I do appreciate the fact that not only are all the individual character endings canon, this effectively makes it so _every_ ending even things that contradict are canon too.
noticed how Titan Erron Black, Kabal, and Jacquiline aren't there? Erron Black threw the hourglass to the sea of blood Kabal returned it to Kronika Jacquiline ceased to exist because of it
@@VannNightcore That’s not the only reason it’s also bc MK rarely brings back characters like that unless they’ll be added to the game later, Kotal, Kollector, Cetrion, Fujin, etc. also don’t appear but not bc they absolved time keeping responsibilities it’s just bc NRS didn’t feel like including them
God Liu Kang reuniting with Kitana was so wholesome and it was adorable. I wish they could spend the rest of their lives together in peace :) they deserve it
I hear you. All these years I have been wishing the two of them can finally be happy together. But that could only really happen if the franchise is ended. Everything going on always drags them apart. The only other Liu Kang and Kitana seen together as a couple and not torn apart by fate are the Revenants in MKX and MK11. But they're evil in that form.
I love how Kitana and Liu Kang both recite the quote “Why does fate seem to always conspire against us? Deny us of life’s simple pleasures? Perhaps in my many timelines, they are ours.”. Literally from Liu Kangs arcade ending.
Old Raider looks ugly as sin. I don’t think he looks very Asian. It’s crazy so many got upset that Tanya is black but no one says anything about Japanese Thunder god being white 😂😂😂
@@DatKakashii And then we got multiple Dark Raiden variants for 3 games. I don't know why they're so caught up on this concept while ignoring arguably his best look from the entire series.
@thunderstudent why doesn't no one kinda think of this Raiden as jonene leader and katana as like the cunoichi and lui and kunglow as the 2 dudes in a 3 man team in naruto 😂
Someone please help me. This story is so confusing. Which “old Raiden” is this? Is this Dark Raiden from mkx to the start of mk11, or is this the Raiden that gave Liu Kang his powers from the old game
Liu Kang and Kitana's love is tragic. An Earthrealmer and an Outworlder. Lovers from different worlds who hate each other. Yet when they finally get a chance to love each other, they are tasked with being time keepers of separate timelines. Why can't they have a happy ending?
Someone needs to re-write time to give the OG Liu and Kitana their forever happy ending. And doom upon any God or Supreme being who says they don't get it!!
It’s fated to always end in tragedy sort of like Romeo and Juliette or an in universe example would be Hanzo and Harumi, neither can have a peaceful life unless it’s separated from each other
Liu Kang and Kitana reuniting is absolutely beautiful, even more so when you realize that they both have spent eons shaping their own timeline, without even knowing that either of them still existed. they spent so much time apart, thinking that they will never find each other again. thank the elder gods that they have.
The dude who does Raiden's voice here did a good job. I thought it was the original voice actor just talking a little deeper and older sounding at first.
yes and no. you see they aren't there to fight to protect the other timelines, they are there to make sure Shang Tsung doesn't erase theirs. Quan Chi hates Shang Tsung more than he loves Liu Kang. Shao Kahn sees himself as the ONLY one worthy to rule and will do anything to overthrow Shang Tsung. its a alliance of temporary convience.
8:00 I like how everyone is trying to fix the hourglass at the same time but not even one of them take the time to blast Shang Tsung while he is occupied to stop him from destroying it.
Kitana and Liu Kang are both titans, keepers of time. Fate and destiny literally bends to their will. And yet, they still cannot achieve what they both long for most. It’s beautifully tragic to have so much power, yet be so powerless. That reunion was beautiful. As titans, they’ve lived for eons, and in one moment rekindle a long forgotten feeling they shared as mortals
SOOO FUCKIN AGREED The Music from when he put on the crown to re make the reality Also did you notice his tattoo glows back after that Before it didn't even glow but after regaining his titan power, the tattoo lit up like in MK11
Liu kang: in this timeline you will fall Shang tsung: very interesting but in this timeline you will be the one to lose Liu kang: predictable but in this timeline you will lose Shang tsung: interesting move but in this timeline, I'll be the one to win the fight Liu kang: i like your strategy but in this timeline you will die ............ (Its never end)
They should just be best friends and play chess for eternity while monologuing every possibility of what could happen depending on each piece moved... ...that's basically all this game is lol
I think it's funny that they make it a huge part of the game for Lui to get his powers back to once again be a Titan... recruit other Titans... but still struggle vs regular combatants.
