But in the movie, they changed that spear on a rope into a living snake-like creature.

That's a choice.

i agree it is not good i think it's not quite as bad as the reptile cgi but it's bad

Oh, the reptile CGI is the worst.

Okay, but here we're in the belly of the boat, this weird creaky boat, and the ninjas are about to kill our heroes.

So what's going to happen?

How are they done for?

No, they are saved by divine intervention.

Lord Raiden appears.

Christophe Lambert, like, he shoots down into the hold of the boat in some ball of energy form, and then he zaps both of the ninjas into submission.

He says something like, your sideshow freaks attack my fighters before the tournament?

This is cheating!

And Shang Tsung, he's very smooth, and he just promises, oh, it won't happen again, Lord Raiden.

But he reminds Raiden that once they reach the island, Raiden will have no power.

So I think the lore is that here Raiden is serving a kind of referee role.

Like he can't fight in the tournament himself, but he is allowed to intervene to keep things fair according to the rules of the tournament endorsed by the emperor, which include the provision that you can't have random supernatural ninjas kill all the earth fighters before you even get to the tournament.

I don't know why the emperor endorses these rules or thinks he needs to play fair.

Do you understand that?

Um, no,

Yeah.
