Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Mortal Kombat broke a 29-year-old franchise tradition regarding Liu Kang that only Mortal Kombat 2 can restore. As the first theatrical Mortal Kombat movie since 1997’s Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, the 2021 reboot had the difficult mission of reigniting the live-action side of the franchise. Between the violence and the special effects, Mortal Kombat accurately portrayed the visuals and the tone of the MK games.
Curiously, there was not a tournament in Mortal Kombat . Therefore, Cole Young did not actually replace Liu Kang as the winner of the tenth Mortal Kombat. Still, Cole Young was the protagonist whose role in stopping Shang Tsung and Shao Kahn was bigger than he imagined – a storyline that is usually given to Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat. Liu Kang was in the 2021 reboot, but the fan-favorite MK character was not given much to do. In the latest Mortal Kombat, Liu Kang felt like just another warrior.
Why Cole Young Was Made The Protagonist In Mortal Kombat Cole Young was the “point of view character” in Mortal Kombat The decision to include an original character in Mortal Kombat and make him the film’s protagonist took many by surprise. Considering how many established Mortal Kombat champions there were already for the movie to use, plus how there hadn’t been a live-action MK movie since 1997, the reboot was expected to focus on names like Johnny Cage and Liu Kang.
