The T-1000’s inclusion in Mortal Kombat 1 feels like a perfect blend of cinematic flair and brutal combat, and I’m all for it. It’s wild to think how far guest characters have come since the early days of MK—NetherRealm really knows how to keep things fresh while tapping into that nostalgia sweet spot.
