When Raiden said: “HE MUST WIN!” We all knew he was talking about Reptile, I mean who else could he have been talking about?
Based
And by "win" he meant "get a lot more fanarts on rule 34"
It is possibly the worst message ever
@@hustler666100you got one that's better?
@@vikinggamer7727 Well he didn't even understand the message. Was only the Amulet cracking that he got lucky.
Raiden: "You fought well."
Johnny: "Hey, thanks. Nice hat." :)
Liu: >:(
Liu: THE DISRESPECT
>:^{
@@Lord_Of_Eggs Like, I could understand if Johnny was being a sarcastic dick, but Johnny's delivery sounds like he genuinely likes Raiden's hat.
@@ericchung3177 who doesn't? His hat is a wonderful piece of art
@@Lord_Of_Eggsthat hat is Earthrealm's hat
Johnny’s “nice hat” to Raiden sounded so genuine. That’s just wholesome.
As a Kung Lao fan, I completely agree with your take on his death in MK9. It was a shocking AND meaningful, showing that Shao is an ever bigger douche than we believed, and maybe that he was afraid he would get defeated by him. Too bad after this Kung Lao's entielre personality becomes narcissist and weak revenant in the next games, with a few short exceptions with his younger self in MK11.
The concept of it was really good in theory, but it really could’ve executed better. Like you’re telling me that really nobody saw a big, chunky, 7ft man sneaking right behind a guy who’s like two feet shorter? And judging by the direction they were facing, it makes it even more unbelievable. Like why not have Shao utilize his magic he was implied dozens of times that he could use? Why not have Shang Tsung kill him with his magic? Hell, why not have Mileena or even Skarlet kill Kung Lao by either teleporting behind him and biting his head off or using his own blood against him? That way it can make either one of them finally get a W in this stupid, devoid of logic timeline and it can kill off Kung Lao in a way more believable, unavoidable way.
Problem is , it makes Shao Kahn a petulant crybaby rather than a badass evil emperor. Hell, if they made him smirk at Kung Lao's prowess and then fight him to show how overpowered he is before executing him, then it'd be meaningful and threatening.
@@ghost19101That's the point. He approached non-threateningly, slowly then BLAMMO.
but like raiden was looking at kung lao how did he not see shao kahn get up and slowly creep up to him and if he did see it did he just wanna see what shao kahn would do?
Stryker dying to Sindel in 2 hits is extra stupid when you remember that this guy defeated Ermac, Kintaro, Reptile, and Mileena within the span of half an hour, and then dies immediately after going into melee range when he has and is known for using his gun.
But actual fights are full of cheap shots and ignoble deaths. You could say Caesar, great warrior and general, going down to pudgy old politicians doesn't make sense. But that's just how death happens 🎉
Yeah and sub zero beat Goro and Kintaro at the same time and died from one uppercut.
Also Stryker had the ultimate overpowered weapon
TAZER
@@jackalcoyote8777 Ermac throwing Stryker down a subway at like 60 mph is also a cheap shot yet Stryker survived that. It’s not about real life or cheap shots at this point dude, the point is Stryker tanked crazier shit in the story mode yet Sindel punched him in the face and he died. Realism doesn’t really exist when these characters can break each others bones in a million different ways and get back up and continue fighting as if nothing happened dawg. Unless Sindel threw a knife down his esophagus or something, the way Stryker died is stupid.
@@MonkeyManPrime64exactly
Fun fact about Scorpion being gone for 8 chapters, in MKvsDC, the previous game, his rival is the Flash, who also was gone for many chapters. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!
Now I'm picturing the flash just running all over the place, dragon scorpion behind him from his kunai spear stuck in his shoulder.
Se hicieron mates, burritos de bebés y se besaron apasionada mente
Hey a Incredibles movie reference 👍🏻
Flash's rival is Scorpion? Why not Kabal? That seems like the obvious choice, right?
@@lucasdellamaggiore Kabal wasn’t in MKvsDC. Yes, he was mentioned when Kano met Flash in comparison to him, but as far as the story was concerned, Kabal likely disappeared from the merging.
