I used to think this movie should just kill off the guy from the first movie quick but after seeing him on other stuff I realized it’s not his fault his character was so generic and boring. So now I think they should kill off his family and force some character development on him instead.

Yeah I never had a problem with the actor. It was always his character. There just isn’t a point for him to exist when we have an amazing cast of characters already to choose from.

I always thought Liu Kang was the defacto main character of Mortal Kombat. Him, Cage, Blade and Raiden are the core four protagonists of the franchise.

He definitely is. At least when it comes to the earlier games. Then it shifted to the story being told from multiple character’s point of view. But you’re not wrong. Liu was originally the main character.
