I don’t think friendships were ever about exclusively doing something for the opponent. They just do something innocent in general. If I remember correctly, Sheva’s classic one was just her balancing plates while the opponent still falls over and dies. Maybe my memory is failing me tho.
Friendships are substitutes for killing your opponent, they where first added to stop people complaining about Mortal Kombat from being to violent. Having the characters do fun, goofy and entertaining things based on or in contrasts to their personality and backgound. Also you missed Rambo, Rain and Mileena
Netherealm does indeed have the rights to Batman. Considering they created the 2 Injustice games and the MK VS DC game. But I doubt they'd want to create a new model for batman just for this game's art style for just a cameo in Joker's friendship
That's actually exactly what Ed Boon said. They didn't make the model just for a cameo because then everyone would have bitched them out for Batman not being playable
They wouldn’t have to create a new model for that, they can easily just use the same Injustice 2 model since both MK11 and Injustice 2 use the same engine.
Also Batman doesn’t kill Wouldn’t make since for Batman to be in a game where the fighting is pretty much a fight to the death and they’d have to give him some fatalities and like i said before..Batman doesn’t kill
I think that Friendship doesnt have to do anything with the character your fighting with, it would be the real person your fighting with. Friendships are a way to finish a round without hurting your oppenent and to show a sign of *friendship* between eachother Also some of these..yes some dont make sense, like "what does that have to do with them thats weird" I think they do make sense because the friendships revolve around their abilities and your character having a fun time (Abilities as in for example: Kotal khan: uses his sun ray power to have a nice tan Noob: uses his shadow clones to play jump rope Jade: uses her Bo-staff to break a piñata Geras: uses his sand powers to make a sandcastle ETC.) So yeah, to the other character it may not represent an actual friendship buts more to put your actual opponent at ease and let your own character have a fun time using their abilities for fun!
They're not all about giving stuff. Most of the fighters do random stuff for their friendships like in UMK3 , Kano blows a bubble gum, Sindel kicks a field goal, or Jade turns her pole into a pogo stick xD
How do you keep saying they don't make sense? They all use their powers to do something funny/out of character. That people wouldn't expect. They're not doing it for the opponent, and it's deliberately not supposed to make sense. 🙄You both are wayyy too critical
- All MK 9-11 Fatalities. - All MK 9 Babalities. - All MK 9-11 X-Rays/Fatal Blows - All MK X-11 Funny or Best Intrductions between characters. - Kombat Kids Animation. Theres no problem for me by watching them with cens.
Raiden's friendship is a nod to his MK2 Friendship, but back in MK2 he would just summon Kidd Thunder and he would say "Kidd Thunder!" and that was it. Now it's a bit more elaborate 😄
It’s also a tribute to a dance group that performed in America’s got talent. I don’t remember the name of the group but the theme of the performance was mortal kombat. They did a light show like raiden and kid thunder do in the friendship.
Slight bummer but Rambo, Mileena & Rain where missing in that video Might be konfusing I guess but I believe just the fact that they're not killing you is a sign of friendship lol Some where kall backs or lore specific like Kotal Kahns he draws power from the SUN to strengthen or heal himself. Gotta check out Babalities from MK9 so funny 😆
I'm more than fine with censoring the fatalites because it doesnt change your honest reaction to them. Also now you both need to see Ed boon explain every MK11 friendship.
To be fair, the Friendships always have been something for the Kombatant who's performing it, not for the opponent. They are supposed to be something silly and harmless to oppose the Fatalities and to adress the backlash they were having back in the time due to their violence. "Let your enemy alone and just have fun."
Hopefully we get FRIENDSHIPS back for MK1🤞🤞! I would love to know what Acahara’s Friendship would be. Also yes I would love to see all the Fatalities, Brutalities and X-Rays even if they are censored.
They do have the license for Batman because they work together with Warner Bros and also work on the Injustice games, they just didn't really model him or give him too much of a spotlight since the DLC character is the Joker and adding Batman just for a quick cameo would be a bit too much. It's good that they kept it subtle.
The reason why Kotal Kahn sun tans in his friendship is because he is supposed to be a sungod also it would be really cool if u guys could react to the 3d mk games such as Deadly Alliance, Deception, and Armageddon those r my favorites
There are a couple of the Friendships that have references. So, Jax’s is the Mortal Kombat theme on the Saxophone, Johnny’s is the old Warner Bros. frog dance, Shao Kahn has different ranks from the Test Your Might level and references different characters as well
I swear even back in the early days that Friendships had very little, if anything at all to do with the opponent. The only role the opponent ever played was having their sprite in the shot, but that was before cinematic shots like today were really plausible.
For Fatalities, you can find a video where all fatalities are performed on D'vorah. Because her blood isn't red, you'll be able to get past all of TH-cam's censorship rules. That's what a lot of people do when they watch them.
As people have said Friendships aren't really doing things for the opponent. They are just "You could have killed them with a fatality but you didn't here's something nicer" Specifically Kotal Kahn has sun powers kinda. He gets stronger in sunlight so that's why he was tanning
