The Mortal Kombat Legacy series is getting a second season! While the first series had its share of criticism, it was still the best Mortal Kombat interpretation on the small screen. with a second season to focus on the actual first tournament, we provide you a list of 10 things that would definitely make the second season a great hit among the fans. Let’s get to it:

10- More special moves and more over the top fighting:

Let’s get one thing straight, Mortal Kombat is about fighters, ninjas, cyborgs and 4 armed demons fighting in a mystical tournament where souls can be consumed like chicken pot pies. so grounding this whole world into modern realism and down to earth “real” fighting might not be well appreciated by the fans. I am not saying that all actors should be wired and flying from one corner of the set to the other, like a dragon ball z movie, far from it. What i am saying is that the fight choreographers should not limit themselves to real fighting and should try to respect the game more than realism.

9- Continuity with the Movie:  Read more...
