This Is one of the thing that i wanna see, rain take revenge of His father killing him and His 2 half brothers and put Delia sad and alone Is the perfect ending to rain
@Adam Benjamin But in the mad world of Mortal Kombat? Morality is counted for nothing. Not to mention Scorpion until he GOT OVER HERE and redeemed himself.
Rain is just so fixated on causing pain instead of healing. Spent his whole life in pain, thinking his mom abandoned him, but then he learned the truth. He had the power to undo that pain, yet all he could think of was inflicting it on others.
@@blackmage665 He can take one small comfort in that his mother didn't abandon him as he had believed all his life. That she died with him in her heart. I think that pushed him over the edge. When the only person who cared about you suffered because of you? That... that can hurt in a new way.
no such thing as undoing pain. once your heart breaks, it breaks. you dont just be like "oh well the people i care about i dead lets just continue with my life ahaha"
I mean getting revenge will help.then he can go on with life knowing that at least his mom loved him and the man responsible for her death is dead himself

@@Twulfbynight I think she would be upset about taven and not daegon.because daegon supposedly killed her and Argus for some prize mentioned in Armageddon
Really like Rains ending. He wants to be king and has his evil moments like revenge, but you can understand why he became this way. After his mother died from grief, he wants to put all that revenge on Argus,Taven and Daegon. They did Rain and Mileenas endings so well. I can understand what they were going for with Sindel, I just wished they did her evil and story a lot better like Rain and Mileenas story.
Taven, Daegon, and their mother had nothing to do with him and Argus issues. He dragged people that had nothing to do with it and could not have known about it into it, and made them pay.
2 things. 1. That's awesome Taven and Daegon were mentioned. 2. Whos the Voice actor for Rain? He sounds like the va for King Ezekiel from The walking dead
@@dionlackey798 it's mostly his inflection. It's very smooth, connected, and concise. Ironically I'd describe it as flowing. King Ezekial had a very similar manner of speech. The difference was mostly the emotional purpose, Rain speaks to reaffirm his ego, King Ezekiel speaks to reassure his people. Both people have voices people want to listen to, but only King Ezekiel says words people want to hear.
This is probably one of my favorite endings Rain finally got the revenge he sought for ages. He didn't want to be a prince he wanted the truth. And that's what he found.
I do admit if we get a sequel to the 2021 MK movie i could so see Yoshi sudarso or Jimmy wong for Rain and for Argus in a flashback i could see Bruce devison or Anson Mount and for His mother i could see Constance Wu or Maggie Q For the role
I suddenly have so much sympathy for Rain... This ending really did hit me hard. I'm not done thinking about it ! I feel so bad for Rain, and at the same time, I hate that he made Delia suffer for something she wasn't responsible for... She didn't deserve to have her sons taken away from her, but I can only understand Rain's desire for revenge. I also love that they gave Argus more characterisation by making him the MK equivalent of Zeus. A really good ending !
Argus is the worst kind of father, he made both taven and daegon fight to the death at Armageddon and discarded rain as if it were nothing to him. If only Taven knew about Rain's story, something could change in the original story of my presume. It would be incredible to have a mk game,as mk shaolin monks, telling the story of edenia and the three sons of Argus.
Argus didn't make Taven and Daegon fight. Blaze even confirms they weren't supposed to. After Taven defeats Daegon, Blaze says "Unfortunate. It was not intended that the brothers kombat each other. "
But he was able to create a new time line were his mother lived I still hate his father and he deserved that but rain was able to restore the story and his mom would still be alive
NRS dropped the ball with her. They backpedaled, created a bunch of new plot holes and ruined an amazing character. I can't respect a fan who agrees with that change. 🤷🏿♂️
Sindel was amazing until they destroy her in this game, she has amazing game model but her story,... Jesus no!!!.. As a fun of her for 10+ years I feel so sad about this meaningless changes...old sindel was amazingly good
The fact that in this ending rain actually kills his pretty much brothers and father is honestly showing how much potential he has to be a mk11 main antagonist
I was just saying he could be a good antagonist but I’m curious when was it stated that rain was brainwashed by Shao Kahn because I’ve seen a couple people say this
@ClasherGuard444 I mean, Rain always tries to acquire power, and i don't even need to speak about his giant ass ego. But you're right, he's not 100% villain.
