Ironically, the company calls itself Netherealm Studios, yet cares the least about the characters from the Netherealm in Mortal Kombat. On top of misusing characters like Scorpion, Quan Chi, and Shinnok, Sareena gets only a brief cameo in MKX, and Ashrah is never seen or mentioned in the reboot timeline.
MK4, MKDA & MKD the newer characters never really were that good, that’s why they only put like 1 or 2 characters from those games in future releases. Tanya, fujin, kenshi, Qun Chi, Frost & Bo Rai Cho are the only characters to be put in future games (MKA doesn’t count). They only put sareena in MKA because he model was already made for MKDA so it really wasn’t that hard to put it into MKA. I think she would be a really cool character to add to the main series I just think they know what fans want & not a lot of people remember MKMSZ & she’s & they don’t explain her at all in MKA so tbh people probably thought she was a new character added for that game

Sareena is the bee's knees. Which makes it even more annoying how underutilized she is in both timelines, especially considering you showed us just how easy it is to use her in the story
I always find it disheartening when a character in any kind of media like Sareena; who has an intriguing backstory; a cool design to boot and a sizable fan base who care about them, only to be shoved to the side to make way for other story decisions. It's sad really, and the fact that she hasn't been a playable character since who knows how long is doing a disservice to people who care about minor characters like her. I know Sareena is not the only victim to this (trust me she is far from the last), but even then all characters should be given a role to play; no matter how minor those actions are and even then small actions can create larger consequences. I love details like that. Hell even the dynamic you laid out between Bi-Han/Sub-Zero/Sareena is almost in line with a stage tragedy. The very idea of a person helping you stray the path of evil to that of good, only from them to... take that same path they helped you leave is heartbreaking. If that doesn't get anyone in the feels, then I'm not sure what does anymore. Also I have a soft spot for demons taking the road to redemption and helping the heroes succeed, so take that as what you will.
I think Sareena played a huge role In Bi-Han becoming more cold hearted.In My mind she and Bi-Han actually had a relationship.Since Mkx apparently there was emotions between The two
pious83 I like linking it to Ashrah too, but what I am really mad about is her being married off to someone she doesn’t even know in canon. I am a big Kuai Liang X Sareena shipper myself, but I can understand why people ship her with Bi-han, but those are the only guys that she has a positive relationship to in the games. Everyone else is either professional, like the special forces, or antagonistic, like Quan Chi. They were better off having her marry a new character or not at all than what they did.

I fully agree. I was excited to see more of her in MKX but got nothing. Sareena deserves better treatment. What also pisses me off is her suddenly ending up with Kabal out of nowhere. She never even met Kabal in the past. She had more connection with Bi-Han and his younger brother. As if I didn't have enough reason to hate MK11 more than I already do.
@Fwuffycodbunny The chapter dedicated to Scorpion and Sub-Zero's alliance was the game's biggest highlight. It didn't last long. After Scorpion dies by D'vorah(who cares) we don't see Kuai Liang react that his newly formed Ally and friend just died. Seriously they could have had scene with Past Scorpion and Sub-Zero where he mourns Hanzo's death and tells Scorpion about the events behind the rivalry between two clans orchestrated by Quan Chi, but no. Sub-Zero had barely anything to do with the story and it feels so wasteful because they easily could have had emotional or significant confrontation with his brother and Frost but no. Such wasted potential!
sereena is actually one of the minor characters i did like. ther is so much potential with her and bi-han....and it would be awesome if she had stayed with kuai liang and joined the lin kuei
8:18 Another layer to this is that in Ashrah's Deception bio she specifically refers to the other Brotherhood demons as her sisters, who Quan Chi sent to kill her. So Ashrah taking Sareena's advice could lead to her having to choose between killing her sisters or staying trapped in the Netherrealm and bound to Quan Chi. I think that would make for some great drama.
Damn, Snake has more knowledge about MK lore and a better sense of proper storytelling then the MK writing team. I hope they watch this and feel terrible about what they did.
One of the things that I became aware of was that MKX and MK11 were written by completely different people, which is why NONE of the plot threads of MKX were followed on for MK11 and we went straight into a timeline fuckup so they could hit a big reset button and do whatever they wanted with the next game. Sareena would have been an excellent keystone telling why Bi-Han is corrupt in the first place; that he spent his life being a hardass and when he finally came across someone who helped him out of the goodness of her heart, she was seemingly killed for it. Hell, that would have been a perfect mark in Kuai's ending telling why Bi-Han remained in the darkness by choice. I also agree, fucking ANYONE would have been better than Jacqui. I still won't forgive them for having her hijack Kotal's trailer for MK11.
