The trailers and ads lied. Johnny Cage isn’t the main character, he’s just a goofy sidekick who gets shit on and never does anything cool. kitana is the main character. She is the one who kills Shao Kahn and saves everyone. Her actress was mid with her acting was as really badLui Kang dies Cole Young dies Scorpion is barley in it Better than the 2021 movie but worse than the 1995 and Scorpion’s Revenge
you're posting this as if anyone seriously cares about this shit
>>220426353Sounds like Woke trash.
>>220426353The plot for this leaked years ago.
>>220426353Why is WB incapable of making a good MK film?
>>220426353I bet Mike Stoklasa of Red Letter Media is going to love this movie. He loves Woke propaganda.
>>220426353How much is Quan Chi in it? That's all I care about.
>>220426353WB is the worst company on the planet.
People calling MK2 woke really shows how dumb and watered down the term has become. You're making people who hate legitimately woke shit look bad. Kitana and Johnny Cage are co-leads. It's a Mortal Kombat movie. Like the games girl characters beat up guy characters some times, even the end boss. It gives Kitana a satisfying arc and makes sense for her character. It also isn't shocking Kitana could get a good hit in on Kahn while he still thinks he has the invincibility buff.
>>220426802Here comes the Woke shill defending another boring Woke movie.
>>220426821You're a whiny pussy
>>220426802 The absence of Johnny Cage—a typically white male character—from the 2021 Mortal Kombat reboot was a deliberate decision by filmmakers to avoid having a white lead in a story with a diverse, Asia-inspired cast, according to producers.Here are the key details regarding this decision:Diverse Cast Focus: Producer Todd Garner felt it was "weird" to have a white actor, specifically Johnny Cage, lead the charge in a movie with a heavily diverse cast, stating they wanted to focus on the Asian roots of the story.Replacing the "White Savior" Trope: The team wanted to avoid the "white guy saving the day" trope, especially since the film's martial arts theme and cast aimed for a different focus.Narrative and Character Balance: Producers considered Cage's "big personality" a poor fit for the initial, more grounded story they wanted to tell, noting he would have "thrown it out of balance".Introduction of Cole Young: The character of Cole Young was created to act as a surrogate protagonist who could connect with the audience without the established baggage of a long-running, "arrogant" character like Cage.
>>220426896Ok so what? There are two characters in MK2 that have a heroic arc. One of them is Johnny Cage. Johnny Cage didn't beat the end boss in the first movie either, and he was unceremoniously killed in Anihilation.
>>220426353Why do you keep on lying, incel?
>>220426353>The trailers and ads lied. Johnny Cage isn’t the main character, he’s just a goofy sidekick who gets shit on and never does anything cool.>kitana is the main character. She is the one who kills Shao Kahn and saves everyone. Her actress was mid with her acting was as really badGay.
>>220426353You have a child's perspective on movies
>>220426353How many threads do we need of this?
>>220426353Yep. Very disappointing we still have these culture warrior creatives and marketing shills pushing this stuff. Heartening to see it bomb bigly again too though. Let's hope the entertainment world moves past it at some point and gives the male audience their media back.
>>220426353Another male franchise ruined by feminism.
>>220427454Yup
>>220427038It isn’t a lie.The trailers lied. Kitana is the main character and Cage is the dumb sidekick. Kitana even kills Shao Kahn. It is all over social media. The movie is woke.
>>220426382I do. I was overall enjoyable and to some extent the most accurate MK movie to date.
>>220426802Only honest post ITT. It's insane to consider this woke.
>>220427572>>220427585Here comes the WB Woke shills
Street Fighter would be better anyway
>>220426802if the badass women aren't sexy then it's woke. simple as.
>>220426353how does Liu Kang die
>>220426353Why does WB hate Johnny Cage so much?First they wouldn’t even let him be in the first Mortal Kombat movie because he was a “White Male”. Now he is finally in the movie he is a pathetic loser who needs protection from Kitana, the real hero of the movie.
>>220427624Kitana was sexy
>>220427605Not that hard.The Street Fighter movie looks like it respects its characters more than the WB Mortal Kombat movies do.
>>220427482How is it woke?
>>220426896>>220426956dude copy/pasted a chatgpt response, don't even bother responding
>>220427630Did you watch the movie? Cage is the most wanked character in it. Which is bullshit because Kano was always better.
>>220427629Shao Kahn kills him.
>>220426802Then own it and market it accurately like the Kitana movie it clearly is.
>>220427605>>220427642Of all the bait so far this is the least believable. That shit looks like ass and it'll be a small miracle if it's good. Street Fighter should only be depicted in anime.
>>220427673>NO SAARRR! YOU NEED TO GUVE YOUR RUPEES TO WB!!!