You know, I'm really interested to see how they would react to Erron Black's timeline. I mean, the guy just threw his Hourglass into the Sea of Blood and never looked back. Whatever happened there is anyone's guess. Is he still a Titan? Is he long dead? It would be interesting to see.
I'm pretty sure Erron Black (in MK 11 game) didn't get any new powers, so if EB was in MK1 he'd just be a guy shooting Gods, Titans and timekeepers (Or they could just find a timeline, that Erron actually chose to use the hourglass or something, but Normal Erron fighting Gods seems way more fun)
My only complaints: 1-THEY ARE TITANS, how are they struggling to normal versions of themselves? 2-They let the evil versions live 3-They let Shang Tsung leave 4-Shang literally walks away SLOWLY
@@sparknazohmm that would be interesting also Shang Sung doesn’t attempt to fight god liu Kang before he gets his titan powers back. This games story is wack they took the easy way out and started a multiverse for no reason. The two timeline was interesting and contained and meaningful decisions could be made. But have so many timelines makes it boring and old
@@sparknazo He says ''Of course how I didnt think of that'' when he sees Liu Kang recruited Titans of other timelines, and there were more than just his and Liu Kang timelines, so yeah they were regular people
@@cinnamonpanda6040 Calling them "regular people" might be a stretch; Tsung could have empowered them to better fight Liu Kang for instance, especially since he knew his previous plan had been beaten. Besides, regular people beat Kronika, so being a Titan doesn't automatically make one a better fighter, and if anything they might be eons out of practice with no actual threat to face.
The choreography in the cutscenes is perfect. It is in line with the actual strength and abilities of the characters. Such a step up from some of the garbage fights in mk11. Characters here are actually moving quick, evading, hitting hard and using their powers.
as cool as having everything being canon in multiple timelines, i do miss the simple story lines of mortals fighting creatures, sorcerers, 4 armed monsters, gods and dragons at a tornament.
Not only that, but they could’ve killed him from the very beginning of him damaging the hour glass with evil kiatana and evil Mileena. This is why I hate this scene, so much common sense goes out the freaking window
Mk9-11 Kitana, Kung Lao and Raiden are my favorites, I missed them so much. If Old Raiden still had his voice from the 3 last games it would've been more epic, but I'm just glad he's back 😄 at least Liu kang and the others still have their voice actors. And I've been waiting so long for Kitana and Liu kang's kiss 😆 this Kitana will always remain his and it explains why he didn't interacted a lot with his new era one which is good, all Mk11 endings are even canon along the Snow blind movie
Well. Raiden is not. The one who consults with the Elder Gods is Richard Epcar, now Travis Willingham in his place. To be true, it's not the first Thunder God he voice acting
The opening movie of Armageddon tp this date is still THE best MK intro of all time imo. Just seeing the Forces of Light and Darkness going at it no holds barred.
Not only does this mean every ending is canon including ones we didnt see, it also means Kronika is still out there somewhere with the "OG" timeline. Also, I wish the titans were more easily distinguishable. In the final battle its impossible to tell whos a titan and whos a variant at times.
Kronika is a Titian and Titian’s are outside of time. They said in the story that once a Titian die there’s no coming back. So by lui kang killing her he made it a constant that she dies in every timeline. The only variation is who takes control and how they did it.
