none of these movies have ever explained why they spell combat with a k

The entire movie was a trailer for the sequel

gotta know which of the three writers that wrote Mortal Kombat (2021) threw in the line “all the great artists are a little twisted, man”

I simply do not know what people were expecting. Is it perfect? No. Is it rushed at times? Yes. Are some of those performances rocky? Absolutely. Was it a fun time?? HELL YEAH IT WAS - LET'S FRICKEN GO BABY FRICK EM UP! Say the cheesy one liners! It's a story about a fighting tournament for the fate of the world, could it get super deep and flip our perception? Sure. Does it have to? No. I would have loved this to be a full on brutal revenge flick but I genuinely had a good time with a lot of the characters. Cole is rough though... sadly I want nothing more than to rent out a theatre and watch this with a group of friends, or just have a basement party with this on the tv.
