@@Citanoo Yeah starting with MK9 in which is stated that she killed herself in order to put a protective ward on earthrealm so Shao Khan could not invade it as he did to Edenia. And now Aftermath comes around and tells us Sindel always loved Shao Khan and was as evil as him, to the point of killing Jerrod. If that's the case, why on earth did she commit suicide in order to prevent Shao's further conquests in the first place? The probolem is not that they retconned her. Is that they did it terrible.
@@Xfushion2 exactly. Raiders time message only went to MK1 and shouldn't have affected Sindels history like that. NR reasoning to make her evil was dumb as hell
interesting analysis. I always thought of it as instead of being happy she is with her daughter, she has to put on a facade in order to trick her daughter into thinking she is good.

I think she had some second thoughts at that moment, probably because Kitana was so kind and loving to her, and, by all means, she is her mother, but her power thirst got the upper hand over her maternal feelings, whatever they were. When she said that Kitana should be put in chains to feel the anguish of defeat, I think that that was her buying time in order to not let Kitana be executed by Shao Kahn, although it is obvious that Sindel would never let her daughter get any empowered position again.
Matheus G. S. You’re overthinking a video game character’s rationale a a human. She literally says to Shao Kahn 2 minutes later ‘TAKE BACK OUR THRONE’ what part of this are you not listening to.
I really hate the way they changed sindel's story. 😭😭. She is a lovely lady, a loving mother and wife. Betraying your daughter and husband for power is a lame decision. I want to stay in the thought where shao kahn bewitched sindel. 😭😭

I miss the original Sindel that truly loved her daughter. Now put aside the other tragic characters and look at Kitana. No need for me to say all the times she has been wronged.

I think that a glimpse of regret passed through her eyes, a speck of second thoughts popped up on her mind when Kitana hugged her. But she snapped out of that quickly, because her power lust was stronger than her maternal instincts, whatever those instincts were.
Imagine Liu Kang deleted sindel and all the other bad guys from the existence in the new era? And maybe the story will focus more to the Life of the "Great Kung Lao" rather than the old arc?

Even tho Liu Kang is my favorite, I do like Shao Khan sonning everyone, especially Johnny Cage. Also that Kodak moment between Liu Kang and Kitana was perfect
I hope the writers find a balance for Sindel in future games. I know many fans are angry that in MK11 Sindel is evil, but on the other hand, I really like her relationship with Shao Kahn in this game (which added some humanity to his character) and I would not want the authors to "forget" about this couple.
So Sheeva just exits like that? THAT's her death scene? Man what a let down. They've already massively improved Sheeva's character only to be gutted like that without so much a whimper.

Is her dead, though? Maybe she was just knocked unconscious for a longer period. Although she knows about Sindel's betrayal. Well, I don't know. Anyway, it doesn't matter, because that timeline no longer exists.
@@naeshaunedwards7731nah lmao she killed jerold Kitana real father Shao was just a replacement lmao and Kitana never forgave sindel or Shao khao really
@dork Muffin, I love how evil they made her too. She has a edge that I love about women. And it makes a good story.I know the original story too but wasn’t she always evil or bewitched as they say.
11:05 Shao Kahn and Sindel doesn't agree on LiuTana. So Shao Kahn stepped on Liu Kang's hand and smash both legs, and Sindel is putting her foot on Kitana's head while incapacitate. So sad to see them in very awful situation like this. 😢
Yeah this timeline the villains won. Cassie and Johnny would have become slaves after being captured, Sindel presumably killed Sheeva, Kotal got killed (offscreen which is upsetting), Kung Lao was thrown into the sea, Jade probably would have become a slave, or executed later after her battle with Sindel and Kitana would be chained and punished because of Sindel’s order
@Adam Young How do you think fans of Shao Kahn felt with MK11? For the first time he's tossed aside like a C grade villain and beaten by one of the weaker MK characters. This was cool in that way, we see an alternate timeline where Shao kahn returns and smashes Kitana and Liu Kang, and does Shao Kahn things. It doesn't even matter because Liu Kang resets the timeline again so they're fine. I personally don't get the Kitana-Liu Kang relationship. They just eye each other once at the MK tournament and now they are soulmates destined to be together for thousands of years.