One nice detail in this ending is that Delia is surrounded by smoke. Since we know that Delia is a sorceress with power over fire, Rain must have put out her fire first, before drowning Daegon and Taven.
I’m picturing a different scene where he sneaks up on her and she sets a fire spell up for defense but of him fighting her he just show her her sons and the fire gos out because of her realizing what he’s done
Rain's ending is tragically understanding. Despite he got everything he needs if he defeats Kronika, he has only one thing he wanted most, his true parentage. He proves himself not a bad guy at all but suffers by tragic background due to her mother died by shameful Argus to hid his shame and scandal after abandoning her, not caring them out of love. He wants to kill him to pay what he cause to him and his mother and killing his "brothers" Taven and Daegon but sparing her half mother, Delia to feel the same suffering that he feels, it implied he has a degree of good heart behind his arrogance and ambition nature to her because she is not like Argus who did shameful act and he is just like Scorpion. This ending makes us believe he is redeemable in the future just like Baraka and Sheva who has a standard of redemption due to his tragic past.
@@ShadowSumac A lot of people confuse having a sympathetic motive for being sympathetic. Rain is still a colossal asshole. Dude is basically Johnny if he had fewer morals. Wanting to avenge his mother's dishonorable death is fine. Even wanting to take Edenia for himself, I can accept. But everything else Rain says is nothing but pure ego. He doesn't really care about Edenia's people. He wants to rule the realm simply because he feels it's his divine right.
I think it shows he is 50 shades of f***ed up now and he's too far down the rabbit hole to change. No justification for killing his brothers and projecting his mother's pain on someone else. It's twisted.
Sparing Delia doesn't show good heart what are you talking about. He wanted her to suffer and die heartbroken instead of killing her outright. Sounds like you didn't understand the ending at all lmao
I never understood why people talked shit about raiden. Like he made bad choices in mk9 but it was his first time having visions and shit, he also didn’t understand time traveling.
I think they should have written his ending with him making peace with Taven and Dagon. This would have been better because it would show Argus just how much he screwed up. He could have had three sons to protect Edenia but let his own shame guide him. We could then see Rain and his brothers working together to fight Shao Kahn in his ending and sharing the rule of Outworld. This would be better than the revenge plot.
People sometimes trim off all their hair when they've experienced deep trauma or are rebelling against something. Maybe this is what has influenced Rain hence this dark story..which to be fair has always shadowed him. He might become a main character in a future edition. His character has always had great potential.
Good points. Both had long locks but more importantly him and Kabal both good guys but people did evil things to them which scarred them for life, and they turned bad. Troubled spirits.
@Dead Lumbago Fujin i can agree but mr i must consult the elder god heck no he wage war on anyone he see that is not from earth realms and have screw up multiple time before
Who knew that Rain, the element of water could be seen in such a hostile, violent way? Water is more often seen as more healing element that contrasts with the fierce power of fire.
The protagonist of an entire MK game (Taven) gets screen only on an ending to die in a horrible way. Just like in Raiden and Cassie's ending in MK10 when they killed Shujinko. This tells us a lot on how beloved these characters were for NRS back when they were making games for Midway.
@@cui8789 If it was not NRS, I'd believe they could Argus an interesting character, but this modern NRS we are talking about: "Sindel looks evil, therefore we retcon her to be evil".
@@cui8789 They didn't make Argus evil. They just made him a shitty parent who made awful choices, kinda like Zeus! And it's not like this is the first instance of Argus's poor decision making. His original gameplan for Armageddon was to just literally kill everyone.
Rain Finally getting some recognition here we thought his backstory was pretty cool and Armageddon and I like how it expands more in this ending. Open future release of Mortal Kombat he becomes a main character rather than DLC
@@brandonspencer5594 there were rumors or leaks that Taven, Daegon, Havik, Sareena and Quan Chi were going to be in the game alongside a third story expansion.
Its missing the rest of the male ninjas, female ninjas, cyber ninjas, the sub bosses from MK Trilogy. Inlcude all the missing characters from MK Triology and also others from other editions like Tagen and Daegon then MK Ultimate 11 will be better than MK Trilogy.
