The Full Story of Reptile - Before You Play Mortal Kombat 11
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 січ 2019
- Of the cast of characters established as "The Ninjas" in the earliest Mortal Kombat games, before all of them were given more distinct looks from each other (and even as those appearances changed over time,) after Scorpion and Sub-Zero, the most easily identifiable and recognizable character of the group is Reptile, the "Green Ninja."
In later games, Reptile barely possesses any outward resemblance to a ninja, owing in large part to not having a human appearance, unlike the first Mortal Kombat games. So who is this character? Let's find out and get under the skin of Reptile - Mortal Kombat's acid-spewing cold-blooded killer.

I actually feel bad for Reptile. He just wants to save his people but he keeps getting used by everybody with false promises.
So far it seems like Kotal Kahn truly values Reptile as an ally

so reptile just wants to have a family...
And save his race from extinction
🤮
She wasn’t his type
@@ahmiehabibi he was gay with shao Khan at the time
@@fnfthetaleoffunk9274 in some of his fights he yells "for the reptailian race" (on mobile) now i know why.
Now that I think about it, reptile might actually be the purest character in Mortal Kombat history. he's just trying to save his race and restore his home world!
His world? I thought there were only realms not thier own separate world?
I feel bad for him
Reptile in a nutshell: pls dont kill me, I just want my family
Bruh he is one of the most screwed over guys. Like he out here for his people but gets screwed over by everyone. Raiden just needs to get him and come thru on his promise.
Stop talking like you’re a gangster. You’re not.
@@roastytoasty8815 that's just how young millennials and gen z talks now. Don't act like you guys never had your stupid slang, it's just normalized now
How is that gangsta talk you dumb fuck. You must have some real thugged out “gangsters” out your ways.
@@roastytoasty8815 thats just how some people talk they are not trying to act like gangsters some of my friends even talk like that
Kurt Bertrand yep
Reptile 🦎 deserves more respect ✊🏾

Long overdue ✅
My fav character

Klassic Reptile Was Legendary
Damn someone give this man his race back
I hope he in mk 11 when the next roster come out I think he will be in he will bring his people. Back with the hour glass
@@jamesyoung7258 somehow ill bring back my family
Reptile has always been my favorite character
Dennis Cleary mine too.
mine too
He's my 2nd Next to Kenshi
Mine to loved him since mk2
Dennis Cleary 2nd next to noob saibot
“Reptile is neutral”
Also reptile
Kung Lao: I have no quarrel with you
Reptile: I will tear your flesh
Lmao. To be fair it's his loyalty to shao Kahn/mileena so kung Lao is his enemy regardless.
I've always loved playing Reptile, one of my many favorites
I miss human disguise Reptile so much.
Zac Smothers - Agree. They should do a skin where it is an obvious human mask, like leather face on MK X
Agree
James Beardmore that would be awesome, I just don’t understand some of the choices Netherrealm has made in regard to characters designs.
Yeah, I don't like that they completely trashed it. In MK9 at that point in time he should have had his human guise but they cut it out.
Your Friend yep he should have had it in mk9 and they also turned him into a chump who got beaten by practically everybody, at least let him win one fight in the story mode NetherRealm jeez
Yeah reptile doesn’t do much in Mortal Kombat......
Oh oh wait HE IS THE VESSEL FOR THE DRAGON KING!!??!!??!!
Maybe next game tbh
He's not in mk11 sadly
@@bigwill2246 yes there's a cutscene of him in the krypt look it up
@@bigwill2246 Why in the hell would they make a game without reptile
@@ginnymae10 krypt isnt cannon
You would think after the first few evil bosses he worked for, that Reptile would learn...
"Maybe I should be a good guy, and have the God of thunder help restore my kind?" .
.
...NA!
Was thinking the same... but, you know, "losing his sense of self..?"