You've been doing this all day OP.Call your mother.
>>220427690>NO SAARRR! YOU NEED TO GUVE YOUR RUPEES TO PARAMOUNT!!!
>>220426353WB hasn’t made a good movie in forever.
>>220426353I knew the trailers were too good to be true…
They should've cast Goose not Urban
>>220426353casting a geriatric like Urban as Cage was retarded, dude can barely move
>>220427980>>220428009This.
>>220426353>She is the one who kills Shao KahnWhat? Does she get godly powers or something
>>220426802Just looks like a bad movie, won't explain why
>>220426353I'm glad I saw this wihout listening to /tv/. Had an ok time.
>>220428231You’ve made this same post fifty times, WB shill. No one believes you. Your movie is bombing to the Devil Wears Prada 2.
>>220427673I hate both video games and I think the SF movie looks much more entertaining.
>>220428330>>220427642>>220427605y'all do realize Chun Li will be the main character right? She'll defeat Bison just like Kitana kills Shao Kahn. There's zero chance for Ryu or Guile to be the focus of the movie
>>220428295>Devil Wears Prada 2No one wants to see that shit. I at least saw MK cause I had nothing better to do and wanted to hang out with some of my friends and the movie was fine enough for me to not hate it.
>>220427652everything these faggots don't like is woke
I'm far more interested in the Street Fighter movie than this shit.
>>220428465>No one wants to see that shit. It is currently beating MK so….
>>220426802>t.
>>220426353The woman should never be a main character in mortal kombat. It’s dumb violent shit for boys and men. The girls are there for T and A
>>220428552The current Hollywood mindset is that all boy media must be made for girls.
>>220428552WB and Ed Boon have been observed with pandering to women. It is why they made all their game models ugly.
>>220428510Based
>>220426353>>220426411Sounds like Big Trouble in Little China
>>220428911Kurt Russel actually killed Lo Pan, saving the world. Cage didn’t kill Shao Kahn and was useless.
>>220428964But he’s a dumb goof who thinks he’s the cool guy the entire time and the film was sold on that which was the point being made
>>220426802This. It's not woke and if Kitana made you upset, you're probably gay.
>>220426353The 2021 movie has an awesome intro in the pastThen it time warped and got immeasurably worse. wtf! Why don’t they just make that movie???
>>220426353That explains why the movie is bombing. Go Woke, Go Broke.
Good job OP. Keep it up, you can tell these faggots are pissed. I bet half the shills are man faced kitana's team. They talk like retarded foreigners. This movie is going to bomb.
>>220426382Mortal Kombat does have a fanbase, but for the life of me I have no idea why
>>220427038Why do people listen to a machine that's made to lie to them?
Post the Kitana actresses feet please
>>220426353Street Fighter looks so much better.
>>220426353I can’t believe WB used false advertising to push their woke movie. At least have the balls to own up to it.
>>220426353>Cole Young diesnice
>>220427038who won the tournament again?
>>220426353False Advertisement
>>220428422The main character is Ken you doofus. Ryu will fight Bison though. Chun will kill Vega because that retarded animated movie made everyone believe Vega is a jobber who loses to everyone (even though in the same animated movie Vega almost wins and pretty much leaves Chun Li about to die).Guile will do nothing, yeah. But who gives a shit. A complete faggot with no charisma is playing him.
>>220429327Don’t bother, anon. You are arguing with a schizophrenic who is obsessing with shilling a shitty woke movie because they coom to the bland actress playing Kitanna. They are going to make stuff up to make you hate Street Fighter and want to see Mortal Kombat 2 (or how he thinks so in his mind).
>>220426802Nah but nice try you whiny pussy.
>>220429327>The main character is Kennigga we are talking in a thread of a movie that sold Johnny Cage as the main character on its trailers. Ken is basicallly Cage, washed up star going on redemption arc, but the movie won't be about him. It's about Chun Li recruiting fighters to fight Bison. Ken's arc will be related to Ryu and Akuma. Maybe Ryu and Ken will team up in the final battle but Chun Li will be the one delivering the final blow
>>220426353why aren't you on the front lines, ivana drone is waiting with your name on it
>>220426802>Kitana and Johnny Cage are co-leads.>>220426956>There are two characters in MK2 that have a heroic arc. One of them is Johnny Cage.>>220427654>Did you watch the movie? Cage is the most wanked character in it.Taking all this shit into account, here are the facts for anyone who doesn't know already. The whole "co-lead" and "multiple protagonists" and "Cage is a hero too" shit is total bullshit. The facts:>Kitana's "co-lead" story is about her beating the shit out of Johnny Cage, the other "co-lead" then killing the final boss who's already killed three other male heroes and becoming supreme champion yaaassss kweeeeen you go girl mmmm-hmmmm!>Johnny's "co-lead" story is being a washed up loser who gets his ass beat by his female "co-lead" then later joins part of a team that barely defeats one miniboss by ganging up on him all to pave the way for girlboss winning solo against the final bossWow... so equal! What completely equivalent lead protagonist roles!
