the difference is that a "koopaul rant" is about nostalgia and nothing else, whereas my qualms are completely legitimate because they completely fucked with the MK formula that made MK what it is-- a cheesy and over-the-top supernatural series about good vs evil, gods vs gods. there are no outworld races anymore, in fact the outworld probably doesn't even EXIST in this new "interpretation" of mortal kombat, and they're now jumping on the "me too" bandwagon of "dark and gritty" that most movies are jumping onto. MK has never taken itself seriously until MK Deadly Alliance-- and notice how that game and every game after it is complete shit? i wonder why.
saying i'm bitching about this "new MK" and telling me i'm wrong is like telling everybody that bitched about that garbage cyberpunk "urban/futuristic" bastardization of the super mario bros. is wrong. :l
MK is a shadow of its former self and doing this movie will not bring it back to relevance-- in fact it'll probably take that away. the old dog should have died with MK Armageddon because Boon and his team of idiots don't know how to make a good game in this generation, or write a "serious" and coherent storyline.
don't get me wrong, i'm all for new ideas, but if your new idea is to "reboot" a series but remove almost everything that made the series what it is, you shouldn't be allowed to touch that series.
also the difference is that batman and batman begins aren't horribly different-- batman's parents died, he goes through years of training, he becomes batman, he fights crime. it's a reboot but it still keeps the storyline intact. whereas this jumps into something completely different keeping only a few themes like scorpion and sub-zero being rivals and... johnny cage dying (because he's a shitty character)
