@@rizkyramadhansoundwave8555 raiden needed the powers of the elder gods to defeat shao kahn, and came much closer to conquering earthrealm than shinnok did, a literal god. Funny how that works, a supposed “god of death” couldn’t even manage to kill anyone in the storyline. Meanwhile, shao kahn was just toying with raiden and throwing him around like a dog throws a chewtoy.
Raiden really is just the most patient being in existence with the amount of times he couldn’t just solve a problem with a literal snap of his fingers without “direct challenge” or “consulting the elder gods” (who are straight up the most unhelpful pricks in existence, like earthrealm is clearly being taken over against their rules and they could care less unless by some “technicality” that Raiden has to work with.) So seeing him finally just had enough with beings taking advantage of his morals and rules is pretty awesome to see
Not at all. Elder Gods never intended to make it impossible to invade another realm.. no different than America conquering a neighboring country. If you're strong enough to do it.. then you can do it. They simply wanted to ensure the realms weren't MERGED.. meaning, if you want to take over the realm, you have to do it by raw superior strength. No different than our history as a species.
Dark raiden was such a massive waste of potential. Imagine if dark raiden was p resent in the mk11 storyline instead of mk9 raiden. It could’ve been far better. Liu kang and kung lao would follow him reluctantly but then it would grow into a massive conflict between liu kang and raiden which then leads to dark raiden being purified from shinnok’s influence. Such a shame we never got that. I mean he was everywhere before the release of the game, he was in posters, trailers and in cutscenes. He was probably the mascot of mk11 and the fact that he barely got any cutscenes truely dissapoints me.
@@sageanimations2463 I was so hyped with the MKX post credit scene :( I wonder if they changed the story at the last moment, it feels weird that in MK1 we don't see the great kung lao too

Probably chopped to hundreds of pieces and scatter them across the realms? That's worst than death, especially near impossible for anyone to piece them whole again.
Am I the only one who thinks there shouldn’t have been blood when Raiden cut Shinnok’s head off? That Lightning blade looks like it should work on the same principle as a lightsaber-instantaneous cauterization.
Two totally different things, though; yes, lightning leaves smoke when it strikes things, but it doesn’t cauterize wounds.
