Mk9 writers: Kabal is an undercover detective who is feeding Special Forces Intel on Kano Mk11 writers: Kabal is Kanos' son who believes everything he says
MK9:kabal gets burned while working with stryker then gets his respirator,then unlocks his super powers MK11:He doesn't need his respirator, he's apart of the black dragon and already has his powers
He wasn't undercover and feeding Kano info. He had left the black dragon and became a cop out of remorse. That's why after he gets burned and Kano saves him with the respirator and gives him his hookswords back he dips.
She just knew that she did plenty already and that it was time to leave before she found herself on a situation where she chew more that she could swallow.
The saddest part about Mileena's character is that there have been hints of her genuinely wanting to have a sisterly relationship with Kitana initially. But Kitana constantly pushing her away and being utterly disgusted by her mere existence drove Mileena to grow her deep-seeded hatred and envy for Kitana, and caused her to become even more murderous and mad. It would have been interesting if Neatherrealm gave Mileena a type of "I didn't ask to be made" type mentality. Or maybe something similar to Arcane Jinx
Amethyst from SU is basically the same character: Conflict about being something "bad" and actually being bad... but who decided what's good and what's not? it's not Mileena's fault that she was made to be a monster, an abominable copy of someone else so she can replace them. Now she's really the monster that everybody calls her, but that's just because she kinda half accepted that role, nobody would belive in her anyway...
Because Kitana opposed her existence along with her tarkatan biology created a mad creature who had no true purpose of her own other than replace Kitana
@@pokemaster1725 mileena truly is a tragedy character. She didn't have a choice she was condemned to be an evil monster from the start. The minimum thing Kitana (or any other good character) can feel for her is pity
Everyone is literally talking to themselves about what's right and wrong while Kuai Liang's just so fed up with his brother and angry at the forced upbringing of the ninja cyborgs.
@@Your_Mom498Terrible take. And this wasn’t even about the characters, it was about how they are in the story. Both Kuai and Hanzo are pretty set and have their shit all locked down (besides a few things like Sektor but both their clans are restored) during the timeline before the reset happens.
"I sympathize more with Kirby final bosses" I mean One of them went insane over wanting his daughter back That's more of an emotional connection than Kronika's ever had lol
They literally have no reason to. Jade has her super powerful staff pointed at her fucking jugular and she just fucking leaves. Kotal really fucking doesn't have reason to let her go, if the intro dialogue of their potential affair isn't canon, she still fucking betray him and he's been shown to be quite merciless. So why doesn't he say "just kill her"
Maybe if they stopped worrying about making the story cool and censoring the game maybe they could come up with proper consistently. Ah what am I saying
Because it’s obvious I mean Mileena is fan favorite in a game of bringing back “dead” characters and people complained that Rain wasn’t in MKX as a character so the two will definitely be there
@@spider-man8186 Correct. Shang killed him with his mkx ending being canon that Shang confirmed in mk 11 but the whole timeline is rebooted again so everyone is dead or doesn't exist yet 😎
@@LordVader1094 lol yeah hope this timeline sticks haha, honestly everones doing that now in some degree but I kind of hope MK does a multiverse at some point with alternate Earthrealm's and alternate Outworld's maybe one where Raiden rules Earthrealm similar to Injustice's universe in DC where Superman's evil or perhaps Outworld, maybe they could do something wacky where Raiden rules Outworld and Shao Kahn is Earthrealm's protector lol that would be nuts.
Bi Han I think that’s how you spell it could take down Shinnok, Goro, Fujin in the original time line and now in the new one he loses to Jacquie frickin Briggs (also sorry if I spelled some of these names wrong 😄)
That’s just NRS writing for you. Noob is weak, Ermac is weak, Shao Kahn is weak, everyone that should be insanely strong is weak as hell. All this is basically due to the fact that Dominic Cianciolo doesn’t understand power levels, nor does he understand how to keep a narrative remotely cohesive, nor does he understand the rules of time travel, and yet they let him write 2 time travel stories. So yeah, as sad as it is, don’t expect characters to have accurate power levels until we get a completely new writer.
I really do love the whole coffin bit of nightwolf and fujin lifting it and then having to put it back down like 3 steps later. That was legitimately the funniest segment to me.
Yeah, we also need Shao Kahn (SK) w/ a Guide Dog (blinded, not killed lol). After all, Johnny Cage and the Joker's flesh will feed his dogs as stated in his intros with them!
I do like to think that Kronika was in fact just dangling fake rewards in front of everyone as a way of getting them to do what she wanted. Like Bi-Han says in his ending, she made lots of promises to everyone, there was realistically no way she could keep them all. She just wanted to get the end results as easily as possible.
