I have seen this like 22 times over the years When ever I think about MK legacy, this episode pops in my mind. And even when I see tv series, were a mental hospital appears, this episode pops in my mind. This is just an awesome, awesome concept. A weakend Raiden. Powers tuned down. But still powerful. And just lands in the wrong place. Still he will not kill people as he is to protect them. By far, the best short story video in the historie of youtube. Ohhh I would love to see him toast his captivators. But again, he is Lord Raiden, Protector of Earth Realm. And will not kill humans. He is sedated by a huge amount of ketamin, dulling his senses. And, when he is tased, regains some of his senses. Love it.
@@SaintAscolon if people still fail to understand that after watching 8 minutes of Raiden being sedated, abused, exhausted, and whatnot, then people are retarded. And yes, judging by a bunch of comments "why didn't he just shoot lightning?", people are retarded and don't deserve an actually good MK story.
I've always been a big fan of Ryan Robbins. Seen him in so many shows, like _Sanctuary_, _Stargate:_ _Atlantis_, _Falling_ _Skies_, _Continuum_, etc. He even popped up in the recent _Warcraft_ film. So happy to see him get to play a god, and Raiden of all things.
@@albertscaletta2687 due to earthrealms rules he has to have a mortal body to walk on earth with other people, raiden still has his training, but in reality his body is just as fragile as a normal body
Honestly I thought it was a good episode ...his earthly body was weak asf falling from the heavens and being drugged/lobotomized for literally months(I'm sure his regenerative abilities kept him from being a complete vegetable )...after being charged up again from taser he dies and rematerilizes somewhere else to continue his initial mission....honestly if a charge is all he needed he should have maybe stuck a fork in a plug if possible ..idk how mental places work or if they even have access to shit like that but a man coincidentally dressed in all white screaming he's a God on the premises makes it even more realistic why they started treating him like any other patient not caring.. good job
@@DoubleTapManiac just saying alot of people give this series flack especially this episode ...I thought it was one the more realistic ones and fit the tone
MegaAmir46 I agree, I see a lot of negativity on legacy but I believe it to be a solid “realistic” telling of the source material. This episode in particular seemed to bank on plenty of nuance that many viewers didn’t seem to grasp. Raiden CRASH lands into earthrealm, vomits after awakening and is subdued promptly. I felt it was almost spelled out to the letter that Raiden was weakened. Raiden is then drugged to hell which justifies the idea that his powers might be dampened to non existence. I think had they included Raiden in another episode with his powers then this episode would have had a better reception overall.
@@DoubleTapManiac right! Makes me Wonder how the new film will play out...I know they are going to portray them more lore accurate but Legacy and its step up in Production for season2 always left me wanting more
This guy? Lord Raiden? Nah, he's more like some entry level X-man who's actually crazy, has no idea what's happening to him, and watched way too much MK.
Kronika: Raiden do you remember that time when i sent you into that psych? xD Raiden: What psych? Kronika: Oh... Look! Shang Thung is on that house! Raiden: Where!? Send me there!! NOW! Kronika: X'D
raiden the god of thunder the one who fought the deadly alliance and survived the one who took down an ex-eldergod cant break out of a goddamn mental asylum
This was, by far, the best, most stand-out episode of the entire series. Kevin Tancharden was absolutely correct, the perfect blend of gritty realism and mysticism in a wonderful mix. Engaging, characterful, subtle where it needed to be, explosive at just the right points. Brilliant short storytelling at its finest.
Among other things, this MK clip is great because it has a great allegory.. Lord Raiden will help humanity as long as humanity helps him... And the young girl does exactly that, helps Raiden in order to save human kind.. Faith in humanity is restored.. This young woman actually saves humanity meaning that human kind still have kind soul that deserves to be saved.. Excellent! This is what we want to see in the screen in a Mortal Kombat movie not just random fights, fatalities and animalities! 👏👏
what if he was in Mortal Kombat tournament and faced one of the doctors that's restraining him right now? He would lose and then the world would be doomed lol.
i like it. favorite so far actually. but a) i would like to see him use his power to escape. it is odd that he is powerless. and b) the lobotomy stuff was creepy.
Poor Blue wonder what happened to her. Hopefully in another time when this series did good Raiden took her to a monastary to try give her a calmer and non threatened lifestyle
The very best Raiden was Jeffery Meek of Mortal Kombat Conquest. He was also the best Shao Khan. He played both characters on that show perfectly. The Shao Khan on Legacy was to me pathetic. This Raiden however was better than Christopher Lambert. I never cared for Christopher as Raiden. This Raiden however was a little week couldn't free himself from simple mortals. How could he compete let alone win a freaking tournament? I mean common he was a lab rat for mortals in a psycho word. He needed help to suicide just to escape. GOD of Thunder my ass!
I like how the doctor didnt find it strange that his blood was blue, also why is Raiden's blood blue? as far as I can remember it was always red in the games. Still its a good episode, should have kept the same raiden throughout the series.
Um. No, thats a myth and aside from fictional conspiracy or tabloid sites, no human has had blue blood. Medical websites explain our color comes from the iron in our blood, and only changes hue due to changes in 02 levels.
