Exactly I like the old mortal kombat more these multiversal stuff just doesn’t work for me and thank god I didn’t have to buy this short ass story expansion it would be a waste of money
They didn't even give us one game to get invested in a new timeline before going all in on the multiverse and adding in a dlc that just makes it worse.
@@sevagapkarian4699 Now practically everyone is a Titan. Like it is a usual thing, a simple thing, and so easy to be one of them. They even forgot about the original characters! Well, the tournament thing ends in MK3 but I like the events after it. Till the Armageddon. They could have made a remake. The same story but in a good graphic. Just like in MK9. Except I would like Smoke to stay human. To reveal him as a human was a good idea! (But making Sub-Zero a cyborg instead was a bad one!)
Mk1 is a game of contradictions another one rain got crushed by walls yet he can turn into water and leak through it I don't know why the writers didn't consider this
@@danielwells1734And on top of that THAT WAS NOT some random Rain that was an Emperor Rain so he is definitely stronger and more skilled with water magic then Liu Kang's Rain Escaping from that situation would be easy for Liu Kang's Rain and this one was stronger for sure
Yes , he killed Shang tsung and the timeline collapsed albeit there was almost no one in his timeline by the end on mk1 . If he killed havik the timeline would collapse. I think haviks timeline is now khaos realm?????
I can see some logic in that. Shang Tsung clearly stated that he crafted his entire time-line to follow his will, meanwhile Havik's time-line had more "freedom". Also in the main story ending, Liu Kang seems a little surprised when Shang Tsung's time-line started to break, maybe he didn't know then that killing the titan would end the time-line
The Lin Kuei in this timrlon3 are laughably pathetic, they have failed to gain notable WIns that advance them at every turn. Netherealm is just making new conflicts with no twists everytime an antagonist is encountered they are defeated its absolutely pathetic.
I will remember that : - Bi Han will never learn his lesson - No one respects Mileena's decisions as empress - Colonel Cage is just the comic relief - Sektor is meatriding Bi Han too much -
You shouldnt forget how inconsistent the entire NRS series has been MK9 was basically a retelling of the original trilogy made great atleast, after MKX everything went so downhill
@@smilingearth5181 It was literally 30-45 minutes of nothing but Tanya soloing the entire chaos realm dungeon and the DEI-ified Sektor and Cyrax and her husband supporting her. And somehow she magically became able to telepathically talk to dragons, because why not? It was DEI dogwater. And you know it was , because you're gaslighting.
@@RUclipsDweller8008 The writing is absolute dogshit. You're an idiot for calling it DEI because DEI isn't a catch-all pejorative for bad writing and plotting. Both can be true and you can argue with your mom about it if I hit a nerve with you.
50$ for this dogshit, and your defending point about this game is "at least we hear harumi speak?" MK fans really needs higher standard. Paying 50$ and they smile in joy because they fckin hear harumi's voice for the first time? Piss off
@@simonuzcategui7479what stings in that the first trailer of MK1 made it seem like this was the new era which was gonna take us back to the roots and give us a smaller scale but more focused story, but nah lets just do multiverse Armageddon in the first game of the "new era". Armageddon was wasted on that lil 15 mins at the end of MK1. Its has me rolling my eyes now
I would like this timeline to continue without multiverse stuff. It’s a lot more hopeful and different, well mixed too. Multiverse is overdone now, but I can see how it works. MK is a brand so iconic and so old that it’s hard to do new things without people mad at changes. So multiverse lets them do whatever in both visual and story sense. But yea, keep this timeline, skip multiverse crap
@@standardreplicantKD6-3.7Armageddon should be reserved for the Endgame. I miss when MK's games experimented with stuff, like Shaolin Monks. It probably wasn't the best MK game, but it was a nice break from the 2d formula, and gives a good take on the original game.
I dnt understand what's up with these fans and their cancel culture. MK multiverse story is better tournaments were also great but not all the time do we want to see it only be abt tournaments
@@playhub4330 Not cancel culture. Fair criticism. Take some time to acknowledge it. Otherwise, your kinda just a shill. And this is coming from a 8 year old kid playing MK3 on N64 Im a long time fan and Ive seen a degradation ovwr the years.
Some odd thoughts: + Johnny Cage present and past in the same scene but don't acknowledge each other + Havik goes out like a Punk and all his copies have vanished or something + nobody guarded the captured Geras and the Kamidogus?? + where did Havik get the Kamidogus from, are they unique-unique? + the nonchalant joking while there is a mortal attack on the wedding... + why didn't they also take Smoke with them, he's Link Kuei, too
"why didn't they also take Smoke with them, he's Link Kuei, too" Likely didnt want or werent permitted to payroll yuri lowethal for more time in the booth
1. The Johnnys probably had acknowledged each other off camera by that point. 2. His copies might have been scattered around the Ying Valley. If they weren't on camera, it's probable that they all really vanished due to them being extensions of the og Titan Havik and not organic beings but artificial ones. 3. That point I will give to you, but I guess nobody guarded Geras because everyone was very inmersed on the Khaos maze games to care abt anything else. If so, that is indeed a lame excuse. 4. Another good point. We see everyone retrieve Geras and the Kamidogus from Havik's timeline to also restore Bi Han's mind. How did Havik acquire the Kamidogus again is beyond me too. 5. That was done in bad taste as well. Didn't like that scene. 6. Smoke was mostly probably in charge of the Shirai Ryu while Scorpion was away. I believe both he and Harumi were left behind so Scorpion could go.
i have a new one for you LOL + is kung lao dead? as far as i know DLC character endings are false, but noob saibot is part of the OG story, and on his ending he cuts kung lao in half LMAO so, did he just get offscreened?
The special edition should have came with the this anyway WB is all about that money now got get me wrong I'm a big Conan fan but he'll you don't get him until the end of the year
@@starmancrusaderthat is just what I did with the last game and it's story and gameplay was a lot better than this one and I'm playing it on Nintendo switch
It's basically the usual story crap of "why don't we just kill the bad guys"? 😂 now look. There's some villains that deserve to die, but some can live and have a chance if they're not all bad or redeemed themselves
One thing Sindel did say that was right about Mileena She don’t think logical sometimes and she goes off of emotions but other than that, I think she can be a great Queen. even though I personally feel like Kitana would be a better match to be queen of our world.
I can't believe they actually said "let's end the cycle of violence" in a Mortal Kombat game. Liu are you f**king high? YOU made the tournament with Outworld still, and you even won had Raiden win it.
As disappointing as this story is for the majority. I gotta say that havik’s voice actor: jacob craner did a phenomenal job making the character seem batshit crazy
@@Chillout18-s9hThis. Too many people don't look at the older games with their rosy nostalgia goggles off. The story wasn't much better back then if at all but the games passed because of the cheesiness of it all that they complain about in the story now. They outgrew Mortal Kombat but never realized how lacking the original games were because they were kids who were Hella impressioned upon in those days.
@@BlueSunStudios1 you can watch the old games, havik was definitely chill and it had its cheesiness but definitely kept its serious moments and had more depth in the story, this is a spit in the face to the fans
Im gotta say with all the characters used in this dlc, i have a question. Why didn't smoke get one. He was side-lined this whole story, i mean, what happened?
I’m sorry but the writing is mad terrible… In the span of 1 hour you practically have Havik, The Cleric of Chaos, shows up randomly out of nowhere, invites you to his reality show Liu Kang’s mercy is also annoying as Raiden’s consult with the elder gods bullcrap, like fine, don’t kill…but you literally know of their threats when given dark magics and you lock them in places where even bi-Han and sektor can just bust them out. Mileena and Kitana would not trust Liu Kang at all after this, dude keep asking for them to be spared…we literally have Shang Tsung, Quan Chi, Shao, Ermac, Noob, Sektor and I bet soon too Titan Havik, just out there nuking the world because Liu Kang couldn’t just banish them somewhere mortals couldn’t reach. They also wrote Bi-Han like a fucking kid! Sure he’s power hungry but we know he can wait and plot, he’s not that dumb. Here we just have the dude push his brother out of so he can 1v2 and then attempts to solo a god.
to answer the Bi-Han thing. i bet it was more Noob Saibot acting that way than Bi-Han himself. i'm pretty sure Liu Kang didn't fully freed Bi-Han from the power of Noob.
To be fair he did just beat Titan Havik who washed Liu Kang pretty easily after the wedding. Liu Kang seems to either be barely above the levels of the avg fighters or near unstoppable with or with out his Sands
its way too MCU lmao, and even worse Johnny is so unfunny, graphics are great but scenes still play out clunkily, they hold on faces for too long, and fight scenes are just spectacle and rarely ever show the unique fight styles of each character (something that they at least try to do in older games cinematics) "Chaos" "argus" "elder gods "timeline" lmao its like they haven't learned from the base games story
Right? When they reset the universe my first thought was "well, great. Now they can streamline everything, get rid of everything that didn't work out before, try new things that wouldn't have worked back in 1992..." But their decision for the first game of the new timeline had to be multiverse bs that not only complicates everything but also makes the whole reset feel almost irrelevant. "Here, take this shiny New Era that is totally better and more interesting than everything that came before... but also, it's only one of infinite timelines. We did it like this, but we could've done like that, or that, or that..." It doesn't feel special anymore.
How was anything refreshing when at the end all new game's stories ended up being previous games ripoffs? MK1-3 --> MK9 MK4 --> MKX MK5-7 --> MK12 Storywise the only real new thing in WB games have been the multiverse in MK11. Which as you said is nothing but a bs.
So basically: - No one helped Geras during the fight, till he was mid way into the portal - They sent 3 people because they're meant for "infiltration", then they literally started a fight the minute they arrived in the middle of a marketplace. - Havik is a Titan but couldn't teleport directly into his own Citadel. - Scorpion lost all his fights here. - Somehow Noob has powers that are nothing like what Havik has or has given everyone else. - They decided to heal Noob and keep the Kamidogu far from the Temple of the Elements instead of next to it. - Raiden decided not to take the Kamidogu himself into the Temple even when knowing another Titan was coming for it. - The temple of the elements is easily infiltrated. - Sektor immediately frees Noob instead of wondering why would he be kept there. - Johnatan was just there.
- the most powerful hydromant in the series and a combat suit armored with missiles cannot do anything with a metal door other than pick a lock (IRL water cuts steal easily btw) - Tanya suddenly becomes a telepath out of nowhere because writers couldn't come up with a better way to escape the Maze - Meanwhile a stronger and more experienced telepath cannot stop her interaction with the dragon because the plot demands it - Liu Kang is so massively nerfed as a god that casting a small firewall is considered an amazing feat for him, while his fireballs can be blocked easily even by non-gods. I miss the old Raiden destroying entire armies
"- Havik is a Titan but couldn't teleport directly into his own Citadel." it's my main complaint. Like, he could teleport into Mileena empress room with no information, but can't teleport into his citadel? Orin could do this.
Scorpion losing all his fights is fucking disappointing. Especially considering he kicks everyone's ass in the base story. And Cyrax beating scorpion in any universe is psychotic. It kinda reminds me of what they did to bi Han in mk9. Like when he jobs to SONYA. Then continues jobbing when he turns into a super powerful wraith, with "no flaws" apparently.
despite everyone complaining about this story dlc, empress and emperor tanya and rain story was nice and those outfits were sick wasnt expecting them to get some love in this story
It's all the kids who did their homework but had no real creativity. They got the job, but at what cost? It's exactly what a person who was only familiar with Saturday morning cartoons would make after they grew up to write shitty game stories for a living.
NR has always been shitty at telling stories. They have nice concepts that other games took and made better. But it’s usually just the game I look at for the new fatals and what old cameos they throw in the story. As thats all it use to be anyways.
Holy shit water has more flavor than this writing. Absolutely insane that the Cutscenes are so well made but the rest is at the absolute bottom of the barrel..
What a disappointment, it is insane this was 60 dollars. They could compensate their laziness by releasing another part of this DLC for the "unknown" Shao Khan rebellion. Too overhyped, no content.
Agreed, this story was incredibly rushed. The timeline stuff in the initial release was already incredibly convoluted, corny, and jumped the shark. I thought the whole variants of different timelines was really dumb to begin with. But Titan Havik at the end of part I made me hyped and thought maybe they'd do something even way cooler than the initial story. I was wrong, it was just barely an hour of a Havik gladiator battle Royale and rescuing Geras. I thought he was going to bend all reality and like do this massive multiverse war or something. The scope of it all was so small. The only thing they improved on was making the variants of the characters less of a joke (Stung Lao/ Chill Chi etc), I thought Empress Tanya and Emperor Rain were better versions of the original. But other than that it was really lacking and kind boring.
@@beambooi6431 the timelines junk was kind of interesting in the idea of making your own mk characters where you can mix the combos and special moves around and mix and match the cosmetics like the Lego games did and allow a make your own fighter game mode where some characters are probably gonna be more broken than others, unless they really went all out on it
@@isaiahcolon6941 i agree but it would have been a good concept only if it was non-canon or if it wasn’t turned into some throw away joke within the story. Like the pyramid fights with the variants to get to Titan Shang Tsung and Quan Chi all had cheeky joke names. Maybe it’s just nitpicking and I know MK has always had inside jokes and been cheeky at times but the campaign and canon story line is suppose to be mostly serious when it comes to the adversaries. Throwaway joke characters like Stung Lao made me think the ending of the story mode wasn’t serious nor that the stakes were high
@@beambooi6431 yeah it felt like a fan made parody a timeline arcade mode would’ve been more fitting and could’ve been its own thing, but I’m positive this was supposed to be injustice 3 and WB told them to make it a mk in early development
Hilarious that this short ass dlc was sold for $60 fucking dollars. Such a joke . So glad that I waited and just watched the story online because there is absolutely no justification as to why this is being sold at the price of a FULL GAME. Should've been no more then 20$ for the full expansion.
I agree 1 million percent! I was truly excited for this story expansion being that mortal Kombat 11 aftermath was pretty lengthy and really good but for this DLC to be under 2 hours is insane! Obviously the flip side to it is indeed the extra characters
@@DiabolicalAngelmore like they didn’t want to pay extra to bring a guest va to record new lines. It happened last time with Sonya blade in mk11 with Ronda

