thumb up Was anticipating this much more than a potential MK 2021 sequel.

YESSSSS!!!!!!!

Scorpion's Revenge was an actually critically good MK movie, excellent story, action, faithful to the source material, just a near-perfect movie.

All it needed to be a masterpiece in my eyes is to not focus on just one character for majority of the story, instead focusing on everyone.

Robtard
Good, cartoon was certainly good enough for a sequel.

Just going by the cover, looks like it will be more Liu Kang centered again, so Squall can stop crying. Is what I expected though honestly. Scorpion and his revenge arc was only going to get one film, not an entire series.

Jmanghan
I prefer Liu Kang to Scorpion so imo that's good news.

Still think they should focus on everyone instead of one character extensively.

The hype is real.

They should have made this 'Not Rated', so we could see Scorpion pull out someone's spine through their anus while yelling "Shitality!"

See, THAT would have ruled. Again, no one learned anything from Deadpool.

In all seriousness, I did sort of expect to see a spinal cord pulled out.

I'm somewhere in the middle ground. I like Scorpion but don't love or hate him. Used to love him, but the repetitive recycling of his character along with seeing him everywhere as the posterboy just made me kinda tired of him. I don't see why one would hate Scorpion though even with that said. He's a legitimately cool character design. Too popular for his own good though, and anyone whose that kind of popular and pushed out to the level he is will always get some detractors.

Khazra Reborn
Scorpion is the shit. But he had his turn in the spot light last one, his role looks to have been rightly reduced, quite a bit this time around.

Ridley_Prime
Yep, and now with his vengeance satiated, the younger Sub-Zero appears to be the vengeful one now based on the trailer. Hopefully they make amends though like they eventually do in the main canon.

I suppose the spider represents D'Vorah.

Yup.

Scorpion was my original favorite back in the days...

I think they are just trying way too hard to make him a fan favorite...

I dont hate him he just quickly became boring to me....

Kazenji
I like the character of Scorpion, He's usually my go to character in the games. But i have been trying out the different fighters rather then just keep picking him.

Agreed. I stopped giving a **** about he and his wife many variations ago.

Nice Mythologies reference. Like the setup they got there, regardless of what Scorpion ends up doing.

Scorpion wins! Fatality!

Ridley_Prime
Just saw this earlier. It was great, possibly better than Scorpion's Revenge even. Like with that film, a fresh direction was taken with the writing. They handled Scorpion and younger Sub-Zero's relationship better from the get-go also, and Raiden competing in the tournament by sacrificing his godhood was a breath of fresh air. Beyond the MK2 tournament, the stuff with Shinnok was crazy too which is about all I can say without spoiling.

And while Johnny Cage didn't get to do that much, his presence was still appreciated all the more. He's the heart and soul of MK with the comic relief moments, and MK 2021 was really missing something without him, even though they tried to have Kano fill in that niche.

Probably wouldn't expect a sequel to this though unless Onaga gets resurrected or something later on. Battle of the Realms had a certain finality to it without feeling like it was leading into something else.

BruceSkywalker
will watch soon

Estacado
I thought it was great.

The last fight was kinda cringe for me...

Ridley_Prime
Are you kidding? The glorified kaiju battle was creative and awesome; by MK standards at least, and after being severely disappointed with the last game villain (Kronika), it was fun.

It sucks how the games and recent live action movie doesn't have this much personality to it that makes it stand out and fun like these animated films are. I wish the hacks at Netherrealm who do the game stories could be replaced by these writers or something.

Estacado
What I liked how Shao Kahn was the villain he was supposed to be badass, strong and ruthless.

Also at least Scorpion wasnt As OP As he is almost always.

The DBZ "reference" was kinda funny and cool at the same Time.

Liu going super saiyan flying around and whoopin Khan

Ridley_Prime
Well this time it was Liu Kang being OP, but I guess is to be expected when he is the usual intended protagonist. In this context though it is contrived when he could not even beat Goro in the previous film, and now am supposed to buy him beating everyone else in the following film? Why did he not go DBZ on Goro like he did Shao Kahn? Just got stronger without explanation. That or Goro > Shao Kahn and a bunch of others I guess.

The aforementioned kaiju fight redeemed the Annihilation big monster fight at least. And yeah, Scorpion was handled fine here, especially his relationship with the younger Sub-Zero as mentioned. The all out brawl between them and the cyber Lin Kuei was awesome.

Estacado
Yeah it was kinda dumb specially cause Khan handled Liu like a fly in the begining of the movie.

The fight with Sektor, Cyrax and Smoke was cool but it was handled in a kinda lame way I mean Sub Zero froze them at least 3-4 times but instead of dealing with them he went on to fight Scorpion than the cyborgs escaped again and again.

Also when Scorpion stabbed kaiju Shinnok in the forhead for a second I thought he was gonna defeat him. Thank god he didn't.

TheVaultDweller
Along with some of the things already mentioned, one thing I found kind of dumb was Liu Kang seemingly initially struggled against Shang Tsung, but then stomps him one-handed after his arm gets messed up. If he was that much better than him the whole time, why not just immediately stomp him? Why slack off and get his arm cursed first?

I did enjoy the film overall though, even with the few nonsensical inconsistencies it had.

Estacado
Shang Tsung's fatality was pretty damn cool also really liked Shao Khan's MK9 fatality.

Smoke was also pretty badass.

I thought this was better than Scorpion's revenge.

Hope we get more of these movies with Ermac, Rain, Tremor.

Ridley_Prime
Was weird that we did not see Shang get his youth back which he always did by MK2.

But yeah.

Khazra Reborn

At least there's always the 1993 movie, Cage was the real hero there.

Ridley_Prime
Yeah, I'll admit him losing to D'Vorah was forced. That would not of happened in MKX at least, so that's one thing I can give the game writers over this. Did like most of the other moments with him though. I was just more happy to see him in general after the MK 2021 absence.

TheVaultDweller
I'm just glad Stryker was treated with the level of respect he deserved. shifty

Ridley_Prime
lol. Deaths like with him, Kung Lao, and Kintaro are just tropes at this point, especially Kung Lao who they love to kill in all media for some reason.

Walt Longmire
ive been enjoying these new wb mk movies a lot, why cant wb do better with dc movies?
