Be Shang Tsung: "You should trust me this time, I am actually on your side"
Also be Shang Tsung: *Smirk all the time, and smirk EVEN HARDER when anyone mentions betrayal*
Really suspicios of his doing
Basically Little finger
did you see that smile at the end he had ominous
He is aware that everyone else is aware of his inevitable betrayal. But as the most key part of the entire operation, no one can do anything about it until it happens. And only he is aware of when it will.
Which only would make it funnier if he just didn't betray them at any point and just keeps them on their toes.
I'm honestly convinced that he's not going to directly betray anyone, and instead he's just having a blast fucking with people.
“Warriors like us are strengthened by sentiment. We do not fight to kill our enemies... we fight to protect our loved ones... that is why it cuts so deeply when we fail.”
“.....that’s some deep-ass shit, Fujin...”
lol
Deep thoughts with Fujin
It really is 👌
Well he tried to live as a human life and he feels it too
Yes that is
Scorpion: "I'm here to assist you"
Sub-zero: "I find that impossible to believe!"
*Shang Tsung and Fujin appear, saying they're friends.*
Sub-zero: "...Well, shit."
Sub-Zero: what is this, happy hour?!
"Wait your turn guys, one dramatic reveal at a time. You're kinda steppin on my toes here."
*Sub-Zero:* First Scorpion killed Hanzo, now Shang Tsung is back, and with Fujin on his side! It can't get any worse than this!
*Sindel:* Nonsense!
@@bazzfromthebackground3696 *Sindel:* Did someone say "dramatic reveal"?
So nobody gone talk about how nightwolf was about to kill himself just like in MK9.
Omg yeahhhh I was so scared for a minute thankfully he didn't
He's so selfless, he's ready to give himself up for the greater good at any time
Katie V Until Shang Tsung gets the crown and kills everyone
He was probably so willing to do it because he knew Liu Kang would bring him back in the New Era.
Nightwolf is just Vegeta
Damn, Fujin is really everyone’s friend in this game isn’t he? I mean, his Tower ending paints him like Jesus! He’s quickly becoming one of my favorite characters along with Kenshi
he's my new favourite character, i love his design in this game, i really couldn't give less of a fuck about him in the older games considering he was never really "relevant"
Fujin was always my second most favorite character, it's just so good seeing all this new love he is receiving.
@@justinjohnston8923 it certainly doesn't help when his first playable debut was mk4
Fujin is great! Such a kind god! Jesus of MK!
I mean he is a friendly gentleman of an Elder God. Ultimately just because Fujin is your friend doesn't mean he is smart. We all know that older Shang Tsung will put that nice crown on his head to be the sexier young man we all remembered in the 1990's. Your soul is mine!! People are ignoring Raiden's call to kill him. Raiden needs to be praised highly because he knows of what is going on!
“Why you have joined Shang Tsung is beyond me, Fujin,”
“Boy, if you’d let me explain *before* shooting...”
They did our boy Fujin good in Aftermath.
So far
Pity they did Sindel dirty tho
@@karma-4730 No so far about it. He's just great
I don't understand, why is everyone saying Fujin is underrated? Was he just pushed to the sidelines or something?
@@matthewmorrison3745 in the past yeah. He was in like one story cutscene in MKX and didn't appear at all in the original MK11 story
i feel like Raiden gets a bad wrap, its hard to be the guy everyone depends on to make decisions where the consequence of fucking up is the loss of everything.
The only time he's really fucked up is MK9 and that's not really even his fault. He wasn't given any instruction on what to do. He literally just started getting random visions of the future. He was never told whether he had to make those events happen, or change them. The hate Raiden gets is so stupid.
Yeah, Raiden has a lot of shit on his shoulders, and if just a small piece of that shit slips out, people go mad and hate on him. It's so stupid.
Is it all because of Kronika. She was the one who make original timeline Raiden to send vision to the past aka current Raiden now in order to reset the timeline so that her son Shinnok can return back to power. At least Raiden confirm this in his intro dialogue with Liu Kang where he said "He Must Win was Kronika's deception". She make Raiden obsessed with the Armageddon vision and manipulate him to let everyone die, especially Liu Kang. Raiden is not to be blamed here. He was being used by Kronika all this time.The only time that Raiden is truly fucked up is when he become corrupted in Deception and resurrect Liu Kang's corpse with some ancient evil necromancer way that make Liu Kang's corpse becoming a mindless killing zombie and let the Zombie Liu Kang kill all the monks in the Wu Shi academy. This is the only sin that Raiden truly done by himself without anyone manipulate him.