Ah yes MK9. The game when the heroes play fair and die for it but the villains constantly lose or break the rules and the Elder Gods just decide “yeah that’s ok.”
i freaking hated this!
yeah congratulations that's what the entire MK franchuse is known for. While Earthrealm is possed as being forced to follow every rule to scrutiny, outworld can do whatever the fuck it wants. It's always been a tbing lol
I hated that💀
TECHNICALLY, the villains followed the rules. The elder gods explain in MK9 that you must win the tournament to MERGE the realms. Mere conquering is okay, tournament or not.
At the end, Shao Khan DID attempt to merge earthrealm, which is why the Elder gods killed him at the very end of the game.
Also a small joke regarding Jade:
"What do you think? Racist or mommy?"
"Mommy."
"Dressed like THAT?"
"DEFINITELY mommy."
Definitely housemaid
maga hat probably
I always found it hilarious how, throughout most of the game, Kitana genuinely thought that her father Shao Kahn, conqueror of worlds, owner of slaves and gladiatorial arenas, with a policy of honor in death after failure, was a benevolent ruler and loving father and thus revealed to him Shang Tsung's cloning experiments of her because she thought that he, Shao Kahn, conqueror of worlds, owner of slave armies and dresser of eomen in skimpy outfits, with a policy of absorbing the souls of the people he kills, would disapprove of such inhumane experiments done behind his back (Shao Kahn placed the order in the first place)
Like, she's not even brainwashed in this continuity. She genuinely believed all of that for ten thousand years (or one thousand years, idk anymore. F*ck you MK11)
That's what blind love and loyalty for someone can do to people. And he doesn't force the women to dress like that. Who told you this BS?
@@insertname9736 No. Its just steaight up stupid and terrible story writings
Wait, one thousand years? When did that happen?
@@stefanradebach2889 if you know the lore, and you're asking why it's now one thousand years instead of ten thousand years like in the original, it's because Aftermath made it seem like Shao Kahn conquering Edenia, taking Sindel and Kitana as his wife and daughter and Sindel's death all happened a thousand years before the start of the series rather than ten thousand years, like in the original timeline/lore
If you're asking instead how can it be that it's one thousand years, canonically all other realm denizens live for thousands of years.
What makes you think that Shao Khan would approve of Shang Tsung making monstreous clones of his daughter behind his back?
That's the situation that Kitana has seen, would you assume that your dad is behind it in her position?
Shao Khan clearly was not a terrible father because the writers had to turn his brain off for Kitana to realise he is evil
I still remember Raiden's line after Kung Lao's death.
"I will strip the flesh from your bones!"
MF was about to violate the MK rules AND Shao Kahn.
Raiden throwing caution to the wind and going all out on Shao Kahn here would have been so satisfying. Dude’s pretty scary when he’s not holding back even Liu Kang can’t beat him.
Or it should’ve been a tag team thing where you play as both Raiden and Liu Kang, using the tag mechanic in game to help take out Shao Khan.
@@pearsemolloy9656Dark Raiden shoud've been the main villain of MK11.
King Lao was like a son to Raiden 😢
@@bigballzmcdrawz2921nah not the villain. I loved how he was the tyrannical protector, finally not showing mercy anymore after being taken advantage of for so long.
I love how johnny cage gets ready to fight sindel with no glasses and then when he engages her, boom, sunglasses
I was thinking of pointing that out. But I think this happens multiple times in the story. So I didn't wanna bother XD
Smoke won alone against Kitana
Few chapters later
Kitana defeated Smoke while Johnny Cage is with him.
Damn how did she become so strong in such a short time?
None of it makes sense because of the chapter based story mode, a character not losing at all in their own chapter really introduces plot holes in the story
I like how the “He Must Win” comes full circle in Mk11 Aftermath, where Liu Kang lets Shang Tsung wield the crown against Kronika, then kills Shang Tsung.
