The modern optics of a Caucasian man playing the lead role in a story about martial arts aren’t great
That's actually pretty racist.
Lastly, the new Mortal Kombat’s story simply doesn’t seem to have as much of a place for Johnny Cage. The reboot is heavily focused on Scorpion and Sub-Zero’s rivalry, and hints point to Cole possibly being connected to both.
Yet you replaced Cage with this new guy because you hate white people. You could swap it back to Cage while keeping everything the same and it would still work. No place for Johnny Cage my ass.
Notice how the author says it's a bad look for a Caucasian male to be in the movie, but has no problem with Sonya Blade.
From a looks standpoint, the casting of Sonya is better than I expected. Still, you can tell they were holding back. Can’t have too attractive of a woman, and certainly not one with big breasts!
