- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
- The Mortal Kombat franchise is decades-old at this point with multiple sequels, reboots, comic book tie-ins, movie adaptations, and more. As such, there's been a myriad of interpretations of the various super-powered ninjas, monsters, and cyborgs that fight for players' amusement in the games. 2021's Mortal Kombat is no different, offering up new spins on many of the classic fighters of the franchise and adding in the concept of an Arcana power to standardize the various unconnected Kombatants. If you want to know what's been changed without playing through 20 years worth of video games, here's how the Mortal Kombat movie characters differ from the game.

What did you think about the way the Mortal Kombat characters were depicted in the movie?
Wanted kabal to be a good guy and wanted gorro to talk and build him up like they did in the first movie.
Id argue that scorpion is way more popular than sub zero
Easily more popular, he’s practically the face of the franchise!
That's what i thought . Especially Get Over Here
I love sub zero
lol this debate is 30 years old. that even today there is still no answer to it.
who is more popular? scorpion or sub-zero?
Technically both are popular. You can't think of without the other.
Scorpions new look seems more similar to a Samurai than a Ninja, still looks dope regardless
Samurais and ninjas actually dressed in the same fashion historically wise
I love his new look. A mix of updated yet still old fashioned.
Kano in game : just an ordinary character
Kano in movie : The movie itself 🤩
Kano, Scorpion and Sub-Zero were the movie. Everyone else? Meh.
Right? Why was the main character kinda lame compared to a side character?
@Omega1867 you forgot Kabal?? He was 100% game accurate
Cole The character seems like he was written as fan Fiction
Think about it
He was made purely for the movie. Scorpion actor is pretty old and Scorpion is like Batman of MK. The coolest character.
I am assuming the mantle of Scorpion will eventually be passed on to cole. No one's interested in such a lazy character. His power is literally plot armour.
@@gabbar51ngh That's my point hes written like fan fiction
Riders be like
OKI have this original character concept you find outScorpion had a daughter hidden away and protected by Raaiden to ensure the Hazashi Blood line live on So that the descendant Can unite the Earth Realm Champions And fulfil the prophecy
@@gabbar51ngh God that’s my fear that they’re trying to make him the new Scorpion. I really really hope not. I did not like Cole’s character at all.
That or they’re going to keep Scorpion and have him show up like this as fan service only which would really suck too.
Anybody else thinks Goro looks like an alternative version of the Hulk
yooo i was literally thinking about this 😭, I was like wtf, he look a lot like mcu hulk
Hold up. Shoot out blast out of his chest? You comparing my man Kano to Hsu Hao?
Damn i forgot about him until you mentioned him whooooa 😱
I caught that, too..
Shang Tsung doesn't shape shift on the film
Yet...........yet
I was hoping that the same character who played Shang tsung was going to be the same actor who played him in the ‘95 movie
Perhaps get him a cameo in the movie.
hes super old 😂, shang tsung isn't supposed to look old as hell im 💀, he consumes souls to stay lookin fresh , u a real fan?
@@joshuachandler4537 I just thought that the actor from the original movie sounded way more like him. And was a better actor. But you have a point about that whole steal souls/eternal youth thing..
@@joshuachandler4537 I thought consuming souls powered his magick? But it also makes sense that it would keep him young
You forgot Reiko he's a character from Mortal Kombat Gold or 4. He's appearance with glowing blue eyes and black markings on his face and he made a appearance in the movie he's that guy Jax clapped fatality after their fight.
Anyone else get a "Hulk" vibe from Goro?
It was a fun movie, but they should have been more faithful to the source material, and maybe have had an actual tournament
The ending makes me think they want that for a sequel, pretty sure they mention the real tournament is still ahead and then there is the outro.
Personally I liked the movie, its fun like you said and as far as game movies go it could have been far, far worse.
@@treeherder42 Yeah the thought behind this movie I believe it was suppose to show the events that lead up to the tournament
It was a very good movie. I just finished watching it. Big up y’all.
Sub zero and Scorpion was the fight I was waiting for !! Idk bout Kano being the movie ..