"Including ones we didn't see" is correct. Two different Match Intro dialogues between Liu Kang and Geras confirm that there is a Timeline with a _Titan Onaga._
I never could find out why he didn't return. Don't get me wrong, Travis Willingham's a great substitute, but it just makes me wonder what happened to Richard Epcar.
Recipe for failure: 1) Lui Kang sees enemy attack the hourglass 2) Keeps himself occupied by doing anything but preventing them from destroying it. 3) Reaffirms that his reality existence is in danger with heavy damage on the hourglass 4) Makes sure the immortal Geras can sit up straight so he can heal his shoulder. Come ON!
The fact that this Kitana had the new face model but from her voice alone when she first appears Her voice really sound like she's MK11 Kitana Damnn Edit:Yes i know its the same VA but the way the VA differentiate the way she speak between Normal Kitana(MK1) and Titan Kitana(MK11) really show the difference and the brilliant of her voice Really show us this is really our Kitana
Raiden: "I had hoped my victory over Kronika would end the endless cycle of kombat. Sadly, it begins anew." Like you said in Deadly Alliance, Raiden, "Mortal Kombat has always been and always will be."
@@Who-Uhm-Cares I actually think Krillin is a more apt comparison. Kung Lao was essentially the Krillin to Liu Kang's Goku who gets bodied so that Liu gets enraged and motivated to win the day.
Yes, and you know what that means, Fujin has surpassed Liu Kang, considering the fact that he made true peace in his very own ending in MK11...He did what Liu Kang could never do, even making Quan-chi and Shang Tsung good and all 😎😎😎
worng liu made then good but shang coem to has timelien to make liu timelien shanf quen eivl fijin never ahd some one fuck up ahs timelien liu time buddy told you this int he game that they wodo ben good had shang not show up to turn them evil
Also, anyone else notice that whenever a game or a movie or a TV series ends their sequel with “Time Travel” or “The Multiverse”, that means YOU KNOW the game/movie/series is gonna end with a grand finale. Like “Avengers: Endgame” for example…
I kinda wished that there would be a more profound reaction from kung kao and raiden seeing liu kang again, kinda like what they did with kitana. Still awesome, and i loved every second of this, but it wouldve been a good detail.
Kinda hope they follow up on this. Especially Kang and Kitana reuniting! They could get the whole gang together again, tour each others' timelines, make a sort of Justice League of Titans to watch their multiverse. Seems crazy to think they wouldn't enjoy the company of old friends once the crisis was averted!
The reason why people hate Alternate Universe and time travel events is due to the simple fact it's an easy copout for lazy writing and bad story plots. This is just one of many examples as to WHY they are well travelled story plots. The power of alternate universes and timelines is that it opens up the gate to tell as many stories as one desires, explore different possibilities. The biggest weakness to one's writing and plot is restriction. The more you can keep your options open, the better you can tell a story. Because if you write yourself into a corner with a solid end to a full story, you have only the dreaded Reboot and Legacy Sequel plot options; which never turn out well for community popularity.

Lol I can't stop laughing at the animation at 12:05 On the the stairs on the right and the people closest to the camera run up the steps but on those same stairs but on the left side, it's like the people there are gliding up it.
Man, I would feel so disrespected if I were some of those evil alternates. Scorpion nails me once in the gut and then decides "not worth more of my time." I think I'd just lay there the rest of the battle, maybe another Shang Tsun or someone like that might have use for my soul since I'm clearly dead weight for an actual fight.
Someone needs to re-write time to give the OG Liu and Kitana their forever happy ending. And doom upon any God or Supreme being who says they don't get it!!
@@danielhaire6677I imagine several of the characters did just that. With so many different timelines crafted by each of the MK11 characters, there has to be a bunch where Liu Kang and Kitana end up together. I just wish we could see one of those timelines.
I love how the mutliverse idea has seeped into culture. It really makes everything more badass and reconciles all the contradictory versions of stories and characters we all love. It's just like real life.