@@osirisjojo6876 because that would require them to bring back Daegon, Mavado, and Hsu Hao, and knowing that they keep trying to bury the 3D era despite it being a massive chunk of the franchise’s history, no way they were gonna bring back those characters despite the fact that even though people hate Hsu Hao, even he’s better than Kronika
I mean. They mention Daegon and Hsu Hao more than a few times. So they’re not exactly “buried”. But even good characters just sometimes don’t get played. Most people are in agreement that Fujin is better than Raiden but he took 13 years to be playable again. I don’t think it’s exclusively a NRS problem with some characters not coming back.
I like to think that Shao Kahn, now fully aware that Kitana sees things his way, is just incredibly awkward. Like "My daughter has been against me and now she's with me. This is pretty goddamn awkward. Sektor! Help!"
Loved Shang Tsung in Aftermath. He's so smug, and that smile... that damned smile. I like to think that if he didn't have literally everything to gain in his sudden and inevitable betrayal at the end, he wouldn't have betrayed them - just to amuse himself, because they literally all expected him to betray them.
I just have one question: Where the f*ck is Stryker!? Ok I'll ask it: Where the f*ck is Stryker AND Smoke When I made this comment I surely didn't expect that would be so popular even though it was a stupid question
19:42 finally someone addressed how awkward this scene was LMAO like the characters just awkwardly stand there all like “uh who the fuck is this?” It’s hilarious
When Kitana asks Dvorah if she killed Jerrod, she says “I killed many people for Shao Khan” Note that she didn’t technically lie, she just answers vaguely in a way which implies she killed him. Probably because Sindel asked her to keep all that a secret.
I saw it similarly Basically it felt like she was saying i killed so many for khan that I don’t even know who they all were or there names” Kinda like how m bison in the street fighter movie says for me it was Tuesday or Thanos saying “I don’t even know who you are” kinda vibes
Spoiler Warning: The Revnants aren’t strong enough because Quan Chi fell off his horse. Edit: Holy shit, I didn't know this comment can get so many likes o.o
@Stefano Pavone How would they do that though? He made It clear in The post credit scene he Just wanted to protect earfthrealm to an extreme degree, genuinely curious
@@nicholassgobero Probably because the Elder Gods themselves are mere pawns, as we saw with both Cetrion and Shinnok, and how Kronika actually wrote their fate from the beginning. The Elder Gods literally didn't do nothing in the entire saga besides empowering Raiden to kill Shao Kahn in MK9. It will be interesting to see with the new MK1 trailer if Fire God Liu Kang will even hear them
*Raiden when he ‘kills’ shinnok* “Not even i can kill an elder god” *Liu kang when he becomes a god* Casually kills one of the most Powerful elder god of them all :/
Another thing, may I ask when the hell did sindel become so overpowered, in mk9 the only reason she won was because of shang tsungs power and yet she still lost to nightwolf, in aftermath all of a sudden you NEED sindel because she is so strong, SHE DIDN'T HAVE SHANGS POWER SO SHE SHOULD'VE A WEAK ASS ABUSIVE MOM
MK 11 did give us an explanation for every plot hole and continuity error in every Mortal Kombat game. "Wait... since when was Quan Chi at the first Mortal Kombat tournament?" "Kronika was screwing with time." "Oh... okay."
In aftermath, I choose to believe that Scorpion and Sub-Zero saw Shao and Sindel fucking things up, so they just decided "Nope, not fucking worth it. We've got our respective clans to raise. See y'all in the new fucking era"
I like that idea Just them maybe showing up in the Netherrealm, fighting for a bit, then seeing Shao and Sindel backing up Shang Tsung in killing Raiden and Fujin, and then just Sub Zero: Should we…? Scorpion: Dude all we’d be doing is getting our clans wiped out in the New Era Sub Zero: You right, wanna just go enjoy the last bit of time we have left with our clans before we get erased? Scorpion: Yep, it was fun while it lasted, see ya Sub Zero: See ya in the New Era
1:36:39 The head movement is so accurate and hilarious! Its the little touches like that that puts this into one of my all time favorite videos. I don't even know when I've seen D'vorah do this... maybe when KK gave the privilege of killing mileena to D'vorah in MKX. Idk but this whole thing has been a fun time.
I'm also a Mortal Kombat fan since the nineties and this video was hilarious but also very true! Mortal Kombat 11 have the dumbest story in all series!
My dads cousins been a fan and I invited him over for the movie and then we played each other and he beat my ass after twenty minutes. He’s now uninvited/j
That part where sheeva punches the shit out everyone during the sindel arc was so goddamn funny. I literally had to pause every time to laugh for a while
It's almost as NRS didn't care for the continuity or timeline and only brought old characters back for the roster and not the story. Or other borderline useless characters like the kollector and noob saibot This games story in a nutshell is *wasted potential* Now imma proceed to watch this glorious trash fire of half backed plots and story telling.
