For what it's worth on the Cole Young thing... {Spoiler}{Spoiler}Based on some comments that've been made about it it's pretty clear that isn't really his name. The general theory is that he's Kuai Liang. {Spoiler} Oh ok, couldn't see the point of making a new character when there are hundreds to choose from! Thought Hollywood was doing its "we know better" thing {Spoiler}

The trailer is here! I'm hesitant to get excited because trailers are short and designed to get you hyped...but this looks...good? MK Red Band Trailer on Twitter!

It.... Looks good. And faithful. And gory. Wow. We might for once get a good game adaptation?

They did everything they needed to do - iconic moments for key characters, enough of Cole to understand his role in the story, that music. It's one of the better trailers I've seen lately. Maybe I'm just experiencing being excited for a movie again after a year or so of sitting inside but I am so ready for this one.

I was waiting to hear it get blasted and was surprised at the show of restraint. Very casual MK fan but the fighting/effects definitely look intriguing.

The fighting is unmistakably accurate to how brutal the games can be.
(Now I'm curious if they'll do the X-Ray zoom ins of dudes having their bones broken like in the games)

Yep exactly and even more than that they somehow kept it old school but added a lil bit of freshness to it. I'm glad it's better than we all predicted.

Looks pretty good... love that Kano continues to be Australian despite that being a throw away thing from the first movie Since he was supposed to be a Japanese originally. {Spoiler}since we see Sub Zero killing Scorpion in the trailer that rumor about newbie being Sub Zero 2 might have some credence.

Psyched for Josh Lawson in a featured role, because I’ve only known him as a improv comedy guy and it’s such a jarring change going from something like this back in the day:
...To being f***ing Kano.

Yeah, all I really want is an R-rated adaptation with some awesome fights and a kickass score. And it looks like we're getting that, so color me hyped as f***.

Yeah, I generally find the story the like weakest part of Netherrealm's games... that and them beginning to over rely on super long cutscene moves

It honestly looks like it's going to be a blast. The characters mostly look really faithful, it captures the tone and goriness, and if it can just be a fun movie like the original film, it doesn't need to be an epic in terms of plot. I do find it hilarious how Jax keeps on losing his arms in different ways to different people in every continuity.

Just by comparison of trailers...the new one obviously looks better but there is an energy to the original that the new one does not have or hasn't shown yet likely in large part to the music.

Eh, I thought 9 and X had pretty solid stories with maybe like, a couple weird things. 11 is where it went off the rails. But I mean, it could be worse; could be the Injustice series. Also, that trailer is f***ing amazing.
