I can't belive that Mileena which is one of the most original and one of the better character in MK history gets such an insult.

To be punched in the face by Stryker?? dammm........ that's harsh.

She should stick her Sais in that dude and finish him off.



Cool intro btw.

In my opinion, the opening trailer is being overanalyzed. I believe the trailer's theme (everybody racing to fight one another to defeat Blaze, and Blaze being the Elder Gods' safeguard) is canon, but I don't think the fights and deaths represented in the trailer are. After all, who would want to obtain the endings when they know if their favorite character dies in the beginning?

I just wanna say that my absolutely favourite moments from the trailer was Shang Tsung launching Shujinko without even the slightest effort. Shang was whooping everybody.

If I must be positive so all the fan boys dont eat me, I repeat, it looks amazing, but thats just it.

WHY didnt they eploit the real depth of Mk???......why.....?
i'm loving because it's non canon.
if this like actually happened then yeah i'd hate it to.
but i'm taking it for what it is, when the game loads up this is the first thing were going to see so i think it's just to get us pumped and excited.

and i think the reason why they didn't...eploit? the depth of mortal kombat is because there are 62 characters in this game.
i really don't think they'd make a opening intro that explains the back story of this game because they'd have to tell the back stories of every single character in the game or atleast every single character that make a decent appearence in the intro.
jax for instance or kunglao all that would need explaining and i doubt totally and completely that the MKTeam would make an intro that explains everything that happened with so many characters.

not trying to sound like a crazed fan boy or anything but i think to many people are looking into way to much.
it's not here to explain the story, thats what konquest and character bios are for, it's here get us excited to play the game.

like said in the actual intro "Armageddon Has Begun"
so i think the intro does a good job of showing us that.


Bios could had helped to explain what happened to characters, but the intro could had been developed with more powerful fashion by starting off where MKD ended and giving us some sort of story that develops from there....I dont know, like Ermacs ending for example and then something else, etc.

I just think it could had been so much better, but yes, at least visually, it looks good. But I just cant seem to like it, oh well. sad
thats whats konquest for.
yeah it could've been better but for what it was it's great.

this intro isn't supposed to tell the entire story of the game just give us a peek at the things inside.
and like i said i think it does that well.

it serves it's purpose i think.
though your idea is very good and makes a hell of alot more sense it's not what this intro is.

Well, in MKD, the intro came after Konquest, so we will see what happens in this game.

Awesome intro and it's NOT "canon". According to Cinder:

"Please remember this is just the MKA intro video and it is meant to set the mood for Armageddon, it does not reveal the true fate of each fighter!

Still it is awesome

Armageddon has begun!"

btw, for the dude that said Smoke was bad, incorrect.In MK:D, his card says he's good, he was reprogrammed to be evil for noobs desires, however when Smoke was in Netherrealm he was glitching because he still has good in him.

Smoke is NOT evil, he was Noob's bitch more or less and as for the alliance gig well just about everyone's alliance is in jepardy.Hopefully the good guys will stay with each other though, we'll see.

Bach, I'm going to listen to that again lol with Cyrax.

WOW!wow the intro was amazing! the only part i hated was Li Mei getting stabbed by Hotaru...and that we didnt see much of Tanya or NItara...other than that...it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G-!




I dont care about the story, but to all those of u bitching about how the story's been fucked...this is what Cinder said:

Nope. It's pointless, non-canon, and more or less destroys the mythology MK has built up over the years (gaping plot holes and all). Random, pointless chaos/carnage a good intro does not make. As amusing as it was to watch Stryker bitch slap Mileena, I'm afraid it doesn't change my opinion on this issue. There's no ramp up for the storyline, nothing on Daegon or Taven, nothing. It's just every MK character in history beating the crap out of each other because it's the "cool thing to do" whenever Blaze comes to town.

I'm starting to think the Midway team is sexist...


I mean look :

Sonya...pwned by Johnny Cage

Mileena...pwned by Stryker

Kitana...pwned by Kintaro

Sheeva...pwned by Kenshi

Tanya...pwned by the Pyramid

Kira...pwed by a falling Kabal

Li Mei...pwed by Hotaru

And the rest had very little or no screen time...
