In a world where getting stabbed in the head or having your ribcage broken means you can still fight like if nothing has happened. Then comes Nitara and gets knocked out cold by a single kick to the face lol.
I commented this a few episodes ago but Shang Tsung really does sound like he’s about to tell me “that I clearly don’t own an air fryer” with every line he says
I absolutely love how hilariously diva Shang Tsung is. As soon as he knows there are other timelines, hes like "Welp, now I dont feel like merging it. F your couch, Lu, Im gonna destroy yours and pick a better one"
I find it funny how all the characters just casually stand there and talk about stopping Shang Tsung from destroying Liu's timeline, while Shang Tsung is doing exactly that and no one tries to stop him, until the very end.
@@aznthy 6:40 Shang Tsung starts destroying the timeline. 8:28 Liu Kang talks about stopping Shang Tsung from destroying the timeline. 10:36 Geras talks about stopping Shang Tsung from destroying the timeline. 12:59 The Gang finally starts trying to stop Shang Tsung from destroying the timeline. Seems like he knew exactly what he was talking about to me.
I like the idea that every single MK11 Tower ending is canon, but I wish all the Titan character had the glowing eye effect to show their godhood like liu Kang and Raiden
Isn't the reason why Liu Kang specifically has it, though, because he fused with Raiden? So he became an Elder God before he became a Titan. Everybody else just became a Titan.
@@JBgoldenit could be, but I’ve always just seen the glowing eyes as “god like power”. Fujin had the same eyes, and Kronika while different still had glowing eyes
@@JBgoldenI think the better solution is to give them a signature costume like it was shown in MK11 when the characters reach the powers of the hourglass. They kinda had that here, at least with Kitana. But the design is bland and hard to notice.
@@BrendonStMarie Raiden, Fujin and Liu Kang were all demi-gods, whilst Cetrion and Shinnok were children of the titan Kronika and (fallen) elder gods. As JBgolden said, Liu Kang inherited the same sort of eye glow that Raiden had after they fused, whilst Fujin was the demi-god of wind. None of the other characters in MK11 had become demi-gods nor did they fuse with Raiden in their respective towers, so they (technically) retained their regular appearances, mostly just receiving a wardrobe change.
After what happened with Kitana on MK9, it was so nice to see this timeline's Liu Kang be with Kitana even if she's from another one. It's closure in a sense.
Technically they're from the same timeline, they just made new ones after they took Kronika down in their battles and they along with all the other characters manage their own timeline
Yeah, the Titan Kitana is supposed to be the same Kitana that died in MK9, and got turned revenant but then all the Arcade endings in MK11 were made canon... ye it's weird
@@derpknightfully well there's two mk9 kitanas, 1 was pulled out of that time period before her death to be in mk11's while the kitana that did die in mk9 is still a revenant seen in the game
It just hit me that this is the first Mortal Kombat we’ve had without Richard Epcar. The guy was voicing Raiden since MK versus DC. I had kind of excepted him as the definitive Raiden.
I liked the story but I personally think once we fully dove into the dual/multi timeline aspect of the story, it took away from the intrigue of the new versions of the characters we've known for so long. The story went from the new interpretation of the characters in MK1 to "what matters are the MK 11 characters who just so happen to look like the MK1 characters". I will say that the coolest part of the story (SPOILERS!!!!!!!!).... is that it makes MK Armageddon "Kreate a Karacter" side mode somewhat "kanon" due to the multiverse versions of characters.
Well, in the end they were really building up to the multiverse once it became clear an outside force was causing the conflict in the new eera. But if there's a silver lining to this and the final chapter, is the fact the characters and plotlines of the new era are left untouched, and in fact are still open to be followed up in a sequel, other than Gears and Liu Kang, every ladder ending focuses on the events of each character's story.
Still far better than what FF7 Remake does which is basically tossing the original FF7 in the garbage in favor of a Tetsuya Nomura approved _"all new story"_ that is just gonna be focused on Cloud VS Sephiroth like even Square wants it to be.
@@Mujoman101 Actually it is very comparable, namely with pointing out FF7 Remake's *failure* in respecting the legacy of the original.

