It's Cage's movie
>Baraka’s CGI face is a bit off, uncanny>way too much focus on Kitana, who feels much more like the main character than Cage does, and these scenes are by far the worst in the movie>the problem with Liu Kang is that the actor is just not convincing, he looks too much like a kid and isn’t a very good actor>Sonya has chemistry with Urban at least>Baraka crotch shot made me mark out the slightest bit though predictable>Jax death scene had horrendous CGI>Jade actress doesn’t scream Jade either>Kano and Cage buddying up had promise>Cage’s personality starts to shift to the generic “we must rescue Earthrealm.. lord Raiden has sent us..”>this movie isn’t very good, 5/10 at absolute best>Noob Saibot appears, riiiight>Of course Ed Boon has an early cameo with the worst acting I’ve seen in a while>Kitana is literally “the chosen one” oookay then, have fun with that. Holy trash acting from this woman>OMG he said get over here! Epic. Epic for the win.>Kitana solos Shao Kahn with hardly a problem, Cage just remotely turns off Kahn’s invincibility mode so she can gib Kahn into next week>OMG three elemental beams must be combined to eliminate Noob Saibot!!!>marked out a bit on Cage’s predictable shadow kick>holy fucking girlboss moment when Kahn just stands there getting obliterated by Kitana>she hasn’t earned it>quan chi does not look good, very much looks like cosplay. Miscast>any reason to watch this? Not really, but it could have been worse. check out the two or three decent Cage fights on YouTube then play the 1995 MK theme and you’re good, also go back to watch the Cage/Scorpion forest scene, while you’re at it watch the animated movie again to relive your childhood when you had it on VHS
>karl urban is 53 years oldD R O P P E D ROPPED
>>220553407In truth, it’s Kitana’s movie. They literally pull a bait and switch on the audience. However, Cage does keep the movie afloat- without Urban, this movie is absolutely nothing.
>>220553438In this case it just barely makes sense considering Cage here is an old, washed up and assumedly out-of-work actor.
>>220553693And for the record the movie is not worth watching, in my opinion
>>220553693Wasn't this always the case? Great martial artist and stunt actor, but a washed up proper actor?
>>220553720To my knowledge, having played basically every MK game up until the newer ones, he’s always been a megastar and one of the biggest actors in Hollywood during the events of the MK tournaments.
>>220553755I guess i'm being influenced by the original MK movie.
>>220553992Could be, though I think in the 95 film and animated companion film he was still a superstar, or at least was very well known and still landing gigs.
>>220554123The problem was bad press. They make him look like a phony action star. I think his arc in the original movie was proving to himself that he could fight for real.
>>220553720>>220554123In the games up to MK11 he's a hugely successful star at the time of the first Mortal Kombat, then gets older and more mature as the series progresses. In the first movie he's still a big star, but wants to prove his martial arts skills aren't fake.The washed up actor thing I think started with the MK Legacy web series, then they put it in the latest game with the new timeline.
>>220553407Urban was chosen explicitly because it was not going to be a Cage-centric movie, and as such, needed a notable actor to anchor. It could not have been a Kitana movie because the character is too obscure by comparison, and Lui Kang has been done to utter death (plus, Asian leads don't tend do generate box office).If they were going to make it revolve around Cage, they would have been better off with Daniel Bernhardt (Ciro / MK Conquest; a Smith / Matric Reloaded), and then cast Urban as Kano, or some other A-lister as someone else -- to shoulder the anchoring role duties..
>>220554384>hugelyAdjectives do not magically become adverbs.
>>220554395you have been grossly misinformed
>>220553377Urban shouldn't be this shit. He should be making more Dredd movies instead
>>220553377Comical horse shit basically with ape skin head jade
Johnny Cash being washed up isnt that much different from recent games. Hes not even clowned on, everyone on the Earth Realm team keeps telling him how much they believe in him. He does good in every fight except his first one and was the one who destroyed the amulet. and yeah the movie is centered around Kitana but it is a Shao Khan story and Id even argue shes more interesting and important to MK than fucking Cole Young
>>220554224Yup, you’re right. That and learning about the bonds of friendship, fighting to protect something, and becoming just a bit more humble>>220554384Ah I haven’t played the latest, interesting
>>220554549Instead, that faggot director who ruined Thor decided upon ruining Dredd by him directing a reboot.
>>220554389>and Lui Kang has been done to utter death (plus, Asian leads don't tend do generate box office).This is dumb.
>>220553377It didn't make sense how Johnny was meant to just fight to the death without any real preparation or warning. And Kitana had those fucking steel fans or whatever they were and could have killed him in 2 seconds if it were "realistic", but of course she later implies that she went easy on him.
>>220553377What is this, the Epstein files?
>>220555603>ruined ThorHow do you "ruin" feces?
What exactly happens to Cole?
>>220557691You can tell like mostly Adam Sandler who brings in cameos of his friends, he'll bring in that Neeew Zeeeland fatty as a cast in the film. So MUCH cringe.
>>220554389>Asian leads don't tend do generate box officeUnless they're Jackie Chan or Jet Li.
This movie's flopping so hard it's not even funny.
>>220554389Bernhardt as Cage wouldn't work. Not only would it be too on the fucking nose as he's the White Sidecharacter in Konquest, he's not good enough of an actor.
It's strange that Kano is a good guy now, but I understand why. He's one of the few Mortal Kombat characters who isn't a boring, stoic warrior.
>>220554549His career is really shit.I guess it's because of his accent.
>>220557969He gets his head smushed by Kahn’s hammer in a 1v1, but imo Cole puts up too much of a fight just for the sake of “he was the first movie’s MC but everyone dislikes him, let’s make him do better against Kahn than he should before he dies”, actually Kahn doesn’t go over in this fight like he should have
>>220553693 old retired johnny cage is simply from a time skip where everyone else is also old and has kids too. He's supposed to be young like the rest of the crew
This movie was exactly what I was expecting in a good way. Much better than the first one.
Street fighter is going to be a way more honest film that isn't ashamed of the source material
I hate that they took off Shao Kahn's mask. Seemed so unnecessary Mortal Kombat is at its best when it's goofy and over the top and breaks its own rules imo. Like at the end when Lui Kang gets stabs directly in the chest and looks at Shao Kahn and says "i can't die yet,,,..,...i'm needed for another plot point" had me laughing so fuckin hard
>>220562000He unlocks Raiden mode (fire) and just refuses to elaborate and leaves his friends to deal with the villain
>>220553377>50 foot tall wall of copenot going to bother watching itfuck them
>>220562043p based unfortunately
>>220553693>>220561053Noped out when they showed his dogshit "80s" action movie. Doesn't understand the character at all. You can do washed up Cage only because movies now are fake tranny gay Jewish. Alro hate how this series doesn't understand the aesthetic exotic dark sky doom of MK, instead it dolls on the Global Asian Community bullshit like it's 2015. Baraka shouldn't be a CGI Jhorror graboid. You need a Rob Bottin or Stan Winston approach. Urban is too old, he's why it flopped tbqh, why does he have frosted tips.
>>220553720No, it's a tired attempt at irony, that also serves as messaging that tough white men are ironic. Cage is supposed to be a more successful charismatic burger Van Damme. They offered the role to Glen Powell lmao. Will there be a third movie? It's tanking hard, that one exec is seething
>>220554389>Lui Kang has been done to utter deathWe got one fucking movie that released 30 years ago. And then everything else was shit. Because these retards have no idea how to make a simple MK movie outside of 95.
>>220561241What a shit merit.
>>220554123He was. In both films he touts to Liu Kang and Sonya that he's a huge movie star. Which is why he has that attitude and treats Liu Kang like a helper boy.
what in the fuck does "marked out" mean, you wigger bitches?
