Speaker 1: The Frames per Second Podcast.
Speaker 2: All right, welcome to another episode of the Firm Second Podcast.
Speaker 2: I'm here for the evening.
Speaker 3: My name is Mike, and with me I have Kenla.
Speaker 2: Also I have Spike what Up? And also I have
Speaker 2: Rod What's Up?
Speaker 3: And y'all might hear punkast Doc pop on here every
Speaker 3: once in a while, but ignore his ass because he'll
Speaker 3: know ship because today we talk about some real ship
Speaker 3: mortal Mortal Combat too. I'm gonna go ahead and get the
Speaker 3: worst opinion out of the way.
Speaker 2: Spike, what did you think? I'm Mortal Combat too?
Speaker 1: And I thought they was troubling me bro crazy, Like
Speaker 1: why did Butcher act like this? Like why was it
Speaker 1: so over acting?
Speaker 2: Is that things like.
Speaker 1: I don't know that I saw? They almost piqued my interest.
Speaker 4: Katana's story was interesting, Like with the Dad, I thought
Speaker 4: all of that stuff at the beginning, it was cool.
Speaker 4: I didn't know anything about this world. I just, like
Speaker 4: Dayla said, I picked the characters that I played more
Speaker 4: to combat. I didn't know any lord to it. Okay,
Speaker 4: so to see some of this was actually cool. To
Speaker 4: know the thing about the tournament and all of that that, like,
Speaker 4: it was actually cool. But I just feel like the
Speaker 4: acting was so bad, like and they were trying to
Speaker 4: do it.
Speaker 1: I feel like they were trolling us, like it was
Speaker 1: a skin or some shit, like it was wild. So
Speaker 1: now I could have done my whole life but never
Speaker 1: seeing it.
Speaker 4: And then somebody had to nervous say, oh, you got
Speaker 4: to see the rest of them, Rob, I'm never watching
Speaker 4: water come back again in my life.
Speaker 2: You damn.
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 2: Well Rod?
Speaker 5: You agree him?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 5: I agree? I mean you're going, what were you expecting
Speaker 5: when you went to this movie? So you've never seen that, So.
Speaker 1: I didn't know what to expect, to be honest with you,
Speaker 1: that was the thing.
Speaker 4: And what I had a hard time coming to Grips
Speaker 4: where Rod was like just the tone.
Speaker 1: Of the movie.
Speaker 5: It was throwing me, August.
Speaker 4: I couldn't understand that they were trying to be serious
Speaker 4: and they were like trolling.
Speaker 1: I didn't make me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I go into these movies.
Speaker 6: Knowing what to expect, man, honestly, Like it's and I
Speaker 6: think I said this somewhere else, like with this Water
Speaker 6: Coombat storyline, it's hard.
Speaker 5: To not be corny in moments.
Speaker 6: It's just it's just it's hard not to be with
Speaker 6: all these all these movies, Street Fighters, all of these
Speaker 6: like it's gonna be corny because it's corny story. Yeah,
Speaker 6: I think these games came out like there, whether it's
Speaker 6: eighties not like nineties, like early late eighties not early nineties.
Speaker 6: Like this, it was corny, like the stuff that was
Speaker 6: happening was corny, but you you fell in love with it,
Speaker 6: you submitted to.
Speaker 5: It even more to come at When I first saw
Speaker 5: it as a game, I was like, what the hell
Speaker 5: is this? It looked it looks stupid, But then over
Speaker 5: time it just became this cult classic and.
Speaker 6: But nah, yeah, I like I like how it doesn't
Speaker 6: always take itself seriously.
Speaker 5: I mean I think if it did, I would probably
Speaker 5: hate it.
Speaker 6: But because they don't take it that seriously, I actually
Speaker 6: have a little fun with it or whatever.
Speaker 5: And it's you know, there's some.
Speaker 6: Nostalgia there too, when you see certain characters, there's certain.
Speaker 5: Moves and all that type of stuff. So yeah, man,
Speaker 5: I thought I thought it was a fun time.
Speaker 6: Honestly, I'm not saying it's a great movie and everybody
Speaker 6: should go see it.
Speaker 5: I'm just saying that, you know, I knew what I
Speaker 5: was going into, and.
Speaker 2: I kind of had fun with it, Ken, did you
Speaker 2: have fun with it?
Speaker 1: I enjoyed a lot of the fighting.
Speaker 7: I had to dismiss the story and just look at
Speaker 7: the attempt at writing the story, you know, for what
Speaker 7: you know kind of what maybe what what Rob was
Speaker 7: saying is that, you know, it's I think they're they're
Speaker 7: trying to make up stuff in between, Like these guys
Speaker 7: have backstories, but now they're trying to really connect all
Speaker 7: of this stuff together in a way that makes sense
Speaker 7: for a viewing audience, but it's also fans service for
Speaker 7: people that played the game as well. You get a
Speaker 7: chance to see these guys you grew up playing, you know,
Speaker 7: on screen, similar to like five Night at Freddy's and
Speaker 7: another horror movie that I watched that I thought was awful,
Speaker 7: but people that played the game thought it was great.
Speaker 7: I can't think of the name of it, but I
Speaker 7: watched the last last last year about some dudes stuck
Speaker 7: in some blood.
Speaker 1: Or something like that, but I can't remember what it was,
Speaker 1: but yeah, it was weird.
Speaker 7: He was in a ship and he was surrounded by
Speaker 7: or being attacked by some blood or something.
Speaker 1: I look up the name.
Speaker 7: But but you know, I think they did a good
Speaker 7: job of just getting straight.
Speaker 1: To the fighting and that was that.
Speaker 7: So but I am with with Spike on Johnny Gage's character.
Speaker 1: His character was it's weird to me. But outside of that,
Speaker 1: I thought it was I thought it was fine. I
Speaker 1: didn't really expect much going into this.
Speaker 3: Out Uh oh, Jalen, are you here to say, Oh,
Speaker 3: that's not Jalen, that's Spikes with a camera. I'm with
Speaker 3: Rod like so, I put these movies in the same
Speaker 3: category as I put those Transformers movies. They're fucking terrible.
Speaker 3: They are absolutely terrible, but I have a great time.
Speaker 3: I knew exactly what to expect with this movie because
Speaker 3: I just rewatch the first one and was reminded of
Speaker 3: how much I enjoyed it.
Speaker 2: It's a good time.
Speaker 3: I think that they have no other choice but to
Speaker 3: make these kind of stupid and hoki because you're you can't.
Speaker 3: If they tried to make it serious, it would be
Speaker 3: fucking terrible. It would be terrible and not even enjoyable.
Speaker 3: So I had a good time.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 3: From the second I sat down, I was like, Okay,
Speaker 3: I'm back in this world, and this is fun.
Speaker 4: I agree with If I had known that going into it,
Speaker 4: like stupid and hokey. Then I would have been a
Speaker 4: lot less judgmental of it. Like it's like going in
Speaker 4: a scary movement and thinking you're gonna see, like a
Speaker 4: horror movie, what is going on? So that's what it
Speaker 4: was like for me because this is my first time
Speaker 4: seeing the more of combat move.
