Over the next couple of days we'll be doing every character's intros. Here's the playlist if you want to see more as we post them! Kung Lao and Reptile next! MORTAL KOMBAT 1 INTRO DIALOGUES: ua-cam.com/play/PL1cvljv8vQmRqQucHRMyj7pedNoXTS182.html
I love how outright kind and respected Raiden is in this game compared to other titles despite not being a demigod. He’s honestly starting to become my favourite iteration of him so far
I agree. I sort of dislike God Raiden due to the fact that he's arrogant, he's just only relying on Elder Gods way too much and people need to treat him like he's perfect.
Old raiden was never interesting, easily one of the most boring characters in the whole franchise. This Raiden is both, more interesting than Old Raiden and more interesting than champion Liu Kang. Easily best decission they made with his character.
Raiden’s New VA really knocks it out of the park Delivering the Humble yet Wise tone in his lines while also showing he can be Stern and Steady And above all else he shows so much Compassion
I know he did it to avoid Raiden's anger issues, but I like to think Liu Kang also just wanted Raiden to have a life where he wasn't the one who had to make the hard choices constantly.
The reason why Raiden is so kind and compassionate is due to Liu Kang's fear of Lord Raiden succumbing to his rage and becoming evil, which is why Lord Liu Kang subdued Raiden's anger.
The funny thing is that as nice as this Raiden is, he is hiding psychopathic tendencies. I mean he was so ready to kill Shao Kahn alongside Shang Tsung and Quan Chi and then in his ending after meeting the old Raiden, he felt like Liu Kang did him a disservice by not giving him his Godly powers. This Raiden might just end being worst than old Raiden
This Raiden guy seems like a pretty solid character. I like how he's different from 'regular' Liu Kang in the sense that he just wants to live his normal life at the farm. He doesn't really care about being the champion
He’s an extremely humble farmer with low self-esteem/confidence who has a family or a village he is attached to and is polite/respectful to even his opponents at the tournament and makes witty comebacks but in a respectful polite tone. He was also portrayed as weaker than Kung Lao initially as well. He’s a lot like Dragon Ball’s Gohan, not brought up or raised as a warrior/fighter (he did get taught by Madam Bo but it wasn’t a dedicated lifestyle like the Shaolin/warriors) and is not naturally a fighter but fights for his family and friends and for good. Liu Kang was an orphan brought up and raised by the shaolin, he was already confident at least in comparison to this mortal Raiden and was a monk/fighter naturally and was always shown as good or better than Kung Lao. He’s like Goku, fighting and being a warrior monk and all that is instilled in him. People say Liu Kang and Raiden both just simply swapped roles and it’s lazy but fail to comprehend and acknowledge the key differences between them and the current timeline/situation. Liu Kang as a protector has previous knowledge of everything else and is trying his best to prevent or temper the lust for violence and bloodshed. He’s also probably trying to pay back his mentor old Raiden in some way which is heartwarming. Mortal Raiden I explained already.
@@zanenamorph3202 In particular the amulet's power comes from the Elder Gods, like how in Injustice 2 or MKvsDCU (I believe it was) Raiden gets pissed at The Flash because he thinks he stole his powers from the Elder Gods
THIS Raiden is now my absolute favorite due to his humbleness and simple beginnings as a simple farmer. Which turns into a journey of ass kicking and godlike spirit in the span of the plot.
@tiaaaron3278 Reiko's comes from absolute loyalty and Bi Han's comes from ambition and selfishness. While it could be argued Havik has done worse things, his misdeeds come from a place of oppression
Raiden is truly the main character of mortal kombat universe, all stories are directly or indirectly revolving around him trying to selflessly protect Earthrealm and sacrificing himself.
Raiden and Johnny reciting lines from Princes of the Universe by Queen is iconic. The song is the theme of Highlander witch Christopher Lambert starred in. He also played Raiden in the 1995 MK movie.
Tanya: "One Shaolin down, one to go." Good introduction, shows us how confident Tanya is that she'll win. Raiden: "What did you hurt worse, Kung Lao's body or his ego?" And THAT response is why it's my fave Raiden dialogue: Completely undeterred, knows EXACTLY who Tanya's talking about and the EXACT line to drop to both get the laughs and induce psychic pain in poor Kung Lao from the other side of Earthrealm. XD
At first I found his humbleness and peacefulness a bit annoying, but his ending, where he goes to learn to unleash his anger, showed that is truly is a well-rounded character.
Remember that Old raiden is still a part of Liu Kang. Maybe he suggested or the inner consciousness said to make this raiden human instead of a god. Old Raiden almost got consumed by darkness. That's how learned few things can dangerous that's why things should change.
I wish Raiden had more of a besties vibe with Kitana and a WAAAAAAY more dense relationship with Shao. I still think of how great they could've been if they were like Optimus and Megatron, for example. They start as opponent, growing really fast as friends, sharing experiences and thoughts, about how DIFFERENT they lived until now and THEN Shang Tsung offer rob "us" of the better Shao, the Shao Liu Kang tried to mold into a better person
I know tarkan diseaseis painfull. But i never thought Baraka can make joke like that "28 day later". I Still hope in next story line we can see more of Baraka story
I love his redesign. Removing all the God hood bells and whistles and stripping him back to something akin to his original design is perfect. And 14:48 makes me hope a stranger things character joins in.
Raiden was my favorite character and still is. I really loved this new version of him and hoping he get more plot attention like the old Raiden. 13:39 Also: Liu Kang: Kung Lao's ego is irritating the other monks. Raiden: I will speak to him, lord Liu Kang..... After I finish you with a Fatality.
Much as I loved the OG actors, these new ones suit the new roles perfectly as young and rising champions. OG raiden did make a cameo, but Richard Epcar sadly did not reprise the role.
12:57 Raiden: Master Kai taught me Crouching Tiger style. Liu Kang: Try it against my Hidden Dragon style. Me: Oh, i know it! I mean, i understand the reference.
Raiden: you really destroyed your entire country for revenge? Kratos: a sin that I must live with every day Raiden: so what do you need more, your pride, or your hammer? Thor: I require neither to defeat you boy Shazam: how on earth can you have lighting powers and not be god himself? Raiden: how can a literal child have such power?
Goku: How about a sparring match? Raiden: Against you? Of course. Vegeta: I am the prince of all Saiyans! Raiden: And why was it that you faced defeat against Goku?
Stryker: Can you convince Madam Bo to stop padding my bill? Raiden: No way. She'll start adding onto mine too. ----- Raiden: I'm sorry to hear about your partner, is he- Stryker: He'll live, but he won't be the same. ----- Raiden: Don't you think it's shameful bringing a gun into kombat? Stryker: Against all the magic and monsters? Not really. ----- Stryker: I can use electricity too, ya know. Raiden: (chuckles) I don't think a stun gun counts, Kurtis. ----- Stryker: Tell Liu Kang to get off my back! Raiden: He's worried, Kurtis. You've been pushing too hard lately.
@@tiaaaron3278 vegeta from dragon ball, bakugo from my hero academia, most iterations of raphael from TMNT, wolverine from x-men, han solo from star wars, batman and the justice league, I could go on.
The tower endings in this game are canon since it ties into each other unlike previous games and in raidens ending he temporarily joins the shirai ryu to be trained by scorpion.