And Liu Kang tells this to Fujin and not Raiden. Perhaps, after learning what would be happening to himself if Kronika didn't intervene, Liu Kang learned that cryptical visions are best kept a secret from Raiden.
@@llSuperSnivylltoo be fair...Fujin is just Raiden who relises on himself...NOT THE ELDER GODS
@@deyontemyers4109nobody:
Raiden: “I must consult with the elder gods”
@@llSuperSnivyllyeah, Fujin following Shang's plan makes sense, but Raiden being cool with Shang's involvement would be very suspicious.
@@deyontemyers4109 Fujin is Raiden, just not an idiot
I agree wholeheartedly with your take on Kung Lao's death. It shows that for how powerful and intimidating Shao Kahn is, he's also a petty bitch when he doesn't get his way. His lineup got defeated by some Shaolin nobody and his response is "Nuh-uh, you didn't win! You didn't win!"
Plus, Shao Kahn was always a piece of shit anyways. Killing Kung Lao like this while being incredibly sudden is no exception, and matches perfectly with what Shao Kahn would do. This is the same guy that ended up using a loophole in the rules of Mortal Kombat to invade Earthrealm and tried to merge it together with Outworld once almost all his enemies were gone. He literally even confessed to Kung Lao when he fights him in MK11 Aftermath that he was gonna kill him before the time squabble happened.
I like the idea of it happening because it’s exactly what Shao Kahn would do, but the execution could’ve been done a lot better because him sneaking up behind Kung Lao because somehow nobody was able to see a 7 foot, three hundred pound man sneaking behind a guy much smaller and skinnier than him was just BS writing and it’s just sad for a series as big as Mortal Kombat to have such dipshit storytelling. Why not just utilize his powerful magic he implied to have knowing like soul or blood magic? Why not just rig the tournament since the start and make the Outworlders win? Why not have Shang Tsung or any other Outworlders kill him sneakily with magic or with something else that isn’t BS logic? Hell why not have Mileena teleport on his back and bite his head off? That would make his death seem a lot more impactful because it would’ve been something that was completely unavoidable instead of just “because the plot needs it” and trying to justify the death he could’ve easily avoided had someone said something about Shao Kahn being right behind him unless Shao Kahn can now turn invisible or teleport for some unexplainable reason and it would finally give Mileena a W in this timeline despite it not being a true fight but that’s what bad guys do: they play dirty and unfairly and she’s supposed to be Shao Kahn’s heir and assassin.

Kitana doesn't even feel like a real word anymore 😢
The word Kitana gets repeated a lot, doesn’t it?

I don’t feel like anyone’s said this but props to Sonic for animating the hit the target targets in the Sindel segment that seemed like it took ages to do
Thanks! It took 14 hours XD
@@SonicHaXDMan you didn't needed to but just the fact you went the extra mile to do that deserves my respect
@@SonicHaXD I respect your commitment to the bit. I’ve done loads of edits like that and I know the pain
I was immensely satisfied, got hyped for the edit since seeing the community post 😂 Love the melee target test LOL
@@SonicHaXDHot damn! Sonic, you just don't half-ass yoir videos!
Nice.
52:53-54:00 Pure gold, the moment the targets pop up I couldn't, and not to mention the editing here was perfect.
No joke, I couldn't breathe during this while fighting with the targets and sindel using the heart from jade as the healing item from Smash. As a huge Smash fan myself, I approve of this message.
It’s not even funny
@@Dmog97sure
I can't get over the fact that everyone has multiple targets on their faces and then there's Smoke with a target on his groin.
The existence of such a target implies Johnny Cage needs practice to hit that target XD
Thing that might have made the Sindel massacre more palatable would be if it swapped player control to her and you fought the heroes. Wouldn't solve the narrative issues all those deaths creates, but it would make Sindel's win feel earned.
Probably also have it happen with the attack to make it feel better with it being one by one.
She deserved her own chapter right there!
Either that, or actually show her being juiced up. Shit like levitating and making the entire building go down with her screams while her hair engulfes and crushes people.
