Kinda sux. The 90s version was wayyyy better. I remember watching the original several times in theaters coz that's how fun the 90s movie was. The Mortal Kombat theme song was hype, and they teased that song all throughout the 2021 movie, but don't finally play it until the credits, when I'm already bored as fuck with the movie. 2021's fight scenes are shot like a Liam Neeson movie, which is a terrible way to shoot fightscenes, for a martial arts film.
The 90s MK movie actually follows a journey of characters from start to finish, with the stakes gradually increasing until it ends with Shao Kahn.
2021 MK ends with a Johnny Cage poster, lol.
The 2021 version opens up with scenes of extreme violence and then the rest of the movie feels like forgettable exposition with fighting in between, just because it's a fighting gam- wait it's a movie but it's a movie that's paced like a fighting game story mode, and it doesn't even have the MK tournament AYY LMAO!
(MK X didn't either. I never even played MK XI so who knows with that one.)
It's just not a good movie, only gamers would love MK 2021, because it feels like a youtube collection of movie cutscenes.
It's the same exact story telling style. Zero plot, all exposition, some fights.


Every one makes fun of how terrible DC movies are, but I had way more fun with Superman vs Batman, and I fucking hated that depressing ass movie. It actually had a plot though. I bring up DC Movies, coz DC Movies have the same dark, & gritty vibe that Mortal Kombat has.

MK movie is in a weird place, coz I can see why vidya gaem fans love it and pretend that it's a good movie, but I can also see why normal movie aficionados either hate it, or are indifferent to the new MK movie.
The problem is that 2021 MK has the same exact story direction as the MK 9-11 cutscenes, but made as a movie with real actors. So you get this really boring story where everyone is speaking exposition and then they find the lamest reasons to start a fight, and then the fights end in extremely gory MK 11 style fatalities that will turn off nearly 100% of the audience who weren't already MK fans. The excessive violence just seems to come out of nowhere coz there's no build up to the violence. One second you're laughing at how they're fighting for no reason (just like the vidya games.) the next second you're like ok, when you see the excessive Rambo 4 style violence.

I was roaring & hollering fuck yeah when Rambo was turning everyone into meat pinatas, but that's coz we just went through an entire movie where the Burmese military were brutally massacring innocent civvies, so it feels like a righteous comeuppance. Only the bad guys have fatalities done on them in Mortal Kombat, but none of them ever get established as a threat (except Sub-Zero who rips Jax's arms off.) to make the fatalities feel as though they were deserved.

They really done Nitara dirty (she's my fave MK woman.)

The fact that the movie fatalities actually have fans really shows to you how mentally under-developed, gamers are lol. It felt like friggin porn coz there's no build up to the gore.
, https://www.fightersgeneration.com/char ... itara.html
while she was nowhere near as hot as her in-game counterpart, she looked passable especially when compared to how ugly all of the women are in MK 11.
Movie-Nitara wears skin tight leather clothes, instead of a bikini thong & bandana.
It was hilarious how Shang was building Nitara up to be this huge threat, but Kung Lao just one hit ko's her and cuts her entire body in half. (Even Goro just gets ripped apart like he was nothing and he's like 10 feet tall in this movie.)
I was watching it with a few others at an in-home theater set-up, and one by one everyone kept leaving coz of the gore, AYY LMAO! Nitara's death was what really got people walking coz of how detailed her gore & skeleton was, probably coz she's attractive and you wouldn't expect someone attractive to die that gruesome a death.

My pops and I were the only two still watching the shitty movie. Which really shows to me why video games have such a hard time being properly made into a watchable movie.
The excessive violence just doesn't work in a movie setting, coz MK doesn't have a real plot. MK just has mythos.
The movie seemed like it was going to be good when it starts, coz the outworld scenes reminded me a lot of the un-used Darkseid scenes from the Justice League movie.


Mortal Kombat showed promise at first coz it starts out like a horror movie with a family being chased by Sub-Zero. Sub-Zero acted as a horror monster and he was killing anyone who got in his way, including hundreds of civilians. They make Sub-Zero seem ultra powerful. Jax had to stay behind to hold Sub-Zero back.
Then we see badass scenes of outworld with Shang Tsung and his crew looking badass.
Mileena is Black for some reason, but her acting is so good that it doesn't matter. She's not sexy like OG Mileena, but she does a good job of acting like a feral monster.
The outworld scenes don't lead up to anywhere though, since the entire movie takes place at a training facility where Liu Kang & Kung Lao act as teachers.