REPTILE
>>220554389They trick the audience into thinking it’s a Cage movie, but it’s an agenda Kitana movie. Cage is mostly played for laughs with an underlying “awakening hero” motif, problem is they don’t develop him or his awakening enough, like when the shadow kick arrives it doesn’t feel earned enough, but the viewer just accepts it out of thirst for something worthwhile to happen. Even his superhuman arm dodges during the Baraka fight were a bit sudden. But I was pretty much okay with both scenes, if only because the rest of the movie was so lackluster. More watchable than the previous movie but mostly only because of Cage scenes.
>>220563862Newfaggot, go back.
>>220553407It isn’t.It is Kitana’s movie.It is a Woke Bait and Switch.
>>220561345It does seem more authentically in tune with its (male) audience. First teaser images looked kinda weird but that trailer was surprisingly convincing
>>220564101Let me guess, the women (especially nonwhite, which seem to be all the women including raceswapped Cammy) are gonna girlboss and outstage the dumb, cowardly, and inferior straight white men like Guile.
>>220564079And I am glad its bombing
>>220564079This>>220564170Same
>>220564166No, seems like they are playing it straight. There's a thing where Ken is the main hero apparently but Ryu trying to save Sakura is the only plot description that's been given.
The movies used to dictate the plot of the games since Ed Boon would often copy shit from the movies to put in the games. This was a good thing. Now they are using the game's stories to dictate the plot of the movies. This is a bad thing.
>>220564166>raceswapped Cammybro
>>220564020no one on 4chan has ever said "marked out", go be a nigger somewhere else
>>220564661it's a wrestling term
>>220564661Wrong zoomoid, take your newfaggotry and go back.
>>220554549>>220559128He only has one upcoming project listed on IMDB, is it over for him after The Boys and this mediocre flick Urbanbros?
Thoughts on Kitana?
>>220565687Cute and talented
>>220553438He pulls it off successfully.
>>220565687>>220565724Very bad actress, reminds me of that other Asian actress from Rooster. Both are terrible at their craft.
>>220554740Jade sucked. Pointless character without energy or talent from the actress, seemingly only added for DEI points (the negress (Kitana’s BFF) working for the bad guy redeems herself and saves the day in being necessary to defeat Saibot) they even threw the viewer a bone by just having the two blacks fight each other, but still overtly extolling the virtues and compassion of both characters that are sans flaws or nuance in their personality.
>>220566386She was in the film to be Kitana's lesbian love interest.
>>220564079>Woke Bait and Switch.You people are really fucking retarded. Quit browsing /pol/ and unplug your tv from the socket if you can't resist turning on the news. There is literally nothing gayy in this movie unless you consider bald Jade (which is weirdly semi-hot) to be pandering. It's Cage oriented movie with Kitana's story running in parallel in the background.
>>220567109>None of the heroine's are interested in men in any way>Kintana and jade sit beside each other in king and queen chairs and exchange knowing glances
>>220566082She was great, especially for someone so new and inexperienced with big movies
Cast her
>>220564101The trailer looked nothing like Street Fighter. It's a shame that Cody agreed to do this.
>>220554882How is it a Shao Kahn story when he has so few scenes? He’s just the big bad to Kitana’s underdog. Also Cage couldn’t have destroyed the amulet if it wasn’t 4v1, he just finishes it off with a single shadow kick while Jade, Kano, and Scorpion are giving it their max power elemental beams. Doesn’t really make Cage seem that strong even at the very end.
>>220561345Lol that movie looks like something you'd playing on a TV screen in Idiocracy.
>>2205533776/10. Meh. I have a complaint. The female actors had no boobiess at all. Come on. Give us boobies. More cheasecake, please!!
>>220566386>(the negress (Kitana’s BFF) working for the bad guy redeems herself and saves the day in being necessary to defeat Saibot)jade starts almost every mortal kombat plotline as a villain
>>220567109>bald Jade (which is weirdly semi-hot)Fuck off, Ed
>>220567630>Also Cage couldn’t have destroyed the amulet if it wasn’t 4v1We don't know that since he unlocked his "arcana" and immediately destroyed it afterwards.In the games, Johnny Cage's shadow magic was the only thing that could bring down Shinnok, so it makes sense.
>>220567599Being a redhead you know she'd be black.
>>220567599No. If they aren’t in UMK3 then I don’t want them on my screen.>>220567573Not at all. Are you Chinese by chance?
>>220561345Did you see the trailer? No one would know this is Street Fighter if you change the title.These Mortal Kombat films are authentic even if they're bad because it's obvious they're video game adaptations.
>>220567675>In the games, Johnny Cage's shadow magic was the only thing that could bring down Shinnok, so it makes sense.If this movie followed the games, it'd be very different. So no, it doesn't make any sense.
>>220567693>Not at allPractically everyone who has seen the movie disagrees, and for good reason. She's one of the good castings, as opposed to, say, Raiden. I can speak on this with authority, believe me.
>>220567702The fuck are you even saying? You've Ryu in the trailer, and the actors are all dressed as the characters from the game.
>>220567693>No. If they aren’t in UMK3 then I don’t want them on my screen.Her debut game is basically a UMK3 remake
>>220567706>Shinnok's amulet gets destroyed by the same person who defeats Shinnok in the games>this is nonsensical?
>>220567723>I can speak on this with authority, believe me.As part of WB marketing team?
>>220553377I've been seeing this thumbnail the whole day and I assumed it was about that upcoming Green Lantern tv show.
>>220554882The joke is Johnny is the only one without the video game powers so he gets tossed around a lot and has to run and improvise the whole movie. Also he doesn't get with Sonya. So having future/old johnny with no Cassie cage is just weird
>>220567739So? If this followed the games Liu Kang would be the one defeating Shao Kahn.
>>220567726What in the trailer seems like Street Fighter to you? It's a wholly original story very loosely based on Street Fighter because there was a hadooken shown briefly.If it ends up being good, it will be because it swayed too much, like Joker with Joaquin Phoenix swayed from the source material.
>>220567743As someone who knows about MK and can coincidentally recognize good acting. I.e. the exact person who can review this in detail.
>>220567675If Noob Saibot wasn’t totally immobilized and stunlocked by three whole characters attacking with everything they had, would Cage have landed his shadow kick? The assumption is that he needed his buddies to help him out on that one. The movie doesn’t come close to implying Cage could solo Saibot even if his powers were fully unlocked. Seeing as how it was a specific choice by the filmmakers to make sure Saibot stood still with the help of 3 other fighters while Cage squared up and unlocked his shadow kick then and there, delivering it with zero resistance by Saibot, we can assume they want the viewers to think that he did need their help.
>>220567766We don't even know what the story of the movie is like, other than Ryu being called to help Ken or whatever.Though i agree that Chun Li being the one going around recruiting the fighters is just weird.
>>220567760So you're saying Johnny Cage isn't a hollywood actor in the games since he was one in the movie and the movie is inherently innacurate?
>>220567779>As someone who knows about MK and can coincidentally recognize good acting.Yeah, no. I don't trust your judgement or your taste, Mr. Shill.
Kitana and Jade’s stories were terrible. As “AI generated” of a story as it getsJohnny Cage’s was a bit better and I actually liked Baraka’s face turn in theory but in practice it was confusing and nonsensical Did we really need Kano, Shung Lao and Scorpion all back? Sub Zero as Noob Saibot, ok, but I feel like the others would’ve been better served to have waitedI wish they invested more in actual martial artists and fight choreography
>>220567806In the games Johnny is a movie superstar and capable fighter, whereas in the movie he neither of those things. So yeah, it is inaccurate. I won't even comment about his age or how he doesn't get with Sonya..
