let's hurry before whomever was guarding it comes back noob: I never left. I was just sitting in the darkness with my shadow listening to shinedown and black sabbath because their names sounded as dark as my soul.... darkness
Legacy of Kain has a very interesting take on time travel, where history can only be altered in certain circumstances like a paradox. Otherwise any change you try to make won't happen. As the titular character put it. "Toss a stone into a rushing river, the current simply courses around it and flows on as though the obstruction were never there."
I thought it was more like... you CAN alter history, but only really slightly UNLESS you have a paradox, which borks the whole thing. Usually courtesy of the Soul Reaver. Thought it was implied that Moebius and TEG had been subtly manipulating history to favour them, but needed the big changes to be done by Raziel and Kain.
My favorite moment of that franchise was in 2 when it comes full circle and Raziel realizes that it was his vampire self that absorbs his own soul into the soul reaver cursing him to his fate as a vampire in an endless time loop. Kain mentions that you can flip a coin and it will always land on either heads or tails, and he REFUSED to accept "tails" so to speak (him allowing himself to perish to save the future) but then he realizes that perhaps after a million coin flips, what if the coin lands on it's edge?!
Currently I've enjoyed simply listening to the story of all Legacy of Kain games here on UA-cam. Had to listen to every single game's storyline 2 or even 3 times to finally understand what the heck is going on in that game, but man once you get it, it's a phenomenal story.
Actually Scorpion and Sindel are Spectres, beings brought back in created bodies but not corrupted, and Noob and Ermac are Wraiths, corrupted souls in host bodies. Revenants are corrupted souls in created bodies.
@@Ch35h1r3C47 no problem I went through several different websites just to find this out and had to filter so much information but I think it was worth it.
So seeing as any damage done to your past self is inflicted on you, Older Cage must be pretty confused why he has bullet wounds and broken bones out of nowhere.
The injuries would be healed in older Johnny. Like the gunshot wound in his face becoming a faded scar. The gunshot wound in his arm would probably permanently mess up his right arm though, so he would probably notice it.
@@ninboy01 I know, but seeing as Kano physically felt everything Sonya inflicted on his past self, Johnny was probably not having a great time when his past self was fighting Sonya.
It's a bit hard to tell, but it looks like Liu Kang's Warrior Shrine statue at 8:21 actually used his MK1 design. Surprising, considering they usually like to pretend he always looked like MK2 design, as shown in other games like his supposed "MK1 Costume" in X.
I'm glad they improved on Jackie because honestly in mk10 story-wise her character with a bit flat. This time she's really lively and bit fun to play especially in this chapter.
He actually did part of the story on very hard mode on stream. However the game was so completely cheap with reading input AI that as he described "he gets lucky" when he wins a single battle and it wasn't satisfying. The chance for a bossrage is low.
There was one tower I manage to complete that felt like a Dark Souls boss battle. Your opponent was Jade, she barely took any damage, her A.I was ridiculous and on top of that, three stage effects that hinders you. That could've been a boss rage in itself, but regardless of how this tower was, I had a blast doing it.
@@FiendMatadorSlayerOfNoobs I actually beat that one, however the one hit potential really caught me off guard. With fights like that, kosumables really come in handy.
I still wish they used Shredder costume from Deception for Sub-Zero, seeing how Scorpion has a similar design with the exact swords from DA/Deception on his waist.
The NRS continuity has made the two sub-zero brothers purely Chinese, they are no longer half caucasian. Kitana looking asian on the other hand shouldn't really matter either, since Outworlder "humans" also already look white, since they are extra-dimensional , them being " white" isn't blinked at. The idea that both earthrealm and outworld/Edenia having some kind of equivalent to each other shouldn't really overthought.