Killing her daughter (even though she's still a reveant ) By stabbing her in the back after you just told her that you murdered her father in cold blood and betrayed her trust, this woman has no soul
I agree I like her too but I wouldn’t dare tell the MK fans they are mad enough. Funny enough though, my older cousins who played MK thought she was always evil I had to convince them she was bewitched lol
I was introduced to her in mk 3 I think. And I believe I was only 12 or something I don't even know. I remember deadly alliance being the first one I owned though. Anyway I'm 26 now and always assumed she was evil though I knew the history. I don't see her as good lmao. And I saw the cutscenes of her being good but there's far more footage of her being bad lmao. Cause it's what's good. And it's obviously what the developers want to keep pushing, but all anyone talks about is their personal preference. Lol.
So Shao/Sindel hurt Kitana in the ship, make her totally unable to fight back... And the future version of Kitana (revenant) is fully intact all prepared to fight? Wtf. How this logic works seeing that Liu Kang revenant felt the pain when Liu's legs were broken in his past version?
if Shao broke his legs and he were to die or something. Does that mean that he came back with broken legs. He wouldn't contribute at all during MK X
4 ปีที่แล้ว +1
I was going to say that maybe Revenant Kitana was unharmed when the trio entered the Keep because... well, she was on the Keep, shield from the effects of regular time and space. But I remember that she was with Revenant Liu Kang when he was about to start his fight against Raiden and then got his legs smashed by proxy when Shao Kahn directly crushed Past Liu Kang's legs. Up to that point, Past Kitana had already been beaten up by Sindel, so it really doesn't make sense that her Revenant self was still in good shape for a fight. What makes even more sense is that Past Jade was most likely killed by Sindel on the ship, but Revenant Jade was safe and sound in the Keep. I think the producers rushed the production of MK 11: Aftermath and then missed out on those details.
Yeah but I have a question...Why and how the hell is Sindel so powerful to beat the entire roster of characters all over again and an elder god?! She damn defeated Jade in a bo staff fight, like bruh, that's her speciality....and she seems even stronger than Shao Kahn She was just a queen, here, she seems like a Banshee War Machine....
@@PrinceFloof aftermath basically could have done the plot without her considering shao could have just done it on his own, if writers gave him an acc brain. Sindel was there for plot convenience and to drag the story longer than it should’ve been.
I'm just going to assume that Shao Kahn/shang tsung did something to her prior to her death that would make her evil if they ever used the soul chamber.
am I missing something about all this? don't you guys think theyre heading into MK12 with a plan to kind of revive or revisit this stuff? Sindel included. It seems like they're heading into deception/Armageddon territory with all of the references (havik-onaga-daegon-argus-mileena-ermac) etc … and we saw how Sindel was in Deception. Isn't there a possibility her story could change and then continue onward? With her as "good" again.
In the original mk11 story I wanted to let scorpion win against raiden bc scorpion was telling the truth and I felt like punching raiden in the face so when I got to in aftermath as Fijian that made me feel better
Come on ppl she has sin in her name and she even looks evil let that woman be her sexy evil self ugh so many cry babies over this perfect created character
@@SDR3088 If MK 11 were the first game where I saw her, then yes - she would be a really awesome character. But if you knew the old Sindel, than you'd also ask why they changed her personality so much.

That’s in the original timeline she is good. But in this alternate timeline she is evil and she went so far as to kill her own daughter Kitana and her best friend Jade as well.
in the past timeline sindel killed herself because she couldn’t take the abuse that shao kahn did to her and in this timeline they’re a power couple? i hate what they did with sindel, she was a loving mother and queen to edenia and it turns out that she killed her own husband to be with shao kahn? god i hate nrs
Always got annoyes with nrs power scaling, kitana beating shao kahn then having her ass handed to her here. Liu kang beating shao kahn in mk9 and twice in mk 2 and 3 and here he losses to shao kahn without much effort
I don’t have an answer for Shao Kahn other than maybe being restored by the soul chamber put him at like 150%, but Kitana has never been able to beat Sindel. Hardly anyone has.