These two Shaolin motherfuckers looked cool and you could've built a movie around them. I don't see why they didn't.
I can't see why they couldn't have just used Johnny Cage, who for some reason is teased as sequel-bait, lol. Do people really love Johnny that much? When I was a kid, he was always a joke, and that's why it was hilarious that he was one of the only survivors (who survived plenty of fake-out deaths.) of Mortal Kombat 9.
Out of the characters they actually used, Kano would've been the best to use as a main character, coz he's the only one who would've had a full character arc, starting with his journey as a crimeboss to eventually becoming the hero that nobody wanted, but the hero that you deserve.
Kano was the only character I actually liked, he's also the only bad guy who didn't die.
Kano & Kabal were both really cool, too bad Kabal got eaten by Liu Kang's Dragon-shaped fireball. Kabal gave off a Deadpool vibe, and holy shit a movie with Kano & Kabal as the main characters would've been gold.



It wasn't the most horrible film by any means. It just felt like I was watching a collection of cutscenes from the video games.
There's zero character arcs. Kano could've had a character arc, since it seemed like they were turning him from a badguy into a reformed anti-hero but he just betrays everyone and then gets his ass kicked by Sonya.
Not a single character has a story, except for the guy no one cares about, Cole Young.
Spoilers: He's Scorpion's descendent. Scorpion is played by Hiroyuki Sanada (So that's why he wasn't in Godzila vs Kong, lol. Sanada is usually the 2nd go-to Jap guy after Ken Watanabe, although Crow's Zero guy was a good choice.)
Scorpion is hilarious coz he only speaks Japanese, but Sub Zero is Chinese, Scorpion just speaks to everyone in Jap anyway, lol. I guess it's like the Tekken games where everyone just magically understands what everyone is saying, regardless of how many different languages are spoken.
Sub-Zero & Scorpion are the only two who have a decent fight scene, with little to no cut-aways, but it's ruined by Cole who jumps in to team up against Sub-Zero.



The actors for the MK movie where all pretty attractive. (Unlike MK11, where every single woman looks like a dude.) I actually thought Sonya Blade's actress was hot (way hotter than the Sonya from the 90s movie), and she hasn't been hot in the games since MK Armageddon.
Cole Young seems to only be casted to have an attractive leading Asian man in the cast. He looked huge, like a real life Jin Kazama. My mom thought he was pretty hot, but apparently not hot enough to build a movie around. He has zero charisma.
I was actually shocked that the movie didn't treat Sonya Blade like a superwoman, Liu Kang & Kung Lao actually stuck to oriental traditions, and didn't even allow her to train with them. They came up with some stupid reason, she didn't have an "Arcana", which is a dragon mark that one needs to earn super powers.
Seriously, the plot is really stupid, like a little kid's tv show, which is why it's weird that it's so damn violent.

The plot is dumb enough that only a kid could actually enjoy the writing but the violence is way worse than most horror movies, which is why MK is in this weird limbo.
I don't even understand why it's labeled as a success when it barely made back its 55 million budget.
The extremely low-budget 90s version with the corny Power Ranger's combat was way better coz only Liu Kang played the role of boring ass hero, whereas you have 5 or 6 (Cole Young, Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Raiden, Sonya, Jax ) characters playing the boring stoic lead in MK2021.
As a movie, the 90s version felt more like an epic adv.


This thread is a redo of the Muh Representation thread. Since nobody fucking replied, I fucking deleted it. Just saying, coz Xed gets annoyed when I delete my own threads. I ain't gonna fucking write a blog post if nobody is replying.

In reply to some quotes I originally wrote.

Asian-Americans be so fucking goofy that they complain about how Raiden from the original Mortal Kombat movie was casted as a charismatic White guy. I never noticed that Raiden was supposed to be Asian, LOL! I just thought he were a Thunder God, which had no basis on any ethnicity within the context of the MK setting.
Sure, Raiden has a Japanese name (which isn't even pronounced like a Japanese name, AYY LMAO!), but he's dressed like a Vietnamese farmer, and looks like he stepped right out of a Chinese kung-fu movie.