Guys, maybe I'm wrong, maybe I didn't notice something, but they promised the dragon that they would come back for her and save her. They just fucked her up?
What happened to the writing? I'm thirteen minutes in an getting brutal MK annihilation flash backs. I keep waiting for someone to say "too bad... YOU will die"
Rain's death was so dumb. He could easily cut in half that spiky thing earlier, but could not cut through these doors? Or pushed them with enough water pressure? Shit writing.
How else was empress tanya to get her chance to be highlighted as strong heroic and powerful. Netherrealm writers are making a difference in the world with this, don't you realise it... lol... Yes I'm being massively sarcastic. Don't let radical activists write your stories. The result is always cringe.
@@hellkaiser2009 radical activist here, that decision was kinda ass regardless of intention. nrs thinks they can write feminist stories just by letting the female characters live and kill off the strongest villains in the timeline instead of .yknow. ACTUALLY making them badass in a way that's logical and fitting for the story. if they REALLY wanted to be feminists they'd make the female characters just as buff as the males without making a huge deal of it and not give them obnoxious dialogue that makes people hate them more. nrs hire me as a writer pretty pls
Fr its so abrupt and unsatisfying. I forgot most of what happend a couple of hours after finishing this dlc. Man Im losing hope for Mk day by day. I realized that if you watched the trailers, the only thing that would suprise u is that dragon scene that lasts like 2 mins and isnt revisited. 50 bucks for this is just criminal
Fans: please just let Hanzo rest for the game he deserves it The awful writers at NRS: durrrrr okay let's have sub zero junior take his entire identity as well as family and life duhurrr
My man, not only did they gender swapped Cyrax and Sektor they also gender swapped ORIN ! Taven's Dragon Guardian ! FUCK THIS LGBTQ+ stuff. Also Cyrax and Sektor feel like cheap ass Iron man knockoffs. Seriously fuck Marvel and fuck those who copies this cringe ass MCU crap.
@@chriscarcaci6426 would’ve been more emotional if Tanya tried to save him with her powers rather than talk the whole time the walls were closing in on him
No they don't, the animation is the worst I've seen in a AAA game, they look like each individual character has their own separate framerate from the cutscene.
@@glock16 the frame rates were bad and the fight scenes were lazy but the close ups or the camera shots when they walked around felt like a movie, kinda sad when that’s all the praise I can give the game tho

