Old Johnny or this new Johnny, which one?
Don't forget to drop a like. LET'S HIT 2,400 LIKES! :)
MK 1 Johnny better. Hope in this timeline Johnny ends up with Kitana 😂
The new version is amazing.
Tbh, they’re the same
Hard to choose i like the Johnny in MK 10 and 11 because he grown up, but this one i like it because he get wiser on the way of the history
I love this new one a lot. Seeing him being friends with my favorite MK character is amazing
These two have more chemistry in this one game than Johnny and Sonya have had ever
Bros vs hos
@@GrubKiller436 Bros before hoes.
I love both forms of chemistry, and I'll die on that hill ! Just try and take away my haunted cold corpse from this hill.
that’s intentional though; Johnny took a liking to Sonya purely cause he thought she was attractive while she didn’t like him in general, so there wasn’t any chemistry to begin with lol
The fact that both of the VA’s for them want them together is pretty funny too
i like how Johnny is a low- key history buff or at the very least learns and does research on things he aquires. Could have easily written if off and he just wanted this baddass sword and Kenshi tells him its importance, instead its he wanted a badass sword that comes with this aweseome historical backstory with it.
well he is indiana jones
@@deathking1019 Dont you mean Montana James?
@@LordofSadFacmore like Kentucky (John) Carlton
Yeah, JC knows about Japan's History.
He has phd in quantum mech tho
I love this new Johnny. He's arrogant, but he's also earnest, introspective, has a good heart deep down. It shows why a guy as seemingly cocky and unserious as Johnny Cage is being chosen to help represent all of Earthrealm.
“He’s a hero, he just doesn’t know it yet”
Liu Kang's new era the best era
And he sympathize too and he can unselfish.
He’s also strangely knowledgeable about Japanese history
He’s a nerd for things he’s passionate about, like Goku and the one brain cell he has fully dedicated to combat theory.
I dig it, he probably picked a lot of that up from what little education he cared about and likely continued with his various senseis that helped mold him into the genuine martial genius he became at such a young age. I don’t even really think he needs some hammy Elder God blood mcguffin glow-up, just reason enough to shake off his goofiness and fight like his life and the lives of his short list of genuine loved ones are at stake.
For some reason the trio of Kenshi,Kung Lao and Johnny kinda works. They have funny interactions
The trio we didn’t know we needed! This game changes the entire history of everything and it’s so well done. Excited to see the series reimagined
Imo all 4 of them sync up well
yeah they were like superheroes almost
Both Johnny and Kung Lao are arrogant pricks no wonder they got along lol
The 3 am-egos.
I love how Johnny Cage turns not just a Comedy relief, he is a pretty relevant part of the new story. The guy was not just an mouthful actor, he is an arrogant with backup in his skills and strenght. That's kinda new and refresh for an old character. 👌🏽
I like how he instantly turns into the adult in the room once Kenshi gets hurt.
@@carlycrays2831yep, giving Kenshi the blindfold with the salve slathered on it, carrying Kenshi out and protecting him, giving him Sento afterwards, Johnny knows how to act when his friends get hurt or a dangerous/serious situation is happening. Their friendship was great tho, Johnny really showed he cared about him and Kenshi really came to respect Johnny. Both would definitely die for each other at this point.
Johnny started to get taken seriously since MKX (or MK9, but that's debatable).
hes actually one of the strongest individuals in the mk universe, in the kombat kast they explained that he hasnt awoken his green powers yet in this new timeline, but his bloodline goes back thousands of years, he descended from a Mediterranean cult that bred warriors for the gods. it usually awakens when close friends or family are hurt or about to die like you see in mkx when he saves sonya and literally beats down an elder god for her.
If there's one thing that everyone gives the writing of 10 and 11, is how well johnny gets written
They really hit a perfect balance of serious and goofy that REALLY just shows that he's more than just comic relief
Now if only the movies could do that...
liu kang choose kenshi and johnny because raiden chose those 2 and he knew they were good people.
Raiden's choice wasn't why he chose them. Liu Kang himself has knowledge of Johnny and Kenshi and knows the kind of people they were and are.
Liu kang knew what johnny was capable of, since he replaced liu kang as earthrealms champion in mkx
Dude is probably the longest living champion till cassie kicked shinnocks rackity booty then the events of mk11
TBF, Johnny and Kenshi hard carried Earthrealm in MKX when most of its champions were undead Netherrealm warlords. Plus, both are OP in their powered states. Kenshi got his unlock this game, and it seems like they're saving Johnny's green halo for next game.