It’s so hilarious that i literally was watching a video where Ed Boon explained all the MK11 friendships as this video was uploaded. I recommend you guys watch that video.
I’m actually cool with the censoring, I’ve seen the fatalities so many times they don’t bother me anymore 😅 it’s other people’s reactions that have never seen them that I can’t get enough of lol
actually the reason they didn't have batman there was because that would mean there would have been a Batman model in game which would pose the question "if you made a model for him why not just add him in the game?" it's what happened with mileena and Sektor and Cyrax are in story with models and move sets but not playable
The original friendships they just had the other characters on screen because they didnt have camera cuts in the engine. The friendships from my memory barely had anything to do with your opponent aside from maybe Barakka since he just holds out the gift. Even then the opponent never took the gift. Johnny Cage would basically give the autograph to the players and not the opponent.
If you think these friendships are crazy wait until the reboot and special guests character peacemaker Music hits 🎶 Do you really wanna do you really want to taste it 🎶
@@MartinJanrt I'm just saying 🤷 you could just never know Wasn't that ash William character "leaked" in mk11? Yeah those leaks never came into fruition did they
Patiently awaiting those animated MK Legends movie reactions. Honestly, as much as I love them, I've often voiced the opinion that MK would thrive way better as a show. Since the world is so huge and there's so many characters that have their own fans, turning it into a show would allow for more of those characters to be in the spotlight. Scorpion's Revenge and ESPECIALLY Battle of the Realms suffer from pacing issues, which were mainly due to WB's uncertainty and hesitancy to invest more into the property. Now after they sold well enough, we're getting movies that aren't really part of a canon and are more like a bunch of fun What Ifs with the MK toybox. It'll certainly be interesting to see what you think of them, being as invested in the MK story as you are now. Really looking forward to it!
The Friendships & Babalitities were introduced in MK 2, as a joke to poke fun of the parents and other groups that got their panties in a twist over the gruesome fatalities.
If you watch the fatalities, watch them being done on Reptile, D’vorah, or any of the guest characters that won’t have red blood. I’ve seen the channels that make those videos say that that helps them skirt the restrictions on graphic content that way. How true that is, I don’t actually know, but it’s worth looking into.
On the Fatalities.. Some TH-camrs show fatalities being preformed against characters who don't have red blood (i.e. against D'vorah, Reptile, the Cyborgs)
Answering one of the Achara's questions about this. MK's Friendships as far as I know, can be executed without the obligation to win a match without any damage.
Friendships were made to be a cutsie thing so Netherealm wouldn't get in trouble with moms when their kids would perform fatalities on each other. Has nothing to do with the opponent(in game), shang tsung has made rainbows since they were introduced and the ninjas would tell the players playing to buy MK action figures and didn't interact with the in game opponent at all. It's pointed at the audience (You and the other person playing) not the in game opponent. They never made sense, people complained about fatalities so much the company essentially made friendships as a giant middle finger to people complaining. They were random and didn't fit the game which was always the point. Makes no more sense than babalities where you turn the opponent into a baby.
Would you guys also watch the story of other games like the 4 Batman Arkham games which are Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, Arkham Origins and Arkham Knight als also maybe the Spider-Man games, Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions and Spider-Man Edge of Time, simillar to what you did with Mortal Kombat?
13:15 It is a joke about Kotal being a sun god, and with Erron Black friendship is a play on the fact that he is a sharp-shooter. Honestly all of friendship moves makes sense if you think about.
The Friendships were described by Ed Boon as something you wouldn’t think the character would ever do, something innocent, something fun.
I’m okay with the heavily censored fatalities reaction of MK9-11. We seen the fatalities already. We just want to see your reaction
Especially since the fatalities are up on the video they're watching it on.
You wanna see a video that's mostly blurred, if not all? I mean I guess so 🤷
Just change the color of blood to blue or green and that's all they need to do
There are some video where, fatalities are performed on RoboCop or Dvorah because their blood is not Red, they should react on them
@@MaxR3acts mean you can technically pull up 2 tabs on your computer or use 2 devices but I guess that isn't convenient for everyone
I don’t think friendships were ever about exclusively doing something for the opponent. They just do something innocent in general. If I remember correctly, Sheva’s classic one was just her balancing plates while the opponent still falls over and dies. Maybe my memory is failing me tho.
You are right
true
Falls… over a cliff or… falls and passes out. And she leaves them be?
Skarlet's Friendship is a little shout out to her voice actress, Beata Pozniak, who herself is a painter.
Didn't expect y'all to be so overly fixated on them being called Friendships for the entire video, my god lmao
Ikr they were like “THATs sO rAnDom” 🙄
Ed boon explaining the friendships would have been good for y'all to get some background on them and how they have updated throughout the series
You are right.