Tbh, I always thought the moment Kitana hugged her in this scene was making her doubt her actions but now that I look at that face I get the feeling of : Why is this peasant hugging me?
Blame Kittlesen, Cianciolo, and their fellow stupid writers. Those guys should never touch characters that are similar to her ever like Spawn, Batman, Raven, etch.

Huh he did before in mk 9 sindel, kitana heh maybe but mileena surely.
After mk9 shao khan became went from king tryant to just an evil dad in a family with an evil wife and evil daughter and the one daughter who is abuse
Mr. Blue Is Too Smooth dad!? Oh wait. Right mileena. And that one daughter no one likes in the family.
Why...just...why?? I mean, MK11 is already heart wrenching enough for me...the aftermath is worse...just...why..........😭😭
❤💔
so they can find excuse to recon stuff again if MK12 ever come out.
Because making MK11 Aftermath is the NRS stupid excuse of a choice.
the timeline resets so theyre fine
2:05 I hate Sindel for making Kitana suffer like that... Look how happy she is... And Sindel's face? I think she kind of realised how much Kitana missed her. But she only cares about her throne. I miss the original Sindel that truly loved her daughter. Now put aside the other tragic characters and look at Kitana. No need for me to say all the times she has been wronged.
I think that a glimpse of regret passed through her eyes, a speck of second thoughts popped up on her mind when Kitana hugged her. But she snapped out of that quickly, because her power lust was stronger than her maternal instincts, whatever those instincts were.
I hate Sindel being evil. 😭😡 She needs to be good in the next new era timeline that Liu Kang has made.
We can just wait .... then this timeline was fore me too sad
Imagine Liu Kang deleted sindel and all the other bad guys from the existence in the new era? And maybe the story will focus more to the Life of the "Great Kung Lao" rather than the old arc?
We don’t know that for sure!
Nah just let her be evil it suit her way better
@@SDR3088 "The mother of kitana,Queen Sindel was forced into marriage with Shao Kahn when he conquered her realm of Edenia . In an attempt to thwart the emperors design on Earthrealm,she sacrificed herself.Her suicide created a magic ward preventing him from setting foot there.But now the barrier has been dissolved,Sindel has been resurrected,her mind enslaved by Shao Kahn,Earthrealms former ally has become a deadly threat." 1992-2011
mk 11 aftermath is the definition of "we won, but at what cost?"
Kitana and Lui Kang always had it rough so I’m not surprised they were treated like this🤷🏽♂️
Even tho Liu Kang is my favorite, I do like Shao Khan sonning everyone, especially Johnny Cage. Also that Kodak moment between Liu Kang and Kitana was perfect
I hope the writers find a balance for Sindel in future games. I know many fans are angry that in MK11 Sindel is evil, but on the other hand, I really like her relationship with Shao Kahn in this game (which added some humanity to his character) and I would not want the authors to "forget" about this couple.
Awful opinion.
Based
Nah Shao Kahn can die alone
Do you think she has any love for her
There was a bit when they where hugging and it looked like she does feel something
0:51 the way her face just completely changed to mask her true feelings was so clean
So Sheeva just exits like that? THAT's her death scene? Man what a let down. They've already massively improved Sheeva's character only to be gutted like that without so much a whimper.
Is her dead, though? Maybe she was just knocked unconscious for a longer period. Although she knows about Sindel's betrayal. Well, I don't know. Anyway, it doesn't matter, because that timeline no longer exists.
Sindel: Kitana is the weaker Kahn.
Me: incorrect. That would be Kotal.