Speaker 2: Well, there's not a lot to break down here, so
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna run through this. So it starts off
Speaker 2: where we meet King Gerard, we meet his daughter Katana,
Speaker 2: and his wife Sindel. I can't remember if it's Sindel
Speaker 2: or Sindhel.
Speaker 3: Either way, he's the ruler of Edenia, and it turns
Speaker 3: out that he's the final piece that Shall Khan, the
Speaker 3: infraor of outworlds fight, needs to rule. Okay, so Girard
Speaker 3: has to fight Shao Khan in mortal combat.
Speaker 2: So what did you think of this fight between?
Speaker 4: This reminded me of a game of y you knew
Speaker 4: Spider Verse fight exactly.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: They played all of the notes of the Viper versus
Speaker 4: the Mountain in the sense of he getting beat up.
Speaker 4: He's a smaller dude, he's faster, and he started to
Speaker 4: get the advantage and then it's like, bro, come on,
Speaker 4: start playing with me. I'm gonna bash your eyeballs in
Speaker 4: through the back of your head. But I thought they
Speaker 4: did it well. At this point in the movie, I'm interested.
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, it's backstory to more to combat. I
Speaker 4: never knew that this is interesting to me. Like They're
Speaker 4: gonna dive deeper into this. I'm gonna get more of
Speaker 4: this and.
Speaker 3: Then psych all right, Ken, what'd you think of the fight?
Speaker 7: I enjoyed the first fight, you know, And like I said,
Speaker 7: like you, we're here to see fighting, you know, and
Speaker 7: that's that's what we want to see. And for them
Speaker 7: to come out the gates. I knew once I found
Speaker 7: out it was Katana Yell. Everybody knew it was a wrap.
Speaker 7: There's no way he's gonna win the fight, but he's
Speaker 7: gonna put up a good fight.
Speaker 1: For a while.
Speaker 7: He he did okay, and he had his moment where
Speaker 7: it looked like he was gonna win it. I think
Speaker 7: you guys described it perfectly, where he started chopping his
Speaker 7: hands up like this, that and the other. I was like, oh, ship,
Speaker 7: he sucking him up, but spending too much time stunting
Speaker 7: just going and kill them, motherfucker. You gotta turn around
Speaker 7: and do all this that and other.
Speaker 1: Get rid of them, bro right, get rid of them.
Speaker 5: He stretch and everything.
Speaker 1: By Yeah that was good. That was good.
Speaker 6: And I like the reaction of the young Katana like
Speaker 6: it was. It was like a belchie like.
Speaker 5: Scream or whatever.
Speaker 6: So yeah, and he was like you're my daughter now,
Speaker 6: like you my my daughter.
Speaker 5: That was crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was That was a hell of a thing
Speaker 1: to say. I was like some I like how she
Speaker 1: didn't kneel them.
Speaker 4: I like how she was the one that was standing
Speaker 4: up and observing the situation and then it pays off
Speaker 4: at the end.
Speaker 1: I thought that was dope.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think this started off pretty good. I think the
Speaker 3: fight was well done. I knew he was gonna lose,
Speaker 3: of course, because he's fucking fighting Chakan, so there's no
Speaker 3: way he's gonna win this. But yeah, if he had
Speaker 3: not been playing around, he might have actually won the fight.
Speaker 2: But instead, you know.
Speaker 1: Wait, how did he did he did he?
Speaker 2: I'm trying to how he killed him.
Speaker 1: I think he used the hammer and stabbed him.
Speaker 2: From stabbed him.
Speaker 1: That's rights first.
Speaker 3: Yeah, crazy, that was dope because he had the knife
Speaker 3: went through his hand and he put his hand through man,
Speaker 3: that ship was tight.
Speaker 5: That ship was tight.
Speaker 1: This dude's not on More to Combat though, right.
Speaker 2: Which dude sha Kan never made it to me?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I remember, Yeah, I was a street fighting person,
Speaker 4: so I played More to Kombat.
Speaker 1: But I ain't even a thing. Was this the dude
Speaker 1: at me and I thought it was Goro, the dude
Speaker 1: with the four ms.
Speaker 3: Goro is at the beginning, is at the end of
Speaker 3: the first Mortal Kombat, I believe Saucon's and Mortal Kombat too.
Speaker 3: I believe I haven't played since I was in high school,
Speaker 3: so I.
Speaker 1: Don't really remember.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's definitely He's definitely in the game.
Speaker 5: Ok, yeah sure so yeah.
Speaker 3: So after after a really short scene where we have
Speaker 3: Katana she's like sparring with her soul sister, Jada Pinkett,
Speaker 3: then it cuts to Johnny Cage and we have Sonya
Speaker 3: and Rayden and they're trying to recruit them. So, first
Speaker 3: off was it was it cool to see everyone back?
Speaker 3: Because when they take Johnny Cage back to the U
Speaker 3: is it the Earth Realm or whatever the fuck it's called,
Speaker 3: where all of the Mortal Kombat folks are, we see
Speaker 3: all of the characters from the first one.
Speaker 2: So was it cool to see everybody back? And Ken,
Speaker 2: were you surprised that Johnny Cake said no, I'm good,
Speaker 2: I don't want to do this.
Speaker 7: It was good seeing everybody back because whatever, I really
Speaker 7: probably should have rewatched the first one because I've forgotten
Speaker 7: all of them live. So I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 7: he's still alive, and she's still alive and such as
Speaker 7: us still alive. So I was like, Okay, it's good
Speaker 7: seeing them back. I was like, then I'm coming back.
Speaker 7: I don't know if they're gonna make it through the
Speaker 7: second movie, but at least they came back for a sequel,
Speaker 7: So at that point I was like, Okay, it's gonna
Speaker 7: be curious to see how this plays out. But I
Speaker 7: loved the reaction from Johnny Cage, and it didn't surprise
Speaker 7: me that he said no.
Speaker 1: They did a good job of.
Speaker 7: Showing that he's he's washed up, he was a thing
Speaker 7: of the past, and that nobody was even going to
Speaker 7: his booth at all.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So, and the last thing he wanted to do, because
Speaker 7: with that being said, like he didn't even have confidence
Speaker 7: in himself. So the last thing he was gonna do
Speaker 7: go fight in a combat to the depth. Wait, so yeah,
Speaker 7: so it made sense. I liked that part from him.
Speaker 7: What about you, Rod, Yeah, yeah, I like him too.
Speaker 7: I didn't think I was based on the on the
Speaker 7: previews I saw, but.
Speaker 5: They found a way to kind of make him work here,
Speaker 5: and I think they set him up to be the
Speaker 5: guy that he was or whatever.
Speaker 6: Sure he was corny, but I think it was oddly
Speaker 6: an effective corny, you know what I mean, Like like
Speaker 6: it takes you back to that time or whatnot, And
Speaker 6: I think he pretty much embodied.
Speaker 5: That that time or that type of character, like that
Speaker 5: last Action Hero guy or whatever.
