The entire episode with Sub Zero and Scorpion is in Japanese? What the heck? Sub Zero better not be speaking Japanese...
 
Well everyone knows that HANZO HANSASHI aka Scorpion IS Japanese so it makes sense for it to be in japanese since it's during their origins.
 
I am terrified about this webseries. i have a bad feeling that it is going to be horrible. Something like this needs to be directed by either the MK team, or with a bunch of input from the fans, cuz the director pretty much seems to be saying: "i really wanted to do something scifi and mysterious so i randomly picked MK and i'm doing my best to overdo it and make up story lines for characters who ALREADY have stories, and make MK fit into the crappily popular movies nowa days, with all these fake relationships and rivalries.
 
@Trilogy: The director is collaborating with Ed Boon and co on this. Something he
Confirmed in an interview with Gamasutra and in the the middle of a twitter convo with Hans Lo of Netherrealm studios on Twitter.
 
He really comes off as a fan like us in my opinion, the fighting in his rebirth video was awesome and he's really putting work into this series so I think its gonna be good. Just give it a chance at least.
 
i'll definately give it a chance. i mean, i'll watch the webseries, i'm just really skeptical about this
 
Does anyone know if you'll be able to watch this after it originally airs? Or do we have to watch it at the time of the premier?