@@MasterXiggytruuue, the main thing I think is that people are forgetting that this Franchise is over 30 years old now, people who worked there years ago are most likely no longer there. So new people means new or modern ideas and this is clearly the new people going the mcu route. Which is just a cop out at this point. People forget mortal kombat in general is a homage of the times the games came out in, in the beginning it was always a cliche kung fu series now it’s just copying the modern times with multiverses
@@btzmak2785 I would be fine with it, if the actual Cage from Liu's timeline went along. This Col Cage is more annoying then funny, and for that to be said about any Johnny variet means you screwed up.
@@wuhlfzebayneThe Ermac design in MK9 was drip material especially with the skull aura. Since they gave Noob his MK9 costume they should've done the same with Ermac.
@@HailMyMetal666 I KNEW I WASNT THE ONLY ONE. Not trying to be dramatic but Ill bet money that they used a bit of AI because theres some lines off dialogue that sound so unnatural and clunky. I kniw what you mean. Also, Cyrax and Sektors animations when they fight in cutscenes also made me suspect AI was involved.
Theres precedence for bi han being strong in the old timeline……. But i gotta agree they didnt really build him up as the dude to defeat havik at ALLL . Very unsatisfying
He didn't get any stronger. He just gained certain new magic from it so if he can't throw hands as well as someone else then he'll still get his ass kicked The BS excuse was his fighting style was so awkward and strange that he was 1v3ing early on but Bi-Han had knowledge of chaos to counter
They really need to just scale back the story. Hell, just focus on those armies general Shao was mentioned controlling, maybe look why the vampires are getting a lot of humans in stock; just some smaller scale issues rather than "lol, another timeline is invading. Quick, grab artifact #3"
Bihh asking for respect and sympathy for Bi-Han, when they wear the ones who pulled the “Red Wedding” card. Kuai Liang should’ve been like “Fuckkkkkk you!!!” 🖕🏾
Now I always loved sub zero from a lil kid and I am definitely in love with this time line’s Bi Han so no disrespect to him but she is blind as a bat without radar and that can only mean they have a thing and I hate it 😢😂
True. Cyrax on the other hand has more sense in her/(him) (depending on the timeline because Cyrax and Sektor were both men in prior timelines) than Sektor does even though she/(he) was misguided and misunderstood at the hands of Bi Han. (God all this talk about their gender in two different timelines, I think Cyrax and Sektor are in a way officially considered agender now)
Well given a character by itself for dlc is 8usd and it's 6 characters, you technically would have only paid 2$ for the remaining things you get with the dlc.
That's why people are just watching the cinematics online. I personally can live without playing the game, and I think a lot of other people feel the same way. The game is a huge microtransaction slap in the face anyway, which is more insulting being that it's a fully priced retail game. If they wanted to lock QoL content behind a paywall, then they needed to make the game free to play, but charging full retail price and then nickel and dimming people on top of it is just plain scummy. I'm cool with keeping my money in my pocket and just treating MK games like they're a movie series from now on.
Happy to see Bi-Han get some love as a villain. Guy is supposed to be lore-wise one of the strongest fighters due to his victories against Fujin and Shinnok. The Netherrealm timeline made him a jobber that didn't match his reputation. Here he is a legitimate badass, his Noob Saibot form is stronger than his identity as Sub-Zero, and he is the one who defeats Havik. A satisfying transition into a villain compared to the previous timelines.
Since when a enemy character win against the player character on their on chapter since MK9? Even Young Scorpion can win against Raiden on his own chapter at MK11
The writing is all over the place. Theyre clearly taking too much inspiration from Marvel at a time when people are tired of the Marvel Formula. Also, theres many times when the dialogue comes off as pointless and clunky. Idk, this just feels so rushed and uninspired
@@standardreplicantKD6-3.7 "Rushed and uninspired" is the average for DLC. Also, not like this series has ever really had sophisticated writing to begin with.
@@user-lb9xw4xf2qwhat. Wtf is this point. I can name you countless examples of DLC, alot of which are cheaper than this one, that supersede the base product. This is the worst justification Ive ever heard
I knew this DLC was going to be disappointing and not worth the $60. This story with the the cringy dialogue just reeks of Marvel that I was literally waiting for Lord Havik to say "I love anarchy 3000"! Just give John Tobias back the franchise already.
@@jeffn4836Yeah I agree I think the best example is when Rain and Tanya were literally running to find Sektor. Watch how janky the animation looks as he runs I’ll edit a time stamp. 49:33 look at that $%|T dude
Save your money, there’s little to no value for the price of a full game. $60 for 6 characters, animalities, and a lackluster and unfinished story filled with gaps and stupidity.
animalities is a free update that is there even without buying the dlc. Not defending its price point which the 60 bucks is one with first combat pass included btw. Paying 49.99 ( the one you are talking about ) is still not worth it. Just get your facts right if you are gonna complain about it lol.
This is a marvel ripoff, same portal thanos goes everywhere, kamidogus are infnity stones, johnny cage is captain america, cyrax/sector are iron mam, multiverse shit.
Its so stupid that people say that It is not a marvel ripoff, Sektor plays a way different role in mk than Iron man in marvel, and How is Cage a ripoff of Captain America? They are so different.
I mean the Kamidogu where always that kind of infinity stone style maguffens (hell the infinity stones arent even the start of that trope), right down to the colors so it's not ripping off unless you want to say that 2000s mortal combat ripped off marvel comics, they mainly come out of the same trope.
They need Tobias back. He was in the last one and it wasn't as bad even though he really can't save this mess unless he can take the series back to where he left off.
I almost never got disappointed with a peace of media, especially if i had no expectations at the first place like here, but goddamn, i agree with every word
@@LARA-sg4btbecause it's lazy and cringe. Esp the fight scenes.. were horrible. The fight scenes in MK Shaolin Monks, MK9, X, 11, were award winning movies compared to this garbage.
I just finished watching the whole thing* and yeah it was mid as hell. Shang tsung did way more than this. I was expecting anything at any moment during the cutscenes, maybe khaos kintaro and goro, but no, just the dragon from Shrek 1. Nah man this is weak af.
You don't speak for everyone at ALL. The multiverse stuff has been done very well and creatively in these games and it definitely was it. That's a you problem having it somehow hinder you from being invested in any characters.
I do agree how they handled the multiverse is not well, It would be possible for the other MK11 roster (outside Shang Tsung or Liu Kang) to have their own timelines (a stretch btw) cause they are there in the hour glass fight but anything out side that does not make sense for me lore wise. Havik was not there in the final fight and during Kronika era there is only one timeline being repeated over and over again. The enemy titans should have been other than Shang Tsung is Shao Khan, Melena, Cetrion, maybe even Frost. I wish they would publish another Havik comic to show how he became a Titan
For me the problem is that there's an infinite amount of copies of each character (except maybe noob saibot) It makes it feel meaningless when something happens to them
Disapppointing doesn’t even begin to describe this… specially after X and 11. As though the initial story wasn’t silly enough, they had to go and rush the follow up all the way to hell creating more contrivances in it than every timeline before it. Truly a sad and sorry missed opportunity. While the General Shao plot line yet offers a rare opportunity to resolve things going forward, Titan Havik could have been special but was instead reduced to a poor man’s Shinnok.
Whaaaat, you don't like Dragon Kaller Tanya speaking telepaticaly to a derp dragon? You are not entertained by the Johnny "Got His Gun" Cage? You hate the cyberpunk Kitana and Mileena thrown against the our heroic heroes? You feel entitled to good writen stories? Pfffft. You spoiled brat. Pay the 100000000$ or whatever and enjoy that!
@litasscarlos8281 I've been a fan since deadly alliance. Shit was so much better back then. Watching this is like watching your son die. At this point we need to take mk behind the shed to put it out of its misery.
She still wasn't. She pops up and fights alongside Cyrax for like 30 seconds and suddenly they're best buds and Cyrax is spilling her backstory out to her?
Is Cyrax sincerely complaining that a ninja, from a ninja clan, is attacking an enemy "unseen and from a distance" ? Do the writers oftens dine on glue on something?
The Lin Kuei is a Warrior Clan of Assassins. They are not Ninjas. This is a common misconception for almost all of the Mortal Kombat palette swaps because of their appearance, and community given nicknames as "Ninjas".
Actually that might not be true. Yes Lin Kuei is Chinese but Karate found in Japan as reference from Chinese Kung fu in real life even Kung fu was limited in China. There was a Chinese ninja clan called Lin Kuei in real life. There was a book written in 80s, years before Mortal Kombat.. Search Google as "Lin Kuei book".. So they are ninjas, but China based..
Commentary timestamps: 31:00 Khaos Sheeva & Khaos Goro? 35:28 So there’s a resistance in Havik’s timeline? Couldn’t he just make everyone love Khaos? 37:00 Rain and Tanya are married in Havik’s timeline?? 42:50 Titan Havik has followers that follow his every order. Is that not hypocritical? 52:41 R.I.P Rain 1:14:30 Are Bi Han & Female Sektor a thing? 1:24:45 Yeah Titan Havik sounds like a hypocrite 1:26:55 Liu Kang had enough of Bi Han
I guess Havik only thrives in the chaos he creates lol smh. Whe it come to anybody else form of chaos he throws a tantrum smh. That comment alone defeats and makes him a hypocrite. Bi-Han was right calling his BS
I don’t blame lui kang bros ego was fucking wild, didnt want help from scorpion almost lost to a khaos lacky then decided to take on titan havik thinking hes the shit
The resistance is from alternate timelines that Havok had conquered, not his own timeline. Overlord Rain and Tanya say so and even Khaos Kenshi and Takeda have mentioned having thrown multiple different Frosts from different timelines into the arena.
The MCU did real damage with bringing the Multiverse into reality. Now everything has to introduce the multiverse. Done right in the comics, but has done damage to everything else. MK needs to focus more on the realms. This could’ve been about Chaosrealm trying to takeover and Orderrealm (Hotaru fan here) could’ve been introduced
@@meek9168 listen, I’m all for delving into other timelines and variations, but don’t overdo it. To be fair, this game didn’t need the other timelines. It could’ve been fine being its own brand new timeline

