I think it looks pretty cool. Not perfect, but enjoyable at least. Was kinda hoping they'd just skip Season 2 and jump right into the movie. I mean, they're introducing all of these characters through a web series... What's gonna happen when the movie comes out and not everyone knows what's going on because they haven't seen (nor heard of) the show?
Anyway, my thoughts on the characters:
ERMAC
Eeek. I don't know about this one. I've pictured Ermac looking like a whole lot of different things under his mask, but this isn't one of them. Not a huge fan. I really hope he spends most of his screen time with a mask on. Then again, he probably wont get a whole lot of screen time anyway.
When you think about it, though... It kinda makes sense. Ermac isn't exactly human or anything. He's a collection of souls. And the games never really explained how his body came to be or how it would look. *shrug*
JOHNNY CAGE
Yes. YES! I support this so hard. I mean, I really liked the JC from season one, but this works as well. Both guys are really hot and are bad ass enough for JC.
KENSHI
Kenshi looks pretty damn cool. So long as the blind fold stays on (the actor's face is busted), I wont have any problems with him. Really excited to see how they include him.
KITANA
She looks fantastic. Way better than Season one. I'm glad her outfit isn't super slutty or trashy. And I totes got goosebumps when I saw her fans. I also love that she's got her hair up MK3 style.
KUNG LAO
Erm... What's with the hat? Seriously... Fix the hat and I'll be good. Never cared a whole lot for Kung Lao to begin with, but at least this actor doesn't piss me right off like the KL character in MK9 did.
LIU KANG
YES! Finally a Liu Kang I can appreciate. He's not some fugly little d-bag, he's working for the bad guys, his voice doesn't make me want to throw myself in front of a speeding bus, OH AND HE'S A FREAKIN BAD GUY! Finally, a cool as shit Liu Kang. Really looking forward to his chapter/role this season.
Did I mention he's a freakin' bad guy?
MILEENA
Sigh... Oh Mileena. You're always a touchy subject with me. In MK9 you were a god damn whore for no good reason. In MK Legacy you've got these Joker scars when really you should be wearing a mask/veil to make up for the lack of money to create something COOL and faithful looking to your video game self.
But despite my disappointment with her mouth region... I actually quite like Mileena's design. Her costume is exactly what I want for her; Sexy but not trashy.
RAIDEN
There's not a whole lot for me to say about him. I liked his role in season one. And the actor playing him this season is quite the looker. But other than that, what is there to say? Where's your hat, bro?
SCORPION
At first I HATED his look. But I've recently come to love it. The mask is definitely not what I would have gone with, but I guess it's kinda cool. And the clothing works well enough for me. I dig it. He's probably wearing one of my favorite costumes in this.
SHANG TSUNG
He's BACK baby! I loved this guy in the first MK film. When I think of Shang Tsung I think of him. He's so much better than that reject from season one. SOLD.
STRYKER
Again, not a whole lot to say about him. He was hardly present in the trailer. I guess he's okay looking? I mean, I miss the actor from season one. But whatever. Kinda meh about this at the moment.
SUB ZERO
No. Just no. Lose the paint ball gear, Subby. I mean, seriously?
Anyway, I'm a little bummed about the lack of Sonya and no mention of the cyborgs. Though I can understand them not being there (the cyborgs). Apparently most of Season one's budget went into their episode. *shrug*
Also, where the hell is Reptile? Shit, I'd even like to see Rain. I mean, he was finally made cool with MK9. Lets whore him out a little.
