She could've done both. Build, because you want to create a better future. War, because you want to defend what you create. The fire in every shokan can be the light of creativity, and destroyer to those that harm it.
Sheeva: I'm going to change my people's whole lifestyle so none of them have to die! (the Shokan become lazy jerks as a result) Sheeva: I've made a huge mistake.
@Darth Bane she could but that'd just be a divinely designed circular evolution. I think most endings insinuated that for all the vaunted power the sands of time give you, you still don't really have control of your fate or destiny.
I like this ending alot. Sheeva definitely cared about her people, and thought the best course was to protect them from danger. But then she realized that, as terrible as things were for the shokan, it was these hardships that made them such great warriors
Actually it’s more like Peace just was not the way of Shokan, what could be good for everyone else proved toxic to this warrior race, as they became greedy and corrupt slobs who care more about money than each other. Sheeva has good intentions, but even a proud Shokan like her overestimated her people’s nature, hence why she decided to change them back into the proud warrior race we all know and fear.
They went from different to same, basically she made minimal changes to her peoples life style, I guess they were just not subjected to someone else, rather now she is their ruler.
So basically she did it like Johnny Cage. Both used the hourglass for their own wishes, but noticed that it backfired horribly, so they rewinded time back to the way it was supposed to be.
Kano's ending is kind of the same way. "Oy, I got the bloody Hourglass now! I'm gonna rule the whole world and make women fight each other in bikinis forever, and...you know what? This is becomin' right _boring_ after a while! I'm just gonna go back to how things were before, just maybe use the Hourglass so I _always_ get away! Doctor Moriarty won't have shit on me! That's fair dinkum, right, mates?"
Reminds me of what happened to the Mandalorians when they split with some restoring to pacifism, while others commuted war crimes their old culture would look down upon.
@@coletrain583 I mean the mandalorians had a bright future under Obi-Wan's GF if it wasn't for Darth Maul things would have went better for the mandalorians.
0:54 Sheeva: I then realised that to achieve peace and preserve the dragon fire, we needed to build greater civilsation and explore dangerous territories and conquer for good of all. I lead great expedition to a land that harbours the most nightmarish animals Earthrealm had to offer. *AUSTRALIA* . Already the natives proven themselves even more formidable than the Centaurs, but at least the dragon fire burns, fierecer than before.
As an Australian citizen of voting age, it would make watching parliament interesting seeing Sheeva punch on with anyone and anything who pissed her off.
Sheeva got a great character development in this game. She gained so much wisdom, realizing that she wanted better for the Shokan and Outworld in general (as long as her race can benefit that as well obviously), but a life of leasure doesn't belong in her race's history and blood, she would rather not change a thing and keep it that way even if it means losing comrades in battle. It's just a very wise thing to do from her perspective. She doesn't use the hourglass to Konquest, hopefully, she didn't used it to change history. She probably didn't even used it, considering that Goro isn't there (I mean he would have probably taken back the throne as King of Shokans). She really went through a whole redemption route this game and that's so much better than what we had in MK9 for her. Really makes her character more enjoyable. Even in the scenario, she never did the wrong things because she wanted it, but because she felt she "needed" to because she wanted to make Outworld better like Kitana wants.
Kind of every ending really. Maybe they don’t know what to do with this new villain and concept they’ve introduced to bring back older characters in the name of ‘timelines’ (might as well have brought back Onaga) I sometimes feel like Aftermath was also written while looking at the wall instead of the screen.
@@philiproe1661 I’d get triggered at this but in your defense Sheeva had little to no personality or enough role in the older games to make a character so skimpy outfit or not, you really can’t take her seriously anyway
@@chupirusi shut the fuck up please sheeva need's more attention darling, i think all the other characters have had enough attention it's time for sheeva to grow and for me she's a serious character trust me she is literally one of my most favorite she is my main since mk3 she is queen she is wife if i could worship her i would. besides my little sibling looks up to her also kitana too
Choose peace and see everyone becomes weak, corrupted fools... Yeah that sounds like real life alright. Look how the nations banded together in war time and now they just tear each other apart for their own benefit.
