Make a what if video,where MK11 focused more on Revenant liu kang learning Soul Magic,maybe make him into the new shang tsung type of character to rival Human liu kang?
Just stumbled upon your video here this morning and thought it was very nice I love discussing explaining and exploring fighting game lore so definitely going to drop you a sub and leave a like 💜
The deadly alliance video you did explored the story in so much dept that I've not seen anyone go through for it and it all made perfect sense and answered so many questions i had in my head. Subbed and absolutely love all the quality content
You should do a video on Shoalin Monks. Which the introduction of the Hour Glass all the spin-off games are possible to be canon due to timelines being introduced.
An idea for a future video could be to go through all the endings and name all the ones that ended up being cannon, nobodies done this yet and i would love to see this
You missed Mileena. She died in MK2 and was resurrected by Shinnok in MK3. Johnny Cage actually died four times. He died at the hands of Motaro and was resurrected by the realm merger. His life was snuffed out once the merger was stopped (I guess everyone who died whose souls were blocked had to die again). He was resurrected in MK4 by Raiden. He died for a third time in Deception, and a fourth time in Armageddon.
Mileena death at 2:53. Yeah I don't really count Cage dying again from when the merger was lifted. He was never really resurrected, his soul just retook his body. I guess you could count this as 4 deaths 🤷🏻♂️
@@MKTemple btw take a real look at the edenia stage, I may have stumbled onto something no else have thought of. What if in this timeline, edenia is the aggressor that conquered and merged outworld to it?
Kung lao actually had 5 deaths, 2 in the original timeline, killed by shao, killed by shang tsung in aftermath as his revenant and killed by either shao or sindel on the boat towards the gate as he was thrown into the sea of blood, to which is a guarranteed kill
0:53 Special Forces is canon lol,it was suppose to have taken place before MK1-3 in concept and characters like tremor,taisa and jerek appear in the main games
It's not though, because it conflicts with events that happened in MKII. Specifically Jax not having metal arms until after this and also Jax not knowing about Outworld or any other realms prior to MKII. Tobias initially wanted the game to be canon and wanted to have Sonya and Jax playable but he left during development so I am assuming they just shipped it out without lore checking anything. I don't consider this game canon.
Wait so I’ve always been curious about this, so like in aftermath when Shao Kahn threw Kung Lao overboard the ship he survived? Also when “Sindel” like used her hair to grab jade and throw her through the ship she also survived? 😭
Just wanted to point out that we don’t actually know if Onaga dies in Armageddon. Last we see of him, he’s flying off with Shao Kahn, who obviously managed to escape and return to the pyramid, but still, we don’t see him die.
I don't understand one thing, Sindel is killed by Quan Chi in MK9 but why after that Shao Khan kills Shang Tsung to make Sindel more powerfull? Sindel is resurrected how..? Sorry for the question
Sindel died many years before the events of MK9. Shao thought that Sindel killed herself when it was actually Quan Chi because he feared Sindel would become too powerful and be a threat to Shinnok and the Netherrealm. Shao Kahn basically transfers Shang Tsung's energy into Sindel, making her more powerful. She is resurrected from Quan Chi's sorcery since he is a necromancer and can resurrect the dead.
@@MKTemple there's a timeline contradiction as the comic has the out world civil war be ten years rather than five like the games, showing kotal as having naturally blue skin rather than it just being skin paint, scorpion calling his wife and son the wrong names, the comic constantly implying and visually showing the Scorpion identity is a separate entity from Hanzo. Scorpion having self resurrection powers that are absent in mk 11.
One of the only NRS retcons I like is how they made Sindel's suicide also a Blood Protection for Earthrealm .She not only killed herself for her hatred of her situation , but also to give the Earth homies more help .
Hi new to the channel, but I want to let you know that all character that died before armaragadon were resurrected in story so the deaths of motaro,Sheva, and Suo Hou are canonical
From 4thsnakes video the original idea for mk Armageddon was to bring every fighter back for one last bash before killing most of them of permanently for a big time skip with new figthers
Yeah, it would make sense and would explain why a lot of dead fighters returned, but unfortunately, there's no mention of these characters being resurrected in any of the games or MK lore (that I know of) which is why I left it out
I think you missed one, Goro's death before MK11, we don't know how he died but we know he's dead in the MK11 story with his corpse being seen on his throne during story mode. Also one of the intros between Skarlet and Kitana appears to indicate that Skarlet didn't die when Mileena destroyed her legs and was able to save her legs with blood magic, but this might not be canon as present Skarlet doesn't appear in the story. Also does Dark Raiden disappearing at the start of MK11 count as a death?
Good comment! So I left out the stuff from "the missing storyline" mainly because we didn't know exactly what happened but clearly Goro is dead lol so that can be counted. That puts Goro at 2 deaths (Armageddon and pre MK11) I always assumed Skarlet died, but I think she could have just as easily used blood magic to reformulate her legs (which if she survived means she has 0 deaths) I was on the fence about adding this Raiden death because he doesn't really "die" he just can't exist in 2 places at once. If this is a death though that would be Raiden's 2nd death after his MKDA/Deception one
It's considered Mortal Kombat 8 but is not canon to either timeline. It probably could exist in its own timeline but there are a ton of story beats that contradict both timelines so it kind of exists as its own thing.
It's not canon. It doesn't fit anywhere in the timeline and there are a lot of conflicting stories. For one they went with the "Shao Kahn and Raiden are brothers" storyline which is not canon. But since there are multiple timelines in MK, this could have been a possible alternate timeline
G-lookin' brotha: don't know how I could've missed my fellow Kytinn (even though I'm an Earthrealmer, I've got the "bug"-ha) receiving her proper etiquette; however I appreciate you following up-SUBSCRIBED!!! I'm so hoping this's only the beginning of D'Vorah's dominance & lure in MK: let the haters keep hatin'...
No she definitely did in the original timeline. She's a "good guy" in the original timeline when she's not bewitched and her story has direct connections to the greater story arc of MK4-Deception. Reconning this would put a huge plot hole in the MK4-MKD story. The "retcons" and story decisions that happen in the new timeline (mk9-mk11) do not affect or impact the story from the og timeline. Watch my video on timelines for more info on that.
@@MKTempleI don’t think that’s what they were referring to. I think he means that outside of Annihilation (non-canon movie) and Legacy (non-canon series) it was never stated once, even in the original timeline, how Sindel actually died. And that the suicide explanation is in no canon material.
@@MKTemple I mean we don't know the complete canon ending of Armageddon yet. Just because Khan defeated Blaze (which is also debatable) doesn't mean every fighter died
Let me know what video I should make next!
Make a what if video,where MK11 focused more on Revenant liu kang learning Soul Magic,maybe make him into the new shang tsung type of character to rival Human liu kang?
Or what if Dark raiden was the villian of mk11 instead of Kronika?
@@SupportGamin2024 The game we deserved!
@@SupportGamin2024 Would have been incredible
If you want a long one, rank the likelihood of every character returning for MK12.
11 dam months later finally mk temple has return IT HAS BEGUN!!!
11 months later he finally returns!!
Glad to see you're still here!
With the new timeline, they should really explore Onagas outworld reign
Just stumbled upon your video here this morning and thought it was very nice I love discussing explaining and exploring fighting game lore so definitely going to drop you a sub and leave a like 💜
Thanks so much, I appreciate it!
Mk2 baraka got killed by kung lao, his return in mk4/gold was due to shang tsung "stapling" him back together
I've heard this before but it was never confirmed by Midway/Netherrealm. Just a rumor
@@MKTemple more an implication.
Never have I ever clicked on a new RUclips video faster than this one!
Nice to have you back again!