I like to believe Liu kang is probly understanding that a lot better in his position now
Yeah, exactly, like I feel people forgot how this all started and only look at his actions from the perspective of knowing the results. He was never the guy who claimed "I know what to do", he was a guy "I know we HAVE to do something or the whole world crumbles but have no idea what" surprising he hasn't gone irreversibly bonkers yet
I love that Max's wish for an MK with assists came true with MK1.
24:20 "I wish the whole game was like this"
Little did he know
Max: "She dies in the story, then she's deleted from the roster right?"
Mileena Fans: :(
Not fair man
Again.... mileena clones. That were never used or brought up
Kombat Pack 2: Did someone say Mileena?
:)
Fujin is the type of guy who would say who must win in his dying message to his past self.
Yep, that's good ol' Fujin
Fujin is the type of guy who would remember what Shinnok was like with Shinnok's amulet, and NOT use it.
Fujin is the type of guy that would calmly talk down his angry best friend rather than killing him
Yep Fuijin is everyones friend. The exact opposite of Shao Kahn.
@@wanderlustwarrior Where exactly is Raiden supposed to put it? Under his mattress?
Fujin might be the best written character in this game.
Nah, that would be Sindel...😏
You spelled Shang Tsung wrong.
Shang Tsung is a pretty good character so far as well
*Shang Tsung
djpegao I wouldn’t say Shang Tsung is exactly written well, but he is FOR A FACT PLAYED WELL.
Man, that Fujin dialogue with Jax was ON POINT.
I don't think He's a "less dumb Raiden" but more of a more compassionate. He feel more human than Raiden. Wich is good. We don't need a Raiden 2 but with wind powers.
Raiden IS very compassionate, actually. In MKX he literally said that Liu Kang and Kung Lao were like sons to him and their loss pushed him into his emo-phase aka Dark Raiden. Hell, in MK (2011) he even looks like he's on the verge of tears every time they lose to Shao Khan and his forces. Because of all this things I actually felt weird than Fujin said to Jax that Raiden told to him not to get close to humans. It felt wrong... The only explanation I can give is that after he felt the pain of a loss he didn't wanted his brother to experience the same heartbreak.
I love Raiden with all my heart and I find Fujin THE BEST thing that Aftermath brought to us (maybe the only good thing at all), but Fujin is not Earthrealms protector. He can afford himself to be more carefree and compassionate and soft. Raiden just can't leave Sky Temple to go roam among humans because of his duty.
And yeah, I hate when people seriously call him dumb or stupid (tho I like to say this as a joke) because he freakin' SAVED Earthrealm, killed Shao Khan and prevented Armageddon. Yes, things were definitely not good but I doubt that anyone could do better.
True!
@@eightenten2010
Finally someone with sense.
@@RJ-rp8yd thx, I really tried to put my thoughts into something understandable which is hard cos english is not my native language and well, because I'm a dumbass :)
@@eightenten2010 (^_^)
Raiden: I was a fool, I allowed anger to control me!
Shang Tsung: *Oh yeah, it's all coming together*
Lol that creepy subtle smile he did at the end there was PERFECT!
"This is so neat! I want all of Mortal Kombat with assists!"
Me: Looks at MK9.
"i wish the whole game was like this" and then we got the kameo system for mk1
Fujin is that friend that picks up when your feelin down..
That's because he had fucked up before and learned from his mistakes and actively tries to be better from those experiences and take control of those consequences and wisdom, while Raiden Is ironwilled into the old ways and lefts everything to the Elder Gods.
Fujin is Pisces. Lol we good hearted
@@LUCC-E-BEAR Your astrological sign has no connection to personality. That's long been debunked.
My opinion. So yes it can lol
@@LUCC-E-BEAR Not an opinion. Just nonsense.
Fujin is such an underrated character; he deserves how time in the spotlight.