Holy shit, the Highlander Raiden from the 90s MK was way more entertaining. Funny how modern Americans are so woke, that they'd erase Christopher Lambert's role as Raiden, when chances are, he was the only reason that most adults bothered to watch the original MK. Lambert is funny & entertaining as fuck.
The Asian Raiden from the 2021 movie acts more like his in-game counterpart, but it's just boring.
What made the game Raiden work, is that he was this imposing 7 ft tall God of Lightning.
Movie Raiden is played by the Ichi the Killer actor. I honestly had no idea it was Tadanabo Asano, coz his English is so damn fluent. He sounds like an American, Asano sounds exactly like how Raiden speaks in the vidya games. S
Which sure, if you're looking for an exact game conversion, made into a movie. You'll prob get a kick out of it. I just though Raiden was boring & dour, especially since it's Tadanabo Asano, the guy who used to portray insanely animated killers.
Kuai Lang isn't in the movie, so I made an ignorant comment in the original thread about how they gook-washed Sub-Zero's race. Bi-Han, the original Sub-Zero was always Chinese though. It's his MK2 successor who was Half-White, Half-Chinese.
Kung Lao's actor is half white, chinese but you won't notice until you see his epic chin. A chin that Antonio Inoki would be proud of.

I think this comment I wrote is still relevant.

You Gook-Americans do realize that Mortal Kombat has always been an American pastiche of Asian kung fu movies right? There's nothing authentically Asian about MK, and I don't think it needs to be.
That's what always made Mortal Kombat so awesome to me, it was this American project that's so influenced by Asian culture that they made Asian cultures into their own very weird, very Americanized thing that resembles American comic books far more than it does the works of the country & regions that they were paying homage to.
Japanese people do that all the time with American culture, but most Americans usually love it when Japan does that, like with Resident Evil. Although personally I preferred the Resident Evil that imitated Hollywood and filled the games with supermodels. Modern Resident Evil fucking sucks coz it's filled with ugly ass Americans.
Goddamn it, the reason why I play videogames is to get away from ugly ass Americans, and now you're forcing ugly generic American people into japanese games? lol

At the same time, I can see why Asian Americans who probably weren't alive back in the 80s & 90s, would be so proud over this piece of shit movie. It is the first American movie that I've seen in a long time where nearly every single role is played by a macho-looking Oriental man. Some of these guys looked legit tough like Hiroyuki Sanada (no shock there.) or the dude who played Kung Lao.

Still though, the movie does come off like an American-pastiche. I'm not sure how well it'll do in Asia, and especially Japan, even with Hiroyuki Sanada & Tadanabo Asano playing fairly major roles in the movie.
Kung Lao is so 'asian', he uses his lefthand to eat with chopsticks.
I do the same thing too, or at least I used to. Till I realized that Koreans & Japs are laughing at me, regardless of how well I can eat with chopsticks. It's why I only use fork, spoon & knife now. Fuck your sticks.
In Gook culture, they assume that everyone wipes their shit with their left hand so they're automatically thinking that you're eating with the same hand that you just shitted on or something.
It's another one of the millions of examples where Gooks just do things a certain way, coz everyone else does.
It's also why I don't see MK 2021 doing well in Asia at all, it's the small inconsequential things (such as the way they use chop sticks.) that Gooks from Asia will just look at, as if it's weird or inauthentic due to different cultural norms.
That's why I say it's best to think of Mortal Kombat as an American tributary pastiche of Asian culture.

Note: This was originally a thread about Shang Chi & Mortal Kombat, and how I found it amusing that Asian Americans are so fucking clueless about how the average Asian from Asia views themselves. Asians from Asia would actually be disgusted by the Pan-Asian messages of Asian-American movies & I find it hilarious that that's exactly what happened.)
____
LOL Shang Chi is banned in China, coz Akwafina is ugly as fuck.

I've met plenty of Koreans. I ain't never seen one who look like her. Lemme rephrase that, you do see people who look like Akwauglyna in Asia, but they're just viewed as ugly. Americans find her attractive for some reason, lol.
America does a really great job at finding the most uniquely ugly people, and then trying to force them as celebrities, AYY LMAO@


Well, Chyna thought that all of the gooks in the movie were ugly as hell, and they hated how it came off like propaganda against Nationalism. Which was exactly what I was saying in the Mortal Kombat thread about how using Asian Americans, to represent Asians from Asia, just offends the fuck out of Asian-natives coz Asians actually have their own culture. We don't exactly want to see Americanized Gooks quoting Malcolm X when they should be citing Kongming or Mishima instead.