NITARA AND ASHRAH
Great! Kung Lao❤❤
1:47-1:53 the facial expressions from raiden there are top tier for multiple reasons lol 👏
It’s one of my favorite interactions
He’s so adorkable

Same. Plus his moveset is so awesome this go-around.
He is reminds me of liu kang humility and silver tougue of fujin

Delivering the Humble yet Wise tone in his lines while also showing he can be Stern and Steady
And above all else he shows so much Compassion
That's Vincent Rodriguez III for ya
While I miss god Raiden, I really love this new Raiden. I personally love them both equally for different reasons!
I bet you miss his consultants to the elder gods too lol
Same
i hope this meme never dies lol!@@rundelbellen4791
The two Raidens may be different, but their tone and the way they speak is eerily the same.
Exactly my thoughts bro.
I know he did it to avoid Raiden's anger issues, but I like to think Liu Kang also just wanted Raiden to have a life where he wasn't the one who had to make the hard choices constantly.
I like to think Mortal Raiden from mk11 requested this to liukang before he passed and was reborn as this raiden
Probably both
The reason why Raiden is so kind and compassionate is due to Liu Kang's fear of Lord Raiden succumbing to his rage and becoming evil, which is why Lord Liu Kang subdued Raiden's anger.
That decision ends up creating one of the most wholesome people in the roster. He's way too innocent, humble and adorable.
I like to think this was at mortal Raidens' request from mk11 before he passed and was reborn at this raiden
The funny thing is that as nice as this Raiden is, he is hiding psychopathic tendencies. I mean he was so ready to kill Shao Kahn alongside Shang Tsung and Quan Chi and then in his ending after meeting the old Raiden, he felt like Liu Kang did him a disservice by not giving him his Godly powers. This Raiden might just end being worst than old Raiden
Which Raiden decides to help himself control, should he ever get control over.
@@AmericaChavez17 you need to learn what psychopathic means lil guy
This Raiden guy seems like a pretty solid character. I like how he's different from 'regular' Liu Kang in the sense that he just wants to live his normal life at the farm. He doesn't really care about being the champion
He's more like Fujin, I like it.