Just like how Kitana hates Mileena for being Shao Khan's remnant/daughter, Rain hates his biological father and his step brothers. Hatred by proxy 101.
About time his mother was revealed, Damn so unfair if only Taven wasn't encased in the stone maybe he would of cared and tried to figure out the best solution than Argus
kinda dumb how some of the characters I want to see the most are just side characters in endings, Taven, Daegon, Shujinko. They were hollow shells in their original installments, but considering how unique NR studios is making every character, I believe returning them now would allow them to truly shine like they were unable to do in their original games. Giving them some actual personality and unique fighting styles rather then just generic ones. For example, instead of giving Shujinko direct copies of other people's fighting styles, giving him a true mix of various styles, while no longer allowing him to actually mimic any "magical" attacks, he could be able to use other skills via weapons he forged himself, as well as fighting style moves. But using them in different ways to fit his own style rather then being pure copies.
@Giovanni Balbosa-Mc Intosh As lord of time, his position is whatever he wants it to be. He could have adjusted the timeline so that everything played out perfectly for him and his mom. Instead, he allowed his mother to suffer and then set out to avenge that suffering.
his father's side is showing. he had control of all time. he could have gone back saved his mother and gave himself as an infant back to her to be raised with love, but instead he chose to leave his sad past and be cruel pushing the same hatred and anger his father did to him and his mother.
Besides Delia, this is 1 ending I am completely fine with. Nothing too bad happens and there's a bit interesting info on Rain's birth. Also his VA is really good!
When you realized the last two timelines got Taven and Dagon mentioned, but only in this ending they never got out of their eggs, dying still waiting for release.
@@rodneyholmes5260 Numerically, yes. I found it weird, as there's no reason to consider that game to be (numerically) canon. But MK9 has that 9 in, so...it kinda is.
Damn. Not that it justified taking over several worlds (it doesn't) but the fact he is getting revenge for being left alone in a world with no one who cares about him humanizes Rain. He's still a bad guy but he has a reason outside of "because I can".
This seems fitting for this "villain" Rain and I hope he did it for pleasure because if it was 'Justice" in his mind he will realize he was no better then his Father not for killing him but for going to people who had nothing do.
Since Rain’s characterization has always been that of a narcissistic asshole, I think it’d have been more appropriate for him to rewrite history so that everyone loves him. They already did that with Frost though so I get why they didn’t. I think this still keeps in line with that characterization though. I like to interpret it as Rain not genuinely caring about his mother, but being mad that he could’ve grown up with all the power and status he felt he was owed, but because of Argus’ lies he had a peasant upbringing. This is supported by the fact that he doesn’t actually bother to bring his mother back even though he absolutely could have.

Maybe this is what has influenced Rain hence this dark story..which to be fair has always shadowed him. He might become a main character in a future edition. His character has always had great potential.
@@DEEDUBZ I was thinking he might have done it so he isn't as recognizable. Either way him and Kabal suffer the same fate.
Good points. Both had long locks but more importantly him and Kabal both good guys but people did evil things to them which scarred them for life, and they turned bad. Troubled spirits.
I wish the writers would actually do something worthwhile with Taven again instead of just non-canon cameos...
That side of the story is so interesting but so unused
I hope that mk12 wich should loosely adapt things from deception expands the lore of edenia, order and chaos realms
They made Rain a formidable villain and I love it.
Wow, Argus is so like God of War's Zeus, a bad God and an awful Father. Now I feel so bad for Rain.
More like Zeus in general since Greek myth has him "sleeping" with anyone and thing he wanted. Lol
Gods are just screw ups.
Let's be honest, if Argus have never abandoned him then things would be very different in the Mortal Kombat story
İn original timeline rain always knew he was son of argus, argus tell him and his mother possibily live
@Dead Lumbago Fujin i can agree but mr i must consult the elder god heck no he wage war on anyone he see that is not from earth realms and have screw up multiple time before
Who knew that Rain, the element of water could be seen in such a hostile, violent way? Water is more often seen as more healing element that contrasts with the fierce power of fire.
Unless you live in chaosrealm where water is seen as the embodiment of chaos yeah having water powers and being a dangerous guy is a surprising mix
The ending is dark but justified.
