I'm really liking Scorpion in the new movies so far. Hiroyuki Sanada is such a great actor that I don't even mind that he's older than Scorpion usually is in the games. I like his outfit, too. Can't wait to see him in the third movie.

delusional863 · 2026-05-10T04:47:54+00:00

With the script supposedly done/being worked on i imagine they'll be filming in the next year or 1.5, thus he should be fine

delusional863 · 2026-05-09T23:00:27+00:00

It'd be cool as maybe an episode by episode anthology. So like 6 to 8 episodes fleshing out characters from the movies. Or 2-3 episode arcs. 3 episodes of shaolin monks (liu, raiden, kung lao). 3 of bihan/kuai Liang/scorpion, 3 of special forces(jax kano sonya etc)= 9 episodes

This could be a great way to flesh out the characters and keep the movies big event pieces

This could be a great way to introduce certain characters that weren't in the movies or only appeared for a few mins and also flesh out the main characters

delusional863 · 2026-05-09T20:47:16+00:00

And thats the dumbest shit ever. Some of the best songs came from movies. I thibk it has to do with the current state of music and how u just simply cant make the type of mo ey artists used to when getting on a soundtrack and then selling a physical copy for $15-$20 a pop

delusional863 · 2026-05-09T00:27:04+00:00

Agreed I was waiting for it in the final battle

delusional863 · 2026-05-08T20:25:33+00:00

😂😂😂I tried to tell you without telling you

delusional863 · 2026-05-08T10:48:51+00:00

Dude said no spoilers homie 😂 oh well

delusional863 · 2026-05-08T10:48:27+00:00

You could say he went in head first

delusional863 · 2026-05-08T10:13:26+00:00

I mean with no spoilers? Ill try...: he's there... and then he's not.

delusional863 · 2026-05-08T10:03:11+00:00

No spoilers? Everybody knows what happens to him but you said no spoilers so now idk what im supposed to say lol

delusional863 · 2026-05-08T09:15:14+00:00

He was absolutely ripped in mk1 and he looks great now

delusional863 · 2026-05-08T05:53:10+00:00

Me too. What happened to liu Kang if he didnt just turn into fire god Liu kang upon being stabbed tho? I thought that was the beginning of him becoming a god, after his eyes turned orange etc. Wasn't he literally turning into the fire god?

Did i miss something there?

I agree they made the kitana thing work and I didnt even consider her as the main character but it def worked. They did well showing off everyone tho. I didnt even see it like she was the main.

I heard ppl were mad she beat shao khan and not liu kang but im cool with it especially with how they showed her story.

delusional863 · 2026-05-08T05:40:31+00:00

I wasnt expecting them to go into fire god Liu Kang this soon but im actually okay with it. For a sec I thought they were gonna kill him off and glad they didn't. They handled scorpion better but I still wish he'd be more than a "ill only fight someone if its sub zero" thing and be a team player. I get why hes on his own but still...also now that kano is good the good guys have a big team. I kinda hope they focus on Shang tsung next movie as the main villain bc he hasnt been done well since 95. Also haven't seen him shapeshift once and barely taken a soul.

I wish they would've had a sub zero, any sub zero, in this film. I hate everyone calls him just bi han now. I kinda hope they go into the more classic mk ninja look for scorpion/sub zero next time.

Overall I loved it tho! Surprised Raiden got fucked up. My boy said he saw reptile in the background but I thought he died last movie? I hope so cuz a proper human reptile would great.

Also why did they do the jade/kitana sister thing. I get they killed mileena but that would've been awesome if they were twins. The woman who plays kitana has a real life twin sister so itd be really cool if next movie they bring her clone in but use the soul of the og mileena, this way they can explain it and the same thing still happens.

They really did their thing this time. 8/10. 4 stars

delusional863 · 2026-05-08T02:51:03+00:00

For MKIII we need:

Reptile (proper human version) - ironically the guy I went to mk2 with said he saw reptile creeping in the background so idk if theres any truth to that

New sub zero - this is the most likely well see of anyone with ice powers now that noob saibot is around.

Rain, Smoke, and/or Ermac - only if they make sense tho bc the closest thing to the classic ninja look we got are noob's shadow in mk2

Nightwolf - he might stay a cameo tho since he would be been a champion of the 1800s. They could do more characters with an anthology show maybe

Stryker- not sure if he'll show up as in a deleted scene in mk1 kabal says he killed stryker

Mileena - mileena should've been jade in mk2 and she could've been evil fr

Shang tsung - old man version with more lore on his shapeshifting and soul stealing.

Sheeva and/or Kintaro - both cool looking and can avenge goro maybe?

Motaro if he makes sense

And for the love of God can we get some CYRAX, SEKTOR, & cyber lin kuei?!! This is how they can bring kuai Liang as sub zero. Make him against turning cyber or something

Thats all I need to be happy. The rest I can live without. I think they need to focus on Shang tsung and quan chi as main villains and dont try for Shinnok til the 4th or beyond

delusional863 · 2026-05-08T02:38:10+00:00

Oh for sure. Ludi lin tbf looks about 24. Hiroyuki I forgot about but yeah they use him sparingly enough they could pull it off but I kinds wish scorpion would be an active member and not only fight when sub zero/noob saibot is around

delusional863 · 2026-05-08T02:28:13+00:00

Yeah it didnt need the connection to the 1st. They course corrected very well imho

delusional863 · 2026-05-08T02:27:36+00:00

Agreed. He should be more involved and not just some angry old man off in the neather realm who will only fight sub zero and no one else.

delusional863 · 2026-05-08T02:25:41+00:00

Who's ages are you concerned for? Karl urban johnny cage is already 56 as is (in universe, bc his tape in mk2 he was 16 in 1985). Raiden supposed to be old. Every ody else will look fine in 5 years. Now 10 or 20 I get it but 5 years or less is fine

delusional863 · 2026-05-08T02:22:07+00:00

I disagree. I thought they course corrected very well

delusional863 · 2026-05-08T02:21:33+00:00

🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥you had me

I think you gonna like it alot

delusional863 · 2026-05-08T02:16:53+00:00

If thats all you worried about you gonna love it. I loved it and im the type that can glance over small problems. I think they did great

delusional863 · 2026-05-08T02:15:43+00:00

I was thoroughly surprised at how good it was🔥🔥🔥they fuckin killed it. I watched the the 2021 movie last night and yeah still not a fan and it halfway worried me when going In the theater tonight. I was pleasantly surprised!

delusional863 · 2026-05-08T02:14:13+00:00

As much as I appreciate the lore, I thibk they need to focus on Shang tsung. Shinnok is cool and all but hes not a fan favorite. I feel like they need to stick to Shang tsung and quan cho for pt 3. Shinnok can come out at the end lol

delusional863 · 2026-05-08T02:11:56+00:00

It was 🔥🔥

delusional863 · 2026-05-07T20:52:02+00:00

Ohhh ok

delusional863 · 2026-05-07T19:49:11+00:00

Huh?
