- Outtakes are here: • Everything Wrong With ...
Mortal Kombat is a violent ode to the video game that inspired it. And, hey, we like violence. It's just hard to enjoy it when there are so many sins.
Next week: cartoon super sins and '80s sins.
Remember, no movie is without sin. Which movie's sins should we count next?

Ok
I really with the BTS podcast would explain why this was done.
You should sin whiplash
Noice, made the day great🍻
Hey Jeremy did i ask you to give the mortal kombat movie the sentence to hell? How about u rethink ur decision in solitary take him away
*the **m.ps** arrested Jeremy from cinema sins* I apologize On behalf of that asshole he really screwed the pooch on this one all of you had been pardoned * i retracted the sins and give the correct sentence: HEAVEN*
thats all dismissed.
The biggest sin of this whole movie, besides not being a full Mortal Kombat tournament, was not giving us the 2 hour Scorpion Samurai Revenge Epic we deserved.
@Rodolfo Ramos Even that cartoon Mortal Kombat "movie" we got on VHS before the release of the '95 movie had a better representation of the rivalry... and better CGI.
The 90s film is somehow much better than this.
Biggest sin of this movie is talking about a tournament all the time and never actually having a tournament. The tournament never happens. Other than that though, I enjoyed the shit out of it.
The closest you'll probably get is 'Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge', and even then, more time is spent on developing Liu Kang, Sonya, and Johnny Cage instead of Scorpion.
Mortal Kombat is just about Scorpion. Last I check the games have more than one character in them. Tf wants to watch a MK movie about solely one character who isn’t even the main character (Liu Kang) anyway
Stabby yo-yo is the best description of Scorpion's kunai I've ever heard.
Lowkey i always thought he used it like a kusarigama
@@rafrivera7883 It's a rope dart, which means it CAN be used that way, in addition to throwing it and yanking it back, both as a ranged stabby thing and as a hook.
It did sound kinda funny though. LoL
To be fair, at least initially, he was using it kind of as a meteor hammer which is a real weapon style that's cool to watch. However, I'm reaching to find praises to this movie, hehe. Apparently when you use a hook/spear point attached to a rope though, it's called kusari-fundo/kusari-gama.
Hahahahahaha
Totally missed the opportunity to remove a sin when Liu Kang repeats the low kick sweep on Kano. That part was absolutely hysterical
Ha! I loved that they included that Spammer move in the movie...it helped me win a few games back when I was a kid 😂
that move got me out of a tough spot when my nephew who actually knew how to play didnt give me time to remember the controls, i just started spamming it after the tenth round where he beat me with no opposition and i swear ive never seen a 9 yr old get so mad so fast, he never won a single game against me after that
It was cringe as fuck.
Kano was the only good part in this dumpster fire
@@ptlovelight2971 Ah, so you were one of _those_ guys. 😆
This whole movie happens because the good guys are incompetent, and the good guys win because the bad guys were ultimately MORE incompetent.
Which makes the movie even more incompetent.
Aka every single movie ever
@@prestonlogan3808 aka every MK plot ever
You missed out on the "Cole left his family to protect them because his proximity put them in danger, but decided to go back to his family, putting them in danger."
Don't forget that he then left them _again_ so they would be put back in danger of being frozen and abducted by SubZero, after which they were promptly frozen and abducted by SubZero, waiting for Cole to return and save them from danger. Again.
Ok but who the hell is Cole?
Raiden isn't allowed to interfere in Mortal Kombat, however, the tournament hasn't started yet, so Kung Lao should've been saved. Such Bullshit.
I bet you 100 that they want to make him a revenant and "hate Raiden for not saving him"
Cole: I thought you couldn't interfere?
Raiden: 😁
Kung Lao: What. The. Fu-
Even 1995's Mk got that right when Raiden protected his fighters on the ship.
@@Wolfcub23 It was fun, it's just that the self-insert or whoever the fuck Cole was supposed to be was pretty bland.
@@Wolfcub23 Yeah, and the tournament could've been a sequel.
Sadly...... This video was VERY accurate. Only correction I have is the Raiden from 1995 actually protected the fighters everytime they got attacked before the tournament started. This guy did squat.
Agreed. Its sad to say, but the original movie was/ is still the best one. And that movie only cost $ 1 million to make...
Dude has no idea what he's talking about. He said Kabal was from out world. He clearly knows nothing about mk except this movie.
@@sugadaddy7050 I seen it years ago, The original is better than this.....disappointment.
Lol I just watched the movie and laughed at your comment lol 😂
As silly as it seemed, Kunai (like many eastern martial arts weapons) are actually originally a gardening/agricultural tool, so it was completely acceptable that she was using it to garden.