This is a dark and well executed ending!
like father, like son, both made a mother cry over their children.
Rain doesn't even sound like a villain. He sounds like a pretty chill and cool guy.
@ClasherTheVaderFan2005 not good guy but just natural
@ClasherTheVaderFan2005 yes
If there's something both good guys and bad guys have in common, it's "You don't mess with mama".
Indeed, so many examples of angry mama’s boy out there. Like look what happened when Mrs Voorhees was killed. An unstoppable serial killer was born.
Not to Erron Black, he openingly admitted to killing her and Shang Tsung... well he is Shang Tsung.
The protagonist of an entire MK game (Taven) gets screen only on an ending to die in a horrible way. Just like in Raiden and Cassie's ending in MK10 when they killed Shujinko. This tells us a lot on how beloved these characters were for NRS back when they were making games for Midway.
I don't know how to feel about this ending, it feels right for Rain's character, but it just doesn't feel right for everything else.
I think it is a good twist for Rain's character but revenge it's a little overused in MK
@@rubencorona3061 like Scorpion for example
For me, it's how they had to make Argus evil to justify Rain hating him.
@@cui8789 If it was not NRS, I'd believe they could Argus an interesting character, but this modern NRS we are talking about: "Sindel looks evil, therefore we retcon her to be evil".
@@cui8789 They didn't make Argus evil. They just made him a shitty parent who made awful choices, kinda like Zeus! And it's not like this is the first instance of Argus's poor decision making. His original gameplan for Armageddon was to just literally kill everyone.
nrs should make a mk mythology: rain.. he has one of the best back stories
A rpg mortal kombat game where Rain goes all Kratos and murders Argus?? Where do I sign?
Never in my wildest imagination have I ever thought I would pity Rain until now.
For the last 20 years I've been wondering why Rain was so mad and arrogant, I kind of really understand now lol. What an ending, wow.
god damn rain is mad
"Even bad men love their mamas." -TV Tropes
Rain sure knows how to get revenge, Respect.
Respect to Rain
Rain Finally getting some recognition here we thought his backstory was pretty cool and Armageddon and I like how it expands more in this ending. Open future release of Mortal Kombat he becomes a main character rather than DLC
Mk11 third expansion coming
For sure, the character select screen is missing at least 5 characters
??? What expansion
@@brandonspencer5594 there were rumors or leaks that Taven, Daegon, Havik, Sareena and Quan Chi were going to be in the game alongside a third story expansion.
@@rubencorona3061 doubt it.aftermath was supposed to be the conclusion to the story
Its missing the rest of the male ninjas, female ninjas, cyber ninjas, the sub bosses from MK Trilogy. Inlcude all the missing characters from MK Triology and also others from other editions like Tagen and Daegon then MK Ultimate 11 will be better than MK Trilogy.
I was rooting for Rain until he killed Daegon and Taven. They had no idea who Rain was or what their father had done.
Just like how Kitana hates Mileena for being Shao Khan's remnant/daughter, Rain hates his biological father and his step brothers.
Hatred by proxy 101.
@@Gazing-09 half brothers
Daegon can suck it
Too be fair, Daegon was kind of a dick in Armageddon.
Daegon needed to die anyway.
I love this ending, Rain is awesome character
So much family trauma in this Kombat pack! Very bad ass surprising ended for rain and Mileena! Keep up the great work NRS
His voice sounded different than I thought, sounds like a cross between shang and kung lao
Like I needed any more reason to love Rain 🙌🏻 The man is awesome
Rain's ending was the best and most insightful of the three.
About time his mother was revealed, Damn so unfair if only Taven wasn't encased in the stone maybe he would of cared and tried to figure out the best solution than Argus
kinda dumb how some of the characters I want to see the most are just side characters in endings, Taven, Daegon, Shujinko.
They were hollow shells in their original installments, but considering how unique NR studios is making every character, I believe returning them now would allow them to truly shine like they were unable to do in their original games.
Giving them some actual personality and unique fighting styles rather then just generic ones.
For example, instead of giving Shujinko direct copies of other people's fighting styles, giving him a true mix of various styles, while no longer allowing him to actually mimic any "magical" attacks, he could be able to use other skills via weapons he forged himself, as well as fighting style moves.
