I'm annoyed of the constant shit that Hollywood pulls nowadays with changing established characters' gender or race. And lo and behold, the actress who is playing Mileena definitely doesn't have the same skin tone as the character. That, mixed with the main character being a made-up protagonist not even from the games annoys me as well. And the final thing (so far) for me is they're making my favorite character, Sub-Zero, into Shang's bitch which definitely never happened or would happen either. Bi-Han or Kuai Liang, either one.

All of that isn't to say that I won't watch the damn thing when it comes out and even enjoy it because I'm such a mark for the franchise that I love pretty much everything associated with it. It'd just be nice to see a movie or TV series of MK done right and all evidence is pointing towards this outing not being done right.

Edit: And yeah, I actually watched that same video a few days ago. Well to be fair, Kano was not Australian before the first MK movie, and Scorpion and Sub-Zero were both Shang's bitches so to speak. "Deadliest of enemies, but slaves under my power."

What I find interesting though is Jax is being played by the guy who plays Jimmy Olsen in the Supergirl show. Would've preferred Michael Jae White or someone, but I can make due with him. I feel ya on Mileena and the others though. I remember the thing about an OC protagonist awhile back but it was a deconfirmed rumor. Are we sure that's still the case? Because I hadn't heard anything about it.

Oh yeah, speaking of shows, it was nice to see Kiba from the cartoon as a spirit animal for Nightwolf in MK11.
