Megan Fox voices a vampire lady named Nitara in Mortal Kombat 1, who has appeared in several entries of the series. However, the community feels that Megan Fox is anything but delivering a good job in conveying Nitara’s emotions.
Who is Nitara?
- Nitara belongs to the vampires and tries to protect her comrades in Mortal Kombat 1.
- She uses her claws and fangs in combat to tear apart her opponents.
- As a vampire, she needs the blood of her opponents to survive.
- She is voiced by Megan Fox in Mortal Kombat 1.
Sounds pretty bloodthirsty, doesn’t it? Accordingly, many fans expected Nitara to sound like a monster. However, Megan Fox’s voice acting performance is reportedly “too dry,” as some users write on the Reddit forum.
What bothers fans about Megan Fox’s performance? According to fans, Fox sounds too much like a robot. None of Nitara’s lines are said to sound authentic, and sometimes Nitara’s lines even pull players out of the game’s immersion. She sounds way too normal for a vampire.
Fans would have preferred a professional voice actress instead of a Hollywood actress. They even believe that any random woman in the world would have done a better job than Megan Fox. Their judgment is therefore extremely harsh.
In contrast, fans are satisfied with the performances of Jean-Claude Van Damme, who will voice Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat 1.
You can judge her performance for yourself in the following promo video:
Megan Fox reminds of another case from Mortal Kombat 11
Some fans are reminded of an incident involving a fighter from Mortal Kombat 11. Here, Sonya Blade was voiced by American wrestler Ronda Rousey, who has no experience in voice acting.
Accordingly, the judgment was also harsh for her. In a tweet by Fobwashed, you can hear how Ronda’s performance was at that time. Some fans even created memes that consider the work of Rousey and Fox to be on par:
The meme depicts Sonya on the left and Nitara on the right. According to the meme, both pictures are supposed to be the same.
Who do fans wish for instead? A voice actress that some fans would have preferred is Cristina Vee. She has voiced many characters in video games, animes, and other animated series.
Some of you might recognize her as the voice of Riven from League of Legends, who is among others the main character of a 13-year-old rising talent.
Megan Fox actually has experience in voice acting, as she works as an actress and has done some voice work in the past. She is known for her acting performance in the Transformers movies.
For Diablo 4, she read eulogies, including one for player wudijo:
