then degrading the appearnce would be down to someones perception, but body mutilation is an offensive term in the modified community and like it or not it's a way of life for some people just because we aren't protected by discrimination laws doesn't mean that it's ok to insult us because of life choices we have made.
I think you should chill a little bit there. I'm sure anyone who has "modified" their body willingly is well aware there are a large amount of people who would look at it as mutilation. It isn't like people are trying to offend you by saying it, it's just the way people feel when they see those pictures. And I don't see anyone discriminating, unless you think having an opinion is automatically discrimination without any actions to back it up.
We are all aware that people look down on it but that shouldn't stop us from trying to excepted as people who live differently, the discrimination bit was used to proove a point. It would be against the law for you too insult someone because they followed islam or were catholic I feel the same should apply to modified people, for some people it's just a fashion accesorie but for others it very much is a way of life and seated in very powerful emotional and spiritual circles.
You're forgetting the the character who said "mutilation" works as a police chief in a crime ridden city. Maybe the word was chosen as a character choice as Jax himself might have been disgusted with the notion instead of the script writer showing bias.

My problem isn't with the character. My problem is that it was used in the description of the short.

The trailer never explained how Barakka made those modifications. Indeed there are safe methods of achieving those looks but did you ever stop and think that he might have used more barbaric means to get the look he has now. I mean the dude went as far as to attach blades in his arms that can retract, you think he's going to use the same level of care and caution that body modifiers frequently practice?

This makes me feel stupid for the utter stupidity of it all. Who puts a failed actor undercover. That's like taking Charlie Sheen and instead of putting him in "Two & a Half Men" you put him undercover as a Taliban sympathizer in Afghanistan.

Wow. That actually looks interesting, even though they're throwing their entire mythos under the bus, and really screwing up some of the timeline, but MK hasn't been worth anything for quite a while.

With the new MK game, and if there is a movie like this coming out, there may yet be hope for the old MK franchise.

What the MK nostalgics need to remember is that a possible new movie's target audience is likely to have been 5-8 years old when the "real" Mortal Kombat was big. The audience for an old-school campy MK film would be almost entirely composed of nostalgic gamers who remember the old games, an audience infinitely smaller than the possible gain by modernizing the series.

Looks rubbish that is not Mortal Kombat. It has nothing to do with Mortal Kombat apart from character names and i won't be having anything to do with it.
