You haven't read about the test screenings, have you? Let's just say the assumptions are unfortunately incredibly correct.

I don't blame the character or his story as even being bad, or the family characters as being bad. I think it was just not giving them enough time to develop or screentime. I hate all the hate towards Cole Young, and how the first comment is about 'correcting a mistake' by adding him to the movie when it was in the traditional spirit of Mortal Kombat that made them create him instead of Johnny Cage. So people celebrating him being sidelined sucks, when I don't think that was the mistake. He becomes a central character for the Mortal Kombat film universe. MMA as a realistic fighting form coming to Mortal Kombat was also cool. And I'm a big Lewis Tan fan. The writers would just need to have written a deeper character storyline instead of just sidelining him. They start one thing, then rather than just utilize better next time, the audiences just become more shallow in their narrow-minded ways of thinking about characters and movies, or those who might have still liked the character and just decide to let screenwriters do the cheap cliche they do in every movie. If they genuinely liked the actor they'd want him to stick around, not see only negatives in the character, and not choose to see everything that happened with them as being a bad thing.

Anyone got any idea what kind of breed Tink was? I love his coloring. I don't want to be superficial and just get a dog for his or her coloring, but Tink was adorably one of a kind. I love how we can like violent shows and still be sensitive animal lovers. Thanks for the article.
