"I let go of my Rage and it freed me. To save yourself, you must do the same. It's past time you are freed. We both know what truly drives you. it's not Shirai Ryu pride, it's your wife and child."-Hanzo Hasashi, Scorpion; MK11
I always believe that too. Always saw scorpion as the evil one but I never knew he had a family and sub zero killed them. I remember the 90s mortal kombat movie when they both were under Shang suns power to fight any and everyone together in the tournament but I never knew the beef was that deep until now. Sub zero still go hard on the game but now its GET OVER HERE!!!! Scorpion died and came bacc from hell 😈🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Holy Crap, I knew I saw an animated CGI movie of Mortal Kombat as a kid once. Memories from my childhood will relapse at random times, and there were scenes and talking that I would remember of that movie. Thank you Variant.
@@treyvonwilliams I rate Noob over Rain, Scorpion Number 1 then Sub Zero close Second. Bi Han is seen as a evil Sub Zero in the film which is really cool, but his brother is always a better Sub Zero in my eyes
Thank God for arris. Im so happy im not the only one who love mk vs dcu. Love the podcast. Been a listener and watcher for years since I was a teen. Love the work. Love u guys
I am surprised,pissed even that Chung Li isn't in this movie being the protagonist and leader of the team like she rightfully is supposed to in Mortal Kombat
Quan Chi did have reasons for why he killed Scorpion and the Shirai Ryu. In the original timeline, Bi-Han did kill Hanzo but it was set up by Quan Chi, who then slaughtered the Shirai Ryu to manipulate Hanzo's rage and mold him into a weapon he could use to defeat Sub-Zero, be it Bi-Han or his younger brother Kuai Liang. In the new timeline, he was hired by the Lin Kuei to massacre the Shirai Ryu, even being allowed to lead their forces and impersonated Sub-Zero, but the Lin Kuei were not pleased when Quan Chi revived Hanzo as Scorpion in order to weaponize his wrath.
Scorpion is my all-time favorite MK Character. Imagine having a comic crossover event where he meets and teams up with Johnny Blaze to battle Quan Chi and Mephisto.
I love Hanzo Hasashi/Scorpion. He's one of my favorite characters of _Mortal Kombat._ And since I'm a Scorpio (my birthday is on November 5), there's a connection between me and Scorpion/Hanzo Hasashi.
Yesterday I was watching an old Redhood video where Arris mentioned Jason's outlaw mask looked like Ermac's and I was thinking its about time they dropped a 'History of' some MK character since the movie's coming out and then TADA!
And you forgot one more thing about Scorpion's powers and abilities, His hellfire can also unfreeze anyone who frozen plus he can also empower who ever he gives a portion of his power to .
I remember buying the first copy for my Genesis and it was the most awesome game at the time. Even though I am a Sub-zero fan I still show love for Scorpion...
“Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe” is such a polarizing game. However, it at least did set a standard for what a cinematic story mode should be like should a fighting game attempt one. But having to tone down the violence and gore that MK was known for due to the DC license really hurt the game. Not to mention, it wasn’t all that balanced as a fighter. At least we got the “Injustice” series of games, which does has an awesome story both in game and in comics.
Hands down my favorite character in mortal kombat, his thirst for revenge, back story, angry and strict Personality, i loved him in animated movie but disappointed they gave him 10 min in the movie, he should have been front and center with sonja, liu kang and Johnny cage
Scorpion was killed by the 2nd to last Sub-Zero, real name Bi-Han. Upon killing Bi-Han, he took a similar path after death as Scorpion in the Neatherelm, which lead to him becoming Noob Saibot. Meanwhile, the Sub-Zero we see now, who is an ally and friend of Scorpion is the younger brother of Bi-Han, Kuai Liang. There's a LOT more to the MK lore and story of the Shirai Ryu and Lin Kuei then is mentioned in this vid.
1:35. 1984 huh? Whooopsie!!! Also, the tv show you talked about was on TNT. It aired after the replay of WCW Monday Nitro. I wanna say it was at midnight. Could be wrong.
Outside of mortal Kombat vs DC universe have we ever gotten a scorpion vs Batman matchup because if not that should be a movie that brings sub zero and noob saibot together
I actually liked Annihilation…unpopular opinion I know…but i think it also has something to do with what was going on in my life at the same time the movie came out (also a killer soundtrack)…I remember trying to catch “Conquest “ on tv too…seemed to always be on early Sunday mornings! 😆
You can be a fan of something and still mispronounce things, like go listen to some Zelda fans try and say Ocarina or Epona. One guy I forget who said Oc-a-rain-ia and every time I wondered why he was adding extra letters, several people also say Ep-in-a which I'm fairly confident that if you go to Ireland find a pagan group that still worships the old Celtic Gods and have them say the name Epona I doubt they say Epina when there's clearly a O in the name. TL;DR people mispronounce names all the time it's nothing new.
@@Werewolf914 I don’t play Zelda but isn’t the whole series doesn’t have voice-acting? It would make sense if even the fans are debating over pronunciation. Like Hermione in Harry Potter books until the movie came out to settle it.
Cheers for the heads up on the spoiler podcast next week. Have to miss it as I'm over in the U.K and we have no release date for the film yet 😢. Also damn that cgi film back in the 90's was great at the time, but now wow it's aged as I have haha. Keep up the great work 👍
I love the 90s mk movies I actually just watched them yesterday and going watch the brand new one here soon ! As much as I love scorpion and sub zero , rain and reptile I love alot more
As someone who has only watched the new movie, this was very informative. 8:21 However, I think that Sub-Zero’s real name of Bi-Han is pronounced as “Bee”-Han rather than “Bye”-Han.
Noob SABOT, that part made me laugh 😂 Enjoyed the video though, but you definitely should've mentioned MK9, it's the best story mode in the MK franchise, and scorpions part shows much of who he is and how interesting it is. That game portrays Scorpion perfectly.
Something I didn't understand in the Mortal Kombat X comic. I don't think it was explained how Havik was able to corrupt the blood magik of the Kamidogu daggers. Isn't the blood magik they run on something only the Elder gods controlled? They never explained how Havik took control from them. Something like that must have taken work.
I think Scorpion is more close compared to Spawn. They are both hell spawns that use chained weapons. And they are motivated to fight because of their family tragedies.
Well, since you did Scorpion, let’s see a History of Sub Zero. Also, in my opinion, Scorpion is one of TWO videogame characters that can go toe to toe with DBZ characters as long as he can fight them in the underworld.
It burns every time....that kicked me back to the first X-Men movie when Rogue asked about Logan’s claws, and that made me think Wolverine v Scorpion. Two nigh immortal warriors through time with a scroll of grudges. Anyone?

