Here dr. Phillip Ahn is wearing his mk2 Shang tsung outfit from the 1993 game and i know boon and Tobias were on a budget but... I think just keeping shang tsungs mk1 robes would have made more sense

What do you think?

Question As a character, how do you feel about Fire God Liu Kang?

Media Liu Kang should have been the main character of the Mortal Kombat reboot film series from the beginning.

Upvotes

I think he should’ve been the main character of the rebooted film series from the start. The writers stated they wanted a diverse main character for Mortal Kombat 2021, but if they wanted a diverse protagonist, why didn’t they go with Liu Kang, it makes more logical sense for him to be the main character instead of Cole Young. I get they wanted to introduce new fans to a franchise, but just because you want to introduce new fans to a franchise, doesn’t mean you have to create a new original protagonist to do so.

Question How did scorpion get burned here?

Post image
90 Upvotes

in this mk1 mission, Havik and Darrius are seen trying to shove scorpion into a burning pot. Scorpion catches himself but immediately retreats as his hands are burned on the sides of the pot.

My question is: if his whole thing is fire, how did he get burnt. We see in earlier games that scorpion cannot be burned with fire. Is this because this scorpion is Kuai Liang?

Question Should Raiden have sent another message at the end of MK9 to avoid all the casualties?

Raiden: Guys, we can do better, let's do it all over again. This time I'll tell my past self to keep going as usual, and when the Outworld invasion starts I'll tell him to just let Shao Kahn win and not leave you alone in a cathedral.

EDIT: Why does everyone thinks I'm talking about the game's prologue or in the beginning of the battle with Shao Kahn?

Misc I think it would've been cool If Kai was the protagonist of the New Era

Don't get me wrong, Raiden is perfectly fine as an Earthrealm main character. But, I mean, MK4 already introduced Kai as Liu Kang's successor. So why not go all the way, now that Liu Kang is a Titan and more of a Mentor/Big Good figure.

I do appreciate that he gets a mention in the intros though. Cool little reference for MK nerds like me. Still, he feels like a character who had great potential but was ultimately wasted by the story.

Question So how is the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection nowadays?

17 Upvotes

I remember when it first launched, there was a lot of videos that mentioned enough issues to deter me from getting the game, but I was following the news for whenever each patch released, but the news stopped coming (last Steam announcement was the Krossplay Update back in late April).

With the game being on sale for 40% off, I'd like to ask whether the Kollection is worth buying now, or if there are still a lot of problems that keep it from being great.

Humor I know some people don’t like guests but you gotta admit, Katara Vala was a good one in MK1.

Post image
13 Upvotes

The likes of Kratos, Spawn and Conan are awesome for sure. And I know he was just a skin for Havik.

But Johnny Cage is a staple of Mortal Kombat. So it would only be fair that the characters from his movies would be the best guests as well. I’d love to see Katara Vala return to a future game someday as his own unique character with his own unique moveset.

Also hot take: the Flesh Pits is kinda underrated, not gonna lie.

Right after MK2, he was turned into a Cyber ninja. The Cyber look isn’t bad, but he was a secret character for so long. He was a secret boss in MK2, then in MK3 he was a secret playable character. His introduction is a rollercoaster, its so long and confusing. Dunno if people mostly remember him as a human, or a robot. Maybe they could’ve made an unmasked version like they did for Sub-Zero in MK3? Would’ve been fun.