>>220567781It's hard to say, because again, Johnny Cage didn't get his powers until it was time to destroy the amulet. What can be said is that the other 3 couldn't have dealt with the amulet or arguably Noob Saibot.> The movie doesn’t come close to implying Cage could solo Saibot even if his powers were fully unlocked.It doesn't imply the opposite either, so it's all speculation.
>>220567806Cage is supposed to be cocky and loveable, not wahhh I can't do this. I'm not good enough
>>220567843>It doesn't imply the opposite either, so it's all speculation.Given their past history and interviews, I’m more inclined to doubt the producers would do anything positive for a white male character.
>>220567812Not my problem. I don't have a platform, but other people who know the franchise/characters do, and they've given their opinions on it.So far, the only truly negative reviews I've seen were from people who are not familiar with the source material. And that's sort of incosequential for a video game movie. You ideally want to entice the general audience when making any movie, but I don't expect that from a vidya movie.
>>220567601MK II is the latest example proving how source autists and woke culture warriors can't carry a movie. You're small potatoes compared to the casual male audience. See also D&D: Honor Among Thieves, Transformers One (and the whole post-Bayverse), Furiosa, etc
>>220567868>Not my problem. I don't have a platform, but other people who know the franchise/characters do, and they've given their opinions on it.I don't trust their judgment or taste either. I only rely on my own opinions, since I'm not foolish.
>>220553713The first one was mid as fuck, why would anyone expect this to be better?
>>220567839> whereas in the movie he neither of those things.He's both of those things. His character arc is that he starts off from the position of a washed up actor but regains his mojo by the end of the movie. Yes, it's obviously something they wrote for the movie, but it's not a bastardization of the character, nor was he actually disrespected more than he has been in the games or other movies.
>>220567896>His character arc is that he starts off from the position of a washed up actor but regains his mojoNot accurate to the games at all, thanks.
>>220567887>I don't trust their judgment or taste eitherI do, since who else would be trusted when reviewing a vidya game movie than actual fans of that franchise?
>>220567894Becuase they addressed a lot of fan complaints from the first one and managed to make an objectively superior movie. Neither are Oscar-worthy but there's a blue chance in Hell any video game movie will ever do that, unless it's Shadow of the Colossus or some shit.
>>220553377i saw the trailer and its capeshit quippy dialogue. i know its shit and some wrestling esl fag like oo somewhat enjoying it just makes it all the more evident its shit
>>220567911It's a movie, it's not a 1:1 adaptaiton of a storyline we've already seen. Doesn't mean it's innacurate to what could conceivably happen to those characters. Making Johnny Cage a Shaolin Monk would be innacurate.
>>220567942The one arguing that the movie is totes accurate to the game isn't me.
>>220553377didn't he say it's good?
>>220565687Boobs aren't big enough
>>220567929>Becuase they addressed a lot of fan complaints from the first one and managed to make an objectively superior movie.While making a lot of new terrible choices that ruin the movie both as an adaptation and as a good film in general.
>>220567959It's accurate in the ways that matter. Tobey Macguire Spider-Man is innacurate to the character in a variety of ways, but none that actually matter, so this is similar, to give a comparison. The first Mortal Kombat movie had innacurate elements and still managed to be considered the best video game movie for a long time.
>>220567976It's also total nonsense as a sequel that either retcons or completely drops every established plot point from the movie that came directly before it
>>220567843Yes, but the original post I responded to was implying that Cage landing the killing blow on the amulet was in support of his argument that they made Cage look stronger and more capable than people are saying, which would be a far cry from how straight white males have been portrayed in media for decades, however I’m saying that it’s not in support of his argument because regardless of whether he could have solo’d him or not with full powers, or even 2v1 whatever, he didn’t do so, and it must be assumed that the filmmakers made this choice to have him 4v1 Saibot for a specific reason. If they really wanted to demonstrate Cage’s newfound abilities, have him just fight Saibot alone (even after the initial 4v1) for a few minutes and be done with it. But no, they need the other 3 to hold Saibot down while Cage performs the coup de grace.
>>220567965It's an objective improvement on the first one that was more or less on part with a Scy Fy channel movie, aside from the opening which was admittedly good.
>>220567986>It's accurate in the ways that matter.It doesn't, because the movie is fucking awful. It would matter if it translated to a good story, which it doesn't.
>>220553377Flop status?
>>220568014Your loss I guess? Sorry you didn't like it and wasted your money. Has happened to me more times than I can count.I was perfectly conent with this from a [current year] Hollywood production. It's about as good as you can hope for it to be.
>>220553377why does /tv/ want this to fail so bad? it was ok
>>220567702I just watched the trailer, how is it not Street Fighter? It looks like it'll be miles better than Mortal Flop as well.
>>220568088>how is it not Street FighterIt looks like a completely original film that no one would recongize as Street Fighter if not for Ryu's actor wearing the proper attire in a few of the shots and Blanka right at the end.Westerners can't adapt Street Fighter unless it's some turbo-autistic fan of the franchise imo.
>>220567929Kitana being the main character, when she's not even good eye candy, is enough for me not to watch it.
>>22056807495% Street Fighter fans and the odd 5% who are fans of MK and didn't think it was up to par. Even though the fact that it was better than the last movie and the MK1 game (which was trash) are still achievements.
>>220568088If the shills here were simply defending this movie, I might think they’re just regular users who, for some baffling reason, genuinely enjoyed it and feel compelled to stand up for something they liked. But since they keep randomly bringing up the Street Fighter movie out of nowhere, I can only conclude they’re actually part of the WB marketing team, worried about the competition.I mean, how is this not ST?https://youtu.be/Xt4X4FvXk2A
>>220568168What are some actual eye candy Asian actresses in Hollywood who can speak ok-English? Anna Sawai? I can't think of any unironically.
>>220567942Johnny shouldn't be that old at that point in the game ,, he should have a child with Sonya by that time
>>220568187It's clearly the other way around since Street Fighter got brought up first >>220561345And given that most people who saw Mortal Kombat 2 DID enjoy it, the burfen of proof is on you, that you're not a Paramount shill.I don't think you're a shill though, I think this is console faggotry which has always been lame.
>>220553377I thought it was Green Lantern from the thumbnail
>>220568175>Even though the fact that it was better than the last movie and the MK1 game (which was trash) are still achievements.Not great achievements, since the MK reboot movie was all around fucking awful.
>>220568187It's like an SNL skit that takes itself seriously. Not that it wants to be a parody, but that it feels fake. Like a polished Dragon Ball Evolution with high production value. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm not feeling it. Seems like Fast and Furious with SF characters.
>>220568187It does seem weird. Just watching the trailers of both movies, Street Fighter just looks better. Raiden is such a horrible casting choice as well, why would you cast someone that speaks broken English for the God of Thunder? Jade looks ugly. Kitana looks mid. Johnny Cage is too old. None of the cast has good charisma. Street Fighter looks way better. Might actually go watch it.
>>220568272>Seems like Fast and Furious with SF characters.The Fast and Furious movies are all great, even the sillier ones. Now you're trampling on my Latin culture, ese.
>>220568187It's clearly street fighter fans who are shitting on MK the most, as if gaijins can adapt a japanese property the right wayat least MK was always western-made
Anons are just being honest. There are a couple shills in this thread defending the movie. Good non-agenda movies (basically nonexistent in modern times) don’t need shills to defend them, and if you’ve been here for 21+ years like I have then shills are effortless to spot.
>>220564079>woke bait and switch>the person who wins the most fights and breaks the medallion is CageI wonder what kind of brain damage you have to sustain to be this upset.
>>220568198Why does she have to be Asian? Just needs to be an attractive brunette with big titties.
>>220568295Gone with the Wind is great as well. It's not Street Fighter though.For a proper adaptation of Street Fighter, look no further than the anime. There's a point one percent chance the upcoming movie is even mildly as good as that. This is a fact.