I was really hoping to see that hourglass get shattered in this one. No more reboots, this is what you get from now on. I agree with the other comments, the multiverse thing has been ran through enough to start an onlyfans.
Ed Boon: ""I want the ending to be canon" Screenwriter : "Which ending? The one in Mortal Kombat 11 or 9? The one in Armageddon? The first one? The individual of any of the characters? The one in the animated movies or the Live Action ones? Or the one in the comics? The one that appears in fanficts? The one with Rule34? " Ed Boon: "Yes"

Well. Raiden is not. The one who consults with the Elder Gods is Richard Epcar, now Travis Willingham in his place. To be true, it's not the first Thunder God he voice acting
Bro the fact that chapter 15 is called Armageddon hits different
The opening movie of Armageddon tp this date is still THE best MK intro of all time imo. Just seeing the Forces of Light and Darkness going at it no holds barred.
Kung Lao:now you both in same league
Not only does this mean every ending is canon including ones we didnt see, it also means Kronika is still out there somewhere with the "OG" timeline.
Also, I wish the titans were more easily distinguishable. In the final battle its impossible to tell whos a titan and whos a variant at times.
Kronika is the only one confirmed deader than dead.
She dies in every timeline
Kronika is a Titian and Titian’s are outside of time. They said in the story that once a Titian die there’s no coming back. So by lui kang killing her he made it a constant that she dies in every timeline. The only variation is who takes control and how they did it.
"Including ones we didn't see" is correct. Two different Match Intro dialogues between Liu Kang and Geras confirm that there is a Timeline with a _Titan Onaga._
In one of the endings I forget who but they give Kronika the hourglass back. How can that be canon if she dies in every timeline at once?
@@Koi_Swirl wouldn’t that timeline just destroy itself due to the paradox
I'm sad Raiden's voice actor from MK11 didn't return. It was an iconic voice.
I never could find out why he didn't return. Don't get me wrong, Travis Willingham's a great substitute, but it just makes me wonder what happened to Richard Epcar.
@@StealthTheFoxzMaybe he was too busy voicing Yhwach
@@R-ChillzI'm sure he didn't have to be in the studio physically to record his lines
This one does great, too
Damn I really miss Old Raiden being dubbed by Richard Epcar and saying: "I must consult with the elder gods."
I know bro he smashed raidens voice
Recipe for failure:
1) Lui Kang sees enemy attack the hourglass
2) Keeps himself occupied by doing anything but preventing them from destroying it.
3) Reaffirms that his reality existence is in danger with heavy damage on the hourglass
4) Makes sure the immortal Geras can sit up straight so he can heal his shoulder.
Come ON!
I know right!? This is Ludacris!
I like the fact that titan shang didn't think of a multiverse but the only person who did was him in this current universe
1:49 I love this nod to the 1995 movie
Doesn't that also happen in MK9
@@DoyoueverwonderwhywerehereYep
8:05 I can't be the only one who thought during this scene, "One of you just turn around and punch Shang Tsung."
When katana says my liu kang it sounds like she's about to start crying
Guys, is that normal that I got tears when I saw "mk Armageddon" Reference in the end? Good ol times
The fact that this Kitana had the new face model but from her voice alone when she first appears
Her voice really sound like she's MK11 Kitana
Damnn
Edit:Yes i know its the same VA but the way the VA differentiate the way she speak between Normal Kitana(MK1) and Titan Kitana(MK11) really show the difference and the brilliant of her voice
Really show us this is really our Kitana
Wait, so the Yautja from the 'Predator' movies is also a keeper of time? That's nuts
I miss old raiden
NOW you miss him lol
We got 30 years of Raiden. Mk11 and X are hella active online, how you miss him😂
No this BS
@@emperorjoker9240 ...Yeah. He wasn't gone before. That's a requirement for missing something.
@@OinglorBoinglor my point was how can you miss something that you didn’t like to begin with?