>>220426685He gives a replacement laser eye to Kano while he's mocking him calling him a faggot. Later he babbles about an amulet and then give it to Shao Khan.
>>220426353The same mistakes they had with MK12.They never learn, never will.
>>220426463its good for what it is. there is not much you can do for this type of franchise.
>>220427629He doesnt die, he was wounded by Shao Khan and then ascend to become a god (presumably)
>>220427980>Bogged Cage
>>220426802>People calling MK2 woke really shows how dumb and watered down the term has becomewoke is anything not overly pro white male. always was.
>>220429905So according to you he doesn't lose and doesn't die, he just fucks off to become a random force ghost in Earth's time of need? That's gay.
>>220426802This. It's overblown. Was it this bad with Prey and the injun girl?
>>220429935But every white guy in the movie, including ironically Kano, is good and ultimately competent.
>>220429938They probably wanted a door open to a sorta of M1K Liu Kang.
>>220429949>But every white guy in the movie, including ironically Kano, is good and ultimately competent.Yeah, but they aren't the fucking best and don't get to kill the big bad guy so therefor they suck. Women can never upstage men in anyway or it's woke.
>>220426353>Cole Young diesthought he was going to be an original character for the franchise
>>220429938he does lose and he dies. but he actually wanted to die to go to netherrealm and save Kung Lao, whom Liu Kang killed in another fight.
>>220426353>The trailers and ads lied. Johnny Cage isn’t the main character, he’s just a goofy sidekick who gets shit on and never does anything cool.Seems about accurate with what the trailers show.>Lui Kang diesKino. hopefully we get zombie Lui Kang in MK3, like in Deception.>Cole Young dieswho?>Scorpion is barley in itYeah, and no sub-zero. that's a bit gay.>Better than the 2021 movie but worse than the 1995 and Scorpion’s RevengeNot saying much, 1995 is goated.>>220429101literally just the characters.
>>220426353Marketers: *put most famous actor prominently*Retards: "This is a conspiracy to destroy white men!"
>>220429978You need to let go of this hatred for women. At some point it's bi-curious if not gay.You can dislike them without veering into irrationality.
>>220429939yeah, but she was hot, so we give that a pass.>>220429978what about in a competition for who has the fattest titties? in any case, Cole Young defeated Shao Kahn before Kitana and did it cleaner too. but Kahn was cheating at the time
>>2204300001995 is a shit movie
>>220430052Kitana was hotter while doing more believable shit, I don't see the issue
Why did everyone forget that the main character of Mortal Kombat is Liu Kang? The fact that they excluded Johnny from the previous movie because they didn't want a white male lead is weird and stupid because he was never supposed to be the lead in the first place.
>>220430236>Why did everyone forget that the main character of Mortal Kombat is Liu Kang?You mean the one who loses and dies to Shao Kahn so Kitana can win instead?
>>220429999>but he actually wanted to die to go to netherrealm and save Kung LaoFuck the realm he's representing for the tournament I guess, huh? That's retarded.
>>220428598>>220428781Did it even work? Do women really be into Mortal Kombat? I dunno, I think Ed could’ve kept doing as he was? Or maybe that’s wishful thinking on my part. Either way, it sucks.
>>220430397Imagine thinking what you read on 4chan is real.
>>220429938They bring back like 4 characters from the dead in this movie lol. The fact that he ascended instead of getting killed means he's obviously coming back
>>220432281How convenient that Kitana never lost in the first place. Even if Liu Kang comes back he's already confirmed as a bitch and inferior to Kitana.
>>220432305To be fair, everybody was beating Shao Kahn. He was just invincible until the very last fight.I agree they should have cut out all scenes with women in the movie though.
>>220426956>Johnny Cage didn't beat the end boss in the first movie eitherHe defeated the most popular character, Scorpion, and the movie's sub-boss, Goro. His fight with Scorpion is one of the movie's biggest highlights. Johnny isn't portrayed as an incompetent idiot. And you know what's funny about all this? Johnny was never advertised as the "co-lead" in the '95 movie; he's just a supporting character to Liu Kang.
Do females even like Mortal Kombat games? I've never seen one play it but the last time I played an MK game was MK3U so I might be out of touch here.
>>220432432>Do females even like Mortal Kombat games?Yes, many youtubers like LOSTyGIRL and Molly Bee
>>220428964with an amazing knife catch and throw, that potion was op
>>220429101Mortal Kombat is the worst of the popular fighting games. The only reason it became popular is because of fatalities; shitty death animations that required overly complex control inputs.
