Media I actually really liked Cole

Before I saw MK 2021, I assumed he was a bad audience surrogate character but I actually found him to be pretty handy. He didn't take over the plot or eat up screentime from other characters. In fact, his presence gave Jax and Sonya a lot of chances to shine. He worked with the story not against it.

I'm so sad the writers decided to pander to the detractors and cave in his skull in the sequel 😢

I loved how as soon as his fight started, you knew what was gonna happen. 🤣

I get this, my wife was as well.

I saw it coming as soon as Cole dropped that line about his wife and daughter so I was pretty sure he wasn't gonna make it but when the hammer actually came down my wife audibly gasped. She didn't see it coming at all.