My childhood favorite game character, gives me the goosebumps inlike the revamp anti hero
To tell that to your other self 😭👌
@@lddfdd that's exactly what Hanzo Hasashi said to his other half. And that other half is Scorpion.
"By Han"
"Noob Sabot"
Me : This hurt my soul 8:21
Also he said “Hanzo Hashi” or “Hanshi” not Hasashi
Yeah his pronunciation was super painful
@@theanimedruid id say thats a given at this point.
Makes me wonder if he even ever was a fan. He even likes MK vs. DC which I've always heard from other MK fans was absolutely horrible.
@@BigFatJuicyMonkies basically lol. If anyones ever played the games you should already know the pronunciations
Hey this was unexpected. Glad to see this. Probably the richest backstory in the MK universe. Hope for more MK videos
Probably cause it’s Ed Boon’s favorite character
@A . B Shah sorry bro i dont know much. But who is sasuke?
It was unexpected because this is bullshit
@@kevincelis8016 naruto rival
More like everyone's story is like scorpion as he came first
I busted out laughing when you said “I would listen to it religiously while fighting the air” when talking about the theme song 😂
I always thought scorpion was the bad guy growing up , my life was a lie all along 🤦♂️
I like both characters of sub zero and scorpion. They are both good characters.
Me too bud🤣
@Badass Batman well Bi Hann wasn't a hero that's one thing for certain. Kuai Liang the second Sub Zero is a hero though.
I always believe that too. Always saw scorpion as the evil one but I never knew he had a family and sub zero killed them.