Just punching people to death (and with blowns that lack weight and impact) is so underwhelming
The scene makes sense in canon, but from a narrative pov, sucks ass
Can't believe it got much worse
Shao Kahn: *kills Kung Lao*
Raiden: *I WILL REAP THE FLESH FRIM YOUR BONES*
Liu Kang: *attacks Shao Kahn*
Raiden: oh ok
To this day, I still think Stryker's chapter is the best in the entire game.
41:42
Stryker: You are coming with me
*Cyberpunk 2077 theme plays*
Johnny not realizing this tournament is a fight to the death is a funny joke, however this leads to many questions when Johnny stars in a movie. Does he go this hard when he makes a movie? Like does Johnny actually beat the hell out of stunt people in his films? How many stunt people are in the hospital after staring in one of Johnny's movies?
By how hard he probably goes, none end up in a hospital
They end up in heaven
*Headlines*
"Johnny Cage Sued for Brutal Method Acting!"
I don't think he goes quite as hard since he does think this is a fighting tournament so he can go out and use real hits
@@lightdarksoul2097Yeah. I'd like to imagine he holds back like Bruce Lee did when filming but is actually fully capable of hurting people with his martial arts. He's also probably like Jackie Chan very athletic enough doing his own stunts.
Considering that Johnny joins the tournament just to prove that his abilities are not special effects... let's just say that insurance companies must hate him.
Sindels back up and jump kick into Kitanas face was BRUTAL😭
Maybe she was meant to be Liu Kang's Mother in law lol 😅
nah, smoke's leg up the nuts is 💀
A New RECORD!
The thing people hate about kung Laos death isn’t that he died but how he died like how tf did shao Khan sneak up on him in an open area and nobody saw it
exactly
3:50 I love this moment in the video. Every time I lose to Shao Kahn due to his cheap overpowered shoulder charge, this video comes to my mind.
Friend or foe?
*Sees Kitana*
Housemaid, definitely housemaid.
I couldn't stop laughing when I first witnessed Kitana's attempt on Liu Kang's life cuz how do you fumble that badly💀💀
Goofy aaahhh fight 💀
@@pedrokkj-_- show me more 🤪🤪
Tbh it is liu kang 😂
She was not putting her soul into it. She had so many chances to kill him, and she didn’t take them
Liu Kang played with her like she was a two year old attacking him for fun
I'm surprised you didn't mention another good part in kung lao's death. Just as shao kahn cheated, raiden was so furious, this rule abiding boy scout would have broken the rules and directly combated shao with his raw as fuck line had liu not jumped in.
“Shao Kahn is the victor because he kept spamming his bullshit shoulder bash” kills me every time.
I love how sassy some of the characters are in this game. Especially Smoke dropping the "housemaid" bomb on Kitana lmao.
"Sleep well princess"
To be fair she was a house maid compared to Milena
Jokes aside, Kitana's actress did a great job in this game. Also did a great job with showing her emotions pretty well with her eyes. In fact, all characters/ninjas show more emotion than the others even though they have masks on
She also did an amazing job with Mileena. I really wish they had kept her for 11 and 12.
I really wish she at least got to reprise her role for Mileena. I like Khari Walgren as Kitana, but her Mileena feels a little too much for me.
@@redgrave4492agreed even though I prefer Karen Strassmen as both characters having her as Mileena with Kari Wahlgren as Kitana would have been a good compromise.
@@redgrave4492 Kari Wahlgren's a phenomenal actress and she does a great job for Kitana, but I still feel like Karen Straussman is the better Kitana and Mileena. Karen's Mileena voice is still impetuous and ragged, but toned back enough that it isn't overboard, while Kari just sounds like a bad Rita Repulsa impression.
@@redgrave4492 I agree with you, Karen's Kitana was so-so that I like Kari's take more but her Mileena was a lot better. Unfortunately Karen's a garbage person irl so that could be a reason why she wasn't asked to return for 11.

