Maybe Mortal Kombat: Conquest was too ahead of its time, or perhaps bringing the stories of the games is still too much for a TV budget.
After playing Mortal Kombat 1’s story mode I found myself wanting more — especially of what we saw in those first two acts. But beyond that, I realized what I really crave is a true prequel. Something that feels like its own fresh story while feeding into other parts of the lore.
Conquest does realize that no matter what time period they’re in, fans want to see their favorites. As such, we’re given watered-down precursor versions of Scorpion, Sub-Zero, and Reptile. We also get brief appearances from other notable characters who barely speak or don’t act the way we’ve come to know them.
There are also drastic swings in allegiances, as well as motivations that don’t quite line up with previous plots. It can be hard to follow some of the overarching narrative, and every other episode ends with a tease that never comes to fruition. Sometimes, a new villain is teased, only for the ball to be dropped shortly thereafter. The problem isn’t that the characters are bad concepts, but with how they’re written.