Now if only Kenchi could get some love.
Kenshi in mkx was so fire, when faced up scorpion and dodged his spear was crazy
he got his love in mk9 lol
Now if only Ermac and Reptile can get sum luv...this sumb bullshit
I don’t get why people are bringing up kenshi and reptile like they weren’t in the last 2 games. Fujin hasn’t been in a MK game since mk7
@@solismax65 they are fan favourites
Little did Max know that he would be getting Mortal Kombat with assists 3 years later
Raiden is like: I listen to the elder gods and you must listen to me
Fujin is like: I listen to anyone and I care about mortals
I love fujin so goddamn much. Him + shang tsung + nightwolf were the stars of aftermath. void boys for life!
Shang Gang
Dem void boys !
Void boys void boys
Waccha gonna do
Waccha gonna when they paradox
I wonder if they had void orgies.... I mean it must get lonely there, no chicks about.
#1 ranked Shao Kahn EU yea pretty sure nightwolf and Fujin banged a couple times...
Fujin is the cool that Kung Lao used to be.
Kung lao was cool enough in the story mode but his pre match interactions made him ridiculously annoying
Still not over how NRS fucked his character in MK11
I mean Kung wasn't that cool
Man jobbed hard
@@ItsButterBean1020 That's because he was training for a fight he didn't want to be a part of. He's the successor of the Great Kung Lao, so he had to train pretty hard while he longed for a quiet life. And not only did he train hard, but Liu Kang ended up getting all the credit for it as he was the winner of the MK tournament.
And even then, Lao was quite humble. Happy for his friend.
Not to mention he's pretty talented on his own. He can teleport, generate freaking tornadoes while spinning on himself, and has a slicing hat that he control at will. Not to mention he's a great martial artist.
Lao deserved better than what NRS did.
@@aleflippy1997 Plus his hat makes a nice impromptu table saw!
Shang Tsung: "I find your lack of faith amusing."
Fujin: "Oh no, I have ABSOLUTE faith... that you're going to betray us."
Man, the reference in the Noob-Fujin fight, Fujin just generally being awesome, and the impressive narrative story modes of the past few MK games kinda makes me want them to redo MK Mythologies.
bro they need to redo mk deception !!!!!!
not the same narrative though like a game where we get to explore the universe again
Or make a good game out of the whole backstory of Bi-Han instead of trying to remake Mythologies. The whole fighting games controls for a platformer just doesn't work.
That's more what I meant; I was thinking of something along the lines of Shaolin Monks that covers the events of Mythologies, rather than trying to actually remake the game whole cloth.
I think the main difference between Fujin and Raiden the talk with Jax displays is that Raiden is SYMPATHETIC with humans while Fujin is EMPATHETIC with humans.
Two very different things.
We need a chapter with both raiden and fujin play side by side.
Fujin's expressions while talking to jax is amazing
Bro did the bombastic side eye 💀
Seriously, I've been waiting for this just to see more of Tsung. My god, he's so good. Stellar performance from Cary.
I love Shang Tsung's voice in this game. It's just so deliciously evil, isn't it?
Starman Dx I can’t agree more. His performance was outstanding
Tsung's face expressions are killing me. LOL
MrBjnelson I thought it was just me who noticed 😆😆
It's as if he's on the brink of bursting out with laughter when he's working with the heroes, both because they don't know the real reason he wanted to Resurrection Sindel, and because he's amused with everyone's contempt for him.
thats cool how when bi han and fujin fought he brought up their fight in mythologies
Liu Kang: Hold on Raiden, I think-
Raiden: ERRYBODY BETRAY ME!
to be fair I do think that's a realistic reaction, especially after seeing sub-zero and scorpion beaten up.
*Mailman:* Hey, I got a letter that was sent by-
*[Raiden blasts the mailman with Shinnok's Amulet]*
*Raiden:* You also betray me!
I'm just glad they didn't give Fujin a Bo Rai Cho fart and call it "Windbreaker"
Anyone else find it funny that when he does the Raiden impression he even does a face. You can tell how much ciller he is compared to Raiden.
Ciller?
That Talk with Fujin & Jax is why I like Fujin over Raiden. He gets what mortals go through being a demigod watching over them, and lived amongst mortals to understand them better even when he was told not to.
