Mortal Kombat: Conquest (1998–1999)
10/10
Criminally underrated show
19 April 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I watched this tv show, and its extremely underrated. Great characthers development, and the plot is the best you could made out of a videogame fantasy type of plot. You got Kung Lao, Siro, and Taja, in the classic representation of id-ego- superego that is present in almost every tv show that has 3 protagonists. The psichology behind every episode is complex, and it treats themes like treachery and trusting, sexuality, inner peace, ambition, search for power and the list goes on. The fight scenes are kung fu wire oriented, very far away from the mma types of fights from modern movies, but depicting elements of Karate, Kung Fu, Wing Chun, Taekwondo, be prepared for some wrists locks and lots of flying kicks. The ending is suberb. Stop reading here if you want, because SPOILERS, but it has elements of the baptism scene of Godfather, yes, you read that right, im comparing it to Mario Puzo's classic, in a very unusual plot twist, the bad guy, Shao Khan kills every one of his enemies. The evil won at the ending of this tv show, and in a great fashion.
