And personally I’m not hating on the pics, though I really do think Ajax looks like Steve Harvey in his. The costumes look surprisingly accurate. It’s not something I was expecting.
I was reading for the 1995 movie they originally wanted it to be R-rated, But then New Line Cinema stepped in and wanted to lower the rating so kids could see it.
Sub-Zero shattered a guard to pieces when he showed off his ice powers, Scorpion took off his mask and attempted the toasty fatality on Cage which was done well, Shang Tsung did his soul stealing left and right (starting the whole "your soul is mine" phrase)... The final fight even ended with the spike pit stage fatality from the first game.
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.
Gender: Male Location: In Luna's mane, chasing STAAARS!
What a lazy plot. And Didn't Taven and his brother Daegon in the Armageddon game have a dragon mark? Why Cole & Jax be having it? I was already theorizing Cole was Taven with amnesia or something that would've saved the movie but reading Jax has it too throws that out the window.