Well liu kang probably heard of how they helped lock up shinnok the first time after being time-ported to the mk11 setting. Prior to that, Mk9's johnny was still kinda cocky. This one's a bit more serious.
@@Memelord1117 yeah well his wife dumped him so being serious makes sense.
Kenshi trying not to cry when Johnny gives him Sento always makes me emotional.
I can't😢😢
Can he even cry?
@@smokey12823he doesn’t have eyes so he can’t cry and that’s sad 😭
He cant cry
To be fair, if he somehow can still cry it will either come out blood or the tears will get into the wounds and hurt like hell
13:44 I love how Kenshi and Cage reminisce about one of Cage's old films and Cage's joy in finding someone who knows about his films, it really highlights how deep their friendship has become and I also love how in this timeline there are people who appreciate Johnny's films instead of being a case of "Lol your movies stink"
It's only undercut by "I can picture it exactly". Kenshi can't see the beautiful forest, only figure out how it kind of maybe looks by remembering the forest from the movie. ☹
Cage is more of an A-list actor and celebrity here where in the previous timeline he was a dork who kind of got lucky and stumbled ass backwards into greatness thanks to his martial arts ancestry.
What kills me is that... Kenshi had no idea about the iconic Aliens line. But he knew Cage's filmography.
@@weebjeezMaybe since he knew that johnny had the sword. He took time researching and maybe watched his movies to learn his fighting style?
BOOOO!@@justaguy1071 I want Kenshi to be a secret Cage Fanboy.
Johnny is the ultimate bro in every timeline.
Now Im starting to see why he is the best character in the series
It’s kinda funny that in the original timeline, he wasn’t a popular character
@@andytorres6052 he was made to be a obnoxious show off but he ended up being one of the most popular characters
He’s got moxie
This is why I always like johnny Cage as my favorite character.
As old johnny and even the new johnny.
I fell in love with Johnny from the 1995 movie. Knowing about him even more make me love him more
15:15 honestly this moment almost made me cry. They really brought justice to Johnny and Kenshi in this one.
The entire story mode was borderline perfect
This moment and where Kenshi gets his blindfold makes me cry every time. Losing your sight just hurts like that.
Holy shit the feels
Everything coming full circle really.
(A young) Johnny truly commiting to a cause other than himself and probably making his first actual friend in his adult life (in this timeline). Kenshi inadvertently honorably earned his reclaiming of Sento from his sacrifice.
…. if you told me Mortal Kombat would have this sort of writing and character development way back in the days when these games were on Sega Genesis, I’d laugh and think you were delirious🤣🤣
Kenshi and Johnny's relational dynamic is probably the best part about this game (story mode) for me. It just works, these two. They are like brothers, yin and yang, with Johnny the hyper all over the place comic relief, and Kenshi the silent, chill, brooding guy on an honorable mission. They could (should) make an entire off-shoot of these two lol
yeah they knocked it in the park when it comes to the characters in this story, they are all likeable imo. Just scrap the last part of the story and we're golden
Kinda like shaolin monks but with those two)
@@danzansandeev6033Hell YES!!!!
Dante and Vergil? (About Vergil. Seriously Kenshi is Vergil in this timeline)
Sounds like Rush Hour: MK edition. Lol
They struck a nice balance for Johnny's character
He's the comic relief again like in MK9 but there's a bit of tragedy to it this time as its there to mask the pain of being a washed up actor who's wife left him AND we actually see him mature over the course of the story rather than start off that way after a time skip
This pretty much sums it. I can’t wait to see how the continue his character arc and his relationship with the others. It just feels natural in this game and loving their interactions. I’m pleased with this reboot and can’t wait to see the direction this will go.
I wonder if Cris comes back for him since he’s more mature. If not at least remain close friends. I liked how all the characters were able to demonstrate good leadership and warrior traits beyond their chapters. The writing for this game is likely their best since Deception (when including Midway with NRS).
I also love the added bonus of him knowing quite an impressive amount of history, making his motivation to keep the sento make more sense than just "it's expensive and cool, it's mine"
I love how the characters feel like genuine friends in this game.
Like Johnny Cage intros with Smoke, Reptile, Raiden, Kung Lao and especially Kenshi make it feel like they would hang out after the story (Johnny and Reptile watching Predator, I love the idea of all of these characters having a movie night or a drink together).
I like to imagine all the characters we dont see in mk1 are just chilling in Johnny’s house
And that he took kitana to see a movie in earthrealm
Edit: autocorrect
yea since they arent just fighters that dont have feeling, they are people but unique
Johnny and Kenshi’s bromance is something I didn’t know I needed until this game.