Jade and kitana really said "we ride together we die together"💔
Many ppl say sindel didn't care for kitana but I think she did 2:07 the heartbroken look in her face to be betraying her daughter says it all
Yeah i agree. Sindel definitely cares about Kitana even though she is twisted, but her punishments are just harsh as hell
@@naeshaunedwards7731nah lmao she killed jerold Kitana real father
Shao was just a replacement lmao and Kitana never forgave sindel or Shao khao really
I will never tire of seeing Sindel greet her daughter
What greetings sindel not a mother she's a puppet
Okay I'm gonna be completely honest... but please note that I do know the original story for Sindel
I love how Evil they made Sindel
Excluding continuity...
@dork Muffin, I love how evil they made her too. She has a edge that I love about women. And it makes a good story.I know the original story too but wasn’t she always evil or bewitched as they say.
And now, I will never look at this Sindel again. I’m sticking with 2011, causes that’s the Sindel I grew up with MK9 forever!
Stop most mothers hate their daughters or jealous so why does this bother you so much.
@MrOrlandodh12 no, not all moms are like this. A lot of moms would be willing to die for their daughters if anything.
@@MrOrlandodh12 I guess you had a bad childhood or bad relationship with your mother, eh? i pity you. If not then you're one ungrateful bastard.
@Dark Emperor Agreed. This video is NOT how an average mom acts. Not even remotely close.
She was evil then to lol.
Shao Khan: Wife you're here
Mileena: Shao, you can just say Ki
Shao: Wife
Mileena:
I don’t get it,pls explain
@@eyeshadow4829 me neither.
11:05 Shao Kahn and Sindel doesn't agree on LiuTana. So Shao Kahn stepped on Liu Kang's hand and smash both legs, and Sindel is putting her foot on Kitana's head while incapacitate. So sad to see them in very awful situation like this. 😢
11:25 my favorite moment 🙂
Yeah this timeline the villains won. Cassie and Johnny would have become slaves after being captured, Sindel presumably killed Sheeva, Kotal got killed (offscreen which is upsetting), Kung Lao was thrown into the sea, Jade probably would have become a slave, or executed later after her battle with Sindel and Kitana would be chained and punished because of Sindel’s order
Guys it is safe to say that Liu Kangs ending is the canon one. Everyone is safe relax. Apart from Shangh of course...
The Hermit true
@Adam Young How do you think fans of Shao Kahn felt with MK11? For the first time he's tossed aside like a C grade villain and beaten by one of the weaker MK characters. This was cool in that way, we see an alternate timeline where Shao kahn returns and smashes Kitana and Liu Kang, and does Shao Kahn things. It doesn't even matter because Liu Kang resets the timeline again so they're fine.
I personally don't get the Kitana-Liu Kang relationship. They just eye each other once at the MK tournament and now they are soulmates destined to be together for thousands of years.
If you look closely when kitana hugs Sindel. Sindel looks like she feels bad and almost has second thoughts of betraying her daughter
I like this Sindel. She's nobody's tool and oh so deliciously evil.
But couldn't stop Kitana fr
Sindel's definitely more Diavolo-ish here!
Jojo reference
Killing her daughter (even though she's still a reveant ) By stabbing her in the back after you just told her that you murdered her father in cold blood and betrayed her trust, this woman has no soul
idk what shan sung took from her but it wasn't a soul, she's heartless
I dig that Shang Tsung killed Kung Lao the same way Shang Killed Liu Kang in the opening of Deadly Alliance.
Sindel I love her and cocky attitude .
I like what they did with sindel. Don't @ me
Same she stole the show in Aftermath 🔥
I-
I agree I like her too but I wouldn’t dare tell the MK fans they are mad enough. Funny enough though, my older cousins who played MK thought she was always evil I had to convince them she was bewitched lol
I was introduced to her in mk 3 I think. And I believe I was only 12 or something I don't even know. I remember deadly alliance being the first one I owned though. Anyway I'm 26 now and always assumed she was evil though I knew the history. I don't see her as good lmao. And I saw the cutscenes of her being good but there's far more footage of her being bad lmao. Cause it's what's good. And it's obviously what the developers want to keep pushing, but all anyone talks about is their personal preference.
