Kroenen In Mortal Kombat?

The Kroenen in the movie was basically redesigned by Guillermo Del Toro from the comic version. My Finance and I were wondering where he came up with the idea and then we realized it. Actually he realized it. The final battle mask looks just WAY too much like Kabal from Mortal Kombat 3. It's interesting because Kabal was my second favorite character in that game. Stryker was my first and I was equally as good with either, but having been YEARS since I'd played MK3 I had forgotten a lot about him. I thought I remembered him even having similar swords but I wasn't sure. "Hum, baby what weapons did Kabal have?" I asked. He responded, "Possibly swords. Uh oh time to break out the MK3!" Well look below to see what I found out.

This is the mask Kroenen used in the final battle. I wondered why it looks so familiar.

Everyone, meet Kabal. Doesn't he have a nice mask?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a much nicer view of his mask.

 

 

 

 

Oh my I was right. Look at those swords!!! Don't they look familiar? Straighten out the tips and give them only one wooden handle and you've got Kroenen's blades.

Here's another view of his swords. But wait there's more!!!

Mortal Kombat had fatalities and in Kabal's fatality he took off his mask revealing a cut up messed up looking face. The clues just keep on pilling up!!

 

 

 

Well since I showed his fatality I had to show Kabal's friendship as well. He places a giant marshmellow on his sword and roasts it in front of his defeated foe. I'd love to see Kroenen do something like that.

 

 

 

Here's Kabal with a bunch of dynamite strapped to his chest. Ok, there's no reason for this picture except for the fact that I like hurting my favorite characters and my two favorite MK3 characters are in this pic together.

 

 

 

So after all this evidence I think you will agree with me that Del Toro HAD to have gotten his ideas from Kabal. There's just way too many similarities for it to have been coincidence.