I think my favorite ending for Sheeva has to be the one where she brings the Shokan to Earthrealm and is like "Yo, we'll help defend Earthrealm, just give us a place to live" and the people of Earthrealm are like "Done! Take Australia!"
after watching this i can only think....so many of these endings is the character learning a lesson that they shouldnt change the timeline at all because the original is one they appreciate or was happiest in
Johnny Sin A lot of these endings boils down to the moral lesson that no person should ever have their actions and/or choices deleted, regardless of whether it made a positive or negative impact on the world and to do so is to invalidate history and that person's existence.
My argument: The reason Sheeva's ending went the way it did is because Shokan have no concept of "moderation;" they seem to only do things in excess. They will either fight to excess, or drink and bask in excess; there really is no in-between with them.
well im glad motaro lived on at least as a cameo in the past and not merely an item name, but is it ever explained what the centaurs were doing in MK 10 and 11? did they just go into hiding or something? multiple times were an elite army was needed either side could have greatly benefited in their recruitments. They were in Shao Kanh's extermination squads as the preferred race in mk3 for a reason
Am I the only one who says MK 11 Sheeva design is the best of all Sheeva designs? As much as I hate to cloth-shame but her outfit is the best for me, and so as with MKX comics. Her face in MKX comics is far the most beautiful ever. Back to clothing, seriously, her clothing in MK games prior to MKX are risque for my sight it's prone to nipslip.
I love how complex Sheeva is. She hates war because she's lost many of her friends and family, but it's what made the Shokan the feared and respected warriors that they are. If war is what it takes for her people to be strong, so be it.
Basically the “Good Times make Weak Men” meme. There’s got to be a balance I think between having good times while keeping men strong and ready for the potential of shitty times. It shouldn’t have to be an endless loop.
Her promo icon is "Equality." Yet, her ending is battles for the Shokan and those who follow people, not as superiors but as partner race. I like that.
I wonder why not a lot of people are talking about how Motaro (or another one of his species) is still alive. It is a possibility that he's coming back.
I don't think Sheeva is really a "good guy". She is a ruler before a warrior, so she looks at the big picture for her people, and if that lands her on the side of "good" so be it.
@@sinteleon well, in fiction that is what happens with most characters that govern a species or country. the heroic leaders often struggle and fall out of power time and again only to have to reclaim it. Crowns should not sit easily upon those who wear them.
![[ WMMT6RR ] , Team Battle , New Tennis Man in the house, Tag Battle November 9, 2024](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Rv1YkhQAV3k/mqdefault.jpg)
Sheeva's ending can easily be summed up as "misery builds character".
Yep, as well as how she realizes too that while she can help her people, she also wouldn't have the balance of what they'd learn from war as well.
"Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men creates hard times."
Sheeva: I must be a creator, not a conqueror.
Also Sheeva: F*** it. Back to conquering.
She tried first :P
At least she tried
Some things never change...no matter how hard you tried.
She could've done both.
Build, because you want to create a better future.
War, because you want to defend what you create.
The fire in every shokan can be the light of creativity, and destroyer to those that harm it.
@@aderose
She tried, she just...didn't "get" it. She went in with the old Shokan mentality, but judged the result with the old Shokan mentality still.
Sheeva: I'm going to change my people's whole lifestyle so none of them have to die!
(the Shokan become lazy jerks as a result)
Sheeva: I've made a huge mistake.
@Fool's gold is the common man's trash Funny. Why else would I insert an Arrested Development reference?
Fool's gold is the common man's trash *YES*
Sheeva: I will not financially recover from this
@Simply Perfection Too easy for some, perhaps, but certainly not for others...
@@GoldLight73 well said
I think this ending actually suits sheeva it just completely paints her lawful neutral
While essentially making her chaotic neutral?
She thrives on kombat, but respects those who hold their own.
@Darth Bane she could but that'd just be a divinely designed circular evolution. I think most endings insinuated that for all the vaunted power the sands of time give you, you still don't really have control of your fate or destiny.
I like this ending alot.
Sheeva definitely cared about her people, and thought the best course was to protect them from danger.
But then she realized that, as terrible as things were for the shokan, it was these hardships that made them such great warriors