>>220568322Meant for >>220568074
>>220568303I never played Street Fighter growing up. Loved MK and the original 90s movies. This movie just looks bad and Street Fighter looks superior. Sorry shill. Now we just need a Tekken movie.
>>220568046>implying that any of us wasted money on this trash
>>220553377MK was silly fun in the vein of Big Trouble in Little China and old kung fu movies, but Schnoz hates fun and beauty.
>>220560803Cole killed Goro in the first movie. Not too far fetched he'd put up a fight.
>>220568322>Anons are just being honestNah, it's salty Street Fighter fans. Imagine genuinely giving a fuck about console war faggotry. Was there a similar situation with Sonic and Mario? I outgrew those so I genuinely don't know.> Good non-agenda moviesThe public figures that call out agendas consisently have not trashed this movie. There are aspects of it that can be trashed but it's mostly to do with other shit, not it being woke per se.
>>220568294The casting in these recent MK movies are all over the place.Kitana, Jade, and Mileena are portrayed as different types of mystery meat. Johnny Cage and Scorpion seem far too old for their roles. Raiden struggles to speak English and move naturally. Liu Kang lacks charisma, he’s meant to be a not-Bruce Lee figure, with Lee/Kang having two defining traits: being Asian and a cocky smart-ass. And then there’s the inclusion of an original character. Sonya is a man-face woman with a perpetual scowl.
>>220568365>I criticize movies I haven't even watchedCool but that just discredits your opinion on it
>>220568373Why would Street Fighter fans he salty when the movie isn't even out yet to compare?
>>220568326>wins the most fightsCage won two fights, lost one. Lost one to Kitana by the way. Kitana wins three fucking fights. Lying cunt.
>>220568363Yeah, I'm not buying it.>Now we just need a Tekken movieFor what? The franchise to be tarnished? Weren't you concerned about this, or did you drop the act?
>>220568373By public figures do you mean literal glowniggers that are used to control the culture war narrative? Don’t make me laugh. The jews and their demonic masters will always control both sides of the “opposition” to make sure your perceptions and beliefs are in line with their goals.
>>220568272>Seems like Fast and Furious with SF characters.going to be very popular across the globe then
>>220568398Good question. I'm guessing it's the whole weaboo vs westaboo shit and it comes with the territory. Even though Mortal Kombat clearly has weeb inspirations as well. Yes, it was made by westerners, but that doesn't mean everything the west has ever conceived is garbage.
>>220568394Correct
>>220568428Why do jews want me to hate woke movies?
>>220568421Do you think everyone you disagree with is the same person? This MK movie looks bad for a Mortal Kombat movie and worse as a random movie. I say that as someone who actually enjoyed the games. Sorry shill.
>franchise star character looks into the camera and proudly announcers he's NOT the chosen one. She is!>The Crowd chanting Kintana Our Queen!It was all too on the nose. You can tell they wanted a Kintana movie but were obligated to include the boys
>>220568396Those of us who watched it, like I have, watched a cam. What is your major malfunction? Or are you a clueless shill?
>>220568440if I was a street fighter fan I'd be mad hollywood will turn my franchise into a mockerythey already turned cammie into a brownoid
Street Fighter movie looks like garbage with half the cast being nu-WWE wrestlersYou cant improve upon perfection
>>220568466>franchise star character looks into the camera and proudly announcers he's NOT the chosen one. She is!Reminder that shills were insisting this never happened
>>220568476>I'm a Mortal Kombat fan but I watched a shitty cam rip which can make no movie look goodYeah, totally not suspicious.
>>220568440Dude, I love MK. When we were kids, I broke my brother's arm in three places after we got home from the cinema watching the original MK because we just couldn’t stand still. He didn’t even feel it at first. I watched all the live action movies, TV series, web-series, and animation. I really wanted to like this reboot. Honestly, I did. But the first movie was terrible, and the second one, despite claiming it would fix things, ended up creating even more problems. In the end, it was just as bad as the first, but for entirely different reasons.
>>220568483Careful, you'll be called a shill for speaking truths. Instead of being mad at a movie that the majority of people agreed is decent or non-offensive, Street Fighter fans should have standards for their own franchise.
>>220568481>they already turned cammie into a brownoidAt least she is still blond, and somewhat hot.
>>220568459They want you embroiled in a particular fake and staged “culture war” which distracts you from everything else they’re doing. Do you think they care what you hate as long as they’re still getting you to give all your attention and energy to exactly what they want them to go to? You’re still getting brainwashed either way, believing all of this is so real, and the talking heads on the internet being honest and authentic.
>>220568521MK movie sucks, shill. You don't have to bring up Street Fighter to distract from that.
>>220568522>at least it's not liquid shit in the park, it solidified
Literally just watched.They finally nailed the campiness and decent fights.
>>220568548Vergonha do caralho, hein? Como você gostou dessa merda?
>>220568548We all totally believe you
>>220568540I can freely shit on everything I dislike and praise what I like because I don't have an agenda like you. This is all about Street Fighter vs Mortal Kombat for your childish brain.If you're not a shill, can you honestly say the Street Fighter movie can ever hope to be as good as the anime?
>>220568495Not one of my criticisms was about how the movie “looked” besides the CGI during the final Jax scene, which a camrip is not going to trick me over. The looks of this movie aren’t the problem and were never in question, so give up on your feeble attempt at goalpost moving.
>>220568521I dont even see what people see in it, it looks like a bad movie. The animated movie took itself seriously and it was a badass action filled romp with great animation. This new movie wants you to think everything about Street Fighter is a joke and cringe and stupid. No thanks.
>>220568526Nigga I'm not going to like Oprah Winfrey as the Terminator in a reboot of that franchise. I don't need a jew to "direct me" to hate that concept.I'm not going to like female Ghostbusters regardless of what jews want or don't want me to do. So no, the people who share my views and voice them on platforms like Youtube are no "jewish pawns", and if they happen to be, I still agree with their opinions on movies a lot of the time because they're fucking true.
>>220568548>brownoid has shit tasteClockwork
>>220568590>The animated movie took itself seriously and it was a badass action filled romp with great animation.Absolutely.>This new movie wants you to think everything about Street Fighter is a joke and cringe and stupid.Also true. I guess if you're a diehard fan you'll like it but that's not Street Fighter to me. It's clearly made for a new current year audience and mass appeal.
>>220568572>can you honestly say the Street Fighter movie can ever hope to be as good as the anime?Obviously not, and this MK movie sucks. Next.
>>220568590You want everything gritty and everyone in all black?
>>220568581No movie ever looked or felt good in a camrip format. It's borderline torture to watch.
>>220568629>Obviously notAt least we can agree on that. So *maybe* you're a Paramount shill, but you're still a consolewar faggot. >>220568630NTA but yes we do.
>>220568630Did the animated Street Fighter movie have everyone dressed in black? Sorry I want a movie centered around martial arts to be cool and not a total clown show that looks like an SNL skit. People shat on the '90s live action one but now its cool to be lame cause its "ironic"? Fuck outta here.
>>220568655you're not* a Paramount shill. Still not sure though.>>220568660It didn't. It's just a trick question which is why you say yes and move on. The Street Fighter anime is as good an adaptation as you could want from that franchise.
>>220568609Of course you won’t, and they know that. Yet they also know you’ll listen to your glowie masters unquestioningly, and will eat up slightly lighter propaganda like this movie, and get you to “agree” with it even when the mind control propaganda is under your nose, as long as your federal ecelebs tell you it’s acceptable. What you don’t understand is they will gradually get you to agree with more and more bullshit, without you even realizing it, which is exactly why they release movies like this and push the false “non-woke” narrative about it. The fact that you honestly think these ecelebs are just normal people and don’t purely exist to brainwash you is unfortunate but highly mistaken.