I really liked the chemistry between Johnny , Kenshi, Raiden, and Kung Lao, it Reminded me of Gears of War. Liu Kang also fits the mentor role really well.
Ah. You making me feel nostalgic with gears of war. I hope gears 6 delivers
Kenshi is Leonardo
Kung Lao is Raphael
Raiden is Donatello
Johnny Cage is Michelangelo
@@SkellyHertzswitch kung lao and kenshi
I definitely wish Kenshi wasn't blind in this reboot. But like what he said "it's a blessing in disguise", so glad to see him having a very strong, authentic friendship/bromance with Johnny.
Kenshi wouldn’t be Kenshi without blind eyes
Constance and variables, no matter how much thinga change amd are differe t other facts remain, Scorpion & Subzero's eternal fight even when they are brother's Johnny being the GOAT, and Kubg Loa getting boddied
At least we can have the skin of him with his eyes on their place in this game
i just wish he hadnt gone blind so quickly, that he got to spend more of the story with his sight
It’s his Canon Event.
For Johnny’s announcer voice, one of his select lines for Kenshi is “BEST FRIEND!”
Love it
Johnny and Kenshi's relationship is one of the best parts of the game. I love how they went from enemies, to rivals, to lifelong best friends. This game ABSOLUTELY NAILS character relationships.
Greatest Friendship in MK history.
Friendship again
@@yoshifan3077I read it in shao kahn voice
Yep totally friendship!!!
I love that no matter how their relationship is portrayed, enemies, friends, bromance or romance, everyone agrees that their dynamic is one of the best in mk
Johnny Bravo and Samurai Jack crossover become real. Their friendship is one of the past parts of MK1.
Damn bro, i never thought about it!
They indeed look like both of these cartoon characters
That "dun, dun, duuuuuuun" was a funny callback to mk9 where Johnny said the same thing to raiden.
Ohh so that's why i sensed a hint familiarity when he said that..
Kenshi is basically Nobu and Daredevil combined
Kenshi would've gotten along with Daredevil and Stick just fine.
Wait...you're not wrong. Nobu with Matt's humor.
@@jalenellis3594Matt yes, Stick definitely no.
Ed Boon is forsure a fan of his work hahah he heard how much the fans love Kenshi, he saw the dislikes of his fate in the krypt in MK 11. Not only does he make him sooooo much more cooler in this installment, he has him become best buds with the most charismatic character in the series! Worth the $110 imo!
Isn’t the krypt non Kanon though?
But either way I agree they did him justice for the most part
@@2bdaqueen268 i guess all timelines post mk11 are all connected now in mk1
ITS 110 DOLLARS?!?
@@Cains_stuff the premium edition is
@@2bdaqueen268 what about regular?
Really enjoyed the Johnny/Kenshi and Reptile/Baraka relationships with this one. Brought some nice heart to the storyline.
9:29 I love Kung Lao’s reaction to what Johnny says.
I didn't think my opinion on Johnny in mk11 would continue to this game, but I was happily mistaken. Johnny Cage continues to be the GOAT of the Mortal Kombat universe
Yeah, in a way he’s almost the most important character. Mortal Kombat was originally just supposed to be a Jean Claude Van Damme fighting game but that somehow fell through and they came up with the character of Johnny Cage based on him. His character is based on the action/martial arts movies of the 80s like Bloodsport and Kickboxer.
Ilike this johnny more than mk11 johnny
Same Bro
I liked the older Johnny, but I really like that this Johnny is young but still has a level of depth in his character
this johnny is definitely better than mk9 and mk11 johnny, I really like mkX Johnny, personally I couldn't say which one is better
@@S3veranceyeah it's a marriage of the best aspects of both MK11 Johnnies and I think is stronger than either one was individually. Lots of these reimaginings were great but I think Johnny's takes the cake.
Makes u think Sonya’s gonna have a bigger horn for him next game if she gets introduced lol
Im really glad that they made Johnny into a leadership role character and that himself and kenshi are pretty much bros as well
This is impressive storytelling. Starting off as enemies, then comrades, and finally sworn friends.
Most of all, THIS Johnny Cage is actually Main Protagonist material. NetherRealm Studios have outdone themselves this time.
I just wish Netherrealm wrote all their character as well as Johnny.
@@ringkunmori There's not really a weak link in this MK. For the first time in a long time everyone stands out and has their own shit going on that they're really good at instead of being throwaways. Even King Jerrod gets to be a good husband and father again.
