I think that’s why Liu Kang says “what have they done to you” at the start of the clip.I always thought kung lao was a good guy. The more you know

Looks good. His fire seemed basically useless while the blade hat presented itself as completely deadly. Yet I think things were just getting heated up (heh)

I mean, why the fuck was that so hard?
Just take the thing I like and make a movie of exactly that, then I'll pay you to see it.
How do movie studios fuck this up again and again?
Do I want to see Kung Lao throwing his shit around and Liu Kang striking his 90's MK1 fireball pose? Fuck yes. Thanks for doing precisely that.

It was also a plot point in some of the newer MK games - some good guys were turned into evil shades of themselves

Oh shit, this comes out tomorrow and i'm not working. I figured it'd be a bit off still like Street Fighter. Assuming the tickets aren't like $50 it might just have been meant to be.

I mean everyone predicted he was getting the Johnny Cage treatment from the OG MK2 movie, so not surprising. When your super power is plot armor, it’s only as powerful as what the story requires lol

Saw it today with the family, it was pretty entertaining.
A lot of references to the games (moves, special attacks, one of the fatalities), the character designs are pretty faithful to the recent games as well.
Despite being on screen a lot, Karl Urban doesn't steal the whole show, most characters get some pretty good scenes (Cole Young indeed is just there to die but even his fight is pretty cool, especially its location).
My only disappointment was that they showed pretty much all the characters in the trailers (except one) so there weren't many surprises, and I thought the roster for Outworld was pretty slim.
But it's still preferable to the old Mortal Kombat 2 movie from the 90's that tried to shove everyone into the movie and they all ended stupidly cheap-looking and dead in 3 seconds.
