Megan Fox's Mortal Kombat 1 Performance Isn't Going Over Well

Fatality Fail!

Shocking. "Should Megan Fox star in video games?" was a question nobody ever asked because we already knew the answer. Might as well have asked whether squirrels poop in trees....or crazy actresses poop in beds....

I just looked it up on YouTube,
and yes, it's pretty bad,
and yes, it's worse than the other characters.
It's also quieter in the mix than the others for some reason.
Look it up before saying that it's fine and it's merely people hating on Megan Fox.

There's a disconnect between what your eyes are telling you and what your ears are telling you.
Your eyes are telling you there's a ferocious beast-warrior-princess-looking thing,
and your ears are telling you there's a tired girl reading lines in a recording booth.

Kinda like the Beyonce thing in the 2019 The Lion King reboot.

Sports fans and gamers have got to be the nuttiest groups of people on Earth, and gamers are inching closer to the equivalent of a British soccer fan with every article.

I bet if people did not know it was Megan Fox, they wouldn't notice anything.

Everyone just figured out that when you can't see her midriff and cleavage, you suddenly notice her complete inability to act.

This and Ada Wong are examples of picking people on who they are rather than what they can do.

Guessing as well Megan Fox cost more than average rando voice actor.

lol. When has she ever delivered a line well? The **** did people expect?

Maybe Megan Fox should just respond to criticism in the most trendy way now, by claiming that any/all criticism of her voice acting is motivated by discrimination.

No surprise here. Toe thumbs is a horrible actress.

This is also on top of the fact that shes a lunatic.

What VA's developers pick says alot obout them.

~I woulda expected this with Neil Druckman not

Ed Boon.

I think the bigger issue is getting actors that aren't typically trained in or don't specialize in voice acting (VA) to do these parts. Sure the celebrity presence is nice to have, but without proper VA training like Cristina Valenzuela has (she voices Shantae as well), you're going to get a performance bereft of any oomph or emotion.

What really surprises me is that she has done VA work before in the Transformers video game series. I wonder if she was just underwhelmed at this role and didn't take it as enthusiastically as fan may have expected.

First of all, I see no problem with her performance. It’s rubbish, but so are the rest in general. She’s just an easy target.

The bigger issue is the fact that they wasted money on a celebrity in the first place. Who cares that Megan Fox is the voice of a character? Who’s stoked about that? No one. Video game companies need to learn that gamers generally don’t care about seeing celebrities in games except in very particular cases. They coulda used that cash and put it toward making the cutscenes not look like 480p Res.
