Alan Lee is amazing on his own league, but Tagawa genius cannot be replaced... How he fully immersed us into this character and made us forget it was only voice-acting...truly a masterpiece of a performance
I honestly love how they added the whole thing about Shang Tsung stealing the souls of those he kills. It makes his character so much more intimidating and interesting.
5:35 Joker told him "Never rub another man's rhubarb" which is a way of saying not to mess with his girl, meaning Shang Tsung stole his face and did something with Harley. Holy shit, Shang is a fucking PLAYER
I think it's just someone using his face. Joker is really touchy about people getting too close to the source. Which is likely why he seemed genuinely intimidated when Geras threatened to expose his real identity.
Yeah, Shang Tsung turned into Joker and either 1. Slept with Harley Quinn Or 2. Absolutely *brutalized* Harley Quinn The former of the two choices I did not need to imagine but I did anyway for some reason
Prior to this game, I never would have imagined it, but there is something really satisfying about hearing Keith David and Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa as Spawn and Shang Tsung.
We'll see soon if he will be back in MK1. There are some interesting twists revealed so far: Mileena and Kitana are for example in better terms than before, albeit there is still some tension between them. Now Scorpion and Sub-zero are brothers: Bi-han is now Sub-zero, with Kuai Liang taking role of scorpion(presumably). Oh, and Raiden is back, except he's human now and younger. He still has lightning powers, though.
I love how much of an unapologetic A-hole Shang Tsung has always been. I love how even Joker of all people doesn't like being jabbed by the sorcerer. No matter the situation Shang always comes across as the evil magician with tons of backup plans and quips.
Shang is an opportunistic character. Not nessicarly evil evil. (Depending on ones personal perspective and viewpoints) but he is self serving and antagonist at his best. At his worst,he is cunning and honestly the best villain of mk imho. His charisma is off the charts. But gameplay wise has always been fun. But like any character,they have their own niche,you just gotta find it and play it good as you can. ♡
I honestly can’t see a single flaw in the theme of Shang Tsung. Cary's voice slow and confident and his face the same. Makes him come off as scheming and opportunistic. Like he is planning only his success and his plan is playing out perfectly.
Oh cool, they referenced Shang Lao. That was gonna be Shang Tsung's name back when Kitana was gonna be his daughter under the name Kitsune, which is probably why Shang Tsung is Mileena's creator in the lore.
Ol' Cary had a unique, understated method of delivery for his lines compared to the others. Or, as I submit, he was just drunk the whole time he was recording. I wonder about Dimitri also.
I am disappointed, yet unsurprised that this is not an intro; Me: "Jafar! Where's Iago?" Shang Tsung: "I am not impressed. Me: "Screw you, that's funny."
The actor/voice actor IS Shang Tsung, and will always be on the MK community, you can't change that ! The voice, the laugh, the style, the model, the personnality.. Everything that the actor did on the IRL movie as Shang Tsung makes the character on MK11 more likeable, nicer and cool (and many more lol). Like the actor was born to be Shang Tsung irl, THE Shang Tsung we all need in the game franchise. It's just that perfect! I think it was the best gift he ever gave to us, and i hope he still realizes it❤
Seeing the random ass gangster running from Shao Kahn never gets old. I'd be scared shitless too if I was stuck in that world with literally no idea what's going on or no super powers/martial prowess at all.
Spider-Man: No voo doo from you Fu Man Chu! Shang Tsung: Foolish Boy, your soul is mine! Spider-Man: Fortune Cookie says that's not gonna happen! Spider-Man: So Yellow Peril meets Sorcerer Supreme lite? Shang Tsung: I will kill Steven Strange for his power. Spider-Man: Man, stick to fighting Bruce Lee ripoffs. Spider-Man: Im sending you back to netherrealm! Shang Tsung: Mr. Parker, a deal for your aunts soul? Spider-Man: Not gonna happen, M Bison. Shang Tsung: A guilt driven child of responsibility. Spider-Man: It's not a bad gig. Shang Tsung: It's amusing how you delude yourself. Shang Tsung: The age of Superheroes is at an end. Spider-Man: What's that mean? Shang Tsung: It means I have the Infinity Gauntlet! Shang Tsung: You and Liu Kang will fail this world. Spider-Man: Here we go, Villain Monologuing. Shang Tsung: Even your heroism cannot best me in kombat!

