Pitch Meeting is always legit. Same with HESHE.
Those two make great satire contents.
Can't forget Honest Trailers too.
That said, am looking forward to the HISHE on this, among other stuff.

It might just be me, but Honest Trailers have most some of their mojos, they aren’t as funny compared to their earlier stuffs.
Found that posted one funny, but that's fair I guess. Haven't seen too many of their other ones outside of the occasional films I've watched to compare.
Just saw another fan's reaction to this film after seeing it earlier, and one thing pointed out that I actually forgot about, was the dragon tattoo being a thing in Annihilation too (for Shao Khan and his minions). It was stupid then, it was stupid now in the new film even if it was executed differently.
Also, the initial reports may have overestimated this film's financial success. It had a major drop after the opening weekend.
Sure there's covid and things to consider, but if it was a better film, you could still argue it'd be making somewhere more. That leaves a sequel for this less certain than originally thought.

I had a coworker who was asked to see it with friends and he knew nothing about MK, but he ended up hearing from his friends who were apparently excited about it that it wasn't worth the trouble. Heh. So yeah, I think word of mouth hasn't been great for the movie.
Yeah. It didn't give new people much a reason to get into the series. A bad film is a bad film, adaptation or otherwise. Demon Slayer is an even more niche IP than MK, and for that movie to easily outsell MK'21... Also glad 2021 doesn't look like it will outsell the original 1995 film from the looks of it going by the above video, even if covid had a hand in that.
Hopefully my last post on the subject, but a good video excerpt from someone I follow of what could've been for this film with Cage. Another video that was a review of tearing the film apart aside, I was expecting as much takes such as this with him after he eventually saw it. lol
It must really suck for Lewis Tan, all the shit he probably gets or sees for playing one of the most hated characters/gary stu's in MK history. Beforehand he was mostly a stunt person and really wanted to become an actor; he might be another good martial artist unlike his character but as shown with him as Cole, he doesn't really emote or act well. Couldn't be further from being film lead material.
Speaking of nonsensical, that moment you remember Mileena could've stabbed Cole in the head instead of the back of his plot armor after she teleported behind him. Had one job...
It's worse too when you consider how she later grabs Cole from behind with her teleport but flips herself over to bite him from the front, making it easier for Cole to just use the tonfa's to block her bite or just keep her away with his arms.
Cue Christopher Lambert laugh.
Oh yeah, there was this recently.
Almost as though such things should've remained in the film to have a coherent movie. Can't have that though I guess. Sick of this happening with current films, always deleting important contextual scenes.
Anyway, watch the next Mortal Kombat Legends animated movie instead of rewatching this shit.
haermm That CinemaSins video was 100% spot on.
A sequel for this dogshit was confirmed it looks like, so now you get to see the Gary Stu OC arcana plot armor his way through Shao Kahn as he did with Goro.
I really hope the next film is better though, like significantly better. MK '21 didn't even do that well financially as pointed out earlier, but WB's using the HBO Max viewership as justification for the sequel, so here we are.
And you like shit, I get it. 👆
Set yourself up for that one.
Seeing comments of people hoping Cole Young gets killed off in the first few minutes of the confirmed sequel a la Johnny Cage in Annihilation, all I can say is dreams are free, but as the established main character he's not going anywhere, no matter how much he drags down the new cinematic universe like Alice in RE.
Since MK already hit rock bottom with the first rebooted film, I see the sequel having potential to be better at least, and since they gotta followup on the Johnny Cage cliffhanger tease of going to Hollywood to find and recruit him, am somewhat optimistic there. Keyword being somewhat.
