Well they have power they are just the laziest gods ever. The elder gods are invdividually the strongest after the one being and together they were able to defeat the one being,Shinnok at full power and defeated easily shao Kahn with souls in mk9 ending. They have power but they refuse to act unless the realms are threatened from merging which the one being emerges. The problem is Shinnok can destroy the realms himself and now these guys with elder god equivalent power
I recall Quan Chi calling out the Elder God's to Raiden,"toothless worms", in MK9. I guess most of the bad guys kinda feel pity to the heroes when the only good elder gods is Raiden and Fujin, while the only elder gods with teeth is Kronika and Shinnok (and a bit of Cetrion... who are related together...yikes. And worst off, most of the solutions to the threats against the realms were either soft handed punishments (Shinnok, Shang tsung), misguided decisions (Shao Khan), or even just bad luck and neglect (Daegon). Lord Liu Kang is weirdly a step up.
Raiden: May the Elder Gods forgive me. Shinnok: The same Elder Gods who just ignored you, cast me out for speaking ill of them, and literally sat there as the portals over their thrones built up the energy to destroy them? I fear that "forgiveness" may have been removed from their dictionary and replaced with more reinforcement of their arrogance.
Raiden: Shinnok, you *must* understand where I'm coming from. The Elder Gods have good intentions. They *always* have the balance of the realms as their main interest. Shinnok: Raiden, they sat back in their cuckold chairs while Shao Kahn was running around merging realms, so that he could inadvertently summon The One True Being. Thereby, ending *all of existence* . Raiden: I mean, they always plan ahead. Shinnok: Remember Mortal Kombat Armageddon? Raiden: I mean, it worked out didn't it? Shinnok: Almost all of your mortal friends and loved ones died (twice) and the only reason you and a select few survived (at the time) was because you had a divine power up at the last minute. Which is crazy because, and correct me if I'm wrong, *you are literally the God of lightning and fucking thunder* ! Raiden: Well you're supposed to be the God of death, but you entrusted your evil plans to a greedy sorcerer and his merry little band of fuck-ups who were so bad at necromancy that I bet they couldn't even resurrect from erectile dysfunction even if you gave them a step-by-step herbal recipe that they could make in their own backyard! Shinnok: Raiden, look at me. I was cast down and banished for speaking the truth. Meanwhile, you and Fujin literally had to depower yourselves and help your allies because the Elder Gods are basically trans dimensional politicians. The only reason I felt bad for Rain, Taven and Daigon was because, surprise surprise, Gods are terrible parents. Raiden: Okay fine! What's your point? Shinnok: If I get incapacitated all over again, because you of all people should know I can't die, promise me one thing. One, singular, thing. Raiden: What? Shinnok: If I permanently die or, myself forbid, if I get erased from whatever brand new timeline gets created, do not call upon the Elder Gods. They're self-righteous idiots who don't know the *first thing* about doing their fucking jobs and they'll only call upon any nearby mortal who has the misfortune of "hearing voices". Raiden: I don't know what to say. Shinnok: Just say yes or so help me, I will make sure that Shao Khan has access to both Quan Chi and Shang Tsung's skills/abilities in the next reset. Raiden: Done. Shinnok: Good, now teleport us out of here. It smells burnt giant bodies and privilege in here.

They see the giant portals forming above them, and they just sit there and do nothing. You know, I’m starting to think Shinnok was right about these guys.
@Aristocratic13 He said it in the scene, they are arrogant, they always have been. Not to mention complacent, so much so that when the elder gods were in imminent danger..they did nothing!
Largely up to interpritation. Firstly is the arrogance. Secondly, it seems Shinnok want the power, not to be ruled over. And third, as we learned from Kronoka in 11, he was built to be pure evil, while Cetrion was his opposite in good.
It is canon it is a separate timeline. The deadly alliance weren’t that strong originally. Well at least not a ywhre near matching Shinnoks power even as a fallen elder god both Shang Tsung and quan chi feared Shinnok and flat out admitted that they do not want to face Shinnoks wrath even as a fallen elder god prettt much confirming shinnok even as a fallen god was stronger than they were. Fallen elder god shinnok would still destroy the deadly alliance theh feared shinnok in earlier moments they even said they needed to gain shinnoks power to face him. Dragon king was only powerful bcuz he possessed the kamidogu when he faced the deadly alliance and honestly I think he would still defeat them even without it not bcuz he was that strong without the kamidogu but bcuz the deadly alliance is literally the two weakest bosses of the series needing to team up in order to even be a credible threat to begin with. Onaga had the kamidogu at the end of deceptions konquest and that was the events right before the deception intro where raiden and deadly alliance battle then Onaga and them. Onaga was indeed very powerful with the kamidogu but it was bcuz of them that he achieved that power without them he wasn’t that powerful in Armageddon. In fact it was Onaga who flat out stated he needed Blazes power in order to then go after Shinnok he also mentioned if Shinnok regained his full power that he would be amongst the dead only further proving Shinnoks dominance over all these guys. Even shao Kahn was reluctant to admit that Shinnok would be the end of all things if he regained power again and that the realms would fall. Onaga was actually a servant of Shinnok before. The same way Onaga was once Shao Kahn’s master,Shinnok was also at one time Onagas master.that is something that doesn’t get mentioned often enough and not a lot of people know about. Onaga with kamidogu may defeat a full power elder god shinnok but even then shinnok at full power wasn’t far from that level of power he would lose but he wouldnt be outclassed he’d just put up a good fight and lose but still its the point that Shinnok was literally a villain that was naturally as powerful as he was and he had to have his power reduced. Onaga on the other hand needed the kamidogu to achieve power that rivaled or surpassed the elder gods but without the kamidogu Onaga himself would was never equal to Shinnok or other elder gods otherwise Onaga wouldn’t have a need for them to begin with
The original deadly alliance killed Liu kang by sneak attack and killed a clone of shao Kahn and were unfortunate to die at Onaga ONLY bcuz he had the kamidogu without them maybe Onaga would’ve won anyway but it wouldn’t have been a slaughter it would’ve been a fight Onaga wouldn’t have come out unscathed had he not had the kamidogu but he still would’ve won. Deadly alliance originally wasn’t very strong they just faced fortunate circumstances in their favor like I literally just explained but unfortunate end when facing someone who had the kamidogu (it literally could’ve been anyone else who had the kamidogu and that person would’ve been the strongest still) but this one here is much more powerful than the original now they are true deities
Remember the beginning of MK 11 I think it was? Shinnok under torture from Dark Raiden urges him to understand the true nature of the Elder Gods. He was cast out for speaking on it. It's that they're useless probably.
@@ArtMaster09not really. They destroyed shao khan bcuz he tried merging into earth realme without winning the tournament. Otherwise they would've done jackshit lmfao
@@DoralgaThat wasn't *useful* though, they essentially used Scorpion to do their work in repayment for his clan to be ressurrected. When the Elder Gods repaid them, the Shirai Ryu were just mindless husks
“They masquerade as dragons. But are mere toothless worms”- Shao Kahn I also think they’re afraid to do anything because they have fear in awakening the one being.
When the first god starts getting vaporized youd think the others would stand up but they just sit there like "clearly she wasnt a TRUE elder god. Surely i can withsta-OH HOLY SHIT!"
Cetrion getting divided by zero for her hubris in ignoring even Shinnok - her brother - is well-deserved. If two people who despise each other come together to warn you of a looming danger, maybe actually consider for a moment that they might have a point. Cetrion helped Kronika in trying to restore Shinnok, yet ignored Shinnok when he warns her of another danger. Where's your precious balance of light & dark now?
Kronika does not always have the same endgame while crafting a timeline. Shao Khan would have ruled if Raiden did not rewind time on the pyramid of Argus.
Two sorcerers that stole Shinnoks full elder god power that he’s been seeking the entire series to restore Reminds me of Onaga which used the kamidogu to do the same to become much b stronger than he himself was on his own. He was powerful only bcuz he used the relics which contained the one beings power but he himself was both manipulated directly by the one being and a puppet for it to begin with bcuz the one being wanted to become whole. Originally Onaga was NOT originally evil like he was shown to be in deception that was actually the one being directly influencing him and his evil was actually the one beings essence. Onaga himself was once a good powerful but good ruler to his outworld ppl then shao Kahn killed him when Kahn was only general or advisor shao and much weaker but as Kahn became shao Kahn or emperor shao Kahn he became much stronger and it makes sense why he later killed Onaga in Armageddon bcuz he surpasses his master after his death. To avoid being killed by shao Kahn who has been emperor for a long time now Onaga wanted the kamidogu but it was once again really onagas thinking but really it was the one being influencing Onaga when he died to revive himself to gather the kamidogu so the one being himself returned it was nvr about Onaga although the game made it seem that way. Similarly Shang tsung and quan chi have managed to steal an elder gods power shinnok
They were warned and Shinnok was actually right, the Elder Gods became too arrogant and that arrogance was their own undoing. Shao Khan was right, they were mere toothless worms.

