This includes making Cole Young, an original character, the protagonist over Scorpion or Liu Kang.

Cole Youngs story should continue, butLiu Kang deserves a major momenttoo.

Although Scorpion has arguably become the franchises most popular character, Liu Kang remains important.

Liu Kang won two tournaments in the originalMortal Kombatgame timeline.

This would echo not only their game history but also previous adaptations.

Liu Kang also played an important role in the animated films, not to mention the games.

Still,Mortal Kombat(2021) barely used Liu Kang despite great casting and characterization.

Coles story was interesting, butMortal Kombat 2should balance its protagonists better.

Liu Kang is one of the franchises greatest characters and will hopefully shine more in the upcoming sequel.
