Imma need the sequel rn love the cast but I’m especially surprised that I like Keno in this, he’s a riot
The finishers are so bloody they censored it in cinema but I can tell it’s good. Can’t wait for digital release. |

The only thing that irks me so far is no Johnny Cage, as his absence is mind boggling being an original character and still important to the games to this day, but everything else looks good.

Yeah, no Cage is F'n stupid. Still looks pretty good, though. I'll check it out; I'm paying for HBO Max anyway, might as well.
It mathematically can't be any worse than "Annihilation" so I feel pretty comfortable with it. We'll see.

Like **** you. They can't even make a good Mortal Kombat movie without their anti-white wokeness being forced in there somewhere.

Oh, LORD, it really is Everywhere.
Individually, I love lots of people, even people who I disagree with on various matters. On an individual, person-to-person level, I can get along with people despite pretty strong differences of politics and philosophy. I do it every day. You're far more liberal than I am, Coola, but I still like you. You're not a f*cking nutcase, and that counts for a lot. Collectively, though? I. F*cking. HATE. Liberals. Like, it's getting harder and harder to keep a lid on that sh*t. But when they have to smear their "woke" garbage all over the f*cking cultural landscape it's like, f*cking STOP IT already. Oddly enough, some of my best friends are "liberals". But go figure, even Those People tend to agree with me that Sh*t Like This is pointless garbage. "Wouldn't make sense to have a White Person in that role." F*ck off, racists.

I guess I just go by my old fashioned beliefs of trying not to be a dick, to treat people fairly, respect others, not be racist/homophobic/sexist and not play this weird game where everyone either wants to earn victim points or purposely look for things to be offended over or to create the next big hashtag movement or 'let's try to retroactively change this or that cause something 20 years ago doesn't meet modern day standards'. Like I don't even have a political side anymore because the Democrats now are NOT the Democrats I grew up with as a kid. I just try to live by common sense and decency, labels be damned. I don't fit neatly into any box nor do I want to.

All well and fair.
Movie might very well still be very good, and I won't be shocked if it is indeed pretty good. But IF that's the legit reason for no Johnny Cage, then that's Retarded with the capital R. Just like Supergirl being Hispanic in the Flash movie because "blonde-haired blue-eyed white girls are Problematic in 2021." Same sh*t. Are we so far gone, culturally, that blonde hair and blue eyes immediately makes people jump to "Nazi" in their minds? We can't even have characters look like what they're established to look like, or have characters who exist within the fiction be a part of movies based on said fiction, because "Too Many Honkies" or some ridiculous sh*t like that. It's stupid. Movie's probably good anyway. It's just like... Jesus, can we have ONE thing free of this kind of ass-backward "Wokester Logic"? And people wonder why I don't get excited for movies and TV shows anymore, why I expect them all to be terrible and am pleasantly surprised if they're not. Just LOOK at the kinda sh*t we're dealing with behind the scenes. Anyway. Looking forward to seeing it on HBO Max, eventually. I'm sure we'll still get Cage in a sequel, but to leave him out of this one, the Big Important Relaunch Movie, and have some made-up scrub in there instead is just... well, these are Bad Choices, made for Bad Reasons. And that's frustrating.

Like yeah, it sucks they replaced Cage with this OC, but at least Cage was never the big hero of MK, it was always Liu Kang. At least in the older games. Hopefully they'll pull a bait and switch and this punk dies near the end so Liu Kang takes over. I mean they're already playing up Kano as one of the gang with the never-see-it-coming shocking twist that he's bound to betray the team.

For people wondering why Johnny Cage isn’t in the movie, Cole Young replaces him.

The director confirmed they're saving him for a sequel and realize he's a very important character. I hope the new guys whole purpose is to see him get a fatality by the end of the movie. Now that would be something fresh with the whole "oh you thought he was the hero? He's dead".

This is starting to piss me off. Sure the Sub-Zero/Scorpion stuff looks great but gawd dammit, STICK TO THE ****IN GAME. Hell, the story should be from Liu Kang's POV, have HIM learn about the legends and stuff. I understand a fresh new take but pick the right main character. Imagine a Mario movie about Fransisco and Mario and Luigi are just kinda there. This would be like Leo and me making a SF movie but from the perspective of some lame OC named Steven. We'll just get away with it by making sure the Akuma actor looks cool and throwing in some sweet Ryu/Ken and Chun Li/Juri fight scenes and the fans will be too busy jizzing their pants to notice. That's basically this movie. Everyone is busting nuts over Fatalities and the Sub Zero/Scorpion stuff to care that the overall story is getting ****ed.

From what I heard from people who watched this movie, story is a weakest point of it.

Meh, while Cage will be missed they can play with the story a bit and it can still be good. I won't judge the movie solely on that until I actually watch it. I'd be more pissed if all females have SJW clothing like MK11 but that's not a deciding factor if the movie is good or not either.
Now they just released the theme song and it's a remix of the 90s techno song and it sucks, should've gone for something more original and if they wanted techno then make something entirely new, this remix just feels soulless. |

Sonya is white
Raiden is an Elder God but his design resembles an Asian mans. Liu Kang is Asian. Sub-zero and Scorpion are Asian. Kano is Australian (does that count as white these days? I dunno). Johnny Cage was also the only other major white character of the original cast. |
