How would Raiden, by himself, because he would not be able to attract any allies, be able to beat Fujin, the rest of the earthlings and also outworld warriors? 1) He would need to get such bs powers that it wouldn't feel pleasant to see him go down. 2) Or he would need to do some sorcery stuff to make revenants fight for him or something like that, because it's certain Sub-Zero, Scorpion and the others wouldn't want to invade Kotal's realm like that. 3) Or he would need to make bs promises to Tarkatans (who are weak without Baraka) or Shokan (but Sheeva didn't want conflicts, she joined Shang Tsung for Sindel, and Kitana for peace) in order to initiate a new civil war in the Outworld. Maybe I'm missing something but I can't see Raiden forming any alliance, and by himself I don't think he can keep up with two Realms combined... Everybody just wanted some peace after Shinnok was killed and if it were not for Kronika, Kotal would easily handle the Outworld. Seeing Evil Raiden v Liu Kang flashbacks in multiple different timelines and this cycle being broken felt way more epic than a main villain Raiden + we will get a much needed reboot for this timeline. As badass as Evil Raiden is, I couldn't imagine a 12 chapter long story happening because imo Raiden as a villain can only work if his allies blindly trust him, which is no longer the case since MK9, or if we start to see the story from the bad guys' perspective, and pulling that off would be really hard (the bad guys who are still alive don't have much charisma and it's just too ambitious to make us go against this man we know he's just being bad because of an amulet). A Thanos 2.0 is a much safer pick and still engaging.
Kronika is just really underrated overall. Her intention of bringing back her twisted definition of balance is far more interesting than any major villain so far. Shang Tsung (until Aftermath)?

Wasn't dark Raiden the red turned Raiden in the beginning because the duty of dark Raiden was to be brutal to the possible threats of earth realm, which red Raiden did

*Sindel:* Kitana murdered your shokan brethren. *Shokans:* Yeah, sure. The chick who uses fans to slice people decided to kill those guys by ripping their skin off, just like your classic fatality.
I feel like the dlc was mainly just Shang Tsung taking advantage of everyone else’s stupidity and then Liu Kang & Fujin taking advantage of Tsung underestimating them.
And so the developers could ship Sindel with Shao Kahn. Also, much like how Shang Tsung easily manipulates everyone, Sindel was able to convince the entire Shokan army that Kitana betrayed them with zero evidence other than her word.
@@ryanm.8720 probably because the Shokan were aware of how devoted Sheeva was to Sindel, so they took her word for it, at least thats what I think, it still doesnt really excuse how poorly written the entire Sindel segment is although watching Shao Kahn fuck everybody up was amazing
8:41 is how everybody feels about Raiden. You know that Dark Raiden wouldn't have consulted with the Elder Gods and just one shotted Kronica with the crown instead.
I'd give my left nut to see a parody of Raiden, but every time he goes off it's revealed that he has a crippling crack addiction and is basically just consulting with the "Elder Gods" as a cover.
I feel that way towards the writers-like do they not undertsand what a wise, experianced and competent protector is??? It’s not just Raiden, they did everyone in this timeline dirty, except for Fujin…
All I got from this is that Sheeva should've handled everything, she just punches everyone before they can do something stupid and wins everything. Perfect ending.
But why she still greet Sindel as a GOOD queen...yes QUEEN, but Sheeva call her EMPRESS, this mean she was her bodyguard even when SHE WAS WITH SHAO KAHN!!! And she never thought she was EVIL???? HOW???? She was even fine with the resurrection of Even Sindel!!!
@@Overlord81 Sheeva though that Sindel was brainwashed right until she rescued Shao Kahn under her own free will. In Sheeva's perspective, Sindel was a benevolent ruler right up until Shao Kahn invaded Edenia, so it wouldn't make sense if Sindel suddenly did a 180 and killed the husband she (seemingly) loved. Also, one intro reveals that Sheeva had always expected that Sindel didn't sacrifice herself (which she couldn't do if she was brainwashed), but was instead assassinated (if she always expected this, why didn't Sheeva tell this to Kitana or anyone else?).
@@medjaimcgraw5632that's just bs, Shao Kahn himself is already stronger than 90% of the cast and no the cages God killing powers are gone for good so this was no reason to bring back Sindel who was solely brought to be character assassinated for NRS to shit on the old classic characters and dumb them down and push their own characters like Dvorah or the whole Kombat kids who except Kung Jin and Takeda are insufferable, NRS has proven they would rather disrespect the old trilogy characters than give them good plotlines instead

