  • Mortal Kombat characters have different backgrounds, abilities, stories, etc. For that reason, many of them are curious about others: where they come from, what powers they control, how old they are, etc. In this video, you can watch all the questions characters ask each other.

    Baraka was a military leader and retired with honors and distinction. His name was known even within the Empress' palace. After retirement he become a successful merchant and business man. Despite his immaculate service the moment he contracted Tarkat the empress seized all his hard earned assets, striped him of his titles, and exiled him and his family to the wastes. He lost his family to the sickness instead of getting help from whom he served. Gotta say he had every reason to become dissent and rebel against the crown and didn't.

      I mean. The issue itself is the fact that Lui Kang only had 3 options:
      1.) let there be a race of tarkatan people and baraka becomes evil.
      2.) let it be a disease and let Baraka be a good guy.
      3.) not have him exist at all, but what variations would happen in the timeline if he doesn’t exist. He probably didn’t have a choice. We have seen that certain things are just destiny in their world.

    These intro dialogues were a great idea to include because it essentially helps, nay, forces them to make every fighter a character with values and ideas they can talk about and convey. Tanya's religious, Baraka is a vet and Reiko idolises military life because of Shao's influence. All of these traits would have felt forced or been impossible to include in the main story without writing long info-dumps but here, they feel almost if not always natural conversation pieces and topics these characters might talk about. Not even mentioning great post-story content like Shao's escape from prison, Johnny making MK movies or Ashrah and Syzoth dating. Awesome and simple.

    • @BrownHairL
      @BrownHairL Рік тому +5

      Well, in the "original" timeline we follow, Shao had been the protector of Outworld at some point. It's not known if he had relinquished his demi-godhood before serving Onaga. Also, he's seemingly nowhere as old as Raiden or Fujin, so presumably either the Elder Gods or the previous protector deemed him to be worthy of that responsibility, which means he was could've been one of the top warriors even prior to learning blood and soul sorcery.
      I also assume Shao was top dog BEFORE Onaga took over, because Onaga never chose to bear the title of Kahn, but instead of Emperor and King, so once Shao poisoned him and took the throne he may have simply reinstated the previous ways of ruling as he witnessed before Onaga's uprising, choosing the title of Kahn as the ruler of the main region of Outworld and of Emperor as he began conquering realms and kingdoms.