Even going as far as referencing the PS2 era games, updating some of the more goofy Fatalities through the Kameos, bringing back more PS2 era fan favorites, bringing back former punching back Reiko as a legit character, even this whole notion that all the what ifs of MK11 are canon. For all the changes it made with this new timeline, it does not seek to throw away the past and pretend it never existed. Whereas FF7 Remake is just one big proverbial fuck you to the original game that both Square and Nomura despise, gladly sweeping it under the rug whilst still milking the brand for nostalgia points. By the end, the so called "freedom" that was spoken of is solely for Nomura to make this all just the "Cloud VS Sephiroth" story that everyone thinks the original was, spitting directly in the face of Hironobu Sakaguchi and the rest of the original's team who envisioned this story of loss and grief. So food for thought, which one does the whole _"timeline reboot multiverse bullshit"_ trope better? The game that cares about its legacy or the one that hates its past to the point of deliberately replacing it?
This is honestly my favorite ending in all of MK! Not only is it a a genuinely happy ending for once, it’s also a way to do a multiverse in a natural and exciting way. It makes every character ending in MK11 canon! I would love them react to see all the character endings in chronological order because they are also canon and fill in the gaps in the story mode, like what really happened to Jerrod, and it sets up either the sequel or future DLC.
I like how this game addresses the idea that you can beat Arcade mode with a character and get a unique ending, and then uses that as the basis for any alternative timeline. 👀
I am so confused as to why they didn't just fight Shang Tsung directly when he was shooting at the hourglass... Liu Kang said "we must stop them" and then runs in the other direction. Even when Shang was outnumbered they didn't attack him. Just walk over and kick him in the shins! Or throw a pebble in his eye! ANYTHING!
Gameplay content obligation. People paid 70 dollars for this game we gotta make it worth as many pennies as we can less we wind up the next Street Fighter 5...
@@julianlocileno2968 You are Correct! That's why I appreciate The Line. That Movie was Pretty Sick. Although, Shang Tsung Fans might be Disappointed. 😶😶😶
I did find it weird that the ending of MK11 where you 2-0 Kronika wasn't what Aftermath went with, but seeing Kitana show up as a titan in some form is nice at least.
everything was so good about this story and then the last chapter happens and its like: Shang is defeated, the end. Little to no dialogue in that chapter also, felt rushed and incomplete
Saying what i was saying the entire part of the chapter “Someone please just bloody hit shang! He isnt even defending himself! You can end it know! Stab him! Knock him out something jesus!
I kinda low key think it’s neat that the Aftermath endings are both canon, and basically any MK11 tower ending is too based on the logic presented here (well ok probably not the guest characters, we don’t talk about those timelines)
So I guess Titans are just grunt mooks now? Liu Kang calls a bunch of alternate Titan version of MK characters and they just casually trade hands with ordinary versions of those same characters. Is there any bigger joke in MK than godhood? EDIT: There is - Kotal Kahn
I'd like to think *not all* of the characters brought in were titans- I mean, there were multiple duplicates of the same characters throughout. They likely just got the titans to amass an army, like Shang Tsung did.
@@trishademilion5133 Didn't Shang Tsung literally say that Liu Kang just gathered a bunch of titans? At the very least he had three amongst them: Liu Kang, Kitana and Old Raiden. Geras isn't a Titan, but he's an immortal artificial construct that's proven to be a massive problem all on its own. Given the implications of MK11, it shouldn't be possible for a non-Titan to stand against a Titan. Titans are supposed to be more powerful than the Elder Gods. I'm sorry, but the power scaling and the story in this story mode is even more stupid than the usual goofy MK story modes. You have to squint really hard for a single thing to make a lick of sense
@@dahakaguardianofthetimelin4780 Yea and we're supposed to believe that nitara and li mei are able to beat kronica too since the final act is implied to ALL be titans at the character select part, but im assuming the variants are the grunt nontitans since there's so many repeats, but it's so convoluted it could be either way
13:36 given that I’ve just started playing Fights in Tight Spaces’ DLC-which introduces a bunch of gun-fu gameplay and puts more emphasis on the game’s existing gunplay-the timing of this outta-nowhere “USE GUNS!” quip, in a universe that is mostly removing the gun-fu from itself in this reboot, was certainly precise
for a game that prides itself on grisly death they sure did let the alternate timeline evil team just limp away without interference while MK11 Shao does the "NEXT TIME, GADGET" speech with no opposition whatsoever
After this game, I could go at least 3-5 years without a Game or Movie having anything to do with Time Travel, Alternate Dimensions, Alternate Timelines, Multiple Realities, Alternate Realities, And Doppelgangers. Etc. They're all over used tropes and used as nothing but scapegoats just as an excuse to bring characters back and have an ongoing Story and Canon.
What amuses me most rn is that even though Titan Shang Tsung had duped his own counterpart of this timeline, it was the latter Shang Tsung that gave Liu Kang the idea of other TLs before his Titan was made aware of that.
