So after a generally enjoyable season one, disregarding some missteps here and there, season two comes around. This is a strong start, with a look not unlike modern Hollywood action movies and a realistic gritty tone. Sonya is taken prisoner and Jax leads a special forces team to take down Kano’s gang. The first two episodes of season one go into the back story of Sonya Blade, Jax and crime boss Kano presented in a familiar “Cops and Crime boss” setting. All these stylistic touches seem thrown in at random and overdone in many instances.įor ease of reading, I will have short reviews for each arc. Tancharoen seems to be copying the style of other directors like Zack Snyder’s slow motion speed ramping, Neveldine and Tylor’s high speed shaky cam digital photography, Paul Greengrass’s hyper fast cuts. Just two things that permeate the both seasons seems to be director Kevin Tancheroen’s indecisive directing style and the annoying music. Each episode is so distinct in tone, style and entertainment value that they are almost like mini-movies unto themselves. Season two comprises an ongoing story arc of the tournament plus three origin stories told in flashbacks for a total of 10 episodes. This web series, originally debuting on the Machinima youtube channel, consists of 6 story arcs over 9 episodes for season one.
