I don’t have a problem with him! He was good in this. He’s just not the guy you’d associate with “making artistic choices” He likes money!
"I need you to kill Johnny Cage at 12 and then call Raiden and tell him I'll need him at 2 for the hat fittings, I'll be back at 3 I expect my coffee waiting for me......that's all."
Mortal Kombat X, 11, and MK1 are all on sale on Steam with all DLC for $25 so I picked that up (unsure if console has a similar deal going on rn)
Yo this ruled. My favorite part was actually that fight with Katana and Johnny. The way she hoisted herself onto the roof and then messed him up was special.
I kinda wish the tournament fights were a little longer but overall very happy with the fighting in this
The way they handle Cole is very strange. He is treated as the least important fighter, so it is not some big surprise when he loses to Shao Kahn. When the group is together, he is in the background. Johnny Cage is the point-of-view character, Sonya is the one dumping exposition, and they call Liu Kang literally the best fighter on the team. Even Jax gets more lines and screen time. If you had not seen the first movie, you would not have any idea that this is supposed to be a big event. As bad as Mortal Kombat: Annihilation was, that film does it better, with Johnny Cage, the man who defeated Goro, falling to the new threat right away. The impact is also blunted by what we already know about Shao Kahn at that point. We already saw him defeat Katana's father, so his power is understood, and this is after he gets the immortality MacGuffin. It should have happened before that, and then the stakes get more extreme when he achieves immortality. Was Shao Kahn trying to conquer Eden and Earth around the same time? If you have to defeat them ten times and it is twenty years for every tournament, they would have to be hundreds of years old.
well given most of the negative comments were directed toward Cole in MK1, I'm not surprised they didn't focus on him. Not saying how they handled it was perfect or anything and I feel bad for the actor who I like outside of this role. I think my only real complaint was that Shao Kahn, outside the opening scene, wasn't particularly a dangerous fighter -- least not against this crew and required immortality and distraction of trying to get the amulet to win every other time lol
