shit up" moment.And then after she shoahs the cast she gets beaten by FUCKING NIGHTHAWK
...So, after she defeated Shao Kahn, does Kitana still keep Sindel alive as her zombie pet?I like that Shao Kahn gets to blackmail Kitana, by threatening to kill her mother, and she complies, even though Sindel at this point is a mindless meatpuppet held together by some staps and death would be a mercy for her.
>>220432171Didn't they say they're reviving everyone in the ending?
>>220432158And central characters like Kitana just get offhandedly killed in the scene like a background extra. It's such a wacky fuck you to the player.
>>220432186Kitana should die in the next movie
>>220432181You think this implies Sindel as well? Also, how the fuck are you going to bring back Cole?
>>220432144>Netherrealm Studios have never seen a woman in real life, make them all man shaped but with tits stapled on for years in MK and in Injustice 1 even worse>discover mocap for faces, bypassing their inability to make female faces>finally learn what females are shaped in about 2019 for MK11 and give Skarlet an actual hourglass figure with hips and thighs>instantly forget this for MK1, go backwards to making them fridge shaped but this time without any tits stapled on and now scrawny instead of builtTanya made me laugh out loud in 1 when she got a "klassic" outfit. Hank Hill would feel pity for her.
>>220432194Magic
>>220432194
>>220426211>Drinker liked it too.THANK GOD some eceleb liked it, I was going to like it but I needed an Internet daddy to give me his seal of approval first.
>>220432202Not having a head is the least of Cole's problems.
>>220432194>how the fuck are you going to bring back ColeThey could bring him back as Ermac
I want to see Ermac in MK3. I assume he would be a clusterfuck to introduce, but I want to see him and his bullshit on a big screen.
>>220432206>Drinker liked it tooI don't think he even saw the movie. He doesn't mention that Kitana is the real protagonist, and only talks about how cool Urban is as Johnny.
>>220432194>Also, how the fuck are you going to bring back Cole?It only makes sense he's new Scorpion. I just rewatched MK and it made a big deal about that. Prophecy and all that.
>>220426211>Drinker liked it tooUnironically kill yourself.
>>220426819yes
>>220432224Well, Hiroyuki Sanada is almost 70 and he really wants to retire, so it's only logical for Cole to step in as the new Scorpion. Then we would introduce a new Sub-Zero in form of Kuai Liang and the buddy cop show writes itself.
>>220432263>>220432224Nah, fuck Cole
>>220432263It's better than just dumping Cole entirely after all the establishment from MK. That's too lazy and unprofessional.
>>220432276I don't care about Cole per se, I just feel sorry for Lewis Tan. He is a huge MK fan and was so hyped to play either Scorpion or Kenshi.
>>220432276Not saying it was a good idea just that they made their bed and need to lie in it.
>>220432276It's not Cole anymore, it's SCORP
>>220432285>I just feel sorry for Lewis TanDon't feel sorry for a handsome, rich hollywood man who lives in a mansion.
>>220432319But he's asian