It's really easy to tell the difference between an Asian national & an Asian American, coz most of the time, the American of Asian descent, behaves in a way that makes it obvious they weren't raised in Asia at all.
The American Asian emphasizes way too much that they're asian by highlighting Asian-stereotypes based off of an American perspective. This is what often leads up to Asian-Americans either being a bunch of Wannabe White Amber Crombie Yuppies, or wannabe Black Urban Ghetto Hoodrats. (Ghetto Hoodrat itself being a stereotypically American stereotype of Blacks.)

Whereas an Asian from Asia, already views themselves as normal or the default. Which to an Americans' perspective, gives the American the impression that the Asian is trying to be 'White'. Americans aren't accustomed to power-dynamics in foreign countries. They seem to believe that White is considered the default everywhere when it's actually the opposite distinction in the developed Asian countries. Not that China is developed, but they're obviously proud enough of their race that they views Huwites as beneath them.

>Reasons cited include:

>PRC portrayed in negative/unflattering light
>Shang-Chi saves the Chinese through power of "degenerate, corrupting American influence"
>Shang-Chi raves about freedom and putting personal desires before bloodline and nation
>images of soldiers sealed in ancient temples seen as analogous to Uighurs in reeducation camps
>actors deemed 'deliberately unattractive'
>one CCP media official reportedly asked why "cigar frog" (Awkwafina) is the supporting female character, in reference her signature prominent mouth and husky voice
>Another official noted Villeneuve's Dune has been approved for screening, with its skilled, pragmatic hero and overall message of loyalty to one's people and ultimate triumph through adversity against a treacherous enemy deemed "positive for today's youth"

I don't get along with China. The Chinese people do not like me at all, (I get along with the girls, but that's different. It's similar to how most White dudes get along well with Asian girls, it doesn't mean that the culture itself likes you.)
but from what I know about Asian people due to living within their communities for most of my like is that, Gooks from Asia are extremely nationalistic. So I expected Chyna to react the way they did. THey didn't like that fat Star Wars Lady-gook either, and they also called her fat & ulgy, lol. Americans think that Tico Rose is hot though.
POINT AND LAUGH AT AMERICA! THey keep trying push fat ugly Asians, when the average Asian isn't even fat.
Well I dunno, I guess Asian Americans are fat. I have no idea coz although WA state is friggin invaded by Asians, most of us here are directly from Asia so most Asians I've met in WA state, are Model-tier thin and shit. They have the Mika Nakashima physique.

LOL, this comment is just full of shit. Reeks of a Liberal White boy, or a very White-washed gook, trying their hardest to pretend that they're oppressed.
https://www.indiewire.com/2021/05/etern ... 234636967/

Variety also reports that lots of backlash against “Shang-Chi” on Weibo has to do with the physical appearance of actors Simu Liu and Awkwafina: “Many online commenters have slammed Liu and Awkwafina for not meeting the typical thin-chinned, high-nosed, pale-skinned, double eye-lidded standards of ideal Chinese beauty. In one of the most toxic arguments of all, many say Marvel cast them in lead roles because the studio ‘discriminates against Chinese people’s appearance.'”

Awkwafina looks like a fucking alien.

She's not exactly the typical Asian you'd normally see in Asia. She looks like a La creatura, that's exclusive to the USA. Chinese people think Akwafina is ugly, because you honestly no one who looks like that in Asian tv. (I assume so, coz I know this is true of Korea & Japan.)
It has nothing to do with her not looking "White" enough. She's just fucking ugly, so ugly only an American could love the way Akwafina looks, lol.
That's such a typical American perspective, to always blame everything on White oppression. As if the Chinese & Japanese didn't slaughters millions of indigenous people within their own countries. Damn near everything that White people are villainized for, China did it too, way before they ever met a Round Eye Huwite man.
Americans seem to believe that Reverse-Weeabos exist.

A far better example of what's commonly accepted as attractive within the Asian region is Mika Nakashima.