Havik, Takeda, Smoke, Geras, Tanya, Kenshi with Sento, there is a list of characters available for a dlc story *Mythologies: Special Forces* 😊 I'm very excited
_"This is gonna end in a To Be Continued isn't it?"_ Hell no this ain't FF7 Remake! This ain't Across the Spiderverse Part 1! This is Mortal Kombat 1 baby, here we actually *FINISH* our multiverse bullshit story! Buckle up buttercups we got one more chapter and it's about to get WILD!
It was almost unbearable watching them repeatedly talk about needing to stop Shang Tsung and then just... not doing it. There's only so far suspension of disbelief can hold a plot, guys.
Liu Kang being a God at First I was Mixed in MK11 and Aftermath, in MK1 he heard the title of God of Fire, Protector of Earthrealm, and Keeper of Time, Liu Kang was perfected in this Game and redeemed his Character from Death, Love that he reunites with his Kitana even though it’s unclear if it’s Temporarily, it’s strange to see Old Raiden when I’m used to his Younger Counterpart, I Miss Tanya as a Traitorous Deceiver, and Geras being a Force of Good is a Great Fresh of Air especially being played by a different Actor Phil LaMarr which explains why he looks Familiar.
As much as I dont like the last 1/3 of this game, that scene between Liu Kang and Kitana is actually amazing. The music, the dialogue, the underlying emotion of want and pain in their voices. Best single scene in this game.
Dont you just love when you can make one nights worth of gaming into 15 different videos? Lol respect, When life lets you, always work smarter instead of harder
Shang Tsung is right there, guys! Just kick him or blast him with magic or something. MK Heroes: "Let's repair the hourglass while he is trying to break it and avoid the more obvious solution."
I don’t really think it’s a big deal that they didn’t use the MK11 models because it’s like complaining that MK10 story mode didn’t use MK9 models and so on (plus logistically you’d have to re-sign likeness rights for face models), and Raiden is kind of a special case BUT I do kinda wish they had re-used some MK11 costumes or a recognizable variation on them to sell the reveal. Of course I just really liked Kitana’s design in 11 so maybe I’m biased.
@@infernohellknight Yes, Titans are greater than demi gods. All I'm saying is that it seems like the developers made the glowing pupils a Elder God/Demi God aesthetic.
If their fight for the hourglass in MK11 created a bunch of different timelines, wouldn't this fight also create a bunch of new timelines for different outcomes? A Timelineception?
Genuinely not sure how this Kitana could be *his* Katana. By virtue of Liu Kang beating Kronika, she has to come from a timeline where she won, meaning she’s a variant of his Liu. Unless she’s just saying that’s a Liu from Kronika’s keep, so that’s close enough for her? In which case, wouldn’t there only be able to be enough timelines for every person who could have theoretically beaten Kronika? There shouldn’t be multiple Titan Lius, right?
Multiverse shenanigans in stories are fun like that Getting them to fit together neatly and satisfying is tricky. MK basically states that there was only one timeline, under the stewardship of Kronika, that remained constant until the battle at the end of MK11, which is the point where it forked for every ending of that game. Like the trunk of a tree being a single thick line until it reaches the roots and suddenly spiders everywhere. All the non-Kronika titans were the members of that original timeline who each got splintered down their own path as a result of the battle.
Gonna be real, I was really hoping the twist and final boss would be shinok or however you spell his name, it would complete the mkx cycle in my opinion, and I loved shinok as a bad guy, severely underrated character. Hope he's DLC with Kotal,
There's gotta be some kind of super secret stuff in the game, excluding future expansion/content. With this amount of throwbacks, I refuse to believe they haven't added some kind of super secret character or boss, meat, blaze, a new color ninja, SOMETHING. We have cyber smoke with chest harpoon in the last chapter, what else is there?
I still love to think that Nitara just sits in the background with a mouth full of sand after biting Geras.
Geras be like when bitten: "my blood is as drinkable as cat litter, miss..."
when I buy powdered milk
When you think about it, Geras could save Nitaras realm because he can't truly die.
That's gotta be drawn as a meme at some point
In a world where getting stabbed in the head or having your ribcage broken means you can still fight like if nothing has happened.
Then comes Nitara and gets knocked out cold by a single kick to the face lol.
I commented this a few episodes ago but Shang Tsung really does sound like he’s about to tell me “that I clearly don’t own an air fryer” with every line he says
With Titan Shang Tsung, you can tell his evil timeline has the BEST air fryers.

