    The person who played as Sub-Zero in this is John Turk. He previously played as both Shang Tsung and Kuai Liang in MK3 and would portray the masked ninjas in UMK3. I honestly think the Mythologies outfit is somehow a bit too big for him because Turk is a massive guy, on par with John Parrish, who was Jax.

    The Sub-Zero title means you get coldcocked.
    Also the fact that they have dinosaurs in the Netherrealm implies one of three things:
    1) The world works on Greek rules and that the Netherrealm is the only afterlife
    2) That there were dinosaurs that were consciously evil enough to get sent to Hell.
    3) Dinosaurs were an invasive species to Earthrealm

    As I get older I have been working to avoid parasocial relationships whether that’s with people I know or people I simply admire with that being said, I discovered your channel when I was 6 years old just browsing UA-cam and I was drawn in by the cool Johnny vs Mario thumbnails. I was hoping to see a fun animation of someone beating the shit out of Mario at the height of my anti-Mario eras I was met with some guy just talking and I immediately turned it off.
    2 years later, you popped back up in my feed and I recognized the style of thumbnail and decided to give you another shot. You became someone I could always rely on if I needed something to watch, I was only 8 years old but whenever a new Johnny vs video dropped, I would make time in my day to watch it. Since then it’s always been that way, I’m 19 now and while I find myself drifting away from being as invested in UA-cam videos and such, I still make sure I keep up with SomecallmeJohnny.
    With all that being said, I just wanna say thank you for all that you’ve done. Your output has never been a issue to me personally regardless of any gaps, so definitely focus first on what YOU want and your own well-being as I’m sure the majority of us will still be here no matter what.

    I need to start binging Johnny content more often; everytime I do, we get a new upload the next day. Seriously though, man, glad you're doing better and glad you're back 👍

    The level of joy I get whenever I see a video of yours, John, is just such a great part of my day each time. And if this makes more consistent uploads more manageable for you in the process, and easier for you to do in general? All the better, man. I’ll eat it up every single time!

    I just want to say Johnny: been a fan of your videos for ages. It was the Sonic 06 video that introduced me to you and i haven't looked back. Whether it's gushing about your favorite Final Fantasy, or torturing yourself with Bubsy and Sonic Free Riders, or experiencing peak fiction with Corey in the House, I know I'm in for a good time when I see one of your videos pop up in my subscription feed. You've become one of my favorite content creators on this site and I think you perfectly balance critique, heart, and humor.
    So I think whatever direction you choose to take is the right one. If you want to go back to doing shorter videos dedicated to one game, then go for it. If you want to do the occasional longer video when it works, then go for it. Just don't make videos at the cost of your health and well-being. I am happy to wait for what you release.

    By the way John, Sub-Zero is portrayed by John Turk who was Shang Tsung, Kuai Liang(Sub-Zero), Classic Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Reptile, Ermac, Rain, Noob Saibot, (Human)Smoke, and Chameleon in MK3/UMK3/MKT...

    The Nintendo 64 game does have one thing the other versions don't: a "god mode" code. Yes, you can get infinite lives in other versions, but (mostly) not being able to be hurt is quite something. I mean, it does nothing to help against insta-kills, like death traps, but it's still so helpful. The only exception to not taking regular damage is actually the fire stage. All those hot floor sections still hurt you, even in god mode, which was so frustrating.
    Also, I never actually beat the game (which I'd played because my little brother had an N64 at the time). For one, Fujin always got me with his dying tornado, and I'd never quite grasped the idea that you have to duck at the edge in order for things to work (just hitting the "grab" button doesn't work). But for that, I used the level select code to move past it. But there was also Shinnok. On the off chance I even could freeze him, he would unfreeze before I could get around to the other side of him. Instead, I remember there were times I'd just try attacking him, and I'd get stuck between him and his forcefield, knocked continuously back and forth. Interesting stuff.
    But overall, the version of Shinnok seen in the cutscenes (when I was finally able to see them instead of the stills) is the one I prefer. Every other version of him likes to just try to make him act menacingly all the time, and sound appropriate to that, too. But when Sub-Zero interacts with him in the prison, Shinnok sounds like a kindly grandpa, and the juxtaposition between that and his absolute evil is something Mortal Kombat doesn't normally do. It also helps remind you that he was once an Elder God, one of the big goods of the MK universe (more or less, but at the time that's what they were depicted as). Would have helped the story of Armageddon more if he still acted like that there, because Taven being oblivious to obvious evil Shinnok's obvious evil is a bit ridiculous (and I like Armageddon).

    Hey dood. I've been watching your channel for years. No matter what the video is, no matter how long it takes to make, I'm happy to watch it regardless. Don't forget, it was Iwata that said it's best to take time on something to make it great than to rush it to make a deadline. *glares at Sonic 06*
    You're doing great. You have been doing great. I know it's easier said than done to ignore what negativity your brain is telling you, but honestly, take what ever time you need. You gotta prioritize your health and well-being more than anything. You can't make videos if you're half functioning. We love you Jon. We're always gonna be here. Hope this helps to some degree.

    I've been rewatching almost all Johnny vs. videos the past month or so and man, I just jell with your laid-back approach so much. I've had a depressive episode recently and I know the type of feeling you described in the Sonic Dream Team video. Even if one would have the best job in the world, you need to step back at times.
    May the algorithm gods be damned and smited one day and I hope everything will turn out well for you.

    6:58 I personally like to believe that Lin kuei are not Ninjas because they simply see themselves as being above Ninjas. As if declaring themselves of being from greater nobility then the commoner Ninja. Which it is often true that many Ninjas were of the poor but clever common folk.

    Just wanna say that I love your stuff Johnny. Not just because of your content (though it helps!) but because of you specifically! I’m actually not an MK fan at all, but if it’s your video, I’m watching. Been a fan for years, and I’m glad you’re thinking of scaling stuff back a bit in terms of how stuffed videos are for long franchises and such!
    Keep it real, man, and take care of yourself!

    I'm sorry about your depression man, and know this... I'm praying for you. 😢 Because I can understand, and in my case... It's cause I'm living states away from family and friends, in what was once a crack house me and my mom is... Well... Fixing up the best we can... On top of trying to go to the likes of college for Drafting and Design.
    Genuinely man, I can't express how much I will always pray the best for you and your brothers, your family as a whole. God bless you Juan Ortiz... 🙏
