Mortal Kombat: Legacywas the fairly popular live-action series that ran on Machinima last year. I personally enjoyed it immensely, even though some folks were a bit lukewarm on the project. But, I mean, c’mon! Michael Jai White as Jax! C’mon!
Legacywas spun off a short film calledMortal Kombat: Rebirth, which got more than a few heads turning. Director Kevin Tancharoen made the film in order to seek permission from Warner Bros. to do a full-lengthMKmovie. Though Warner declined the movie pitch, it allowed Tancharoen to make the nine-episodeLegacy, and the success of that series did eventually change Warner’s minds on allowing Tancharoen to takeMKto the big screen.
Anyway,Legacyseason two was announced during SDCC; whereas the first season only covered character backstories, the second will take place during the Mortal Kombat tournament itself. New combatants… excuse me… “kombatants” will score screen time, including Ermac, the blind swordsman Kenshi, and policeman Stryker (Fun fact: My online handle “megaStryke” takes the “Stryke” from him). I’ve enjoyedLegacythus far, and hopefully the new episodes will address people’s concerns from the original.