>>220568404You mean the one to Kitana where he was magically transported to against his will and had no idea what was going on and didn't want to hit a woman at first while have not even competively fought in decades(literally since the 80s) which he lost just because he fell off a roof on accident? Oh no, the horror! How woke!!!!11!!1!! Kitana doesn't really win the final fight, she's freed by Sonya and finishes the job of like every single other combatant against a tired Shao Kahn who was unkillable but still fought like every single person for the past 30 minutes with no rest. Also again, without Johnny destroying the medallian she would have been ripped in half probably unless he wanted to chain her up again.
>>220553377Saw it today. Itwas actually pretty good.
>>220568655>but you're still a consolewar faggotBecause i think this MK movie sucks? You're stupid.
>>220568688>You mean the one to Kitana where he was magically transported to against his will and had no idea what was going on and didn't want to hit a woman at first while have not even competively fought in decades(literally since the 80s) which he lost just because he fell off a roof on accidentYou do know that the writers could have given an entirely different context, and an entirely different outcome, right? They made their choices.
>>220568680Thing is, I don't always agree with e-celebs or people who review movies. Even when they call out "woke" shit that I don't perceive as woke.The fact remains that if such a person doesn't consider a movie woke, it's not woke to a degree that is on par with most other current movies, which are more woke.I can see that myself, I don't need to be told. But them also seeing it just created confirmation.
>>220568639Yet my criticisms have nothing to do with how the movie looks or feels, besides the aforementioned poor CGI scene. It’s about the decisions the filmmakers made, the script, the acting, and subversive themes.
>>220568660Reminder Legends of chun li took itself seriously and killed every bad guy even though street fighter is rarely about death ,and it still sucked. SF is always colorful and lighter hearted in an 80s cartoon way
>>220568728>The fact remains that if such a person doesn't consider a movie woke, it's not woke to a degree that is on par with most other current movies, which are more woke.The Drinker has terrible taste and tends to delay giving his review, seemingly waiting to see what the general consensus will be. He looks like a fucking human deer.
>>220568699I'm pretty sure most of the criticism here towards this movie is from SF fans, yes. It's not exactly a conensus that the movie is shit, like we had a consensus on the first one. I'm sure even then someone liked the first one (I didn't), but that's besides the point.It's hard to tell who is genuine and who is consolewarfagging.
Why is this movie being shilled so much?
>>220568750>SF is always colorful and lighter hearted in an 80s cartoon wayThe live action movie and american cartoon did that and they both blew cock. The animated movie is still the standard and this new film is gonna suck shit
>>220568748Who watches a cam rip of a movie they're supposedly interested in? Can you at least admit you expected it to be bad, or wanted it to be bad? Because otherwise that's just weird. Again, no movie is enjoyable as a camrip. Not the biggest cinematic masterpiece.
>>220568757>I'm pretty sure most of the criticism here towards this movie is from SF fans, yesOkay. So you're just a paranoid shill, got it. The MK movie sucks.
>>220568750>SF is always colorful and lighter hearted in an 80s cartoon wayNot to that extent.>>220568780Agreed.
>>220568788>Can you at least admit you expected it to be bad, or wanted it to be bad?The fuck kind of bullshit is this?
>>220568807No one watches a cam rip of a movie they're interested in, unless it's a case where you just want to spoil the film for someone, or they know it's going to be shit and they just do it for entertainment purposes.No Mortal Kombat fan would see a camrip of this, that much is certain.
>>220568728They aren’t “also seeing it”, they just say what they’re told to say. If you happen to agree with what they say, fine, but that’s why they’re saying it. They want to get you to trust them and will tell you truth before slipping in lies unnoticed. The goal is to get you to accept those lies as truth, partially due to you trusting them just because they curate what they say and their entire personas for the sole reason to get you to trust them. And that is exactly what they do.
>>220568833You really want that guy to buy a ticket, huh?
>>220553377Just got back from the theater. It's unironically Kino and Karl urban is perfect as cage
>>220568840Kek
>>220568793I'm not expecting everyone to like a 6/10 movie. What I'm saying is that your specific criticism of the movie seem to be fueled more by you being a salty Street Fighter fan or a shill who is guilty of what you're accusing me of.
>>220568773Hollywood's latest feminist culture war release
>>220568840>I'm a huge Mortal Kombat fan, so you have to trust me on this review>I watched the film in the shittiest way possible btw, but I'm totally a fan, you have to trust me
>>220568833>No Mortal Kombat fan would see a camrip of thisDefinitely not a shill guys. Guess we have to go buy a movie ticket if we're true mortal kombat fans, he got us.
>>220568839Yeah anon, ecelebs want me to like this film in particular aside from all the other woke movies. It's secretly the most important film of the year.
>>220568883Thanks to you, I’m going to download the movie, travel to Africa, and screen it for the kids there.
>>220568560Ué, vc esperava uma obra prima? É o mesmo naipe que os jogos
>>220568862>What I'm saying is that your specific criticism of the movieWhat have been my criticisms? You have alluded to other posts that weren't even made by me multiple times now.
>>220568894Unironically yes. You go see it in the movies or watch a proper HD rip when it comes out. Thanks for proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that you're not a Mortal Kombat fan though, so your arguments get tossed out the window.
>>220553377I remember when the first photos of the movie came out I said Cage looks like he was going to be made into a white joke and you all made fun of me for it. I'm starting to think this board like 50% jewish Hollywood execs.
>>220568879Wrong time to put this out. Word of mouth probably killed it.
>>220568919It's half trannies since autists tend to become them.
>>220568900Even an African would have more self-respect than to watch a cam-rip
>>220568720And there's nothing wrong with those choices. Why are you so scared of women in mortal kombat? Who hurt you?
>>220568914You do realize people can be fans of the game and not care about this flop of a movie, right? Or do you expect everyone to consoom anything and everything that's related to something they enjoy? You're a retarded shill.
>>220568919Johnny Cage is glazed hard in the movie. And all the white male characters ultimately win, even Kano. Meanwhile, Jax got killed, Lui Kangh fucked off to God knows where, Kung Lao was killed, etc.
>>220568904Certamente não os jogos originais, que têm seu mérito, nem o filme original, que é um clássico, muito menos o remake de aventura Shaolin Monks, que conseguiu condensar de forma coerente e bem elaborada a história dos três primeiros jogos.Só se estivermos comparando com os jogos mais recentes, que são ruins e estão sempre sendo reiniciados. Como gostar desse filme? Por favor, cara.
>>220568959Shit bait. Try again
>>220568788You are wrong, I went in with neutrality and was hoping Cage had a few good scenes at least, that’s it. If anything I was more on the positive side because I like to enjoy the little things even when the whole is jewish propaganda. Cage did have a couple decent fight scenes, but the rest of the movie was simply bad, only slightly better than the previous which is almost entirely due to Cage. It’s interesting how the standards of some have dropped so unbelievably low, exactly as planned.
This movie's fucked no matter what.
>>220568964I don't, no. No Mortal Kombat "fan" would watch a cam rip, regardless if the film is anal cancer or not. You clearly have an agenda to shill Street Fighter as if it's a competition. Well, maybe for you it is, since you're either a Paramount shill or a fanboy.
>>220568991Presuming it is, from a box office standpoint, that makes all the fake fans' arguments even more sad. If it made 3 bucks at the box office, why care if 3 people enjoyed it?Seems to me like it's either shills seething at it, or SF fanboys.
>>220569022it's SF fanboys but it won't make that movie any betterwe ALL lose from hollywood
>>220568993>muh street fighterYou're incapable of defending this shit movie. You claim true fans of Mortal Kombat would blindly go support this slop just because it has MK branded on it. I mentioned nothing about Street Fighter and I don't care if that movie flops too. You're a retarded shill.