“And that’s all the movie has to say about that” The tag line for the movie
The problem is that so much of the movie just lacks the proper exposition to explain the events of the first tournament and would’ve been better off if Cole Young was replaced by Johnny Cage, I think Louis Tan would’ve played him pretty well and there wouldn’t be any confusion as to who Cole is and what his role in the series is. In addition to this, they don’t explain the proper rules of the tournament well or any of their powers, it would’ve been better to explain that Earth risks being overrun by Outworld if they lose a consecutive amount of tournaments which motivates them to fight. In addition to that, they should’ve better developed Raiden’s character and given him better reasons for being so cynical compared to his video game counterpart. Maybe showcase how he’s been weathered over time by seeing countless Earthrealm kombatants lose, so he’s trying with all he’s got with the current lot. The mark for kombatants is also stupid, they should just make them chosen and have their reasons for Raiden drawing them to fight in the tournament, just like in the animated movie. Plus, on top of this, they keep killing people off before the tournament begins and don’t articulate the actual rules behind it. It makes sense that Shang Tsung would try to kill people off before the tournament begins but I’m pretty sure the game forbade him from doing so, which is why he usually tries stuff like this when people are in different realms.
I am disappointed there wasn't an observation that Cole was saved by his Arcana; which was LITERALLY plot armor.
AH HA!!! 🤣🤣🤣Hahahaha!! That would've been amazing if the sin was "LITERAL PLOT ARMOR EX-MACHINA!!"
HAHAHAHAHA! My friend and I said the exact same thing when we first watched the movie!
I told my family that his Arcana was "Plot Armor" and they legit thought I made up that phrase 😂
an arcana is literally an ex-machina
@@bommer5750 no it's not
I'm calling a sin on CinemaSins, you completely skipped over the fact that Sub-Zero apparently waited hundreds of years, then randomly told Shang Tsung for no reason, "I am no longer Bi-Han...I am Sub Zero!".
Wait was the implication that Sub Zero knew Shang Tsung when he killed scorpion.
@@seanthomas1552it should be that way if they want to stick to the source material, but given how far they've strayed already, who knows
Also. Bigger sin. Bi Han is a mortal. How did he live from the time he killed Scorpion to the Modern Day??
"Sorry, I'm not allowed to interfere. I can't save everyone."
YOU LITERALLY JUST INTERFERED AND SAVED ALMOST EVERYONE.
You missed the fact that Cole's arcana is literally plot armor during the Goro fight. That woulda been a great sin.
I remember laughing so hard when it came to me. "Wait... Is that LITERAL PLOT--"
Finally someone noticed that
Maybe he doesn't know that joke
@Jonathan Perez Cole did stab Sub-Zero in the chest with his Tonfa, which is technically connected to his armour.
The Pitch Meeting guy said exactly that
So, Scorpion learned how to say "get over here" in English but didn't have time to learn more English?
Haha
Exactly🤣🤣🤣
Hell doesn't have the best learning annex
Used Google Translate Speech.
That is all that is inportant
You forgot to call Cole's arcana: a literal plot armor.
You should've screamed "Plot armor" when you got to his arcana coming out xD
biggest flaws of this movie:
1.- birthmarks to show you're worthy to enter the turnament
2.- Arcanas
3.- F*CKING COLE
4.- Sub-zero actually being called the strongest of the netherealm faction
5.- F*CKING GORO REDUCED TO TYPICAL HENCHMAN!!! HE'S THE F*CKING SUB-BOSS OF THE ORIGINAL GAME!!
6.- NO F*CKING JHONNY CAGE!!!!!
7- Shafting Liu Kang the actual hero
8- Raiden and Shang Tsung are bland as hell compared to 90s film
9- Godly teleportation is only used to have seperate fights and not to effectively take the villains out
10- No actual tournament
@@li-limandragon9287 subboss IS a henchman😂
Agree with all points, and would like to add a couple rather underwhelming performances from shang tsung and liu kang, at least in comparison to their 1995 counterparts. Cary tagawa and robin shou owned that film. This time the characters were just like cosplayers or charicatures
@@pamoweiberezi5315 I know that, take it up with Omar.
@@pamoweiberezi5315 even among henchman there are ranks, hence I use the term typical, gotta learn to read buddy.
5:50 showing the guy getting his dome piece rocked 3 times had me crying laughing
Anyone notice how jax getting super strong robot arms also made his legs able to stand with the weight of a huge Boulder?
The fact you called Reptile “the lizard” is slander I refuse to stand for 😂
Discount killer croc was hilarious though 🤣
Nothing worse than the what the movie did to him by calling him Syzoth when literally most MK fans have no idea that's his name, and left the movie either thinking it wasn't Reptile or didn't know if it was him or not.
That and saying that kabal is from outworld
Bold of them to release a Mortal Kombat movie all about the lore a year after the last game pretty much went "You know all that lore we built in the last 25 years? Yeah, none of it matters anymore and we can make up as much as we want from here on."
Which sucks and explains why mk9 to mk11 aftermath are a disgrace to what fans know. They should have continue Taven's story but then again they would fuck it up and can care less what we think and know what they were supposed to do.