I was really hoping we would see Sareena in MK 11 being that she was in MK X and has a tie to Noob Saibot (who just felt like he was thrown into the MK 11 story because he was popular, and not because he actually belonged there)
Sareena was in MK:Mythologies which came out before MK4, which should count her as a 2D-era character. Instead they decide to keep Tanya and Dvorah and filling in space with new characters like Jacqui and Cassie. We even got Frost of all female characters in MK11.
Sareena was the character I was looking forward to most in MK11. I seriously thought she was going to be part of the main cast, especially since Noob and Sub Zero were both in this, would've been awesome to have her interact with Noob and see what hes become. But alas, she got the always the bridesmaid never the bride shaft again. On a side note, there was a leak prior to the game coming out that had all the DLC that was gonna come out, which included Sareena. But as the DLC was officially revealed, turns out the leak was correct with the only exception being Sareena deconfirmed for being 11 (even though the leak got Nightwolf, Sindel, Spawn, etc correct). I'm still holding onto hope she'll be part of KP2, but I seriously doubt it.
@@darrensmith5977 maybe because the people who are paid to write were too incompetent to prevent said plot holes from happening while also failing to deliver an actually good story
Agreed man. Hell, I would have like to see what would have been her story when she did get out of the Netherrealm because Armageddon didn't really established much on her.
"Because this episode will be mostly focused there, while also addressing the Netherrealm Era's missed opportunities" Me: What? Those 3 minutes are just intro?
I kinda hope that in the new timeline that her and Bi Han escaped together and possibly had a child with each other. And maybe later on when Kuai Liang gets cyberized, we can keep him in that form and have his nephew take on the mantle of Sub Zero, keeping with tradition where the previous Sub Zero gets transformed into something else and the title of Sub Zero passes down to the next in the family.
With any sequels to MK1, I hope we can get a more coherent storyline for her. Since, in Ashrah’s ending, we see her break from Quran Chi (and we can likely assume every ending in MK1 is canon, as implied with many of the intro dialogues), so there may be a point in the future where she helps Scorpion and Smoke defeat the Lin Kuei and possibly even redeem Bi-Han.
Ikr. He isn't even mentioned in the story and the only time we hear a character say is name is bi-han in a random pre-fight dialogue with his brother. Not even Kuai Liang talks about Smoke, his best friend who was in a near depression over Kuai Liang's cyberization.
Midway/NRS really squander all the potential of world building when it comes to the Netherrealm. They keep the status quo of the most popular two - Scorpion & Noob - and everything else is either forgotten or swept under the rug. The Oni, the Demons, Ashrah *and* Sareena. There is a lot to explore and mine from a plot standpoint, when it comes to this universes equivalent of Hell. But no, we get lame cookie cutter Revenants and generic Doom monsters as the main body of the realm's inhabitants in the new timeline... *_SIGH_* Plus, before you write him off completely. I do recall reading a particular Khronicle that even managed to give Meat an interesting and engaging story...
@@The4thSnake Nearly halfway through them. Encouraging to hear they might be continuing. It is the most I've been impressed by MK stories since 2002, with Deadly Alliance.
In MIDWAY's defense, they at least featured a lot of those characters and concepts in prominent and even playable forms. Plus they were the ones who came up with all of that stuff in the first place. Netherrealm doesn't even try. They kill off all of the less popular characters and ignore the richer parts of their lore and universe because dipshits like little Frankie over at the misinformation foundry that is fightersgeneration didn't like them.
Still waiting on Kochal - god of chaos who is worshiped by the Oni, to actually show up besides a small side quest in Deception that is more a tease of something awesome than it is an actual quest. Or Baphomet to join the canon, or The Evil Ones, considering their concept art and potential world building they could provide would be worth it. Or hell, let's bring back Lucifer so Shinnok has something to do other than being a little bitch.
sareena’s design (especially her mkx design) alone made her one of my absolute favorites, she has SO MUCH potential and can be really interesting, hope they do more with her someday
I bet you if Sareena was to be released as mk11 dlc, they will design her with full metal suit of hard steel armor covering up everywhere for their agenda smfh.
It was nice that someone was thoughtful enough to fill in the blank and actually explain what happened to Sareena for anyone that might’ve wondered. I wish someone could’ve done that for Smoke, Reptile, Kung Jin, Takeda, Jade or any number of characters that just disappeared for whatever reason between 9, X and 11.
And there's a very odd easter egg in the game regarding Sareena. When Noob defeats Skarlet in the first round he's saying to her: "You're like Sareena". Personally i think that it is a referance by developers that shows that they were choosing between Skarlet and Sareena. Sadly i don't think that Sareena will make it to mk11.
