Remember how impressed we all were Kevin Tancharoen's gritty, real-world approach to Mortal Kombat: Legacy before the web series launched? Well, it turned out to be quite the double-edged sword, didn't it? While it was cool seeing how many of the characters came to be who we all recognize, it didn't always feel like Mortal Kombat. Personally, I grew bored of it pretty quickly, only catching up with it after the season was done.
It looks like all that set-up is about to pay off in Season 2, at least if this new teaser trailer is an indication. Looks like this next run of episodes is going to focus on the gory kung fu action that made Mortal Kombat famous to begin with. Raiden, Sub-Zero, Mileena, and Liu Kang will all feature prominently. They could have left out the origin of Scorpion's famous "Get over here!" catchphrase, saving it as a nice surprise for the series' devoted followers. Clearly, the mandate was to have this season be more closely aligned with the games, which is definitely a good idea.
Missing from the trailer? Michael Jai White's Jax character, although he's expected to return for Tancharoen's Mortal Kombat feature film reboot. Check out the teaser below....