I'm pretty sure MK11 is a direct follow up to MK10, which itself was a follow up to MK9. Love it or hate it, the story is objectively tied together with the past several titles. I don't know how anyone could think MK11 was some type of hard reboot.
I mean the movie didn’t stick to the lore either
@@justinlacek1481 maybe but it was poorly execute tho.
@@osirisjojo6876 not really. Mk11's reboot was good in that it resolved all of the lingering pieces and opened it up to pretty much any new stories. The story is essentially the same as Marvel's Secret Wars, which is probably the best reboot in comic history.
Two requests: Sharkboy and Lavagirl, and The Cat in the Hat (2003)
Already done a cat in the hat one
There’s nothing wrong with shark boy and lava girl. A truly perfect film. Mr electric send this commenter to the principles office and have him expelled!
Can you sin perfection?
Both movies are shit lmaoo
@SummerSapphireYT Because they're kids movies and you're not the target audience. Dumb arse.
It's actually a VERY realistic depiction of ninja weapons, which were whatever relatively sharp gardening/home improvement tools they had on hand. Easy to hide your weapon in plain sight.
There was a cpl things he said that made me think he didn’t watch the movie at all but I also do agree that the movie sucks azz
But there are enought swords lying around so why use a gardentool.@@bryceharper5748
60 more sins for the animated movie that came out right next to this one being 10 times better
"What kind of monster doesn't punctuate their subtitles?!"
I'm dead 🤣
Lol
How is this comment 3hours ago &this video has only been uploaded for 10min... WTF 🤯😳😳
As he then proceeds to not punctuate his own subtitles 😂
The sad thing is most of the issues could have been fixed if cole was replaced with Johny Cage.
Not necessarily, Johnny Cage is a step up from the generic action MC, and just the writing in general hurt the character not really Cole himself, like for example when you write that your character loses every single fight but then conveniently beats someone way stronger than him it’s the writing, in reality Cole should’ve just been Takeda and then said his adopted father or his moms husband was Kenshi
@@RojoTrueShinobi I completely agree that its the writers fault. I get that they wanted someone the audience could relate to and follow on there journey. That role could have gone to any number of MK characters. I just said Johnny because he has been with the series from the beginning. But i also like your idea as well. On a side note I would love to see the MK Legacy expanded and continued
@@ndcp2379 Cage is supposed to be the GOAT. Hence the tease at the end. Have you played the recent games? Cage is actually a BIG deal later on in the stoyline
@@AFZ6767 I haven't played them but that's what UA-cam is for. I actually think the Movie should use more story elements from the games. To me the ideal movie aside from a straight adaptation of the Game would be a combination of MK1 movie, MK Legacy and Scorpions Revenge and stay rated R
@@AFZ6767 Since ever, i don't know why people never bring that up. A lot of followers seem to forget that in MK 4 lore, the elder gods bringed Cage to life again in the war against Shinnok, is not like he was a pushover, ever.
Idk why but at the end when he says "No Raiden why can't YOOOOU FIND THEM?" Legit made me laugh out loud, I swear if Cole or somebody said that in the movie I would've legit died. Lmao
"what kind of monster doesn't punctuate their subtitles"
I adore that you deliberately didn't punctuate that particular set of subtitles
The one sink of Sauron… mwahahahahaha!!!
One sink to rule them all,
One sink to find them,
One sink to bring them all,
And in the Darkness bind them
Also conveniently happens right before everything pops off lol
Coach Ramsey watches these, sorta laughing because the last video i was watching a minute ago was your explanation about the internet backlash about the toes in the cage
I died laughing 🤣
the day that sub-zero was defeated was the most important day of your life, but for me, it was tuesday.

Unimportant but you remember it was a Tuesday
@@Raximus3000 you idiots do realize it's a joke right?
@@Raximus3000 Tuesdays are cheap days, at least at my local cinema
M. Bison 😀
2:11 Actually, that isnt the only weapon he uses. Him being the leader of the Shirai Ryu also makes him an excellent swordsman, not to mention hand-to-hand fighter. Plus, as Scorpion, he also opts to use his fire-breathing skull and his hand from hell. He never just sticks to his kunai, even tho theyre his most iconic weapons. It just happens that this movie only showed the kunai and not much else.
This movie eviscerates Mortal Kombat lore.
The MK tournaments were designed to assemble the greatest fighters across multiple worlds. Some were "chosen ones" like Liu Kang since he was chosen by Raiden to defend Earthrealm but a lot were kind just roped into the tournament for various reasons, often personal reasons. I hate how Jax gets his arms ripped off by Sub-Zero and not Ermac. Ermac would have been a much better villain, would have made sense given the MK9 canon, and would have given Shang Tsung a proper ally given Ermac was literally made by Shang to begin with. Also Jax's arms are cybernetic not magic. Cybernetics is pretty common in the MK universe through Kano and the Cyber Lin Kuei. The fact Jax goes from having literal chicken feet for arms to "magical" robot arms because he saved Sonya is utter bullshit. Also Kano's a member of the Black Dragon along with Kabal. The fact Kabal knows Kano's on Earth implies the Black Dragon is a thing so Sonya not immediately wanting to kill Kano despite him being involved in the tournament is also bullshit. It's also bullshit that Kano even bothers with the tournament and Kabal sides with Shang Tsung - their roles are literally REVERSED in the MK9 canon! Kano is a selfish prick who sides with Shang and Kabal leaves the Black Dragon but gets immolated by Kintaro which is why he has the suit. The speed was given by Shang Tsung, who tried to revive him. Obviously Shang gave Kabal the suit and the magic in the movie but I don't get why Kabal would side with Shang since that's literally not what the MK9 canon is.