@@BadWolf2755 You're welcome. I play mostly as Noob. When he defeats Scorpion in first round he seldom says: "Hasashi..." or "THIS is my vengeance". When he defeats Kuai Liang it's: "Die, brother".
Sareena met Bi - Han in the Netherworld where she was a servant of Quan - Chi and gets killed by Shinnok. This happened in Mortal Kombat Mythologies Sub - Zero.
NetherRealm: "Sareena served Quan Chi... So what you're saying is, we can sacrifice her in a 15 second cutscene bullshit dark magic ritual to bring back Quan Chi and reveal it was him manipulating Kronika to become the master of the New Era ALL ALONG! This man is a genius, it's in the MK11 canon, done!"
@Definitely a George Soros funded bot In the words of Kronika: "The New Era of the New Era will become the New Era of the New Era and the New New Era of the New Era will be the New Era that all New Eras will never be like because the New Era will be the New Era of all New Eras to come in the New Era and there will be no New Era in the New Era of the New Era of the New Era" How can you top writing and dialogue like that? You are permitted to consult with the Elder Gods but only 411 times in a 360 hour period!
Yh she could be even more interesting, like burning off her tattoo and being scarred from her past and seeing what bi han has become, she could bond with subzero on their quest to save Noob - btw I wish Ashrah was back tbh but they'd ruin her too
Or perhaps instead of burning off her tattoo, an iced over handprint from Sub Zero. A symbol of her turning away from her old life and joining the Lin Kuei.
@@pious83 I think this is what the channels all about tbh, maybe NRS have lost the passion for character development and lore and focusing more on base level just to rush the game out, its sad really
Sareena is a victim of being a footnote Character, she had not too much of an impact of the story and is just simple forgotten by many or simply an Easter egg. MK X was mostly about establishing the new heroes, so her being there meant she has to give them more screen time than her, like with Sub Zero and The revenants.
Every time I think of what NRS MK could have being considering it's pedigree, I just get pissed off. This is a franchise with so much potential; the awesome characters, the different factions, the different realms, and the different interesting stories that could have been told. Such a shame.
Thank you for this! I've been waiting for Sareena a LONG time! One of my favourite ever characters in MK and shes been seriously underutilised all these years. I genuinely dont understand how she hasn't made it into a proper game outside of Armageddon and how her interesting lore hasn't been capitalised/expanded upon. Maybe if NRS focused on the organisations/clans other than the boring Special Forces...
I'm still pissed off she's not in MK11. After her cameo in MKX, I had some type of expectations. Love your videos man. They need you at NRS, cause these videos are so amazing.
You know for a story like mortal kombat, its a lot more complex then it actually is. Even though story mode in games is longer than movies, it's still not long enough to explain key details of other things. Thats why this series would have to be written in a book, because books have no limits to what they're writing. Of course not just one, but many books. Idk how many
Thank you for adding these various issues that continue in NRS as they did in Midway. Sareena and Quan chi both retain the midway era design, regardless the timeline differentiation. It is a possibility that Ashra is a different take on Sareena and some of her story elements, but like Sareena they were never explored past one or two games. As for the konquest mode it doesn't state who is the author, Alex berentine was mkda's original author and an author in mka, Midway's own version of tekken tag 1. I find it odd that the other sub bosses alongside Sareena were not explored as well. The final years of the Tobias and Vogel era gave us many interesting concepts on paper that manifested on character swap levels with unique designs (Sareena, Kai, Tanya, Reiko), all of which suffer from similar points which you've made, i.e: Characters that are swaps rather than complete and unique characters (Tekken used this only a handful of times, like Christie instead of Eddy in T4),. Thanks to your video I see that continuity and consistency in writing began to suffer ever since mk tournament edition for Sareena (Goro and Shao Khan were connecting their plot to their games. Khan with mkda and Goro with mkte). I hope we'll be able to see more consistency from the team, as some members of that team that gave us firstly the complex characters and their rebooted varients at times.
While I don't agree with the NRS disapproval, I do 200% with how much potential Sareena has and that she should have been in the game, over god damn Jacqui
@@The4thSnake he hates violence in real life but that does not mean he hates mortal kombat even ed Boon says they make the game as unrealistic as possible
Please write the MK12 story xD No seriously NRS needs to call you up,man I'm probably the first one back when MK11 was still being revealed that thought Sareena could return and make a wonderful scene or two with Noob..She was afterall saved by him in the first place,now she could have saved him with the help of Kuai Liang It's one of the stuff I was most excited about and hoped it would make it to MK11,I't could also have been emotional seeing Noob freed n rejoice with Sareena but NOPE -_- Raiden shouldn't have consulted with the elder gods
It still gets under my skin on how has she not come in contact with the younger brother. Considering bi han survived the soulnado there should have been a chance through the 25-30 year gap she could have seen him.l at least once. Hell bi han has a win quote against scarlet that mentions her
When you realize Taven is just a yellow Hornbuckle (love the guy, but the whole Edenian thing and he's meant to fight Blaze which pretty much is probably the whole inspiration for that).