@@galanga21890 ...I need better grammar
I'm glad you talked about the moment where you play Liu Kang after Kung Lao's death. I always hated how NRS stories are just 4 fights with 1 character per chapter, and then you never play that character again, it just made fights feel forced and breaks the flow. I wish they just go with "Whoever makes sense to play as to progress the story".
I prefer the chapter system to Konquest, but I do agree with this. Because of the way the chapters play out, it causes the story to feel confined
@@j.i.nthenobody54Honestly, the best way is for there to be chapters but it shouldnt be designated to a specific character.
@@rafayhaya7727 I agree
Don't say stupid things.
Como hicieron y aparecio Sindel en el capítulo de Fujin en MK11.
I couldn't agree more on your take with Kung Lao's death. As a kid when I played MK9 this scene felt like it came out of left field, and switching to Liu Kang felt awesome, I was ready to avenge my fallen brother.
27:55 Am I the only one concerned with how Smoke managed to defeat Kitana alone, but lost to her, when paired with Johnny Cage, in one day? Is Johnny that much of a hindrance?
Its like Jhonny only talked while Smoke was fighting 😀
No, it's definitely weird but a mindset plays as much apart of a fight as anything.
Just watching this turned me from Noob Saibot into Pro Saibot, thanks guys!

Actually felt bad for Kitana in mk9 and smoke

His reaction on not practicing Kabal is the golden moment in this video
40:42 That whole reptile scene had me dead 😂😂😂 The yoshi tongue 😂😂
20:15
I had a strange bug in my game, where it used Jax's "Damn you're ugly." Instead of Raiden saying his line.
I laughed so hard, when I first heard this, because I thought Jax just straight up insulted Raiden 😂
Im pretty sure Jax say that to Baraka. But I don't have mk9.
Calling out the plothole that Raiden could do his "Thunderhand Massages" to heal Kitana & Liu Kang, thus ending their NetherRealm storyline as Revenants was a excellent point. Thanks
Yea I didn’t even know that
@volktol4432 yeah a counter argument would be that Raiden can't interfere during Mortal Kombat & Liu/Kitana were given fatal blows during Mortal Kombat, though.
Kitana i understand, but Could lighting cure damage made with lighting?
@shawerful5209 If Raiden can Thunderhand Massage Jax at 12:30, he can use Thunderhand Massage anytime. Raiden is the Earthrealm god of Thunder & Lightning & this is a man-made fantasy where concepts like time-travel, teleportation, necromancy, reincarnation & biological energy projection exist.
36:34, I love how The4thSnake just busts into the room like a god damn psychopath after hearing that.
I always thought the power scaling in these games was strange. Like somehow nightwolf gets his ass beat by scorpion but then later owns Sindel, and smoke can go against Shang Tsung and reptile but fails against Jade. Maybe it was the developers way of implementing character development but it felt weird.
I think the different kombatants have their strengths and weaknesses. Since scorpion uses mostly physical attacks together with fire magic and fights in a certain martial style, it might be harder for nightwolf to counter. When they fight with Sindel you can see it right away, that everybody else is affected by Sindels scream besides nightwolf - probably his connection to the great spirit.
53:25 that kick was killed all smoke jr
Jax isn't dead, just has ripped off arms
It’s crazy how many characters in this game are jobbers
It turns out when you have to fit 24 different characters into a story where people are constantly fighting, some people aren't going to win as much
@@Yougotcaged102Ok but Kano hasn't canonically won a story mode fight in the netherrealm era.