Honestly one of the few games were the previous one has seperate endings and yet all tie back into the new one, well done
I hope MK 1’s Raiden meets his Thunder God counterpart. ⚡️
He did on his tower ending, and questioned why he wasn't a god
He does in his ending. Then he's a little disappointed at Liu Kang for taking away his rage
Yes, the rage that overwhelmed OG Raiden and pushed him to the dark side, especially when he has possession of Shinnok's amulet.
Raiden: "I had hoped my victory over Kronika would end the endless cycle of kombat. Sadly, it begins anew."
Like you said in Deadly Alliance, Raiden, "Mortal Kombat has always been and always will be."
I just wish there was more dialogue between all of them there all from the same timeline and meant a lot to eachother they were friends
5:37
Man, even as a Titan, Kung Lao is still out here getting folded lol.
He’s the Yamcha of MK
@@Who-Uhm-Cares I actually think Krillin is a more apt comparison. Kung Lao was essentially the Krillin to Liu Kang's Goku who gets bodied so that Liu gets enraged and motivated to win the day.
To be fair it was 2 on 1 tho and even then he was still doing decent
@@realgrim6239 Sure, whatever helps you cope, man.
@@TheJayspyder im just saying lol. Literally all Raiden, geras and Kung Lao got they ass whooped but you only going for my guy Kung Lao
Dark raiden gets more screen time in the final battle than he did mk11 💀
A shame we couldn't also have gotten MK11's Titan Kuai Liang, who specifically remade time to make sure his brother wouldn't succumb to temptation.
Can we get that bi han to replace ours and turn the new one into noob saibot please
such a wholesome ending
1:12 I legit thought they were gonna fight here
Yes, and you know what that means, Fujin has surpassed Liu Kang, considering the fact that he made true peace in his very own ending in MK11...He did what Liu Kang could never do, even making Quan-chi and Shang Tsung good and all 😎😎😎
worng liu made then good but shang coem to has timelien to make liu timelien shanf quen eivl fijin never ahd some one fuck up ahs timelien liu time buddy told you this int he game that they wodo ben good had shang not show up to turn them evil
6:27 my reaction to nitara voice acting
2:05 To see the Liu Kang and Kitana (from the OG MK 11 timeline) reunited is the this wholesome moment is centuries worth a wait.❤️
I like to imagine when Liu Kang summon Kitana,Raiden and Kung Lao is them from the ending of MK11 where each of them become Elder God.
It’s weird that it isn’t Richard Epcar voicing Old Raiden
10:33 just imagine Shang Tsung can't hear what Liu Kang is saying cause they're too far away. So he yell 'What?'
"WHAT?!"
"WE HAVE BANDE-"
Sir big fan I watch all ur games and enjoy ❤❤❤
Also, anyone else notice that whenever a game or a movie or a TV series ends their sequel with “Time Travel” or “The Multiverse”, that means YOU KNOW the game/movie/series is gonna end with a grand finale. Like “Avengers: Endgame” for example…
3:54 those kitana and millena skins are firee
The double take when Kitana hears "Even Kano" lmao
I kinda wished that there would be a more profound reaction from kung kao and raiden seeing liu kang again, kinda like what they did with kitana.
Still awesome, and i loved every second of this, but it wouldve been a good detail.
1:32
time lord kano? hell yes please
Already happened, already dead. Watch Mk: Snowblind.
Kinda hope they follow up on this. Especially Kang and Kitana reuniting! They could get the whole gang together again, tour each others' timelines, make a sort of Justice League of Titans to watch their multiverse. Seems crazy to think they wouldn't enjoy the company of old friends once the crisis was averted!
“You are my Liu Kang” I heard the ocean behind those words. 😏
The fact than Rain’s ending in mk11 is canon is wholesome
Do you mean Raiden? Because Rain's ending wasn't wholesome at all.
