Well, until 11 retconned it so that he was aware of Quan Chi killing them all and fine with it, anyway. Though that's nowhere near the worst MK11, "They were a heel the whole time!" retcon what with Sindel hovering around. Sindel's "I was bad the whole time" gimmick might honestly be when I gave up hope on MK11 being decent, story-wise. They already had an interesting backstory with her being an unwilling servant upon resurrection and then breaking free to end up on the side of good. Now she's just generic bad woman #4432 and it's boring as shit. Never got the fuss about this. In a game that's all about different timelines and continuities thus meaning the original wasn't erased, this timeline already has Kitana filling the role of the good queen, so the heel turn gave Sindel something fresh to do on her own as well as give her a bit more agency rather than constantly being brainwashed or kidnapped/imprisoned in every game. And tbh, how many memorable moments did she have before, outside of the campy "Too bad YOU will die" from Annihilation?

I feel there's such much lore they can explore, without needing ANOTHER reset: - Khaos Realm is virtually untouched cannonically - SHOW THE FIGHT BETWEEN JERROD ANS SHAO!!! Head canon ideas: - Fujin and Smoke make the "air" version of the Lin Kuei - 4 way war between Kitana,Mileena,Liu and Sindels armies for Outworld - Kano and the Black Dragon going "cyber" (more 17 and 18 for Kano, cyber ninajs for the jobbers) - Jax and Johnny bonding over grief in an oddball buddy cop style - Raiden taking the fight to the ACTUAL Elder Gods in an attempt to overthrow them and break this "new" timeline

Kabal has always been one of my favorites so happy to see him in the movie.
Though, I hate what MK11 did to his character. To be honest, I think there's more I dislike about 11's changes to various characters than I like. Eh. Maybe 12 will cancel it all.

Everything about Kabal in MK11 both writing and gameplay-wise screams, "Look, we just really like working with the Flash, okay?"

Movie's been delayed a week to April 23rd. Seeing a lot of Snyder cultists complaining about it because that takes it out of the month they signed up for, necessitating a renewal if they want to see it legally. Because f*** HBO Max for wanting to squeeze a few more shekels out of their movie releases, I guess?

That is waaaay too busy. It sounds like a Youtube remix from 2008.

Has anyone ever "remixed the Mortal Kombat theme" and just released Twilight Zone by 2 Unlimited?
Anyway, yes, this is the worst, jesus.
EDIT: Oh, like, am I right in totally asusming this movie is going to be so heavy on special effects it totally wrecks all the fun of the martial arts fight scenes, which should actually be the point but won't be?

I like the first minute of the remix but right after "MORTAL KOMBAT!" it goes into Skrillex dubstep hell.

I’ve got expectations for this movie
The first Mortal Kombat movie is the gold standard for video game movie adaptations
The second one is an unholy mess
The ads for this make it look very promising

So far at 60% on RT, which if that holds will be kind of miraculous given even if good this isn't the kind of movie that reviews well.

Considering they used that as the opening, I'm guessing this film is gonna be Sub Zero Versus Scorpion the movie. Which I am ok with if it means less focus on cole. And I'm assuming they got rid of his "wise beyond her years" daughter. If this is the case, I'll definitely watch.
