Mortal Kombat was one of the very first video games to get adapted into a Hollywood movie back in 1995 and along with movies like Super Mario Bros, Double Dragon and Street Fighter, set the tone for video game movies being… not so great. Now, 26 years later, Hollywood is ready to breathe new life into the franchise and take a shot at the popular game franchise.
2021’s Mortal Kombat definitely raises some questions. Like why are we following this made-up Cole Young guy when there are about a hundred existing characters to choose from? How deep does this dragon-mark champion concept go exactly? Why did Cole go back to his family after he specifically left them to keep them safe? How exactly is Lord Raiden allowed to intervene? If death is just another portal and all these characters can come back, did any of this even matter?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Mortal Kombat! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

“So he becomes Scorpion?” “No he gets a cool little outfit made entirely of plot armor.” DEAD
-
A 95-year-old senile grandfather runs over a Mortal Kombat champ and now has to fight in Mortal Kombat? So true. That would be an awesome movie. I think Dick Van Dyke would be PERFECT in it.
-
The 95 year old UP man accidentally being put in this tournament sounds like... a fantastic movie idea.
-
"So Raiden teleports them to exotic locations on other planes of existence?" "He sends them to a trailer park and a gym." "... Okay!"
-
"He gets a cool suit made entirely of plot armor" ... The accuracy...
-
Ryan vs. This Movie Ryan wins FATALITY
-
"So if an 95 year old grandpa runs over a champion he will have to fight for the earth realm?" "Yes" "Can we make that movie instead?" LOL
-
“That may as well happen” has quickly advanced to one of my favorite lines in this series.
-
Adding your own original character into a movie filled with many existing characters is tight.
-
“Did he take English lessons in hell?” “He took some very specific english lessons in hell” Bruh I’m dead, I didn’t even think about that😂😂💀💀
-
"While Cole is assaulting his frozen family in the background" "What?" THAT'S IT MATE, 'AM DEAD
-
Loved the "tight" exchange. Just brilliant! No wonder this guy is capable of carrying an entire channel on his own.
-
Saying it all goes downhill from the opening scene is painfully accurate.
-
I laughed and laughed upon realizing Cole’s Arcana is plot armor. He literally sprouts plot armor. XD
-
I spent the whole time I watched this film for the first time thinking, "Who's this Cole guy? Was he a character from the game? Why not just make him Johnny Cage?"
-
"getting your soul sucked is-" "don't say it"
-
Sub zero:(in Chinese) I ended your bloodline. Scorpion: (in Japanese) I like your funny words magic man
-
The way you took the "tight" running gag, acknowledged it, meta-flippped it and STILL landed it, is nothing short of brilliant comedic writing
-
Honestly, the best character throughout the whole movie was Kano. That man's comedic responses and interjections were priceless 🤣🤣🤣
-
Cole with a cooler sweater… I’m dying! 😂😂😂
