* AdaptationalWimp: Johnny Cage would sadly get this in both films. While earlier ''Mortal Kombat'' games made him out to be a JokeCharacter by the time of ''[[VideoGame/MortalKombat9 MK9]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/MortalKombatX MKX]]'' Johnny had [[TookALevelInBadass proved]] to be a CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass personally kicking the asses of Sub-Zero, Scorpion and even PhysicalGod Shinnok as one of the strongest guys in TheVerse. The duology however, mainly keeps Johnny as the PluckyComicRelief who helps Sonya fight {{Mooks}} with his only victory being a fight with Baraka in ''Scorpion’s Revenge'' where the collapsing temple they match took killed the Tarkatan instead of Johnny himself who just ducked and dodged. In ''Battle of the Realms'' all Johnny does is get his ass kicked by D'Vorah and help Sonya fight demons in the FinalBattle.

* TookALevelInBadass: Liu Kang, as part of his character arc. In the first film he was a talented fighter who ultimately [[spoiler: lost his final, climactic fight against Goro]]. By the time of the sequel, he's improved enough that he [[spoiler: defeats Jade, Shang Tsung, and Shao Kahn in the tournament. And he becomes empowered enough to take on and defeat Shinnok fused with the One Being, with Scorpion and Sub-Zero lending him their help]].

* CurbStompCushion: Some of the major villains can seem unstoppable but a few times, some of the heroes can give them enough of a busted lip that they don't come across as totally invincible even when the heroes lose in the end.

In the second movie, [[spoiler: both Raiden and Sonya Blade can stagger Shao Kahn with their hits even though they don't win against him]].

Here, he's a decent person long before [[spoiler:learning about what Quan Chi did to him]] and even aided Raiden's forces against Kano and his men.