@@edgelord8337 no I mean that I found it funny. I thought it was on purpose, like poking fun at how much he sucks That he might as well be a sailboat 😅
How hilarious would it be if after Kronika lost she just says “desperate times call for desperate measures” and then Arnold comes out of absolutely nowhere and beat the dog piss outta Shang Shao and Sindel then OP Kang is just like “Well, shit”
Imagine that scenario where we get Kronika quickly sends out different DLC characters as sort of a homage to the Shang Tsung fight of MK1 where you have to fight different people during the boss fight
@@Skyrura Kronika has shown she already can put people out of time so she might be able to do it with other characters that can help her fight (it’s not really hard because she’s a liar and can lie to any one of them to work for her)
Kronika as a villain hinges upon the fact she manipulates people by promising them everything they want in a new timeline. Even if this is all a lie, it falls apart the moment any of her lackies realise everyone else they are working with. At best, they should need some convincing that it is possible for everyone to get what they want and at worst, they should all freak out the moment they see each other and turn on Kronika for obviously trying to cheat them.
I can’t believe I’m going to watch all this again. At this point I’ve spent more time watching folks like you and The4thSnake mock MK11 than I have playing the game! Wait, I never played MK11! Thanks to you guys lol
I always believed a character who has free access to time travel and time manipulation would be unstoppable... since any mistakes they make, they could just go back to when the mistake happened and undo/fix it... any moments of vulnerability would be negated and it would come off to the others that the time wizard is some sort of input-reading mind-reader. For a character that has reset the timeline countless times, she had all the time in the multiverse to perfect her abilities and be untouchable, even without her ability-enhancing crown... or she was too complacent having presumably "won" in countless timelines, she had no reason to think this one would be any different.
@@thenexus8384 sindel shouldn’t even be an option. What history and interaction does she even have with him or earthrealm character to justify her beating him? She’s basically another d’vorah if u pick her The only fights where she is valid is kitana, jade and sheeva

I love the way you summarize the stories and the funny edits you put in. It's what makes this series really enjoyable for me and also me wanting to learn about the mortal combat lore.
24:12 I just thought of something... if Sonya killed Past Kano, shouldn't that also fuck with Kabal too? Wouldn't that cancel out him being in black dragon. So thereby writing him out of the timeline if Kano was erased from time?
Actually, Shinnok's defeat was simply unlucky. Johnny Cage has power that's good for defeating godlike creatures, but that power doesn't really do anything big to anyone else. It's like a god silver bullet. So yeah, Shinnok wasn't defeated by pathetic humans, he was defeated by effectively the only thing that could defeat him- as humiliating as it may be.
@@synraheim17 johnny cage doesnt need plot armour hes johnny cage and i mean cmon its basically realistic green powered johnny bravo, johnny bravo=god therfore johnny cage=eldritch god
22:40 I always thought that it was breaking bones like he crushed his rib cage. I’d imagine suddenly having a rib cage that’s either broke or in the wrong spot’s gotta hurt.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention how the entire Tarkatan species somehow went extinct between the last game and this one. Oh, and why does pre-magic Kabal have super-speed now, when two games ago he was surprised by it? Or how the alteration to the timeline didn’t happen until years *after* Sindel killed herself and placed a ward against invading Earthrealm, none of which makes sense if she was actually evil.
It's likely that either Quan Chi lied about it to entice Shao Kahn into merging the realms, or the writers forgot about it. For further details........... I MUST CONSULT WITH THE ELDER GODS
Do we know that this is actually the MK9-MKX timeline? Or is it a timeline that came afterwards? They gave themselves an out with the revelation of Kronika doing this over and over again.
I never saw the original MK movies (i was alive back then, i guess they just didn't air them in my country), but I can fully agree that Hiroyuki Togawa as Shang Tsung is the best Shang Tsung. He is amazing in this game, my favorite character.
Why did Kronika even involve anyone in her evil plot? She Has Geras and Cetrion to do all her dirty work for her. She could have just bites the dusto without anyone even knowing she was gonna do it. Right???
I still think past Erron being the only sensible person on Kronika's paycheck is very hilarious. Just "we still need to discuss payment. This labor doesnt come che-" "stfu"
23:23 Kano: Reality includes time. Sonya: Time, huh? Thanks for the tip. Or better yet Kano: Once I kill him, I kill your little darling too. Funny how time-travel works. Sonya: Hey, I can do that too!
Even if Reptile, Ermac and Ferra/Torr are dead. when has that ever mattered before in Mortal Kombat almost every character in MK has been dead at some point.
2:20 I don't know why, but this edit is so funny to me. The fact that total basically lied to raiden a few seconds ago and the fact that it cut to mkx is funny.
1:09:26 you’re not sexist, you’re just not delusional. Women, without guns, working out a whole damn lot, or wielding another weapon, would get their asses whooped and I think it’s safe to assume shao Kahn could EASILY destroy Kitana using logic and using the games own story logic.