Lol.
I like their power evil relationship. Together they are unstoppable
12:31 Kitana is very good dodger and Fighter
So Shao/Sindel hurt Kitana in the ship, make her totally unable to fight back... And the future version of Kitana (revenant) is fully intact all prepared to fight? Wtf.
How this logic works seeing that Liu Kang revenant felt the pain when Liu's legs were broken in his past version?
Stressed Umbra I don't think kitana was broken.
They're under the employ of a time cheat goddess remember
Revenant Liu kang was fine until past liu kangs legs got smashed by shao kahn, kitana presumably was just imprisoned
if Shao broke his legs and he were to die or something. Does that mean that he came back with broken legs. He wouldn't contribute at all during MK X
I was going to say that maybe Revenant Kitana was unharmed when the trio entered the Keep because... well, she was on the Keep, shield from the effects of regular time and space. But I remember that she was with Revenant Liu Kang when he was about to start his fight against Raiden and then got his legs smashed by proxy when Shao Kahn directly crushed Past Liu Kang's legs. Up to that point, Past Kitana had already been beaten up by Sindel, so it really doesn't make sense that her Revenant self was still in good shape for a fight. What makes even more sense is that Past Jade was most likely killed by Sindel on the ship, but Revenant Jade was safe and sound in the Keep. I think the producers rushed the production of MK 11: Aftermath and then missed out on those details.
Sindel killed Jade and Kitana again
But those are the relevant ones what what happened to the actual them?
I prefer Sindel this way. It suits her better.
Sindel: I'm not going to kill you. As Raiden said to Lord Shinnok...
There are fates worse than death.
I love the part where katana cuts shao Kahn’s face and he takes and then he just punches her and hits her
Sindel: You are a bit old to be in Shao Kahn's military, are you not?
@@dmalaychuklnao the only reason they upgraded Shao khao Kitan already killed him sindel was never meant to lead
Yeah but I have a question...Why and how the hell is Sindel so powerful to beat the entire roster of characters all over again and an elder god?!
She damn defeated Jade in a bo staff fight, like bruh, that's her speciality....and she seems even stronger than Shao Kahn
She was just a queen, here, she seems like a Banshee War Machine....
Literally
Plot armor
@@nabilahmed579That's it? I need more of a shitty reason as to why they did this
@@PrinceFloof aftermath basically could have done the plot without her considering shao could have just done it on his own, if writers gave him an acc brain.
Sindel was there for plot convenience and to drag the story longer than it should’ve been.
@@nabilahmed579we ail know Kitana was the real princess
I'm just going to assume that Shao Kahn/shang tsung did something to her prior to her death that would make her evil if they ever used the soul chamber.
12:18 and 12:19 Sindel vs Jade Duel begins
Ok not bad looks badass and amazing
Sindel: You are a bit old to be in Shao Kahn's military, are you not?
am I missing something about all this? don't you guys think theyre heading into MK12 with a plan to kind of revive or revisit this stuff? Sindel included.
It seems like they're heading into deception/Armageddon territory with all of the references (havik-onaga-daegon-argus-mileena-ermac) etc … and we saw how Sindel was in Deception. Isn't there a possibility her story could change and then continue onward? With her as "good" again.
One things for sure, we all wanted to leave kitana beat us if we chose sindel
In the original mk11 story I wanted to let scorpion win against raiden bc scorpion was telling the truth and I felt like punching raiden in the face so when I got to in aftermath as Fijian that made me feel better
What happened to good old Sindel
The redconned her for shitty shipping fanfic
Come on ppl she has sin in her name and she even looks evil let that woman be her sexy evil self ugh so many cry babies over this perfect created character
@@SDR3088 If MK 11 were the first game where I saw her, then yes - she would be a really awesome character. But if you knew the old Sindel, than you'd also ask why they changed her personality so much.
