Right? The traditional depiction of Kahn sees him as a borderline retarded brute with anger issues. Easily enraged, and no real planning. Just brute force his way through his problems. Typically to his own downfall. However, this depiction actually is a tactical genius. Still a ruthless brute, but more calculating and manipulative. And I love it. Also, this version of his mask absolutely slaps.
@@darthkynreeve I don't even think it was contempt. If anything, I think Kahn was simply annoyed by Scorpion's disrespect and arrogance. After all, what's the point of being emperor if nobody treats you like one? 💀
My absolute favorite Shao Kahn. Loved Jeffrey Meek's choice of voice for the character here. He's not constantly bellowing. You almost expect him to start announcing round numbers or names from the character roster because he's really going in hard on the soft spoken yet dark and menacing MK2/3/trilogy voice for Kahn, and nailing it. Of course, when he did bellow in other episodes of this show, he was terrifying because you knew heads were going to roll.
Why the hell did we not have this Shao Kahn in annihilation? he would have made that piece of shit film watchable. I just love how the actor showed his anger while keeping in character how much Kahn gives almost no fucks about Earthrealm because in the end, it's just another world to conquer like all the others.
Looking back this is why this Shao Kahn feels more menacing, he holds so much power in Outworld, he does not have to fight with those powers. He chooses to fight for fun as the warlord he is. Unlike other versions of Shao Kahn where he gets defeated by anyone so easily (cough cough MK11 cough cough). This Shao Kahn could challenge the Elder Gods, and rival Darkseid, or Superman only to have this series' Raiden to match him (which actually happens in the show, amazing fight btw).
Shao Kahn seemingly had too much magical pwrs for most characters to match - practically a more powerful/stronger version of Shang Tsung and Quan Chi Only characters to match/surpass him are the Gods (Raiden) and Elder Gods/Titans etc Kreeya and her minions were cool, but needed relics to barely handle Shang Tsung. Kahn's Shadow Priests alone eventually handled everyone under God-tier levels by the end ✊️
Lol true. Since this was suppose to be a prequel series to the 90s films (with original Kung Lao) I would sometimes just imagine Brian Thompson version *behind the mask/helmet, b4 he gradually grows more insane by Annihilation (his Armageddon ending mentions something similar 😅)
I like that actor as shao kahn. He plays good as shao kahn all badass. Sadly he just needed the helmet not that bootlegged Halloween mask but i like this shao kahn

