Ah, okay. I figured that's what you had. And it's only been laggy for me when I did ranked matches with certain randoms. Normally I have a pretty good connection, so lag shouldn't be an issue..

Sometime this Wednesday sound good to you? My gamertag's the same username I have here btw, but with a space in between instead of an underscore. If you decide to add me, lemme know who you are I guess.

* implying that random live action adaptations such as that have to make sense or even matter when it comes to the actual Mortal Kombat continuity

It was still an interesting episode and take on the character nonetheless. With the realism elements added to the table, which was mentioned at the very beginning of the episode, you should've known that not everything about Raiden or how strong he actually is would be the exact same as from the games and such.
You guys are treating it like it's canon material that's supposed to tie in with everything else; it's clearly not, for the most part. If you're that unsatisfied with the characters' display of power in these adaptions so as to keep making this big a fuss about it, then just don't watch them.

I'm hoping we do see some sort of full-length feature from this, I really enjoyed it.

there is nothing realistic in taking a fighting god and making him get owned by coup[le ordenery guys

the point is even jhony cage owned a bunch of random people but raiden who is not only a god lets forget for a second that he is a god ok? he is suppose to be trained right? he wants to enter the mortal kombat to fight but then he gets his ass handed to him by 3 nurses? any ordenery fighter not even a good fighter but an ordenery one could have handled those guys easily they didnt show any skills at all they are just some random guys that simply put owned raiden so basically what this adisode does is shows us that the god of thunder that came to earth to fight in mortal kombat just got owned by 3 nurses

second thing that bothered me is that they broke his will, he had to ask some girl to kill him just because he gave up trying and admited to himself that its beyond his f^ckin powers to escape some crappy mental facility because i guess 3 nurses and some old doctor is enough to overpower a freakin thunder god

then he was just lying on the table letting them do what ever they want to him without trying to break free or nothing, and before people will say he didnt want to harm them its bullshit because he fought them the best he could he did show the will to hurt them in order to escape and he admited himself he must escape he even went nuts and started to go crazy he wanted to get out but i guess nurses is too much for him to handle

in other words i dont have problem with different presentations of characters but i do have a problem when they are made as a joke because any mortal kombat fighter should be at least able to handle untrained goons that would be owned by any ordinary fighter

^^ I love you.

and after all that they just wanted to make up for that with the hat scene? now i must admit the hat scene is a bad ass scene but they took the bad out of raidens ass when they made him such a loser

now i dont know whats wrong with the way people see raiden but its getting on my nerves , in the last game raiden wass presented as a biotch by just standing and letting shao kahn slap him around? they made raiden sissy i mean seriously his whole atitude in the last game sucks he is not suppose to be a boyscout coward that talk calmly and acts overall like some hasitating idiot , raiden is the god of thunder that came to earth to kick some mortal ass, he should be like yo shao kahn get your ass over here and lets fight , and i dont care if he wins or lose but i want to see his real attitude that he had in mortal kombat 1 till 3 he was a bad ass but in the recent games he is some hasitating idiot that is overtaken by all kind of morals and liberal crap and when he does deside to finally fight he gets owned by the deadly alliance, then in the new one he doesnt fight at all thats bullshit

and now in the legacy series (8 minute series) he gets owned by 3 nurses????? you know what if they were 10 people jumping on him at once and taking him in prison and then he escapes then yeah it would be realistic but 3 people with no skills untrained just capture him and he has to die and reborn in order to escape thats pathetic that presents him as a loser how is he suppose to fight minions like baraka or f^ckin shao kahn when 3 nurses is his power and skill limit???????

Raiden's normally not supposed to enter a "Mortal" Kombat tournament anyway in the first place since he's a god. I guess in that episode or adaptation, it showed Raiden wanting to compete in MK by taking the form of a human/mortal, thus retaining little of his thunder god powers, which was why he was so susceptible to ordinary human attacks and such. When he was first made human so he could enter the MK tournament (in this adaptation), I guess he became injured when the Elder Gods sent him down to earth for some reason. Regardless, it made him more relateable to the real world, but at the same time, was something unreal. Hence the mixture of fantasy and realism used for his episode. Kinda like in the MK Rebirth trailer where Baraka was a doctor/surgeon, and Reptile was someone born with a real life disease.

At least that's my take on it all. I agree though that Raiden needing that girl's help to escape at the end still made no sense. With the condition Raiden was in though, and as the form of a human, he still put up a hell of a lot resistance. More than any normal human ever could at least. At full strength, I doubt a few nurses would be that Raiden's "limit", though that's beside the point.

Regarding the latest game, Raiden's usual attitude was rather cautious, but I'm not sure calm was the right word.. With how he was enlightened by his future self in order to prevent Armageddon though, it made sense how Raiden was the way he was, personality-wise. After confronting Quan Chi in the Netherrealm, he realized that letting Shao Kahn appear to win would be the only way to ultimately prevent Armageddon, as the Elder Gods would finally be forced to interfere and punish Kahn themselves for breaking their rules, which did not happen in the original timeline since Kahn kept getting defeated by Liu Kang. In the new timeline, Raiden had to electrocute Liu to a crisp so as to prevent him from challenging Kahn again, and having Armageddon eventually happen a few games later. He also killed Motaro in the new timeline, among plenty others he defeated. He was no coward; I don't know where you're getting that from..

As for your last paragraph, well we still haven't really seen what Shao Kahn in the Legacy series is even capable of. From what I saw of him in the Kitana & Mileena episode though, he looked basically like a normal human, so he could possibly be a weaker version of his game incarnate as much as this series' Raiden is. Ya never know until we see him fight...
