As a teenager of the 1990s I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for Mortal Kombat, despite its frequent ups and downs, so when the 2021 movie reboot was a bit of a letdown, I shrugged. No worries, there would be another one, almost certainly, and in a pre-Mortal Kombat 1 world I could just turn to the excellence of Mortal Kombat 11 for my absurd Earthrealm versus Outworld story beats and bloody violence.
