And also as a fan of the lore: the shot in MKX where Kuai Liang and Hanzo Hasashi bow to eachother gave me fanboy goosebumps, and i remember letting out a little squeak of joy when i first saw the shot at 55:30 when they're both together running into the tunnel in MK11. Their chapter was my favorite, and honestly one of my biggest disappointments in the MK11 story was not being able to have even a brief shot of Sub saying goodbye or mourning his old friend Grandmaster Hasashi after his death, even if he still fights beside Scorpion.
@@GamerThumbTV i trust that you've seen the Spawn non canon ending? Super awesome how it's Kuai and Hanzo who are his comrades during that fighting demons with him lol.
What's also a little strange is how Kuai Liang is pretty similar to Lui Kang in terms of sound and spelling and how they are both on a quest to avenge a fallen family member.... At least Lui Kang's plot in the first MK movie.
Kuai Liang was truly my introduction into MK as a fleshed out universe. I cosplay and bought a Sub-Zero costume. I had played a few of the games occasionally but knew nothing of the lore and backstory, but i commit to characters i cosplay so i studied. Learning all i could about him lead me into the larger MK lore and I've been hooked ever since, even going as far as to write a short story set between the mkx comic and mkx. Sub-Zero is my ticket into the MK universe and i am very happy to have sat down and watched this. Great job as always!
@@GamerThumbTV what is your favorite Sub-Zero default costume? Gotta go with MK11 default or the Deadly Alliance one, the armor he found when taking Frost to the temple. Oh yea, and Frost is the worst. Fuck Frost lol, Anakin Frostwalker there. She makes Anakin seem well adjusted, mature, and put together. And at least when Anakin got cyberized he got to be Darth Vader. Frost just turned into a monstrosity, and a lame one at that (all personal opinion of course lol).
I'm surprised that no one said the significant of the tea thing to his character is in X with Hanzo in these types of videos. The fact he went the extra mile to do a Japanese tea ceremony for Hanzo really shows how committed he is to make an alliance to their clans.
@@hamakuasledgehammer1920 I just enjoy the times MK was simpler. 2 sub zero's, one died one was a brother avenging his dead brother and 1 pallet swap named after the creators. Boon is a jahoo big nosed money hungry pig tho. Got rid of the entire Saibot, it's like Tobais's hard work was never a thing. Boon must be rubbing his hands profusely, while counting his sheckles in the WB office charging for that MK11 DLC.
The friendship between Sub-Zero and Ex-Scorpion is honestly one of my favorite things in all Mortal Combat. Two former vicious enemies, grown up into two old men who just fucking love gardening.
Wooo! Sub-Zero TIMELINE! I literally just stopped watching a new awesome anime to catch this as the first view. I love this series so much and truly want to see more. Also i hit that like button harder than the Mortal Kombat live tour bombed.
Kuai Liang becoming the new Sub-Zero, becoming the Lin-Kuei GrandMaster, finally becoming friends with Hanzo Hasashi from the Shiri-Ryu, the best thing to happen in Mortal Kombat history, a great history of Kuai Liang Fabian ✊
Who knew that the voice of a cowardly jet (transformers prime starscream) and an alien squid conqueror (vilgax from the original Ben 10 and Ben 10 omniverse) would make a good sub zero
John Turk is super cool. I met him at a Comic-Con once and have commented on his IG stuff and he always seems to love interacting with fans and even after all these years has a love for MK
At least the ending for SubZero in MK9 would eventually come true, though not in the exact same way. For the next Untold Legends I'm hoping it'll be for either Kano, Sonya, Jax or Kitana.
47:56 He causally lets Jeacqui beat the breaks off him then moved onto the next Kombat Kid like he taught her a lesson. You think we;'re just gonna ignore that.
32:38 .... Noob Saibot: we're blood not brothers.....Sub Zero: then I will not regret your defeat!!! Noob Saibot instantly grabs him with his double then says I'm going to retire you and proceeds to beat the s*** out of him 😂
Sub-Zero is one of my personal favorite MK Characters. Even though I never played the games, I have been interested in the MK series ever since 9 came out. Another excellent untold legends video, now.....*looks at MK monster Characters* who's next?
The Chinese Ninja Warrior with a heart so cold. Many people argue who is the more popular between him and Scorpion, and though both are great, I like Sub Zero just a little bit more.
I saw this while watching matt mcmuscles video on mythologies. You earned a subscribe when i clicked and saw super saiyan Bardock on your intro. You are a man of culture. Well done video man
This series and the RE series of videos you've made are definitely my favourite. Lots of goof effort and information put into them! Keep up the good work :-)
@@GamerThumbTV my thoughts exactly. In my eyes Sub-Zero achieved so much more and has a strong sense of integrity that is tempered with stronger discipline
So how do powers work in the Mortal Kombat universe? Are people born with them, do they activate upon the year of Mortal Kombat, do they always have them?
@@GamerThumbTV thanks for answer :) I heard the cryomancer thing in your video. That is a pretty cool thing in it self. Makes me wonder if maybe other people from other dimensions came to Earth like the cryomancers did and spread their dna/abilities to humans.
@@GamerThumbTV awesome because trunks is one my favorite characters from dragon ball and it would be great to see a video on the lone warrior of hope as I like to call him
@@GamerThumbTV well he could just simply absorb Bi-Han's soul. Of course, another way to look at it would be Kronika's design. Maybe it would be a collaboration between Shang Tsung and Quan Chi.
Bi Han /OG Sub: Chinese/Caucasian oldest sibling who walks his path to the DARK side Kuai Liang/Sub2: Chinese/Caucasian middle sibling who secretly lives his bro SHADOW Lisa Liang/Frost: Chinese/Caucasian youngest sibling a bi polar brat who thinks she can take her big bro
It would have been so cool to see sub zero fighting against his past cyber sub zero were he would free his mind and cyrax in fighting together and going after sector and noob, but NO we got rip off killing off cyrax and sector and scorpion big let down😕
To be honest they missed all the oppertunities in mk11. They only focus on the special forces and killing off the old characters. Why can't we see our favourite characters on screen 🙁
Frost was awesome in Deadly Alliance but sucks in MK11 and that sucks I was So hyped for her and Skarlet but none the less they were Both disappointing frost more then Skarlet
I love MK but man the stories suffered after Tobias left. It's just a mash of randomness fantasy and pop culture references. Lol for a game that is so much about gore and death, nobodies really dies in MK. They just get respawned in the silliest ways, MK11 adding the time travel element is just cheesy and cringy lazy writing. Literally I all got from MK9-11 was Sub Zero dies and is mutated into a new version of himself, becomes human and honorable again, then gets mutated again, then honorable. Same with Scorpion is evil then becomes good, throws a fit and becomes evil again. Cringe.
It was randomness fantasy and pop culture even before Tobias left. Actually, it was prevalent _while_ he was still in charge. It was because of Tobias that a riot cop of all people was chosen to defend Earth from an invading parallel dimension. That we didn't get time travel until just now in of itself surprising Characters respawning? You mean like how characters like Mileena and Johnny Cage being killed in MK2 later being revived in the next game, sometimes with no rhyme or reason? Cringey, cheesy lazy writing? Like practically every ending in MK4? "Same with Scorpion is evil then becomes good, throws a fit and becomes evil again". So...literally his character motivation from MK1 to 4 where he did the exact same thing, when Tobias was in charge. How much of the Tobias era do you actually remember? Or were you just not paying attention to this retrospective?