But using them in different ways to fit his own style rather then being pure copies.
Rain:ARGUS YOUR SON HAS RETURNED AND I BRING THE DESTRUCTION OF THE ELDER GODS.
now we need Taven, Daegon, and Shujinko kombat pack 🔥🔥
Rain is just like jason
Both love their Mother so much that they would even kill for them
I really wish Taven and Daegon would return in the story some day. Same for Onaga. We need more 3D era characters!!
So in other words Rain is more like Scorpion when he used to be vengeful.
Or kratos
Killing gods in vengeance for my mom? I get that.
I agree
Dude, you can control time now. Forget the vengeance and just undo the thing you want vengeance for.
@Giovanni Balbosa-Mc Intosh As lord of time, his position is whatever he wants it to be. He could have adjusted the timeline so that everything played out perfectly for him and his mom. Instead, he allowed his mother to suffer and then set out to avenge that suffering.
The name "Amara" gave me Supernatural flashbacks.
his father's side is showing.
he had control of all time. he could have gone back saved his mother and gave himself as an infant back to her to be raised with love, but instead he chose to leave his sad past and be cruel pushing the same hatred and anger his father did to him and his mother.
Besides Delia, this is 1 ending I am completely fine with. Nothing too bad happens and there's a bit interesting info on Rain's birth. Also his VA is really good!
Rain's voice is logical.
When you realized the last two timelines got Taven and Dagon mentioned, but only in this ending they never got out of their eggs, dying still waiting for release.
Daegon went out of his egg, how else would the Red Dragon come.
Man they always talking about taven and daegon but they never playable );
Never really knew much about rain until this point they did really well with this ending
Rain's ending is......it's dark AF and I love it.
Bruh from what I remember Taeven And Daegon were the main characters from the one MK Game. It was cool that they got referenced here.
Armageddon, the no7 of franchise. The one right before the crossover with DC, and the cosmic retcon of MK9.
@@ShionKenobi So, is the DC crossover considered MK 8( I'm aware it isn't well received by most, bit canonically speaking), or is something missing?
@@rodneyholmes5260 Numerically, yes.
I found it weird, as there's no reason to consider that game to be (numerically) canon.
But MK9 has that 9 in, so...it kinda is.
I like this ending. Who knew Prince was such a badass
00:25 - that reminds me Rhaegar Targaryen & Lyanna Stark from Game of Thrones)))
Damn. Not that it justified taking over several worlds (it doesn't) but the fact he is getting revenge for being left alone in a world with no one who cares about him humanizes Rain. He's still a bad guy but he has a reason outside of "because I can".
This seems fitting for this "villain" Rain and I hope he did it for pleasure because if it was 'Justice" in his mind he will realize he was no better then his Father not for killing him but for going to people who had nothing do.
Ok now they have to make Deagon and Taven dlc. They can even be behind the scenes of the story fighting each other in another dlc story.
Rain has a funny way of drowning his sorrows, that being literally drowning them.
Rain always seems like a neutral character. I wish he and Kitana were portrayed as ex lovers like in media.
With how much they name drop them you'll think argus's sons will become playable
Well
Rambo(tipic good guy and hero ending)
Melena (cute ending)
Rain(tipic bad guy)
Damn! This was HARDCORE! MK soap opera drama!
As The Realms Turn!
Since Rain’s characterization has always been that of a narcissistic asshole, I think it’d have been more appropriate for him to rewrite history so that everyone loves him. They already did that with Frost though so I get why they didn’t.
I think this still keeps in line with that characterization though. I like to interpret it as Rain not genuinely caring about his mother, but being mad that he could’ve grown up with all the power and status he felt he was owed, but because of Argus’ lies he had a peasant upbringing. This is supported by the fact that he doesn’t actually bother to bring his mother back even though he absolutely could have.
Mannn that’s crazy!! Rain not fucking around, LONG LIVE THE RAIN!!! 🌧 💯💯💯💯💯
Wow, they finally revealed who is rain's mother. I always wondered who she was since Armageddon.
Rain’s rich upper class army general step father
that he grew up with and loved: *Am I a joke to you?*