@@RedCommunistDragon Which ultimately amounted to nothing because they failed to realized Shinnok led them into doing it. They could've just stopped Shao Kahn to begin with, but they instead got duped by a former Elder God.
Shinnok: Hey Liu Kang, C'mre. Raiden gave me a permission to share some funny clips *show this scene* Liu Kang: Even Baraka contribute more than them...... How sad.
That awkward moment when you realise Shinnok was right about them all along. Those elder gods need to be defended not otherwise. They're were always useless and served only as a "plot armor".
Now, to be fair, the Elder Gods have never been toppled before in any timeline we know. Shao Kahn may have had a chance if he did some shenanigans with Blaze's power after Armageddon, but we don't know, because as always, Raiden meddled with Kronika's design. The only time they were actually extinct was when Cetrion betrayed them. Cetrion is the counterpart to her brother Shinnok, so it's no surprise she's that strong. But here, the Deadly Alliance actually prevailed against the Elder Gods. Save for Titans, they can top over anyone, maybe even Shinnok and Raiden.
Im not saying Shinnock is right or anything. But the Elder Gods are just…bad. Every time they think they can handle or not have to worry about a danger, they’re promptly get humbled
This is almost as disappointing as building up Dark Raiden just to kill him off at the beginning of your next game only to then bring him back in the next one just to have him loose to Mileena. NetherRealm needs to hire better writers because the ones they currently got are just wasting the storytelling potential that these games have.
Who says just because they took shinnoks power that they want to destroy everything? They never have they’ve only wanted to rule all things and all realms. Shang Tsung only wanted to destroy the single timeline of Liu kang in mk1 only bcuz it is the timeline that the Liu kang that defeated Shang Tsung in mk11 came from that’s it. Also quan chi and Shang Tsung have turned on shinnok and shao Kahn. They used shinnoks own power,the relics which contain his full elder god power (formerly his amulet) which I think the relics combine to create the amulet But they used his own power to become powerful why would he not want revenge against them too!? I don’t think he cared for Shang tsung botj bcuz he was just completely inferior to him but also because he was only a minion himself to shao Kahn and shinnok is above them all so why would he care? Now he has a reason to battle him for revenge and take back his power
Raiden: May the elder gods forgive me. Me: Raiden Raiden (My boy) Raiden, THEY DON'T EXIST ANYMORE! YOU AND LIU KANG ARE THE ONLY ELDER GOD NOW! SHINNOK STAB YOU IN THE BACK!

Me: Do something. Do Something. Do SOMETHING! FUCKING MOVE AT LEAST!
Elder Gods: Die
Me: If OnLy ThIs CoUlD bE aVoIdEd!
I get the feeling that the Elder Gods just kind of wanted this kind of retirement.
Was there ever a moment where the Elder Gods were actually useful?
That one moment when they powered Raiden after being beaten by Shao Kahn at the end of MK1
Okay there is that, but what about during his invasions of the realms like Edenia? What did they do there?
@@RedCommunistDragon Which ultimately amounted to nothing because they failed to realized Shinnok led them into doing it.
They could've just stopped Shao Kahn to begin with, but they instead got duped by a former Elder God.
@@LegionIvory Indeed, but still useful.
Yes but only at the end when people have already died and earthrealm is close to being destroyed
The Elder Gods in MK Annihilation did more than here lol
"Where are the Elder Gods now Raiden? They're pathetic Mortal Kombat shackles me no longer!"
*👊
They tried warning them but didn't listen.
Shinnok: Hey Liu Kang, C'mre. Raiden gave me a permission to share some funny clips *show this scene*
Liu Kang: Even Baraka contribute more than them...... How sad.
That awkward moment when you realise Shinnok was right about them all along. Those elder gods need to be defended not otherwise.