Also Raiden cannot interfere with Mortal Kombat once the tournament has started. He cannon participate and nobody can challenge him. But when Shao Khan and Shang Tsung invade Earth, violating the terms of Mortal Kombat, he is allowed to engage. So Raiden claiming he can't engage even when Shang Tsung clearly is violating the terms of Kombat is 200% bullshit.
Also Mileena being in the movie despite Shao Khan not having been introduced. It makes zero sense for Mileena to be in the movie if Shao Khan isn't the movie's antagonist. Why Sub-Zero though? Bi-Han wasn't even the one who killed Hanzo's clan in the MK9 canon, it was Kuai Liang. Bi-Han is killed by Scorpion in Mortal Kombat in revenge but returns as Noob Saibot.
It would have been much better for Scorpion to kill Bi-Han only to realize he killed the wrong person half-way through and use that as a plot-twist.
Nice one. I'm sure that the writers didn't even play at least one of the games before coming with this script. And to think that they scrapped Johnny Cage for a Mary-Sue... The best live-action adaptations of MK are the 1995 first movie and MK Legacy.
Kuai Liang didn't kill the Shirai Ryu, it was Bi-Han, play MKM: Sub-Zero
I know right! All they had to do is follow the script from the original and this movie would have been pure gold. Its sad...
@@Ryze2803 I do remember though when they rebooted the series and Raiden did his time travel stuff the first sub-zero we see, who later is killed by Scorpion and becomes Noob Saibot, expresses he wasn't the one who killed the Shirai Ryu. Unless that was later retconned or he lied when he was fried. Ill go over MKM: Sub-Zero to make sure.
@@thestellarvoid9529 then it was quan-chi. Kuai Liang had nothing to do with the death of the Shirai Ryu
Arcana and dragon markings. The games have been around since '92, but all of a sudden we need a name for these powers and tattoos to distinguish who's worthy or not. Writers just can't help themselves
Yeah I hate that part the most
They should have just had the Elder Gods and Raiden foresee and decide.
In mortal kombat 3 kahn and his minions invaded earthrealm, and most of the population's souls were claimed. A few, like your normal heroes and kabal and striker survived. They were seen as chosen or worthy. I like that reasoning much better than tattoos lol
Shit's like the chi level bullshit in the mulan remake. Why can't someone just be good at fighting? who cares about all this mystical bullshit learn to write a naturally occuring conflict with cool fight scenes
Ikr? Also...who the fuck is Cole?
Kano's back must have hurt for carrying the movie.
And Kung Lao's up til what happened to him. 😔
Sub-zero did his part too.
💯💯💯💯 3 of the best characters in the movie was killed. I wanted more Scorpion.
@@UltimateBallaPOM he was a one note villain. No depth at ALL 😂
@@coldermusic2729
The actor and his special effects.
The story was hot garbage.
This was easily far more entertaining than the actual movie
17:15 Knowing a thing or two about the lore might help you out a bit.
The character you claim "...lives in Outworld and just happens to know Kano who is from Earth..." actually just happens to be a former member of Kano's Black Dragon clan and is also actually from Earthrealm. They even touch on their past in their dialogue later, when he goads Kano into taking down the force field.
However, the jab about how he could possibly know Kano might be among the very rare 'marked' fighters is quite appropriate and annoyed me when I first saw the scene.
Thank you for saying it. Oh and since I'm posting. Fuck this movie. This movie couldn't be any further from the source material if they tried.
He also didn’t know reptile
Kabal, yeah they could've done a lot more with that backstory
@@Native_Creation This is True. Like Hinted at his actual backstory. This movie has taken Annihilations place as the worst Mortal Kombat film.
I kept telling my firends that Cole super power is literally plot armor, try to tell me I am wrong.
Is cole an actual character in the game? Or was he made up specifically for this movie
@@shadowbladeandlightin8889 for the film. I don't think anyone would have cared had he been a side character, but to be the defacto lead was a questionable choice
You are not
Plot armor and still couldn't win a single fight without help. That shows how terrible he is.
@Rodolfo Ramos He’s the Alice of Mortal Kombat
"Cole Young. The character that ruined the story by Eddie Tobias."
Aside from all the criticism, can we just for a sec and appreciate how badass Sub-zero was? He looked like a horror movie villain.
@Weegie Squeegee Okay...