16:33
It's so subtle, but right after Sindel says "Until our next battle...", Fujin's face and the raised eyebrow in the same shot and the next shot says it all. He knew all along, thanks to Liu Kang.
NRS did an amazing job on fujin. I’ve been wanting him since MKX and here he finally is. He’s super fun to play as and has nice kombos. Plus his voice actor is A1 spot on as to what I’d imagine he’d sound like!
I like that Noob made a reference to mitology sub-zero.
Expect weirdly Fujin thinks avoiding a Self destruct attack counts as running away.
@@luckysix1015if the kings death can be retconned three times in three games then I'm sure that fight can also change
@@angellara7040 Fujin accepted in his interaction that he lost, however in story mode he says Noob Saibot run. Two possibilities, he is lying here just because pride, the guys who wrote the story didnt know about sub zero mithologies.
@@Chale1288 or most likely was the fight was retconned. Black was a cowboy who was like 200 years old in mkx now hes just a cosplayer
Mythology*
Coming back to this 3 years later, it's very clear that the assists in this DLC was NRS testing the Kameo feature for MK1. And boy I'm glad they did! Love the Kameos!
Fujin did great in this chapter. And adding he went out of his way to live with humans is a nice touch. Ed boon did it again!
Fujin is already my favorite character on this game, even before my bias to wind-based characters.
Fujin deserves secure roster spot in the next MK
Can you imagine the awkward conversation between Sindel and Nightwolf above ground?:
Sindel: "So, uh, Nightwolf, whatcha been up to"?
Nightwolf: "Oh, not much, still kinda coming to grips with that whole 'BEING MURDERED' thing!
Sindel: "You're never gonna let me live that down ARE you"!?!?
Remember
I really appreciate how they made Fujin to fit the floaty walking sword controlling wuxia cliche
I like Fujin a lot, he's much more mellow and put together than Raiden. Raiden seems like the serious older brother who works himself to death while Fujin is more relaxed in his responsibilities and attitude. They both care about Earthrealm and humans though, think that line about Raiden telling him not to get too attached is more advice for him to keep that carefree attitude.
I agree
Fujin is my favorite character. He’s so sweet to everyone or at least he’s tries to be nice
damn the facial expressions on fujin at 9:55 are crazy good
24:20
"I wish the whole game was like this, it'd be so cool"
I guess NRS do listen after all...
raiden:enough of this madness. if you both must die, so be it.
liu kang:enough of this madness. if you must die, so be it.(mk9 and mk11)
Raiden is the personification of "The road to hell is paved with good intentions"
This might have sounded smart when you thought of it, but that proverb means that evil actions are masked by good intentions. It would be more applicable to an anti-hero, not Raiden. Raiden‘s actions are strictly benevolent, and despite his numerous fuckups, he’s ultimately the reason why things turns out decently.
@@fissilewhistle He's also inadvertently the reason lots of things turn to absolute shit, as well, so it works both ways. The entirety of MK9, and the tertiary plot of X and 11 as well are proof enough.
@@Valanway He had no control of what was happening in MK9. Jesus.
@@annieme-tions he was the one that sent the cryptic message to his past self tho. A "Khan must win" would save himself a lot of misunderstanding
@@annieme-tions Inadvertently was the keyword I used. He got screwed with monkey paw answers and solutions in 9 and X. Good intentions; bad results, regardless of source
Shang Tsung’s constant shit eating grin gives me life. I love that old bastard so much.
don't forget the smug.
We all need a friend like Fujin. Super nice and chill. I feel like Fujin is the type of friend who would comfort you when you're sad and tell you that everything is going to be okay.
I like the subtle things they do, like age Jax a bit in the scene with Shang Tsung so that he looks well older than his younger self when him and Jacqui show up.
i have a feeling someone from NRS saw this commentary from Max about the usability of assists in these fight scenes and decided to go along with that to at least some extent, or better yet this specific part of the aftermath story is just NRS experimenting a somewhat different play style before ultimately deciding it for MK1 considering how many people actually liked it
5:01 “you did not win that fight, you ran away”
Absolutely Love the mythologies reference
I'm having Sub Zero mythologies flashbacks here
Fujin: The younger gods must consult with me.
