    I wish franchises would stop randomly starting over with their numbering systems.

    It looks stupid, it makes them seem stupid, it makes it seem like they think we’re all stupid.

      1. This is about the new movies, not the games.

      2. it isn’t random. It’s because they retconned the story, so MK1 was named so because it represents a new beginning to a new story/timeline.

      It actually makes you look stupid for not catching onto this and thinking the number just represents release order.

        ONE: It’s the 4th movie. I don’t care if they’re rebooting it.

        TWO: The fact you took my take so personally is hilarious.

        My comment applies to things beyond just movies and video games. It was a general complaint about more than just this specific topic. Calm your tits. Or don’t I don’t give a fuck.

          Lol I didn’t take anything personally but you clearly did with your reaction. I was just pointing out how your argument was nonsense.

          Also, it isn’t the 4th movie. There have only been two MK movies in the new series with Cole Young as the protagonist Just because you don’t care about it being a reboot doesn’t make you correct, just dumb and stubborn.
