I agree there were some cheesy elements lol. Kano's taunting of Sonya for example.
^ The dude playing Stryker is none other than BSG alumnus Tamoh Plinkett! He seemed hokey on purpose though lol.
I don't think I've mentioned yet how great the score was! I thought it was really good, but have to be honest was expecting to hear the classic theme song at the end credits.
I really enjoyed this. It was actually my first exposure to the MK mythos, but after this and playing the demo for the new game, I'm thinking I might have to check out some more MK stuff.
Oh, and for anyone wondering, it looks like they might keep some of the supernatural elements. I watched a trailer earlier today on blastr that references characters coming from different worlds, and a guy with black eyes and tattos wants Scorpion to fight for The Netherrealm. (The trailer pops up as another video option after the episode plays).

^ Kevin talked about possibly keeping the supernatural elements intact in an interview he did last year online. He's a huge fan of the franchise and this has been a labor for love. Remember, Jeri Ryan basically did the short trailer last year because she was good friends with Kevin. I just can't get over how well Jeri works as Sonya Blade! I would have never in a million years thought of her lol.

Jeri's awesome.
I found a quicker way to watch the trailer for anyone who didn't want to skip through the video on the other site. It's right under the episode here.
Episode one is now the most viewed video on Youtube. Saw an article claiming that earlier today.
They want people to actually watch it. I expect it will be released on DVD. Putting it online ensures a lot more people will view it as my post above would attest.
I believe that the original short film trailer was meant to be a pitch for a movie. Kevin and company settled for a web series. With the new game out I wouldn't be surprised if there was a new film in development. Everyone wants Kevin to direct and write a new film.
I shutter when I think of TNT's short lived, Mortal Kombat: Konquest which focused on Kung Lao. Well in hindsight it wasn't THAT bad, not as bad as MK II Armageddon.
Not what I was looking for but will wait for episode II where Sub-Zero fights Scorpion. That'll hopefully be more epic than this.
^ I'm guessing you are more interested in the action and fighting rather than the story and characters?
Story and characters are fine and so is the action. I was more.. expecting hand-to-hand combat kinda thing rather than gunfights and a very badly aged 7 of 9.