Well, she IS named after the Goddess of Destruction Shiva.
@UCnNd2JZgcUBpND7CwHFdBjg I dont see the problem.

Then comes Kratos to destroy another Pantheon. 🔥
Already happened in armageddon
So the Shokans went from Greeks to Vikings
They went from different to same, basically she made minimal changes to her peoples life style, I guess they were just not subjected to someone else, rather now she is their ruler.
Just like Kratos.
They look more like Romans to me!😅
From Athenians to Spartans, I would have said.

@@gengarzilla1685it’s jschlatt life

Sheeva: F*CK GO BACK
A rather sad ending honestly. Can't blame Sheeva for trying. I would say balance is key, but balance is what Kronica was after in the first place.
I guess pride is what took too far. But Sheeva has her reasons.
But Sheeva, preefers build her own destiny.
Sheeva: No more wars for the Shokan
Shokatres: I know that I know nothing
Sheeva: back to war then
Kinda sucks that she is unable to make them have better lives but I guess being who they are is the better option.

In her ending in MK9, Sheeva actually DID get Australia as the new Shokan kingdom for her help in defeating Shao Kahn and saving Earthrealm.

So the Shokans became...........vikings
War. War never changes

But it changes people

KINTARO! HE'S ALIVE!!!

Hey, i dont think so, these endings are non cannon. Motaro and kintaro should be dead, but i dont know whether that timeline has been reset or not
Goro too
@@hoohag5371 I would think Liu Kang and Shang Tsung would bring them back.
It just proves that some Shokans, are better off being fighters then thinkers. Cause they can get lazy, which is not the way of a true warrior.
Yeah, guess Shokans had always been the orcs of outworld, no matter how hard you tried to change their ways.
Yeah and that actually is interesting....
Ok and? They lived peaceful lives which is much better than dying in meaningless wars for some old ideal

I understand. It's not what you want but it's what you need.
Sheeva: *NO FUN ALLOWED* *sends her people to die in a meaningless war *
Sees her people become a bunch of betas: This ain't it chief.

I hope motaro makes it in the next game favorite mk character
Shokans start acting like humans
Sheeva: FUCK! GO BACK!!!
"No more dying. We live in peace."
Also Sheeva:
"Peace sucks. For the glory of my people, we shall return to death's cold embrace!"
The Shokan love fighting so much that even when you turn them into a peaceful race from time plot bs it doesn’t work out.
That’s impressive.
On the next DLC PLAYBLE Character:
- Kintaro
- Goro
- Milena
- REPTILE
Anyone but Mileena
maybe Judge Dredd?
Goro died..
Kinda wanna see Taven or Daegon
what about Sektor and Cyrax
Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times.Hard times create strong men .
A circle without end?
Sheeva and Kintaro fighting together against Motaro
What about the other hokage
And Goro is fighting Baraka
Kintaro
Motaro
Goro were mentioned in Mk11
Tell netherealm studios we need them Now!
Motaro finallyXD
MK12 is the time to bring back Motaro as a non-playable sub-boss. Now its the time, they can do it with today's technoloy!
Motaro for MK12!
Maybe make Havik the main villain
Why bring him as non-playable? I WANT TO PLAY AS HIM!
Yes It’s about Time we get Motaro back into action! My man deserves that
Sheeva: I must be a creator, not a conqueror.
Sheeva, a few eternities later: F*ck... War it is.
Turns out that if the Shokan aren't always at war they fall to the same fate as the Roman empire.
So the Shokan are kind of like the Klingons of Outworld.
It's nice to see Motaro and Kintaro Again.
My argument:
The reason Sheeva's ending went the way it did is because Shokan have no concept of "moderation;" they seem to only do things in excess. They will either fight to excess, or drink and bask in excess; there really is no in-between with them.
0:02 the robber trying to steal my dino nuggets
Fujin: literally world peace
Sheeva: rewrites the world to be in permanent conflict
Peace was never an option
So to me it almost sounded like the shokan version of how Rome was a long time ago. Like I said it sounds like that to me
That’s my girl
I love Sheeva
i want centaur back
Same I love sheeva to
tl;dr
"I want peace.....No wait shit go back.....turns out that sucks."
Sheeva makes the timeline more peaceful
Shokan: *is more peaceful*
Sheeva: *shocked pikachu face
So "Evil" is "Good" at the end :/
more of no good no evil just fight
There's a distinct difference between "evil" and "warlike".
Peace = Corruption and Laziness
War = Profit and Discipline

Did anyone ever laughed at the quick cutaways of the roster like Sheeva here knocking Kronika to the hourglass?
I like Sheeva’s perspective
hey Kintaro my favorite mutant in whole MK history of MK mutants
straight just "we fat now,"
Sheeva's ending:
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH!!!

Her promo icon is "Equality." Yet, her ending is battles for the Shokan and those who follow people, not as superiors but as partner race. I like that.
She specifys Shokans. It shows her fighting Motaro and Baraka not siding with them. But it's like she said the Shokans were meant to be warriors.
Partner Race is Equality
I wonder why not a lot of people are talking about how Motaro (or another one of his species) is still alive. It is a possibility that he's coming back.

I guess she is more of a neutral, She wants the greater good , But it can't be achieved without blood

Wooooo kintaro
Kinda sad she wanted the Shokan to be more than just warriors but it led to disaster anyways so she had to just go back to her roots. Man...
Wait Shiva have kids man Goro must have been clapping them cheeks
That made me think of how RIDICULOUS motaro looked in the mortal kombat movie lol
Imagine for a future game he’s played by the same guy?
1:07 - Goro fighting Baraka
“I lost many sons and Daughters”
wait...exactly how old IS Sheeva in Shokon years?
Sheeva is 2034 years old according to Google.
I honestly still think this is easily sheevas best design.
I think she kinda looks puny, Shokans are large and inhuman. She looks too human in this one.
They should make a Sheeva game about war with the minotaur but not a fighter game but a game like that new star wars game by respawn.
Looks like the Shokan turned into Romans
