It's a cool idea. I love tonal shifts when they are pulled off well.

For me, ideally, they'd just pull back on those elements. We wouldn't see Outworld, powers would be used rarely, etc. Basically the same general tone as the first MK movie, but go a little harder/dirtier.

Remember that scene where Sub-Zero shatters a dude in the dining hall? That was disturbing and totally effective, at least at the time. And that was just pg-13, but everything felt more dire than in the new film.