I thought the same.

Scorpion made his first appearance in the Mortal Kombat video game in the 1992 mortal kombat 1 game
@Spare Slipstreamz yep.Sonya lui kang, Johnny Cage, Kano Shang Tsung and Goro and Raiden.
@Badass Batman he's not better than Sub-Zero rain or smoke
@@treyvonwilliams I rate Noob over Rain, Scorpion Number 1 then Sub Zero close Second. Bi Han is seen as a evil Sub Zero in the film which is really cool, but his brother is always a better Sub Zero in my eyes
I'm surprised you didn't mention Scorpion's appearance in Injustice 1.
I know it's not canon.
Well... yes.. Scorpion and Joker in MK11 acknowledge the Injustice world and also the original DC Vs MK crossover.
@@TheBoost103 I dead ass forgot about that

Do a history of "by-Hand, noob sabot" just like this "hanzo hashi" one. It was cool remembering my favorite ninjas from way back then.
It’s bi Han, but it’s pronounced be Han just sayin
Its Hanzo Hasashi, jus saying...

Welp he lives in U.S so yeah.

Just saw the movie, loved the direction they went with it and the new character of Cole

Since you did a history video of scorpion, you should do a history video of sub zero next

Scorpion needs his own movie:
SCORPION

MK vs DC was my favorite MK game too.
Hanzo hanshi 🤣🤣 I know it was a word slip but I laughed so bad
I wasn't expecting this but, I luv this vid!! We need vids like this!!!🔥🔥🔥 #GETOVERHERE
1:35. 1984 huh? Whooopsie!!!

Everything about Scorpion Is Beautiful thank you Man 👍🏾
My parents kept me away from these live action movies during my childhood due to their personal standards of extreme violence. I missed them all.
I hope you do history of video game charactets more often soon 👍
This movie was literally everything a Fan of the Franchise could ask for.
Agree but they they changed the lore I don’t mind too much but it probally pissed off some fans I prefer the game lore but don’t really mind
@@maxlumley3772 the arcana explanation was good I’ve always wondered why they all had powers.
Thanks for this brilliant episode! Please do an episode for Sub Zero next!

I'm a '90s man I agree with you 100%, might not been the greatest mortal Kombat movie but it's the one we had got first and I still TV surf
(Bai-Han) my dude? It's just Bi-Han :) and thus, you should do Sub-Zero next!
Man so much nostalgia 🤣you bring me back to TV guides and old video game cartoon dk reboot captain and smss
Sweet you did a history of Scorpion hope to see more history of Mortal Kombat characters 💀

Saw the movie last Saturday. It was awesome. Loved it.
Malibu comics didn’t exist till 1986 and I don’t think Mortal Combat existed in 1984. Was that comic from 94?
One of my favorite characters of all time !
Scorpion is one of the most powerful characters of all time next to Sub Zero and Noob Saibot
My all time favorite Ninja loved Scorpion since the beginning of Mortal Kombat on SNES back then 😁
I'm gonna watch it tonight I'm excited
He is also in the 1st injustice game
I found it so hard to catch up cause you talk so fast but i mean trying to fit all this in a span of 12 minutes so congrats to you
I think Scorpion is more close compared to Spawn. They are both hell spawns that use chained weapons. And they are motivated to fight because of their family tragedies.
Skip to 5:10 to get the origins of scorpion, first 5 minutes are the timelines of when the movies/shows came out for ad revenue
Undoubtedly my favorite video game character ❤️
Loving the Azbat bust in the background.
I did wanted Arris say get over here in a different tone or short clip of Scorpion saying it
I just learned something new today That scorpion has the ability to have the death stare
Finally,I thought they would never do mortal kombat theme episodes.I hope Arris keeps doing Mortal Kombat themed episodes.
I'm about to watch in half an hour cant wait
Nice. Can't wait for the origin of sub zero