True, guess it would make sense as being the crazed minion that can't think for himself anymore too
I mean it's part of his character
He can't think for himself and shao kahn promessed that he would bring his race back which disstorted his mind more and more
Also reptiles been used and betrayed
Trust me the elder gods would not fair any better. Remember Scropion? Align himself with the gods in promise that his clan and family would be reborn? Nope. They was brought back as undead instead. Scropion later defected the gods and die at armageddon. The very same will probably happen to Reptile. After all his goal will only end up in him being a pawn. He doesnt want power or to rule like most villian, and yet he doesnt want to prove himself a champion or protect the realms for the better like most good guys. All he wants is the survival of his race which is something he has no power over. And the longer he goes without other of his race, he lost sanity. Sad fate. Hope he becomes a vengeful spectre hell bent on revenge for all those who used him and betrayed him. Oh wait that sounds like someone I know?
Even then good guys like the Lin quail or special forces may haven’t have been able to help him and since shao Kahn defeated the saurians in the first place reptile may have believed he would know where they are
"The Saurians" sounds a lot like 'Thesaurians' ... Lizard Librarians. Cool.
What about when reptile turned into the dragon king???
I
l
He wasent turned but rather used
Exactly
@Shendu LordOfDragons superman isn't an mk character though
So he's a tragic character, SAD LIZARD NINJA
AHEM!
*SAD* *DINO* *NINJA*
Great job, i always felt sad for reptile. He really just wants a place to call home and he works hard for it without 2nd thoughts, no matter what sacrifices it takes.
Reptile is my favorite character in mortal kombat I just wanted to learn more about him and I did
I liked when reptile stayed in human shape and mostly secret. He was a hidden character and actually was harder to beat than Scorpion and Sub-Zero as portrayed in MK 1 and MK movie where he beat the crap out of Lieu Kang in the best combat sequence of the entire movie.
Honestly reptile is so overlooked that's why he's always been one of my favorite characters in mk
Let's get something straight... They are not ninja, they are the Lin Kuei!
Scorpion... Was a ninja.
Oh, mythologies
Those damn mythology cut scenes haha
Give reptile a good character advancements. Give him a path to find more saurian (or at least add a new saurian warrior)
I really,really enjoyed this. Good job Bolt.
Reptile is such a cool character, especially at the start of the series. They never did much with his story, they definitely need to give him a bigger focus or development soon
I knew reptile wasn’t evil or good he’s jus neutral like scorpion, just tryna restore his race but keeps gettin screwed over by emperors and sorcerers 😑😑 reptile is my main character along with scorpion and subzero
Then, Lord Raiden should able to help him.
@@andresienes2090 you would think
@@rayhoyer4829 oh yes
Take a shot every time he says saurian
Mannnnm
I’m Dtunkl 🍺
dies
How could you not mention him being the vessel for the ressurection of Onaga?
Principal Skinner ikr. Literally reptiles most important role in the entire mk series was over looked
Principal Skinner he can’t do research for shit
Principal Skinner because we're not fucking virgins we have shit to do
@@c0m4g1bb it takes 2 seconds to Google you edgelord
I mean anything before mk9 has been reboted so its not a priority when it comes to tell newcomers who reptile is
I love these so far. I would absolutely love to see the story of Ermac and/or the story on Ferra Torr. Those are two favorite mortal kombat characters.
Ferra torr is pretty much crap May not come back ever
The Thumbnail Looks Good! :D
Thanks for making this 🙌🏼
4:12 "Discoverd" I love how low budget these games use to be.
Him and Scorpion were always my favorite early on... but once they started making him with a constant Lizard appearance instead of his ability to appear human as a typed of camouflage.
So now... Scorpion is my main guy... but I’ll always have a strong love for Reptile over all other characters.
Damn! Lol this has always been my younger brothers favorite character. Mine scorpion, and the middle brother subzero... I now see why, his story arc really gives you the feels
Wow! I never knew Reptiles story was so. . . sad.
I hope he gets a better storyline in MK11, finger crossed #ReptileDeservesBetter #MakeReptileCoolAndBetter #ReptiledeserveABetterStoryline
I hope he's in mortal kombat 11 and not as dlc
@@nowayok8722 same
Literally No one:
Gaming Bolt: What if we changed Mortal Kombat’s 2011 Subzero with a green color and reptilian looking eyes for the thumbnail.
