  • Which Mortal Kombat Characters Will Stay Faithful From The Games?
    Subscribe: bit.ly/Subscribe-to-Screenrant
    With Mortal Kombat’s upcoming release on HBO Max, we are finally going to take a minute from grinding the Towers Of Time to watch other Kombatants duke it out for a change- because of course we don’t use AI to farm tower rewards. Mortal Kombat has been running for decades at this point, and whether you fell in love with the series at the arcade, on mobile, in the comfort of your own home or even through the big screen in either of it’s live action film adaptations, you’ve probably discovered your main character long ago and continuously root for their inclusion, even after Ed Boone and NetherRealm studios troll you and don’t put them into the base roster (We feel you Mileena fans).
    With the rebooted film looking practically perfect, there is the now tale as old as time where even the best video game film adaptations are just mediocre. With Sonic The Hedgehog being a pretty fun and faithful recent video game adaptation, we have high hopes that the trend continues with this attempt. That being said, we are cautiously optimistic about the changes the adaptation will make. Certain characters like Jax and Kano are getting some changes in their origin stories while others like Reptile are receiving major design overhauls. Will they work? Hopefully. I’ve lost faith in my abilities at playing Mortal Kombat when I logged into ranked, so I need something to fix up my lack of Mortal Kombat hankering.

    The cast of sub zero and scorpion (even though scorpion was barely in the movie) were perfect. Especially sub zero. The actor did such a great job playing him. Even though sub zero had a mask throughout most of the film, we are able to see the emotions and deadliness through his eyes.

      No he hasn't been confirmed. The director specifically said that if the movie did well and a second film was green lite by the studio, he would love to have Johnny (a big time fan favorite) in the Film as a main character or the main character. He also said he wanted a well known name to play the role, basically he wants to be firing on all cylinders.
      So far it look like it will happen but who knows what the director has planned for they story and script.

    @staggerlee1869 3 роки тому +9

    I still want to see it, but yeah it looks like there’s a lot of misses. That’s to be expected and doesn’t mean the film will be terrible. I do like the casting of Joe Taslim as I’m a fan of The Night Comes For Us and The Raid. Also Ichi the Killer and Last Life in the Universe are two of my favorite films so I’m glad to see Tadanobu Asano cast as Raiden. I’m a bit skeptical about the addition of a new (and seemingly unnecessary character) the way he was pitched in the interview I read was “as Paul learns about the tournament the audience is brought along with him to learn about the world of Mortal Kombat”. Meaning they basically added him as guide for the audience, but I feel like if they kept with the original story that would be unnecessary, but that’s judging it without seeing it. Other things that are a bit iffy are hearing Kano is more of an antihero, there’s no Johnny Cage (which is odd because the series may not have existed without him) and the CG looks terrible (but that’s watching it on a tablet screen or a computers screen so it may look better at the theater). I know that Sub-Zero doesn’t take Jax’ arms in any version of MK, but it’s different how he lost his arms in the comics, in the games etc. So there are concerns, but I still really want to see it and I shouldn’t judge it before I watch it. It could be good, but I think a lot of people are wary as video game film adaptations are rarely good. With a stack of comics, eleven games considered canon and other film and series iterations there’s a lot to work with.
