This is a new series I may continue: ''Which is Better?'' comparing a modern character to a previous version on lore/design/fighting. Let me know if you enjoy it. As always I'll keep up with MK1 updates and MK1 livestreams. The new year is coming friends, I wish you the best and I'll see you soon!
man the underdawg vid he put out today was Not It LMAO im so glad this vid came out as a palette cleanser its really hard for me not to be biased toward mk1 reptile because mk1 is the first time i ever looked deeply into mk lore. however there is a lot about DA syzoth that i think is really interesting and its hard not to see the charm in his story there too. i think both versions are sympathetic for different reasons and i would honestly be so down if they made like an animated mk movie ala cagematch or snowblind that featured a reptile that was more akin to his old iteration. as much as i really like the direction hes going in in mk1, i honestly see the potential for them to kinda sorta rework old plotpoints in new ways. with how syzoth and ashrah are a couple now and with how ashrah and nitara are rivals, i could honestly see a storybeat where nitara tries to use him against ashrah in some way shape or form. as for onaga, with how its said that shao is turning zaterrans against mileena so that they fight in his rebellion, and with how shao has that big plotpoint with onaga, i could also see syzoth getting caught in the middle of the zaterrans and shao and onaga becoming a direct threat to syzoth again. though i guess that would also depend on what they do with onaga this time since he already has a body and wont need syzoth as a vessel. these are just some spitball ideas off the top of my head to go with what you addressed in your video but as someone who spends a lot of time writing reptile fanfiction, i have a lot more ideas for him just in general. this was a really fun watch, thank you for making it!
A Reptile focused movie to expand the animated quadrilogy of MK movies would be pretty cool. Whether it's based on the Reptile in the other films or they just rework the character into the movie to be more like his MK1 self. 🦎💚
Wow, you made a great point here. I could see Nitara being linked to modern Reptile somehow now it would make for a good call back. Also its really cool of you to be able to look back and share your thoughts on the older Reptile while being biased to the new. Thats what is so fun uploading these and sharing comments imo. Reptile is one of the most fascinating characters in MK history. I appreciate your compliment, and thank you for the great comment!
I didn't know where you were going with this. But after listening I must admit this was a brilliant comparison as you looked at it from all aspects. I would love to see more. I must admit how he was written in DA was exceptional.
Thank you so much. The goal is to make lore for both sides, be informative and compare for fun. Unfortunately these types of videos get bad traction and it does take a lot of effort. I thought I'd still give it a shot but its doing as I'd expected so these will be more rare. However, I will still do them occasionally and I appreciate your comment
Yo Scotty Kombat, thank you very much for the video. The MK1 Reptile's skin is awesome. I like the all skins of Reptile. But my favorite Reptile 's skin is in the Mortal Kombat 4 game. 😉👍
First the shade at trueunderdawg was funny as hell also great video as usual brother, also I prefer old reptile looks better to me I don't like human reptile with the face tattoo.
Designwise I love MKDA Reptile more probably because its the most Beast like he's been, not counting his latest alt. Reminds me a bit of the Lizalfos and Dinolfos from The Legend of Zelda. Storywise i like the new reptile more, i always wanted to see him on the good side as his tragedy was always his unfair status of wanting to serve as opposed to any freedom. Presumably we don't see him in MK11 because in his X ending he found a colony of Zaterrans living in earth and he joined them. A neat end to his original arc atleast.
The Nitara/Cyrax thing is so fascinating to me. Reptile was so pissed off. For the record, Reptile devolving is canon. Not that canon is particularly solid for MK.
Hell yes another fan who loves the plot, also I knew it was canon and I think its cool/creative so I had to mention it. I like how they tied side quests into big events, or just big for the character, like Cyrax trying to get home and putting his trust in Nitara
Tbh I love his human form in mk12 but I also love his lizard form in DA, Shaolin Monks, MK9 and MKX and his lizard form in 12 looks very generic they should’ve made his lizard form just like DA while also wearing the costumes that you equip too in that form.
I would've loved this. I thought it would've been cool if we could've at least got the black vest outfit as a skin in the game, but the way you put it is really interesting too. I'd like to see that
I don't dislike the full-on lizard version of the character like a lot of fans seem to, but I still think the original is the best version. Just a reptilian warrior hiding in human form. That, or the Shaolin Monks design. Where it looked like he was starting to shed his human skin.
I'm so glad you threw shade at trueunderdawg 🤡 and I'm glad ur not afraid to. Because the fact that he has such a big following, but still decides to clickbait 😂 His takes are garbage as well. He doesn't even know what tf he talking about 😭 acting like he a pro evo player or sum. (Sorry for the long rant) Great video man! Been spending time with the fam over the holidays 🎉
Definitely, and man is there a history... He has stolen other creators kontent and claimed it as his own, has some takes I disagree with, wild clickbait & more. I almost made a video, idk. I just wouldn't want this channel getting the drama his has. I feel no matter the size of his or other creators followings we've gotta be true to ourselves, I dont mind voicing it :) I appreciate you man, I hope your time with your family has been wonderful 🎉
true true true shao khan snap kung lao head in mortal kombat 9 forcing liu-kang to fight shao kahn and than raiden fort him in chapter 16 that been say i think shao khan will make a return at some point in the future in mortal kombat x was fine story mid mortal kombat vs dc story was ok moves trash The only thing turn me off of mortal kombat x was kung-jin was a lgbtq character
“I promise I’m not as bad as trueunderdawg” the shade lmao

Very interesting topic for a new series.
I dig it!
Thanks man I appreciate it! 👊
Mk1 Reptile>Any other Reptiles! Nice video btw!
@@likuidsmoke5556 MK1 Reptile is great! Hey man ty it means a lot, this video was a new direction and took time. Reptile is fascinating

Having a human reptile has long since been overdue some mk trilogy. That was back in 1996! It's really s breath of fresh air.
It really is. I love Reptile. He's got some great reptiloid forms we really need more as human too imo

Also I'm sharing my takes these aren't objective except the bios, I want to see your guys takes!

Absolutely and thank you for your support ✊ its awesome to see MK4 Reptile get love!
Yo Scotty Kombat, thank you very much for your answer. I'm 💯% agree with you ! 👌😉 I hope to see a new skins in the next shop ! 😔🙏
Love the lore content!
Thanks!

@@LeoGhostface01 Thanks man. I'm surprised to see another 3D Reptile fan this early into uploading the vid 🤘
ScottyKombat Rules!!!!
You rule brotha! ✊
2:09 can we just admire how scary Quan Chi looked back then compared to now lol dude actually looked intimidating!! And a PROBLEM !
Yes!
Reptile is amazing character 👍👌
For sure
@ yes my Bro 👍😉

True, its been a long time since we've since reptile on the good side!
the fact i watched trueunderdawg before this
Staaaay underdoooggg.
I'm playing, if you like him you like him :)

@ it would’ve been a win win for human form and lizard form Reptile fans plus this idea could’ve been used as a reference to his DA form.
Perfect Reptile design would be if MK1 human form could change into Deadly Alliance Reptile. Best of both worlds.
Mk1 reptile is perfect. 👌
He is pretty 🔥!
I don't dislike the full-on lizard version of the character like a lot of fans seem to, but I still think the original is the best version.
Just a reptilian warrior hiding in human form. That, or the Shaolin Monks design. Where it looked like he was starting to shed his human skin.
