So you're saying that it's MK3's fault that MKA had bad plot, bad dialogue, bad acting, bad directing and bad action scenes?
Also, even if the movie WAS good, how does that make it canon? Do you know what canon means?

MK3 had one of the better storylines in the entire series.

SMALL differences? Do you even know the storyline?

It just follow the MK3 game. MK3 storyline sucked anyways. That's why you never hear too many people taking about it including Ed Boon.

The MK3 story DID suck, but MKA ''didn't just follow MK3''. It made the story even more horrible. Also, do you know what Canon means or not? This is absolutely senseless.

um...no, not really. I ask again, do you know the storyline?

Oookay...where the hell in MK3/UMK3 did they get the idea that Raiden and Shao Khan were brothers and both Shinnok's sons? Also, during the movie Shinnok was still an Elder God where in the game's storyline he was imprisoned in the Neatherrealm for centuries. Thus the MK:A movie is NOT canon. Have a nice day!

Sorry dip shits but it was canon, and yes I know what that means. MK 1 the movie was not completly canon to MK1 and 2 games now were they? There will always be some small differences to the game and the movies. Blame yourself for the movie not being very good because people like you rushed the movie production.

People like us? You mean people who know that MKA did not follow MK3s storyline?

MK:A Didn't follow the MK3 storyline because...
1. Sindel was made a general of Kahn's extermination squads, when we KNOW that that position was meant for Motaro.
2. Smoke and Cyrax were NOT REPORGRAMMED by Shao Kahn, but by Sub-Zero (Smoke wasn't reprogrammed at all).
3. Smoke used a harpoon as his trademark attack, not missiles, which belonged to Sektor.
4. Kitana was the one who successfully jogged Sindel's memories about their past together, which the movie ignored.
5. Jade betreayed Kahn, but was secretly working for him in MK:A.
6. Scorpion was supposed to be neutral, not working for Shao Kahn.
7. The Elder Gods never interefered in MK3, while they do in MK:A.
8. Shao Kahn doesn't look human, but he does in MK:A.
9. Noob Saibot's not a part of Ermac, yet that's the story they showed us in MK:A.
10. Nightwolf doesn't teach Liu Kang how to perform an "Animality" (whoever decided to add that into the movie deserves to be beaten with a stick).
11. Shao Kahn didn't kill Johnny Cage personally; Cage died when confronting the extermination squads.
12. Shinnok, Raiden, and Shao Kahn ARE NOT RELATED in any way, shape, or form.
I'll update the list later, but if you can't see how different the two storylines are, then there's no hope for you.
The only thing that the movies have in common are the characer names, and the basic issue of Shao Kahn tyring to merge Earthrealm and Outworld, but that's all.

What. The. Fuck.

So yeah, basically, you don't know what canon means. Canon doesn't mean faithful. It means official in the timeline. Mortal Kombat Annihilation never happened in the games, not in the least, therefore it's not canon.
And I guess us people who think MKA isn't canon are to blame for MKA sucking. Which it does. Order the movie again and watch it for yourself. While you're at it, order a dictionary, look up Canon. It's under C, by the way.

Hahahahaha Jerod you rock! take that Noob

I agree with Jerrod. There were alot of differences alright... how could you call MKA canon? There were alot of errors compared to the storyline.

No way in hell would MKA be remotely considered to be part of the actual story (Canon) of Mortal kombat. I just cannot believe they decided to skip the events of MK2. Some of the thing that happened in MK2 are very essential for the to have made MKA.

Jax would have never gotten his cyber arms had he not been severly beaten in MK2.

It was in MK2 that Scorpion learned that when Sub-Zero appeared it was his younger brother, which meant that in MKA, Scorpion should have switched sides.

it is wrong to consider MKA canon since there are so many important events that happen before the takeover of Earthrealm. There were things that happened in MKA that is canon, but they happened the wrong way e.g. Johnny's Death and Sindel Change of Heart.

You guys. You guys... Chill... Didn't any tell you all to not argue with an idiot.

I posted it once and I do it again MK games and MK movies nothing in common.
C'mon people.

MKO should have an online dictionary available. First, a guy shows up and doesn't know what canon means, now it looks like someone doesn't know the meaning of the word common.

To everyone, I have a college degree. Do you? So I'm very educated. MK the move was based off MK 1 and 2 the game. MKA was based off MK3 the game. The story of MKA was canon from MK3 because of the invasion of Earth realm by Outworld. It did include most character from MK3. What more do you want from the movie? It was not all that bad of a movie because you guys obviously remember every detail of it. At least it followed the storyline somewhat unlike the upcomming Dead or Alive movie.

You still don't get what 'canon' really means.. anyway MKA was a horrible movie, 'canon' or not. It was a badly directed cheese fest. Anyone with a tiny bit of good taste in film would know that.

OK Mr. College Degree, how about you take that little education and give us the definition of Canon, because you obviously have no idea what it means. Just go ahead, give us your definition of the word 'canon'.

The game had pretty much every character in MK3:

Shang Tsung (If you count the flashback)
Liu Kang
Sindel
Jax
Cyrax
Sub-Zero
Smoke
Stryker
Sonya Blade
Nightwolf
Sheeva
Kabal
Noob Saibot
Ermac
Rain
Motaro
Shao Kahn

But it did not follow the storyline well. Therefore it was not bad because of the MK3 storyline.

You've made your point 100x, are you done?