What about Shinnok? The whole reason Kronika devised her plan was to avenge him. Why didn't she reverse time to before he had his head cut off and save him? Or bring another version of him back. He isn't dead just headless. It always pissed me off whenever the revenants would bow to his head but he was still alive. Why not re attach his head? Lui Kang could do it since he learned all of Shang Tsungs magic.
@@lapplandkun9273 considering geras aslo says he can't be beaten several times in the game,I wouldn't take his word as absolute truth. I wouldn't say it's convuluted; just poorly written.
Kotal to Raiden : Our realms joined forces to take down Shinnok Also Kotal in MKX : Attempts to take the heads of the young special force team to tribute it to Shinnok but gets stopped by Sub Zero
So I actually have a whole list of questions regarding Mortal Kombat 11's story mode. For anyone who wants to read it, be warned, it's a long list. -If Sindel was always a psycho-bitch, why did she cast a spell to protect Earthrealm, a realm she didn't care about? (Someone commented a common theory that Shang actually brainwashed her upon revival, so her memories aren't reliable. Fair, but I doubt NRS thought of that.) -If Quan Chi killed Sindel because she was distracting Shao Kahn, why was he okay resurrecting her? I'm sure whatever Psycho-Sindel offered that distracted Shao would be offered by a brainwashed Sindel in droves. -Why would Quan Chi give a Tarkatan's ass about Shao Kahn's priorities? Isn't he working for Shinnok? -If Sindel was already lustfully loyal to Shao Kahn, why did she need to be brainwashed upon Resurrection? Does he just like mind control like I do? Come to think of it, if he really did love Sindel, WHY DID IT TAKE SO LONG FOR HIM TO DIG UP AND RESURRECT HER!? -Sheeva has been around Sindel for a millennium at least, and she didn't notice anything wrong her behavior? Either Sindel is the best liar in the universe, or Sheeva's the biggest idiot. -If Sindel's loins were burning for Shao Kahn this much, why did her Arcade Ending show her giving him brain damage? -If Kronika needed Shang Tsung to design a crown to properly use the Hourglass, what was she doing with it before he came into existence? Shang Tsung hasn't been around nearly as long as Kronika, was she just waiting for him to be born, staring at the Hourglass? She said she crafted his destiny, and I thought she needed the crown, or did she not, and it's just Liu Kang and Shang Tsung who need it? -If Ermac's MKX ending is the reason Shang Tsung is back, why isn't he young like he was in that ending? Did Kronika or someone else just take some of his souls and not bother to finish off the walking disaster magnet that is Shang Tsung? (Someone commented that she might have wounded him then banished him. Of course, they also said it was dumb of her not to kill him.) -Also, if Ermac really did die that way, why are his eyes and face-crack still glowing when he's impaled in the Krypt? Shouldn't the light in his face die out when he loses all his souls? -If the Kollector can snap his fingers and unlock doors with magic, why couldn't he do that in those moronically designed stocks Kotal had him in? -What the hell did Jerrod see in this new Sindel that made him want to marry her? -If Kronika can stop time, warp people into chains, and cast people into the void, why hasn't she done that to other threats, like Raiden? Is there a limit to her power in that regard, or is my gag-dub portrayal of her as a celestial retard more accurate than I thought?(I'm not really sure what retard scientifically refers to...I'm ashamed of how funny the word sounds...) -If the void protects people from time-warping, does that mean Kronika just stuffed a lot of different characters there over the timelines? Were they all crowded in there until she died, and Liu Kang just released like 50 Shao Kahn's into the beginning of time? -So Kronika's void captives are freed at the beginning of time when she died there, then the trio gets sent back in time, at the time they were trapped in in the void, so are Shang Tsung, Fujin, and Nightwolf just stuck sitting there and watching themselves f-ck around? Also, since Kronika gets eaten by Shang, then wiped from existence, what happened to the trio of this new, new timeline? Were they freed too? So after getting wiped from existence, Shang Tsung is right back a second later, and now knows not to buy into Liu Kang's scheming again. But even if Liu Kang had the foresight and power to go and wipe out that Shang too,Fujin and Nightwolf are running around this new timeline, at least for a while? Because Nightwolf ain't immortal. Or did Liu Kang wipe them out too? If so, WHY!? -Also, how were the big bad guy, the big good guy and Liu Kang's accomplace, and third one who could've been replaced with Smoke, Stryker, or good Sindel watching everything go down from the void? Were they scattered across the realms in particles, or was the void just full of magic screens showing these specific events? -Shang Tsung needed training from Bo' Rai Cho when he got Shao Kahn's soul in his MK9 ending, but here he can use the souls of Sindel, Raiden, Fujin, Shao Kahn(TWO SHAO KAHN'S PLUS JERROD IF YOU CONSIDER THAT MKX ENDING), and Kronika without any issues? -Also, what happened to those souls when Shang Tsung turned to sand? We don't see them get freed like that scene in the film. -Why is it that Kingdom Hearts 3's "Go back in time to save the day!" DLC was much harder to follow, yet was a more satisfying