@@Webshocker21I wouldn't say Raiden has low self-esteem/confidence, he's just a very humble farmer

I love this Raiden so much. Yeah he's overly humble but I love his style, his composure, his innocence.
1:47 Very smooth Raiden, very smooth. 😂

Somethings never change.
but kitana is still Ten 💀
@@Walkers012 Ten thousand that is 🙃
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
@@madisongeronimo6859 you okay?
Why is Raiden so humble and wholesome 😭
Same reason as Superman. He grew up as a simple farmboy, salt of the earth.
His voice is also soothing to hear
He's finally free from having to consult with the elder gods
Liu Kang literally took his rage away
@@joshgroban5291 now i cant help but think the elder gods kept making him consult them
15:14 man I love that synchronized look back with Kung Lao and Darius
@superduperblurrymario8056
Kung Lao: Yo, nice shades!
Darius: Yo, nice hat!
-silence-
Kung Lao: I have an idea for something dope.
Darius: I'm in.
@superduperblurrymario8056 yes we are!!💪🏾
Better time stamp is 15:21
They look like a good duo tbh both very confident
THIS Raiden is now my absolute favorite due to his humbleness and simple beginnings as a simple farmer.
Which turns into a journey of ass kicking and godlike spirit in the span of the plot.
15:01 Interactions like this make the day a little brighter.
Queen reference
It's amazing how Raiden is so compassionate to Havik.
fax
He is a chad
Weird how he shows this for a genocidal freak but has none of that for Reiko or Bi-Han.
He chill like that
@tiaaaron3278 Reiko's comes from absolute loyalty and Bi Han's comes from ambition and selfishness. While it could be argued Havik has done worse things, his misdeeds come from a place of oppression
I love how they make him a slight geek who's extremely curious about lots of stuff,so far I'm digging it
Liu Kang making Raiden human was a grand move. It could give God Raiden the perspective that Fujin had toward human kind.
You mean Fujina hahaha, GIVE ME THE WIND BABE

