Mortal Kombat (2021)

[sdp]

It seems Mortal Kombat can't escape the original tournament no matter how hard they try to move away from it. After the original game and the movie the franchise continued to move on and in the early 2000's it continued to move on with the exception of Shaolin Monks which retold the events but it had been many years since the original game so it was ok.

We got the reboot and well it's ok, it's the reboot but now we have time travel in the latest games to return to that era, we just got an animated movie also re-telling the tournament. We all know the story by now.

Really? Where? I hope you don't mean this clickbait article linked earlier:

‘MORTAL KOMBAT': WHY COLE YOUNG REPLACES JOHNNY CAGE IN THE 2021 MOVIE

That article takes quotes not from the director but the producer that have nothing to do with said title, just adding PR to the movie and the one quote that might seem to fit that narrative is given absolutely no context whatsoever. So just some PR being given a spin to get more clicks. There's really no evidence but be outraged by all means. I'm not saying Cole Young doesn't suck or his reasons to include him, I agree horrible idea but it's the usual hollywood "how can we get the audience to relate"