@@mariothewizard3710 Japan is weird. I think it's mostly because Sareena and Nitara appeal to both the goth and sexy vampire tropes that they seem to like
Unfortunately the Red Dragon seems like a concept that'll never get another chance. Netherrealm studio just flat out ignored the Armageddon story in this new timeline despite several factors of it still being very much in place. Considering that the Red Dragon's very existence is completely tied to Argus, Blaze and the battle of Armageddon, that's a major blow against their chances of returning. On top of that many people will likely never give Movado and Hsu Hao a chance no matter how well written or improved they become because of stupid overblown internet hate memes.
kayokango I agree but it’d still be a cool video. Discussing how they could have been used better in both timelines. I feel the red dragon were way too underutilized in both timelines. Same for Chaos and Orderrealm
Never got all the hate for the red dragon characters Mavado was one of my favorites in Deadly Alliance and Hsu Hao was fun to play as so why do people hate them? as for Chaosrealm Havik is one of the most heavily requested characters yet gets constantly ignored by NRS the last time I recall him being even mentioned was Noob's MK9 ending, Seido aka Orderrealm has also been all but completely ignored outside of an MK9 ending too what's up with that?!
It seems weird that she hasn’t been playable in the newer instalments she has a cool look and positive feedback I think. Then again neither has Onaga the Sons of Argus & Shujinko & a bunch more ever returned either....NRS are you SUS?.
Hardcore MK fan for nearly 15 years now, I know literally EVERYTHING about the MK Kanon (BOTH timelines) & I let me tell you in KOMPLETE konfidence & honesty that Sareena is the most WASTED kharacter in the franchise, konsidering her potential & significance...
It's annoying when Netherrealm Studios decides to add in a shit ton of guest characters instead of MK ones. I dont even hate guest characters but if you're gonna add them in, make that shit separate from the Mortal Kombat ones.
Actually Sareena’s bio for Armageddon says that Quan Chi found her and convinces her join his side as one of his warriors again after she loses her human form again after fighting off Noob Saibot and Smoke and the sorcerer promises to give her a permanent human appearance in return. She also thinks that Kuai Liang was better off without her because of the spell Quan Chi put on her. She didn’t want Sub Zero to see her demon form because she was ashamed of it.
Speaking to the hair inconsistencies.. You do know hair can be combed over from left to right lol. All she has to do is part her hair further to the left of her scalp, and the streak will move to the other side of her face when combed over lol. I agree with everything else, but that part just made me giggle lol.
Sareena is my favorite woman character in the Mortal Kombat series, Ed Boon gave her no justice In the entire series, she only appeared in Mythologies Sub-Zero, the second half of Deadly Alliance, and in Mortal Kombat Armageddon, she only appeared in the new time line in MK X section of the Netherealm, we don't see her again in the rest of the series, like I said before no justice for Sareena screw you Ed Boon ☠️
Great wasted plotential episode as usual. Probably my favorite one in a while since I really like Sareena. On a side note, I just watched a Nightwolf intros so far video and it is confirmed. Netherrealm fucking ruined Sindel.
You know what would be interesting if frost failed rebellion actually injured Serena enough to channel her demon form and she nearly killed frost with it and the younger sub zero not realizing that she's in her demon form retaliates and freezes frost thus he doesn't know of her betrayal! Instead uses it like a super healing technique!
Great video. I honestly wish her and Ashrah were playable in MK11. Ashrah I miss the most but I don't know if I'll ever see her playable in a future installment sadly.

The writers at mortal kombat need to sit down and look at the lore. I’m actually not a fan of them forcing another reboot. Characters like kotal Kahn and takeada were cool and I don’t see any chance of them ever being brought back.

@UC-BhOvRtsqj-GXhLDLC_Z-A That I can agree with. I actually like Johnny Cage.