Aww Liu kang and kitana are so adorable together 😊
I love the idea that Jonny cage could be a keeper of time
DAYUMMMMM LUIII!!! MY BOI GOT A DATE WITH THE BAKERY WHEN THE CREDITS POP UP😂😂😂
I wish the old Raiden and quan chi voice actors we've had since mk9 were in this one. Also I hate that Hanzo Hasashi doesn't exist anymore Dx
He exists, watch smoke ladder ending
@@rafaelbalbuena1048 oh. well.. i still wish the old vas were in new game lol. really felt weird not having them this time
Raiden: "Why tf did you change my race"
The reason why people hate Alternate Universe and time travel events is due to the simple fact it's an easy copout for lazy writing and bad story plots.
This is just one of many examples as to WHY they are well travelled story plots. The power of alternate universes and timelines is that it opens up the gate to tell as many stories as one desires, explore different possibilities. The biggest weakness to one's writing and plot is restriction. The more you can keep your options open, the better you can tell a story. Because if you write yourself into a corner with a solid end to a full story, you have only the dreaded Reboot and Legacy Sequel plot options; which never turn out well for community popularity.
its not lazylame any who thinsi lt azy right dont no shit abiout wirhgitng its gives you freed with righting you ownt grness you no other timelisn dc marvel db yugioh wont be good by sya it lazy you ins alt the lat gratr yugioh db maker s so dealte youre shit now and mroe poopl elike it hten hate
While I have some issues with the previous two game's story telling I wont lie I smiled at things coming full circle back to this place.
Travis Willingham does good as Raiden but I still miss Richard Epcar voicing him
Christopher Lambert was the best
Pity they couldn't get Richard Epcar to voice Old Raiden.
Lol I can't stop laughing at the animation at 12:05
On the the stairs on the right and the people closest to the camera run up the steps but on those same stairs but on the left side, it's like the people there are gliding up it.
Man, I would feel so disrespected if I were some of those evil alternates. Scorpion nails me once in the gut and then decides "not worth more of my time." I think I'd just lay there the rest of the battle, maybe another Shang Tsun or someone like that might have use for my soul since I'm clearly dead weight for an actual fight.
basically had the same thought lol
Raiden in a Hawaiian shirt 🥹🥹🥹🥹 probably the chillest Lord ever......
I was wondering when Liu kang and katana would come back, they are the best couple 🥰
Someone needs to re-write time to give the OG Liu and Kitana their forever happy ending. And doom upon any God or Supreme being who says they don't get it!!
@@danielhaire6677I imagine several of the characters did just that. With so many different timelines crafted by each of the MK11 characters, there has to be a bunch where Liu Kang and Kitana end up together. I just wish we could see one of those timelines.
Liu Kang:even Kano
Kano: Me Sausage 🌭
I love how the mutliverse idea has seeped into culture. It really makes everything more badass and reconciles all the contradictory versions of stories and characters we all love. It's just like real life.
it makes it boring, not badass.
@@ceshmate1953 OK R_____
eh its getting overused now
@@Bos_MeongI think it would have been much cooler if they kept it to just Shang Tsung and Liu Kang as the only 2 keepers of time personally
I was really hoping to see that hourglass get shattered in this one. No more reboots, this is what you get from now on. I agree with the other comments, the multiverse thing has been ran through enough to start an onlyfans.
Ed Boon: ""I want the ending to be canon"
Screenwriter : "Which ending? The one in Mortal Kombat 11 or 9? The one in Armageddon? The first one? The individual of any of the characters? The one in the animated movies or the Live Action ones? Or the one in the comics? The one that appears in fanficts? The one with Rule34? "
Ed Boon: "Yes"
KUNG LAO FINALLY MADE IT IN ANOTHER TIMELINE LET'S GO!!!
One of the only times a kiss from Kitana won't lead to death. LoL Great job with all the coverage on this channel.
0:07 love the leitmotif from mk 11
This Kung Lao is more experienced, seeing how composed he is.
At least he will still voice joker
