Smoke and Scorpion liking his hat makes sense when they are two warriors that rely a lot on weapons and tools that may appear gimmicky (kunai on rope, little mall ninja knife), so they understand the value of a ingenious weapon. While everyone who disses Kung’s hat tend to be magic users of some kind so all they see is a silly hat without thinking about how that shit can just cut your head off.
@@janjems_1210 Maybe, I was thinking of the show Ninja Truth. There examples like a Raiden styled hat that held darts, or a dagger and sheath that resembled a folded fan etc. Anything that can be hidden from view or disguised.
I love how instead of being this crazy weapon everyone just accepts as normal in-world, the hat's now just a crazy gimmick glued together by a country boy. Makes it all the more charming imo
They still thought it was weird lol MK11: Erron Black: From one hat man to another, cool hat Kung Lao: But is yours a deadly weapon? Erron Black: Now that's just weird Kung Lao
That alone has tons of story branches. He was already filming when Kung Lao was presenting the hat to Raiden. He either knows what was going to happen based on visual cues, asked Kung Lao what's up with the hat or Kung Lao presented the hat to him first. Either way, he was going to film what would be the best hat trick ever or the worst idea so far.
In a single universe I would like this Kung Lao to be the chosen one. In the game they treat him as arrogant but he gladly accepted Raiden's victory and being chosen.
I think he's growing up with the good childhood with Raiden and his sister (Fujin?) like an ordinary fengjian boy. Maybe Kung Lao is so ego and arrogant. But in the end. Friendship between friend who grow up together like a brothers is more important than victory.
(Spoiler) It becomes sad as Kung Lao's ego led to Sujinko being evil. This event lead to Kung Lao being more level-headed and not so arrogant when it comes to teaching students. (You learn about it from the arcade ending and pregame interactions with Raiden and Liu Kang)
(Spoilers) There’s a cutscene where Liu Kang meets the other titans from different timelines and Kung Lao is one of them. So they did give him something
Us as kids would be no fucks given (play till it breaks or kills someone) adult us would be too concerned it would ruin the collectability/resale value to have fun with it.
It did crack me up that this universe wasn’t supposed to have mortal kombat, the tournament wasn’t supposed to involve serious injury or death, but Lui Kang didn’t say shit about Kung Lao wanting to bring the equivalent of a circular saw into a fist fight
My first experience with the Mortal Kombat franchise was with Mortal Kombat 9, and Kung Lao became one of my favorite characters because I thought his razor hat was so cool. I do miss the fact that he used his hat in many of strings in Mortal Kombat 11, it was such a cool detail, wish they kept that.
I just love to picture the conversation Between Raiden and Kung Lao with Mileena and Kitana Mileena: *Carrying a bucket of Nails* Kitana: "That is Unsafe and dangerious Mileena" Mileena: "Ima spit it at people"
I mean... practicality aside, it takes a nifty mind to think of a crazy idea like a chakram hat and make it work well... gotta give Kung Lao this, at least.
im glad all people in the comment loves his hat all dudes i know irl keep dissing Kung Lao's hat just like these characters and im being the only one to love it feels like an outkast :'3 legend recogizes ones love yall we, erron black, scorpion and even smoke is in the same team. thanks edboon
It's a large chakram and a boomerang, and both are real world weapons. Granted, most other people he's fighting have greater superhuman powers than that, but it's not nothing.
Homelander: Your hat’s fucking ridiculous. Kung Lao: This hat is much more deadly than you think. Peacemaker: From what I heard about Scorpion, he actually likes your hat. Kung Lao: Do you feel the same way he does about my hat?

Of all the characters, Scorpion being the one who appreciates the hat caught me off guard.
Not only him. Smoke wanted it, apparently.
Kuai Liang has always been a good guy. Bi-han should just Bi-gone tbh
Kuai liang is one of the most chill guys in the franchise, no pun intended
Considering this is Kuai Liang we're talking about, it shouldn't be all that surprising
His weapon is also quite uneffective in theory
"Lose to a fool in a silly hat"
Said the guy that canonically lost to a guy with the same type of hat, minus the razor blades.
Well to be fair it was a lighting magic guy, but I would have to imagine what will happen if Raiden turn Kung Lao hat into electric razor hat lol
Hey that's the idea for next game
"Raiden lao"
@@3takoyakislol, in the final fight of the story mode our character actually fought a dark raiden kunglao combination though
More like: said the guy in a sillier hat
Pretty sure that was a character that was planned to be uses in that kinda crap finale but hey at least we Got... Stung lao

Smokes knife is called a Karambit, it does see use irl in philipino martial arts iirc
Both are historicaly evective turns out
Ninjas like weapons that do not look like weapons

Can we talk about Johnny just casually being in the background and recording Kung Lao's hat