Jade: “We are headed to the Sea of Blood. Would you like to come with me? ^^” Kotal: “Of course Jade. I will simply stay aboard if all goes as planned. I foresee a lovely trip for the two of us.” Shao Kahn: “So you have chosen... death.”
Shao Kahn: "I killed Jerod!" Dvorah: "Uhh no, this one killed Jerod..." Sindel: "Pretty sure I killed him." Seriously though we need a TV drama based on the premise of Who Killed King Jerod.
@@Lady0fThePies Yes and we really need the scene to be where Shao Kahn is about to be executed publicly and then one by one all the outworlders start standing up saying. "I killed King Jerod!"
Because they don’t care about the fans, if this series ever hopes to have a good story with something that respects the fans, NRS needs to move on with writers that care about MK, if not then they might as well declare chapter 11

"As for alternatives, my first thought was Onaga." Holy shit that would have been amazing to revive him as a plan to curbstomp Cetrion. But knowing the writers, they would have fucked it up by forgetting that Onaga isn't under the influence of The One Being and would have basically been a good guy ruler of Outworld who'd wanna kick Shao Kahn's ass after he bitchslaps Cetrion.

@@DillsyYourDaddy67 Crazy that He and the Og Mk Timeline Liu Kang are Like two Different Characters despite Being from Different Timelines . As a Ghost he was Distraught over His Zombiefied Body Actions that was Killing People and Also Aided his Friends in the Fight against the Dragon King.
I'm glad someone else agreed with me that Shao Kahn and Sindel knocking down and jizzing in the face of every corny, positive vibe in the story was the best part of UMK11.
I'm surprised that you never brought up the fact that even though Sindel confessed that she killed Jerrod for Shao Kahn in both her arcade ending and Aftermath, D'Vorah stated that *SHE* was the one who killed Jerrod in a battle intro with Kitana, long before Sindel was even available for DLC.
@@MSKS-jl2qk My best guess is that Sindel might have told Shao Kahn to take the blame for Jerrod's death so she wouldn't be seen as some sort of a traitor in the eyes of the (Edenian) people. Seeing as Shao Kahn is a conqueror, the lie is easy to believe.
Here's how I understand it: OG pre-Armageddon timeline (in which D'Vorah like TOTALLY EXISTED GUYS): Sindel is good and D'Vorah kills King Jerrod for Shao Kahn New 52/post-Armageddon timeline: Sindel is actually EEEEVIL!!1!! and she killed Jerrod but gets Clinton'd by Quan Chi for some reason (tf retcon)
I Love, Sheeva's participation in this story, she acts like an empowered queen, and I died of laughter when she hits Erron and repeatedly sends him flying, she acts and looks so Badass!
Liu Kang:"My plot armor gives me super strength." Shao Khan:"My DLC powers allows me to defy logic." *Breaks Liu Kang's legs* Shang Tsung:"DLC powers, you say?" *Steals Raiden, Fujin, Shao Khan, Sindel, and Kronika's souls*
Fire God Liu Kang: Raiden’s powers + Revenant Liu Kang Shang Tsung: Kronika’s Crown (Holds probably millions of souls) + Raiden + Fujin + Shao Khan + Sindel + Kronika (+ Cetrion) Shang Tsung loses. (Yes you can choose Shang Tsung’s ending and kill Liu Kang but I doubt but that’s not the canon ending)
MK Annihilation Shinnok was far more threatening than NRS Shinnok. The former was so powerful Shao Kahn was scared shitless of him and did everything he asked. The latter was such a wimp that Cassie, the person who beat him, got her clock cleaned by half the cast AND by Shao Kahn in MK11 Aftermath.
Ho-kay, I only partially agree, if it wasn't for the explanation that Johnny's (and by extension, Cassie) power is designed to be a kryptonote for Elder Gods, including Shinnok
Meanwhile in another timeline Shang Tsung : °About to put on the crown° Fujin : I'm starting to think Lui Kang is crazy . [Attacks Shang Tsung because he is doing it very slowly] Fujin : [Starts wearing the crown]
They could've made Sindel sympathetic and the bad guy at the same time. Olga from MGS2 sent all her soldiers, who she considered family, to die at the hands of Raiden and Snake. But it was to save her child who was kidnapped by the Patriots.
@@cafre289 Why not? Sindel could've still killed her husband, but done so to protect her daughter and people. And yes, I did take that quote from a different video. I plagiarize like crazy!
@@NoHandle44 But Olga didn't kill their soldiers, she always gave them a chance to protect themselves. An Olga character would find a way to protect both Jerrod and Kitana. Olga's actions are of bravery, while Sindel's, if we follow that possible character route, would be of cowardy.