Seeing him back in this game made me wish Quan chi was in this mx
This is Shang Tsung's definitive voice for me.
I agree.
I totally agree and I swear I heard this voice actor from some where else
@@Mercer13958 the voice and model is the guy from the 1990s Mortal Kombat movie!!!
@@BIGD-cc7ru 44:10
This is an example
“Your soul is mine!”
Absolutely
Kabal: Stealing my soul won't make you faster.
Shang Tsung: Actually, that is precisely how it works.
Kabal: Ah, shit.
Shang Tsung is evil as hell but the man’s got style
Same to Shao khan
His Deadly Alliance look was the best one he ever had imo.
He has a dress made especially for Sonya
@@coltgun876that & his movie outfit (which was emulated well enough in the game!).
@@midniteryder_3-16 I love the outfit he had in the movie i agree
"You scheme against Kronika!"
"Prove your slander, Geras."
"You're Shang Tsung."
Alan Lee is amazing on his own league, but Tagawa genius cannot be replaced... How he fully immersed us into this character and made us forget it was only voice-acting...truly a masterpiece of a performance
"it was sewn by the finest designers from Outworld"
The image of tarkatan designer team creating a sexy dress is hilarious
Imagine the inmortal army of onaga just gathering silk around.
"Meat for the Meat Cart! Lace for the Sexy Dress!"
Shang Tsung: "his greatest legacy was failure"
Kung Lao: "his greatest legacy was me"
Shang Tsung: "then I see nothing has changed"
He should have said "Congratulations, you just clowned yourself."
A burn so bad it makes the Netherrealm look cool
alternatively, "I am disinclined to repeat myself you fool."
@@AceMadness59no that’s just lame
@@FRANKHORRIGAN_ENCLAVESOLDIER it’s in character
I LOVE how the OG Shang Tsung from the 90s movie is the model and the voice actor is the actor himself!!
His voice is just so soothing. I want Shang Tsung to sing me lullabies or read me bedtime stories until I fall asleep.
simp.
Even if he takes your soul after?
Ikr! Something about his voice is soothing yet menacing. His voice is def ASMR
@@smilegabe simp
@@Scorpion77EhkkH73W557F is that the only word in your vocabulary?
Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa just has too much natural charisma... I wish this man could stay Shang Tsung for always.
Guest characters: **exist**
Shang Tsung: "tO sEe iF I CoUld eNLiSt yOUr SerViCEs."
Joker:HAHAHAHA NO
I honestly love how they added the whole thing about Shang Tsung stealing the souls of those he kills. It makes his character so much more intimidating and interesting.

I think it's just someone using his face. Joker is really touchy about people getting too close to the source. Which is likely why he seemed genuinely intimidated when Geras threatened to expose his real identity.
Something is just so funny about The Joker saying “You son of a bitch” out of nowhere
WAIT WHAT-
It's an homage to Jack Nicholson's Joker from the 89 Batman film.
Yeah, Shang Tsung turned into Joker and either
1. Slept with Harley Quinn
Or
2. Absolutely *brutalized* Harley Quinn
The former of the two choices I did not need to imagine but I did anyway for some reason
Prior to this game, I never would have imagined it, but there is something really satisfying about hearing Keith David and Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa as Spawn and Shang Tsung.
They should continue using this version of Shang Tsung for every game. It’s like what mark hamill is to the joker
We'll see soon if he will be back in MK1. There are some interesting twists revealed so far: Mileena and Kitana are for example in better terms than before, albeit there is still some tension between them. Now Scorpion and Sub-zero are brothers: Bi-han is now Sub-zero, with Kuai Liang taking role of scorpion(presumably).