jacqui's redesign did SO much for her. her gameplay improved of course, but the dreadlocks and new face with the brighter color scheme than mkx did wonders for her. her outfit looks unique while also fitting the special forces uniform, and everything about her shows more personality than mkx combined
Welcome back to Doods Play Mortal Kombat 11. Today's episode: Full-Auto. After successfully rescuing the temporal duplicates of her mother and father, Cassie and Past!Sonya's tender moment is cut short by Man of A Thousand Lifetimes, Geras, who sets his sights on popping their heads like water balloons.The two must now find a way to halt this Symbionic Titan, lest they find their innards suddenly, painfully evacuated from their bodies. Meanwhile, Jacqui and Past!Jax(Post fleshy arms) embark on a quest to Shang Tsung's island for a covert mission. While on their way, the two talk about such lighthearted topics such as Present!Jax's severe PTSD and contemplating if Past!Jax is resigned to the grim tragedies that unfold in his future and whether or not fighting them will result in Jacqui's complete removal from history(What FUN). As if that weren't enough, they find figurative and literal ghosts waiting for them on the island. Will the two of them escape with their lives? Will they reach their goal before Noob Saibot bores them to death with his dialogue? And who's that familiar face? There's plenty of SPOOKY surprises waiting on today's episode. Don't miss it!
Trevin Grayek And you’re using it well if I say so myself. Hell, I even read the whole thing out loud since many people tell me I sound like the next Morgan Freeman, oddly enough. LOL

There were Revenants in MK9. Right before the The last fights, Raiden vs Liu Kang & Raiden vs Shao Khan, Raiden went to the Netherrealm to parley with Quan Chi, and there the Revenants were revealed and Raiden fought them.
Arguably the best character. His boxing style and the complexity of his story... No other character get's close. Maybe Raiden if the writers developed his evil version a little better instead of deleting him in the first chapter.
I'd say because she's a big name that they thought would draw in more money, but they're a few years past her glory days now and she was never a big name for her ability to talk.
Needed a younger voice as this is in her twenties Sonya again so went with a popular mainstream name and one synonymous with combat. She's not a voice actor by trade, it's not a secret.
@@PvEGamingChannel Laura Bailey wasnt commander shepherd. That was the amazing Jennifer Hale who couldn't do it any way as she captivated us here already as Kronica (she nailed her perfectly IMO)
I like to imagine Old Jax treating Young Jax like his son like the policeman from "Cloudy with a chance of meatballs". I know I've said this earlier, but I felt if was necessary for this episode.
Wait so Jacqui got trashed for being a "Jax clone" in MKX yet that's all Cassie is(Johnny & Sonya) in both MKX and 11 yet she's adored? She's even a Johnny clone in personality. Lmao I don't get people sometimes.
Around 3:20 I to was expecting a Terminator line and was disappointed until I thought the line over. "Choose Our Destiny" and the tone it was said in. I realized Sonya was basically referencing MK:III when the announcer says "choose your destiny" when choosing a difficulty in MK:III.
It's slightly annoying how the "hurting past you hurts future you" thing only seems to apply to the antagonists. Like Jaqui sort of said, considering that she comes from a military family I think it's likely she would've went into the service even if Jax had never lost his arms. Her father's experiences probably do have something to do with how Jaqui got wrapped up in interdimensional stuff, though.
not gonna lie, the older jax is probably my favorite character in this generation, (mk x, mk 11), he is the only one with a really good back and present story, while johnny cage is still my all time favorite, i go for jax this time
This story mode sure has a problem with good guys never losing even if you dont play as them. Cassie never loses, neither does kung lao or human kitana and jade or young jax and jaqui or young sonya just makes the good guys feel too invincible. In mk9 you at least had johny, smoke, jax and sonya losing when you werent controlling them.
I thought it was decent sometimes but at a lot of intervals Ronda sounded really terrible. One of the most memorable moments of Ronda’s bad voice acting was in the fighting pit Sonya and Johnny were in, specifically when she said “get down here you cowards”. Ronda didn’t sound angry or aggressive at all which I thought was pretty funny considering she was a pro MMA fighter.
What surprises me here is that Geras actually feels like an upgrade from Jason Voorhees. Although Geras seems unstoppable, he's a little more human and relatable. His fate is unclear to me with Kronika out of the picture--if he dies in the sea eventually, would he regenerate and escape on his own, or will the "rebooted" or "restored" timeline destroy him altogether? I expect he'll resurface eventually, though.
