And it looks like Mortal Kombat Annihilation but with a better budget. And we all know that MK: Annihilation sucked Motaro dick.
Johnny Cage is out and instead we have a washed out MMA fighter who will discover his heritage... kinda sounds like a lesser version of Cage, doesn't it?
We get Mech-arm Steve Harvey, Kabal, Mileena, Nitara, but Not Johnny Cage!?
This just shows the lack of understanding of the MK lore. Johnny Cage, who is at times "the comedic relief" is the character who bridges the story and the audience. He's not "The Chosen One" or the "Mystic Ninja seeking revenge". He's the "Average Joe", the "everyman" who is tossed in this fate of the universe fighting tournament.
Before anyone mentions Sonya, remember that she's Army Special Forces chasing a terrorist Cyborg. Johnny Cage is the most Normal guy in MK... not counting Stryjer since he came later, or the whole Cage being descended from a race of warriors trained by the gods BS added in the 3D era. By removing Cage, the people making the movie proved that they don't truly the ESSENCE OF MORTAL KOMBAT.
No Johnny Cage?