Brain:FrEaKiNg GeNiOus
they should make reptile the boss for the next one and have his people rise up and get a story
Mr.Sneezy Anus reptile technically was already a boss in Deception
He's not in 11😭
@@JasonT2300 yep
Wow great breakdown
They should treat him like scorpion and not a lacky but a vengeful reptile ninja predator guy, hope he makes a comeback in 11 with full badassery
Literally my favorite MK character
I've always known Reptiles race as Zaterran not Saurian until I looked it up
So he’s never necessarily been a bad guy
He just served his people or the memory of them
he just want to save his people.He got tricked by others fake promise
9:07 that pronunciation killed me
Dude needs some love!
XD this dude is my favorite Mortal Kombat character- I remember being him a lot...
Be cool if they made a story where he can get what he wants and tries to invade the world with reptile ninjas
Human Reptile was a lot more intimidating, I hope they bring him back in 11 or at least create some excuse i.e. needing to blend in.
Don’t worry there’s a good ending to this he later on turns into the maker of Facebook :)
🤣🤣🤣
Reptile is one of my favorite characters!!
Nice vid
Reptile is my favorite Ninja, and favorite my character as a whole. I miss his human outfit. Whenever that’s a skin you can wear I put it on. If there is no human skin, or Reptile, in MK11 imma be mad.
@Bravo 4 Yeah :c
@Bravo 4 Yeah, maybe. If not, guess we will have to wait for MK12.
You forgot to mention that in the Midway continuity, Onaga the Dragon King resurected in Reptile's body.
Cool video. Could you do one about khameleon and his relationship with reptile ?
Khameleon was the female version. The male was Chameleon. Neither one of them had ever crossed paths with Reptile according to MK: Armageddon
Me before this video : heheh funky acid spit lizard man
Me after this video : this funky acid spit lizard man deserves better
They should have always kept Reptile as a human ninja, he looked the best in MK1 and MK2.
Yea its so cool
Damn, they did my favorite character dirty...
Man I feel really bad about reptile we need him to come up with some wins desperately. Make everything be alright I want to see his people and have some real friends
Would be cool as a second outfit but I like how he now has an individual persona instead of another ninja
Human reptile was my favorite. Especially in the movie
I legit feel so bad for Reptile... =( he's been played so many times
Nobody:
GamingBolt: ok so there’s two continuities; the Midway continuity and the NetherRealm continuity
Reptiles have extremely fast twitch muscles and mechanical like movements. An Alligator can be dead still without so much as s muscle twitch for hours on end.
Combine that with a humanoid physique and you would have an extremely deadly creature.
So I love your videos and all, but there's a BIG mistake on this video, because it's incredibly integral to the plot of deception, which is that Reptile became a host for Onaga the dragon king, the main villain of deception, the stuff you said took place during deception, actually took place in deadly alliance
Wait, so Reptile used to be an earth realmer just like Erron Black and Kano? Man this has become really interesting, but alot to take
I think I enjoy MK canon/story more than the actual gameplay. If they tried a tv show again I'd watch it.
I was sure you’re going to mention the fact that Reptile was present when the Dragon King’s egg hatched, and his body became the host for Onaga.
This was dope🙌
Reptile is what they call “a gatekeeper” Not a scrub but not quite good enough to make it on his own lol. I love these MK vids btw
If I hear the word "Saurians" one more time...
HEY FARVA, what that special breed of dinosaurs you love so much?
Reptile awesome
Might be in the minority on this but I like reptiles appearance as more reptilian! It makes sense lore wise everyone pretty much knows he’s a saurian at this point he doesn’t have much of a reason to hide it, and it’s not like he stands out in a universe of wraiths and cyborg ninjas and four armed bastards that are also sometimes also fire breathing tiger people. I mean I guess seeing his fatalities where he takes of the mask to reveal his human disputes is a facade is more shocking but I don’t think it’s 100% needed.