They're were always useless and served only as a "plot armor".
I think the hidden sad part here is shinnok is trying to save his older sister here, even when he won't admit it
yo where fujin at
And nothing of value was lost.
Now, to be fair, the Elder Gods have never been toppled before in any timeline we know. Shao Kahn may have had a chance if he did some shenanigans with Blaze's power after Armageddon, but we don't know, because as always, Raiden meddled with Kronika's design. The only time they were actually extinct was when Cetrion betrayed them. Cetrion is the counterpart to her brother Shinnok, so it's no surprise she's that strong. But here, the Deadly Alliance actually prevailed against the Elder Gods. Save for Titans, they can top over anyone, maybe even Shinnok and Raiden.
Im not saying Shinnock is right or anything. But the Elder Gods are just…bad. Every time they think they can handle or not have to worry about a danger, they’re promptly get humbled
Sometimes Top Dawgs need to be humbled.
So let me get this correct the Elder Gods could have helped but choose not to like wtf
So we fight the name of elder gods, and they don't give a shxt about us 🤔 ,
They care about maintaining the balance of the realms
Just like real world religion. Most of them anyway.
The gods in mortal kombat have to be the weakest gods ever depicted in fiction. They die more often than mortals for the dumbest reasons.
The enemy of Raiden's enemy is Shinnok.
Shinnok was right about the Elder Gods. And if I am wrong then may Kronika strike me down where I stand
Kronika isn't real bruh
Shut up I’m referencing a TFS scene
This is almost as disappointing as building up Dark Raiden just to kill him off at the beginning of your next game only to then bring him back in the next one just to have him loose to Mileena. NetherRealm needs to hire better writers because the ones they currently got are just wasting the storytelling potential that these games have.
I swear.
Such an Unholy alliance
1:35 Raiden i swear to god.
No matter what time-line, elder gods are gonna be useless....
gettin' real sick of your shit, Elder gods.
Since when does Shinnok not want to join the sorcerers and destroy all of reality?!
It may be a pride thing. He would want to be the soul reason and not share the glory
Who says just because they took shinnoks power that they want to destroy everything? They never have they’ve only wanted to rule all things and all realms. Shang Tsung only wanted to destroy the single timeline of Liu kang in mk1 only bcuz it is the timeline that the Liu kang that defeated Shang Tsung in mk11 came from that’s it.
Also quan chi and Shang Tsung have turned on shinnok and shao Kahn. They used shinnoks own power,the relics which contain his full elder god power (formerly his amulet) which I think the relics combine to create the amulet
But they used his own power to become powerful why would he not want revenge against them too!? I don’t think he cared for Shang tsung botj bcuz he was just completely inferior to him but also because he was only a minion himself to shao Kahn and shinnok is above them all so why would he care? Now he has a reason to battle him for revenge and take back his power
Shinnok wanted to kill the freaking elder gods, now he cant hahaha
*May the Elder Gods forgive me.*
Bruh. WHAT Elder Gods?
Before you all say, (shinnok) been stab (raiden) in the back. I already knew.
One of the elder gods is just a SC Protoss.
Yes it is
0:13 1:21 1:54
Damn. I wish we got THIS story in mk11 n Mk12. Instead of what we got in mk1. This is FAR MORE interesting.
I miss the old Raiden Voice
Who will Raiden consult with now?
Hopefully someone that isn’t completely useless like these guys
His father, Shinnok
raiden and shinnok working tgthr??
Yep.
And Shinnok was like, "Those beams from the sky? Should have used those millions of years ago."
Imo I prefer this story over what we got in Mk1.
The Elder Gods: the worst deities in all of fiction.
Did this game come out yet
Is it me or elder god left side sounds like mk1 shang tsung?
why did they just SIT there and do nothing
Why Cetrion didnt believe Raiden and Shinnok. One of them is her brother and I doubt Raiden and Shinnok willing to work together without a reason.
Raiden: May the elder gods forgive me.
Me: Raiden Raiden (My boy) Raiden, THEY DON'T EXIST ANYMORE! YOU AND LIU KANG ARE THE ONLY ELDER GOD NOW! SHINNOK STAB YOU IN THE BACK!
Would have been nice to see the Elder Gods act for once. But i guess it would resolved the game too easily.
The gods are a fraud and Shinnok has proved it.
The elder frauds