Speaker 6: And I liked that they gave him, you know, actual
Speaker 6: backstory of you know, having several black belts and things
Speaker 6: like that.
Speaker 5: I think that helped establish his characters. So I think
Speaker 5: they did a good job.
Speaker 2: Actually, you didn't like Butcher playing Johnny Cage Spike.
Speaker 4: You know, all I saw was Butcher being like over
Speaker 4: the top person in this Mortar Kombat world. But I
Speaker 4: do have a question, y'all are saying bringing back like,
Speaker 4: so why did he not remember them? Like I came
Speaker 4: in under the impression that this had happened before. It's
Speaker 4: mort Kombat too, he knows these people. Why was it
Speaker 4: such a foreign concept to him?
Speaker 3: I was so he didn't know them, so they he
Speaker 3: wasn't in the first one, Okay got you, which which
Speaker 3: when we were reviewed it, I guess you want to
Speaker 3: I guess you weren't on it, Spike, I thought you were.
Speaker 3: But that was like part of our big issue was
Speaker 3: like the movie centered around so motherfucker we never heard
Speaker 3: of and he's not in the games, and it was like,
Speaker 3: why are you introducing this guy? But we see now
Speaker 3: it's because they wanted Johnny Cage to have more of
Speaker 3: an entrance.
Speaker 4: So so what I will say about that then, as
Speaker 4: saying the first one of these movies that I've seen,
Speaker 4: I still thought Johnny Cage was ridiculous. I didn't understand
Speaker 4: why they were wrote him that way. That that was
Speaker 4: I was in disbelief. But it did feel good to
Speaker 4: see characters that I like. Jack's Yeah, I didn't know
Speaker 4: the girl. I've never heard of her, but yeah, but
Speaker 4: she and Mortar Coombat too.
Speaker 2: She's in all the Border Combats.
Speaker 4: I've never seen her before, Like nobody wanted to play
Speaker 4: her characters. That may be what it is, but I
Speaker 4: knowing the other ones that they spoke of. I was like, Okay,
Speaker 4: this is cool. I remember these people from playing with
Speaker 4: them like a scorpion and what do you do? And
Speaker 4: then him have knowing what he does and that reveal
Speaker 4: coming out, Like I thought that was cool.
Speaker 1: But I I just hated how they roll Cage.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Sonya was one of the original characters.
Speaker 1: I do not remember nobody.
Speaker 2: If you and somebody picks her, it's like I'm a
Speaker 2: better feature.
Speaker 1: As I was like, I remember her being a character.
Speaker 5: Yes, son want play her?
Speaker 3: Sorry, man, Rob, Where did you think of the fight
Speaker 3: between Katana and Johnny Cage?
Speaker 6: I thought that was interesting what they did with Katana
Speaker 6: because Katana has always been like a bad person in
Speaker 6: the game, right, Like like I thought, I think it
Speaker 6: was interesting in what they did with her her character.
Speaker 6: So I was, I was, I was curious because I
Speaker 6: thought I was like, okay, so how they gonna how
Speaker 6: they gonna execute this because who was the start of
Speaker 6: the movie because they kept playing as like Johnny Cage
Speaker 6: was the start of the movie, but.
Speaker 5: Then you start with Katana. So I was just like, dang,
Speaker 5: how it was.
Speaker 6: It was just really interesting that they started with those
Speaker 6: two as the first like fight, so but nah, I
Speaker 6: liked it though. I like, I like how they did that,
Speaker 6: and Katana was she showed her as she was doing
Speaker 6: all kind of ship and I like how they use
Speaker 6: shall Khan and say finished him or whatever. So they
Speaker 6: tried to trying to throw it in there in a
Speaker 6: way that makes sense, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: I was just like, oh, dun, that's cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah they did stuff like that throughout, but we'll get
Speaker 3: to the other ones.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I thought that was it was Oh, it
Speaker 1: was cheap because.
Speaker 4: Even like this being the first one that I saw,
Speaker 4: was like, okay, if they starting these two people off
Speaker 4: together and these are the two main characters. They gave
Speaker 4: a little preface before when they said you don't have
Speaker 4: to kill him, so like, okay, this is gonna be
Speaker 4: the one where he don't but he don't kill him,
Speaker 4: And like, I just feel like it was very They
Speaker 4: were being very simplistic throughout the movie, and like this
Speaker 4: ain't This ain't a deep movie, bro, Like you're here
Speaker 4: for the fights and the kills, and it's kind of
Speaker 4: like what we talked about we were talking about Final Destination,
Speaker 4: Like you're not here for some deep horror plot. It
Speaker 4: ain't this the thing that got all these twists and
Speaker 4: turns to it? They fighting, the kills should be dope,
Speaker 4: you should be satisfied from that. I didn't realize that
Speaker 4: come into it. So that's I feel like that that
Speaker 4: was just my curve, my learning curve for it. But
Speaker 4: when I seen them two fighting, to your question, like,
Speaker 4: I was like, Okay, both of them gonna live because
Speaker 4: he said earlier, you.
Speaker 1: Ain't got to kill him? Damn?
Speaker 2: Did you like to fight at all?
Speaker 1: Ken?
Speaker 4: I liked it though. I'm glad you like, yeah, yea.
Speaker 4: All the fights were good, though the side stuff was different.
Speaker 4: All the fights when the kills were great.
Speaker 1: Mhmm. Yeah, I enjoyed the fight.
Speaker 7: I was concerned because it was a fight between two
Speaker 7: main characters early and I'm like, they be killing people
Speaker 7: in this in these fights, so one of them gotta die. Yeah,
Speaker 7: one of them don't die. How are they gonna pull
Speaker 7: this off? But they found a way to make it work,
Speaker 7: and then you saw the one of the flames. Uh,
Speaker 7: it's stinguished. So but yeah, you're rights fight.
Speaker 1: They kind of.
Speaker 7: Reset the ground rules for how this thing went, so
Speaker 7: it allowed them room to have fights without real consequences
Speaker 7: or stakes.
Speaker 3: So we see kwan Chi, who I don't remember if
Speaker 3: he was in the in the game or not, but
Speaker 3: he resurrects Kano and Kung Laud who died in the
Speaker 3: first movie. But after he does that, we see Sonya
Speaker 3: fight Sindel. What did y'all think of that fight? Anybody
Speaker 3: could take that.
Speaker 1: Sonya? Who's uh she was?
Speaker 2: Sindel was that's the one that that she just yelled
Speaker 2: fights coming.
Speaker 4: Up like it seems able to wind though, like she
Speaker 4: she just kept taking deep breaths for no reason, like
Speaker 4: keep keep yelling, keep yelling, go ahead and kill her.
Speaker 5: Bro.
Speaker 3: No, she was trash, super trash, and this fight was
Speaker 3: trash because it was two trash ass characters fighting because.
Speaker 1: No one did.
Speaker 4: The outcome did not matter here and the spiked room
Speaker 4: didn't make sense to me.
Speaker 1: But the random like I was like, come on.
