Sure, the groin punch from the last film was ridiculous, but he got his in the new movie. What were people expecting? Netherworld to take over? Cole gave Goro his best.

wat
New MK movie came out. People bitched about how Goro got treated, despite his very cliche role in all the games.

Goro has always been a doormat. Legendary champion fighter, son of a great king yadayada never meant anything when up against real challengers. All that tells me is he comes from a land of scrubs.

Goro has been forced to job since the first game even though we are told he has been the undefeated MK champ for 500 years.

This movie didnt treat him any worse than the games have been doing

Would I have liked 9 time Earth Realm champion Goro? Sure. But the filmmakers didn't want to remake the '95 movie. They wanted to do something different. I can't blame them for not wanting to go through another montage of Goro beating up extras and for not spending half the movie hyping up what a bad ass he is.

More times than not, it's better to do something different than it is to do the same thing a second time. Maybe if this had simply been the '95 film with blood, a Sub-Zero/Scorpion fight, and a better fight between Johnny Cage and Goro, those same people who are happy now would've been disappointed. Maybe they'd be shaking their heads and wondering why Hollywood put out the same film we've already seen but some minor tweaks. (Look at the reaction to Star Wars 7.)

Goro was just part of the problem since every Outworld fighter got bodied as soon as the Earthrealm warriors got their arcana. It makes you wonder how the hell they managed to win 9 tournaments even with cheating. And if they had 9 tournaments where their champions were killed beforehand, why didn't Raiden get off his ass and do something sooner?

It did kind of make me sad how he showed up with no build and got his ass kicked. Kind of missed the characterization and build he had in the 95 movie. Now he's just some random monster.

Although I did see Shang portaled him and Sub-Zero's body away. Implying they will be returning in the future.

SubZero turns into Noob Saibot now that he's been burned I would think.

He was Shang Tsungs champion and undefeated for 500 years, he's just too difficult/expensive to create to be a big part of a feature length film. Thats why they nerfed him.

I'm not sure if Goro could've been the monster he should've been. I mean the '95 movie buried him DEEP.

I don't think anything would restore Goro to the level of respect he commanded prior to that movie except a live action movie (theatrically released) in which Goro defeated and killed Johnny Cage without Cage getting any offense. He'd probably still have to disrespect him on top of it by throwing Cage's broken shades on his dead body or tearing up an autographed photo of us.

Once that has been balanced out, I think people could view him as a monster again. Had they positioned him as the nine time champion in this film, I think people's thoughts would be drifting to the groin punch and how easily he was beaten in the last movie.

When The Dark Knight came out, nobody was thinking about the Joker losing a surfing challenge or getting punched out by Shaggy in a Scooby Doo crossover. With Mortal Kombat, I think everyone remembers the groin punch.

Goro is such a jobber. He either doesn't do anything noteworthy, or gets made to look like a chump.

The only real problem I had with Goro is that he gets taken out by arguably the worst fighter in the movie.

It really should have been Liu Kang
