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.

I think it was the explosion that took Kano's eye, Jax just tenderized the area.

Nah, Jax was pissed off...

Hey, Helo is playing Stryker! Good enough reason to watch, I suppose.

BTW Smarty I have only watched the first webisode and I can safely say this seems like much more than a cop show? They raid a robot factory Kano is running and his flunkies attack with energy weapons, it seems fairly science fiction-y.

Striker?

EDIT Okay, yeah, I see the flaw in my reasoning.

Well, episode 4 is now out and you can kiss goodbye to it being a "normal" real world cop show/sci fi series. Full blown fantasy elements are now back in place.

This one also basically throws the original Rebirth trailer out the window and starts over from scratch too.

Looks pretty good, but I'm never gonna be satisfied with any Johnny Cage that isn't the original movie's Johnny Cage.

Well, I'm confused as all hell. First they were following a "real world" story, then they're going back to the first two games. But this ep was boring to say the least. It was nothing more than backstory and I could read the 2nd game for that.

The only thing I really saw in the original that I was digging was the focus on Scorpion as the protagonist instead of say, Liu Kang. Plus GRITTY REALISM but it still seemed to kind of have that, even with the magic, robots, lasers...

Bearing in mind that these 12 episodes are only supposed to be the prequel to the actual film they're doing. So really all this right now is just background building for the characters and the world, to save having to exposition everyone and everything during the full movie.