Same bro
Reptile was always my favorite character
Same
When you said about the green ninja all that dame to my mind is ninjago Lloyd
I like the video,but why not use actual reptile instead of a green Sub-Zero,just wondering
Reptile really deserves a win, he just wants his people back
Idk how you manage it but, In the scorpion video you say his clan wrong *not gonna type it* but then in the Sub-Zero one you say it correctly, but then say Lin Kuei wrong. THEN in this one you say Lin Kuei correct but then not Scorpions
😂😂😂
I get the whole “reptilian” appearance is to build on his character but honestly I just don’t find it as appealing as his original iconic green ninja look. The whole reptilian thing just makes him look like a generic lizard dude whilst the original MK (although just a reskin) had this memorable design. I would have been fine with a green ninja dude but with green reptilian eyes and some of the same abilities from the newer games. Would be cool to see something like that!
Hey since Dor'vah betrayed Kotal Khan do you think Reptile will become his new first minster. Like only other characters from Out World that are alive and loyal that we know of are Ferra Tor, a mindless brute, Erron Black, a hired mercenary, and Ermac, an unstable soul construct. The only other outworlder I can think to fill that position is Sheeva as a way for Kotal to form an alliance with her people but yet we don't know where her allegiance lays. Now Reptile is Kotal's oldest and most loyal ally, and is the Spymaster of Outworld which is pretty high on the totem pole giving he nice advantage point to take that position. Any thoughts on this because if this happens Reptile may become more important if it does.
Reptile deserves so much, so pls let there be reptile a spot in MK11
Outstanding video but you didn't touch base on reptile on the mortal kombat movies or the tv shows
i`d like to see a story where a couple of the bad guys turn sides & join lui kang & raiden & all them to overthrow shao kahn or onaga or 1 of the bad bosses we've gotten over the years
I did not know he was from earth realm
My favorite mk ninja
Question.....why did Quan Chi get so weak 25 years later? Jax said that it was because of Shinnok, but after Shinnok was sealed inside the amulet he was still fine when he tried to take on Johnny and Sonya in his lair. What happened after that last defeat to make him so fragile?
Reptile for MK11 🤩🦎
I remember that I saw somewhere that he was in the pit to finish off any survivors
I hope Reptile will be in......but im starting to doubt.
poor dude his race almost got wiped out now he’s just trynna get them back
I never knew the Saurians originated from Earthrealm. I kind of hope one day it clicks for Reptile that Earth was the original home of the Saurians and he ends up switching sides against Outworld one day
I really love reptile he is so cuute!! And reptile as a baby is the cutest thing ever!!! EEEEEE
I wanna be able to play as some villains in the new story mode like reptile and ermac
Reptile deserves more love
> Watches Video
> No Reptile apart from a cameo
He's unique and being unique is great... I'm speaking from personal experience. The writer's should make better use of this.
Bring Reptiles human/Ninja Look back!!!!!! I could already imagine a badass Fatality where he rips his skin off revealing the reptile and eats the fuck out of you.
Reptile: Man i dont know where to start... He is My favourite Character in the whole mk universe! So im mostly subjective but have no doubt when I say he the most formidable Ninjas; he gave lui kang the most ass whooping in mk 1 movie and not to forget his awesome fight with a sorceror (shang tsung) in MK conquest. He is Loyal to the bone and only wants to revive his race. Literally the only reason I love the mk universe is because of Reptile. I loved his humanoid appearance. He is the most enigmatic of them all. Sadly, hes been side-lined and turned into a barbaric lizard pleb! I mean come on he was a leader of a Race (in mk conquest atleast). The new mk movie 2021 did no justice to him either. He deserves Justice! Somewhat im happy he is laid off the game because how much more are the creators going to destroy him?
Reptile is the biggest ninja behind as third of scorpion and sub zero in my opinion and that is big and good but recently they have made one of the first ninjas as a jobber just like ermac and Baraka they deserve respect in these new games..
Raiden next !!!!
Got lost on his story halfway through the video.
i got this ending yesterday XD lol