After finished watching this movie, I'm starting to think that the screen writer and director of this movie, tried to compete with Dragon Ball evolution and the Last Airbender for the "Worst plot of live action adaptation" in movie awards.
At least the action and costumes are better than those two.
Your assumption about this ripping off Black Panther is correct considering Cole isn't in the video games.
I was wondering that. I haven't played the games so thank you for clearing this up. why the heck did they add in a character that's not even from the games? Don't know about the fans of the game but that seems stupid to me. I know I haven't personally played the games but I know about it enough to know that there were plenty of other characters in the game they could've used, right? I mean come on, seriously?!
@@yufi305 It was arguably one of the dumbest decisions in a very long line of dumb decisions. They make their own OC so they can do whatever the hell they want with it instead of needing to stick to any kind of lore. Also make it a white guy because you can actually make Liu Kang the main character again, even tho he often is seen as one in the games.
ALSO his arcana? Yeah, its literally Plot Armor.
He made a joke about the movie introducing too many characters but the game has literally over 100 across its games. There are SO many iconic characters you could pick to be the MC of a movie.
@@Durzaka Lewis Tan is half Chinese and Half British.
@@magicjewel96 So hes a generic half white dude. The focus was on the generic in my statement.
@@yufi305 like Johnny Cage, for instance.
Jax's magical power of destiny is growing cybernetic prosthetic arms.
That's all I have to say about this movie.
Yeah I hate that arcane crap doesn’t have anything to do with the actual games
Exactly. Question is, what the hell would have happened if his arms didn’t get froze off???
@@Fendaxis cybernetic strengh enhancers
I just want to know how they teach cyber-prosthetics surgery at raiden's temple. Is there a scholarship or is it that whichever asshole shows up gets magic medical skills in service of the weakest plot imaginable
@@steik6414 honestly bro this is one of the dumbest moments in the movie, there is a little thing called the cyber initiative in the game just link that to how Jax got his arms, Kano got his cybernetic laser eye and Sonya her hi- tech gadgets.
Actually Tshang Sung using SZ to kill the marked earth realmers is GENIUS! there is no second best for erath realm because the mark can only be transferred to someone who kills the barrer if they dont have one. SZ had a mark so the transfer cancels out and keeps other earthrealm fighters from being chosen.
Though the argument could be made that if a marked person kills another person with a mark it transfers to another living relative. After all Bi-Han who most likely had a mark killed Hanzo and it transferred to Hanzos baby that was rescued by Raiden.
Liu Kang is my fav video game character of all time (along with sonic but that dosnt matter), and they did him so dirty. Idk if they were trying to make hime like mk 9 which has the most hated version of him (along with me) but in the movie his script was corny and his presence wasn’t exciting like mk 10 or mk 11, it has nothing to do with actor or how he was betrayed but he was just blatantly lame. Now thank you for reading my rant 😘
Honestly, the best part of this movie was the start. Hanzo’s beginning arc was awesome; the other main characters were dry as hell. I didn’t expect a GOOD movie, but I expected it to at least be entertaining. Should’ve just been about Hanzo himself.
The beginning of the movie felt like a different director which should of kept it that way unless it was just they hired a good fight choreographer and then switched it. Opening was Excellent.
Yeah I wanted to see a Scorpion original story where he fights through literal hell and at the climax of the film he has a choice to resurrect his family or get revenge and he chooses vengeance... Cue the music and the Johnny Cage solo film tease in the end credits... MKCU is born.
"I'm not allowed to get involved because I'm a god, but the other gods are too lazy to enforce the rules so I'll just sit here watching you die" *Raiden in the games* "You *knew* they broke the rules and still we as the overseeing deities won't do anything? Well, f you too. I revoke my godhood and am going to do what you refuse to."
Not really? Unless you mean the original timeline Raiden in MK9 was the Elder God's bitch, in MKX he was absent for most of it, and in MK11 he died instantly and when the past one came be he did was MK9 Raiden did mostly.
@@NadoKahn in the midway timeline it’s a bit different, The Elder Gods did a shit ton more in the original timeline than in any other, but at a point they allowed Raiden to participate because they called out Outworld on cheating, it wasn’t until Armageddon where he said fuck the elder gods and then goes Dark Raiden for the first time
@@NadoKahn He's not their bitch, he just respects and fears their power unlike Shao Kahn who learned the hard way. Besides, Raiden made up for it in MK 11 by turning LK into a freaking new Protector of Earthrealm, Fire Thunder God and new keeper of time which LK wouldn't have been able to do without Raiden. Besides that's the second timeline, original timeline EG got way more involved and Raiden turned dark and did what he wanted anyway including defying the EG's as both light and Dark Raiden. Raiden also took out Shinnok when unbound by dumb rules centuries ago the first time banishing his ass, Raiden is definitely not a bitch he's just got Superman's nerfing syndrome, he holds back and is way too merciful so the bad guys take advantage of it.