>>220553377I thought OP was about Green Lantern
>>220568780 Street fighter never sold itself on blood and guts but it's obvious there will be drama outside the tournament there's nothing wrong with what they showed in the initial tournament
>>220568833>>220568914>>220568993You’re either mentally lost or a bad shill, either way your posts are pathetic. I’ve been playing MK longer than you’ve been alive, your movie is complete jewish trash.>>220568898This and plenty of other movies they’ll tell you to either love or hate, the point is getting you to agree with their misdirections, lies, half-truths. I can tell from your writings that you’re a young zoomie and a newfag, that’s fine, but I encourage you to start thinking for yourself and stop listening to glownigger shills on the internet. You’re literally one of their main mind control demographics.
>>220569039Nah, I'm pretty spot on. Maybe I just have higher standards and can't imagine the amount of self-hatred and lack of self-respect I need to have to watch a potato cam rip. You know damn well you don't need to support it financially because good, quality rips always come out.And because of this boy who cried wolf shit ITT, I'm not really sold that you're not a shill, comprende?
>>220568975What exactly is the bait?
>>220569075What's so jewish about it? All of the white male characters in the movie ultimately win. They go out of their way to make Kano uncharacteristically a protagonist, and someone that the audience roots for.Jax dies and tribesman Baraka is turned into a jokey character, almost like a racist caricature.
>>220569083Sorry shill. Your movie sucks and I shan't be supporting it.
OP here, who are the faggots who keep bringing up the equally shitty Street Fighter movie. Show of hands now. These two movies are jewish propaganda and anyone believing shills need to get your shill radars checked immediately.
>>220569120I don't give a shit if you support it, but it would've been nice to have a real discussion about it instead of you having an obvious agenda of some kind. I can't clock if you're a Paramount shill or just a salty Street Fighter fan, but either way, the dishonesty in your arguments is clear.
>>220561345There is no escaping the WOKE train. Chun Li is secretly the main character and will defeat M.Bison, Screen cap this
>>220569115Are we now doing the "it is secretly anti-woke" kind of tactics?
>>220569147>muh street fighterYour move sucks retarded shill. I say that as an actual MK fan.
>>220568967Cage got standard pep talks and just fumbled through his fights because no powers . It's criminal we didn't get a proper fight for powered up cage.
>>220569159I'm not expecting it to be anti-woke. The very concept of it is inherently not anti-woke, in that it features diversity. Was it more woke than any of the other movies coming out? Fuck no. And to most normal people, the movie will absolutely not be considered woke. It's inoffensive in that regard. It can only offend by being a video game movie, which means it will inherently never be Oscar-tier.
>>220569154She got a whole movie doing exactly that. It didn't do to well. Surely they will play it straight.
>>220569179Shills can say shit like this.
>>220569143>Show of hands now.You won't get any. Which is ironic because if you hated MK, you're sure as shit gonna hate SF.
>ugly girls>broken English Raiden>girlboss winsYeah, I'm not watching this.
>>220553377Them's some nice digits
>>220553377>>Cage has thus far had Jackie Chan-like fight antics where he dodges most everything in occasionally comical ways and uses the environment a lotThat was fun desu
>>220563004>Urban is too old, he's why it flopped tbqhHe's the most recognizable person in the cast. But sure, blame the white male.
>>220569115>white male charactersWho, Kano and Cage? It’s fine to show Kano winning since he’s a criminal with few morals, the only reason he helps the good guys is because 1) he doesn’t want to be enslaved if the bad guys win 2) he will never be large and in charge if the bad guys do win. As for Cage, one of the things they’re saying is that even the best white man can only serve as a helper to the nonwhites, who are the true heroes. All Cage does is 4v1 Saibot (with his only real contribution being a single kick) while Kitana solos Shao Kahn completely. Kitana is the hero and true warrior, Cage and Kano were just lowly helpers for the nonwhites to win the day. Doesn’t matter if Jax dies, he has an extremely heroic and selfless death by saving his partner with such compassion and honor! Baraka is not a racist caricature either, do you really believe they would do such a thing in current year? Who are these whitehats in Hollywood your glowie masters want you to believe exist?
I always thought the original Ninja Girls looked more Latina than anything.
>>220569355>while Kitana solos Shao Kahn completely.Only because Cage broke the amulet. Male characters were shown to be more competent against him beforehand, but he had the amulet which made him invincible.
>>220569357Ninjas are an asian thing, come on
>>220569424Only one ninja in the franchise is actually Japanese
>>220553377I liked it but after seeing the /tv/ reaction, my regret is that it wasn't more woke. Hopefully the next one features legit trannies.
>hag kitanano thanks
>>220569456The Chinese also have ninja equivalents with a different name, that's what the fictional Liu Kuei are based on, a real thing
>>220569424Okay? And Mortal Kombat is an American game and Becky Gable doesn't look asian at all. What's your point?
>>220569404Cage was only able to break the amulet because two nonwhites (Jade and supercharged Scorpion) along with Kano the immoral criminal were all firing their lazors at maximum capacity so Cage could come in and destroy the amulet with a single kick, that doesn’t scream heroic, it just screams “this washed up white man was finally useful for once in his life, and the only worth he has is allowing Kitana to fight Shao Kahn in a FAIR fight” - which leads to Kitana absolutely dominating Shao Kahn, in a fair fight.
>>220563742>NOOOOO HOW DARE YOU LISTEN TO CRITCISM AND ACTUALLY IMPROVE YOUR MOVIE
>>220569241I hate these nu-MK movies for the ugly girls, lack of fanservice and general old people. That SF trailer on the other hand made it crystal clear they want me as the audience
>>220569494She didn't dominate shit. She barely won because everyone else beforehand did something to help.
>>220569514Based post
>>220569514"We want the brown audience"
>>220553638>They literally pull a bait and switch on the audience.What's with this gotcha shit?
>>220569514>they want me as the audienceMaybe, but they don't want the Street Fighter audience and that's an issue when you're making a video game movie.
>>220569538And what audience was the MK movie going for?
>>220569564All of them
>>220569515All they did to help Kitana was turn off Kahn’s invincibility mode, that’s it. The others like Liu Kang didn’t do much of anything to even harm Kahn, he was perfectly fine by the time the 1v1 started between Kitana. And bear in mind Kahn is supposed to be quite strong, yet gets singlehandedly owned by a little girl.
>>220569490Small digitized sprites of real people are hard to pinpoint racially but with her face covered halfway up, she can pass as an asian due to her eyes.
>>220569514To be fair, Ken is played by what I assume is a Latino actor. While I found him charismatic in that Netflix series where he played a CIA lawyer, I just don’t understand how he’s being cast in everything, especially here since I think he looks nothing like Ken.Same with the actress playing Cammy, who isn’t a British white girl at all. Although she’s cute, resembling a younger Madonna.I thought both castings were terrible, but at least they gave them blond hair. Still...
>>220569597>all they did was ensure Kahn can be killed, so he wasYeah, he would've beaten everyone otherwise, that's the point.
>>220553377>click on thread thinking it was a new green lantern>find out its moron kombatthis franchise has never been good
>>220569461>next oneLol
>>220553377Why the hell did I think this was Lanterns...
>>220569614Ken can sort of pull off the look but it was still a shit casting for the best character in Street Fighter for non-weebs.And now that dishonest Street Fighter fags have started this flame war, I won't even bother going to see SF. The amount of wishful thinking you need to have to think it's going to be a good adaptation is insane. It's going to be better than the '94 movie but that's not saying much, considering how wrong they got shit there too. At least it had a white Cammy.
>>220569556>they don't want the Street Fighter audienceSays who? Gamertag LoremasterxX81Xx?
>>220569576Failed miserably then
>>220569672>It's going to be better than the '94 movieI don't think it will. The only decent thing about the new one is Cody Rhodes's casting.
