Let Be Be Finale Of Seem
I understand they want to build a movie universe ala Marvel but here's what Im worried about, they try to shove in way too many things for a first movie.
The MK movie needs to be contained, with smaller stakes, while focusing on a select few, if not just one, character. The tournament shouldnt be part of it, it should be the end result of the first phase (like Avengers infinity war).
The first few movies need to introduce characters that, for the majority of the audience, are unknowns. Here's a chance to flush out those characters, give them more development, allow people to connect with them more than just "Sonya is in special forces and likes Johnny Cage, who is an actor". Giving a full movie dedicated to a few lets people see them change from regular people to those who can defend earth realm by the end. Characters need to have an arc, they need to be three dimensional, they need to grow.
If they instead mash a bunch of characters, just for fan service, without developing anything, I fear the MK universe will go the way the Dark universe did.