Goro looks like angry Mike Tyson 🤔
How can people not know who bi-Han is
I didn't know.... N i am a mk fan
@@littledudefromacrossthestr5755 how? It was the biggest reveal ever
@@ElViperr408 meaning i never really get deep in the mk universe
@@littledudefromacrossthestr5755 makes sense. Later he ended up being noob
@@ElViperr408 yh i realized ty
All these years I knew there had to be some kind of Big Trouble in Little China inspiration somewhere in the game mythology.
4:24 What's that music?
I thought the hat for kung Lao was based more off of the flying guillotine than anything else ? And his fighting style is also based off of wind style martial arts ?
We need the original theme!!
Between the two Mortal Kombat movies in the late 90s and this so called Mortal Kombat reboot, majority of the fans felt like the main protagonist and other Main characters took a huge backseat in this movie, such as Liu Kang and Raiden, so the lead protagonist spot was given to a character named Cole, also another insult is that the character reptile was a bit of a let-down in this movie because he was killed off easily by Kano by having his heart ripped out.
that's Kano's fatality
@@Laxlii i know that, because i used to play the original MK games.
Every review I am watching it sims that misunderstood what Liu Kang said by calling Kung Lao cousin, is more like when you call your best friend "Bro", you are not talking about a blood related brother
@William Hill is Liu kang a descendant of the Great Kung Lao too? I thought that was only for the first Movie
Agree, I believe everyone is a fellow brother in Shaolin
do yall think cole young will be in mk12
I think the MK movie or even a sequel will not be enough to flesh out the characters and allow us fans to truly enjoy them.....MK should have been made into a SERIES...that way the developers can take their time and expand on the characters giving their back story and everything we need about them....just like in the game....a 2hr movie is not enough...we need it in a series...
Who agrees?
Trust me.. if the money is there, they will.
I'm so glad they fixed Scorpion's "Get over here!" In the movie. The first one I heard was weak af. The one that's used now is good.. but I still thought it could have been better. SAY IT WITCHA CHEST!!!
Hi guys I watched this yesterday and it was good but warning it’s super gory 😂
It’s not that bad.
I've seen worse but the movie was okay
@@speeddemon5339 as a parent to a 6 month old baby lol he couldn’t be in the room while this plays. No kid can watch this
@@kayJBayla u do realize kids these days play violent video games like gta 5 , call of duty etc. seeing this type of movie shouldn’t worry a parent. If only they were smart enough to tell their children it’s all fake and that’s it’s an acting job. And your kid is 6 months u really think his going remember this movie? Pretty sure ur kid can’t even walk yet let alone speak words
That's how it should be
How the movie does? Starting with no johnny cage
I hated this version of reiko what were the producers thinking in changing his appearance like that I liked that Cole is related to scorpion and with the appearance of Johnny cage in the next movie I think these movies will also be about legacy 🤔🙂🤯😠😊
Could've sworn Kung Lao and Liu Kang were always related... Liu Kang was just the descendent
Reptile with his tail.
He shot love out of his chest
Loved the movie. But I couldn’t digest the baby Raiden, especially after seeing such charismatic version in MK11
Where is this cole guy from??😡
It was a fun film for Mortal Kombat fans but I thought it went too far away from its source material with 3 major flaws I hated
1: We didn't need a new character in Cole Young in the movie because it's someone we know nothing about and nor did we care about
2: Reptile looked ridiculous, if this movie was based of pre Mortal Kombat (before the tournament) then Reptile should've been in his human form like how his backstory depicted him as
3: Sub-Zero should NOT have been the primary villain, Bi Han was not the one who murdered Hanzo Hasashi's family so he was never a villain in the game, Shang Tsung should've been the main villain
I prefer the 95 shang tsung rather than 21’s shang tsung. It sucks
Didn’t like the new look of Reptile. Wished the stuck with the ninja outfit.
The Original and New of Mortal Kombat movie is that Bi-Han will all be the person that kills scorpions family yes yup and Scorpions will have to get After Quan Chi so yes I love Mortal Kombat movie's and Game's I can't wait of More and a Secret..... but will the be DCL pack 3 and new Story mode need Mortal Kombat 11 or will the release some more old Force and New for the Movie back
Odd Jobs Bowler.
I watched it when it came out it was okay
They’re differences in each game
I was so disappointed that Scorpion only showed up in the beginning and the end. Hopefully he’s featured more in the sequel and NOT have the writers give OC Cole the mantle instead. Sorry but I didn’t like any of the Young family and felt they really weren’t needed.