@Fwuffycodbunny The chapter dedicated to Scorpion and Sub-Zero's alliance was the game's biggest highlight. It didn't last long. After Scorpion dies by D'vorah(who cares) we don't see Kuai Liang react that his newly formed Ally and friend just died. Seriously they could have had scene with Past Scorpion and Sub-Zero where he mourns Hanzo's death and tells Scorpion about the events behind the rivalry between two clans orchestrated by Quan Chi, but no. Sub-Zero had barely anything to do with the story and it feels so wasteful because they easily could have had emotional or significant confrontation with his brother and Frost but no. Such wasted potential!
sereena is actually one of the minor characters i did like. ther is so much potential with her and bi-han....and it would be awesome if she had stayed with kuai liang and joined the lin kuei
8:18
Another layer to this is that in Ashrah's Deception bio she specifically refers to the other Brotherhood demons as her sisters, who Quan Chi sent to kill her. So Ashrah taking Sareena's advice could lead to her having to choose between killing her sisters or staying trapped in the Netherrealm and bound to Quan Chi. I think that would make for some great drama.
Damn, Snake has more knowledge about MK lore and a better sense of proper storytelling then the MK writing team. I hope they watch this and feel terrible about what they did.
One of the things that I became aware of was that MKX and MK11 were written by completely different people, which is why NONE of the plot threads of MKX were followed on for MK11 and we went straight into a timeline fuckup so they could hit a big reset button and do whatever they wanted with the next game.
Sareena would have been an excellent keystone telling why Bi-Han is corrupt in the first place; that he spent his life being a hardass and when he finally came across someone who helped him out of the goodness of her heart, she was seemingly killed for it. Hell, that would have been a perfect mark in Kuai's ending telling why Bi-Han remained in the darkness by choice.
I also agree, fucking ANYONE would have been better than Jacqui. I still won't forgive them for having her hijack Kotal's trailer for MK11.
I was really hoping we would see Sareena in MK 11 being that she was in MK X and has a tie to Noob Saibot (who just felt like he was thrown into the MK 11 story because he was popular, and not because he actually belonged there)
I thought Sareena and Li Mei would have been DLC in MKX they the most popular female characters from the post MK4 era.
Unfortunately, NRS seems to hate the 3D era Kharacters and try to undermine them every chance they get.
@Raider 2747 Quan Chi predates the 3D era.
Sareena was in MK:Mythologies which came out before MK4, which should count her as a 2D-era character. Instead they decide to keep Tanya and Dvorah and filling in space with new characters like Jacqui and Cassie. We even got Frost of all female characters in MK11.
@Raider 2747 So what was the point of your comment, in context to mine and the OG post?
@Raider 2747 Yes, Mortal Kombat's _Harley Quinn_
Sareena was the character I was looking forward to most in MK11. I seriously thought she was going to be part of the main cast, especially since Noob and Sub Zero were both in this, would've been awesome to have her interact with Noob and see what hes become. But alas, she got the always the bridesmaid never the bride shaft again.
On a side note, there was a leak prior to the game coming out that had all the DLC that was gonna come out, which included Sareena. But as the DLC was officially revealed, turns out the leak was correct with the only exception being Sareena deconfirmed for being 11 (even though the leak got Nightwolf, Sindel, Spawn, etc correct). I'm still holding onto hope she'll be part of KP2, but I seriously doubt it.
Just gonna wait for those "Wasted Plotential" episodes on the meme characters....
hell yeah mokap and hornbuckle
Wasted Plotential: Meat
Hsu Hao video will be like 2 minutes long. It'll be the intro, Snake raging about how bad he was, leaving the room, outro 😂

No. They need him to reboot the entire series.
Some long time fans would do this for free
Why do people insist that if a guy points out plot holes they can be better writers than the people who are paid to write?
@@darrensmith5977 maybe because the people who are paid to write were too incompetent to prevent said plot holes from happening while also failing to deliver an actually good story
Blame IP laws.
Man, I REALLY miss Ashrah. Glad you brought her up.
Agreed man. Hell, I would have like to see what would have been her story when she did get out of the Netherrealm because Armageddon didn't really established much on her.
Relax, she returned... as a cameo
"Because this episode will be mostly focused there, while also addressing the Netherrealm Era's missed opportunities"
Me: What? Those 3 minutes are just intro?
I kinda hope that in the new timeline that her and Bi Han escaped together and possibly had a child with each other. And maybe later on when Kuai Liang gets cyberized, we can keep him in that form and have his nephew take on the mantle of Sub Zero, keeping with tradition where the previous Sub Zero gets transformed into something else and the title of Sub Zero passes down to the next in the family.
With any sequels to MK1, I hope we can get a more coherent storyline for her. Since, in Ashrah’s ending, we see her break from Quran Chi (and we can likely assume every ending in MK1 is canon, as implied with many of the intro dialogues), so there may be a point in the future where she helps Scorpion and Smoke defeat the Lin Kuei and possibly even redeem Bi-Han.
She definitely deserves a cool Netherrealm story ark also involving more of those denizens like Ashrah and even the Oni creatures therein.