@StrivedeLaLear dude... johnny cage beat both scorpion and sub zero... experienced ninjas lose to a martial art movie star once again
Clearly a weak link there. So like that guy said thier other characters need the writing they did for cage
@@CloakEngagedI mean it’s not like Johnny’s a fraud, and I don’t think they were there intending to kill him at all
@@CloakEngagednot really
If we're going by previous interactions by Scorpion and Sub Zero, they were holding back as instructed by Liu Kang
Add the fact that Cage in this seems to be an accomplished martial artist, then yeah, believable
this johnny feels like a real person. Thats the best part of MK1, all the characters feel like real people.
Except the villains. Their cardboard cutouts
14:44 “Nope, no! We’re getting you home.” It’s like they’ve been friends for ages😢❣️
9:29 My God, he did NOT just-!😅😂
Kung Lao's expression 💀
Excuse Me?!
@@squash589Y’know, the movie!
@@redninja0078(imitates newt) Ripley!
No?
@@neurotoxinc
Seriously?
I love how even Thoe he may not take much seriously, Johnny still does his research and knows backgrounds of most of his purchases, it’s all about the history
It makes much more sense that his debut in this game is him on an Indiana Jones-like movie shooting.
We need a full story with Johnny, Kenshi, Kung Lao and Raiden. Special appearances of Baraka, Reptile and Ashrah.
A Mortal Kombat RPG or Hack/Slash/Action game would be dope
You forgot reptile
That sounds like a kickass dnd party
Remember the old Shaolin Monks Game back in 2005 when Midway Games owned the Mortal Kombat Franchise
Yes I love their bromance so much best part of the game
😭😭😭
If you pick Johnny as the voice narrator for picking characters he calls Kenshi: Best Friend
🥺🥺🥺🥺
9:27 omg I love this part😭🤣
He also calls him "sexyface" ,_,
@@Turnip-uv5fx omg yeah, I want to strive to have a friendship like theirs🥺
Ikr?! I absolutely love this version of Cage ❤
Johnny is a certified geek. And a PhD holder. Now I really have seen everything.
I found it very sweet that Johnny Gave Kenshi Sento back after saving his life.
Kenshi’s glow up was definitely one of the coolest things of this new universe
“Bet me Sento”
“Ha, not on your life”
Proceeds to literally give him Sento on his life
Johnny Cage has always been my favorite MK character, and just want to thank Netherrealm for making him so prominent these past few games. Loved his friendship with Kenshi in this, bros for life
I usually don't like wuxia but the set pieces and stages were all amazing. It's crazy to know the earth locations are based on real world locations
What? The maps which are happening in our real world? Must've been a surprise
@@elmoloco6131 lmaoo
Ngl kenshi Raiden Johnny and Kung Lao being homies is probably my favorite part of tjis game
Goddamn that scene where Mileena stabs out his eyes is so brutal. I’m surprised he didn’t die right there, but that must have been the worst feeling in the whole damn world.
the music playin when johnny gave sento to kenshi had me thinking they were gonna kiss fr
Same, and I wish.
Johnny and Kenshi's bromance is flawless!! 🙏
Ngl Kenshi in full suit , Tattoo on his arm , with katana....Looks Sick...
Modern day Samurai.
"I don't think you can handle this much boom."
*cuts to Johnny sitting on his ass.*
I love how they went from fighting over Sento to becoming partners in training over the course of story mode.
They both have more chemistry than sonya and Johnny💀
I love the Bromance between Johnny and Kenshi. So good
best bromance in mk
This is easily the most nuanced Johnny to date and I love him. He feels less like an arrogant ass that you live to hate and more like a character who's over-the-top personality is just the way that he gets when he's stressed. He can have real sentimental conversations in the lower-key moments
I've seen a theory that Johnny uses his films to reference what he's seeing so he can subtly tell Kenshi what's around them without making Kenshi feel bad. Helps as well that Kenshi has seen Wicked Planet and knew exactly what Johnny was talking about in the Living Forest. Which is rather sweet, if you ask me.
These three were honestly my favorite part of the story.
Raiden: The humble country bumpkin
Kung Lao: The ingenious food lover
Kenshi: The ice cold loyal man
Johnny: The brash, cocky goofball but approachable and endearing friend
Bruh kenshis eyes could have been saved if instead of Tanya and rain fighting them just explain it
But the true question you must ask is, "Can they trust each other, especially that two of them needed Shang Tsung for Mileena (SECRETLY for her reputation) and the squad are here to capture him for interrogation?".
@@wassupdj191But the true question you must ask yourself is…can I afford to be without it 🐍 💰
@@toastx_I knew someone was going to say that.