@@paitrynpait9664 no... it never changes colour. The misunderstanding about o2 levels changing the colour was from the fact that the veins themselves are different colours.
He gave up his immortality and powers to join the tournament. He would only gain certain abilities whence he got to Shang Tsungs island which explains his inability to teleport or leave... my opinion.
1:54-2:15 feels like the disappointment of how 'adulting' doesn't really so much mean autonomy and liberation as much as it does getting you're a-- kicked by the usual expectations and scarcity which happens to everyone else and *feels* like it's only non-immutable to a relative handful ('the 1%' or mental health staff w/approaches which leave something majorly to be desired).
In the instructions manual from the very first MK game it said in Raider's bio that he was invited to MK by Shang Tsung himself and in order to join he has to take on a mortal form. So in this case he somehow got trapped inside this mortal form and his powers got suppressed. So when they tazed him his powers resparked but not enough, so his lady friend had to kill his mortal form. By doing so he got back to his true god form.
I really like their perspective on Raiden, I think the actor did a great job playing him. Of course every movie has flaws, loops all that but I think they did a great job the way they portaryed. I see so many negative comments on here so much critisism and it's just not right. This is personally one of my favorite episodes on the Legacy series it's so twisted how they perform a labotomy on him it's cruel but i can't keep my eyes off of it xD
I figured it was because this was his "earthly" form, and therefore he needed to die for his spirit to be able to release itself from his humanly body. If not that, then I have no idea.
Why do people insist on "realism" in fantasy and fiction? It's a contradiction in terms. If I want realism I'll watch Cops or freaking History Channel. I watch fantasy and fiction to get away from crap like this.
craycejedi "Why do people insist on "realism" in fantasy and fiction? It's a contradiction in terms. If I want realism I'll watch Cops or freaking History Channel. I watch fantasy and fiction to get away from crap like this." I know your comment is old, but I wanted to answer it anyway. Personally, I hate reality, which is why I enjoy fiction and fantasy-type stuff, particularly, pop culture. Thus, I like the idea of people trying to bring to something fiction like Batman or MK into something believable. I just hate how people laugh at someone else because they hate this real world and believe they can do the impossible (which some people can do such as jumping off a building and surviving or being able to go for days without food). My point is that I wish something fictional like Batman were put into a realistic setting so that people would open up their eyes and realize, things are possible. I thank Nolan for this. This video is shit, though.
Sometimes it just doesn't work to have everything down to the spot in movie/series adaptions, especially in low(ish) budget productions like this. It may end of looking more goofy than cool, especially what's with Mortal Kombat's style. It looks cool in games, but necessarily in live action.
Because, when it's written in the right ways, something completely fantastical can look and feel like it could happen and that will lend weight, believability and a sense of magical/mysterious awe to the story of something we feel like it could be real, it could be there there but don't quite understand how or why, rather than something we straight up know it's fake. When it's written in the right ways, that is.
I like the doctor actor. The way he makes his voice sound and the way the mic expels it makes a satisfying sound to me. Like he’s chewing his mouth a bit with each of his lines or something
+azraelangelofred Me too mang!! I like what the director did here with him. Raiden being in his earthly form had to die first in his mortal body to gain access to the full potential of his Elder God powers.
He did? At the beginning he survived a fall from the skies. The taser empowered him making him a more efficient and focused fighter. At the end, too, he teleported.. I like that his powers have rules and consequences. His teleportation can only be done upon death, even then, he has little to no control. His electric abilities are subtle and seemingly chaotic which makes sense.
@ He does have control over his powers but not when in Earthrealm during the MK tournament and not in his human form. If you want lame ass Marvel bullshit where he's OP then stick with that. This re-imagining makes sense.
I respect trying to make something different, but damn this is too much. Downgrading the wise God of Thunder to a screaming maniac and a hat stealer is not a something I would expect from the character origin. Not to mention it explains fcng nothing about who he is and what is his story.
@@plotreyyyyyy9974 I respect your comment, but it's not just that. It's supposed to be a whole different take on Raiden. He's also weaker, because he slammed into the ground, from where, we won't know, at enough speed to make a crater. Then again, your idea is pretty reasonable, so gg with at least being reasonable, unlike most of the comments I've seen.
They didn't downgraded him, he had to lose his powers in order to compete in the tournament. Unfortunately he landed in a psych ward with similar clothes from the patients. I think the point of this storyline is: what would you do if Rayden came to you in real life and said those things about Shao Khan and destruction of Earth in order to convince you to fight in Mortal Kombat? Would you believe him or would you treat him like the doctor did? Because that's Rayden's task on Earthrealm and yeah, it sounds bonkers.
There is also something to say about the girl who helped Raiden, Blue. When Raiden blew up he left behind blue blood or residue, this gave her assurence that what she was ok and thus she did not feel any guilt or haunting. I imagine, if the series continued, Raiden would of gone back and got her out and taken her to the Wushi temple for training as a protege of his as a thank you for what she did at a critical moment of the timeline (before the tournament) a good fan fic would be to see her training as a shaolin to be a possible future chosen warrior or to create decendents that would be chosen down the line.