Raiden is not dumb. The whole reason kronika wanted to get rid of him is because he always thwarts her plans for creating the world the way she wants. Instead of a world of equal good and bad he tips the scales every time.
24:34 max predicted the future fr
13:24 Max predicts MK1
24:11 after three years, wish granted with MK1
12:28 *mouth full of food* "I'M PLAYING SINDEL!!!
13:30 "I want a competitive mode where we can do (assists)."
And with that, the monkey's paw kurls.... And Kameo Fighters were created...
For once, Raiden's rage was actually appropriate here lol when he freaks out upon seeing Shang Tsung
Raiden is definitely stupid at times, but i really liked the whole concept of him being corrupted by the fear of betrayal.
He is like a villain who is doing the right thing in his eyes.
He's never stupid. He has far more wisdom than Fujin.
Raiden isnt stupid he was forced to take actions he wouldnt normally take due to future vision panic
Max predicted the Kameo system
24:34 you got your dream now
24:19 this is so much funnier now that we know of the Kameo system in MK12 (MK1 -2023)
24:33 little did little maximilliondood know...mk1
That assist mechanic looks pretty cool, though something tells me that's just going to be a story mode thing. I didn't realize that Fujin/Noob exchange was a Mythologies reference until Max said it. It's impossible for me to think about that game without, "AHHHHHHHH!"
It's a story mode and Tower (if you use the relevant consumable) thing.
THAT chapter is next...
Max Is gonna flip his shit so hard and it'll be glorious.
Shang Tsung has been getting owned this entire story expansion. First by Revenant Nightwolf, then by Baraka now by Sub-Zero and Raiden. It's actually funny and a bit satisfying, lol.
Still think it's intentional and he enjoys seeing his "allies" helping him because they have no other choice.
I adore seeing Shang Tsung's movements like casting and fighting looks so smooth and cool
The people who call Raiden dumb for his decisions seem to forget that Shinnok's Amulet affects his thought process, has intended by Kronika. Fujin even told him the amulet was getting to him. This isn't hindsight Raiden from the future.
Hindsight Raiden from the future made a lot of bad decisions and he didn't had Shinnok's amulet.
@@djpegao
No he didn't. What bad decisions? Explain.
@@RJ-rp8yd let's see:
Letting Scorpion alone with Subzero on the Netherrealm without supervision, knowing damn well that Quan Chi was doing something weird.
Setting up both Subzeros to be killed for no damn reason (although it can be argued he didn't knew about the first one manipulation)
Trusting the elder gods even when told that they wouldn't help, with resulted on 70% of the roster getting axed by Sindel (still, after watching this makes no sense)
Not reviving/getting back Nightwolf revenant, who literally took out an overpowered souled up Sindel and has a mystical spirit force.
Letting Shinnok's amulet be stolen twice and not putting it on a better place (trew it on the fucking sea of blood damn it)
Keeping the amulet and let it get to him.... ¿btw how come past Raiden has the amulet when he explicitly stated that he was just on the tournament when he arrived.
Not bothering on getting rid of Shinnok's head as a power source twice (thrice counting aftermath)
The best decision he made so far was to leave the story and letting Liu Kang taking care of business, granted he has a lot of experience and wisdom to spare so he helped a lot on the last part of the Mair story.
@@djpegao you mean things that happened that he had no idea of happening because he's not the Raiden with Fire God Liu Kang, who has hindsight?
@djpegao HE picl3d up the Amulett left behind when the dark raiden disappeared
As a huge Raiden fan and him being my favrouite MK charcter, it's hurts that i agree with people. Raiden could be pretty dumb
Can be*
I think Fujin is equally stupid
Man, Aftermath is just making Fujin shine. Also, I'm wondering if them incorporating assists in this story mode means they're considering it for the next game.
Fujin is amazing in aftermath change my mind.
shang tsung
13:20
the year is 2023 and guess what
Shang Tsung smug face is priceless...
24:18 well, now it is with Kameos. 😂
24:36
2023: well we have one now
He said he wants mortal kombat with assist...now you got it Max with Kameos.
Those Shang Tsung smirks are the good stuff. I love schemer villains and Cary's performance is on point.
