Yah, but those stairs were steep.
Tee-Hee!

Actually, I don't recall those stairs. I just remember Cage running up the cliff, then kicking multi-arm off for destroying his designer sunglasses.

How would you handle him?

I always liked his hidden agenda to revive his race and (this based on the Malibu comics of the 90s) use to have to keep his focus to keep his human form in check(ala Venom). I also loved how him and Baraka while forced to work together were always at each others throats.

A harlequin baby that somehow lived to the age of 30 that is really just a serial killer who eats peoples heads just does not do it for me...... where is the acid spitting, the cloaking.......

....... well even if Scorpion is also a little off, he is handled better. Also nice touch with the Sub Zero and his brother thing. In the original story Scorpion killed the real Sub-Zero in MK1 and his brother returns in MK2.

Did Sub-Zero have white eyes like that in the original games? To me it looks more like Scorpion.

I thought those Malibu comics sucked donkey balls. Just my opinion though.

I am sure he would be spitting something after eating all that head. ...that's what she said.

He looks like the lovechild of Psycho Mantis and ROC Cobra Commander.

Nope, Sub Zero had normal pupils like any human, only Scorpion (Cause he is dead), Reptile has pure green eyes, Smoke had grey ones, Noob (Nuff said), Ermac, Rain, ect (No clue only sprite related).

Also yes most of the Malibu books did suck but some of their character development worked (Reptile for one, Kitana for another)

Quite an interesting interview.It was best that Michael was initially dropped the role of Jax for Spawn(A movie that I adore,to be honest)considering what happened in Annihilation.I also had no idea he was implying that his character still has the metal arms...this movie is becoming more faithful and interesting every single day.

I wonder how they're going to handle the Babalities and Friendships.
