Mortal Kombat - Even Men Can Be a Mary-Sue. Equality!

from Remakes Reboots & Revivals · host Rolando Nieves & Nicole Pometti

Test your might. Fight! Round 1: 1995's Mortal Kombat, directed by Paul W. S. Anderson, follows protagonist Lou Kang on a revenge mission while simultaneously protecting the Earth-realm from Shang Tsung and his minions. How does this film rank amongst other video-game-adaptations? Is this film a flawless victory? Round 2: 2021's Mortal Kombat has dropped in theaters and HBO Max. But, instead of following Lou Kang, Johnny Cage, and Sonya Blade we're introduced by Mary-Sue, Cole Young. And we're given the gift of exposition dumping and CGI. But which film delivers the KO? Listen to find out.
