The Myth of the Kombat Death: Scorpion's Revenge, a new film from Warner Bros. The animation, starts with a bunch of kittens. Hanzo's son "Scorpion" is brutally killed while the titular ninja is helpless. Fans of a high-level violent fighting game will be thrilled?
This can gain a little weight, folks.
The first is animation Death of the Combat project from the 1996 animated cartoon Death Kombat: Defenders of the Realm definitely not for kids. Scorpion's revenge, Released last week by the arrival of DVD and Blu-ray on April 28, it is a clear idea of the tournament between Earthrealm and Outworld from the original game, using Scorpion's sad traditional tale as a molding tool.
It's as old a story as the time comes. Shirai Ryu Grandmaster Hanzo Hasashi is a good husband and caring father ruled by his entire family by Lin Kuei, an opposition group led by the famous ninja Sub-Zero. To increase Hanzo's sensitivity, this particular retelling begins with a touching scene between father and son, when he tells young Satoshi what cool spells are all about.

The couple returns from their hike to a valley full of new corpses and a collision with a blue dog. Hanzo, his son lying on his back, tore and tears his way through the attack on Lin Kuei and reached his home, but it was too late. Little Satoshi discovers his mother's bloody corpse and Hanzo gets berserker angry.
This first great fight sets the tone for the fight inside The Myth of the Kombat Death. Flights are flying, faces are stabbed and trimmed, inns are out. It's amazing and powerful as the kind of adult animation animations MTV used on the air in the 90 & # 39; s. Despite the immediate action, the battle choreography is easy to follow. She is beautiful, in a very violent way.
The only time the action reverses is the x-ray shooting. At the limit in the mechanics that becomes the hallmark of a series of fighting games, the action pauses at times with the blinking of an eye and a slow movement of bone. This made me giggle all the time. They are just transgender.
No matter how impressive, Hanzo's cut of Lin Kuei's troops is of no avail. The leader of the opposition Sub-Zero forces Hanzo to surrender threatening Satoshi's life. Hanzo delivers, and Sub-Zero kills them both anyway.
Somehow Hanzo blows into the burning corner of the Outworld, destined for eternity of torment at the hands of Shinnok's demons. He breaks free, because he is the main character, killing his way to Shinnok & # 39; s henchman Quan Chi. The witch convinces the resurrected ninja to fight Outworld on Death of the Combat competitor to realize his revenge on Sub-Zero. But Hanzo Hasashi is dead. Call him Scorpion.
From this point, Scorpion's revenge you are really good Death of the Combat with a few twins. Raiden hires his champion, Liu Kang, action hero Johnny Cage, and Konando Sonya Blade who will serve as Earthrealm champions. In a fun twist, Sonya's introduction includes her killing a man directly in street fighting games in China. I think he might have survived, but look at the man's face.
When the three main characters are introduced, Scorpion's revenge it lost some of the smoke. In an attempt to cover the standard beats from the game, it becomes a Johnny Cage, Sonya, and Liu Kang show with a special guest Scorpion. Events from the play, such as Li Kang Kang winning over the Outworld Kitana and Cage princess and blooming love / hate but ultimately all the love relationships, are rushed to reach the same Scorpion cave.
The story of a movie may be swift, Scorpion's revenge it always has time to fight gory violence. We see ribs fractured by limbs, hollow holes tied to their heads, leaving their skin broken, wrinkled teeth, broken bones, and muscles parted slightly. It's not just villains that are boring, either. At one point, the hero Liu Kang, who fights the Black Dragon mercenaries, cuts one and uses his disguised head as a weapon.
In other words, Death of the Combat. It's unfortunate for fans of the series to sign up every time a new game comes out in an accessible two-hour format. I was expecting a simple issue to be dragged into more extreme violence, too Scorpion's revenge sent.
Hooray, but also ew.