It's interesting to see characters less "explored" in past games like Fujin pra Shiva getting some development,and oh boy do i like that!
agreed. that and them re-contextualizing more developed characters in interesting ways is the thing that bitters the sweetness of the next timeline reboot. the MK9-11 saga has some of my favorite versions of the characters that appear, and it kinda sucks that all that interesting development is just going to be GONE. Or pissed away like non revenant Hasashi, or truly resurrected Sindel, or on a more personal note having Enenra fully control Smoke's consciousness and NEVER follow up on that.
The whole chapter and max never even touched his down up move
"I want Mortal Kombat with assists"
little did he know
A year after this game launched and I still can't get over how good the faces are
13:27 I mean it is funny because that is basically MK1 lol
Ha I love how Fujin about raiden to Jax, he’s such a younger brother.
There's a real reason Fujin seems like a less stupid Raiden
As he said himself, warriors are strengthened by sentiment, he learned what true compassion is. Rather than having the belief of of "I am a God, above all mortals".
Also that moment with being able to call in Shang Tsung as an assist, I wouldn't be surprised if that is going to be a mechanic added later (if they find a way to keep it balanced).
The People's Champ
And he actively trusts on his instincts instead of _"I must consult with the elder gods"_ for every little thing unlike his brother, he mades mistakes but can learn from them and grow while Raiden is stuck on the old ways so to speak.
Buddy, Raiden literally claimed that Liu Kang and Kung Lao were like his sons, so don't even go there acting like Raiden has no feelings for mortals. He never even acts like he's above them. Even in his intros, he tells characters like Kitana and Jade that he'd be honored to help them.
There are a bunch of comments about how Raiden isn't a selfish dumbass with actual explainations, please read them before spreading your assumptions, it's really unfair.
Here's a part of them, Raiden really see Kung Lao and Liu Kang as his sons and their death badly affected him, that's why he tells Fujin "Don't get too attached to them", he don't want his brother suffer the same fate, being heart broken. Raiden don't deserve all of this hate.
@@kasamigi8031 could be truth, except we don't know when this fight happened, Fujin only mentions they fought and he left the temple, but didn't specify when.
so this is why mk1 happened
I love the one time Shang Tsung is actually scared is when he sees Raiden in possession of Shinnok's amulet. Shang Tsung might be a slimy bastard, but even for him Shinnok's amulet is a line he does not cross.
You think Fujin uses a crossbow as a weapon so he can shoot AIRrows?
Get out. 😐
When Cetrion was put in the air and Shang Tsung brought the fire snake down that was literally from the MK Deception intro cinematic with Raiden, Quan Chi, and Shang Tsung
11:18 max: deeply contemplating hentai joke or to cut video short and reach for Kleenex.
That's what I had first in mind
@@KiKi-ff7ib I had to check to see if I was on UA-cam or redtube🤣🤣🤣
Honestly I wish we had full movies like this
Little did max know MK1 was bringing the assist to make it his favorite game to play
Love how Shang Tsung smirks every time when either Nightwolf or Fujin mentions treason or disbelieve in him. Totally not fishy.
Spoiler alert:
Shang Tsung does betray them in the end.
Honestly, its not a spoiler at all. Everyone know he is a traitor.
Would have been more interesting if Shang Tsung didn't betray them in the end but that would have been way too clever for NRS.
@@L16htW4rr10r I still hid it as "spoiler" since there are some naive people who would believe that he wouldn't betray them.
@@freshandzesty1111 Probably. But that would've been defied his purpose if he actually had keep his word.
Literally just rewatching this whole storyline, just for your commentary.
Fujin has more compassion because he spends more time among humans. Raiden just advises Lui Kang. It would explain why he uses a sword and crossbow. Probably influenced by mortals
Fujin: wind
Raiden: lightning
Geras: earth
Lui Kang: Fire
Subzero: ice
Noob sabot: darkness
Scorpion: hellfire
They're not gods
@@GaryTurbo Liu Kang is the lord of thunder and lightning, while Nightwolf could be consider a demigod because of his connection to the great spirit (he roasted Sindel and was about to do the same to Cetrion who is an elder god herself) so I think he qualifies.
