Imagine being Ed Boon at Midway before mk4 came out and watching almost every single ending and looking everyone straight in the eye and saying "This is good as fuck"
@@brandonmuse5532 that’s actually why Jarek should be brought back. Kano can sit out for one game and be switched out. I’m sick and tired of him. We didn’t need Kano 3 games in a row. He’s not that interesting.
Jarek's one of better the Black Dragon jobbers in my opinion. He never did anything important, but he has a enough moves that I would be interested if Netherrealm ever decides to bring him back. But that's on a long list of characters with a lot of cooler characters ahead of him. 5/10.
That Guy was so Goofy it makes him funny they should bring him back this way because it would make the story more comedic with him being over the top 4/10
I've always wanted to see more of the Black Dragon clan, so I would actually like if Jarek was given a decent makeover like Stryker got in MK9. That clan is so underrated.
Replacment characters for the old ones typically flop cause they never have anything interesting......Jarek failed, Kobra replacing Johnny Cage failed and Kira replacing Sonya+Kano failed......
I'll claim the man. Granted, he had a very rocky introduction as he was literally a Kano clone, but he had promise in Armegeddon (if we're going by his bio) Unfortunately, Armegeddon was the last game by Midway and the focus was split amongst sparingly across only a few characters. So, it's a shame we never got to see how skilled he ended up becoming come Armeggedon
Just noticed that those 4 characters died by their own fatalities: Kano’s heart was ripped out, Sub-Zero’s spine was, Jax lost his arms, and Kung Lao was cut in 1/2
Good presentation, but you forgot a few things. Original time-line: His first cannon appearance to the story is; and I can't believe I'm saying this, is MK Special Forces. According to Midway/NRS; though heavily debated by fans, it predates the first MK, meaning Jerek has been around since the beginning; according to game lore. After getting washed in MK Special Forces he's not seen again until MK4. I think he appears in the MK 4 comic; before MK 4, so technically that's his 2nd appearance. MK4 is his 3rd appearance where he helps the heroes; though it's never mentioned how exactly. Though hilarious, Jax's ending is considered non-cannon to the series. Sonya's is actually the cannon ending; out of 3 identical possibilities. Jerek just charges her and runs off the cliff like a total bafoon; Wile E. Coyote style. At some point in Deception's Konquest mode he meets Shujinko and instructs him to find Oni teeth so that he can return to his clan with them to show off his capabilities; earn some street cred, and show his clan he's no joke. We don't know when or even if this takes place in the story, but it's another side of his character and shows just how bad he is as a character. He's getting Shujinko; of all people, to do something he otherwise can't do to prove his value to the Black Dragon clan and us fans. This is also his 4th appearance. MKA happens and that's when we see his 5th and final appearance. You showed off everything he does and his ending; which as you said, is 1000% non-cannon. Also I thought it was stupid. New time-line: .......... uh.... um.... hmm... I think 🤔 he appears in the comic and dies? Hasn't been in the games. Maybe he could appear in MK12 if planned out more. Honestly I know Hsu Hao gets a bad rap, but Jerek; despite some success like killing some OIA members and Special Forces, I think 🤔, isn't far behind and is tricky to rate. Final Verdict: In the ORIGINAL time-line Jerek originally was going to be Kano, but was changed last minute to be a new character. He retained all of Kano's moves and had no originality from the beginning. His contribution to the story is unknown and his ending; plus the 2 he appears in, are goofy and do nothing for the story. I would've had him kill Kabal; since Kabal was considered a traitor in the original time-line, but Red Dragon member Mavado did that. Perhaps Hsu Hao could've killed Jerek to earn the trust of the Special Forces and later betray them, making him better. A lot could've been done. Kano could've betrayed him, which I would. Anyway he appears again in MKA updated with new moves and a lot of game play potential. Although I had fun using him, his alternate costume sucks and so does his story. Than he dies. I got nothing from New time-line 😒 Keeping all this in mind if he was just MK4 and Special Forces a 1/10. Counting MKA and his potential; yet not taken advantage of, 4/10. He could actually be good but Midway/NRS shows no effort in making him anything special or unique. He sucks, but it's not really his fault. He; unlike Hsu Hao, with a bit of effort and a few victories, could be redeemed at least.
i remember liking him in 4 cause he was the closest thing to kano, then after they kinda flopped giving him a random overhaul which was needed to give him SOME character but yeah by then he was just kinda there. I with they'd do more with the black dragons, they seem like a cool organization and we only ever really hear about kano and kabal
Jarek currently bc all he had was MK4 & Armageddon gets a 4/10. Shame bc he could have been a better character especially if he was suppose to replace Kano. I will say this, The Black Dragon need a RE-vamp. Still a group of criminals, but let them be made up of discharged Soldiers (Dishonorably)., Mercenaries, Assassins, Spies. Have the Black Dragon be a Mercenary Army, led by Kano who offers his "services" to potential buyers. As well as Running the Black Market. Reintroduce his Crew as Top Guys in his Organization! Kabal: Kano's right hand and 2nd in Command (Former Cop) Tasia: as one of his Top Assassins & Tech (Former Navy) Jarek: as another Assassin & Mechanic (Former Marines) No-Face: as a Demolition Expert & Pyromaniac (Former Army) Tremor: as the Muscle/Enforcer (Exiled Lin Kuei) *I believe the Black Dragon could be an amazing side Antagonist to the MK Stories. They commit crimes, sell Arms for big profit, constantly a thorn in the Special Forces agenda and even when captured, not for long cause they escape. They have the substance there it was just never expanded upon.
Hsu Hao 4/10 Kobra 5/10, Jarek is a 7/10 and you want to know what Jarek is that Hsu Hao and Kobra aren't: Alive I'm kalling it right now people Jarek will be in MK12
@@onyx0fire Jarek just needs new moveset and then he'll become a likable character also I think Kano is getting a bit repetitive he's only ever missed 3 games I think Jarek needs to komeback or maybe they make No-Face DLC
Planet Nate I hope MK 12 is like a Deception where the iconic characters of a Cage, Sonya, Jax, Kano take a break. I think all Mks should have Sub Zero, Raiden, Scorpion, Lui Kang. But characters like Kenshi, Nightwolf, Ermac were fleshed out. I’m sure I’m missing others. Fujin, Taven, Daegon, Jarek, Nitara, Ashrah, Onaga, Stryker, Bo Rai Cho, Kabal, Sindel, Shujinko, Rain, Drahmin(cause of DA ending) deserve a shot to be meaningful in the story again.
I did NOT want to believe that he's secretly performing his fatalities after he survived until I done some research cause I didn't give two fucks about Jarek 😂😂😂 wow! And that MK4 ending never gets old! I'm giving this Jobber an absolute 1 out of 10. Great job on reviewing Jarek! 🤣
“Who’s man is this?” Lmao 😂
😂😂😂
Lmao! I click on the video and the first thing i hear is this 😂😂
"FEATS FOR JAREK"

