The first one was perfect.
Annihilation was a crime against humanity 🙁

Did not know there was an animated movie. Is it related to the films?
Scorpion's Revenge came out last year. Haven't seen it yet.
But no, afaik, it's closer to games/comics (y'know, actual canon) than to old films.

You might be on to something.
And those screenshots are already getting lots of hate, sadly.
I will wait for the final product, of course. Can't possibly be worse than MK:A.

lack of fatalities.
You can have more different kinds of fatalities with an R rating, but the fight choreography is definitely more important for a film at the end of the day, which the first movie excelled in. A spine rip or something doesn't mean shit if the fight scene is bad.
Also curious how the rest of the costumes and set pieces in this will compare to the first film. The pieces that were made for like netherrealm/hell (where Scorpion fought Cage) and Outworld were wonderfully made at the time.

Forgot about it till I was reminded again, but am still put off by this Cole OC character in this film. He feels so unnecessary when MK has an insane amount of characters they could use and portray instead. The plot synopsis with him reeks of fanfiction as well but it comes with the territory when they go down this path as opposed to sticking with what exists in the source material.
Since he's the main character here too, wouldn't be surprised if he were a gary stu OC like Resident Evil's Alice.
I don't know, but just off of this, can already say that the first film feels more faithful despite the creative differences it had in who fought who.

...not liking that either, for all the reasons you said.
