In comes Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge, the newest attempt to turn MK into a film franchise, courtesy of Warner Bros. Animation: the studio behind the modern DC animated films. Scorpion’s Revenge marks Warner Bros. Animation’s newest attempt to spawn a new animated cinematic universe based on a beloved property, and for a first attempt, it’s rather special.

Think You Know Pirates? Watch The Bluff
The Bluff unravels its mystery slowly, opening on the capture of a ship captain named Bodden (Ismael Cruz Córdova) and the swift execution of his entire crew. Then, viewers are treated to a tranquil British settlement in the Cayman Islands in the 1850s, where a mother bakes a coconut birthday cake for her son in a house suspiciously rigged with makeshift tripwires and burglar alarms. As it turns out, that mother is Priyanka Chopra’s quick witted and resourceful ex-pirate Mrs. Ercell Bodden, and her husband’s captors are on the way to the island to hunt her down for abandoning them and stealing their loot. The pirates of the Libertas land on the beaches of Cayman Brac, and the scenes that follow show a Viking-esque slaughter of half the island.
