Mortal Kombat Fans Discuss Who Will Take Jax's Arms This Time

thegamer.com:

While he's not part of the original crew, Jax is one of the key members of Earthrealm's Special Forces defensive setup against the likes of Outworld. However, by the time Mortal Kombat 11 came around, he retired and suffered the effects of PTSD. Considering that the man got his arms ripped out in several timelines and adaptations, he deserves his rest. Unfortunately for him, Mortal Kombat 1 was announced.

As pointed out by NateDawgDoge on the Mortal Kombat Subreddit, whenever there's a new Mortal Kombat timeline or movie adaptation, poor old Jax will have his arms ripped, chopped, or frozen and smashed off before he comes back stronger with his robot-arms. That last one was the latest version of this, thanks to Sub-Zero in the Mortal Kombat live action movie.

Now, with a whole new timeline reboot, thanks to Fire God Liu Kang, fans have been wondering just who will take away Jax's arms this time. The answers were as you'd expect them to be. A number of replies featured Kintaro and Motaro, in hopes that the characters would return. Another featured Mileena eating his hands in front of him. That wouldn't bode well for her relationship with Kitana.

Surprisingly, a lot of fans don't want Jax to suffer before he gets his power-up, but hope he enhances his arms on his own, like in his debut appearance. "I like the idea of Jax getting his ass just beat, and he realizes he needs more of an edge against these supernatural forces and does the enhancements himself," said one of the many comments in a similar vein.

However, the most horrific answer of the lot came from RedactedNoneNone. "Kano and Jax should be merged together in the new timeline," they said.