That "long boring opinion" is the best part. Also yeah, Shao and Sindel are so poorly written that they make a great power couple. Wait. Shang ate Raiden and Fuijin? So Shang ate Raiden, Fuijin, Shao Kahn, Sindel and Kronika while wearing her crown, and FG Liu is more powerful than that? Power scaling? Why won't you wake up? Power scaling: *dead
To be fair, Shang Tsung just absorbed people who Fire God Liu Kang could beat on his own, and Shang Tsung at his normal strength compared to Liu Kang at normal strength is a pretty vast difference. Still funny to pick Tsung though, makes Kang look *_so_* dumb!
@@DoubleBoost23 the problem is shang tsung absorbed all these people and cetrion (who was absorbed by kronika ) + possessed the crown ( which can give to humans enough power to fight an elder god ) so yeah the power scaling is just terrible
@@dominiquemendy6307 exactly if Liu is that strong he should be able to get the crown himself since as he stated he doesn't need to be at the hourglass lol
@@shanenephilim2727 I know right? People acting here like these characters can't swim and drowned. Geras was pulled down by an anchor when he fell. Kung Lao and Jade were just thrown in.
Emil Georgiev Jade was actually thrown through the deck of the boat, so she wouldn’t have gone into the sea. More than likely she got knocked out and was being held captive like Kitana, Liu, Johnny, Cassie, and Sonya. Kung Lao just needed to swim so he was fine.
M Salahuddin Ayyubi it’s already explained by Raiden in story mode that gods like him exist outside of the timeline, which is why dark Raiden disappeared and old Raiden appeared. Pretty much it just set up that the gods aren’t affected by what happens to their past self
Honestly I agree that the ending is great, as well as the fact that everyone knew there'd be betrayal from Shang, so its a great feeling where they were like "He's gonna betray us... lets let him think he is."
I hate the ending so much, there was so many plot holes like: why did they need Shang tsung in the first place? Could’ve Liu kang just put them at the crown in the first place?!
Well they asked that in the beginning and Shang made the crown and said only he knew how to use it... ... ... BUT, then after Liu Kang beats him he uses it all on his own so THATS A LIE.
There’s always going to be plot holes in time travel stories, especially where time travel is the main focus. Also I thought the reason why Liu Kang didn’t just send them to the crown is because they couldn’t get there without the help of Sindel?
Remember when Johnny Cage was in a tank and DIDNT shoot down a jet that was aiming right at him even tho they stared at each other for 30 seconds? Yeah this game is stupid
Shame that the Soul Chamber while being able to revive the dead, heal the crippled and the blind, is unable to make Reptile, Ermac, and Ferra Torr playable.
I really do hate that I actually enjoyed Shao Kahn and Sindel's chapter. Was never a fan of Sindel but still shared sympathy for the fans that hated her reason and agree the change is stupid. But on the other hand seeing Shao Kahn kicking everyone's ass like he's suppose to do to anyone not a God or main central character like Lui Kang who is both now is very satisfying. Shang Tsung chapter too. Anyway totally agree with Fujin being in on the plan the whole time. It's the only thing that makes that scene with Lui Kang make sense. Also Lui Kang sacrificing his friends wasn't right or wrong. He's doing exactly what God's do. Play with mortals' lives to get what he wants. Gods are meant to be disconnected with mortals because they're immortal. They can't sympathize with personal loss since they can't really lose anything in their "infinite" power. This is why Fujin constantly hangs out with the mortals so he doesn't lose sight of that. Lui Kang hasn't been a God for long but it's already affected him and for once it's not trash writing. It makes sense and isn't complete bullshit. If this was an accident or not we'll see real soon whether Lui Kang has a direct hand in the events to come or sits back watches quietly and only intervenes when it best serves him.
Interesting interpretation of Fire God Liu Kang's character. It's not like you and I wouldn't be in over our heads if given the same kind of power. As for Shao Kahn and Sindel, some people have been asking for chapters in which we play as the bad guys, but they too hate that one of the character's backstory had to be completely butchered for that. Betraying allies for her own gain and the bigger D is Tanya's thing, not Sindel's. The worst thing is, after all the backlash, the writer smugly still thinks we like evil Sindel better! I hope that guy never gets a video game story gig again.

