Mortal Kombat 1 fans are very unhappy with actress Megan Fox’s performance as the evil Nitara.
The Mortal Kombat series has been one of the most well-known and popular gaming franchises since its debut in the 90s. Over the years it has grown to include films, animated spin-offs and much more. One of the reasons it has endured over time is the quality of its characters and the performances supporting them. Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden and others have captivated fans with their charismatic personalities and unique abilities, making them icons of the gaming world. Now, there is some controversy surrounding Megan Fox’s performance.
Recently, ahead of the release of Mortal Kombat 1, it was announced that Transformers star Megan Fox would be joining the cast to provide the voice of Nitara, a character in the game. She is known as a great gamer over the years and has participated in marketing campaigns for games like Diablo 4. Her love for the Mortal Kombat series made her seem like the perfect choice, but unfortunately the response wasn’t the same. That’s what was expected.
The fans didn’t like it at all.
Since the game’s early access release this week, fans have shared clips highlighting Megan Fox’s performance as Nitara, and the reaction hasn’t been entirely positive. The Hollywood star’s acting seems stiff and unnatural compared to other characters in the game. Some fans even called his performance “cruel” and expressed their dissatisfaction on social media.
Here we leave you some reactions that we can read on social networks.
- Megan Fox really is a fantastic actress when she takes on a role, but either she just had bad voice direction here or she just wasn’t cut out for a voice acting job. A little unhappy.
- Please don’t let Megan Fox’s voice play again.
- Nitara’s cruel voice is vilified in every corner of Twitter and that’s what this evil lady and WB get for whitewashing a character that fans have been waiting for 17 years.
- I love Nitara but the voice is terrible.
- I want to remind everyone that we could have had a talented professional voice actress playing Nitara, but NO, we have Megan Fox because she is a household name. They really need to stop casting celebrities who haven’t acted much in their lives for the roles.