and wholesome experience than the Aftermath? -Where does the One Being fit into this? Shinnok wanted to bring him back, was Kronika fine with this? I don't think so. -If Kano can feel a kick to his gut from ages ago, why is it that every fight between a past and future character doesn't end with both coughing up blood? -So the undead, magically-revived Revenant Liu Kang can feel his past self getting the "I am Oscar Martinez" treatment from Shao, but Fire God Liu Kang can't? I get that he's a god and in the past...sorta. But as soon as he steps into the present to out-gambit Shang Tsung, he should be feeling the most excruciating knee-related injuries in history, unless Shang Tsung rewound time to a point before that, but we don't see how much he gets to affect time before Fire God Liu Kang shows up. (It has been commented that his godly status prevents him from feeling such effects.) -Tell me, NRS, if the entire story is just erased, what was the point of writing in emotional moments, character development, satisfying or depressing deaths, the fates worse than death you dished out especially hard in the Aftermath, or any moment in the story that was actually good? -Geras can teleport, right? That anchor-chain combo shouldn't be an issue. Come to think of it, neither should that forklift. -Can Kronika make more of Geras? If she can, why not make an army? Sounds like it would help her out a lot. -Did it occur to Kronika to actually try and be discreet about her rewind time trick? I'm sure the heroes would probably find her eventually, but a little stealth would go a long way. -If Kronika can turn into Guest Fighters in her final boss fight, does that mean that Spawn, Joker, Robocop, the Terminator, and Rambo really are just running around this time-crashed story? Where the hell are they!? Does Robocop know Sonya kill-stole Kano!? -Kronika has access to portals and teleportation, why does she need Cetrion to make a bridge across the Sea of Blood? Is there some forcefield around her fortress that keeps teleportation out? That would explain why the heroes don't try the portal trick they did in NetherRealm at the beginning of this story. -So Fujin let Shang Tsung f-ck over everyone because he was in on Liu Kang's "He Must Win" plan, but what's everyone else's excuse for dropping all their braincells when Shang heel-turns? -How is that NRS has enough attention to detail to put in a million references, get voice-acting from the MK movie cast, replicate Sylvester Stallone's face via computers without mocap, and perfectly emulate human anatomy...but can't be bothered to notice that Jax still has organic arms in Spawn's flaying fatality!? -Where the f-ck is Baraka in the Aftermath's final battle? I don't know if I saw any Tarkatans on those ships. Did Shang Tsung dumping that guy in acid break Baraka's trust in this alliance? If it did, why doesn't Kitana have a few more issues trusting Sheeva after all that? -Also, where are Scorpion and Sub-Zero during Aftermath's final battle!? You'd think Ed Boon's favorite character and the guy who's on the poster of this game(and the other one) would be somewhere in the final battle, but no, things go to hell and these two are off playing Spy Hunter or something. -This is something I read from TV Tropes, but why didn't Shang Tsung shapeshift into someone more trustworthy some the Aftermath trio can actually go places without everyone going berserk? Not everyone has a Tarkatan nose, you know. Come to think of it, why the hell does he insist on being the biggest, smuggest asshole on the face of the Earthrealm!? I know he's a prick and a sadist, but Shang is supposed to be smart, right? People aren't going to listen to someone who rubs the fact that he tortured you in his dungeon with a condescending tone!
@Cagle Turns out there were Tarkatans on the ship. Really devalues the main story proving they weren't evil when they ally up with Shao Kahn again, eh? Still doesn't explain Scorp and Sub's absence.
Watching Kronika Sucks again reminds me this is the second time Jennifer Hale has played a time wizard. She voiced Elisande in WoW who uses time magic too.
Yep, I had to question the Sindel retcon simply for the fact that the twist added a good few layers, as coupled with the mind control, it had me and Revolver Ocelot next to each other saying that was a "pretty good" amount of effort put into explaining why she cheated on her husband
Something has always bothered me about Aftermath and idk if it was ever brought up but, when either Sindel or Shao kill Kung Lao by throwing him into the sea of blood... shouldn't his revenant have started choking and throwing up blood from drowning? You know like how Liu Kang's legs shattered. Instead Rev Kung Lao is on the final room with the remaining revs waiting to get killed for basically the third time in this time line.
Kronika could’ve taken the crown before Fujin put it on. I was counting the seconds as he crawled to the crown wondering why Kronika isn’t even trying to get it
This must be the MK movie I heard would be coming out in 2021 Also, it was the KK video that introduced me to the Pillarmen theme which introduced me to JoJo

The saddest part about Mileena's character is that there have been hints of her genuinely wanting to have a sisterly relationship with Kitana initially. But Kitana constantly pushing her away and being utterly disgusted by her mere existence drove Mileena to grow her deep-seeded hatred and envy for Kitana, and caused her to become even more murderous and mad.