Hey thanks man!
@@MKTemple no problem bro, binging all your videos from start to finish keep up the amazing work man ❤️
Damn, now you return brother? Better now than later, missed you 😂🙏☝️👍
You should do a video on Shoalin Monks. Which the introduction of the Hour Glass all the spin-off games are possible to be canon due to timelines being introduced.
4:03
Kano: hey spikey, *_ya wanna play wack a mole?_*
You missed revanant nightwolf getting his soul absorbed by shang tsung
You're right! I did. Good catch! That would put Nightwolf at 3 deaths (Armageddon, Sacrifice, soup stolen)
@@MKTemple Good to see you're back!Love the lore videos and I am looking forward to what comes next :)
@@MKTemple lol nightwolf really cant live without his soup
An idea for a future video could be to go through all the endings and name all the ones that ended up being cannon, nobodies done this yet and i would love to see this
I like it!
The one with most Deaths is Jerrod as he dies in ALL Time Lines and some times dies as Ermac too
😂
Like in a mk11 line shang tsung told kitana that he killed ermac in the mk11 krypt in the lower krypt krossroad that he stole jerrods soul
You missed Sheeva who, according to a survey sent by netherealm, was killed in her fight with Sindel
What a lackluster death lol
@@MKTemple I know, it sucks
You missed Mileena. She died in MK2 and was resurrected by Shinnok in MK3.
Johnny Cage actually died four times. He died at the hands of Motaro and was resurrected by the realm merger. His life was snuffed out once the merger was stopped (I guess everyone who died whose souls were blocked had to die again). He was resurrected in MK4 by Raiden.

