He didn't get respect in the original timeline, killed off by Motaro in MK3. Things turned around for Johnny Cage in the 2nd timeline, after getting saved by Raiden killing Motaro, surviving MK9 and then beating Shinnok in MKX. Now he's getting respect.
This looks like a ton of a fun. Love the art style and that it's not taking itself so seriously as one might expect MK to do. I want the next game to be more like this. Also the legend himself, Gilbert Gottfried blessing us with one last performance? I'm sold.
i would love if MK1 had an update that added 80s mod where all the fatalities and the skyboxs are changed to look like this movie, all the glowly bone breaking would be so awesome
That art style is in the vein of Patrick Nagel, a hugely popular artist of the 80s. Duran Duran's Rio cover is his artwork. Wish he was alive to see this. (This looks like a lot of fun btw)
I wonder if it's the same people or artist(s) behind Moonbeam City (created by Titmouse Inc) because that show is HEAVILY inspired by the same art style!
I think the whole plot of MK fits perfectly into this style =) Foolishness of 80s action films, cheerful pathos and beautiful non-seriousness - perhaps I would like to see MK like this.
@@TheeSteveBundy This film is not the first time Gilbert Gottfried worked with Warner Bros Animation. He was casted as Mr. Mxyzptlk from Superman the animated series, and even played the character in spinoffs. Yes, that is how you pronounce his name.
Don't even care if it's AU, it's Johnny Cage being a glorious pastiche of 80's kung fu heroes with Ashrah as his co-star, of all characters, I'm into this. And Gilbert Gottfried in what may be his final role? Y'all better not mess this up!
@nobelpl2927 Thanks for that. Tried to search the song, thought it was 'superhero' instead of survivor, now I hear the right word. Guess that's how you know it's a 80s song.
After Snow Blind, i'm glad to see that the Legends series is taking more risks and just having fun with everything. This looks like a great time, and i'm glad that the series is persisting.
I wonder if they will ever do a Kung Lao or Raden Solo movie next tbh I hope they do Raden next that would be pretty cool to explore His rise to Godhood and deep dive as to how he even was chosen to become Protector of Earth Realm
Awesome.. I'd love a Johnny Cage movie... Johnny Cage is my favorite Mortal Kombat character from my childhood since the original game and still is today
And this retro spin off easily speaks to an age old canon story about Johnny Cage… His use of the Mortal Kombat tournament is material for movie scripts
@@sabrina63 well the legends series of Mk films don't exactly follow the games beat for beat but this is going off in a different direction, you gotta love having some variety in your adaptations.
Not going to lie, it feels so weird seeing Ashrah out of the Netherrealm and acting like a normal woman 😅 Glad to see my demon girl going on new adventures!
@@wargegeson8063 I didn't even comment on that because I hope that's not the case. I hope that scene is just Johnny being Johnny and "falling" for every pretty girl he sees 😅
@@Ashrah_Vell yeah same, like I think it’s weird if Johnny has a different love interest since his whole flirting, marrying, and having a child with Sonya
@@wargegeson8063 - Well I hope the new Mortal Kombat timeline is opening your eyes towards new possibilities in alternative universes. Not everything as the be the same, cut in stone, story telling. Spice it up ⬆️ 🎉😂
@@wargegeson8063 I don't mind Johnny having another love interest, but Ashrah doesn't seem to fit at all. Especially since she's apparently still trying to free herself from the Netherrealm.
Hopefully we are entering into a time where we can get more MK solo movies. Then maybe lead them into big team up movies like what they did with marvel. This could be huge if done right.
are you mad !!! it was the worst movie i watched in my life it is also 🔞 this movie disppointed me this is not mortal kombat did you watch snow blind ??
I feel like he gets too much love personally. Always felt he was a pretty boring character with a weak backstory compared to everyone else yet he’s in almost every game and was a huge part of MKX’s story.
Is today the best Mortal Kombat day or what, not only we get new characters for MK1 but a full on animated Mortal Kombat movie featuring the OG Johnny Cage. The only thing that would make this better was a teaser for the live action MK film coming soon,oh that woulda been sweet.😎
Finally! Been wondering when they’d show us this. And a different animation style just like the previous movie and Joel McHale returning as Johnny Cage himself!
I think it's better this way. WB gets more MK, the studio gets creative freedom, and people won't be upset over inconsistencies in the lore. Everyone wins.
Oh definitely. I mean, with the one exception of Annihilation, MK has always been one of the better vg film franchises. But the animated ones are fantastic. Who are you guys hoping they'll make one of next? Sonya? Kitana?Baraka? Night Wolf?
@@jordancrooks6752 it may be that Johnny, after training, beat up hooligans in front of the school and became popular, I don’t know with his father, maybe he died or something else
Snowblind was Mortal Kombat meets Mad Max/Dune. This is Mortal Kombat meets Big Trouble in Little China. Hopefully we can get a Legends movie about Kitana and Mileena. Edenia's background, the sibling's relationship and Shao Kahn's rise to power are all very intriguing story points that can be explored. Mortal Kombat meets GOT basically.
Finally a movie that depicts how Cage is more of a fight enthusiast than just an actor
I never understood why they focused more on that and not fighting. It made him look weak at times...Just my opinion
@@rbmiddleton1979to be fair, Johnny Cage was always been the weak one of the group before MKX.
@@blacksmoke6292not really
@@rbmiddleton1979because he’s supposed to be a comedy character. Either it’s him as the joke or he tells them.
@@blacksmoke6292 That because his bark is bigger than his bite.
Thank goodness that Johnny Cage has gained the respect he deserve and is now the star of a MK Legends series named after him.
He didn't get respect in the original timeline, killed off by Motaro in MK3. Things turned around for Johnny Cage in the 2nd timeline, after getting saved by Raiden killing Motaro, surviving MK9 and then beating Shinnok in MKX. Now he's getting respect.
Y lo ganará más cuando en la segunda película de mortal kombat será protagonizado por Karl Urban
I was the thousandth like my day is complete
He’s wack.
Never thought I wanted Gilbert Godfrey in a mortal Kombat movie (rest in peace) this looks fun!
I was surprised when I heard his voice
How is this possible, he died years ago
HOW?!

