Johnny Cage was one of my favorite character in the first move why did they have to kill hem in part two?

At least Johnny doesn't just disappear, they show what happens at least. Staying true to the game was good, but they didn't have to kill him within the first 5 FRIGGIN MINUTES to stay true to the game's story.
Oh yeah, I don't care alot for Johnny anyway, I mean he was cool, but never my favorite MK character in the games at least.
Shouldn't Johnny have been brought back like Sindel and Rayden are? It seems to me the the movie ends as if the preceding events didn't happen.
shareThey show at the end everything returns to the normal...but no Cage. so everything goes to normal but Cage is still dead. Wow, that's depressing.
Also, I know Liu is in storyline, a better fighter than Cage. But for Kang to kick Kahn's ass, and Cage getting destroyed with one hit? WTF is that? Good way to make him look lame. His death could have been much more significant, like giving everyone else a chance to escape. It would be much more true to the game storyline, where he was overwhelmed and killed by an entire extermination squad.
I actually thought the death was pretty funny. He jumps out to save Sonya in a heroic fashion, and gets his neck snapped in about 2 seconds. Sure it's horrible. But when I look back on it, it's pretty freak'n hilarious!
Anyway, letting Johnny stay dead was probably another mistake. Seriously, this movie has a mountain of them. Has anyone ever actually read about all of them? It's like a Stephen King novel.

Screw the story lines Jonny Cage made the first movie great. Lynden Ashbey should have come back. But obviously he realized a bad script when he saw one. Even Bridgette didn't come back the script was so awful.
shareEven Christopher Lambert didn't come back - either he was committed to another project or he saw just what a pile of smeg the script was.
shareYeah that's what I thought too! I know he wasn't in the games MK2 and MK3 but he WAS in MK4! They should've made it so at the end he was REVIVED too!!!
shareHave you ever played any MK games?? Johnny died like 4-5 times. No one really dies in the MK universe
Anyway, I agree with you, he was my favorite in the first movie