Ironic how Johnny called him unpleasantly cold, even tho in chinese 快涼 Kuai Liang means pleasantly cold

@@clvnhrrs1214 Looks like mortal kombat likes to make the Chinese(Japanese) avenge their fallen family and clans

@@ThreshmanEntertainment I always liked his MK3 look. It was the first time we saw him unmasked as a playable fighter and with his scar.

I actually love seeing Sub-Zero and Scorpion as allies. They genuinely make such an awesome team up.
I love how his ending is him redeeming the brother he loves with all his heart
And it looks like in the New Era Bi-Han might still retain some darker tendencies.
I love Sub Zero. He’s my favorite MK character, though I do prefer Kuai Liang over Bi Han.
GamerThumbTV Even as regular Bi-Han he was like an actual assassin. He was remorseless and corrupted. I do enjoy Bi Han’s shit talking as Noob.

I was actually gonna watch the Life of Brian right now, but Now I need to take a pause and watch your video on my favourite Sub Zero...Kuai Liang!🙂
Thanks! My favourite video game character of all time!
I saw and instantly clicked on this!! Needed some informative background noise lol
Seen this clicked went straight to sleep, with this playing in the background so clutch
Kindred souls!
Same
Finally after requesting for kuai liang i dont regret subscribing tnx

This youtube acc has the BEST timelines PERIOD.
What a fantastic video man sub-zero has always been my favorite character and this history lesson just made me love him even more 🤘🏻❄
Its funny that Jaqui was the only one in the cut scene to land some good hits on sub, even if it was training.