I like the attention to detail with that one, or more specifically time laws. Past Jaxx beats up present Jaxx, no problem. Flip it and you get things like Kano dying because past him got shot in the face.
Scorpion and Noob are Spectres, they gave Quan Chi their service freely after he made them a bargain to avenge their family or in Bi Hans case, make his stronger and merciless, but retain free will, Revenants are corrupted slaves
Scorpion is a Specter of Hellfire, Noob Saibot is a Wraith of Shadow. Revenants are just cognitive zombie warriors with no special abilities from being undead and in fact seem weaker than they were in life. Additionally the Revenants are bound to Quan Chi & Shinnok. Scorpion for example is not even when he was undead he kould defy Quan Chi. Why does MK have so many forms of resurrection? Hell if I know! Oh and why did Scorpion get unghosted when the revenants turned back? dunno!
There's different ways Quan-Chi can bring back dead characters, they're all revenants but there are different types. There's the generic revenants which are just bringing back dead bodies. With Scorpion, he used deceit & manipulated Hanzo's anger to turn him into a spectre. With Bi-Han, Quan-Chi had the freedom to do whatever he wanted with a skull & spine.
except raiden magic mix with quan chi restored to life, scorpion is a reveant and just happen to got hellfire powers, and reveant are not weaker just more impulse and they can sill kick ass.
If only that could become a staple in fighting games more often, just look at Vanessa Lewis from Virtua Fighter 4 before SEGA completely ruined her in VF5.
@@E24KLawson I hated what they did to Vanessa in VF5, she looked like a completely different character. She looked much better in VF4 where she had a darker skin tone and was more muscular.
It's interesting because like... if past versions of characters or their parents die, the present ones will immediately cease to exist, but apparently, no other events are really affected by it? Like Shao Kahn just got killed last chapter, so by all means, you'd think the kills that happened in MK9 (Sindel's included since Shao was supposed to bring her back) have already been retconned. But here's all the Revenants continuing to exist anyway.
4:14 Given Kronika's comment here, I COULD better understand why Kano only held Past-Sonya and Past-Johnny hostage instead of killing them right away. It does seem Kano and Shao Kahn were just means to distract and split up the heroes, so there would be less of them going after the Well of Souls.
I...really feel Sonya should have been played by Vanessa Marshall or Tricia Hefler instead, this is...not a great performance. Ronda Rousey's shtick fits the emotions but not with this character or the way she looks.
In regards to the timeline discussion I have no idea what netherrealm was going for but we have a few facts about time travel in the MK universe. if you are dead before the timeline collision happens your older self being brought to the present timeline does not resurrect you (sonya) if your past self does something to alter the future, your future changes (y johnny being shot caused a scar on o johnny) if your younger self dies so too does your older self (kano) knowledge of your own future does not change your future, actions must be taken to avoid it (many characters learn dramatic future events about themselves but the timeline is not instantly altered upon learning that information) SPOILERS BELOW Major timeline events repeat themselves over and over regardless of outside influence "Timekeepers" power can be passed on to others (we don't know if kronika was the first timekeeper, but we do know it is liu kang's responsibility now to watch over time and earthrealm)
11:21 it’s the same timeline because if young Kano was from a different timeline future Kano would have been unaffected by Sonya shooting him from the past because it wasn’t from the same timeline thus existing in a while other reality which doesn’t affect theirs
Jax's grenade launcher is an M79 "Thumper," not a China Lake. They're both Vietnam-era standalone grenade launchers, but the Lake has a tube magazine and a pump action.
Geras " your daughter Cassie cage defeated Shinnok son of Kronika. I am his mother's cousin's third 's roommate."

Wait so Jacqui got trashed for being a "Jax clone" in MKX yet that's all Cassie is(Johnny & Sonya) in both MKX and 11 yet she's adored?
She's even a Johnny clone in personality. Lmao
I don't get people sometimes.
Around 3:20 I to was expecting a Terminator line and was disappointed until I thought the line over. "Choose Our Destiny" and the tone it was said in. I realized Sonya was basically referencing MK:III when the announcer says "choose your destiny" when choosing a difficulty in MK:III.
It's slightly annoying how the "hurting past you hurts future you" thing only seems to apply to the antagonists.