Speaker 3: They knew this fight was trash because they and that's
Speaker 3: why they added spikes in the room, because they're like,
Speaker 3: these are two trash ass characters with trash powers. If
Speaker 3: we wait them to kill each other, we're gonna be
Speaker 3: here all day, So throw some fucking spikes in here. Yeah,
Speaker 3: this was tra but either one of them on the game.
Speaker 3: You keep trying to ignore Sonya, Yes, Sonyaw.
Speaker 1: I guess the voice girl. The voice girl wasn't on
Speaker 1: the game.
Speaker 3: She was in the game, but I just don't. I
Speaker 3: think she was in like Mortal Kombat three or something.
Speaker 5: Maybe I don't.
Speaker 3: I never played her character, so I don't know if
Speaker 3: that's her power from the game.
Speaker 2: But she was in the game. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the original characters.
Speaker 6: It's not many of them, It's just it is Johnny Cage, Kano,
Speaker 6: sub Zero Scorpion, Sonya, Blade Raiding, and.
Speaker 5: The kung Fu nigga what's his name?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Those are those are the original characters.
Speaker 1: It okay tho?
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah too too opened it up for a lot more.
Speaker 3: But all right, So Katana reveals that she is actually
Speaker 3: working with Rayden, but when she reveals herself to Jada Pinkett,
Speaker 3: she dimes on her immediately, which lands her in jail
Speaker 3: with Stepdaddy.
Speaker 2: Uh was Jada? Was Jada foul for that fight?
Speaker 1: Yes, especially after all the sister stuff.
Speaker 4: And here's these gifts that I thought that I can
Speaker 4: only give to you because I love you so much
Speaker 4: and you treated me so great. But as soon as
Speaker 4: as soon as there was a I don't know if
Speaker 4: this right, like she turned on her like that may
Speaker 4: mean not like her character, but.
Speaker 3: It seemed like some ship Jada Pinket would do, doesn't it.
Speaker 7: That It seem Yeah, I've seen her and stuff before,
Speaker 7: but that that was weird that she.
Speaker 1: Played in something that I want.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Red Table.
Speaker 7: Talk said, so we we are family sort of thing.
Speaker 1: I knew she were. She was, you know, part of
Speaker 1: the guard.
Speaker 7: With with him, and they just developed a friendship from
Speaker 7: a young age. For further dimer out like that so quickly,
Speaker 7: I was like, god, dang man, Like you didn't even
Speaker 7: try to even listen to her.
Speaker 1: You just went and told what kind of need that?
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: Well, with the help of the ambulance, Shao Khan, Kung
Speaker 3: Loud and Kwan Chi attack the Earth Heroes and they
Speaker 3: almost kill Raidy.
Speaker 2: Were you shocked by this? Robin Raiden got his throat slip?
Speaker 5: I was. I was, well, they've been like they've been
Speaker 5: not killed Rady. I was kid man, But that that
Speaker 5: was that was like, oh ship moment.
Speaker 1: It was like oh damn, Like but.
Speaker 6: I was glad that they didn't actually kill him or whatever,
Speaker 6: because I like how they do like that some of
Speaker 6: the original characters like Raiding and Scorpion. It's like some
Speaker 6: of the guys of mortarcom But I do like that.
Speaker 6: So but no, no, it was it was like when
Speaker 6: what's his name of that came what's the name.
Speaker 1: Of that loud?
Speaker 5: Was he was dope?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, he was dope. He was super dope. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 6: So I like how I like how they did he was.
Speaker 6: Was he in the first I can't remember?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he was dope.
Speaker 1: Yeah I was.
Speaker 7: I was shocked by by it too, because it really
Speaker 7: kind of came out out of nowhere.
Speaker 1: It was just like God, damn you see.
Speaker 5: Beaming down and stuff when he was doing like that's crazy.
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, I mean, you know they had mentioned that
Speaker 7: that they needed his energy and needed him or his
Speaker 7: blood or whatever.
Speaker 1: It was the energy of a guy. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: the energy of guy. Yeah. But I was but I
Speaker 1: didn't expect it was going to go down like that. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I didn't know how important Raven was, so I just like, Okay,
Speaker 4: they got the energy of a god that they were
Speaker 4: looking for, So what's next. The girl Jada Picktt played
Speaker 4: in You and she played in something else.
Speaker 1: So that's why I know her from.
Speaker 2: I think she was in.
Speaker 3: Uh whatever that kind of joky horror movie was that
Speaker 3: had Pete Davidson in it.
Speaker 2: I think she was in that.
Speaker 1: She was in the Last of Them.
Speaker 2: She was in the Last of Us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's why I can't remember who was.
Speaker 4: But to the raid and kill, I thought that was dope,
Speaker 4: Like said, the electricity shooting out and also not knowing
Speaker 4: no lure from it, knowing that they needed energy to
Speaker 4: get from him. That made sense. I was like, Okay,

Speaker 2: So This is when shit starts getting interesting.
Speaker 3: They have another round of the Mortal Kombat starts and
Speaker 3: we see that there's gonna be three fights. So let's
Speaker 3: start with the Black on Black crime. We see Jack's
Speaker 3: having to beat up Jada Pinkett. What did y'all think
Speaker 3: of this fight?
Speaker 5: That's the first thing I thought, Why you gotta do that?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 5: You gotta put whatever? That wasn't right at all. That's
Speaker 5: the first thing I thought about.
Speaker 2: Anybody could have fought Jada. This don't make no sense.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, a big black man versus this woman too, But.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he did until he snatched around.
Speaker 9: He said, yeah, he said, this is gonna hurt.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, he did.
Speaker 5: What you got on what you got on.
Speaker 2: This ship was so foul. Bro I did not like this.
Speaker 3: But Jacks did spare her because she earlier spared Johnny Cage,
Speaker 3: so that whole thing comes around. But after that we
Speaker 3: see what was the second fight. The second fight was
Speaker 3: our Paul, our boy Cole Young.
Speaker 1: From the first movie.
Speaker 3: He was the main character of the first movie, and
Speaker 3: he has to fight uh Sha Khan.
Speaker 2: Now, y'all, before Sha Khan even got the immortal.
Speaker 3: Thing with the ambulance, I was like, oh, he's dying
Speaker 3: because that food was not even in any of the trailers,
Speaker 3: and he was the main character in the first film.
Speaker 2: Sound was like, oh, they find to kill the ship
Speaker 2: out of coal.
Speaker 5: They ritcon that. I like anybody to get rid of him.
Speaker 5: They know.
Speaker 6: Everybody was mad about him because it was so satisfying
Speaker 6: to see him die.
Speaker 2: It was I liked him.
Speaker 1: I liked him.
Speaker 5: I didn't like it because I didn't know him.
Speaker 3: You know him now though, right, you should have went
Speaker 3: back and rewatched the first one.
Speaker 1: You might have.
Speaker 3: You might have felt bad when he died because I
Speaker 3: because he had a wife and a kid.
Speaker 5: Man, I know, I know, and I still didn't like him.
Speaker 1: Somebody somebody he was.
Speaker 3: He was a descendant of Scorpion, and I didn't like
Speaker 3: that because Scorpions didn't even care.
