I mean that seems to be totally what this is. She doesn't appear sympathetic at all. She seems evil straight from the get-go.

idk. seems like the trailer is setting up for cruella to be some kind of impish but misunderstood outsider who doesn't play by the rules

Once Upon a Time was a show that was carried entirely on the entire cast being 100% aware of what kind of show it was and playing "who can chew the scenery the most" for like 8 seasons or however long it ran. It's honestly impressive how loving insane it was.

And the fanbase for it LOVED every second of it.

I had an instant crush on Sebastian Stan thanks to the show :allears:. I'm still mad his character got killed off (but I don't complain about him playing Bucky). But yeah, the show was bonkers and that's what made it so good. Still laughing my rear end that they managed to put Esla in it.

It's kinda stupid they didn't get a drag queen for it - they would be the perfect fit!

Ginger Minj or Nina West would be ideal.

I feel like the main problem for any new Mortal Kombat movie is that the most memorable part of the original was the theme song, and I don't see how you're going to beat that

I’ll say it looks fine, but for me to give it an awesome rating they need to drop the terrible CGI blood and gore effects, give me some proper practical viscera hanging off shattered bones and I’ll get excited.

Johnny Cage will show up in either the mid or post-credits stinger to join in the festivities

He will then die immediately at the start of the next MK Movie again lol

JCVD playing himself as an actor/martial-artist who gets killed in the first 5 minutes of the tournament would be aces. Would put a lot of pressure on Cage to be rad, though.

The theory is "Cole" is the second Sub-Zero.

I love that show and its crazy relationships. Evil Queen and Wicked Witch of The West are stepsisters! Rumplestiltskin is Peter Pan's son! Hot Captain Hook is dating Snow White's daughter who is Anna and Elsa's cousin (and she had a son with Peter Pan's grandson)! This show is pretty much a Wattpad fanfic.

HAHAHA I had forgotten how convoluted the relationships were and that Hook was hot as gently caress. Also, shame that The Big Bad Wolf was another character that got killed off so fast. But I guess they wanted to avoid getting slammed with a lawsuit from the creators of Fables***.

**Edit: The premise of OUAT was the super extremely similar to the comic book Fables, until they decided to go full bonkers later on.

I guess I'm gonna binge on it again once I finish my re-watch of Daredevil.

I don't get why you'd have possibly the most famous character from the franchise - especially after he's already used lots of ice stuff - go "I am Sub Zero" just for a trailer.
