Action-Adventure Mortal Kombat 2

Hopefully Cole dies. I thought it was a waste of Lewis Tan in a role made just for the movie. Why not use him as Johnny Cage in the first movie?

Because that would have made too much sense.

Seriously, I’ll never understand why the studio mandated that they center the movie on an a new audience surrogate character WHEN JOHNNY ALREADY IS THAT CHARACTER. God what a horrible script. I’m sorry if this is rude, but I can’t believe some of you guys are seriously excited for this sequel after that last movie. It’s very, very difficult to build a good franchise on a bad foundation (see: the DCEU).

And with Johnny Cage coming in, Cole is now a redundancy.

I wouldn’t mind seeing him as a revenant though. Or even as a reworked Takeda.

I’m okay with seeing Cole as a revenant. And by that, I mean that I wouldn’t mind seeing him mauled by grizzly bear and left for dead in the middle of the woods.

The movie may have had a ton of structural problems making it a bad movie. But I easily understand why fans of the IP enjoyed it. Usually, you get new characters each game, so Cole was never a big issue, imo.
 
Yeah it’s not that deep to me. When a movie is bad I just move on. I’m interested to see the sequel on its own merits. Plus I think Tan has a lot of potential, so I’m hoping he gets more to do.
 
It's not the actors fault no one blames him for taking the gig it's the producers who thought a new character should be in the film when they could have chosen so many other in game characters that the fans would have accepted
 
I mean I don’t even care that they introduced a new character in the film as the lead. I just wish they’d do something interesting with him that actually adds to the lore. Make him someone you’d want to play as in the games. Because no one wants to play as a character that has to get his ass beat to channel a power up.
 
No offense to Lewis Tan or his fans, I simply would've written him out. Just say he wanted to stay and be with his family.
You phrased that wrong. Say he went home to be a family man thanks to advice from a friend.

Yeah. A lot of people seem to be more interested in how the costumes look and the ''Finishers''.
 
Whom would you rather see as director,

Simon McQuoid or Paul W.S. Anderson?
 
One thing I am curious about is if they're going to soft reboot Mileena in this movie as a Kitana clone...I could see that being a mid credit stinger
 

Living Forest?


Show the costume!


Shadow Priest I’m guessing.


I’m guessing Quan Chi’s hand. Wish it was his face being shown, but…