Tanya and Rain never trusted Earthrealmers, and while working with and trusting Shang Tsung, ofcourse all they hear is how Earthrealm is trying to defile and take over Outworld
@@toastx_ 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The scene where Kenshi gets his eyes completely destroyed and Johnny screams his name just shows how much closer theyve gotten even if it hasnt been long. Johnny may be a bit egotistical but he still cares a lot about his friends.
Uh.....I ship it.
I've never played Mortal Combat, but this was really nice to watch. I wish i could play the game so i could understand the full story. The two characters have a really nice dynamic
ITS MORTAL KOMBAT
*Kombat
Same, I'm glad people have posted the story so we can see the story play out
The four bois work so well together
"Your wife left" - Kenshi
I love that Johnny's wife had to have seen this tough ass Yakuza at her door and just kept walking. That is how done she was with Johnny
Loving the new Cage he's more mature and still remains to be a comic relief
That one seems to know when to be relax and when to be serious.
Johnny Cage and kenshi bromance is best scene in story mode
I like this version of Johnny. Instead of a snarky A-list celebrity he’s just a turbo nerd who is also a celebrity
"There's Malibu's finest"
>god walks in
Best duo and love the dynamic of these two throughout the whole game.
This is the best friends they ever did in the series hope for more
Apparently kung Lao has captain America's ears for salty language lol
The 2nd time a rich white dude with a heart of gold gives his japanese best bro his iconic red headband
I love how in the character select if you select Kenshi with Johnny’s voice he will refer to him as “Best Friend” 😁
This Johnny is amazing!!!
I agree
Easily two of my favorite characters in this game and in the whole series
I like this more friendly side to Johnny. He isn’t just a cocky showoff spewing out one-liners, he has a bit more to him. Given how him and Kenshi (for a while) are the only straight people in the group, it makes sense they form a bond. It’s honestly one of my favorite parts of the new story.
Finally Johnny found the one person in all of MK that has watched and seemingly enjoyed one of his movies
My God, I love the Bromance they have
And history would call them "best friends"
The way he points at Kenshi and goes “why him” looks so much like a child lmao
I swear Johnny gets better with every game
Whoever decided to make Johnny and Kenshi a bromance deserves a raise
This is 100% accurate how boys become friends lol
Props to Jhonny for squareing up agants a guy whit a katana in hand.
Johnny still has that ego but feels more genuine with him getting used to some people then helping them out whenever he can
Johnnt Cage just dropping references to past guest fighters
THEY BETTER KISS ON THE LIPS AND I WILL BE COMISSIONING FAN ARTISTS AND WRITERS IMMEDIATELY
Reminded me of me and my brother when we argue about nothing 😂😂😂. Johnny is definitely my brother
"I don't think you can handle this much boom"
"You're welcome"
What a fucking character
Kenshi and Johnny Cage being bros tracks from their MKX interactions and to see their growth over the story was pretty cool.
So far I’m kinda digging the direction of the story but that ending did kinda feel all over the place.
No it wasn't lol. It wasn't "all over the place" at all, it was an awesome climactic finale to this game.
@@chrange9714
The issue comes from the stakes escalating at an unnaturally fast pace.
The bromance is strong in this one.
new johnny cage oddly reminds me of a certain ODST named buck... i like this portrayal
I like the Ryu/Ken dynamic Cage and Kenshi had
I like Baraka being a good guy
I love the raiden kung lao johnny cage and kenshi gang.
Old Johnny Cage is amazing and is strong enough to beat Sindel and Shao Kahn. This new version is pretty cool and well done.
I have no clue if this is a hot or cold take, but I truly believe that M1K Johnny is his BEST, most definitive version ever. He starts out as a big star who's down on his luck right before becoming one of Earthrealm's champions, and demonstrates how he can still handle his own in fights even bore Liu Kang shows up to train him. And as the story progresses, he eventually starts to learn humility, being selfless. and to care for his new friends/companions. All of this and more even BEFORE he ever meets Sonya in this New Era! Which makes me wonder how he'll continue to be handled as this new storyline progresses (hopefully) now that he's evolved so much and reached a farther point in personal development before Sonya was even brought into the picture, which is usually the point where he would start his journey.
It warms my heart to see how much Johnny has evolved since the beginning
The graphics are absolutely insane
The entire dynamic between Johnny, Kenshi, Kung Lao, Raiden, Reptile, Baraka and Ashrah was really good. Loved seeing all of them becoming friends.
Most call them best friends
I think they should get a room
Man i not a mortal Kombat fan but this johnny cage make me feel hype up
Would love to see them more in future MK story