I'm not saying that she's the standard (I Fucking luv Mika! She has yakuza tattoos on her ass, painted on her by a yakooza tat artist, I had it posted up on facefuck somewhere.), it's just that she's more of the middle-ground position on what's considered hot within the entirety of the NorthEast Asia region. She's not the ideal, but most of us can recognize that she's extremely attractive.
I state this, coz American Lefties are trying to claim that Commie Chinks are reverse-racists who are too mindwashed by American beauty standards. Which again makes no fucking sense, coz what's traditionally considered attractive in the USA, is a dark orange tan with Blonde hair, which is an Italian look, AYY LMAO!
I think Hyuna

is the much more universally accepted idealized standards of beauty within Asia, who does look White, but again I don't see how it conforms with American standards of beauty since she still looks like a porcelain doll which is the look that gooks have traditionally tried to conform with.

Americans at least back before they became retarded, generally had a much more swarthy ideal of beauty like Pamela Anderson or Cindy Crawford.

Christina Aguilera & Paula Abdul are other great examples of what was considered hot in the USA.


I don't know what's labeled as attractive in the USA any more, if they actually think Akwafina is hot lol. I think they only like Trannies & obese fat girls.

Namie Amuro was a sex icon in Japan, and I think she looks the most American out of the Asian celebs I've seen. She looks like a hybrid between Paula Abdul & Aaliyah. Aaliyah herself would've been an icon of American beauty had she not died so young. Selena too.


She has the dark tan skin, and is even half-Italian. The quintessential "American" look that the USA used to have from the late 70s all the way up to the early 2010s was a swarthy Italian appearance.


I don't know shit bout China's modern culture, but I know enough about Asians in general to know firsthand, that they don't give a single fuck about Whites. They think about Whites, the same way that Whites think about Asians (Well Asian women anyway, since no one gives a shit about Azn doods lol.)
They'll view you as good fuckmeat, but nothing more than that.
These actors aren't being hated on for not being 'White' enough, It's because the actors really don't look or act like Asians from Asia, but they're pretending to be Asians from Asia. Mortal Kombat has the same fucking problem. I can guarantee you that if Lucy Liu were still in her prime, and they casted her, she'd get dogged on too, because she has freckles, which is generally viewed as a White trait. A lot of distinctly White traits such as freckles or long big noses are frowned upon amongst the insectoid hive-mind peoples.

Yet you motherfuckers are trying to claim that the Communist Chinese are wannabe WHite, AYY LMAO!
Does this Chink honestly look like she's trying to be White?

As I established earlier, American Beauty standards don't even revolve around pale white skin to begin with.
Audrey Hepburn is the only celeb I can think of who does match the criteria that Lefty's constantly cite, but Audry isn't even American. OMG no wonder, kinda liek how they always talk about Hitler, who's not American either, and never had anything to do with the USA.

This big booty chink has pale skin, coz that was always the beauty standard within Asia since the B.C. era. The most you could say is that Korea & Japan are so highly influenced by China that they, themselves have adopted Chinese-cultural norms because all 3 nations have always prized pale-skinned women. (Yes I've seen Miss Japan 2021 who is the exact opposite, and no I don't believe she looks anything Japanese at all. Looks like a balding Black American. That's just ZOG inserting it dick up Japan's ass. Miss Spain does me proud, and looks 100% Spanish.)
Although all 3 East-Asian cultures prize pale-skin as a mark of beauty within women,
(I specify women coz in Japan, tanned men are generally viewed as more attractive. Although it has changed in recent years to conform with Korean-pop standards. The avg Jap dude I see these days looks like a girl.)
overall, the Asian standard of beauty revolves around being feminine.

This is why I hate the American Left so much, they're so retarded that they force me to defend retards that I don't want to defend, like Trump or the Chinese CCP, coz the shit that the American Left believes are just so stuck inside of a bubble, that it's completely alien to the reality of the rest of the planet.

[Cat]

"Mortal Kombat" and everything of it's kind ("Duke Nukem" and so on) is atrocious filth, especially in their original forms. Naturally, I've never played any of them.
Your thoughts on Asian phenotypes and sexual appetites, however, are valuable.
I think your average Joe American still likes the same "Supermodel" "Playboy" etc. types that they did in the '80s, except with fatter asses, tits and stomachs. Default taste plus consequences of general civilizational trajectory towards the commune.
In this sense, the "beauty standards" one is fed by the media actually are certainly indulging baser, cthonic, organic preference.
Except for all the weird transhumanist shit, the maimed, etc.
That's the ideology of the tastemakers at work.
