The first fighting game series proud of de-sexualizing females and fully embraced tranny propaganda. Seeing the Mortal Kombat fandom dominated by wannabe breadtubers like TheReXerShow, who cry about Gamergate and people not eating up woke slop, is kind of depressing. Especially if you grew up with Mortal Kombat in the 90s and 2000s. The series was the poster child for being edgy and counterculture. Yes they downplay Joe Liberman being a democrat.
Current MK is one of the examples when you see people call something "Safe Edgy". It's got all the gratuitous violence that the series is known for and it pretends it is so proud of but in terms of it actually being more edgy than just appearing childishly violent it is very de-fanged as a series. Even the story took up the same problems of what you see today and it confuses me because it just doesn't work. Characters that felt more honorable and respectful as they were seasoned fighters and monks became quippy tryhards which isn't an issue with me until it's most of the cast that is cracking the same kinds of jokes making the overall tone less serious (which i guess is the point.)

In a different timeline we may have had a very different Mortal Kombat lineage under John Tobias instead of corporate stooge Ed Boon.
 
was that the one where mileena was a nigger?
Jade being bald, Raiden being a manlet, and all sorts of mixing bag that the bullshit directors keep. You remember the time the actor for Jax for the first movie complaining about Raiden being cast by Christopher Lambert? It's literally the same shit as the userbase complaining about Raiden being a wyatt man; when they didn't complain about Fujin's face model (whom, also a white man).
 
Wow, there is zero talk about Mortal Kombat 2 The Movie here lol

No one gives a shit, the first movie was already a mixed bag
The IP has burned a lot of good will over the past few years with blunders and fuck ups. The movie would have to be considerably better than the 1995 movie to really make up for any failings the franchise has had recently. Just being better than the last one isn't going to be good enough. I haven't seen it this far down since around MKvDC.
