Mortal Kombat 2 is the most exciting Mortal Kombat movie in years because of something that was set up in the 2021 reboot. The first Mortal Kombat game was released in 1992 and instantly became well-known for its over-the-top, bloody violence. After the success of the first Mortal Kombat game and its sequels, which further developed the lore of the franchise, it made sense for a movie to be made. It didn't take long for the first live-action Mortal Kombat movie to be made.
There Hasn’t Been A Mortal Kombat Movie About Mortal Kombat Since 1995 The Last Two Movies Haven't Featured A Mortal Kombat Tournament Close In Mortal Kombat lore, the tournament was created by the Elder Gods, who rule over the universe. The Mortal Kombat tournament is usually held once every generation and acts as a way for Earthrealm, Outworld, and Netherrealm to fight each other without an actual war taking place.
Mortal Kombat’s 2021 Reboot Took A Big Risk By Not Including The Tournament 2021's Mortal Kombat Featured Shang Tsung Attacking Earthrealm Before The Tournament Close It wasn't all that surprising that Mortal Kombat: Annihilation didn't feature a proper tournament. Perhaps the creative team behind the film thought including another Mortal Kombat tournament wouldn't have been as interesting to audiences after the characters just fought in one in the 1995 film.
Posts 1 While this decision somewhat made sense for Annihilation, I'm still shocked that the 2021 Mortal Kombat reboot didn't include a proper tournament. After all, a tournament is the perfect way to introduce all of Mortal Kombat's best characters and establish the many different rivalries.