Also the legend himself, Gilbert Gottfried blessing us with one last performance? I'm sold.
Just like late Lance reddrick doing one last performance after he passed away.
Mortal Kombat has always thrived with 1980’s camp and melodrama; that’s why MK9 was always the best story to me.
I agree and it's art style direction is distinct and iconic. MK11 and the new M1K seem too generic like some android/ios rpg @@xenoherder6491
i would love if MK1 had an update that added 80s mod where all the fatalities and the skyboxs are changed to look like this movie, all the glowly bone breaking would be so awesome
i really hope they just keep making this movies, this is what mortal kombat mythologies could've been if it didn't fail so hard
This has to be one of Gilbert Gottfrieds last roles? RIP to a legend! 💔
Where’s Scorpion?
Gilbert Gottfried dies, but his voice over career lives forever!
@gleove1 he's not in it as far as the trailer is concerned... Scorpion doesn't have to be in every movie
@@gleove1this a spinoff bro don't think he's in it

as a comic artist i can say this artstyle is so pleasing to see. It's vibrant and clean and such a great choice for an 80s parody aesthetic.
Just looks like that new Warner Bros animation style... Velma. Harley Quinn.

@@markl1930 Nah, Velma looks way more cartoony.

And better than the live action films to lol
Facts. It shows a lot with the kenshi movie.
I love the 80's vibe on this. It suits Johnny Cage 😂😅. Looks like a great MK movie.
Hearing Gilbert Gottfried’s voice again is a blessing he was one of the many voices of my childhood can’t wait to see this movie
I always loved Johnny Cage for a very long time and I always wanted him as a main protagonist for a game or movie and this is perfect!!
Bruh it doesn't look like the character in the slightest.
@@theM4R4T I’m not saying that. I’m saying that this movie looks perfect for him.

They took every comedic aspect of Johny Cage, gore of Mortal Kombat, the goofiness of 80s movies and rolled with it. I'm already a fan
Hi!))))
“Neither do I” ayoooo Johnny a menace out here 😂
Gotta admit: this is probably my fave hair/look/voice of Johnny Cage in all of Mortal Kombat as a whole.
Johnny looks awesome in this. Got that 80's star aesthetic down to a T. Wish it was a skin in the game along with the shirtless cult drawing ones
@@g2.a6Me too. Could you imagine a game in this style? It'd look fantastic!
Never thought I’d hear Gilbert’s voice in a new project again since his passing. But very glad to hear him again, RIP to a legend

The voiceover, the music, the style of all the characters, its SOOOOO 80's themed and I love it.

80's still rocks!

Now this is a cool origin story for one of MK's most important characters. And RIP Gilbert!
The fact that you can tell that this was in the making for a long while due to animation and to a legend! Rest in peace Gilbert Gottfried.
This looks like a fun throwback to old 80s martial arts films, and I love it! Can't wait for this to come out!
He's got the Von Stroheim haircut! Love it

Johnny Cage is my favorite Mortal Kombat character from my childhood since the original game and still is today
I will never get tired of these Mortal Kombat movies.
Hi!))))))))
Honestly, this just looks like pure fun. I am looking forward to it!
I would Love a movie like that about World War Hulk and Kingdom Come.
Ashrah's in this, so I'll see it. She's one of my favorites, and one of the games most under rated characters.
Legend has it that “Karate Kid” was inspired by Johnny’s real life.
I love how this feels like a movie Cage would star in.
Now this is what a retro spin off film should be like, I love seeing the new takes on old characters.

My man Johnny living In the MK universe like he's in a comedy movie
Johnny Cage is my fav Mortal Kombat Character and seeing him get a solo movie just feels right!
The casting is perfection.
Scorpion- How did you defeat Shinnok?
Johnny Cage- Yeah its all in the reflexes
Scorpion Show me, Cage

The whole 80s aesthetic fits so well for Johnny Cage.
Now this is how you give Johnny Cage his solo movie.

Sounds great!