>>220432633(Block) Down, Down, Up, High Kick is not a particularly complex control input.
>>220432633>overly complexare you a game journalist or a woman?
>>220426353>kitana is the main charactermakes sense given how much shao kahn fucked her life up compared to everyone else in the tournament
>>220432410>Johnny isn't portrayed as an incompetent idiotYes he was.
>>220428911Johnny calls Raiden that
>>220432894In '95 movie Johnny is a competent fighter who was able to defeat both Scorpion and Goro, you fucking retard.
>>220426510Hy do they have a condo in your brain? Snap the fuck out of it, stop watching youtube lmao
>>220433052He's still made fun of by Liu Kang who throws his luggage into the water and Sonya.
>>220432875Fake fans will ignore this. Also,this Kitana never gives Liu Kang the cheat codes on how to win against Kung Lao, like she did with Sub-Zero in the '95 film. Overall, I'd still say the 95 film was the best, but it's not without fault.
>>220433448I would say that Cage in 1995 movie is actually more of a butt of a joke than Cage in the new one. Literally everybody treats him with respect and if anything, they are more disappointed he's so defeatist.
>>220433473Because this Kitana literally has no context for what's going on between Liu Kang and Kung Lao. But I like how she's immediately apologetic towards Johnny.Also "use water to counter ice" is the most captain obvious advice there is.
>>220433506And yet, Liu Kang only won because Kitana gave him that advice. Which is fair, Sub-Zero is better than both of them.
>>220433475>Literally everybody treats him with respectNo, they don't. Liu, Sonya, and Jax make fun of him, saying he'll definitely die in a fight with Baraka. Kano constantly mocks him, too.In '95 movie, Liu Kang initially made fun of him, but after they became friends, mutual respect developed between them.
>>220430397Their most recent game had a 50% sales decline and the movie that took the same creative approach is bombing hard. It's not about the money though. They're waging a culture war.
>>220426382its a movie forum. why are you here?
>>220433554>Their most recent game had a 50% sales declineMK1 still outsold both SF6 and Tekken 8
>>220426353Karl Urban was miscast
>>220433520That moment always cracked me up even as a kid, because they were clearly trying to set up Kitana as this wise and mystical woman, but the advice she keeps giving out is the obvious nonsense you can think of, only presented as mystical mumbo jumbo.This new Kitana is way more down to earth and everytime she shows up to help the Earthrealm, her advice is actually USEFUL.
>>220426353>Scorpion is barley in it
>>220433592He still had some of the best scenes, especially towards the end.
>>220433577>This new Kitana is way more down to earthNo she isn't. She is an arrogant girlboss. And you only like her because you're a simp for her ugly actress.
>>220433592I assume Hiroyuki Sanada isn't cheap and he has shit to do. So they are only using him where it counts.
>>220433602NTA but how was she arrogant? I didn't find any faults with her character other than being naive to trust Jade, but that's not necessarily a bad thing since making her 150 IQ would just be bad writing.
>>220433616He's just shitposting.
>>220426353Everyone who's played the games knew Johnny is a supporting character, retard. He did destroy the macguffin, which allowed Kitana to win though
>>220433569And the next one won't even do that. There's always a delayed effect on these things and squandering trust is far easier than regaining it. They're done.
>>220433569Did it outsell MK games from the real franchise line?
>>220426685Quan Chi is treated as a joke. Sure he's a necromancer and can make organic eyeballs that shoot lasers but he can also be lead around in a hammerlock. He exists to make death mean nothing.
>>220433654I do like that he's a butt of the joke this time around, after like 5 games where he's this writer's favourite mastermind that reads ahead in the script and everything that is ever going on is going "according to plan".
>>220426802I thought it was funny that the first movie had a tacked on story about the color swap ninjas and the sequel had a tacked on story about color swapped kunoichi. I have actual hope that the color swapped cyborgs are the tacked on story of part 3. Hopefully they work in the Cyrax finisher where he blows up the world.
>>220433599>>220433612
kitana has a very strong agp vibe to her
>>220426424>The plot for this leaked years ago.Makes sense considering this movie began filming nearly 3 years ago in mid-2023.
>>220427465I kept wondering where I had seen this chick before until I suddenly remembered the new Naughty Dog game trailer.
>>220429270But they conveniently bring along that necromancer guy with them at the end of the movie; so I'm sure he'll be resurrected if there's a third movie, even though his fucking head exploded.
Does it have cool fighting scenes like the 95 one?
>>220433556>forumkys cringe boomer faggot nigger
My favourite MK character is Cole. It's a shame they kill him off. How does he die in this?
>>220434336she is such a pit slut