I miss the days mortal kombat was about the mortal kombat tournament. Not every franchise needs a multiverse.
Exactly I like the old mortal kombat more these multiversal stuff just doesn’t work for me and thank god I didn’t have to buy this short ass story expansion it would be a waste of money
They didn't even give us one game to get invested in a new timeline before going all in on the multiverse and adding in a dlc that just makes it worse.
The multiverse crap ruined Mortal Kombat. JUST STOP THISSS and move onnnn
MCU is to truly be blamed.
@@sevagapkarian4699 Now practically everyone is a Titan. Like it is a usual thing, a simple thing, and so easy to be one of them.
They even forgot about the original characters!
Well, the tournament thing ends in MK3 but I like the events after it. Till the Armageddon.
They could have made a remake. The same story but in a good graphic. Just like in MK9. Except I would like Smoke to stay human. To reveal him as a human was a good idea! (But making Sub-Zero a cyborg instead was a bad one!)
Liu kang’s “we can’t kill Havik because it’ll kill billions” is bullshit because he capped titan Shang at the end of the game no problem.
Mk1 is a game of contradictions another one rain got crushed by walls yet he can turn into water and leak through it I don't know why the writers didn't consider this
@@jackbandaitv5785excellent point. Water would not be stopped by something as pitiful as a wall.
@@danielwells1734And on top of that THAT WAS NOT some random Rain that was an Emperor Rain so he is definitely stronger and more skilled with water magic then Liu Kang's Rain
Escaping from that situation would be easy for Liu Kang's Rain and this one was stronger for sure
Yes , he killed Shang tsung and the timeline collapsed albeit there was almost no one in his timeline by the end on mk1 . If he killed havik the timeline would collapse. I think haviks timeline is now khaos realm?????
I can see some logic in that. Shang Tsung clearly stated that he crafted his entire time-line to follow his will, meanwhile Havik's time-line had more "freedom". Also in the main story ending, Liu Kang seems a little surprised when Shang Tsung's time-line started to break, maybe he didn't know then that killing the titan would end the time-line
Sketor🙄: " dO YoU kNow nO rEspECt "
Didn't you try to kill this man at his wedding
Sektor also approved Bi-Han willingly allowing his father to die.
The Lin Kuei in this timrlon3 are laughably pathetic, they have failed to gain notable WIns that advance them at every turn. Netherealm is just making new conflicts with no twists everytime an antagonist is encountered they are defeated its absolutely pathetic.
She reeks of hypocrisy
Sektor's a woman now though, so she's only allowed to be right.
Yeah she's full of shit
"How do we show these are Khaos versions of the characters we know?"
"Mohawks i guess"
"Give that man a raise"
"And parrot feathers."
*the whole room stands up and applauds"
I believe it's a Havik thing.
I will remember that :
- Bi Han will never learn his lesson
- No one respects Mileena's decisions as empress
- Colonel Cage is just the comic relief
- Sektor is meatriding Bi Han too much