Amethyst from SU is basically the same character: Conflict about being something "bad" and actually being bad... but who decided what's good and what's not? it's not Mileena's fault that she was made to be a monster, an abominable copy of someone else so she can replace them. Now she's really the monster that everybody calls her, but that's just because she kinda half accepted that role, nobody would belive in her anyway...

The only reason kk lost was because he wasn't on his wheelchair

"They show up, say something evil, and get defeated."
I can't.
I can’t believe they let D’vorah get away like that i mean seriously.
SeRiOuSlY :D
They literally have no reason to. Jade has her super powerful staff pointed at her fucking jugular and she just fucking leaves. Kotal really fucking doesn't have reason to let her go, if the intro dialogue of their potential affair isn't canon, she still fucking betray him and he's been shown to be quite merciless. So why doesn't he say "just kill her"
Even if she’s escapes, then show or say it
The writing seriously went down over time since MK9.

“Later Ermac and I are going to the krypt”

@@MKF30 Oh man I sure do love rebooting the series every 3 games!
@@LordVader1094 lol yeah hope this timeline sticks haha, honestly everones doing that now in some degree but I kind of hope MK does a multiverse at some point with alternate Earthrealm's and alternate Outworld's maybe one where Raiden rules Earthrealm similar to Injustice's universe in DC where Superman's evil or perhaps Outworld, maybe they could do something wacky where Raiden rules Outworld and Shao Kahn is Earthrealm's protector lol that would be nuts.
It’s crazy how Noob Saibot was a badass in the original timeline and is now a jobber in the current timeline.
Bi Han I think that’s how you spell it could take down Shinnok, Goro, Fujin in the original time line and now in the new one he loses to Jacquie frickin Briggs (also sorry if I spelled some of these names wrong 😄)
That’s just NRS writing for you. Noob is weak, Ermac is weak, Shao Kahn is weak, everyone that should be insanely strong is weak as hell. All this is basically due to the fact that Dominic Cianciolo doesn’t understand power levels, nor does he understand how to keep a narrative remotely cohesive, nor does he understand the rules of time travel, and yet they let him write 2 time travel stories. So yeah, as sad as it is, don’t expect characters to have accurate power levels until we get a completely new writer.
I've said it in other places, but they seriously need to make an in-universe tier list for who would beat who in a fight.
Don't forget about Smoke.
That pisses me off
I really do love the whole coffin bit of nightwolf and fujin lifting it and then having to put it back down like 3 steps later. That was legitimately the funniest segment to me.
Hopefully in MK12 we’ll get KK in a wheelchair vs Kollector’s op wheel variation

I mean. They mention Daegon and Hsu Hao more than a few times. So they’re not exactly “buried”. But even good characters just sometimes don’t get played.

When Kitana asks Dvorah if she killed Jerrod, she says “I killed many people for Shao Khan”
Note that she didn’t technically lie, she just answers vaguely in a way which implies she killed him. Probably because Sindel asked her to keep all that a secret.
Yeah, it's basically a game of 'Who killed Jerrod'
A: Shao Kahn
B: Sindel
C: D'Vorah
Also, correct quote is 'This One killed him for Shao Kahn'

MK 11 did give us an explanation for every plot hole and continuity error in every Mortal Kombat game.
"Wait... since when was Quan Chi at the first Mortal Kombat tournament?"
"Kronika was screwing with time."
"Oh... okay."
The og Mk Timeline Raiden would have been Shocked to See Quan Chi in Mk1 Timeframe
1:29:08 This is literally what I thought Kronika's motivation was; "Raiden changed the timeline, so Raiden bad".
That’s what the game wants you to think before the big twist that she’s actually reset time countless of times because the realms stopped fighting.
In aftermath, I choose to believe that Scorpion and Sub-Zero saw Shao and Sindel fucking things up, so they just decided "Nope, not fucking worth it. We've got our respective clans to raise. See y'all in the new fucking era"
I like that idea
Just them maybe showing up in the Netherrealm, fighting for a bit, then seeing Shao and Sindel backing up Shang Tsung in killing Raiden and Fujin, and then just
Sub Zero: Should we…?
Scorpion: Dude all we’d be doing is getting our clans wiped out in the New Era

Kronika as a villain hinges upon the fact she manipulates people by promising them everything they want in a new timeline.

For a character that has reset the timeline countless times, she had all the time in the multiverse to perfect her abilities and be untouchable, even without her ability-enhancing crown... or she was too complacent having presumably "won" in countless timelines, she had no reason to think this one would be any different.

Ikr
So I actually have a whole list of questions regarding Mortal Kombat 11's story mode. For anyone who wants to read it, be warned, it's a long list.