Speaker 2: That he just got killed. It was like, wait a minute,
Speaker 2: you're here, Yeah, that's it didn't make any sense.
Speaker 1: He thought he won too, he did, he did.
Speaker 2: Until he got he cheated. Shakan cheated when he back up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's not fair to be dead. He and see
Speaker 5: that's like you said, he was the main guy in
Speaker 5: the first movie, so it makes sense for him to
Speaker 5: be able to kill him. So I like that. I
Speaker 5: like that. They they they made that make sense.
Speaker 1: But somebody ever thought run.
Speaker 5: He never was supposed to be there, man, Damn.
Speaker 1: I agree with the Yeah, I agree with the rec
Speaker 1: come part of it.
Speaker 7: But because he was a descended I was like, I
Speaker 7: was like, wait a minute, he's fighting, so I know
Speaker 7: he's gonna die. But I said, damn, they're gonna kill
Speaker 7: him off because he's a descendant. Like I thought he
Speaker 7: was important, but clearly not.
Speaker 1: But you know, it was a pretty it was a
Speaker 1: pretty good fight.
Speaker 7: Uh. I just man, it just that just felt bad
Speaker 7: for him because he thought he was going home.
Speaker 1: He went home, but somebody had to die, like you know,
Speaker 1: people living.
Speaker 2: Jesus, Yeah, this was sad.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: I did not I mean I knew he was gonna die.
Speaker 3: I didn't expect him to do to do my boy
Speaker 3: like he did dirty fu head off. He smashed his
Speaker 3: whole head with a fucking hammer and then just kicked
Speaker 3: him in the fucking acid. And I was like, damn,
Speaker 3: because the whole thing is I agree with Rod. He
Speaker 3: never should have been there, and he had the wackest
Speaker 3: power of all time. His power was the more you
Speaker 3: beat my ass.
Speaker 2: The stronger. I can't his power. It's like, bruh, it's
Speaker 2: the shittiest power. Someone got to hit you over and
Speaker 2: over again for you to get powerful.
Speaker 3: This is trash. But I'll tell you what was not trash.
Speaker 3: The lu Kang versus Kung Loud fight. This shit was hard, bro,
Speaker 3: So talk to me somebody.
Speaker 6: Yeah no, nah, both of it, Like lu King showed
Speaker 6: like why he's lu king like like, and I like
Speaker 6: how they set it up and they didn't disappoint you
Speaker 6: know what I'm saying, even down to the to the
Speaker 6: kill where it seemed like he was gonna submit but
Speaker 6: he didn't and he because that that kill.
Speaker 5: Isn't that that that finishing movies in the game. I
Speaker 5: think when when the blade is going on the ground like.
Speaker 2: That and yeah.
Speaker 6: Bro, like, oh man, yeah that that was a really
Speaker 6: good ass fight, especially when he was teleporting and kicking
Speaker 6: and ship man and he was so smooth with the hat, bro,
Speaker 6: so smooth, like.
Speaker 5: Like that's what I'm saying. You're gonna have a hat,
Speaker 5: you gotta be that smooth with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: This was Yeah.
Speaker 7: I think this was probably I'm trying to think probably
Speaker 7: my my favorite fight.
Speaker 1: The choreography. Everything was great. The way he used the
Speaker 1: hats and the way.
Speaker 7: He dodged the hats and all that ship was designed
Speaker 7: really really great, the use of the powers and stuff.
Speaker 7: And I'm with you ro like the way he was
Speaker 7: using that hat, Bro, he would have been cutting because
Speaker 7: and he was like he said, he said, and this
Speaker 7: was cold. He was like, I'm gonna find a way
Speaker 7: to save you. And then he been down, he said,
Speaker 7: but not.
Speaker 1: Today, not today. He jumped back and there I'm like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I think this was one of the best fights of
Speaker 4: this is the whole movie, like him using the head
Speaker 4: being smooth like you said, right, looking at this is
Speaker 4: like damn, It's like the whole movie should have been
Speaker 4: more of this versus fight like give me more plants
Speaker 4: fire Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, I love this fight, especially like the way Luke
Speaker 3: King was using the fireballs on the hat like the
Speaker 3: handle of lamb.
Speaker 2: He jumping the air and hit him with a fireball
Speaker 2: and the hat would go off.
Speaker 1: Course.
Speaker 2: That ship was dope. Man, That's what makes this these
Speaker 2: movies so fun.
Speaker 3: It's like, if this was overly serious and then this
Speaker 3: fight happened, you'd be like, man, this is stupid already, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: but the fact that it's already so Oki and goofy
Speaker 3: you buy lu king having fucking fireball kicks and able
Speaker 3: to kick a sharp ass hat and make it over, then.
Speaker 5: They were able to grab it when it's not looking
Speaker 5: at ship.
Speaker 3: I'm in the theater just grinned the whole time, like, man,
Speaker 3: this ship is so fucking stupid, but it's.
Speaker 2: Enjoyable as fuck.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: So nah, this fight was This fight was awesome.
Speaker 3: So at this point, uh, they realized that they can't
Speaker 3: beat Shao Khan because he has the Ambulet and the
Speaker 3: ambulet makes him invincible, and the fact they have the
Speaker 3: Amulet is somehow making it to where Raiding has to
Speaker 3: stay in this like catatonic state or whatever. I didn't
Speaker 3: really understand the ship with the ambulant. I'm not gonna lie, but.
Speaker 1: Okay, so that wouldn't just been nah.
Speaker 2: I mean, if Roder can't get it, go for it.
Speaker 1: But I was.
Speaker 3: I was kind of confused about the about the amulet.
Speaker 3: But they have to get the ambulance back. They have
Speaker 3: to smash it, so they have to travel to the
Speaker 3: land of the Tarkatains.
Speaker 2: I don't know how you pronounce it.
Speaker 3: But this is where my boy Blanca is, So this
Speaker 3: is where we get the fight between Johnny Cage and
Speaker 3: Blanc not Blanca.
Speaker 2: Sorry, Baraka, What did y'all think of this fight scene?
Speaker 7: I like, huh, you said you liked Barakka?
Speaker 1: I did.
Speaker 5: I like Baraka.
Speaker 6: I do feel like he could have been a little
Speaker 6: bit more serious. But I wasn't mad what they ultimately
Speaker 6: did with him. But I was expected because he looked
Speaker 6: so menacing, right with the with the face.
Speaker 5: So I was just like, man like, like, I'm surprised
Speaker 5: they went that route. I wasn't.
Speaker 6: I wasn't super mad at it, but you know, hm,
Speaker 6: it could it could have been. It could have been
Speaker 6: a little different. I will say that I was thrown off.
Speaker 6: I was thrown off. But how they how they how
Speaker 6: they did it?
Speaker 5: Because I don't know. When he walked up, he look,
Speaker 5: you look badass?