Shao Kahn is great evil emperor who is able to defy not only the Elder God s of Mortal Kombat universe but also to defy Thanos of Marvel Cinematic Universe, and also to defy Zeno and Great Priest of Dragon Ball multiverse. Shao kahn is also my favorite , I hope NetherRealm Studios and Ed Boon to make the supreme evil emperor Shao kahn as more powerful being in Mortal Kombat 11.
And I like that despite all of that, he does care about Kitana. In the final episode when recalls everyone’s deaths to Raiden, Kahn sounds remorseful when he talks about Kitana. He didn’t want to have her killed, but he knew that it had to be done. Comes with the burden of being a tyrant: everyone is your enemy.
I couldn't help but be distracted by the fact that Scorpion's numbers in that episode were not really growing. I mean, he'd get like two guys and kill more of his own dudes than the good guys would
Just a small tid bit. The actor who played Rayden Jeff Meek, also played Shao Khan. In my books he's rayden is second to chris lambert but has gave the best portrayal of Shao Khan by far.
Who could have thought shay Khan and raiden are the same person?! ..this actor played amazingly well the 2 characters...how a great series got cut short ??
0:22 scorpion: to do what you could not: fight in the earthrealm and turn them into warriors. Shao Kahn: look, watch your mouth, okay? that’s number one. Number two: I found YOU.
@raeven1212, for the same reason why four shokan beasts are afraid of him. Kahn can steal your soul in less than 5 seconds. He doesnt even need to fight, but he does just to get a laugh at how hard people fail at trying to beat him sometimes.
Wow, such um, greeeat..acting. Shao Kahn just seems sooooo pissed. And Scorpion is just sooooo rebellious. I was totally sold by these Oscar-winning performances.
Sub-Zero was being turned into some kind of ultimate warrior and Earthrealm defender in his game around the same time. It's only fair Scorpi-boy got the same kind of spotlight.
Shao Kahn shows who the boss is around here he definitely best shao kahn and can't leave out person behind the scenes made his script did awsome Job not mention special effects for his throne room
Can’t remember actors name but he also plays the bad criminal in Combra with Stallone,Hercules,and many others he is so fun to watch even when he plays the bad character.
Only thing I didn't like about him was that his shadow priest knew more dark magic than he did and that he used a sword instead of his trademark wrath hammer.
the elder gods were best fighters best warriers ove there time and ruled all realms even earth but like all elder gods sit back in there temple key to owning realms is have all powerful abilites.it was only earth realm that had greatest and richest of power beyond any conquer would ever dream getting hands on and it was shao kahn alone conqured all realms to be so powerful as he as become but it was earth that was greatest place to take.
Shao Khan is supreme emperor of evil, I want him to be one of main antagonists of Crossover series In the near future with Mechikabura, Garlic Jr., and Frieza from Dragon Ball multiverse. Aku from Samurai Jack universe. Ivan Ooze and Dark Specter from Power Rangers universe, and Thanos from Marvel Cinematic Universe It would be super awesome.
@PsychoProductions369 1)Hadn't found him yet. 2) Was probably still on the soap General Hospital 3)He's not really as imposing as Thompson who was 6'3 at the time, and he probably would look kind of odd in Kahn's other armor, since it was just like the other costumes in the movie, a warped version of the game counterpart. 4) Thompson's not that bad, at least not usually.
@PsychoProductions369 I think it was due to the way Annihilation was written, since he seen being jovial in most of the scenes...Did you him in Joe Dirt, "You have no idea what kind of hell I can unleash upon you!!" funny shit
This rendition of Shao Khan easily topples every other incarnation, including the recent games. Not just in abilities, but in character as well.
ikr!! "You can be returned to your agony at any time... creature." 😵🔥🔥

Nah, Brian Thompson fit him so well.
He was so good the writers made him win in the end :))
This one was way better than the one from Annihilation. He would of been perfect for the movie.
This show had a beast master/xena/hercules vibe to it.
I loved being a kid in the 90s

Also far better from the dumbass brute in video game who wants to "make outworld great again."
LOL He gave that "ima fuck you up later" kind of bow to shao khan.
in the end shao kahn fucked up everybody :)) hahah THE BEST
We never saw Scorpion nor Subzero face the Shadow Priests in the finale.

Did y'all know that this actor played both shao Kahn n raiden in this series his name is Jeffrey Meek great actor
Really?????

@@MarcusSingletaryDMV I've heard the theory that this timeline wasn't perfect in terms of the balance of good and evil, so Kronika erased it.

Jeff meek was the best shao kahn of my opinion, in mortal kombat conquest he played as raiden and shao kahn.
Darth shao khan
This the Shao Khan we deserved in MK Annihilation
Lol true. Since this was suppose to be a prequel series to the 90s films (with original Kung Lao) I would sometimes just imagine Brian Thompson version *behind the mask/helmet, b4 he gradually grows more insane by Annihilation (his Armageddon ending mentions something similar 😅)
The best Shao Kahn to date!!!
He didn't really have to get up to apply that choke 😂
How true its his showing off
He done that to even more show his domination
Scorpion should have thrown the spear at him that would have been a good fight
The best live action Scorpion and Shao Kahn.
Scorpion... You never bow to anyone, you make them bow to you
I like that actor as shao kahn. He plays good as shao kahn all badass. Sadly he just needed the helmet not that bootlegged Halloween mask but i like this shao kahn
Kevin Cruz Jeff Meek as Raiden/Shao Kahn
He had the helmet in the 1st episode. I don’t know why he never wore it again.
But it's a hell of a lot better than just some bald guy crying to his Dad in annihilation
Kung Lao and Raiden were wearing their hats in the 1st episode while they didn't in the rest of the series.
This was before MK1 it was intended Shao Kahn upgrades to the helmet after he defeated everyone in this Series end to initiate MK1.