Raiden, God of Thunder, gets taken down by a couple of orderlies bahahaha. shows up to the tournament afterwards and everyone is all like "you look like shit Raiden" his response is like "yeah, ketamine and lobotomies will do that"
He gave up his abilities and such to join the tournament.. he would only gain some or partial abilities once he got to Shang Tsungs island which he is clearly not at. The big question is did he give up his immortality? Cuz once he was killed his essence was reborn and sent elsewhere.. closer to the island?
What year did this series take place??? They have the tech to make cyborgs, but someone suffers from perceive delusions and doctors go “yup lobotomy time!!”
I know this is non canon but seriously no film can ever get Raiden right, maybe dressing him up like in the games would totally be better and not make him skinny and weak
Raiden: I must consult the Elder Gods.
Psychiatrist: Here take these elder pills.
LMFAO, AS EXPECTED
Also Psychiatrist: *Have some fucking Elder Ketamine, buddy.*
He took the red pill. Thought it would got Him power. Also "different than last time", in time.
"must consult the Elder Gods" is his street dialect's code for "go on one hell of a psych trip".
They say that they're helping, but they're really just causing pain. Some psychiatrists are just plain hypocrites.

Its probably cause he's in human form, maybe idk
@@plotreyyyyyy9974 I respect your comment, but it's not just that. It's supposed to be a whole different take on Raiden. He's also weaker, because he slammed into the ground, from where, we won't know, at enough speed to make a crater. Then again, your idea is pretty reasonable, so gg with at least being reasonable, unlike most of the comments I've seen.
@@Ghostryda115 He gave up his powers to compete in the tournament as a human. I think it only works during Mortal Kombat.
They didn't downgraded him, he had to lose his powers in order to compete in the tournament. Unfortunately he landed in a psych ward with similar clothes from the patients.
I think the point of this storyline is: what would you do if Rayden came to you in real life and said those things about Shao Khan and destruction of Earth in order to convince you to fight in Mortal Kombat?
Would you believe him or would you treat him like the doctor did? Because that's Rayden's task on Earthrealm and yeah, it sounds bonkers.
Liam Neeson for raiden in new mortal kombat movie.
James wan hope you're reading this 👆
@@demoncyborg98 that's terrible he'd be a terrible raiden
He's been a jedi master zeus trained batman. Fought wolves with his bare hands ...this role is perfect for him
There is also something to say about the girl who helped Raiden, Blue. When Raiden blew up he left behind blue blood or residue, this gave her assurence that what she was ok and thus she did not feel any guilt or haunting. I imagine, if the series continued, Raiden would of gone back and got her out and taken her to the Wushi temple for training as a protege of his as a thank you for what she did at a critical moment of the timeline (before the tournament) a good fan fic would be to see her training as a shaolin to be a possible future chosen warrior or to create decendents that would be chosen down the line.
So your telling me this Doctor alone could take down Shao khan’s forces? 😂
Wtf, then, they can take shao kahn down too 😂😂😂
Raiden, God of Thunder, gets taken down by a couple of orderlies bahahaha. shows up to the tournament afterwards and everyone is all like "you look like shit Raiden" his response is like "yeah, ketamine and lobotomies will do that"
I THOUGHT IT WAS RICK!!
10:01- serah que este efeito/fenomeno eh mesmo fantasioso?, ou o teleporte eletromagnetico eh possivel na engenharia complexa/avançada?
People in commentary-section is dumb.
This is just DIFFERENT Raiden. It's like Dark Knight of Nolan. Silly idea at Reall Wordl.
Yeah, he made himself mortal so he could actually compete
Also Raiden came to protect humanity, he's not going to openly kill humans...why are people so stupid?
Plus the first frame of the video states that it's a different take on the character.
this is my favorite episode. i love this series, i wish it got a season three
Rick Grimmes It´s Lord Rayden...PERFECT!!..
Wish this went somewhere.
You hope to lobotomize me? Oh, please! I'm Raiden!
At the end
Me: OH SNAP! its about to go DOWN!
video: *credit's come on*
Me: WUT?!?! *flips table*
I thought Raiden can teleport.!!!
Same
He gave up his abilities and such to join the tournament.. he would only gain some or partial abilities once he got to Shang Tsungs island which he is clearly not at. The big question is did he give up his immortality? Cuz once he was killed his essence was reborn and sent elsewhere.. closer to the island?
I love this video. I want to see so much more from Tancharoen's world.
I honestly love this take on Raiden!
What year did this series take place???
They have the tech to make cyborgs, but someone suffers from perceive delusions and doctors go “yup lobotomy time!!”
I feel sad for Raidin
lord raiden my fav of them all...the end was ...awesome
I know this is non canon but seriously no film can ever get Raiden right, maybe dressing him up like in the games would totally be better and not make him skinny and weak
I laughed when Raiden took away that man's hat
this is dope as fuck
And you never heard from this character or this actor ever again!
I don't care what people say! You're all doing great with these! Keep up the good work. :)
I bought the bluray of MK Legacy. At minute 11 the lightning eye effect didn't have sound on bluray. :(