I love how much of an unapologetic A-hole Shang Tsung has always been. I love how even Joker of all people doesn't like being jabbed by the sorcerer. No matter the situation Shang always comes across as the evil magician with tons of backup plans and quips.
Let’s take a moment and savor the fact that the Joker was put in his place by Shang Tsung. “Not in this world, you giggling imp!”
Shang Tsung is so freaking charming...
I love that they basically made Shang Tsung's fantasies of Sonya canon now
I love how he doesn't give af about others than himself or maybe Quan Chi, but the second he sees Sonya, the dude becomes horny af for her
“You have been chosen, Sonya. Much to my delight.”
21:46 Shang Tsung is technically correct. Kano healed him...with Shang Tsung’s magic in MK 9.
22:55 fitting given what happens in MK1. The battle between these two is eternal
Shang is an opportunistic character. Not nessicarly evil evil. (Depending on ones personal perspective and viewpoints) but he is self serving and antagonist at his best. At his worst,he is cunning and honestly the best villain of mk imho. His charisma is off the charts. But gameplay wise has always been fun. But like any character,they have their own niche,you just gotta find it and play it good as you can. ♡
I love how he also loses patience with shao khan’s belittling of him instead of simply begging…
38:59 someone's spiked the soul chamber with laughing gas, apparently
I honestly can’t see a single flaw in the theme of Shang Tsung. Cary's voice slow and confident and his face the same. Makes him come off as scheming and opportunistic. Like he is planning only his success and his plan is playing out perfectly.
Joker: you son of a b***h your stole my face
Shang tsung: I could a steal a lot more you clown..
Liu Kang: How many times must I kill you?
Shang Tsung: You can never truely finish me, Liu Kang.
Liu Kang: Nor can I stop trying.
Me: how many times we have to teach you this lesson, shang tsung?!
0:31 Badass Line Ever
"It's for science"
-The man who mastered nearly every form of sorcery
Oh cool, they referenced Shang Lao. That was gonna be Shang Tsung's name back when Kitana was gonna be his daughter under the name Kitsune, which is probably why Shang Tsung is Mileena's creator in the lore.
His soul magic is cool as hell
Getting Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa to reprise his role from the first MK movie was nothing short of perfect. He is the definitive Shang Tsun.
“Your soul is mine.”
No one...NO ONE can say it better.
Old school 🗣🗣💯💯
I'll say that to Vanellope and every racers of sugar rush and rip the souls out of them permanently.
Ol' Cary had a unique, understated method of delivery for his lines compared to the others. Or, as I submit, he was just drunk the whole time he was recording. I wonder about Dimitri also.
I quite like it when Shang Tsung muses about technology being superior to magic when faced with the Terminator.
Thank god. No music so I can hear what the hell he's saying
0:04 Why is it so smooth?!
4:47 Did Joker just quote Dolly Parton???? ("It costs a lot of money to look this cheap!")
"My we have a colorful imagination". Dunno why but it makes me laugh.
20:06 and who are you? Queen, bishop?
I like how he says Sub-Zero's soul is warm. That's sweet.
Coming from Shang Tsung... Unlikely. He despise goodness in any form except when he gets the kindness from other people.
I am disappointed, yet unsurprised that this is not an intro;
Me: "Jafar! Where's Iago?"
Shang Tsung: "I am not impressed.
Me: "Screw you, that's funny."

Thanks for bot using the same entrances as all other youtubers do!
This is the Shang Tsung fans came to love. And his enemies came to hate.
Shang Tsung: What would you be without blood magic?
Skarlet: More than you would be without souls
Take that, biatch!
"I was Deadly long before I could control them."
Such an amazing character with crazy abilities!
Seeing the random ass gangster running from Shao Kahn never gets old. I'd be scared shitless too if I was stuck in that world with literally no idea what's going on or no super powers/martial prowess at all.
YOUR SOUL IS MINE!!!👊👊👊💯🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
I'll say that line from 44:06 to all racers of sugar rush and Vanellope.
21:18 the exact moment Kabal new he’s fucked
Lmao
35:23 I really love this one a lot, The terminator hasn't seen things
Cary Hiroyuki-Tagawa is definitely HIM
Spider-Man: No voo doo from you Fu Man Chu!

Spider-Man: Im sending you back to netherrealm!
Shang Tsung: Mr. Parker, a deal for your aunts soul?
Spider-Man: Not gonna happen, M Bison.
Shang Tsung: A guilt driven child of responsibility.
Spider-Man: It's not a bad gig.
Shang Tsung: It's amusing how you delude yourself.
Shang Tsung: The age of Superheroes is at an end.
Spider-Man: What's that mean?
Shang Tsung: It means I have the Infinity Gauntlet!
Shang Tsung: You and Liu Kang will fail this world.
Spider-Man: Here we go, Villain Monologuing.
Shang Tsung: Even your heroism cannot best me in kombat!
Shang Tsung having the Infinity Gauntlet is a horrifying image
sub zeros dlc voice is hard to listen to... no soul. maybe cause shang tsung stole it?
Is Dimitri Vegas some sort of joke?
I don't remember. All I remember of Dimitri Vegas was that he was a soccer player.
Might as well be. Every single line reading he did was atrocious.
I was wondering who the hell he is also lol
26:27 You cloned kitana, You despicable fiend!
1:27 what is he saying???
Shang Tsung is ethnically Chinese, so he might be speaking it. But then again, he comes from a China 1000+ years in Earth's past.
I hear "Ha Shi Oe(n)"
44:10 your soul is mine
Shang Tsung: you have no dignity or manners,Kano.
Kano: i'm the richest damn yobbo in earthrealm!
Shang Tsung: disrespectful cretin.

The fourth intro with Cassie is just a repeat of the first.
Anybody else think he was modeled after his 90s actor for this game?
Thats.... Because it is. Cary Tagawa provides the face and voice.
22:13-22:49

Cary Hiroyuki-Tagawa is the only actor worthy to portray Shang Tsung.