@@xylynthian753 Neither has Baracka, Erron Black, Skarlet, Mileena, Reptile, or Quan Chi, just to name a few. Like I said, some characters are just gonna have to lose. Look at it from a developer's perspective. You have a finite amount of resources for animation, voice acting, choreography, writing, keeping it all within a 5-6 hour story and having to manage nearly 30 characters within that time frame. So why should you, as the Developer, allocate some of these finite resources to giving the villain characters a few extra wins when it does nothing to progress the story and takes away time you could be using to develop the actual overarching plot? I know it sucks that the villains seem less threatening as a results. But when you have to mix in so many villains and heroes into one story while trying to further along the main plot, you have to understand it's not as simple as "we made the bad guys jobbers because lol"
Raiden shows up, moans, refuses to elaborate, leaves
god that's so funny omg
Thank you. I'm really proud of that joke XD
The fact that the poker joke had an origin story shows how important it truly is to the mk lore
53:17
I’ve heard that blows like that are lethal because enough force in that direction jams the broken nose bone backwards into your brain. And at this point she is so strong those blows are like cannon balls. Brutal stuff. Got nothing for Cyber Sub Zero though lmao
Ok but this is the franchise where people are kinda notorious for walking off fatal wounds. For a game as gory as Mortal Kombat, you'd think they'd atleast give him a proper bloody death
@@Yougotcaged102I mean this is a story mode cutscene, things are just generally more “realistic”.
Even if you look closely, it's fashionable to see that after Sindel's blow, Stryker's face turned into a bloody mess.
I get that the story isn't very good but the overall product is still one of the best in the genre. Challenge tower & tag team alone keep this game above other recent fighters, specifically MK11 & especially Tekken 7.
I still very much prefer the look of this game before they started going more photo-realistic and lost some of that cartoony flare in favor of too much distracting detail on everything.
Funny thing is the story is literally the best storytelling in ANY Mortal Kombat game.
That's how you know your franchise has poor storytelling
lmao Tekken 7 shits all over this game.
@@KorruptedFlame yes with it's lack of content & even worse story.
Pile of shit doesn't even have a survival mode & doesn't feature anything else to make up for it.
@@leonlegendtekken 7 gameplay is thousand times better than mk games
1:27 This is peak censorship and it irritates me that it's not common.
29:43 And that tarkatan blasts Baraka by accident with a shotgun.
Shao Khan beating Onaga, running back to thr Pyramid, killing everyone else and killing Blaze is really odd but thats not what bothers me the most. What boggles my mind is that Shang Tsung gives Shao Khan a very basic kick and that gives Shao Khan hella stun damage enough to be caught by Onaga. Its the most basic kick you can ever see and one of the top OG MK villans gets stun locked from it for like 4 seconds
It gets absurd when you realised Shang Tsung 1 shotted Shujinko, sending him flying like a cannon ball with 1 normal punch lol.
I guess Shang was the most skilled fighter of Armageddon in the old timeline. He even learned his lesson when going against Quan Chi again by shape-shifting into Ermac to defeat him.
Also, how does Liu Kang's chainhooks kill Shang from catching him in the shoulders? Who killed Liu Kang? Why was Raiden fighting Shao Khan when they had already struck a deal? Did Onaga die? Did Shao Kahn kill Taven? How did the MK9 writers leave so many plotholes?
@@vijzon3223 99% of those plotholes are sealed. Il tell later.
@@vijzon3223 For 1, we don't know if it was Liu Kang's body who absorbed his souls somehow, aging Shang Tsung to death or the transformation of Blaze that evaporated the souls within Shang Tsung which aged him to death. It's unclear how he died in the end. Shang Tsung killed Liu Kang at the intro of MK5/ MK Deadly Alliance with Quan Chi's help after he escaped the Netherealm. With Quan Chi who landed a backstab hit at Liu Kang, stunning him, Shang Tsung was able to snap his neck, killing the champion. Raiden and Shao Kahn fought each other probably because Raiden got his head snapped back to normal Raiden after Taven beaten his ass and made him think rationally. Yes, Onaga was killed by Shao Kahn and his death can only be blamed by only Onaga himself because he sent the battle between he and Shao Kahn to where Shao Kahn wanted him to be which Goro was waiting there to assist Shao Kahn and kill Onaga, which in the end they succeed. This was shown in MK Deception but we don't know if it's canon or not, for now it stays as the logical answer to how Shao Kahn killed Onaga and Goro's absence(not entirely since he was guarding a place and got his ass whooped by Taven.) Now did Shao Kahn killed Taven? There are 2 outcomes to this. Either Shao Kahn killed Blaze and killed Taven or Taven DID killed Blaze but the power up upon killing Blaze powered up Shao Kahn and the kombatants caused most of them to kill each other with most of them to die by Shao Kahn's hammer as Taven became a full god, trying to find a solution to weaken the remaining surviving kombatants until Raiden resetted the timeline.