I need Enenra/Smoke video soon, really mad about it
Enenra*
Omg yes please Smoke got such an unfair treatment -_-
Oh yes it seems they didn't even care for smoke
Even in the older games.
Ikr. He isn't even mentioned in the story and the only time we hear a character say is name is bi-han in a random pre-fight dialogue with his brother. Not even Kuai Liang talks about Smoke, his best friend who was in a near depression over Kuai Liang's cyberization.
Midway/NRS really squander all the potential of world building when it comes to the Netherrealm. They keep the status quo of the most popular two - Scorpion & Noob - and everything else is either forgotten or swept under the rug. The Oni, the Demons, Ashrah *and* Sareena. There is a lot to explore and mine from a plot standpoint, when it comes to this universes equivalent of Hell. But no, we get lame cookie cutter Revenants and generic Doom monsters as the main body of the realm's inhabitants in the new timeline... *_SIGH_*
Plus, before you write him off completely. I do recall reading a particular Khronicle that even managed to give Meat an interesting and engaging story...
I might recall hearing something about that particular Khronicle. ;)
@@The4thSnake Nearly halfway through them. Encouraging to hear they might be continuing. It is the most I've been impressed by MK stories since 2002, with Deadly Alliance.
In MIDWAY's defense, they at least featured a lot of those characters and concepts in prominent and even playable forms. Plus they were the ones who came up with all of that stuff in the first place. Netherrealm doesn't even try. They kill off all of the less popular characters and ignore the richer parts of their lore and universe because dipshits like little Frankie over at the misinformation foundry that is fightersgeneration didn't like them.
Still waiting on Kochal - god of chaos who is worshiped by the Oni, to actually show up besides a small side quest in Deception that is more a tease of something awesome than it is an actual quest.
Or Baphomet to join the canon, or The Evil Ones, considering their concept art and potential world building they could provide would be worth it.
Or hell, let's bring back Lucifer so Shinnok has something to do other than being a little bitch.
What about Belokk? The scrapped MK Gold character.
Glad im not the only one who was confused with sub zero's eye color
sareena’s design (especially her mkx design) alone made her one of my absolute favorites, she has SO MUCH potential and can be really interesting, hope they do more with her someday
I know this doesn't contribute anything but can we take a moment to appreciate how cute Sareena was when Lia was acting as her? 😍
god those redesigns for Sareena are fantastic.....how does Scarlett get in but Sareena doesn't
Skarlet's Netherrealm OC while Sareena is a kinda niche character out of the whole cast so the priorities are obvious
Sareena should've also been the one to help Sub-Zero with the Cyber Lin Kuai in the MK comics instead of Bo Rai Cho.
I bet you if Sareena was to be released as mk11 dlc, they will design her with full metal suit of hard steel armor covering up everywhere for their agenda smfh.
@@bullymaguire5729 cetrion is hot to bad she's not into mortals :(

Big PeePee oh don’t worry my friend, they will cover it up if they ever release her
@@gamerguy6990 I don't see how mkx designs are bad but I understand why mk 2011 is too far
It was nice that someone was thoughtful enough to fill in the blank and actually explain what happened to Sareena for anyone that might’ve wondered.
I wish someone could’ve done that for Smoke, Reptile, Kung Jin, Takeda, Jade or any number of characters that just disappeared for whatever reason between 9, X and 11.
And there's a very odd easter egg in the game regarding Sareena. When Noob defeats Skarlet in the first round he's saying to her: "You're like Sareena". Personally i think that it is a referance by developers that shows that they were choosing between Skarlet and Sareena. Sadly i don't think that Sareena will make it to mk11.
Is that in MK11???

@@BadWolf2755 You're welcome.

I want an MK Mythology Sequel. Fight Me!
I want a Remake with gameplay of Shaolin Monks
NetherRealm: "Sareena served Quan Chi... So what you're saying is, we can sacrifice her in a 15 second cutscene bullshit dark magic ritual to bring back Quan Chi and reveal it was him manipulating Kronika to become the master of the New Era ALL ALONG! This man is a genius, it's in the MK11 canon, done!"
@Definitely a George Soros funded bot In the words of Kronika: "The New Era of the New Era will become the New Era of the New Era and the New New Era of the New Era will be the New Era that all New Eras will never be like because the New Era will be the New Era of all New Eras to come in the New Era and there will be no New Era in the New Era of the New Era of the New Era"
How can you top writing and dialogue like that? You are permitted to consult with the Elder Gods but only 411 times in a 360 hour period!
She's my favorite female in MK, I feel this video lol.