@@MKF30 I think the plot and terrible story of the reboot and movie is what left a bad taste of Raiden and the Elder Gods in everyone’s mouths, not saying they don’t have their flaws, and I remember a lot of the problems from the original timeline was that when Raiden killed someone it bit him in the ass, and by the time he was allowed to participate there were a shit ton of more powerful foes, like no one expected Quan Chi and Shang Tsung to ally, and then Onaga is a whole ass elder god, Shinnok is just as powerful if not more with his amulet, and I wouldn’t say he lost to Taven I do agree he held back against the son of Argus
@@RojoTrueShinobi I wouldn't say terrible just had some flaws which let's be honest every franchise has some DC, Marvel etc but still for a video game and by far for a fighting game MK is by far the best hands down. Raidens one mistake in the old timeline was killing Quan chi and Shang resulting in onaga getting the amulet on top of all the kamidogu but he planned to wipe them all out the only reason onaga survived was due to shujinkos incompetence and getting duped by Damashi who is also Onaga give him the kamidogo all of them which will make anyone insanely op, one is enough to give someone insane power since its literally the essence and power of the one being an omnipresent, eternal deity over the entire universe that nobody can kill but can be defeated as the Elder Gods did eons ago. They trapped its essence in the kamidogu old timeline amulets, new one in daggers and shattered its body turning it into the realms which is insane power its just they tend to be neutral and not want to get involved ever...
Shinnok with his amulet is powerful but so is Raiden, he justbholds back. When he doesn't hes arguably more powrrful than both Shao Kahn and Shinnok. I mean Raiden has effected time itself so yeah...lol but anyone also with the amulet is a high level threat especially Shinnok or Raiden.
The new mk9 story was solid honestly with a few exceptions it is 9ne reason mk got put back on the map bigtime and attracted new fans even every other fighter said nrs redefined the story for fgs as they too now have a story like mode. Between mk and injustice this is pretty obvious. The new movie I feltnhad more positives than negatives but could have been better I have no issues with it being a prequel but more so with cole being there. I get why for the genera audience to latch onto but didn't feel necessary. I have no issues with the Raiden stuff if people knew mk lore they'd know why he didn't do more allnill say on that. I think considering the fact that keep in mind this movie was one of the first to release in theatres dueing a pandemic, rated R and video game movie a stigma against it alone and competition against itself via streaming on HBO it still was number 1 opening weekend at 23 mill and 30 mill streaming. Not too shabby considering. Was it perfect no, but as bad as some people said hell no. On RT the "professional critics" gave it 55% vs audience who gave it 86% nuff said. It'll get 4 more sequels. I still consider the original to be the best video game movie ever but I enjoyed this one and was way better than annihilation.
Scorpions revenge is also solid even if it goes off canon too but most like that movie alot too and end of this month the sequel battle for the realms hits. Looks fun.
"It's like peeing after sex!" Yup, I actually laughed out loud on that one!
He missed the part where Jax fights Reiko. Jax hits Reiko on his left cheek and Reiko’s head turned left instead to the right. Meaning Reiko just broke the law of physics.
What You expected from a WWE reject failure?
"When you sent Alligator Loki to Sonya's compound." I laughed so much 🤣🤣
This movie did everything that you're not supposed to do with making a video game movie adaption. Making it's about a character that was not in the original games, pushing all the old characters to the side, we didn't get much of Scorpion versus Sub-Zero, it's a mess.
On top of a contrived power system.....fucking arcana....
I dunno, people seem to have enjoyed Sonic despite all that.
And once again Kung Lao is dead and I’m sick of it.
@@ndubitably sonic didn't do all of those things. Sonic was the MC in his movie. And eggman vs sonic was nice.
@@waleuska Are you saying that Tom was in the games or that Tails/Knuckles/Metal Sonic/etc. weren't pushed to the side?
Sonic was enjoyable, but saying Mortal Kombat "did everything that you're not supposed to do with making a video game adaptation" and then listing 2 things that a "successful" video game movie already did doesn't seem quite right.
7:40 Jax can’t radio sonya if his freaking arms are ripped off and he’s gone missing and presumably dead 😂✌️
like how cole or sonya dont bother to check on jax and straight went out somewhere else.
ESL classes in hell… man this one had the best lines!
I wish I could dislike Jeremy's videos more than once. Just a bunch of really really bad jokes haha no sins
@@ShlomoMetzenbaum There were so many sins in this movie. Retconning itself, making a new character no one gives a flying fuck about, introducing that arcana bullshit, and absolutely riddled with continuity errors!
@@plagueman049 yeah but Jeremey glossed over those to get to his dumb fucking jokes
@@ShlomoMetzenbaum No, he really didn't.
Too bad we heard that joke over a month ago when Ryan George wrote it
I really hate the whole "I can't have a special family, I'm just an orphan" cliche. It doesn't make any sense at all.
It makes sense to me, i just hate how cliche it is.
An orphan would have pretty low opinions about their biological family so to suddenly be told you are special when you thought you were tossed is jarring i guess.