(Abilities as in for example:

Noob: uses his shadow clones to play jump rope

ETC.)
So yeah, to the other character it may not represent an actual friendship buts more to put your actual opponent at ease and let your own character have a fun time using their abilities for fun!
Will you reaction of Ed Boon explained about MK 11 Friendships
I love watching people being disturbed by frost's friendship
Bro took “friendship” a little to literally
Guy on the left was hyper fixated on what a friendship is supposed to be 😅 just enjoy it man

I love the deep cut with Johnny Cage’s friendship, that it’s the Warner Bros frog dance.
Gotta love when that reference shows up in media.

Some where kall backs or lore specific like Kotal Kahns he draws power from the SUN to strengthen or heal himself.
Gotta check out Babalities from MK9 so funny 😆
These friendships aren't something you do or give to the opponent but something silly you both can watch after a battle
For now information on the friendships, Ed boon did a whole video on them as well where he briefly goes over all of them
I am writing this to help out jaby and achara and this video and this channel with the algorithm 🥰
I'm more than fine with censoring the fatalites because it doesnt change your honest reaction to them. Also now you both need to see Ed boon explain every MK11 friendship.
Kano: *Roasts Barbecue*
Achara: "That's so Australian!" 😂
FYI Jax mixes in a few notes from the MK theme song at the end, looked like you guys missed it
To be fair, the Friendships always have been something for the Kombatant who's performing it, not for the opponent. They are supposed to be something silly and harmless to oppose the Fatalities and to adress the backlash they were having back in the time due to their violence.
"Let your enemy alone and just have fun."
Hopefully we get FRIENDSHIPS back for MK1🤞🤞! I would love to know what Acahara’s Friendship would be.
Also yes I would love to see all the Fatalities, Brutalities and X-Rays even if they are censored.
Seeing as you guys did all the mortal kombat cut scenes, I would love if you reacted to the injustice ones now
You should watch injustice stories next! (1 & 2) It’s exactly like mortal kombat and it’s very fun! The same people made those games
gotta watch mk vs dc before those because it takes place before
@@BaulFoodmanedits but they aren’t cannon to each other
@@Lav1305. it is MK vs DC is officially MK8 it's canon to both
I love how Joker looks up like he's asking "Is he still there?"
They do have the license for Batman because they work together with Warner Bros and also work on the Injustice games, they just didn't really model him or give him too much of a spotlight since the DLC character is the Joker and adding Batman just for a quick cameo would be a bit too much.

I love you guys, y'all are hilarious and having a brother and sister vibe in these videos
yayyy!!! all brutalities reaction next?
Be sure you both check out Rain, Mileena and Rambo ending stories, fatalities, brutalities and friendships
The reason why Kotal Kahn sun tans in his friendship is because he is supposed to be a sungod also it would be really cool if u guys could react to the 3d mk games such as Deadly Alliance, Deception, and Armageddon those r my favorites
You can watch videos using characters whose blood is not red
From achara first expression of subzero with that ice cream …. I died laughing
I really can't wait for your reaction to Dc vs Mk aka MK 8, jaby! You'll love it! It led to Mk 9 and the Injustice games:)
Honestly reaction to the fatalities from 3-MKvDC would also be fun to see
dang Rambo and Rain’s weren’t in this video 😢
There are a couple of the Friendships that have references. So, Jax’s is the Mortal Kombat theme on the Saxophone, Johnny’s is the old Warner Bros. frog dance, Shao Kahn has different ranks from the Test Your Might level and references different characters as well

Fun fact all The Musical Friendships are actually sync with the animations yeah they really put love to those Friendships
Im completely fine with censored fatalities i've seen all of them im just here for your reactions😊
Jaby...you are waaay too literal. Its just a fun, non violent finisher.
They have the licensing for Batman, they made Injustice and are part of WB, its just unnecessary to have his whole model there animated
Bombastic side eye, FATALITY! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Y’all gotta do the injustice series now
I think the only other one that wouldn’t require heavy editing are MK9 Babalities.
That raiden friendship inspired by a dance group came to america's got talent and performed mortal kombat light dance
ik what the fatalies r so you guys bluring them out im cool with i love your guy’s reaction to what we have seen
How do you have issues with friendships lol never seen someone get so worked up over it. It’s just dumb things they do instead of kill their opponent
For Fatalities, you can find a video where all fatalities are performed on D'vorah. Because her blood isn't red, you'll be able to get past all of TH-cam's censorship rules. That's what a lot of people do when they watch them.
They also has a interview with Ed Boon about the developement of all the Frienship moves
I think a friendship is just a silly little thing u do after the match I don’t think it has requirements like the old games
If I recall correctly, they introduce "Friendships" in MK2 to mock all the parents complaining about the violence in the first game.
As people have said Friendships aren't really doing things for the opponent. They are just "You could have killed them with a fatality but you didn't here's something nicer"

MK 9 babalities is a MUST😂😂😂😭
where do u guys get your mics from?
If you react to mk11 victory motions some of them are mad creative. Also the intro dialogues are all very good and provide extra lore or comedy
I would love to see you guys react to Injustice: Gods Among Us and Injustice 2 stories.
Ngl just felt like a complaint video
Facts.