Yh she could be even more interesting, like burning off her tattoo and being scarred from her past and seeing what bi han has become, she could bond with subzero on their quest to save Noob - btw I wish Ashrah was back tbh but they'd ruin her too
Or perhaps instead of burning off her tattoo, an iced over handprint from Sub Zero. A symbol of her turning away from her old life and joining the Lin Kuei.
@@pious83 yh I had that thought too, would be interesting
@@jordangriff2341 It is sad that *we* would think that, yet NRS wouldn't...
@@pious83 I think this is what the channels all about tbh, maybe NRS have lost the passion for character development and lore and focusing more on base level just to rush the game out, its sad really
Sareena is a victim of being a footnote Character, she had not too much of an impact of the story and is just simple forgotten by many or simply an Easter egg. MK X was mostly about establishing the new heroes, so her being there meant she has to give them more screen time than her, like with Sub Zero and The revenants.
Every time I think of what NRS MK could have being considering it's pedigree, I just get pissed off. This is a franchise with so much potential; the awesome characters, the different factions, the different realms, and the different interesting stories that could have been told. Such a shame.
0:34 We call them Quan Chi's Angels.
Lin kueis are my reason for existing, pls keep them on privilege 😂😂
Thank you for this! I've been waiting for Sareena a LONG time! One of my favourite ever characters in MK and shes been seriously underutilised all these years. I genuinely dont understand how she hasn't made it into a proper game outside of Armageddon and how her interesting lore hasn't been capitalised/expanded upon. Maybe if NRS focused on the organisations/clans other than the boring Special Forces...
I'm still pissed off she's not in MK11. After her cameo in MKX, I had some type of expectations.
Love your videos man. They need you at NRS, cause these videos are so amazing.
Thank you.
First of all, for some reason, I want to go work at the place where Mortal Kombat is made, secondly, what does NRS mean?
@@Sketchie_Arts318 it's an abbreviation for netherrealm studios
@@EdMalachite Thank You.
You know for a story like mortal kombat, its a lot more complex then it actually is. Even though story mode in games is longer than movies, it's still not long enough to explain key details of other things. Thats why this series would have to be written in a book, because books have no limits to what they're writing. Of course not just one, but many books. Idk how many
Ugh , I wish Ed Boon stop giving the potential characters the backseat by new characters and guest characters . 😒
As much as I despise NRS’s mishandling of Sindel’s story arc, I’d still consider Sareena the original waifu
This was very enjoyable and very plausible I always love your retakes and versions of how things would go way better...❤️
Now they you mention it.
Almost everyone has brown eyes in MK11.
I'm sure it's just that most of the face models have them, but it isn't difficult to change them. Just look at Scorpion.
Thank you for adding these various issues that continue in NRS as they did in Midway. Sareena and Quan chi both retain the midway era design, regardless the timeline differentiation. It is a possibility that Ashra is a different take on Sareena and some of her story elements, but like Sareena they were never explored past one or two games. As for the konquest mode it doesn't state who is the author, Alex berentine was mkda's original author and an author in mka, Midway's own version of tekken tag 1. I find it odd that the other sub bosses alongside Sareena were not explored as well. The final years of the Tobias and Vogel era gave us many interesting concepts on paper that manifested on character swap levels with unique designs (Sareena, Kai, Tanya, Reiko), all of which suffer from similar points which you've made, i.e: Characters that are swaps rather than complete and unique characters (Tekken used this only a handful of times, like Christie instead of Eddy in T4),.
Thanks to your video I see that continuity and consistency in writing began to suffer ever since mk tournament edition for Sareena (Goro and Shao Khan were connecting their plot to their games. Khan with mkda and Goro with mkte). I hope we'll be able to see more consistency from the team, as some members of that team that gave us firstly the complex characters and their rebooted varients at times.
My morning wad ruined when I realized I was out of eggs then I saw you uploaded a new video and was like sacrifices must be made
While I don't agree with the NRS disapproval, I do 200% with how much potential Sareena has and that she should have been in the game, over god damn Jacqui
Do the people that write for mortal kombat even like mortal kombat?

*I was going to run my choo choo train into Sareena, until Shinnok joined in and yanked Sareena away from me!*
Please write the MK12 story xD No seriously NRS needs to call you up,man
I'm probably the first one back when MK11 was still being revealed that thought Sareena could return and make a wonderful scene or two with Noob..She was afterall saved by him in the first place,now she could have saved him with the help of Kuai Liang
It's one of the stuff I was most excited about and hoped it would make it to MK11,I't could also have been emotional seeing Noob freed n rejoice with Sareena but NOPE -_-
Raiden shouldn't have consulted with the elder gods
It still gets under my skin on how has she not come in contact with the younger brother. Considering bi han survived the soulnado there should have been a chance through the 25-30 year gap she could have seen him.l at least once.