Havik is the main threat somehow lol end credits. Max gonna love chapter 15! With all the double power mix combination fighters
Dont you just love when you can make one nights worth of gaming into 15 different videos? Lol respect, When life lets you, always work smarter instead of harder
Are we just going to ignore that Kang's first act as keeper of time was to warp his girlfriend into his timeline? lol
The final act was poorly placed, this should have been saved for the end of the trilogy
Shang Tsung is right there, guys! Just kick him or blast him with magic or something.
MK Heroes: "Let's repair the hourglass while he is trying to break it and avoid the more obvious solution."
Uploaded 21 seconds ago, how did I see this video so soon without notifications
Have a great weekend ppl!!!
Watch this end with Time Keeper Shang Tsung retreating and deciding to invade the Injustice universe, setting up MK vs. DC Universe 2
Shredder Reptile is something i don't know i need until i gained.
I just noticed that the evil Baraka has hair!
(I'm assuming it's not just a part of the helmet - that would be super weird.)
I want to see the timeline where Kano is the creator of everything! It is the most Australian timeline ever!
"I SAWED THIS TIMELINE IN HALF!"
I'm surprised neither of caught that MK11 Arcade endings are canon
I don’t really think it’s a big deal that they didn’t use the MK11 models because it’s like complaining that MK10 story mode didn’t use MK9 models and so on (plus logistically you’d have to re-sign likeness rights for face models), and Raiden is kind of a special case BUT I do kinda wish they had re-used some MK11 costumes or a recognizable variation on them to sell the reveal.
Of course I just really liked Kitana’s design in 11 so maybe I’m biased.
OMG THEY REFERENCED SNOW BLIND!!! LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
"In others it could be Jade, Sindel, or even *Kano"*
So technically, EVERY ending in MK 11 is Canon now?
2:23 - "But I thought you were gonna li--"
So now both the story mode endings and all the arcade endings of the last game are canon.
What a missed opportunity to not kombine Baraka with our former president and kreate Baraka Obama 😂

Liu Kang said Brothers with the hard 'r'.
Why don't Titan Kitana, Titan Kung Lao, and Titan Shang Tsung have glowing eyes like Liu Kang and Raiden?
My guess is that it's because they weren't demi-gods before becoming titans.
@@piercingmoon24 That doesn't make sense, a Titan is greater than a demigod.
@@infernohellknight Yes, Titans are greater than demi gods. All I'm saying is that it seems like the developers made the glowing pupils a Elder God/Demi God aesthetic.
Basically Mortal Kombat in the Multiverse of Madness: Endgame
the end? no, IT HAS BEGUN
The cutscenes in these big fights are so awkward lmao
All the extras just sitting around twiddling their thumbs as the universe is being destroyed
That version of Liu Kang comes from a timeline where human Liu Kang wins.
If their fight for the hourglass in MK11 created a bunch of different timelines, wouldn't this fight also create a bunch of new timelines for different outcomes? A Timelineception?
Might as well do a full on mocap movie, or series.
Genuinely not sure how this Kitana could be *his* Katana. By virtue of Liu Kang beating Kronika, she has to come from a timeline where she won, meaning she’s a variant of his Liu.
Unless she’s just saying that’s a Liu from Kronika’s keep, so that’s close enough for her? In which case, wouldn’t there only be able to be enough timelines for every person who could have theoretically beaten Kronika? There shouldn’t be multiple Titan Lius, right?
Multiverse shenanigans in stories are fun like that Getting them to fit together neatly and satisfying is tricky.
MK basically states that there was only one timeline, under the stewardship of Kronika, that remained constant until the battle at the end of MK11, which is the point where it forked for every ending of that game. Like the trunk of a tree being a single thick line until it reaches the roots and suddenly spiders everywhere.
All the non-Kronika titans were the members of that original timeline who each got splintered down their own path as a result of the battle.

I firmly believe that Andrew Bowen should play Johnny in the next MK movie lol
Gonna be real, I was really hoping the twist and final boss would be shinok or however you spell his name, it would complete the mkx cycle in my opinion, and I loved shinok as a bad guy, severely underrated character. Hope he's DLC with Kotal,
There's gotta be some kind of super secret stuff in the game, excluding future expansion/content. With this amount of throwbacks, I refuse to believe they haven't added some kind of super secret character or boss, meat, blaze, a new color ninja, SOMETHING. We have cyber smoke with chest harpoon in the last chapter, what else is there?