@@krimsonk-9478 i can see that, but you could also say the opposite. An orphan wpuld also want to be special and dream of their family finding them. (Which is actually another cliche that is also very over done.)
Yeah, that trope's been done to death
@@jedh3721 Great point.
Not to mention I find it weird that he ended up as an Orphan instead of Raiden keeping an eye on him and have his family line trained like Liu Kang & Kung Lao.
He was born from an egg laid by a space monster. She went back to space giving him no parents. Now it makes more sense, you're welcome.
My biggest question is this: what happened to scorpion's daughter?? If scorpion's lineage is so important, why wasn't the movie about scorpions daughter?? Or why didn't they go into detail about what really happened with his daughter?? Did I miss something when they said what happened to her??
she went on to have a family and that’s where cole descends from, it’s not about her it’s the fact his blood line survived what sub zero thought was a total massacre
Also the fact that who knows how many children/grand children she had so why the fuck is Cole so special?
I love the attention to detail, with the Unpunctuated Subtitles, where you didn't do it either. Love the channel for the smol things like that. Ding
"Is he dead? I'm pretty sure he's dead! Let's check again... let's see it again.. this is getting sad now.. one more time!! HE TOTALLY dead!"🤣🤣 I can't breathe, I'm laughing so hard
Lol, reminded me of the guy in dodgeball : a true underdog story that gets hit by the russian chick and falls against the jukebox. ''I think that guy might really be dead.''
Remind me of the Monsters vs Aliens video when he keeps replaying the protagonist getting smashed by a big building or something and she voiced by Reese Witherspoon. Just check it, it's funny AF.
Besides Cole and the stupid “dragon birthmark that’s never been a thing” I liked it.
Get rid of Cole, resurrect my boy, make him and Liu Kang the MCs for the next movie.
What I don't get is why didn't they get the dude who plays cole to play kenshi instead?
@@Gamingchairenthusiast122 that would’ve been perfect!
I know, those two elements were dumb.
I hated the stupid power things too.
Oh and also the scene where Kung Lao gets his soul sucked, there where a lot of things wrong with that. First off they did Kung Lao dirty, second off Kabal's stupid ass commentary, third off I know damn well everyone there could've ran and saved him or Raiden could've teleported him like he always does.
I laughed at the goro-no-moro part more than I should have
In the part where subzero is "in pursuit"...am I the only one that noticed that Jax made 3 right turns ending up right back where he was? That implies that Subzero only walked into the alley.
Josh Lawson as Kano is definitely the best part of the movie.
His back hurts from carrying that movie.
He was really great. He just looked like he was having the time of his life. Scorpion and Sub-Zero were fucking perfect too
My head still hurts from all that arcana bs and Jax getting magic arms and Sonya getting superpowers. Just give them hi tech gadgets and cybernetic arms.
@@ardent835The filmmakers clearly thought a cyborg laser eye and a energy blast wrist weapons would be too hard to for audiences to believe.
You fucking beauty
Props to Kano’s actor who managed to scrounge some entertainment value out of this god awful script.
Actually, Kano actor apparently came up with many of his own lines so you can't even credit the script even a tiny bit, which just makes the writer even worse.
@ 20:26..."Jax...trying to get that nut out" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's funny you mention the rope because I did landscaping for 10 years. The second year we were planting flowers and they were meant to be a certain pattern and distance between each plant. So I came up with the idea to use a rope in order to plant them in a completely straight line.
People who saw my work would always ask me how the hell the flowers were so perfectly straight and I would tell them to use a rope to keep it straight.
Thank you for addressing Scorpion removing his mask again and again. I remember seeing it being like.."Why?"
"So it's all downhill from here"
That basically sums up every Mortal Kombat adaptation after the first movie.
Eh I disagree the second MK movie was ok. Ill take that than this garbage they gave us.
@@zamasu9396 Annihilation was "ok?"

Pretty sad that Kano made a better Mortal Kombat protagonist than a made up character.
He’s the only interesting and believable character in the film, he’s more of a audience surrogate than Cole OC dude.
A lot of movies/tv shows/video games/etc. have a villain that would make a better protagonist than the plain hero.
Kano was awesome because he was the only one that didn't give a crap! Everyone else tried to play their role 'so serious' but Kano knew how bad the script really was and acted accordingly.
@@strawhat9023 And that way, Kano's portrayal was spot on. Kabal's was pretty good too
Kano was far far the best part of this piece of shit movie, and his total one-dimensional character wasn't good at all.
24:35 scared the shit out of me seeing sub zero standing there in the theater
I love Sub-Zero's stance here 16:56 and how bored he looks.
"Handled that task like a sloth blowing itself on a merry-go-round."
Well, that's a phrase I didn't know existed until this moment, and I'm going to be using this whenever possible.
Im glad im not the only one who loved that line
I just cant tell if its used to denote incompetence, something futile, or something that's going to take forever. Funny enough I think its could be used for all three
Did you forget to sin the whole Sonya can just use her Arcana without having to do anything to unlock it? She just gets the mark and bam shows up with power rings!
