This time, we explain the ending of Mortal Kombat (2021).<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a new movie in the <\/span><strong><i>Mortal Kombat<\/i><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> franchise comes out, most people assume that it is going to contain an epic showdown between Outworld and Earthrealm, (otherwise known as, you guessed it, a Mortal Kombat). The reality of <strong>Simon McQuoid<\/strong>\u2019s newest addition to the Kombat Cinematic Universe, though, is a little different.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">McQuoid\u2019s film provides some background of the classic Mortal Kombat tale, while also indulging in its modern-day continuation. To make a long story short, the rivalry upon which the franchise is predicated starts in 17th century Japan, when Sub Zero (<strong>Joe Taslim<\/strong>) kills a family that belongs to the rival Shirai Ryu clan. He messes up, though, and accidentally leaves the bloodline intact by failing to kill Hanzo Hasashi\u2019s (<strong>Hiroyuki Sanada<\/strong>) baby.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flash forward to the present. Cole Young (<strong>Lewis Tan<\/strong>), a floundering MMA star and descendent of Hanzo, is sought out by Jax (<strong>Mehcad<\/strong> <strong>Brooks<\/strong>) because they have the same marking. Jax explains to Cole that people are after him because of the markings. And he doesn\u2019t know why. So, Cole is tasked with finding ex-special forces badass Sonya Blade (<strong>Jessica McNamee<\/strong>) so that she can take him and the few others with the same mysterious markings to their mission. And what is this mission, you ask? Oh, only to defeat the evil forces of the Outworld \u2013 which includes a man named Sub Zero who literally freezes people\u2019s limbs off and turns them into weapons. Piece of cake, right?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wrong. It turns out that the Outworld is pretty intent on winning their tenth Mortal Kombat tournament in a row, and they\u2019re not afraid of breaking the rules to do it. But the Earthrealm crew splits up to defeat the Outworld, which ends up being a lot more effective than trying to take them on as a crew. In the final showdown, Hanzo \u2013 now known as Scorpion \u2013 joins his descendant Cole as they take on Sub-Zero in an icy cage match. Together, Cole and Scorpion defeat Sub-Zero and send him to Hell (from which he will almost certainly return in future sequels).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the final scene of the movie, some sense of normalcy has been restored. But Cole makes it clear that he isn\u2019t going back to his normal life anytime soon. He quits his job in the MMA arena and tells his ex-boss that he is heading out to Hollywood. The film ends with a shot of the poster for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Citizen Cage<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, starring <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mortalkombat.fandom.com\/wiki\/Johnny_Cage\">Johnny Cage<\/a>. Seems like we\u2019ve got a brand new character to look forward to in the imminent sequel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As soon as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mortal Kombat<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s trailer came out, fans were commenting on the strange absence of <strong>Johnny Cage<\/strong>, who has always been an integral part of the franchise. The character is a martial artist who becomes an action star who does his own stunts. When people start to doubt that he is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">actually<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> pulling off those outrageous movie stunts, he joins the Mortal Kombat tournament, but, of course, gets himself wrapped up in a universe he is not quite prepared for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The beloved character\u2019s tease isn\u2019t the only part of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mortal Kombat<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that hints at a sequel. After Sub-Zero and Scorpion\u2019s epic showdown, Earthrealm enemy Shang Tsung (Chin Han), declares that next time, the combat isn\u2019t going to be man-on-man. It\u2019s going to be army-on-army. \u201cDeath is only another portal,\u201d he says, if we weren\u2019t convinced. And, while that\u2019s what a lot of people expected would be going down in the film, it certainly makes for pretty solid sequel bait.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mortal Kombat<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a nudge at what\u2019s to come. Ironically, it actually doesn\u2019t have any mortal kombat in it. And, while that might be disappointing for some fans, it can put others\u2019s minds at ease. That simply means that there is going to be a whole lot of follow up to this installment of the series and that the story is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">far<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from over. We are bound to see many more epic showdowns between Scorpion and Sub-Zero, as well as Sub-Zero\u2019s army, who vanish into black smoke after they\u2019re \u201ckilled,\u201d which suggests that death for the Outworld isn\u2019t quite as permanent as the Earthrealm would like it to be.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, as he was the protagonist of this film, we are likely going to see Cole rise up to be the very best of the very best. We are also going to be introduced to a whole lot of new characters and we haven\u2019t seen the last of Johnny Cage. Of course, the meantime should bring an endless supply of fan theories to keep us occupied. One thing is abundantly clear: the world of <em>Mortal Kombat<\/em> is only just getting started.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