SO REAL
You shouldnt forget how inconsistent the entire NRS series has been
MK9 was basically a retelling of the original trilogy made great atleast, after MKX everything went so downhill
cant wait for actual meatriding in rule34

Armageddon was wasted on that lil 15 mins at the end of MK1. Its has me rolling my eyes now
Didn't give this new time line any time to breathe and do something lmao all it did was change relationship to wattpad fanfiction.
I would like this timeline to continue without multiverse stuff.
It’s a lot more hopeful and different, well mixed too.
Multiverse is overdone now, but I can see how it works. MK is a brand so iconic and so old that it’s hard to do new things without people mad at changes. So multiverse lets them do whatever in both visual and story sense.
But yea, keep this timeline, skip multiverse crap

Some odd thoughts:
+ Johnny Cage present and past in the same scene but don't acknowledge each other
+ Havik goes out like a Punk and all his copies have vanished or something
+ nobody guarded the captured Geras and the Kamidogus??
+ where did Havik get the Kamidogus from, are they unique-unique?
+ the nonchalant joking while there is a mortal attack on the wedding...
+ why didn't they also take Smoke with them, he's Link Kuei, too
Yea I mean havik is the Titan, so he is definitely tier higher than kamidogu
"why didn't they also take Smoke with them, he's Link Kuei, too"
Likely didnt want or werent permitted to payroll yuri lowethal for more time in the booth
Johnny meeting Lt Col Cage would've been sick
1. The Johnnys probably had acknowledged each other off camera by that point.
2. His copies might have been scattered around the Ying Valley. If they weren't on camera, it's probable that they all really vanished due to them being extensions of the og Titan Havik and not organic beings but artificial ones.
3. That point I will give to you, but I guess nobody guarded Geras because everyone was very inmersed on the Khaos maze games to care abt anything else. If so, that is indeed a lame excuse.
4. Another good point. We see everyone retrieve Geras and the Kamidogus from Havik's timeline to also restore Bi Han's mind. How did Havik acquire the Kamidogus again is beyond me too.
5. That was done in bad taste as well. Didn't like that scene.
6. Smoke was mostly probably in charge of the Shirai Ryu while Scorpion was away. I believe both he and Harumi were left behind so Scorpion could go.