Like Jaqui sort of said, considering that she comes from a military family I think it's likely she would've went into the service even if Jax had never lost his arms. Her father's experiences probably do have something to do with how Jaqui got wrapped up in interdimensional stuff, though.
not gonna lie, the older jax is probably my favorite character in this generation, (mk x, mk 11), he is the only one with a really good back and present story, while johnny cage is still my all time favorite, i go for jax this time
3:34 “it’s Garas’s bullshit” 😂😂😂
dude for real just lock up his goop so it can't refrom easy
This story mode sure has a problem with good guys never losing even if you dont play as them. Cassie never loses, neither does kung lao or human kitana and jade or young jax and jaqui or young sonya just makes the good guys feel too invincible. In mk9 you at least had johny, smoke, jax and sonya losing when you werent controlling them.
They made that change on purpose because the good guys tend to lose at the end.
I think they should do what they do in the transformers cybertron games where there’s a campaign for the good guys and bad guys.
@@MyDomVids yeah that can work like having 8 good guy and 8 bad guy chapters.
I love these story vids
Totally worth freeze-framing at 9:53... Thought it was a punch, but he got clotheslined and flipped!
Kronika: Shang Tsung's souls will be mine.
The Gang: Aaaah, *she said the thing!* Shesaidthethigniasdflwjhaoldmsf 🤣
Someone give Sonya’s VA some voice lessons.
You mean Ronda Rousey? That's why it's no so good.
@@jhinpotion9230 She's terrible
Case of questionable celebrity stunt casting
They need to stick to people who are ACTORS, whether voice actor or live action ones who show talent for voiceovers. Ronda is neither
I thought it was decent sometimes but at a lot of intervals Ronda sounded really terrible. One of the most memorable moments of Ronda’s bad voice acting was in the fighting pit Sonya and Johnny were in, specifically when she said “get down here you cowards”. Ronda didn’t sound angry or aggressive at all which I thought was pretty funny considering she was a pro MMA fighter.
Ronda Rousey trying to voice act a sincere emotional moment is like trying to find a clean bathroom in a Taco Bell to shit in.
I want a Geras mod where he throws on you onto some Lego's.
18:34 Noob has excellent dramatic timing.
What surprises me here is that Geras actually feels like an upgrade from Jason Voorhees. Although Geras seems unstoppable, he's a little more human and relatable. His fate is unclear to me with Kronika out of the picture--if he dies in the sea eventually, would he regenerate and escape on his own, or will the "rebooted" or "restored" timeline destroy him altogether? I expect he'll resurface eventually, though.
The statues of the original kombatants are in the island, you can see them when exploring the Krypt
I like the attention to detail with that one, or more specifically time laws. Past Jaxx beats up present Jaxx, no problem. Flip it and you get things like Kano dying because past him got shot in the face.
Scorpion and Noob are Spectres, they gave Quan Chi their service freely after he made them a bargain to avenge their family or in Bi Hans case, make his stronger and merciless, but retain free will, Revenants are corrupted slaves
Scorpion is a Specter of Hellfire, Noob Saibot is a Wraith of Shadow. Revenants are just cognitive zombie warriors with no special abilities from being undead and in fact seem weaker than they were in life. Additionally the Revenants are bound to Quan Chi & Shinnok. Scorpion for example is not even when he was undead he kould defy Quan Chi. Why does MK have so many forms of resurrection? Hell if I know! Oh and why did Scorpion get unghosted when the revenants turned back? dunno!
Technically, they are revenants.
There's different ways Quan-Chi can bring back dead characters, they're all revenants but there are different types.
There's the generic revenants which are just bringing back dead bodies.
With Scorpion, he used deceit & manipulated Hanzo's anger to turn him into a spectre.
With Bi-Han, Quan-Chi had the freedom to do whatever he wanted with a skull & spine.
@@toyoseries too keep it simple Scorpion & Noob Saibot = Ghost Ninja . The revenants = zombies warriors
except raiden magic mix with quan chi restored to life, scorpion is a reveant and just happen to got hellfire powers, and reveant are not weaker just more impulse and they can sill kick ass.