Maybe I'm missing something but I can't see Raiden forming any alliance, and by himself I don't think he can keep up with two Realms combined... Everybody just wanted some peace after Shinnok was killed and if it were not for Kronika, Kotal would easily handle the Outworld.

NOTICE ME SENPAI
I feel like the dlc was mainly just Shang Tsung taking advantage of everyone else’s stupidity and then Liu Kang & Fujin taking advantage of Tsung underestimating them.
And so the developers could ship Sindel with Shao Kahn. Also, much like how Shang Tsung easily manipulates everyone, Sindel was able to convince the entire Shokan army that Kitana betrayed them with zero evidence other than her word.
@@ryanm.8720 probably because the Shokan were aware of how devoted Sheeva was to Sindel, so they took her word for it, at least thats what I think, it still doesnt really excuse how poorly written the entire Sindel segment is although watching Shao Kahn fuck everybody up was amazing
@@bignerd5529
Nah, it's just that Shokan's are basically Warriors and most of them are f_ckin brain-dead.
8:41 is how everybody feels about Raiden. You know that Dark Raiden wouldn't have consulted with the Elder Gods and just one shotted Kronica with the crown instead.
I'd give my left nut to see a parody of Raiden, but every time he goes off it's revealed that he has a crippling crack addiction and is basically just consulting with the "Elder Gods" as a cover.
I feel that way towards the writers-like do they not undertsand what a wise, experianced and competent protector is??? It’s not just Raiden, they did everyone in this timeline dirty, except for Fujin…
We have had it with these mf *ELDERGODS*
All I got from this is that Sheeva should've handled everything, she just punches everyone before they can do something stupid and wins everything. Perfect ending.
Literally all I did was ⬇️⬆️ for her chapter lmao
not to mention how awesome it looks.
But why she still greet Sindel as a GOOD queen...yes QUEEN, but Sheeva call her EMPRESS, this mean she was her bodyguard even when SHE WAS WITH SHAO KAHN!!!
And she never thought she was EVIL???? HOW???? She was even fine with the resurrection of Even Sindel!!!
probably better than the druck we got for a expansion of the story in aftermath
@@Overlord81 Sheeva though that Sindel was brainwashed right until she rescued Shao Kahn under her own free will. In Sheeva's perspective, Sindel was a benevolent ruler right up until Shao Kahn invaded Edenia, so it wouldn't make sense if Sindel suddenly did a 180 and killed the husband she (seemingly) loved. Also, one intro reveals that Sheeva had always expected that Sindel didn't sacrifice herself (which she couldn't do if she was brainwashed), but was instead assassinated (if she always expected this, why didn't Sheeva tell this to Kitana or anyone else?).

I hate the ending so much, there was so many plot holes like: why did they need Shang tsung in the first place? Could’ve Liu kang just put them at the crown in the first place?!
Indeed. Liu Kang's Plan is idioitc in every conceivable way.
Well they asked that in the beginning and Shang made the crown and said only he knew how to use it...
...
... BUT, then after Liu Kang beats him he uses it all on his own so THATS A LIE.
There’s always going to be plot holes in time travel stories, especially where time travel is the main focus. Also I thought the reason why Liu Kang didn’t just send them to the crown is because they couldn’t get there without the help of Sindel?
All he had to do was put the crown on his head. It’s not like Shang Tsung made in a way where he had to put it up his arse to make it work
Remember when Johnny Cage was in a tank and DIDNT shoot down a jet that was aiming right at him even tho they stared at each other for 30 seconds? Yeah this game is stupid
Shame that the Soul Chamber while being able to revive the dead, heal the crippled and the blind, is unable to make Reptile, Ermac, and Ferra Torr playable.
Ferra Torr is not a house hold name he not a popular character at all
I like how Liu Kang learned from his mistakes and finally listened to "he must win".
Liu kang learned the tragic responsibility of being a god.hard choices
At least Young Johnny finally gets to tap that at the earliest opportunity.
I really do hate that I actually enjoyed Shao Kahn and Sindel's chapter. Was never a fan of Sindel but still shared sympathy for the fans that hated her reason and agree the change is stupid. But on the other hand seeing Shao Kahn kicking everyone's ass like he's suppose to do to anyone not a God or main central character like Lui Kang who is both now is very satisfying. Shang Tsung chapter too.
Anyway totally agree with Fujin being in on the plan the whole time. It's the only thing that makes that scene with Lui Kang make sense. Also Lui Kang sacrificing his friends wasn't right or wrong. He's doing exactly what God's do. Play with mortals' lives to get what he wants. Gods are meant to be disconnected with mortals because they're immortal. They can't sympathize with personal loss since they can't really lose anything in their "infinite" power. This is why Fujin constantly hangs out with the mortals so he doesn't lose sight of that. Lui Kang hasn't been a God for long but it's already affected him and for once it's not trash writing. It makes sense and isn't complete bullshit. If this was an accident or not we'll see real soon whether Lui Kang has a direct hand in the events to come or sits back watches quietly and only intervenes when it best serves him.
Interesting interpretation of Fire God Liu Kang's character. It's not like you and I wouldn't be in over our heads if given the same kind of power.
As for Shao Kahn and Sindel, some people have been asking for chapters in which we play as the bad guys, but they too hate that one of the character's backstory had to be completely butchered for that. Betraying allies for her own gain and the bigger D is Tanya's thing, not Sindel's. The worst thing is, after all the backlash, the writer smugly still thinks we like evil Sindel better! I hope that guy never gets a video game story gig again.
You Just fixed aftermath
Except it was wrong since there was a smarter way to do this.
Gods are Politicians
Wait people weren't sure Fujin was in on it. I thought it was one the more obvious tells...
Shang Tsung's smile looks so sinister yet so sincere, it's beautiful