Speaker 1: Real? Yeah?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I expected something a little bit more serious, but
Speaker 7: I guess up to this point, given how the movie
Speaker 7: was and Johnny Cage's characters, it kind of made sense
Speaker 7: for them to do that. I wasn't that much of
Speaker 7: a fan of it, like all these scary looking people
Speaker 7: being not so scary, even though they were scary because
Speaker 7: I think but then they want to eat them or
Speaker 7: something like that.
Speaker 1: But but it was.
Speaker 7: It was Johnny Kge just coming out party, you know,
Speaker 7: and he was talking ship. He was like, oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 7: I accept your challenge, and he thought it was gonna
Speaker 7: he was gonna fight old boy.
Speaker 1: He was like, nah, you, I'm gonna fight you, and
Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna do. And then he finally, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, got to the ship.
Speaker 7: So but it was it was a fun fight watching it,
Speaker 7: like because I think he punched him through the house.
Speaker 1: Or something like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, multiple hell.
Speaker 1: I was like, bro, you just need to retire, go home, right.
Speaker 7: Nah.
Speaker 3: This Baracco was one of my favorite characters, so I
Speaker 3: was really interested to see what they were gonna do
Speaker 3: with him. But I liked this fight scene a lot,
Speaker 3: especially like I was the only one that laughed for
Speaker 3: whatever reason when they were doing the fucking windmill shit,
Speaker 3: like five whole minutes, the.
Speaker 2: Fuck are they doing? And I just busted out laughing.
Speaker 3: But nobody else in the theater thought that shit was
Speaker 3: funny at all. I thought it was the thought it
Speaker 3: was oh good, good, because I was cracking up.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: But uh nah, This this fight was great. So after
Speaker 2: all that, Baraka leads them to the castle where shall
Speaker 2: Khan is and once inside they have to do some
Speaker 2: some more fighting. So there was a fight between.
Speaker 3: Uh Lu Kang uh Lu kang Sonya Johnny Cage and
Speaker 3: they all fought and Jack's and they all fought uh
Speaker 3: out con So I do want to I do want
Speaker 3: to get Spike's opinion when he comes back. But either
Speaker 3: one of y'all, what did y'all think of this fight?
Speaker 3: Because this this one bummed me out.
Speaker 7: Oh I was trying to remember the scene. I was
Speaker 7: trying to remember. So yes, so they were going to
Speaker 7: get the at.
Speaker 2: The ambula, they knocked something out.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, what I think she was pretending.
Speaker 1: I think I do too. She was.
Speaker 2: I'm not with this dude.
Speaker 1: That the way she popped back up at the end,
Speaker 1: it felt like she.
Speaker 2: Didn't until Jack's got killed.
Speaker 8: She was like, wait, no, no, solutive, he had no
Speaker 8: business trying to fight that dude with the robot r bro.
Speaker 1: Just know he ripped his arm off and then he did.
Speaker 3: No yeah, hewn it with the arm that It was
Speaker 3: so funny, was.
Speaker 5: Ship Jackson?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, they have to do Jacks like that.
Speaker 1: Man. They really didn't. He was like white over.
Speaker 4: They didn't like Vietnam kidding.
Speaker 3: Oh, I was not expecting this at all. When he
Speaker 3: slammed him into the wall, I was like damn. But
Speaker 3: when he he stopped it, at first, I was like, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's my boy, Jacks. I did not expect them to
Speaker 3: fucking slam that ship through Jackson's neck.
Speaker 5: Yeah cold. I was like, damn, man. Yeah, they did
Speaker 5: Jack dirty in this movie.
Speaker 6: They They did him dirty in the last movie too,
Speaker 6: didn't They didn' They rip in the last one.
Speaker 3: Yes, some zero froze his arms and broke them off
Speaker 3: and he's in a coma for like an hour.
Speaker 2: And then he got the robot arms.
Speaker 3: But then the robot arms were all skinny, so he
Speaker 3: couldn't fight with him. He had to get his power,
Speaker 3: and his power was the arms got bigger.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they do him so dirty in these movies. That's crazy,
Speaker 5: all right.
Speaker 1: The last characters you will play with no.
Speaker 2: Man Jackson was because once Jack's get you, he does
Speaker 2: that fucking slam ship.
Speaker 4: He had to get you, like if I had some
Speaker 4: zero or scorpion, like get over here, like I'm killing
Speaker 4: you every time you didn't getting close to me.
Speaker 3: Jackson was tight because he could also punch the ground
Speaker 3: and the ground with.
Speaker 1: That's true.
Speaker 3: So yeah, So Kano at this point he decides to
Speaker 3: portray Shaocan and they go down to Hell and they
Speaker 3: get Scorpion again, which we all knew that was gonna happen.
Speaker 3: But then we see Johnny Cage, Kano and Scorpion have
Speaker 3: to fight.
Speaker 2: Behind.
Speaker 3: Behind is the guy that was sub zero, but at
Speaker 3: some point he got different powers.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm not really clear on this part either.
Speaker 3: Was he supposed to be smoked it seemed like, but
Speaker 3: in the game, does sub zero become smoke?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I didn't even know what I said that.
Speaker 4: Now now that you're saying that, I'm like, okay, yeah,
Speaker 4: smoke through the smoke cloud.
Speaker 3: Yeah, in the in the very in the first one,
Speaker 3: like Behind and Scorpion have like a rivalry, but Behind
Speaker 3: in the first one was sub Zero.
Speaker 2: So yes, Mike. It's confusing.
Speaker 4: I don't really get what has to Is there some
Speaker 4: type of comic to this, Like where where is all
Speaker 4: this lure for this game?
Speaker 1: Lay? Is it? Are they just making it up in
Speaker 1: the movie or is it somewhere with like you, there is.
Speaker 4: A a basis for all of this lore.
Speaker 3: I honestly have no idea. I just remember playing the
Speaker 3: game and I knew all of the characters' powers. I
Speaker 3: don't remember there being like these in depth backstories. I
Speaker 3: don't remember there might like just.
Speaker 4: Like just missed it because I know with let's say
Speaker 4: Twisted Metal, Like Twisted Metal had all of the backstory.
Speaker 4: Once you beat the game with a character, it would
Speaker 4: go over the whole backstory or what it meant to
Speaker 4: the villain, all of those things, And I was like, well,
Speaker 4: did I just missed that? With more to combat? Or
Speaker 4: are they making this up? And That's what I'd be
Speaker 4: confused a lot throughout this movies, like is this is
Speaker 4: this for real?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 7: I wanted to ask b about it, but I can't
Speaker 7: forgetting to reach out to them.
Speaker 1: Well, what did y'all?
Speaker 2: What do y'all think of the fight between.
Speaker 3: Scorpion Cano and Johnny Cage when they were fighting behind
Speaker 3: and behind was changing into like different people and.
Speaker 1: Nothing? All right? Yeah, I like this fight.
Speaker 7: I thought the way uh Scorpion handled the whole when
Speaker 7: he kept switching and phasing in and out like Nightcrawler
Speaker 7: and Ship I thought that was dope.
Speaker 1: And then he finally hit him with the get over
Speaker 1: here part.