I much prefer the explanation for the game where are there like gauntlet/glovesz
I never realized until this video that Jax says, "Eddie Tobias". Nice 🤘🏻
I may be in the minority, but I didn’t think this movie was nearly as bad as people made it out to be. Cheesy in lots of spots, but not the worst thing I have ever seen on tv. My biggest issue with it was out of all the iconic game characters that could have been the lead, they decided to go with…Cole. For me, that was distracting.
Raiden: I MUST CONSULT WITH THE ELDER GODS
Me: but in this movie you are an elder god, Raiden
Raiden: 😁
*spin around full 360*
"Nah bruh you good"
Raiden consults the Elder Gods before deciding whether to go to toilet or not.
"I'm pretty sure there are fewer heroes and villains in all the actual video game iterations combined"

I love how cole's power only comes around when he gets the shit kicked outta him.
That homemade ice pick line nearly made me trip over myself with laughter.
Kano is absolutely the best part in this movie he's so precious.
At least Josh Lawson was having fun in the role, everyone else was just phoning it in.
His back hurts carrying the whole movie. Although, the actor who played Scorpion and Sub-Zero are good too and they should just focus on them!
We didn't see a whole lot of him, but Kabal was my favorite from the movie. The voice actor somehow made Kabal having a Brooklyn dialect sound amazing and the sarcastic humor was perfect
@@TwilitLugia Kabal was actually a decent standard for a minor villain in this movie.
Both of his fights were flashy and had fewer camera edits.
He actually had some personality and the tiniest bit of background.
The rest of the minor villains didn't even meet the minimum standard.
That was actually one of the worst parts of the movie lmao Kano was never that important to the story line lmfao. Hes just a side villain who gets killed by Sonya. They did way to much with a character no one cares about. It would be like a Batman and Robin movie dedicated to "Commissioner Gordans wife" where she saves the day and has more important roles and back story than Batman & Robin themselves lmfao thats stupid smh
That smug look Raiden gave when Cole said "I thought you couldn't get involved made me fucking FURIOUS! I HATE him so fucking much.
That shit was so ass, why did they make him such a detestable piece of shit in this movie? They did get that he's supposed to be a good guy, right?
17:15 Well, arent both Kano and Kabal part of the black dragon? Thats how Kabal would know Kano.
Was that ever explained tho? Nope..

With an oc for a protagonist.

"Is Mortal Kombat, the competition that determines the fate of the UNIVERSES, seriously governed more loosely than Major League Baseball?"
I only just realized:earth is kinda lucky that one of our warrior saviors was already practicing marital arts. If cole had chosen to go into photography, this would have been a really different movie
The marks stupidity.
Even if they managed to kill all the ones with marks. They'd just go to someone else. The roster would refill immediately.
Yeah but gotta wonder would Sub Zero get the markings if he killed them? Maybe it was to make sure Earthrealm had no fighters to work with while Sub Zero ends up with all these crazy powers.
@@NadoKahn But Sonya doesn't get Kano's eye laser, it doesnt seem like they absorb abilities from each other.
@@steik6414 Sonya gets arm lasers though. It’s the same Arcana, just manifested in a different area. It’s why she says it’s a “parting gift from Kano”
killing the fighters would refill the roster immediately but it would also give them less time to train and find their arcana, which means at the time of the tournament, earthrealm fighters wouldnt win because they are untrained or lack their arcana.
The mark is supposed to go to the person that kills them isn't it
Arkana means family…
Family means nobody gets left behind!
Dominic toretto's motto
9:58 - Kano was done very well in this movie; totally agree.
It's not the worst. Never forget the nightmare cartoon Mortal Kombat: The Journey Begins still haunts me.
There used to be a show on Discovery Channel or The History Channel that brokedown weapons throughout history and how they are used.
The weapon that the rope and spade creates, that is designed to engage multiple attackers simultaneously and keep them outside of melee range.
So, probably, by accident... That was the appropriate weapon to choose over a sword. As you know, because if more than one enemy attacks you in melee at the same time, it rapidly becomes a problem. You can't always assume the baddies will attack you one at a time... wait a minute.
I don't know if you forgot the name but it's called a rope dart
I’m starting to think Jeremy has no idea that Cole’s not from the games
Or that Kabal's originally from Earthrealm
Does it really fucking matter? This movie blows...
I also don't think he knew that this Sub-Zero was suppose to die so he could come back as Noob Saibot and be replaced by the much better Sub-Zero, Kuai Liang.
@@StephonZeno no, but you’d think the guy that’s known for shitting on movies would call the movie out for creating a protagonist that doesn’t exist in the game it’s based on.
Literally my friend was asking who the hell is Cole and I'm just like , "I have no idea he's new to me too."
I just want to thank you for giving me the visual of a sloth doing "things" to himself while on a merry go round. It's like a train wreck in my mind that I can't look away from.