Mileena sick of their shit 😂😂😂😂
It's basically the usual story crap of "why don't we just kill the bad guys"? 😂 now look. There's some villains that deserve to die, but some can live and have a chance if they're not all bad or redeemed themselves
One thing Sindel did say that was right about Mileena She don’t think logical sometimes and she goes off of emotions but other than that, I think she can be a great Queen. even though I personally feel like Kitana would be a better match to be queen of our world.
I can't believe they actually said "let's end the cycle of violence" in a Mortal Kombat game. Liu are you f**king high? YOU made the tournament with Outworld still, and you even won had Raiden win it.
Sounds like a caped crusader I know
As disappointing as this story is for the majority. I gotta say that havik’s voice actor: jacob craner did a phenomenal job making the character seem batshit crazy
Remember when Havik was a chill dude who troll realms and once beaten he just goes "My bad homie see you tomorrow!"
Havik is not chill.
He was simply not powerful enough back then to do what he wants.
@@Chillout18-s9h a chill Havik with a "go with the flow" vibe is more interesting than a Joker-esque Havik.
@@Chillout18-s9hThis. Too many people don't look at the older games with their rosy nostalgia goggles off. The story wasn't much better back then if at all but the games passed because of the cheesiness of it all that they complain about in the story now. They outgrew Mortal Kombat but never realized how lacking the original games were because they were kids who were Hella impressioned upon in those days.
Miss that guy
@@BlueSunStudios1 you can watch the old games, havik was definitely chill and it had its cheesiness but definitely kept its serious moments and had more depth in the story, this is a spit in the face to the fans
Im gotta say with all the characters used in this dlc, i have a question. Why didn't smoke get one. He was side-lined this whole story, i mean, what happened?
Kitana as well
They should have used an Alternate-Smoke instead of an Alternate-Cage. Such a waste.
Bro was babysitting Hanzo
I think he was left in charge of cleaning up the mess and aiding the remainign Shirai Ryu affected by the Lin Kuei's attack
No idea but it’s not like Tanya or Rain have ever been done justice until this DLC. It’s a nice change for once
I’m sorry but the writing is mad terrible…
In the span of 1 hour you practically have Havik, The Cleric of Chaos, shows up randomly out of nowhere, invites you to his reality show
Liu Kang’s mercy is also annoying as Raiden’s consult with the elder gods bullcrap, like fine, don’t kill…but you literally know of their threats when given dark magics and you lock them in places where even bi-Han and sektor can just bust them out. Mileena and Kitana would not trust Liu Kang at all after this, dude keep asking for them to be spared…we literally have Shang Tsung, Quan Chi, Shao, Ermac, Noob, Sektor and I bet soon too Titan Havik, just out there nuking the world because Liu Kang couldn’t just banish them somewhere mortals couldn’t reach.
They also wrote Bi-Han like a fucking kid! Sure he’s power hungry but we know he can wait and plot, he’s not that dumb. Here we just have the dude push his brother out of so he can 1v2 and then attempts to solo a god.
to answer the Bi-Han thing. i bet it was more Noob Saibot acting that way than Bi-Han himself. i'm pretty sure Liu Kang didn't fully freed Bi-Han from the power of Noob.
To be fair he did just beat Titan Havik who washed Liu Kang pretty easily after the wedding. Liu Kang seems to either be barely above the levels of the avg fighters or near unstoppable with or with out his Sands
MK characters love looking at gods and going, “Nah, I’d win.”
Dont apologize lmao this was terrible, the visuals and fights were cool but thats it
its way too MCU lmao, and even worse
Johnny is so unfunny, graphics are great but scenes still play out clunkily, they hold on faces for too long, and fight scenes are just spectacle and rarely ever show the unique fight styles of each character (something that they at least try to do in older games cinematics)
"Chaos" "argus" "elder gods "timeline" lmao its like they haven't learned from the base games story
Now i understand why everybody hate this 😌
Still can’t believe they reset the universe and it was so refreshing and exciting only to immediately ruin it by making it some multiverse bullshit :)
no. it wasnt refreshing at all. It was BAD idea that should have remained in Boon's head.
Right? When they reset the universe my first thought was "well, great. Now they can streamline everything, get rid of everything that didn't work out before, try new things that wouldn't have worked back in 1992..."
But their decision for the first game of the new timeline had to be multiverse bs that not only complicates everything but also makes the whole reset feel almost irrelevant. "Here, take this shiny New Era that is totally better and more interesting than everything that came before... but also, it's only one of infinite timelines. We did it like this, but we could've done like that, or that, or that..."
It doesn't feel special anymore.
How was anything refreshing when at the end all new game's stories ended up being previous games ripoffs?
MK1-3 --> MK9
MK4 --> MKX
MK5-7 --> MK12
Storywise the only real new thing in WB games have been the multiverse in MK11. Which as you said is nothing but a bs.
@@quajay187no it was fine. It needed a reboot. Mk9 is outdated and the mk10 story isn’t that great. The MK1 reboot was fine
But I like some of the moments with Noob Saibot and Liu Kang and also with Kuai Liang...
So basically:
- No one helped Geras during the fight, till he was mid way into the portal
- They sent 3 people because they're meant for "infiltration", then they literally started a fight the minute they arrived in the middle of a marketplace.
- Havik is a Titan but couldn't teleport directly into his own Citadel.
- Scorpion lost all his fights here.
- Somehow Noob has powers that are nothing like what Havik has or has given everyone else.
- They decided to heal Noob and keep the Kamidogu far from the Temple of the Elements instead of next to it.
- Raiden decided not to take the Kamidogu himself into the Temple even when knowing another Titan was coming for it.
- The temple of the elements is easily infiltrated.
- Sektor immediately frees Noob instead of wondering why would he be kept there.
- Johnatan was just there.
- the most powerful hydromant in the series and a combat suit armored with missiles cannot do anything with a metal door other than pick a lock (IRL water cuts steal easily btw)
- Tanya suddenly becomes a telepath out of nowhere because writers couldn't come up with a better way to escape the Maze
- Meanwhile a stronger and more experienced telepath cannot stop her interaction with the dragon because the plot demands it
- Liu Kang is so massively nerfed as a god that casting a small firewall is considered an amazing feat for him, while his fireballs can be blocked easily even by non-gods. I miss the old Raiden destroying entire armies
"- Havik is a Titan but couldn't teleport directly into his own Citadel." it's my main complaint. Like, he could teleport into Mileena empress room with no information, but can't teleport into his citadel? Orin could do this.
Then Takeda was thrown in as an afterthought.
Scorpion losing all his fights is fucking disappointing. Especially considering he kicks everyone's ass in the base story. And Cyrax beating scorpion in any universe is psychotic. It kinda reminds me of what they did to bi Han in mk9. Like when he jobs to SONYA. Then continues jobbing when he turns into a super powerful wraith, with "no flaws" apparently.