I love that detail
He was hoping kung Lao would fail miserably and he’d have something to laugh at
I didn't even notice that😂😂😂
He is very American. 🤣

That universe does exist. It's Titan Kung Lao's fanfi..., I mean universe
I like that Johnny already had his phone out like he knew Kung Lao was up to something cool or Kung Lao told him to record it.
the 3 of them in this time line is like 3 best friends about to do something extremely stupid and raiden have to put up with their shit
Kung Lao slowly but surely feeling the same as Speedwagon felt after he used his own hat the one time.
Everyone: funny hat
Scorpion:👍
Smoke: Gimme.
At least smoke and scorpion likes it 😂
Ofc the goats like it. I expected nothing less
Kung Lao should join Shirai Ryu.
@Awoken777scorpion > subzero
@Awoken777you didn't have to bring that up for no reason😑
@Awoken777 oh definitely but kuai lang over bi han
As kids many of us wanted a hat like Kung Lao.
As adults we still do but maybe put it on display.
Us as kids would be no fucks given (play till it breaks or kills someone) adult us would be too concerned it would ruin the collectability/resale value to have fun with it.
@@targetseeker Exactly!
I wanted a Ben 10 watch as a kid😭
@@antenna7002I think you mean omnitrix?
Also that is so off topic. :P
Every boy wants a hat that can kill people. That or a power ranger morpher, a robot suit, or a radioactive spider.
"No One is Impressed by Kung Lao's Hat"
Smoke: "I want the hat."
Kung Lao is one of the characters who stuck out to me because of his iconic hat.
Scorpion definitely was thinking "Its silly, but I do find it creative. I'll just compliment him so that I don't hurt his feelings."
It did crack me up that this universe wasn’t supposed to have mortal kombat, the tournament wasn’t supposed to involve serious injury or death, but Lui Kang didn’t say shit about Kung Lao wanting to bring the equivalent of a circular saw into a fist fight
There's no doubt, he missed it.
Considering Shao brought an axe and Kitana her razor bladed fans? I think it's fair Kung Lao gets to bring his hat.
The same lui kang who bestowed the champion with an amulet that grants electrical powers? I think a flying saw blade is a bit on the wayside.
I feel like Smoke was the only one who actually liked the hat
Scorpion too
@@Harry-xs1dd tbh it just sounds like scorpion is trying to be polite 😭
knowing Yuri voiced Smoke just give me a mental image of Spidey wanting to try that hat out
I got Sasuke wanting to use that hat to kill Itachi
Mercury Black from RWBY wanting to use the hat to commit general acts of terror.
Or Marth from Fire Emblem wanting to use it to kill a dragon.
Kung Lao's hat is more iconic than half the roster.
🤣🤣🤣
Reptile: not bad
Scorpion: it’s genius
Smoke: I want one!
Everyone else: it’s a stupid idea
Only Erron Black compliments Kung Lao's hat. I wish he can return as dlc.
"Cool hat"
I mean Scorpion and Smoke like it as well
@@averybruhman5060 as Erron Black: “Hat to hat. Nice hat.”
Me as Kung Lao: “But your hat is no weapon.”
Honestly Kuai Liang liking the hat def explains why we got 2 different fusions of Scorpion and Kung Lao as one of the many multiversal fighters
Tbh rain had the best diss here. " i command water... u comand a hat?"
Smoke: GIVE ME YOUR HAT!
General Shao would be the type to be killed by a fool in a silly hat.
I am impressed. No matter others are or not. It is a damnn creative weapon!