@@diegoernestovarelaparra3820 idunno Sindel sure seemed alot weaker as a revenant
Ronda Rousey's voice acting is rough
I like jacqui’s design, they didn’t white wash her in this game. she looks like an actual young black women.
If only that could become a staple in fighting games more often, just look at Vanessa Lewis from Virtua Fighter 4 before SEGA completely ruined her in VF5.
No black/yellow color scheme either. Very rare for black fighting game characters.
@@E24KLawson I hated what they did to Vanessa in VF5, she looked like a completely different character. She looked much better in VF4 where she had a darker skin tone and was more muscular.
@@trevingrayek791 Not too rare, i mean Deejay, Balrog, Dudley, Elena, TJ Combo, Vanessa Lewis, Raven, etc don't wear black and yellow man lol.
@@orlanzo2621 True, but a lot of the smaller games/state ones do have that. I've seen enough Best Friends play videoes to know that.
18:58 ah yes Noob's shadows saibot , world ender , marrow eater and Chet. We dont talk about Chet.
2:13 *KONO CASSIE DA!!!*
18:55 What the hell!? I thought Noob could only have one Shadow Clone at a time.
He must have gotten more powerful during his absence in MKX.
Steve and Kenny matching their chairs
i bet they were really happy seeing the statues of the og fighters in the kypt
"Guess there was no need for stealth" She says after disembarking from the Huge Gunboat
It's interesting because like... if past versions of characters or their parents die, the present ones will immediately cease to exist, but apparently, no other events are really affected by it? Like Shao Kahn just got killed last chapter, so by all means, you'd think the kills that happened in MK9 (Sindel's included since Shao was supposed to bring her back) have already been retconned. But here's all the Revenants continuing to exist anyway.
4:14 Given Kronika's comment here, I COULD better understand why Kano only held Past-Sonya and Past-Johnny hostage instead of killing them right away. It does seem Kano and Shao Kahn were just means to distract and split up the heroes, so there would be less of them going after the Well of Souls.
I...really feel Sonya should have been played by Vanessa Marshall or Tricia Hefler instead, this is...not a great performance. Ronda Rousey's shtick fits the emotions but not with this character or the way she looks.
Yeah her acting in that chapter was cringe-worthy she should have more emotion
Whoever directed her and let those flat reads stand needs to go to the corner and think about what they did.
Sonya voices by Gamora would have been interesting.
It's voice acting befitting the MK universe.
Jax having his purple pants and all silver arms... Perfect.
when email notifications are faster than the upload of UA-cam itself.......
"Dad, what are you doing? Those look like Kronica's design, I can tell because they are hideous... What are you doing!?!"
Lmao it was ugly. He thought he was swagged out
20:00 How funny; in the new movie, Bi-Han did the same thing.
In regards to the timeline discussion I have no idea what netherrealm was going for but we have a few facts about time travel in the MK universe.
if you are dead before the timeline collision happens your older self being brought to the present timeline does not resurrect you (sonya)
if your past self does something to alter the future, your future changes (y johnny being shot caused a scar on o johnny)
if your younger self dies so too does your older self (kano)
knowledge of your own future does not change your future, actions must be taken to avoid it (many characters learn dramatic future events about themselves but the timeline is not instantly altered upon learning that information)
SPOILERS BELOW
Major timeline events repeat themselves over and over regardless of outside influence
"Timekeepers" power can be passed on to others (we don't know if kronika was the first timekeeper, but we do know it is liu kang's responsibility now to watch over time and earthrealm)
8:05 “Ah shit, here we go again”
11:21 it’s the same timeline because if young Kano was from a different timeline future Kano would have been unaffected by Sonya shooting him from the past because it wasn’t from the same timeline thus existing in a while other reality which doesn’t affect theirs
Jax's grenade launcher is an M79 "Thumper," not a China Lake. They're both Vietnam-era standalone grenade launchers, but the Lake has a tube magazine and a pump action.
man i fucking love how jax's face looks... both new and old
16:45 "Ajizz reflector. A jizz reflector," lmao
2:14 She triiiiied to kill him with a forklift, ole!