@@SDR3088 Looks evil... Have you look at the roster? Most of them all look evil. Hell most of them have been evil. She went from one of the few actual known good people, to haha sexy evil lady that serves Shao Khan. That the game has a ton of. Hell most of you admit you are just thirsty when you say why you like her. She was the poster girl of dont judge a book by its cover in the series.
She died in 2011❤💔
12:29 Why jade can’t defeat sindel?
I hate that sindel is evil she used to be so good 😭
That’s in the original timeline she is good. But in this alternate timeline she is evil and she went so far as to kill her own daughter Kitana and her best friend Jade as well.
This is like the 5th time in the last 3 MK games that Sindel has killed Kitana
The one time I want to see D'Vorah and she is no where to be found
Scorpion from the past ripped her spider legs off which might have killed her
I must say Sindel is utterly gorgeous that hug was awesome
Shao Kahn is the Vince McMahon of Mortal Kombat
Ok NS.....I have a quick question
If Sindel was evil the entire time....WHAT THE HELL WAS THE POINT OF HER BEING BRAINWASHED BY SHAO KAHN?!!!
She is having second thoughts in that face she made when she hugged her.
Thank god revenant Kitana is dead because I need Kitana to just look like a normal human in the character select screen in MK12.
12:30
Jade: Not again
At least sindel got the karma like what she did to kitana in mk9
At this point, Sindel just a big fail. Claim to be all poweful and still ended up fucking the whole world up for a man..🙄
Shao-del are the very definition of a Power Couple.
in the past timeline sindel killed herself because she couldn’t take the abuse that shao kahn did to her and in this timeline they’re a power couple? i hate what they did with sindel, she was a loving mother and queen to edenia and it turns out that she killed her own husband to be with shao kahn? god i hate nrs
They shined for a moment, then Shang Tseng wasted them. Power my ass.
@@mlo009 Good point. I was wondering why Shao Khan didn't reassert his authority when Shang Tsung was leading the pair by the nose.
This Sindel is such a big dissapoint.
I know right she is indeed
Always got annoyes with nrs power scaling, kitana beating shao kahn then having her ass handed to her here. Liu kang beating shao kahn in mk9 and twice in mk 2 and 3 and here he losses to shao kahn without much effort
There is no power scale in mk..
Everyone can beat everyone in any giving moment = bad writting
I don’t have an answer for Shao Kahn other than maybe being restored by the soul chamber put him at like 150%, but Kitana has never been able to beat Sindel. Hardly anyone has.
@@Tifa7767 sindel= how everyone see scorpion
As long as you’re a really good Kung Fu master, you even beat an Elder God in MK
Am so mad that Sindel lied to her own child and act like she loves her she is such an meaing mother
Yeah it’s so messed up
Bad guys fight bad guys lol
I know right
Tbh, I always thought the moment Kitana hugged her in this scene was making her doubt her actions but now that I look at that face I get the feeling of : Why is this peasant hugging me?
Sindel: I will enjoy feeding Lord Shinnok your soul.
6:41 I am glad NRS finally give out this shocking revelation to Kitana.
I’m so angry that sindel... is like that omg
So Shang Tsung has the crown that's better than the original story of MK11
What's going on with Shao Khan's skin it use to look human
Apparently he's reptilian now. There's an official art of him with only his underwear, look it up.
Kitana isn’t dead she is just injured very injured
Can you please explain what happened to her in the End of Mortal combat 11
NRS should never touch another MK game again.
Ruin Sonya ,Scorpion and so much more...but Sindel.....why??
Story-wise, at least. 😒 They need new writers. 😩
Blame Kittlesen, Cianciolo, and their fellow stupid writers. Those guys should never touch characters that are similar to her ever like Spawn, Batman, Raven, etch. Also woke shits need to go from video game, if SJWs want to preach their political belief then make their own games don't touch any franchise that doesn't need or has nothing to do with them.
@@darkemperortheobscureone694 and the woman are also to be shown wearing mens cloths instead of wearing what they prefer them selves...like basically most of the male characters are shirtless.
