Fun fact, Cage vs Scorpion in hell and Liu Kang vs Reptile happened in the first film because of reshoots. Before the film was out, they screened it to a test audience, who said there weren't enough fights, and so we got two of the best fights in the movie added as a result.
Scorpion vs Cage was originally just gonna have Cage knock out Scorpion with that shadow kick in the forest after Scorpion lost his "spear", which would've been anticlimactic.
Scorpion's Revenge was alright as its own thing for another alternate take on MK1, and the other characters surprisingly still had their moments too, but could've been more. Something tells me I'll still prefer it to this reboot though. I'll try to enjoy MK 2021 for what it is, but is "At least it's not Annihilation" really much of a leg to stand on at this point?

There is still hope.
I mean, we should at least wait for the first trailer before we assume the worst.

The good: Looks better than the previously films which were all dirty ass
The bad: Still looks like dirty ass
The other good: I get to watch it for free on HBOMax
Also of note, Jessica McNamee is sexy/hot.
Eh, I'm just going to go out on a limb and say the original 1995 film will be remembered more in the long run, despite the gore that has fanboys frothing at the mouth. Mostly looking forward to the action sequences and hoping it doesn't follow the Hollywood style of jump cutting every second like some Liam Neeson movie.
Will this film's soundtrack even be anything noteworthy? See it having a remix of the MK theme played during like one part if it's lucky.
