I remember seeing the original trailer ages ago, thought it looked pretty cool. Completely different from what MK is normally what with no magic and all but it still looked better than the last movie at least. Didn't know they'd actually started work on the series until now. I quite like it to be honest. It's an interesting take on the MK universe and it gives the characters some actual personality for once.

Of course it looks like they've thrown the magic back in at the end of ep 3, which would indicate there's more going on than has been seen so far, which offers a lot of potential for the future.

I'd be interested in seeing where they take this next.

Full Story:

Director accidently made available the trailer that rebooted the MK series to Warner Bros.

It EXPLODED.

Warner Bros grants a 9 webisode series which allows Jeri Ryan to play Sonya Blade, Johnny Cage to be expanded upon, etc.

The "magic" in the series is diagnosed with a ton of reality. Less fireballs and voodoo, more gritty realism. So Baraka is just a crazed doctor, not an outworlder. Katana is probably an assassin's daughter, and Scorpion is still a killer for hire, just not dead yet.

All of this leads into the movie. If it looks THIS good, I'm paying for it. PERIOD.

I skimmed through the first cuople of episodes. It was a cop show. What the shit it is.

Smarty, they started with Jax and Sonya. Those are the only cops. They just introduced magic and Shang Tsung. It can only get better.

Why fuck around for 2 episodes with some shitty cop showl? If I have to watch like 20 episodes before you get to Mortal Kombat why would I bother watching?
Like if they actually make it about Mortal Kombat then maybe I'll check those episodes out but I se eno reason to care about the episodes as they are now.

Well, Jax is pretty brutal for a cop. He punched Kano's eye out so that he needs to wear the masks he was selling.

Then we're going to get into all of the other characters. Quite frankly, they really are boring in the normal universe, with all of this leading up to the movie. Mainly, this is showing the characters so you get a feel for the world and its grittiness. And quite franklky it's a pretty crapsack world if Baraka is a mass murdering doctor who mutilated himself.