What are brothers for hahaha
Between Kung Lao and Johnny Cage, Raiden got all the rizz he needs 😂
He probably killed him afterwards 😂😂😂😂😂
It’s so funny Raiden’s reaction
raiden prolly whooped his ass after that
Raiden is truly the main character of mortal kombat universe, all stories are directly or indirectly revolving around him trying to selflessly protect Earthrealm and sacrificing himself.
they way he reacts when kitana says kung lao told her he like her lol
Raiden and Kitana have more chemistry than Kitana and Johnny.
real@@tiaaaron3278
@@tiaaaron3278They really don't. Kitana and Raiden feel the same as kitana and Liu, only inferior
@@Highostrichprobably because Kitana and Liu Kang had like 30 years and Raiden and Kitana have like 10 hours
@@adiris8827 Then what is the reason for rehashing the same shit?
God this raiden is sooo kind,humble and likable...It's almost intoxicating XD
Feels almost akin to Ryu really.
That used to be Kung laos personality with a hint of more rage.
Can't believe Raiden being mortal made him more....adorable! I mean, I wish he was my little brother figure now. 😂
I like this Raiden, SO much better than the god one. I dare say he's even more pure of heart, than he and Liu Kang's roles were reversed.
💯 agreed...I've said the same thing.
God Raiden will always be great!
Raiden and Johnny reciting lines from Princes of the Universe by Queen is iconic. The song is the theme of Highlander witch Christopher Lambert starred in. He also played Raiden in the 1995 MK movie.
It's actually Shao Khan reciting it in his mirror dialogue. The song is actually We Are The Champions
1:47 I feel you Raiden, being flirted by a girl and not knowing what to do 😂
Honestly it's kinda cool to see the Johnny vs Raiden intros. Seems like Johnny is really humble
his experiences and his friends rubbed off on him
It's so funny how Mileena says such level-headed lines with her raspy tarkat voice.
Wow Raiden is incredibly kind and likable in this one
While I am sad to have lost the 1-2-1 exchange, but I appreciate the expressiveness in the new intros
Kitana - I heard you have a crush on me?
Raiden - " Dammit Kung Lao "
Kitana - " it was Johnny "
1:51 raiden wid that lightning rizz 😮
1:46 The way he gets so shy 😅 I love this Raiden 🤩
Raiden is kinda catching my eye in this interation 👁 hes just so kind and humble, i didnt know i liked that so much
Young Raiden:
Ryu's humble
Dudley's etiquette
Ryo Sakazaki' s dedication
This new Raiden is literally the main Shoto guy of mortal Kombat
Three favorite characters fused into one
Havik: What do you earthreamlers know of revolution.
People of earth: Oh, you have no idea.
The French: *hello*
Me: Agh, the books I can show you, my chaotic friend.
Havik goes to Wikipedia and immediately searches for who "Ceausescu" is...
Poles, Hungarians, Italians, Belgians, Russians, Ukrainians, Chinese, Vietnamese, Cubans, Nicaraguans, Afghanis, Iraqi, Mongolians, Cambodians, Laotians, Germans, Iranians, Portuguese, Mexicans, Koreans, Egyptians, Tunisians, Yemenis, Ethiopians, Somalians, etc. :
ಠ_ಠ
kitana straight up confronted him about it oh shnap 1:47 and johnny noticed it too 14:55
1:47 Takeda from MK X will appreciate your attempt, Raiden.
I miss Richard Epcar's Raiden performance but Vincent Rodriguez's performance is pretty good
Richard Espar is better for older Raiden
I didn't think I was going to like this Raiden, but the whole 'humble farm boy' really does it for me.
Raiden is your typical Anime protagonist who is humble but then suddenly became OP.
The moral of the story:
Raiden can be your bestest pal or a big asshole should he choose in his introd
I really like Younger and humble Raiden~❤
He's pretty much baby (like he's learning as he goes) being respectful and still be strong
Wow these facial animations are wild, they’re really starting to capture the little details
Tanya: "One Shaolin down, one to go."
Good introduction, shows us how confident Tanya is that she'll win.
Raiden: "What did you hurt worse, Kung Lao's body or his ego?"
And THAT response is why it's my fave Raiden dialogue: Completely undeterred, knows EXACTLY who Tanya's talking about and the EXACT line to drop to both get the laughs and induce psychic pain in poor Kung Lao from the other side of Earthrealm. XD
I love his young voice
Kung Lao, why the heck you gotta expose Raiden like that to Kitana??😂
Raiden:Hey can i attend the party
Mileena:Sure 😄😄 you are welcome to
Proceed to brutally beat each other
At first I found his humbleness and peacefulness a bit annoying, but his ending, where he goes to learn to unleash his anger, showed that is truly is a well-rounded character.
Raiden’s gonna go apeshit next game, probably
Remember that Old raiden is still a part of Liu Kang. Maybe he suggested or the inner consciousness said to make this raiden human instead of a god. Old Raiden almost got consumed by darkness. That's how learned few things can dangerous that's why things should change.
So I'm not the only one who's absolutely loving the voice acting performances in this game. Am I?
7:55 Ha!

I want to give him a hug.
I want Raiden to read me bedtime stories, his voice is sooo relaxing
same
6:45 nah this is wild 💀
I love his redesign. Removing all the God hood bells and whistles and stripping him back to something akin to his original design is perfect. And 14:48 makes me hope a stranger things character joins in.
This is how raiden should have always been portrayed even as a god.
Raiden is fantastic!! And Kung Lao is with his sister😮😮😮❤❤
Kung Lao and Fujin new couple ROFL
18:42
Now imagine an alternate timeline where the Tarkat Virus serves as the main virus in 28 Days Later instead 💀

1:50 🤣you da goat Raiden
Not even the elder gods can help him with that
12:58 Crounching Tiger Hidden Dragon Reference
1:50 Tell me that's not amazing facial animation and emotion.
I really like this version of Raider really surprised me. Honestly he’s my favorite out of all of the characters.
9:47 love the reference to smoke being a revenant back in mkx
I like how friendly most of these intros are, and at the end someone will die horribly.
Raiden was my favorite character and still is. I really loved this new version of him and hoping he get more plot attention like the old Raiden.
13:39 Also:
Liu Kang: Kung Lao's ego is irritating the other monks.
Raiden: I will speak to him, lord Liu Kang..... After I finish you with a Fatality.
The new Raiden is such a bro. And a cutie.
I now want the Original Voice actor, the Ones who didnt get to reprise their Roles Like Raiden, It would be Nice to see them as like a DLC
Much as I loved the OG actors, these new ones suit the new roles perfectly as young and rising champions. OG raiden did make a cameo, but Richard Epcar sadly did not reprise the role.
They should use ai to make it. Atleast voice actor let that happen.
12:57
