The 2021 cinematic adaptation of Mortal Kombat improves in many ways upon the cheesy 1995 version, with gory fatalities true to the video games and much-improved special effects. There's also more attention paid to Mortal Kombat lore, but with that comes some plot holes big enough to roundhouse Goro through.
Why is Liu Kang so bad at his job? What's Sonya even doing at Raiden's Temple, since she doesn't have a dragon mark? Why is Raiden so inconsistent with his "interventions"? And how does this whole "arcana" thing work, really? Here are some plot holes in Mortal Kombat that everyone ignored.

@@knuckles290 Also, Liu Kang stated that he had trained tirelessly before he took the mark from the orphan seller, then his arcana unlocked right after acquiring the mark. So if we treat the "arcana unlock" as a sort of "experience points bar", then filling up said EXP bar before acquiring a mark(much like Sonya and her special forces training), then it makes sense for some people to automatically unlock their arcana upon recieving a mark, wheras others got the mark first and still have to fill up that "arcana unlock" EXP bar to get their arcana.

I wouldn't say that Sonya being there is a plot hole. They allowed her to stay as a courtesy because as the video points out she did what Liu Kang was supposed to do. She had actually contributed more to Earthrealm's efforts than anyone at that point. Raiden included her in the final battle plan because, well, why not? They were short handed and she wanted to help. Lacking the mark/arcana makes you useless in the tournament, but doesn't mean you can't help outside of it.

Is Sonya really a plot hole? Sonya was investigating the tournament. She ultimately finds a way to get there and ultimately brings Cole and Kano there. While Kung Lao tells her that she's not allowed to train, she's still allowed to stay, and ultimately does so she can support Cole and Jax. When the fighting ultimately begins, Raiden no doubt finds himself responsible for her safety, and also probably considers that she may come in handy in their defenses. Sonya also ultimately proves herself useful when Cole allows her to take on Kano, which gives her a chance to earn her symbol.

Cole is written like bad fan fiction Riders be like OKI got this original character conceptYou find out scorpion had a daughter hidden away and survive the massacreThen Raiden hid her away to protect the Hazashi vloodline so he can unite the Earthrealm Warriors To fail the prophecy

@thenation1575 3 года назад

I mean using previous games as a basis maybe specifically MK9- Lui Kang follows raiden until maiden's judgement gets warriors killed causing a falling out

The plot holes in MK, remind me of when Ben Affleck asked Michael Bay on the set of “Armageddon”, why it would be easier to train oil drillers to become astronauts, rather than train Astronauts to become drillers, and Bay told Affleck to “Shut the f**k up.” I’m sure that was a common quote flying out around the writer’s room for MK, when anyone asked about gaping plot holes.

It's a plot hole that Mileena didn't kill Sonya: 1) Liu Kang had emphasized that enemy fighters were brutal and do not show mercy, so Mileena should just kill whoever she fights. All the baddies should. 2) Mileena is cloned with cannibal DNA, and is shown licking the blood as if she embraces that lifestyle. She should have not only killed Sonya, but probably bitten a chunk out of her for the satisfaction of it. 3) The blood shouldn't matter. It tastes different if you have the mark? Are Earth fighters Jedis now? With midichlorians?

@ProfessorArt1 3 года назад

You mean bite her just for the fun of it? Yeah that’s a very mileena thing, I don’t see her just letting people go.

But if there are only a few left. Either champions have been killing each other, or, we’re hunted down by non-Earthrealm parties.

@codycooper5768 3 года назад

"WE'RE" hunted down??? I've gotta ask, sir... are you yourself a champion of earthrealm???!!!!!! we've got to get moving, then!!! No time to waste! The fate of our world is in your hands!! Quickly, we must seek out lord raiden so that he may consult the elder gods!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Why now, why not earlier. Urm did you not watch the film? The prophecy that scorpions blood line would finish him. That's why now and not before

@4:23 With Jax recovering from his Minor Arm Injuries. Lol.... Minor.

@robbylowrie3896 3 года назад

I think the reason Raiden let Sonya stay is that he knew she could defeat Kano if the need comes

@beastsquad6909 3 года назад

Everyone clearly wanted Sonya to get rid of Kano from the start. She didn’t have the might to do it at first, GROWTH

@KindaSlow 3 года назад

How did they not bring up that mileena is in this movie but not Kitana even though mileena is a clone of kitana! And where the heck is Johnny cage, he’s literally been in every game I don’t see why he couldn’t be in this movie. I also know both had Easter eggs but what’s wrong with having these fab favorites

@a7x266 3 года назад

seems like Raiden had a plan all along, he knew what it would take to get cole his powers, he knew if he let him leave shang tsung would send someone after him and his family and in turn he would get his powers and probably knew something about sonya as well. not really a plot hole, also the sonya not killing kano thing, she knew she would get the mark but nothing was 100%, she even says "i knew it" at some point traveling i think when they finally made it and kang found them implying they weren't 100%.

Casting Damon Harriman as Kabal was an interesting choice. Though every time I see him I think hey guys look Dewey Crowe’s alive.

Why did Kano’s eye short out when Sonya hurt it? It’s not technological, it’s magic.

@Jiron127 3 года назад

It's probably similar to jax arms

@mynameis4555 3 года назад

Cause it's still a mans eye, would hurt

@hunterbunn1404 3 года назад

Excuse my ignorance as I’m not super into the lore/games, but for me I’m trying to understand how Bi Han stayed not only alive, but did not age from 1617 until the present day?

@kenanmorris8322 3 года назад

Shang tsun probably keeps his fighters alive. He steals souls for eternal life and power. I'm pretty sure he's able to give it away as well

Did anybody else notic e that because they did all those pre toURNAMENT there was no mortal kombat tournament in the MK movie ?

@Gamble9110 3 года назад

Also Rayden refers to himself as an elder god in the movie if I remember correctly instead of just the god of earth realm.

@alexsolomon7991 3 года назад

Also, bear in mind that raiden COULDN"T help Liu Kang gather the warriors before, as that would be direct intervention on HIS part. The humans had to find the temple on thier own...made more difficult as Shang Tsung had been picking defenders off for years..and HE could teleport TOO. This also explains why they helped Kano find his arcana..they had virtually NO other options, as he was 1.) marked and 2.) found his way there on his own. Beggars couldn't be choosers. admittedly, they should have had better security though.

@MikeGone88 3 года назад

how did scorpion learn english in hell and only learn "get over here"..

@Mohammad927 3 года назад

The first point is just wrong, no warriors to fight = forceful concede = win

@josebonifacio8226 3 года назад

calling ripped arms a minor injury is a PLOT HOLE

@Nox360 3 года назад

The reasoning behind Sonya not killing kano is the act would have tainted her soul, especially if just to take the mark. Then, she would have turned away from the temple based on that alone. If you played the games, its why ashra could not leave the netherealm. They actually kept to cannon. The writers kept her from killing him until the right moment. There was a chance he cold be good, but ultimately, He was not. At after he became a threat to earthrealm, she was able to defend the realm. So no, she should not have killed him.

@authorrobjohnson3178 3 года назад

But Kano's a criminal that ends up turning on them anyway and tries to kill her. That's why the whole she has a conscious about killing him didn't make much sense. And she's part of the Special Forces. She's probably killed those that were deemed a threat. There was no reason to keep him alive other than plot.