What a disappointment, it is insane this was 60 dollars. They could compensate their laziness by releasing another part of this DLC for the "unknown" Shao Khan rebellion. Too overhyped, no content.
Agreed, this story was incredibly rushed. The timeline stuff in the initial release was already incredibly convoluted, corny, and jumped the shark. I thought the whole variants of different timelines was really dumb to begin with. But Titan Havik at the end of part I made me hyped and thought maybe they'd do something even way cooler than the initial story. I was wrong, it was just barely an hour of a Havik gladiator battle Royale and rescuing Geras. I thought he was going to bend all reality and like do this massive multiverse war or something. The scope of it all was so small. The only thing they improved on was making the variants of the characters less of a joke (Stung Lao/ Chill Chi etc), I thought Empress Tanya and Emperor Rain were better versions of the original. But other than that it was really lacking and kind boring.
I am glad I did not pay for this expansion. Big L
@@beambooi6431 the timelines junk was kind of interesting in the idea of making your own mk characters where you can mix the combos and special moves around and mix and match the cosmetics like the Lego games did and allow a make your own fighter game mode where some characters are probably gonna be more broken than others, unless they really went all out on it
@@isaiahcolon6941 i agree but it would have been a good concept only if it was non-canon or if it wasn’t turned into some throw away joke within the story. Like the pyramid fights with the variants to get to Titan Shang Tsung and Quan Chi all had cheeky joke names. Maybe it’s just nitpicking and I know MK has always had inside jokes and been cheeky at times but the campaign and canon story line is suppose to be mostly serious when it comes to the adversaries. Throwaway joke characters like Stung Lao made me think the ending of the story mode wasn’t serious nor that the stakes were high

The story has been ass since the beginning …the fuck kind of nostalgic copium you smoking ? Wanna share it cause im still waiting for a coherent story from this series. Been with it since the start as well as yall.
@@MasterXiggytruuue, the main thing I think is that people are forgetting that this Franchise is over 30 years old now, people who worked there years ago are most likely no longer there. So new people means new or modern ideas and this is clearly the new people going the mcu route. Which is just a cop out at this point.
People forget mortal kombat in general is a homage of the times the games came out in, in the beginning it was always a cliche kung fu series now it’s just copying the modern times with multiverses

@@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu yeah no mk has always had bad storylines
This story alongside the dialogues feels like AI generated.
@@HailMyMetal666 I KNEW I WASNT THE ONLY ONE. Not trying to be dramatic but Ill bet money that they used a bit of AI because theres some lines off dialogue that sound so unnatural and clunky. I kniw what you mean. Also, Cyrax and Sektors animations when they fight in cutscenes also made me suspect AI was involved.
Liu Kang literally spoke like a robot when he was discussing with Kitana and Mileena in the planning room.
Yeah i felt that too... The story kinda quick and the dialogues straightforward tho

@@TheDirtysouthfanwhile true and accurate, I still want all the baddies playable! Or at least represented in universe!
I love that NetherRealm realized there is 100x more emotion random hisses than what Megan Fox can deliver in voice lines.
What in the actual fuck, have they done to Mortal Kombat? Is WB actually specializing in shit? Awful, just awful.
So basically a chaos infused cryomancer can defeat a damn TITAN with the magic of all KAMIDOGUS? I’m done with mk storyline lmfao
& i thought Cassie defeating shinnok was bad
Yup me too
Theres precedence for bi han being strong in the old timeline……. But i gotta agree they didnt really build him up as the dude to defeat havik at ALLL . Very unsatisfying
He didn't get any stronger. He just gained certain new magic from it so if he can't throw hands as well as someone else then he'll still get his ass kicked
The BS excuse was his fighting style was so awkward and strange that he was 1v3ing early on but Bi-Han had knowledge of chaos to counter
That's MK lol the powerscaling is not that good
Mortal Kombat reached a dead-end storywise. And they did it themselves.
And I thought the Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe was the low point...
And its suppose to be mk 1... the reboot.. to open the franchise for new stories.. womp womp
@@marvelgamerz892 They rebooted time just for a big mess and mediocre story at best.
They really need to just scale back the story.

Now I always loved sub zero from a lil kid and I am definitely in love with this time line’s Bi Han so no disrespect to him but she is blind as a bat without radar and that can only mean they have a thing and I hate it 😢😂
True. Cyrax on the other hand has more sense in her/(him) (depending on the timeline because Cyrax and Sektor were both men in prior timelines) than Sektor does even though she/(he) was misguided and misunderstood at the hands of Bi Han.
(God all this talk about their gender in two different timelines, I think Cyrax and Sektor are in a way officially considered agender now)
Crazy short expansion for the price😢
True I regret getting it
fax bro wb should make an mk tv show or huigh budget animated show cuz waiting 4 ears to continue the story sucks
Well given a character by itself for dlc is 8usd and it's 6 characters, you technically would have only paid 2$ for the remaining things you get with the dlc.
@@sheraznabbie8235 Plus taxes.
That's why people are just watching the cinematics online. I personally can live without playing the game, and I think a lot of other people feel the same way. The game is a huge microtransaction slap in the face anyway, which is more insulting being that it's a fully priced retail game. If they wanted to lock QoL content behind a paywall, then they needed to make the game free to play, but charging full retail price and then nickel and dimming people on top of it is just plain scummy. I'm cool with keeping my money in my pocket and just treating MK games like they're a movie series from now on.
Happy to see Bi-Han get some love as a villain. Guy is supposed to be lore-wise one of the strongest fighters due to his victories against Fujin and Shinnok. The Netherrealm timeline made him a jobber that didn't match his reputation. Here he is a legitimate badass, his Noob Saibot form is stronger than his identity as Sub-Zero, and he is the one who defeats Havik. A satisfying transition into a villain compared to the previous timelines.
And some people were complaining about MK Aftermath...
It was "so bad it was good", but also was enterteining as hell. I enjoyed every second of it. Shang tsung was great there.

Right
Since when a enemy character win against the player character on their on chapter since MK9? Even Young Scorpion can win against Raiden on his own chapter at MK11
Didn't Sonya beat Scorpion and Subzero back to back like 2 or 3 games ago? 😂 Cyrax beating Scorpion is still more believable than that.

The writing is all over the place. Theyre clearly taking too much inspiration from Marvel at a time when people are tired of the Marvel Formula. Also, theres many times when the dialogue comes off as pointless and clunky. Idk, this just feels so rushed and uninspired
@@Universe.Steven How?
@@standardreplicantKD6-3.7 "Rushed and uninspired" is the average for DLC. Also, not like this series has ever really had sophisticated writing to begin with.

PLEASE!
I knew this DLC was going to be disappointing and not worth the $60. This story with the the cringy dialogue just reeks of Marvel that I was literally waiting for Lord Havik to say "I love anarchy 3000"! Just give John Tobias back the franchise already.
Questionable writinf aside, NRS has truly mastered the Unreal Engine. Bloody hell these animations are insane.
The fidelity is insane but the actual animation is janky as hell. It’s like characters run at different frame rates
@@jeffn4836Yeah I agree I think the best example is when Rain and Tanya were literally running to find Sektor. Watch how janky the animation looks as he runs I’ll edit a time stamp.

