Groundskeeper Silly posted:This reminds me of the Tekken movie, which IIRC, sucked because they forgot to make it any fun. MK's lore is inherently more goofy and fun than Tekken's, so that'll be harder to do with this one. Hollismason posted:The Tekken movie cost 50 million dollars to make. This one looks like it has a substantial budget. DC Murderverse posted:Honestly I think $50 million was around the budget they were shooting for with this movie too. That said, effects money probably goes farther in 2020 than 2009 and WB is a much better producer than the people behind Baby Geniuses and Ghost Rider. Add in a cast and writer/director that clearly have fondness for the property and you’ll probably get a much better movie with the same price tag.  Oh my god that casting

Credit to the tekken movie for giving Heihachi his signature hairdoo. That's about all I can say about it however.

He also started calling himself "Noob Saibot;" which probably sounded cooler in his head, and started talking with a super deep Dr. Claw voice.

Lurdiak posted:Yeah once Liu Kang died, Sub Zero 2 became the default hero protagonist of the series. He's a nice boy. Somewhere along the lines they decided to change it to say that Sub-Zero killed Scorpion's family too, and Scorpion was suddenly Japanese in a modern ninja clan in Japan, so I have no idea whether the clans were supposed to be fighting in China or Japan or what. Then they decided Quan Chi killed Scorpion's family while in disguise as Sub-Zero, and that Noob was OG Sub-Zero's ghost. So you'd think it would be a major plot point for Noob to take issue with Quan Chi for framing him and Scorpion for killing him, but yeah, not really.

Honestly I don't see why the idea of Chinese ninjas being a thing is that laughable, given there'd certainly be plenty of demand for their services whether as spies and assassins, guerrilla fighters or mystical superpowered mercenary warriors. And how the whole concept is probably as retroactively invented as the honourable samurai anyway.

Someone calls Sub-Zero a ninja and he just sighs and explains that ninjas are Japanese, the Lin Kuei are Chinese and thus just assassins, not ninjas.

Quan Chi also enjoys needling Sub-Zero about this, as seen in the documentary Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero.

Annihilation is in the "So bad its its hilarious" zone for me. Every scene is a combination of baffling errors and sequences that one can't do anything but laugh. There's that Sindel scene posted earlier, then there's this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYIzYDHekJs This 3 minute sequence is incredibly stupid and only serves as filler. There's no build up to Raiden fighting Sindel, he says he'll fight her and next cut is her blowing him through a wall and now he's fighting 3 Reptiles... I guess? Then he comes to fight an-... wait she's already beaten? What? Superrodan posted:I like to think that The Immortals were given a list of facts about each character and just used them as lyrics. I'd believe it. Rayden's song has the lyrics "The thunder warrior, he has no eyes!". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPSBJcL3FGI

Sadly we probably won't get the line "It wouldn't be hell without Johnny Cage" in this movie. Raiden, when he's a snarky and very put-upon Elder God trying to herd these lunatic sheep known as Mortal Kombat protagonists, can be as fun as complete fuckup Raiden. Really hoping that the Friendships website makes it in. Edit: To explain, one of Cassie's fatalities in X ends with her taking a selfie with the corpse of her victim and posting it to a social media site called Friendships. And people post comments on it. Posters include: Kool&TheKang TakeedaBanana KungJin KenshiFury FanGirl QueenaMileena LadyBug It'sNotAirmac ErronBackInBlack TotalKotal QuanCheesy KanO's YouGotCaged SonyaTheBlade GonzoHanzo ThunderMan Goro MadJax StrykeMeDown ReptileDisfunction SassyJacqui TheRealKungLao AbsoluteSubZero Cythereal fucked around with this message at 22:24 on Feb 25, 2021 |
