'MORTAL KOMBAT: LEGACY' - EPISODE 6



Episode 6 of the "Mortal Kombat" web-series tells of the arrival of Raiden on Earth. He has come to fight in the Mortal Kombat tournament and save mankind. Only one problem : he falls from the skies and lands in the courtyard of a mental institution. You can figure out what follows. Maybe I'm being silly, but if you're the God of Thunder, shouldn't you plan your visits to Earth a little more carefully. The director of the series, Kevin Tancharoen issues a disclaimer before the episode starts, cautioning us that this is in fact his personal vision, a brand of "gritty realism mixed with a hint of mysticism". He has good reason to do this, because this episode is bound to inflame fans everywhere. I'm not a fan, but even I was disappointed by Raiden's misadventures, which could easily have been the subject of a comedy. And there's only a hint of martial arts in this one, so don't expect Raiden to kick too much ass this early in the series. All in all, one of the weakest episodes in the series.