-If Sindel was always a psycho-bitch, why did she cast a spell to protect Earthrealm, a realm she didn't care about? (Someone commented a common theory that Shang actually brainwashed her upon revival, so her memories aren't reliable. Fair, but I doubt NRS thought of that.)
-If Quan Chi killed Sindel because she was distracting Shao Kahn, why was he okay resurrecting her? I'm sure whatever Psycho-Sindel offered that distracted Shao would be offered by a brainwashed Sindel in droves.
-Why would Quan Chi give a Tarkatan's ass about Shao Kahn's priorities? Isn't he working for Shinnok?
-If Sindel was already lustfully loyal to Shao Kahn, why did she need to be brainwashed upon Resurrection? Does he just like mind control like I do? Come to think of it, if he really did love Sindel, WHY DID IT TAKE SO LONG FOR HIM TO DIG UP AND RESURRECT HER!?
-Sheeva has been around Sindel for a millennium at least, and she didn't notice anything wrong her behavior? Either Sindel is the best liar in the universe, or Sheeva's the biggest idiot.
-If Sindel's loins were burning for Shao Kahn this much, why did her Arcade Ending show her giving him brain damage?
-If Kronika needed Shang Tsung to design a crown to properly use the Hourglass, what was she doing with it before he came into existence? Shang Tsung hasn't been around nearly as long as Kronika, was she just waiting for him to be born, staring at the Hourglass? She said she crafted his destiny, and I thought she needed the crown, or did she not, and it's just Liu Kang and Shang Tsung who need it?
-If Ermac's MKX ending is the reason Shang Tsung is back, why isn't he young like he was in that ending? Did Kronika or someone else just take some of his souls and not bother to finish off the walking disaster magnet that is Shang Tsung? (Someone commented that she might have wounded him then banished him. Of course, they also said it was dumb of her not to kill him.)
-Also, if Ermac really did die that way, why are his eyes and face-crack still glowing when he's impaled in the Krypt? Shouldn't the light in his face die out when he loses all his souls?
-If the Kollector can snap his fingers and unlock doors with magic, why couldn't he do that in those moronically designed stocks Kotal had him in?
-What the hell did Jerrod see in this new Sindel that made him want to marry her?
-If Kronika can stop time, warp people into chains, and cast people into the void, why hasn't she done that to other threats, like Raiden? Is there a limit to her power in that regard, or is my gag-dub portrayal of her as a celestial retard more accurate than I thought?(I'm not really sure what retard scientifically refers to...I'm ashamed of how funny the word sounds...)
-If the void protects people from time-warping, does that mean Kronika just stuffed a lot of different characters there over the timelines? Were they all crowded in there until she died, and Liu Kang just released like 50 Shao Kahn's into the beginning of time?
-So Kronika's void captives are freed at the beginning of time when she died there, then the trio gets sent back in time, at the time they were trapped in in the void, so are Shang Tsung, Fujin, and Nightwolf just stuck sitting there and watching themselves f-ck around? Also, since Kronika gets eaten by Shang, then wiped from existence, what happened to the trio of this new, new timeline? Were they freed too? So after getting wiped from existence, Shang Tsung is right back a second later, and now knows not to buy into Liu Kang's scheming again. But even if Liu Kang had the foresight and power to go and wipe out that Shang too,Fujin and Nightwolf are running around this new timeline, at least for a while? Because Nightwolf ain't immortal. Or did Liu Kang wipe them out too? If so, WHY!?
-Also, how were the big bad guy, the big good guy and Liu Kang's accomplace, and third one who could've been replaced with Smoke, Stryker, or good Sindel watching everything go down from the void? Were they scattered across the realms in particles, or was the void just full of magic screens showing these specific events?
-Shang Tsung needed training from Bo' Rai Cho when he got Shao Kahn's soul in his MK9 ending, but here he can use the souls of Sindel, Raiden, Fujin, Shao Kahn(TWO SHAO KAHN'S PLUS JERROD IF YOU CONSIDER THAT MKX ENDING), and Kronika without any issues?
-Also, what happened to those souls when Shang Tsung turned to sand? We don't see them get freed like that scene in the film.
-Why is it that Kingdom Hearts 3's "Go back in time to save the day!" DLC was much harder to follow, yet was a more satisfying and wholesome experience than the Aftermath?
-Where does the One Being fit into this? Shinnok wanted to bring him back, was Kronika fine with this? I don't think so.
-If Kano can feel a kick to his gut from ages ago, why is it that every fight between a past and future character doesn't end with both coughing up blood?
-So the undead, magically-revived Revenant Liu Kang can feel his past self getting the "I am Oscar Martinez" treatment from Shao, but Fire God Liu Kang can't? I get that he's a god and in the past...sorta. But as soon as he steps into the present to out-gambit Shang Tsung, he should be feeling the most excruciating knee-related injuries in history, unless Shang Tsung rewound time to a point before that, but we don't see how much he gets to affect time before Fire God Liu Kang shows up. (It has been commented that his godly status prevents him from feeling such effects.)