I started watching your channel with the castlevania time line and now love everything you put out
I have played and watched a lot of mortal kombat, but only now did I realize Sub-Zero was played by my favorite VA in MKX.
Amaaaaazing, plays out like a DOC, congrats and thanks!!
Sub-Zero is one of my personal favorite MK Characters. Even though I never played the games, I have been interested in the MK series ever since 9 came out. Another excellent untold legends video, now.....*looks at MK monster Characters* who's next?
Austin Hudson I Know what You mean Man sub-zero Is The best
@@jalenikezeue4114 damn straight.
I genuinely never get why Quan-chi tells scorpion he’s the murderer since he would 100% murder him given the chance
Plot lol. At least in the altered timeline Sub-Zero tells on him.
I also think Quan Chi was counting on Scorpion’s rage to blind him.
Quan Chi got over confident and arrogant. So he deserved what he got when Scorpion killed him.
In fact this video by 4th Snake pretty much shows how stupid Quan Chi can be when it comes to his schemes. th-cam.com/video/rFaiPhRPRks/w-d-xo.html
that live kabal fucked me up
Awesome job
Awesome timeline video of the best Mortal Kombat character ,that got me interested and started playing mortal kombat.
The Chinese Ninja Warrior with a heart so cold. Many people argue who is the more popular between him and Scorpion, and though both are great, I like Sub Zero just a little bit more.
Also at 5:40 - 5:42 you say emeny instead of enemy haha but still awesome non the less.
I saw this while watching matt mcmuscles video on mythologies. You earned a subscribe when i clicked and saw super saiyan Bardock on your intro. You are a man of culture. Well done video man
Haha, my favorite Saiyan. Welcome to the channel!
Your channel is amazing. Love your coverage of the resident evil series and then I find this? You deserve way more subscribers
32:06 this reunion low-key hurt. Bi Han was cutting deep.
I love that scene in MK 11 where Sub and Scorpion just stab the shit out of that one cyber guard. It’s just hilarious.
It's probably willing one, to which is understandable for them to kill it
This series and the RE series of videos you've made are definitely my favourite. Lots of goof effort and information put into them! Keep up the good work :-)
John Turk was a beast!!
Guy had massive arms as Sub-Zero lol
It's funny that they never mentioned the in universe name for Noon Saibot, like if its suppose to mean something in the netheream?
2 dislikes ?.....that's Noob and Quan Chi
30:13 Cyber Sub-Zero’s HUD imaging says “Boon - Beran Station”. I wonder if that’s a reference to Ed Boon?
Amazing. Just as good as the Scorpion one. SUPERB!
Love these MK videos!
I remember somebody saying that Frost was the daughter of their sister that was left behind with their mother
Can we please have a video about Kung Lao because he's got lot of Mad Skills ✋🏻👊🏻🐉🐉🌸For The Shaolin
Cyber Show Khan should really be an alt costume in 11. Or at least a cyborg like armour.
That live action tour looked so cringe!
Gotta admit Kuai Liang has a sick ass beard in mkx and mk11
Bearded Kuai Liang > non bearded Kuai Liang.
Frost doesn't know what Honor is
Any shot at u making a video about havoc?
I'm covering every single character over time..so yes
GamerThumbTV keep up the great work my friend. Your channel definitely helps during this pandemic
You'd think Cassy and her group would have noticed they were being actively lectured by Sub-Zero.
Could you do Sho kahn im and this my first vid i watched, like your channel already , I subscribed today
MY favourite character
3:33 Shang Tsung looks like Nightwolf lol
Didn’t think it was possible to feel bad for quan chi, dayum.
Hey dude, I'm proud of you. 👍
All we need now is Raiden and Mortal Kombat's big four will be done.
1:03:36 The Best ending.
Kuai liang is the true sub zero noob is just the black adam of the family
Did anyone else notice that in MKX Jacqi was the only one to technically beat Sub Zero 1 on 1?
#Gamerthumbsquad
Who would say is the better Sub-Zero?
@@GamerThumbTV my thoughts exactly. In my eyes Sub-Zero achieved so much more and has a strong sense of integrity that is tempered with stronger discipline
That one cyborg death is still the most unnecessary but hilarious Overkills in the franchise.
So how do powers work in the Mortal Kombat universe? Are people born with them, do they activate upon the year of Mortal Kombat, do they always have them?
It's never been fully explained for everyone. As far as Sub-Zero he was part of a race called Cryomancers that were born with ice abilities.
@@GamerThumbTV thanks for answer :) I heard the cryomancer thing in your video. That is a pretty cool thing in it self. Makes me wonder if maybe other people from other dimensions came to Earth like the cryomancers did and spread their dna/abilities to humans.

Hanzo and Sub-Zero together is the coolest thing that's come out of MK

Can we please have a video about Sonya Blade
I always put the next character up for a vote until I get through everybody.
Have you thought of doing the Gta timeliness 3d and hd
Baraka. And Kabal
I've actually covered both of them already.
32:35 sub zero really tried...😢😢
The cryomancers were from Edenia, migrated to Outworld and went almost extinct with only 3 known survivors.
Sub-Zero is Edenian.

@@GamerThumbTV OK yeah your right about that. Wouldn't be the only ending that seemed to have no real significance.
Hey they never said Frost's real name.

Yea the Mortal Kombat X comic filled in a TON of gaps not covered in the game.
Was it ever specified on who tried to kill Shang Tsung? Like who put a contract on him?
@@GamerThumbTV well he could just simply absorb Bi-Han's soul. Of course, another way to look at it would be Kronika's design. Maybe it would be a collaboration between Shang Tsung and Quan Chi.
