Where's the Finish Him? When's Mortal Kombat Round Two on HBO Max?
Remember when Mortal Kombat (that glorious, gory movie) dropped on HBO Max? Good times. Now, we're all tapping our feet, waiting for the next fatality... I mean, installment.
The Big Question: When?!
Seriously, HBO Max, give us a date! Are we talking months? Years? Should I start practicing my *Hadouken* in preparation? My thumbs are getting twitchy.
It feels like forever since we saw Sub-Zero and Scorpion duking it out. I need more bone-crunching action. My inner child (and my adult self, let's be honest) demands it!
Unpopular Opinion: It Was Actually… Good?
Okay, I'm going to say it. I liked the Mortal Kombat reboot. There, I said it! Sue me!
Yes, it had flaws. Every movie does. But the fight scenes? Epic. The characters? Recognizable. The blood? Gloriously excessive.
Some people grumbled about the plot. But come on! It's Mortal Kombat! We're here for the fatalities, not Shakespeare. Give me a break.
Enough With the Teasing!
We've heard whispers. Rumors of sequels. Hints of spin-offs. It's like they're deliberately torturing us.
Just tell us something! A teaser trailer? A release window? Even just a confirmation that it's actually happening would be appreciated. Throw us a bone, Warner Bros.!
Maybe they're waiting for the perfect moment. Or maybe they're just enjoying our collective suffering. Either way, I'm starting to feel like Jax waiting for his arms.
What We (Probably) Want To See
More characters, obviously! Where's Kitana? Where's Mileena? We need some female fighters kicking butt and taking names.
And more backstory! Dive deeper into the lore. Explore the different realms. Give us a reason to care about more than just the fights.
Most importantly, let's amp up the fatalities! Go full-on ridiculous. Make them so over-the-top that we can't help but laugh. That's the Mortal Kombat spirit!
My (Probably Wrong) Prediction
Alright, I'm going to go out on a limb here. I predict we'll see something – a trailer, an announcement – by the end of the year.
My reasoning? Pure, unadulterated hope. Plus, Hollywood loves to capitalize on nostalgia. And Mortal Kombat nostalgia is at an all-time high.
But hey, if I'm wrong, don't blame me. Blame Shao Kahn. He probably has something to do with it.
Until Then, We Wait…
So, what do we do in the meantime? Re-watch the first movie, of course. Play the games. Argue about which character is the best (it's Scorpion, obviously!).
And keep refreshing the HBO Max homepage. You never know when that glorious "New Episodes" notification will appear. Fingers crossed!
Until then, Get Over Here! and let's hope for the best. May the Elder Gods be with us. And may the next Mortal Kombat movie be even more insane than the last.