Thank you!

You didn't count revenent nightwolf who got soul sucked by shang tsung
Someone else called this out too, I don't know how I missed this one but this puts Nightwolf at 3 deaths (Armageddon, MK9 sacrifice, soul sucked)
Mortal Kombat 1 Spoilers:
Scorpion has two reasons for no longer being in first place.
Great video!!
Wait so I’ve always been curious about this, so like in aftermath when Shao Kahn threw Kung Lao overboard the ship he survived? Also when “Sindel” like used her hair to grab jade and throw her through the ship she also survived? 😭
So I didn't include these as deaths mainly because there was no confirmation that they actually died, only speculation

I’m still counting it but Shinnok doesn’t die in the first timeline. He just sent out a decoy.
It’s now officially sindel
awesome
Welcome Back!!
Welcome back
When can we expect a MK1 (2023) video?
Jesus....poor Scorpion.....
What if the One Being is the main villain of MK Armageddon instead of Blaze?
You wouldn’t be able to fight the One Being. If he wakes up, the whole universe gets destroyed.
I don't understand one thing, Sindel is killed by Quan Chi in MK9 but why after that Shao Khan kills Shang Tsung to make Sindel more powerfull? Sindel is resurrected how..? Sorry for the question

She is resurrected from Quan Chi's sorcery since he is a necromancer and can resurrect the dead.
@@MKTemple thanks so muuuch 🥺❤
apparently the NKX comics isn’t canon anymore so the highest death count is Sindel alone.
Yeah I've heard that but I refuse to believe it because there are several things that happen in the comics that are referenced in both MKX and MK11
@@MKTemple there are also things in the comic that contradict the games.
Like what? Outside of the Ermac contradiction.
@@MKTemple there's a timeline contradiction as the comic has the out world civil war be ten years rather than five like the games, showing kotal as having naturally blue skin rather than it just being skin paint, scorpion calling his wife and son the wrong names, the comic constantly implying and visually showing the Scorpion identity is a separate entity from Hanzo.

Keep em coming!
Well, I guess we now know who won that last duel. 😁
One of the only NRS retcons I like is how they made Sindel's suicide also a Blood Protection for Earthrealm .She not only killed herself for her hatred of her situation , but also to give the Earth homies more help .
Are they really dead though? Seems every character that “dies” somehow always gets resurrected

Can you provide a source?
@@MKTemple I don't have the source but I heard from mk youtubers like 4thsnake that in amargadon, dead fighters were brought back.

Yes! Welkome bakk!
MK Versus DCU is cannon and is considered as Mortal Kombat8🎮
It's considered Mortal Kombat 8 but is not canon to either timeline. It probably could exist in its own timeline but there are a ton of story beats that contradict both timelines so it kind of exists as its own thing.
More to Kombat
Kung lao died twice in 11 aftermath
except that kornika said it herself that if the past versions die they're Revenant cease to exist. meaning that past kung lao is still alive.
Isn't MK/DC considered canon? Is been brought up in the character intros in MK11
It's not canon. It doesn't fit anywhere in the timeline and there are a lot of conflicting stories. For one they went with the "Shao Kahn and Raiden are brothers" storyline which is not canon.

He was not: mortalkombat.fandom.com/wiki/Johnny_Cage/Original_Timeline

Yep. I referenced them in the video. They're in the MKX section

Its a common mistake but sindel never canonically killed herself, that was started in annihilation and legacy, but its a great video still.
No she definitely did in the original timeline. She's a "good guy" in the original timeline when she's not bewitched and her story has direct connections to the greater story arc of MK4-Deception. Reconning this would put a huge plot hole in the MK4-MKD story.
