i know kevin could had done better but the budget means everything and he actually got less this season than in season 1, anyways its clear the studio cut him loose, he was fully immersed into the project, to drop it for what, hes not at that point where hes going to have movies dropping on his lap, specially cutting lose a huge property like mk,
Honestly i have little faith in the movie, at least kevin was learning from his mistakes and gaining all that experience to put towards the movie, i feel he had the right vision, he just needed a bigger budget, a better fight choreographer, better cgi, overall a better team that a bigger budget can provide.
now they will probably bring a big name director who has no idea how to spell "kombat" correctly and shit all over mk for the sake of a bigger audience