>>220569619Moving goalposts. So you admit he got dominated by Kitana, and no one actually helped her fight Kahn, because all they did was remotely allow a fair fight between fucking Shao Kahn himself and a girl.
>>220569691She only won because she had help.
>>220569600>Small digitized sprites of real peopleDid you even play the games? You see them blown up on the VS screen, and she never looked asian bro. You're coping.
>>220569711She does though. She's got mongol eyes.
>>220553438terrible casting, this unironically should've been the time to use Glen Powell
>>220569681Box office only matters to producers
>>220553377>two movies and it has dropped the ball with every single female characterFucking kek. Not a single one has been done right or cast an attractive young actress.All hags or manjaw bitches.
>>220569740She looks Latina if anything.
>>220568483This, I've been extremely skeptical of it since the first info dropped and even more so now. Chun-Li is so out of character in the trailer, I hate what they've done to her.
>>220569773Shaved jaws are unattractive on both men and women, bug chasers need not apply
>>220569795I can guy her being Japanese or hapa. Though to be fair my eyes were always more on Sonya in the games.
>>220554389>urban as kanonow that is way more logical, god remember when fucking Tom Holland was Nathan Drake? biggest flub of a potentially awesome action series and the new Indiana Jones
>>220569703Not during the fight, not even anything to do with the actual fight itself. He was unkillable, that got turned off, and Kitana dominated him 1v1 without help because why wouldn’t the girlboss dominate an actual warrior twice her size?
Speaking of Hollywood bastardizations, i'm fucking dreading that Sydney Sweeney Gundam movie. Just kill me already.
>>220565687Frozen Botox face
>>220569821buy her*
>>220567109> bald Jade (which is weirdly semi-hot)Oh so you’re a faggot. Then this movie is for you.
>>220569826Anyone can win in the games, there's a fucking mokap guy. We get it, you hate women. The movie had other flaws but in general, audiences didn't hate Kitana and there's no real reason to.
>>220565687best part of the moviet. someone who never cared for kitana's character (aside from MKX, she had a hot outfit in that)
>>220569821>I can guy her being Japanese or hapa. I think you just don't know your races desu >Though to be fair my eyes were always more on Sonya in the games.At least you got one thing right
>>220567974This
>>220569856I don’t hate women at all, and I have a wife and daughter. That doesn’t stop me from pointing out the jewish propaganda in movies, Shlomo.
>>220569871The video games generally always had hotter actresses, especially Kerri Hoskins compared to anyone who has played Sonya. BUT Kitana's actress can act, and looks cute (not sexy, but cute is sort of the best you can hope for in 2026) so that was alright.The Mileena casting in the 1st movie was terrible but maybe they can re-cast.
Imagine unironically buying a fucking IMAX ticket just to watch 53-year-old frosted-tipped Karl Urban do a geriatric gymnastics routine while a CGI graboid Baraka plays with his crotch. The entire movie is literally a front to make you cuck for Kitana while Liu Kang unlocks 'fire mode' and dips out on his friends like a deadbeat dad. Street Fighter is going to absolutely dump on this trash anyway, even if they turned Cammy into a tanned WWE wrestler. Enjoy your Hollywood slop, shills!
>>220569890Nah, you're full of shit. Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter have always been jewish propaganda (they have women beating men), yet all of a sudden you're acting concerned.
>>220569878This is why MK9 clears.Also, I love the '95 movie but Kitana's actress in that is dreadful. She could play an accurate PSX Lara Croft though.
>>220569905>the Street Fighter shill outs himself
>>220569831Isn't the Ken actor in that as well?
>>220569905SF fans are so fucking sensitive they get intimidated by a movie that didn't even do well in the box office.
>>220569901I liked Annihilation Sonya.
>>220569943Yep
>>220569920Nope, I’m being 100% honest. And not all of a sudden, I’m always exposing jewish propaganda and have done so for 20+ years. Genuinely go back to Plebbit and/or the shill farm that spawned you.
>>220569831What if it's good
>>220569961Great taste.
>>220569941It's not shills, it's fans. The shitty part is that, as someone who also likes Street Fighter, I don't expect it to be very good at all. And yes, weebs are super catty when it comes to western franchises, ignoring the fact that the Street Fighter movie is a Hollywood production through and through. It IS a western thing now.
>>220569978Then i'll be happy, but I seriously doubt it. If they're adapting 0079, specifically the White Base's perspective, there's no way they're fitting all the good stuff into one film.
>>220569961I found her hotter than the '95 Sonya honestlyEspecially with that tank top and her titties bouncing around
>>220569977I would've bought it (not really), had you not shilled for Street Fighter so hard. You could've been honest man. It's fine to prefer one over the other. Good luck with exposing jewish propaganda, I'm sure that's totally what you're all about.
>>220569872She can pass as a Jap or hapa, and a jungle asian as Jade.>At least you got one thing rightI got two things right by the looks of it, thanks for reminding me of that pic
>>220570016Where did I shill for Street Fighter when I posted that it’s as shitty as this movie? They are both utter kike garbage that no one should watch, does that sound like shilling to you?
>>220553377It was ok, MK 95 still da king
>>220570056Whatever man. I'll make sure to tune in to the non-kike propaganda coming out in 2026. I'm sure that exists.
>>220570079There are no non-kike movies coming out, what are you smoking? You’re implying that I’m promoting a nonexistent future non-kiked movie for people to watch? Doesn’t exist.
>>220553377nothing involving asians can ever be kino
>>220553424>Baraka’s CGI face is a bit off, uncannyits not even cgi you fucking retard, its a prosthetic
>>220568272> Seems like Fast and Furious with SF characters.that's good, it won't be talentless japs making it for once
>characters actually performing moves from the games>story not being retarded cringe for once>characters actually DYING >kano making fun of quan-chi with millennial jokes I'd make>baraka becoming a fanboy>stages of the games actually appearing>that entire fight between kung lao and liu kang>credits roll and a brand new techno syndrome theme blasts inyou can hate it if you want, but it was unironically full of SOVL, I loved it
>>220569159Yes they are, with many many things, and with many layers to it.
>>220570014>I found her hotter than the '95 Sonya honestlyI'm surprised this isn't a common consensus.
>suddenly people hate kitanaI didn't know 4chan became sharty 2.0
>>220570039>She can pass as a Jap or hapa, and a jungle asian as JadeI don't see it. Looks white latina to me.
>>220570327>white latina
>>220570211Okay, still doesn’t look good.
>>220570260You arrived a bit late Mr Shill, this thread is autosaging and your words won’t be seen by many. Go back to your training camp for reeducation.
>>220570312I mean she's not "wow" or anything but she's cuter than the girls bug spammers like to shill. And surprisingly decent at acting. Like, the movie wasn't quite the slop fest I was expecting. Even Martyn Ford seemed to try.
>>220570299Never cared for 95 Sonya. Movie is still kino though.
>>220570312We don’t, we hate jews subverting society no matter what they use to do it.
>>220570422>jews invented female characters who can fight
>>220570241The japs brought about a goon factor that's missing in the new Street Fighter, and the character designs carry that game hard.
>>220570467t. japgo to 2channel faggot
>>220570440Yes, jews push the concept of woman warriors which is insanity. But that’s not even what I claimed either, Shlomo. It’s about how the jews use things. No one’s complaining about the existence of Jax as a character, but if he was made the chosen one people would be equally pissed off by that obvious subversion.
>>220570343White/Latina
>>220570496So you're not pissed off that Liu Kang, a non-white was the chosen one to begin with?