Hell bi han has a win quote against scarlet that mentions her

Can you do a Red Dragon wasted plotential or and Orderrealm/Chaosrealm wasted plotential.
Possibly.
Master Hasashi (bows) please kill Hsu Hao again for our joy 😂✌
Unfortunately the Red Dragon seems like a concept that'll never get another chance. Netherrealm studio just flat out ignored the Armageddon story in this new timeline despite several factors of it still being very much in place. Considering that the Red Dragon's very existence is completely tied to Argus, Blaze and the battle of Armageddon, that's a major blow against their chances of returning. On top of that many people will likely never give Movado and Hsu Hao a chance no matter how well written or improved they become because of stupid overblown internet hate memes.
kayokango I agree but it’d still be a cool video. Discussing how they could have been used better in both timelines. I feel the red dragon were way too underutilized in both timelines. Same for Chaos and Orderrealm
Never got all the hate for the red dragon characters Mavado was one of my favorites in Deadly Alliance and Hsu Hao was fun to play as so why do people hate them? as for Chaosrealm Havik is one of the most heavily requested characters yet gets constantly ignored by NRS the last time I recall him being even mentioned was Noob's MK9 ending, Seido aka Orderrealm has also been all but completely ignored outside of an MK9 ending too what's up with that?!
I really hope they bring her back in MK12. She and Tanya ❤️
Right. They’re both my favorite characters
This age well 😂😂😂
Ay man Kabal wanted a freaky goth girl. You can’t blame the guy
we need playable sareena in the next game.
It seems weird that she hasn’t been playable in the newer instalments she has a cool look and positive feedback I think. Then again neither has Onaga the Sons of Argus & Shujinko & a bunch more ever returned either....NRS are you SUS?.
Hardcore MK fan for nearly 15 years now, I know literally EVERYTHING about the MK Kanon (BOTH timelines) & I let me tell you in KOMPLETE konfidence & honesty that Sareena is the most WASTED kharacter in the franchise, konsidering her potential & significance...
It's annoying when Netherrealm Studios decides to add in a shit ton of guest characters instead of MK ones.
I dont even hate guest characters but if you're gonna add them in, make that shit separate from the Mortal Kombat ones.
Actually Sareena’s bio for Armageddon says that Quan Chi found her and convinces her join his side as one of his warriors again after she loses her human form again after fighting off Noob Saibot and Smoke and the sorcerer promises to give her a permanent human appearance in return. She also thinks that Kuai Liang was better off without her because of the spell Quan Chi put on her. She didn’t want Sub Zero to see her demon form because she was ashamed of it.
Speaking to the hair inconsistencies.. You do know hair can be combed over from left to right lol. All she has to do is part her hair further to the left of her scalp, and the streak will move to the other side of her face when combed over lol. I agree with everything else, but that part just made me giggle lol.
Kabal moves extremely fast. Dude stole Bi Han’s girl.
Sareena is my favorite woman character in the Mortal Kombat series, Ed Boon gave her no justice In the entire series, she only appeared in Mythologies Sub-Zero, the second half of Deadly Alliance, and in Mortal Kombat Armageddon, she only appeared in the new time line in MK X section of the Netherealm, we don't see her again in the rest of the series, like I said before no justice for Sareena screw you Ed Boon ☠️
snake i almost forgot to tell you thank you for making a video on my birthday
Happy Birthday.
Sareena and Ashrah are my babes
Great wasted plotential episode as usual. Probably my favorite one in a while since I really like Sareena.
On a side note, I just watched a Nightwolf intros so far video and it is confirmed. Netherrealm fucking ruined Sindel.
I've heard about that, yeah.
I like Sareena as a character they should use her more often
I've been waiting fir this one. Nicely done, Snake.
Dude, we could get a character with a fucking demon install in an MK game. Someone on the team needs to get fired for not doing this
You know what would be interesting if frost failed rebellion actually injured Serena enough to channel her demon form and she nearly killed frost with it and the younger sub zero not realizing that she's in her demon form retaliates and freezes frost thus he doesn't know of her betrayal! Instead uses it like a super healing technique!
The whole hair thing.... I think humans call that... Bangs. You can style them left or right side of your face .. I do it all the time. ;3
Noob Saibot's MK Deception ending was actually canon except Sareena saved Kuai Liang before Bi-Han & Smoke could kill him.
Great video. I honestly wish her and Ashrah were playable in MK11. Ashrah I miss the most but I don't know if I'll ever see her playable in a future installment sadly.
I was hoping she would've been a dlc in mkx but hopefully she'll be in mk12 along with Tanya too
