You got me in that it’s been more than a decade since I’ve seen either
I just can’t get past raiden man. No charisma. I woulda rathered they took the sub zero actor and made him raiden. Subzero woulda been cool regardless. Same for liu. I just didn’t care for any char and don’t think I felt the same way about the first version. May have been some cringe acting but overall I think I liked the chars genuinely more. I remember loving cage. You’re right maybe if I rewatched I wouldn’t like the chars as much as I previously did.
I genuinely think with casting changes and mild script changes this would have been a far better film. Like are we supposed to care for cole with a back story nothing more than broke daddy shitty MMA fighter and have to see him every 45 seconds
Im with you 100%. You should rewatch the original, Cage is enjoyable, but he's also super cringey. The worst, most over the top acting in the original film is Raiden and I'd still take that Raiden over this new one. I couldn't stand him either, he and Cole were easily the things I disliked the most.
Like I said, I think they only used a fictional character because otherwise they'd have to say an existing character was an ancestor of Scorpion, which would break cannon and piss off a ton of nerds lol. Honestly though, Cole could have worked if they casted someone with more charisma than a wet tampon. Even his Goro fight was easily the worst of the big fights and it's fucking Goro. Im hoping they'll make sense of the Cole character in the sequel, but I'll probably hate him just as much there. People fixating on him not being real are just being dumb though, it doesnt matter if hes real or not, what matters is that his acting, abilities, and motivations all sucked balls