No. Good writing > Pretty lights.
I was so exited for this new Havik villain but I was profoundly disapointed at the end of the story
HUGE missed opportunity to play as Geras
Right? Considering how important he was to the plot
How the hell he didn't use time stop at Kenshi and Takeda to free himself? It took like 3 Sektor's duels to let himself dragged away lmao
Why do they keep side lining him? 😔
Save your money, there’s little to no value for the price of a full game. $60 for 6 characters, animalities, and a lackluster and unfinished story filled with gaps and stupidity.
animalities is a free update that is there even without buying the dlc. Not defending its price point which the 60 bucks is one with first combat pass
included btw. Paying 49.99 ( the one you are talking about ) is still not worth it. Just get your facts right if you are gonna complain about it lol.
yeah this is disgusting honestly, glad I didn't buy it. uninstalled the game too

This is a marvel ripoff, same portal thanos goes everywhere, kamidogus are infnity stones, johnny cage is captain america, cyrax/sector are iron mam, multiverse shit.
Exactly man
Exactly
Its so stupid that people say that
It is not a marvel ripoff, Sektor plays a way different role in mk than Iron man in marvel, and How is Cage a ripoff of Captain America? They are so different.
The person who wrote this dlc's story is def a marvel fan and it's fucken hot garbage. Even the default story felt MKish. This was hogshit.
I mean the Kamidogu where always that kind of infinity stone style maguffens (hell the infinity stones arent even the start of that trope), right down to the colors so it's not ripping off unless you want to say that 2000s mortal combat ripped off marvel comics, they mainly come out of the same trope.
Havik at the end creating a literal Arm-y.....that's actually hilarious and sadly the best part of this storyline

I speak for everyone when I say this multiverse era was not it at ALL. Makes me not at all invested in the characters or what happens to them
You don't speak for everyone at ALL. The multiverse stuff has been done very well and creatively in these games and it definitely was it. That's a you problem having it somehow hinder you from being invested in any characters.
People who say they speak for everyone really bug me
I do agree how they handled the multiverse is not well, It would be possible for the other MK11 roster (outside Shang Tsung or Liu Kang) to have their own timelines (a stretch btw) cause they are there in the hour glass fight but anything out side that does not make sense for me lore wise. Havik was not there in the final fight and during Kronika era there is only one timeline being repeated over and over again. The enemy titans should have been other than Shang Tsung is Shao Khan, Melena, Cetrion, maybe even Frost. I wish they would publish another Havik comic to show how he became a Titan
For me the problem is that there's an infinite amount of copies of each character (except maybe noob saibot) It makes it feel meaningless when something happens to them
@@Real_Jesus_christ_1 Doesn't make anybody meaningless, you'll never get back the one you've grown attached to
Bi Han to Cyrax:"Is that DISRESPECT!?>:("
Bi Han 30 secs later:"BETTER TO BE FEARED THAN RESPECTED!" ...huh
Disapppointing doesn’t even begin to describe this… specially after X and 11. As though the initial story wasn’t silly enough, they had to go and rush the follow up all the way to hell creating more contrivances in it than every timeline before it. Truly a sad and sorry missed opportunity. While the General Shao plot line yet offers a rare opportunity to resolve things going forward, Titan Havik could have been special but was instead reduced to a poor man’s Shinnok.
They continue to disappoint us
Whaaaat, you don't like Dragon Kaller Tanya speaking telepaticaly to a derp dragon? You are not entertained by the Johnny "Got His Gun" Cage? You hate the cyberpunk Kitana and Mileena thrown against the our heroic heroes? You feel entitled to good writen stories? Pfffft. You spoiled brat. Pay the 100000000$ or whatever and enjoy that!

She’s a baddie, so hot
She still wasn't. She pops up and fights alongside Cyrax for like 30 seconds and suddenly they're best buds and Cyrax is spilling her backstory out to her?
I’m very proud Khameleon got so many lines and interaction in this story mode
Kant wait for countess Jade!😊
"Yay! Diversity and inclusion! Whoo!"
Is Cyrax sincerely complaining that a ninja, from a ninja clan, is attacking an enemy "unseen and from a distance" ? Do the writers oftens dine on glue on something?
Lin Kuei - is a Chinese clan of assassins, but ninja is a Japanese thing
The Lin Kuei is a Warrior Clan of Assassins. They are not Ninjas. This is a common misconception for almost all of the Mortal Kombat palette swaps because of their appearance, and community given nicknames as "Ninjas".
Technically the only ninja in the series is Hanzo, the original Scorpion.
Let's get something straight here they are not ninja because they're Chinese only the Shirai Ryu are a clan of ninja and whatever else is Japanese
Actually that might not be true. Yes Lin Kuei is Chinese but Karate found in Japan as reference from Chinese Kung fu in real life even Kung fu was limited in China.
There was a Chinese ninja clan called Lin Kuei in real life. There was a book written in 80s, years before Mortal Kombat.. Search Google as "Lin Kuei book"..
So they are ninjas, but China based..
Why tf is this expansion 50$! That used to be the price of a new game bro this DLC should be no more than 1999 if even that.
Mortal Kombat is starting to feel more like Marvel than staying true to its own core identity. It’s outrageous.

1:14:30 Are Bi Han & Female Sektor a thing?
1:24:45 Yeah Titan Havik sounds like a hypocrite
1:26:55 Liu Kang had enough of Bi Han
I guess Havik only thrives in the chaos he creates lol smh. Whe it come to anybody else form of chaos he throws a tantrum smh. That comment alone defeats and makes him a hypocrite. Bi-Han was right calling his BS
I don’t blame lui kang bros ego was fucking wild, didnt want help from scorpion almost lost to a khaos lacky then decided to take on titan havik thinking hes the shit
The resistance is from alternate timelines that Havok had conquered, not his own timeline. Overlord Rain and Tanya say so and even Khaos Kenshi and Takeda have mentioned having thrown multiple different Frosts from different timelines into the arena.
Cyrax: "It's no use! It's too thick!"
Johnny: "Well, this is a pretty pickle."
Ohhh, MK1 writers, you mischievous little rapscallions....
The MCU did real damage with bringing the Multiverse into reality. Now everything has to introduce the multiverse. Done right in the comics, but has done damage to everything else. MK needs to focus more on the realms. This could’ve been about Chaosrealm trying to takeover and Orderrealm (Hotaru fan here) could’ve been introduced
Thank you! It has been a trend across games and movies… frankly it’s repetitive at this point.
@@meek9168 listen, I’m all for delving into other timelines and variations, but don’t overdo it. To be fair, this game didn’t need the other timelines. It could’ve been fine being its own brand new timeline