-Tell me, NRS, if the entire story is just erased, what was the point of writing in emotional moments, character development, satisfying or depressing deaths, the fates worse than death you dished out especially hard in the Aftermath, or any moment in the story that was actually good?
-Geras can teleport, right? That anchor-chain combo shouldn't be an issue. Come to think of it, neither should that forklift.
-Can Kronika make more of Geras? If she can, why not make an army? Sounds like it would help her out a lot.
-Did it occur to Kronika to actually try and be discreet about her rewind time trick? I'm sure the heroes would probably find her eventually, but a little stealth would go a long way.
-If Kronika can turn into Guest Fighters in her final boss fight, does that mean that Spawn, Joker, Robocop, the Terminator, and Rambo really are just running around this time-crashed story? Where the hell are they!? Does Robocop know Sonya kill-stole Kano!?
-Kronika has access to portals and teleportation, why does she need Cetrion to make a bridge across the Sea of Blood? Is there some forcefield around her fortress that keeps teleportation out? That would explain why the heroes don't try the portal trick they did in NetherRealm at the beginning of this story.
-So Fujin let Shang Tsung f-ck over everyone because he was in on Liu Kang's "He Must Win" plan, but what's everyone else's excuse for dropping all their braincells when Shang heel-turns?
-How is that NRS has enough attention to detail to put in a million references, get voice-acting from the MK movie cast, replicate Sylvester Stallone's face via computers without mocap, and perfectly emulate human anatomy...but can't be bothered to notice that Jax still has organic arms in Spawn's flaying fatality!?
-Where the f-ck is Baraka in the Aftermath's final battle? I don't know if I saw any Tarkatans on those ships. Did Shang Tsung dumping that guy in acid break Baraka's trust in this alliance? If it did, why doesn't Kitana have a few more issues trusting Sheeva after all that?
-Also, where are Scorpion and Sub-Zero during Aftermath's final battle!? You'd think Ed Boon's favorite character and the guy who's on the poster of this game(and the other one) would be somewhere in the final battle, but no, things go to hell and these two are off playing Spy Hunter or something.
-This is something I read from TV Tropes, but why didn't Shang Tsung shapeshift into someone more trustworthy some the Aftermath trio can actually go places without everyone going berserk? Not everyone has a Tarkatan nose, you know. Come to think of it, why the hell does he insist on being the biggest, smuggest asshole on the face of the Earthrealm!? I know he's a prick and a sadist, but Shang is supposed to be smart, right? People aren't going to listen to someone who rubs the fact that he tortured you in his dungeon with a condescending tone!
Spy Hunter reference, nice
@Cagle Turns out there were Tarkatans on the ship. Really devalues the main story proving they weren't evil when they ally up with Shao Kahn again, eh? Still doesn't explain Scorp and Sub's absence.
@Cagle Ah
raiden is immune to the hourglass (that is why fire god liu kang can move) and kronika needs the crown to reset the timeline
well actually he's just immune to some extent
Remember guys
*Don't make fun of the disabled people*
But you can diss able people
But bringing up Kung Jin's sexual preference as an insult is fair game?
@@ryanm.8720 is Kung Jin able?
@@rocklettf2die664 MKX's story proved that he's an idiot, but aside from that, he doesn't have a disability.
@@ryanm.8720 if their able they fair game
Watching Kronika Sucks again reminds me this is the second time Jennifer Hale has played a time wizard. She voiced Elisande in WoW who uses time magic too.
Yep, I had to question the Sindel retcon simply for the fact that the twist added a good few layers, as coupled with the mind control, it had me and Revolver Ocelot next to each other saying that was a "pretty good" amount of effort put into explaining why she cheated on her husband
The best part has to be the "Shao Kahn survives".
Ladies and gentlemen: the final boss. We simply won't let him die properly.
12:45
Shao Kahn doesn’t like that meme apparently
Something has always bothered me about Aftermath and idk if it was ever brought up but, when either Sindel or Shao kill Kung Lao by throwing him into the sea of blood... shouldn't his revenant have started choking and throwing up blood from drowning? You know like how Liu Kang's legs shattered. Instead Rev Kung Lao is on the final room with the remaining revs waiting to get killed for basically the third time in this time line.
The theory that I heard was that Kung Lao isn't dead. He just swam away XD
This man is speaking all of the truth in this compilation, I honestly agree with every word this person says
the MCU wishwes it was as good and intricately done as this
Truth
Facts
Kronika could’ve taken the crown before Fujin put it on. I was counting the seconds as he crawled to the crown wondering why Kronika isn’t even trying to get it
This must be the MK movie I heard would be coming out in 2021
Also, it was the KK video that introduced me to the Pillarmen theme which introduced me to JoJo
Might that be a jojo reference?
