Mortal Kombat Trailer Finally Explains Why Scorpion Hates Sub-Zero

Ghaaa... Why didn't they give Scorpion a twist on the revenge story?
What if Sub-Zero was selected as a vessel for a demon and he tricked Scorpion into taking his place (resulting in Scorpion slaughtering his clan and family himself)? And to protect himself, Sub-Zero had to make a deal with a God to gain his frost abilities resulting in him being the God's *****.
Sounds way better than the official stuff...

Heh, was gonna post about how I thought it was already known, but hey, many people have beat me to it. So, what else is there to say...
Ahh, of cause. I could swear back after Armageddon, Midway said something about a gritty re imagining with almost none of the old cast. I recall a comparison made to Gears of War about the style intended. When I saw that whole live-action trailer thing, I assumed that was how it had progressed. Did I imagine all this?

This isn't news and it isn't new information. This has pretty much always been the reason why Scorpion hates Sub Zero, admittedly he did find out Quan Chi was actually the culprit but storyline wise that wasn't untill MK4.
He did. Sub-Zero from MKII and onwards was actually Sub-Zero's younger brother. The elder Sub-Zero came back as a wraith, not unlike Scorpion, and was recruited by the Brotherhood of the Shadow. In this he followed under Shinnok, a fallen elder god. MKIII happens and he fights under Shao Khan. He later finds Smoke and decides to make an army of cyber-ninjas. Fun is had.Legion said:
Whatever, my fighting games really don't need a story.
The "story" should be like this:
Boss does something bad, everyone is pissed. People go and kill it.
Anywho, I can't wait to play the game.

I'm kinda curious if Sub Zero's Henry Rollins looking brother will show up. Although outside of maybe an alt SZ costume it could come off as lazy if Boon & Co. don't give him a separate move set along with fatalities. As for SZ vs Scorpion, while Scorpion drew me into the first MK with the easy fatalities, and special moves. Sub Zero quickly became my favorite fighter as I learned to play and still is to this day. I'm gonna be shattering Scorpion's frozen liver repeatedly when this finally releases!
It's a good story, thankfully resolved in MK Mythologies.Greg Tito said:
The fan-made Mortal Kombat trailer [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/101195-Mystery-Mortal-Kombat-Trailer-Will-Blow-You-Away] however, I detest, and I hope that film never gets made. Sorry, Tacheron, but in my humble opinion, you're in no shape to make a video-game based film if all you're doing is taking away character and adding gore, which is still mostly non-existent in that trailer aside from the brief fight scene.
I'm not sure about the rest of you, but making two of the most vicious killers in MK, in this case Reptile and Baraka, who were a lizard-man and a demon-like Outworlder, into pure human killers, does not sit well with me, especially since they are so well known. Plus, Tacheron has said that the mystical elements of MK will remain if the film is made. If that's true, he shouldn't be altering those characters at all; they're not humans.
actually Quan Chi killed his family or clan members if you beat scorpion's ladder he is joined by his fallen commrades and they tell him that Quan Chi kiled his clan not Sub-Zero. Quan-chi made it seem like sub zero did it but subzy didnt so scorpion kills subzy thinking it was him but all along it was Quan Chi.
I thought it was Subzero's brother (Hydro?) that killed Scorpion's clan and family and Scorpion mistakenly took it out on Subzero. Or did Scorpion kill Subzero's brother thinking it was Subzero? I can't remember.