Speaker 7: At the end, which, yeah, that was you just waiting
Speaker 7: for that, and now I felt like it delivered to
Speaker 7: who else was fighting? Oh yeah, Caano Kano was was
Speaker 7: Kano was was interesting because he got knocked off a cliffs,
Speaker 7: so he didn't really do much else after that, you know,
Speaker 7: he was just busy trying to climb up. And then uh,
Speaker 7: I still don't know how Johnny Cage managed to.
Speaker 1: To survive his job.
Speaker 7: But overall, I like to fight the behind fight though
Speaker 7: out out of all them.
Speaker 1: Yah.
Speaker 3: All right, so lu Kang and Sonya fight Sha Khan
Speaker 3: and once again Sonya gets fucking knocked out and she should.
Speaker 2: Have just not showed up, sucks man.
Speaker 3: But yeah, so Shau Khan ends up killing lu Kang
Speaker 3: and that makes Shao Kan the winner of the entire tournament.
Speaker 2: So what did y'all think of that fight?
Speaker 6: I was waiting a dragon move from from lu Kang
Speaker 6: and that ship was super dope the way.
Speaker 5: Uh that that really should have took it taken him out.
Speaker 6: But yeah, I mean with the immortality thing on him,
Speaker 6: it wasn't gonna do anything. But yeah, man, I like
Speaker 6: how they depicted Luke King and they made him look
Speaker 6: super dope.
Speaker 5: They made him look super dope.
Speaker 6: So yeah, and I like his exit too, like because
Speaker 6: it's like he didn't really die.
Speaker 5: He just kind of said I'd be back type.
Speaker 1: Of thing, yeah or whatever.
Speaker 5: So I like how they did that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that that was some saving saving grace for me
Speaker 7: because I was like, damn, they really they really killed
Speaker 7: off and sonya blade right there, right, I guess so,
Speaker 7: but you know, of course he can hang with with
Speaker 7: with him, so it made sense and it was you know,
Speaker 7: definitely setting up what was to happen. But uh, but no,
Speaker 7: it was a good fight. I'm with you Rod and
Speaker 7: how he was just like, yeah, nah, I'll be back.
Speaker 1: You got that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like right now, it must be it And
Speaker 6: he said a dope ass mine. It was cause they
Speaker 6: can they.
Speaker 5: Make him like a Bruce Lee character. Yeah, it's just
Speaker 5: like this real profound speaker like like that. I like
Speaker 5: how they how they portray lu Kang.
Speaker 3: I forgot what he said, but he basically he basically
Speaker 3: said that like he saw a vision or something where
Speaker 3: he's not the one that's going to kill him, but
Speaker 3: he would be back something along those lines, but I cantfront.
Speaker 3: I did not expect him to kill Lukang at all,
Speaker 3: so I was shocked when he stabbed him. But anyway,
Speaker 3: so the next scene, there's only two more y'all, Katana
Speaker 3: changes sides after seeing lu Kang die cause Sonya finally
Speaker 3: does something to help anybody, and she shoots off the
Speaker 3: little shackles that Katana has. So Katana changes sides and
Speaker 3: decides to fight for Earth Realm, giving them one more
Speaker 3: shot to win it all. And since Jada, Johnny Scorpion,
Speaker 3: and Kno managed to break the ambulant Shao Kan is
Speaker 3: now mortal again. And what did y'all think of the fight?
Speaker 3: I'll start with you, Spike, this was like the last fight.
Speaker 3: What did you think of the fight between Katana and
Speaker 3: Uhha Khan?
Speaker 4: It was predictable in the sense of like once she
Speaker 4: got the mortal thing off of him and could do
Speaker 4: her thing. I go back to when she was training
Speaker 4: with Jada Pinkett as you caught her and just show
Speaker 4: how cold she was at combat, like hand in hand combat.
Speaker 4: It was like, Okay, she got a chance to get him,
Speaker 4: because now he can take ricks, he can like he
Speaker 4: can be hurt, and she's the person that could do it,
Speaker 4: and she was so into it, so it was satisfying.
Speaker 4: It was satisfying to see that in her outcome of
Speaker 4: that fight.
Speaker 1: So I liked it.
Speaker 5: I just realized, did you do that on purpose?
Speaker 3: Because her name is Jade, her name is Jada, was like,
Speaker 3: they're playing with us.
Speaker 4: They put this woman in this goddamn movie with the ballad,
Speaker 4: just like Jada Pinkett had the nerve to name her
Speaker 4: jad mh.
Speaker 1: I'm not.
Speaker 5: No, but yeah, I'm with Spike.
Speaker 6: This was a little This was definitely predictable because you
Speaker 6: see the other thing happening simultaneously with him about to
Speaker 6: lose the immortality. So it's like, okay, she's obviously about
Speaker 6: to kill.
Speaker 1: Him or whatnot.
Speaker 5: But then something happened to her.
Speaker 6: She didn't really kill him, and she called him, called
Speaker 6: him we call like week like your father or something.
Speaker 2: Like that, because she was chopping him up and then
Speaker 2: he chose it out of her.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she.
Speaker 2: Passed out and somehow came back to life.
Speaker 3: Yeah, your father. I was like, oh, yeah, that was dirty.
Speaker 3: That was unnecessary. He was cold, he was cold.
Speaker 5: It was cool.
Speaker 7: I still know how she didn't die. That's they didn't
Speaker 7: really explain that. No, they just had a dream man
Speaker 7: just woke back up. But okay, it's it's a movie.
Speaker 7: But yeah, he.
Speaker 1: Was joking.
Speaker 4: Like, you know, I'm told you just stop chopping me.
Speaker 2: Goddamn it, I told you stop listen.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 7: She got some good licks in, but she was clearly overmatched,
Speaker 7: so he Yeah, they definitely needed to get that Amulet
Speaker 7: situation solved because it was not looking good for her.
Speaker 1: But uh, but now she did the thing.
Speaker 7: With the little blaze or whatever and and chopped his
Speaker 7: ass up.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: I thought all of those fights were dope. Like when
Speaker 3: she kills in the fight, Yeah, easily easily the best part.
Speaker 3: But to me, I don't think I don't think that.
Speaker 3: I don't think they slouched too much with the story.
Speaker 3: But I think if you had seen the first one, Spike,
Speaker 3: you'd have been prepared for the stupidness of this movie.
Speaker 3: But now when she hit him in the face with
Speaker 3: the with the with the spinning blade and then yeah,
Speaker 3: the final finishing movie where she chopped his head off
Speaker 3: that ship was.
Speaker 1: That was fired.
Speaker 4: All of the kills with that Not not being a
Speaker 4: fan of gore or horror, like all of the kills
Speaker 4: was like, he was impressive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all of them were impressive.
Speaker 5: Yeah they did, they did.
Speaker 2: They did a good job with that stuff.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 3: So the final scene, now the tournament is completely over
Speaker 3: and the heroes have now captured Uh Kwan Chi, the
Speaker 3: guy that was resurrecting the dead, and the plan is
Speaker 3: now to use him to resurrect their fallen friends. So
Speaker 3: I assume the next movie is gonna be them going
Speaker 3: to Hell to find Lu Kang uh what's his name,
Speaker 3: Jack's and Kung Loud and get Kwan Chi to resurrect them.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna start with Ken, Ken, are you here
Speaker 3: for this next next movie?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'll definitely watch it. I think you know,
Speaker 1: this could enter resident evil territory. Yeah, I know you mentioned.