Bruh imagine being roasted by a dude from 1665💀 0:19
Kung Lao: for the last time, Deadpool, my hat is not for sell.
Deadpool: come on! It'll be the highest bid on eBay.
Scorpion is a true homie
At least Smoke appreciates the hat.
Kung Lao hat will always be legendary I don t care what the characters said about his razor blade hat
Smoke did seem to like the hat though
His hat is amazing and I'm glad we got to see where the idea came from 😂
Every Other MK Character's Weapons: Spears, Axes, Hammers, Elemental Powers, Hair
Kung Lao: H A T
I mean sindel's weapon is hair so she can't talk much shit 😭😂
Havik: I AM THE WEAPON!
@@LoreleiSlayer 😂😂😂😂
@@LoreleiSlayer Cage’s be pissed at ya for stealing his line!
0:31 ALL IT TOOK WAS FOUR WORDS FROM SYZOTH
Kung Lao: You fight with arrows
Green Arrow: you fight with a Hat
Smoke: "I want a hat too."
I will never stop having to remind myself that Kuai Liang is Scorpion because Hanzo would probably have dismissed the hat.
He said it, its a chakram. Holy shit.
The Rain interaction cracks me up everytime, delvery is amazing
I believe that Smoke genuinely likes the hat and isn’t just saying that to get under Kung Laos skin.
Kung Lao: you like my hat?
Nitara: yeah yeah now breed with me
Oddjob attempted to sue, but since Kung Lao's hat is not a bowler hat, he didn't get anywhere.
0:10 idk why i laugh so hard at Kung Lao facial expression XD
I mean Smoke using that hat effectively is a terrifying thought.
Smoke seems interested in that hat.
Kung Lao: I lost but i don't have any money
Smoke: Give me your hat!
awww Smoke actually wants the hat XD
Reptile: “sure bro”
The characters are so fun to watch in mk1. NR did a great job reimagining them.
Kung Lao: why is everyone not liking my hat?
Deadpool: come on, you know why.
Kung Lao: "Quiet Sloppy Seconds Super Power Thief"
“It is a worthless gimmick, Kung Lao”
You sure about that, Subs? Because inspirations prior worked on you.
never thought i’d hear shao utter the word “silly”
1:00 I just noticed Johnny Cage, in the background, recording the hat trick on his cellphone.
Kung Lao getting mad when someone insulted his hat is like how Josuke feel when somebody insulted his hair.
Erron Black: from hat guy to another, cool hat
KL: but yours isn't also a projectile
EB: well that's just weird, Kung Lao...
From one hat guy to another, cool hat 🤠
One of the coolest gimmicks in mk.
I’m surprised Johnny Cage didn’t call him Oddjob
Glad to know there are some whom love the hat
I like how johnny is just there filming the entire scene haha
Did Lei Mei do something naughty with the hat? 😂😂😂
Damn, was hoping Cage would call him Oddjob at some point.
I just love to picture the conversation Between Raiden and Kung Lao with Mileena and Kitana
Mileena: *Carrying a bucket of Nails*
Kitana: "That is Unsafe and dangerious Mileena"
Mileena: "Ima spit it at people"
"Lose to a fool with a silly hat?" to be fair, Raiden also wears a similar hat
Albeit a little less silly, given it isn't liable to amputate the wearer's fingers at a moment's notice
Smoke is impressed, he wants that hat!
smoke be like : i want the hat
Smoke and Scorpion are true G:s
Quan Chi: Is that a razor brimmed hat!?
You gotta feel for Kung Lao everyone hates him while everyone worships his best friend because he's the Chosen One....
Different timeline, same result
Not really liu kang gets a lot off shit his way
Mr chosen one is really humble and raiden proved himself by working hard after losing to Kung Lao to bec9me the chosen one
@@retrozip At least he survived this one....for now anyway
its okay kung lao i appreciate your hat
Other characters: i have the powwr of ice, fire, smoke, lighting, etc
Kung Lao: HaT!
Honestly, I'd love to see a short comic about Kung Lao and Oddjob from James Bond swapping stories about lethal hats :D.
You know you went too far when even Shang Tsung mentions your ego
I mean... practicality aside, it takes a nifty mind to think of a crazy idea like a chakram hat and make it work well... gotta give Kung Lao this, at least.
Wait until he starts teleporting with the hat.
im glad all people in the comment loves his hat
all dudes i know irl keep dissing Kung Lao's hat just like these characters and im being the only one to love it feels like an outkast :'3
legend recogizes ones
love yall
we, erron black, scorpion and even smoke is in the same team. thanks edboon
In every timeline after the first, kung lao will be made fun of lol
I just noticed Johnny filming in the background
In another Timeline, Kung Lao becomes the God of hats and thunder
title : no one is impressed with dung lao's hat
smoke : *_I W A N T T H E H A T_*
Kung lao loves his hat like Luffy loves his strawhat
Nice Hat!
It's a large chakram and a boomerang, and both are real world weapons. Granted, most other people he's fighting have greater superhuman powers than that, but it's not nothing.
Rain wearing a covid mask 😂
Respect to Tomas and Kuai Lang were loving the hat and screw the ones who don't
I am not playing that razor hat that will kill me
And he actually thanks Sub Zero for his hat. 😂
0:07 He commands a what, dude?
I knew he'd cut himself on that hat one of these days lol
Lose to a fool in a silly hat?
I mean...💀
Homelander: Your hat’s fucking ridiculous.
Kung Lao: This hat is much more deadly than you think.
Peacemaker: From what I heard about Scorpion, he actually likes your hat.
Kung Lao: Do you feel the same way he does about my hat?
Well at least smokes wants that hat lmao xd
Except Smoke and Scorpion, they dig the hat.
At least Erron Black likes his hat
My hat, it has sharp edges. Sharp edges has my hat. And if it had not sharp edges, it would not be my hat.
Kung lao kameo players know what the hat does.
Personally I love that hat😊, and despite the other characters only Scorpion and Smoke like it😊😅
He's so proud of it tho 😢
Let Kung Lao cook 🔥