@@alphaisyeeting4880we don't see taven body
Lui Kang really started doubting Raiden because a girl he finds hot and knew for like 5 minutes was put in danger.
You just can’t find a good apprentice nowadays.
Boys will be boys
Um, that's like.. one of the at least ten reasons Liu Kang started doubting Raiden
@@thegrandpowerchannel314 When obvious joke apparently isn’t obvious enough-
And let’s be honest… having that be one of the reasons at all doesn’t make someone look any better.
Lui kang 😆
@@thegrandpowerchannel3141/10 reasons is one reason too many
33:29 so did raiden not see Shao coming to kill Lao, or is all that thunder making Raiden blind
The main issue with Netherrealm games is how the characters have their power tier changed every chapter. The worst contender is actually Bi-Han. Bro has beaten all 4 Elder Gods, beat Scorpion twice, tricked Shinnok and in this game he loses to Sonya meaning she's stronger than all 4 Elder Gods and Scorpion. Which in turn means that Sonya is stronger than Kitana, who in MK11 blinds Shao Kahn so she's stronger than Shao Kahn and this goes on and on.
And another issue with them is that they reintroduce older characters or literally come up with the most creative characters conceptually, Kotal being the poster child for that, but then they just don’t know what to do with them other than turning them into jobbers throughout the whole story in the games and it’s just annoying at this point for all the fans of those characters, myself included. Not to mention they also just constantly forget what the characters can and can’t do like Sonya fighting both Kanos and somehow ambushing him when there were two of them and he literally has a eye that can *shoot lasers* and see through walls, D’Vorah executing Mileena the way she did was frankly stupid since Mileena could’ve literally bitten D’Vorah’s face off and take her down with her and I swear that’s the *only* reason they gave her lips in that game, and Kotal for some reason not healing himself with his *solar* powers which I’m pretty sure the games said he could use and not using his blood magic he could use in both this game, MKX, and the comics in the *Sea of Blood* in Mk Aftermath and the list just goes on and on and on.
Those 4 beings Bi-Han defeated in Mythologies were not the Elder Gods but just Gods who are a tier lower and weaker than they are, Fujin was one of them and he aint an Elder God...but i still see what you mean tho.
@@MetallicMadness85 that is true, however my point still stands. Bi Han was very high on the tier list due to the fact that he either beat or outsmarted his opponents. Proceeds to lose to fucking Sonya Blade.
@@Kek393 Only for then to be murdered in the most fatherless way possible by Scorpion.
It's to create some kind of fairness and make it a lil bit more realistic because losing to someone doesn't necessarily mean you're weaker than them, it can happen. Still, I agree that having stuff like mf Cassie Cage defeating Corrupted Shinnok in MKX and Liu Kang in MK11 but barely beating Kano is ridiculous
Also, the final battle in this game FEELS like the final battle. Especially with the Outworld buildings appearing in the background of the rooftop. The stages tell a story in themselves. I really wish they would have brought that back.
funny how despite all the plot holes and dumb villain moments this story got, it still manages to be better than the story from the following games, at least MK9 didn't retcon Sindel.
0:36 His face in this part reminds me of JobbyTheHong
11:06 such sudden using of scene from John Wick 4 caught me off guard tbh xd
15:35 THATS WHY RAIDEN IS THE GOAT,THE GOAT.
Bro Raiden was a savage thats why Raiden is my favorite character
Kano hanging out with kitana and jade is cute, they seem really engrossed by the conversation.
He's telling them about Australia and what they got like their barbecues and their national bird and how they lost a war to it and talking about the jellyfishes they get and how they are pretty much the worst
Kano being popular with kitana and Jade is a interesting idea
I like how no one talks about the pure disrespect sindel gave smoke or Sonya.