Speaker 7: Transformers that that's good too, But yeah, I'll watch it,
Speaker 7: you know, because I just want to see the fights
Speaker 7: and just give me enough of a story.
Speaker 1: To get me from beginning to the end. And I'm good.
Speaker 7: And I think they got a good basis for another movie.
Speaker 7: And you know, they bring it back. Characters that died
Speaker 7: in this one back, so they're kind of cheating a
Speaker 7: little bit, but it is what it is, you know,
Speaker 7: I don't know because most of the ones they.
Speaker 1: Brought back they look pretty dead, so.
Speaker 7: I don't know if they're going to clean them up
Speaker 7: to make them, you know, get back to like a full,
Speaker 7: like living sort of human being.
Speaker 1: Look, but we'll see what they do with it if
Speaker 1: they get a third one.
Speaker 2: What about you rod here for the next one?
Speaker 5: Yeah, man, these these are these are like I said,
Speaker 5: they're fun.
Speaker 6: Man, I'm always curious to see what they're gonna do
Speaker 6: with it.
Speaker 1: Like I said, it.
Speaker 5: Pulls in my heart string or whatever. You know, Like
Speaker 5: I said, I grew up.
Speaker 6: On more to combat hand street fighters, So.
Speaker 5: So yeah, I'm define I'll definitely stand up for it.
Speaker 5: Let's see what they do.
Speaker 2: Like, are you gonna watch the third one? If we
Speaker 2: don't make you?
Speaker 1: The nostalgia of.
Speaker 4: It and the kills and enjoying the vite scenes would
Speaker 4: make me a lot less excuse me a lot more
Speaker 4: to see the next one. Like I'm not mad at
Speaker 4: I didn't walk out of theater, like what the fuck
Speaker 4: did I just watch? Now that I understand the tone
Speaker 4: of it, and I get that a lot more and
Speaker 4: talking about it with y'all, just like Okay, Yeah, I
Speaker 4: know what I'm expecting coming into this, but going into
Speaker 4: this one and seeing it is like, Okay, this is
Speaker 4: the type of humor and that y'all got with it.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't expecting that, but now that I do expect it, yes,
Speaker 4: I would see the next one.
Speaker 1: You know, like when Johnny Cage reached over and grabbed
Speaker 1: the shades.
Speaker 2: Did like this.
Speaker 1: I hated did.
Speaker 4: I was like, bro, why they playing with us, like
Speaker 4: especially Mike, especially knowing him as Butcher because it was weird.
Speaker 4: It made it even worse because I know him from
Speaker 4: the Boys, and I'm like, bro, this is an exaggerated
Speaker 4: version of Butcher.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was weird having to reconcile Butcher doing this,
Speaker 3: but I reconciled pretty quick, especially when he did the
Speaker 3: fucking he jumped up in the air and did the flip,
Speaker 3: did this split and punched him.
Speaker 2: In the nuts.
Speaker 3: I was like, man, here we go, bro, But I'm
Speaker 3: definitely here for a third movie. I barely remember Mortal
Speaker 3: Kombat three because that was like towards the tail end
Speaker 3: of me still playing video games. But I remember Mortal
Speaker 3: Kombat three being like kind of complicated because the the
Speaker 3: finishing moves and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: I feel all the stuff is different the way you
Speaker 1: play the turn yea, all the three.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there was a lot of moves that I
Speaker 3: just couldn't keep up with. But I'm one hundred percent
Speaker 3: here for part three. This is again, this is gonna
Speaker 3: be my my Transformers. I don't see all the resident
Speaker 3: Evils in the theater, but I do end up watching
Speaker 3: all of them. But every Transformers movie, even though I
Speaker 3: know they're all gonna be asked, I go to the
Speaker 3: theater to watch every single one. And Mortal Kombat is
Speaker 3: gonna be that for me. So I will be in
Speaker 3: the theater for motal Kombat three, watch them go to
Speaker 3: Hell to save their friends. I'm here for it.
Speaker 5: So I'm just trying to think who would be the boss?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 2: Well, I guess they're gonna go back to Shang Sung.
Speaker 3: Well, I actually I don't know. Maybe there's like a
Speaker 3: Hell demon or something. I don't really remember Mortal Kombat three.
Speaker 3: I don't remember who the who the boss was in
Speaker 3: Mortal Kombat three.
Speaker 1: So Khan is a boss in three. I just looked
Speaker 1: it up and then.
Speaker 3: Okay, so maybe it's Mataro because he they haven't shown
Speaker 3: him yet, so maybe God, oh, Nigga, I don't know, Nigga, you.
Speaker 5: Like a demon, you like a demon like, so maybe
Speaker 5: maybe it might be him. And hell, what was it like?
Speaker 1: What what game system was it?
Speaker 2: I think this was still Arcade? I think.
Speaker 1: No, Mortal Kombat two was on like PlayStation was.
Speaker 2: Oh, you're right, you're right, because I do have it.
Speaker 3: Actually, I have a Super Nintendo somewhere around here and
Speaker 3: I have Mortal Kombat on that. So yeah, I would
Speaker 3: think that Mortal Kombat three was also on Super Nintendo
Speaker 3: or Sega Genus is something I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't remember Sega. That's what it us.
Speaker 3: All right, Well that's gonna do it for Mortal Kombat too.
Speaker 3: Thanks for sticking with us, and uh, let us know
Speaker 3: what y'all thought. I have a feeling that the majority
Speaker 3: of the comments are gonna be I didn't even watch
Speaker 3: this show.
Speaker 2: I just listened to y'all review. But y'all, yeah, they
Speaker 2: do that a lot.
Speaker 7: Let My movie was packed though, remember uh it was
Speaker 7: packed for me.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 4: It was packed, and everybody was responding to all the
Speaker 4: kills and fights like they will like it was.
Speaker 7: Definitely Yeah, now it did underperform at the box office though,
Speaker 7: of course, but which I'm surprised how packed it was.
Speaker 1: But yeah, but I just.
Speaker 3: Feel like maybe our audiences that might not be them
Speaker 3: because I think like they're a lot younger.
Speaker 2: So it's just trash. That's why you're trash. It's just trash.
Speaker 4: But it probably underperform because the Devil Wears product and
Speaker 4: Michael is still out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mother's Day weekend, I could definitely. Yeah, that's true too.
Speaker 3: That's this was probably not a great weekend for them
Speaker 3: to try to throw this out there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Devilaware is my product. Delaware is product too? Did
Speaker 1: I want that? Den? Did you watch Closer? You said
Speaker 1: he was gonna watch it? Your true man.
Speaker 2: We're wrapping this up, y'all can talk about wrapping you did.
Speaker 1: I just don't know what you did.
Speaker 2: I don't even know what closer it is. But no,
Speaker 2: by y'all.