I really liked this movie it was better than the 1995 mortal kombat movie
I think there are more than enough characters in MK game to get references from. Cole Young is unneeded. His involvement just made the movie irrelevant.
White boy summer...it has begun🧙🏽♂️
no mileena
no kitana in the new movie either! doesn't she and liu kang get marry in the comix?
YO HOW YOU JUST GOING TO NOT MENTION MILEENA? tf
Kano was a black guy in mk1
The movie story line is way off 😔
I absolutely love the new movie and I was a mega MK fanboy back in the day! It seems to have mixed reviews and was intended to get a new generation interested in the MK franchise.
So true kano made the movie
Scorpion is way more popular than Sub-zero
No history in MK, no powers no sense, no need. Cole Young you are the weakest link, goodbye.
Movie was very good
They made Liu Kang look weak as hell
I loved the movie except for one little thing.. Cole Young is not a f**king character in the game! Why is he the lead?!
2021's Mortal Kombat may be a faithfull video game movie?
No.... just no.
its the best
Scorpion IS the most iconic Character !!What are you talking about??????
Mileena and Kitana had always depicted as Asians but Mileena therefore Kitana are now black it is a difference
It was a good video game adaptation. If you’re looking to hate then you’ll hate regardless, just enjoy it, it’s a fun movie
Some people are expecting it to be the next avatar or avengers endgame. Getting their expectations too high.
@@MGSB-u3g please tell me your talking about the other Avatar and not the horrible live action Avatar the last Airbender
I've been playing MK since the first game dropped in Arcades this movie is different from many video game movies usually the problem is the movie will focus so much on the video game part and it will end up bland but this movie was not faithful believe me I can tell plus it's kinda racist
@@King2_15_3 yes ;)
They crapped on MK with this new movie. If you’re going to go crazy with changes, make up your own universe & crap on it. Don’t ruin existing ones. The beginning of the film was great. The rest was garbage
Seriously the writers thought they could put a bunch of Easter eggs and fatalities And think nothing of the lower And think it's good enough it's an insult to the fans MK have a great story
Actually not really if they wouldnt introduced cole to be so important and stayed more true to the games it would have been better. Not saying the scorpion story is trash wit cole bcuz when he came back was my favorite part but making cole have a whole family to take care of puts to much importance to him to live and be a main character when we want to see more true MK characters on screen. Also i wouldnt have a problem wit the movie if they didnt kill off kung Lao by far the best fighter they had n best fighting scenes. I feel like between him n kano they made the movie more interesting. if not it would have been just no comedic scenes or some 1 who embodied the characters as much as they both did. Cole should have died scorpion comes back with the blood of cole and have coles family be some where protected. And away so the story can continue having to be more about the games and not a random character. And again i like the movie its good but it could have been better. I hope MK2 will be
@@mohdsadiq1928 Actually your opinion is the unpopular opinion
@@tonyserrano275 I agree with you call themes like hes created by fan fiction
Ikr
I hated the cole young character...
the movie was garbage, ed boone didnt even bother to speak on the movie
he did actually
Almost every single thing you said in this video was wrong.
LIES
Am I actually the first to comment? Wow. Anyway, I think the main difference between the game and the movie is that the movie sucks and the games are alright. Heh
yeah right movie is the best
@@DJMoth03 idk man, it had its moments, but I was kind of let down overall.
@@DJMoth03 I'm guessing you never watched scorpions revenge the actual best MK movie
Was disappointed...story & characters were off. Plus the fighting scenes were amateurs
None of this video mentions why this movie was so trash though...
Definitely not trash... Pppl expectations just be too high..
@@petter215jones Exactly, fans expect an adaptation of their favorite franchise to be perfect when with something like TMNT and MK they have decades worth of history to cram into a 30 minute per episode tv series or 1-2 hour long movie. Fans can be ungrateful, I've had my fair share of being pissed at a adaptation of something like for example the Sonic movie, it was good but it had a lot left to be desired, I still like it even for its flaws. MK fans seriously being this ungrateful makes me worry for the potential sequels but when you bite the hand that feeds you, karma will happen
Super powers make you good at throwing hats and make you grow robot arms and sprout Tonfa? Great flick but I dont think so that's reaaaaaaaally stupid