>>220570496video games in general were created by a jew (ralph baer), so if you ever enjoyed any of them, you were enjoying jewish propaganda
>no MeatWe were fucking robbed
>>220570530If it’s in the original story, go ahead. The Chinese are allowed to have their hero. Even though MK was an American franchise it was always Shaolin-coded since MK1. I don’t particularly like the modern nationalist chink for being so brainwashed, but I’m not calling to wipe out all nonwhite races. Jews subvert all races. This isn’t about being anti-woman or anti-Chinese, this is about jews using anything they can to subvert humanity.
>>220570008I think it's just a random story during the One Year War. I doubt we'll see any familiar faces
>>220570260>but it was unironically full of SOVLFor a modern product yes. Not great but a step in the right direction for sure.
>>220570553Yes that is true, but how does that refute my point in any way? We all know vidya is used by jews to control people especially children. This is coming from someone who has played vidya since the early 90s.
>>220570260>characters actually DYINGOnly the males. Made it a bit too cheesy and unserioius
>>220570530You haven't seen the ending? He s mortally injured and explains how he's not the chosen one and it was Kintana all along, then he just exits the movie with fire magic leaving his friends to fend for themselves despite gaining new cool powers
>>220570966He said he's not the chosen one but I don't recall him saying explicitly "Kitana is the chosen one". The way these movies operate, fucking Stryker could be the chosen one for whatever their Endgame villain is.In any case, it's clear he's not permanently dead.
>>220570887Sindel died and got resurrected as a cock sleeve. In the previous one there were a bunch of women dying but this one didn't really have female villains aside from Sindel so that's the more likely reason they didn't die.
>>220571042The movie HEAVILY implied that Kitana is indeed the chosen one, stopping short of Liu Kang turning to the camera and saying “Kitana is the chosen one.”
>>220571063Sonya or jade could have gotten the axe to even things out. I can't take "look anyone can die" seriously if they magically avoid any of the female characters breaking a nail
Also what’s with them planning to use Quan Chi to resurrect their fallen comrades? How are we supposed to support the heroes being okay with necromancy?
>>220571117There's a lot more villains in Mortal Kombat, so "chosen one" could mean a bunch of things, and now that I think about it, not even involve killing a villain. It's hard to tell.It's possible she was the chosen one to kill Shao Kahn though, sure.>>220571130Jade could've gotten the axe. Sonya is too important. She'll probably get the axe in the next one if they make it.
>>220571153In the game lore, and I could be wrong, but I think Shinnok's amultet is what enables resurrection. Maybe in this universe resurrection isn't inherently a bad thing, in that you're not always a brainwashed zombie. Kano was resurrected and helped the good guys ultimately.
>>220571159I mean, Liu Kang was the chosen one to defeat Shang Tsung in 95. Cole Young seemed to be in the reboot. And yes Kitana must have been for Shao Kahn, otherwise what is Liu Kang even referring to when he says chosen one, for what else other than chosen to defeat Shao Kahn? “Oh yeah I meant chosen to defeat Shinnok in the next movie”
>>220571210I don't know what they intend to be the final boss, since it wasn't Shao Kahn. There's Shinnok, Onaga, the flaming thing from Armageddon, Kronika from the new games, etc.If they intend to go with the "fire god" angle for Liu Kang, he'll undoubtedly be the most powerful character by a wide margin. But there's a lot of "ifs", and I dunno what they have planned. If the next movie comes out, they might flip everything on its head like they did with this one in comparison to MK 2021.
>>220571186Still, the connection in this world with revenants like Kung Lao means Quan Chi’s abilities of resurrecting people like Kano without zombifying them is at least adjacent to his ability to turn them into zombies, so the audience is supposed to just be okay with this, which translates to whatever the jews want people to be okay with IRL that is actually immoral and insane, probably something related to AI and their goal of convincing people to upload their consciousness to the cloud to achieve “true immortality”
>>220553377why did Kitana get knife fans while Johnny Cage didn't get a weapon?
>>220571275Whatever it is, you can bet your bottom dollar that it’s going to be a jewish subversion.
>>220571327Cause that's how it is in the games
>>220571295I'm actually not sure how the resurrection works exactly, might need to watch it again some day.I doubt AI will play a part in these movies unless they go with the cyber ninja angle where they're mindless puppets or some shit.
>>220571344but that's not fair though. If she gets a weapon so should he. Isn't this supposed to be a tournament?
>>220571377He usually doesn't need any weapons but he was rusty in this one and didn't become himself until the last half of the movie
>>220570260yeah, I don't get the hate.Love the failed Finish Him scene in Kitana vs Cage fight. >The actors are badIt's a fucking videogame script. Just the fact its not hilariously bad like Annihilation its a bonus.
>>220571393okay but he should still get a weapon.
>>220571461They had weapons starting from MK4 up until Armageddon or sth like that, but I don't remember what Johnny used, maybe nunchucks
>>220571393More like the last minutes, they really milked the allure of seeing his awakening and powers till the very end.>>220571437I would rather watch Annihilation for the 20th time than this film again any time soon. Maybe in another 10 years the jews will try pushing things so far that this movie will look like Citizen Kane in comparison.
>>220571437I get it. It's Rey Skywalker and Luuke. Except here it's done much better and wasn't actually direspectful to any of the characters contrary to what people are saying. Yeah, Kitana kills Shao Kahn but she had the right motivation to do so. And she wouldn't have been able to do shit without Johnny breaking the amulet.
Things I liked:Cage went from being a self-doubting baby to his usual cocky self at the end (telling Baraka and his clan he did everything), they should have had him win against noob/the amulet solo but otherwise it was a good arc.Kano having a logical realization that the murder death enslavement bad guys don't make societies that are friendly toward outlaws.Character moves, the black bars receding during the fights starting like in the games, the gag during the Cole/Shao Kahn fight where the hanging poles looked like healthbars.Fatalities.Liu Kang vs Kung Lao, the hat was a good gimmick to set the fight around.Things I hated:Slow slow SLOW moves during fights. They needed to tell the stunt doubles to step it up.Kitana's acting wavered from ok to total dogshit (her scene at the end telling people they don't kneel was awful)Shang Tsung didn't even need to be in this movie, totally pointless inclusion.I love Shogun, but the choice for Scorpion's actor was a bad one (more of a problem with movie 1).Liu Kang's retarded exit, especially hilarious if they don't make another movie.6/10 it was ok.
>>220571661Pretty good takes. I'm with you on the Johnny storyline, I thought it was a good way to do something original while not straying too far from the character. Not sure how I feel about Baraka. It was funny, but knowing how they could've also done him in the opposite direction as a scary monster also leaves me wondering "what if".Kano is alright, the actor is probably the funniest person on the cast and his lines are entertaining enough to where I don't mind if he's a good guy or bad guy,>the gag during the Cole/Shao Kahn fight where the hanging poles looked like healthbars.Didn't notice that. I heard the IMAX version had some special features only visible in it too, anyone know what this is?>Liu Kang vs Kung Lao, the hat was a good gimmick to set the fight around.Probably the best fight in the movie.>Kitana's acting wavered from ok to total dogshit (her scene at the end telling people they don't kneel was awful)I thought she was good throughout. Maybe my expectations were incredibly low. Jade is.. whatever. Sonya needs to jump on the Johnny train in the next movie if they make it. She feels lacking story-wise.>Shang Tsung didn't even need to be in this movie, totally pointless inclusion.It's setting up the Deadly Alliance which I don't mind.>I love Shogun, but the choice for Scorpion's actor was a bad one (more of a problem with movie 1).He's good but I fear he's too old. And sometimes it feels like this is the only Japanese actor Hollywood likes to use. The Bi-Han casting was better.>Liu Kang's retarded exit, especially hilarious if they don't make another movie.I'm fine with the exit but the chosen one line was unnecessary. It leaves a big question mark for me and if he ends up being useless in the next one I'll be very disappointed.>6/10 it was ok.Accurate.
