Mortal Kombat 1 Won't Feature The New Movie Character Cole Young

I saw that crappy movie and don’t remember that character at all.

At least mention Lewis Tan, the actor that plays the character this article is about.

Daily updates on a game that most people really don't care about anymore. At least make their marketing team work for it.

@Cashews speak for yourself. MK holds a special place in my gaming youth as it does for many.

@Kaspari_Villalobos i second this opinión

The important question is whether or not they'll have Siro.

... No they won't.

But will Larry David be in it? This is what the people really want to know.

Im glad he isnt in it.
This game got me hyped and brings back some good memories.
Amazing. First streetfighter and now this gem!

Meanwhile let’s shove in random movie and superhero tv show characters while shoehorning references and characters from the previous continuity that they act like they wanted to step away from.

Lmao pretty sure even Mokap has greater demand to be in this game then the crap movie character.

@Cashews MK is one of the most popular and iconic fighter series to this day objectively so your comment might as well be my toilet paper for how worthless it was.

Good. Does anyone care? I liked MK better when it didn't include goofy movie tie ins anyway and that character sucked.

TOASTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

That movie was just ok. Cole was a nothing burger of a Protagonist. Even his power being a literal plot armor was lame.

They really should've made Liu Kang or Scorpion the Protagonist.

Watched the movie the other day thought it was good

Of all the characters from the MK media that made it to the game series, so far Quan Chi was the only one that had that treatment. For those who don't remember Quan Chi first appeared in the cartoon show MK: Defenders of the Realm in one of the episode way before the release of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.

He became so popular with the audience that Ed Boon and John Tobias bought the rights to his character from the USA Network (cause even though Quan Chi was created by them, USA Network had ownership of the character as it originate on their network) to make him into a villain character in their game starting with MK Mythologies: Sub-Zero and then Mortal Kombat 4 going forward.

With Quan Chi's inclusion some people often speculate if other characters from those shows/movies made it to the game series too. The other few popular ones are Vorpax, Kiri, and Siro from MK Conquest, and Oniro from Defenders of the Realm. If Cole Young made it to the game series, he'll be the second media character to be part of the game series.

A similar situation happen with Street Fighter as well when Capcom was making a game based on their live action movie, though both the game and the movie doesn't feature iconic Kung Fu master Fei-Long, they did include an original character Captain Sawada to take his place. Unlike Quan Chi, Sawada's inclusion was not due to popularity seen by Capcom but that Capcom simply want more characters from the movie in the game as most of the actors likely those who play T.Hawk and Dhalsim in the film never show up for the game's development.

@EriXz I third this opinion. I was playing the first games back in arcades in the early 90's.

@Cashews

you dont know what you're talking about. i care about this series and this game.

@CMS_Glalie

"the movie wasn’t bad that’s just your opinion because you didn’t like it"

is it your concern that others cant tell fact from opinion? rest assured, they can.

by your logic, no movie can be bad because it's a subjective value rather than objective fact. while that may be, not every truth in life must be objective fact 🙂👍

my opinion: this movie was terrible but I enjoyed watching it with some friends that also grew up playing these games 😎 and ill watch whatever terrible MK movie they come out with next 😆

Good. Movie people be doing too much

Makes perfect sense. They didn't put Art from the first movie in any games either. Besides, Cole's powers are lame. Defense Armor +2 is for rpgs, not fighters. Talk about getting the short end of the stick.

I never was a fan of vehicle characters. Just give me the main cast and go from there.

@CMS_Glalie that movie sucked balls, and that character had the worse powers of them all.

Tbh, the first time I watched the film I felt that it was not good apart from a few fighting scenes.
However, watching it again I enjoyed a lot more. Even Cole wasn't so bad, however, I'd prefer the new film to focus a lot more on the most popular fighters.

Well that sounds pretty good. Was nothing special about that character.

Actually enjoyed the fights in that flick. Despite it being pretty.. lacking overall. I’m betting Cole shows up at some point as paid dlc. All things are possible with micro transactions.

@Cashews Have the confidence to speak for yourself. Your opinion isn’t shared.

@Arawn93 if it’s used toilet paper then sure but never ever discount the god send that is toilet paper. Mortal Kombat is still great after all these years and I’d go on to say it trumps street fighter. Second to only smash bros. for me.

Well that's good. Was such a weird/dumb decision to center the film around a nobody.

I'm also a huge fan of the new character Luigi Kang.

I'm a bit worried about Liu Kang not returning, but oh well.

That new movie was a hell of alot better than MK annihilation. I had the displeasure of seeing that on launch day all hyped and excited after loving the first one. Boy did that feel like a bicycle kick to the Nards. Talk about a katastropy!

Irony in Mortal Kombat 18 coming out in 2037, Cole will be a most wanted character as a dlc or something and people are gonna go nuts 😉