30:27 Is no one going to talk about the fact that Sheeva turned into her alternate costume after being defeated?
Interesting thing: Kung Lao lost in the first tournament to Scorpion. Liu Kang beating him (and Quan Chi) proves he's better than Kung Lao. It helps set up... whatever it was you were rambling about there.
The wee little Gigimon character was really flippin' cute. I hope you use him more often down the line!
Doing "Scary Monsters" as Reptile aged perfectly tbh
Cause of his true form in MK1?
@@dylansharp8471 yeah
I honestly think that the MK3 portion of the game was super rushed. They did good on 1&2 but 3 screams from time limit.
I liked this story except the part where sindel just comes in the room and kills almost everyone
i love the callback to the Reptile dialogue to Shang Tsung 21:01
Same cant remember what video it was first in but I remember it was from one of the pool table moments
As a big MKvsDC player, MK9 felt like a natural sequel with all of the connections. They even announced Reptile and Mileena first due to their notable absence in MKvsDC.
Bro just ruined my teen years with that title
Same
And just like always, Sonic’s MK Thumbnails don’t fail to make me laugh. Everyone’s faces are hilarious, especially Raiden’s “No Eldergods?” face.
that "who is that?" at 47:41 made me laugh so hard:D I didn't remember that line:D
10:22 really like the voice effects used here, for some reason 😅
33:08
This is the best SpongeBob reaction ever😂😂😂😂
9:39 yes I love this line from Johnny , and I did get chills 😭 I loved the mk9 story (up until you know what happens …) but the things I love the most outside of this are like the game modes . Test your sight , arcade tower AND FUCKIN TAG ASSISTS TOWERS THAT NEED TO COME BACK !!! I also loved every single arena in this game and the pit, the church themed arena, shang tsungs garden and the living Forrest were my absolute favorite, ALONG WITH THE MUSIC oh my gosh it’s just ..nostalgic 🥺❤️
“Fighting shah Kahn took over 12 overs?” Well for me it did
32:00
Raidens powers are weaker in outworld preventing from teleporting
Well...that's not a bad explanation. But Raiden teleported in Outworld multiple times though XD
@@SonicHaXD atleast in the original movie he said his powers are limited in outworld
The target editing is amazing. Especially when you go back and realize that you prepared all of the targets before Sindel broke them.
Neat fact I never realized until later: Kabal's voice actor, David Lodge, is the same actor who plays Jeralt in Fire Emblem. Which is kind of cool because you can definitely hear Jeralt in some of Kabal's lines before he gets burned and has the voice-effect.
Leonie approves.
Rhea:
Jeralt: Friend or foe?
Byleth (Crimson Flower route only): Foe
Jeralt: Dressed like that?
Byleth: definitely foe
@@ElecWoods-rd3qq Please don’t try to start 3H discourse on my comment.

He alr tried 🗿
34:08 Never expected to hear the Nikke menu ost but here we are.
44:27 is the CLOSEST MATCH I HAVE EVER SEEN!!
52:40 This entire sequence is just incredible, bravo
52:53 Can we talk about how well made this Smash Bros edit is? XD
Not sure if this is a Mandela effect but I remember Kratos being frozen in this shot specifically 24:03 anyone else?
21:14 Comedy Gold.
1:58 Until MK1, he is playable in story mode.
20:44 Baraka had a few hours to recover and put on his white tank top, remember that Raiden beat him up and then sent Lui Kang and Kung Lao after the second ship, while he headed to the tournament
35:31 I honestly agree with you on Kung Lao
38:52 Quan Chi was playing 5D chess, he killed Sindel and made the barrier to cover up the murder, then planned to later use Sindel’s revival to goad Shao Kahn into invading…the fact that this 5D chess plan is the ONLY POSSIBLE way the retcon works is unjustifiably terrible
50:11 yea!
57:22 filming cooking with Scorpion of course
1:00:34 only works on elder gods….I guess
1:00:58 shao khan’s most badass moment!!
Stryker: "Police brutality coming right up!"
Jax: "Bring it on!"