Can’t even call him a talent enhancer. This man was one and done and who the hell falls off a cliff and yells out “IMSOGAY!”??
He actually yells "wanna sell a cake" xD pretty epic
I feel like some of the endings were spoofs or something. I'm pretty sure someone wanted a laugh.
He yelled that because he needed to come out of the closet and he didn't wanna die before the world knew.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@aletheia2742😂😂😂😂😂
The dialogue between Jax& jarek is the kinda dialogue I made up when I would play with my Batman v. Zorg action figures in the bathtub lmao
True that ! Ha ha !!
The evil reincarnation of Yamcha. They called him a walking L when he came out the womb
Ascension Even Yamcha has more credibality
Ascension FANG is his fellow walking L.
Lol 🤣
@@alexandergapour1253 exactly. Yamcha has a more memorable look and move. wolf fang fist. what's a bland guy like JAREK got huh?
Yancha was actually good in OG Dragon Ball.
Jarek: "Hmmhmmhmmhmmhmmhmmhmm."
Famous Last Words
At least Sonya and Jax are even, because she just stood there while Ermac ripped his arms off.
In the original timeline that didn’t happen, Jax personally gave himself upgrades to his arms that were removable during MK3.
It's over, Jarek!
Shinnok is dead!

i like that you say Jax didnt do anything, Sonya didnt even realize whats going on till she started falling
Imagine being Ed Boon at Midway before mk4 came out and watching almost every single ending and looking everyone straight in the eye and saying "This is good as fuck"
Best canonical ending imo
He’s not the worst, just completely unnecessary. 3/10
Agreed or just bring in Kano.
He’s just Kano made in China. He’s like a 2/10 he’s just bland and boring

I feel like if they brought Jarek back, they should embrace the goofiness of his character. I want Jarek to be the Dan Hibiki of Mortal Kombat.
That Guy was so Goofy it makes him funny they should bring him back this way because it would make the story more comedic with him being over the top
4/10
This guy is irredeemable. That scream as he falls off the cliff in MK4 buried him to deep. This cat needs to be future endeavored smh.
I've always wanted to see more of the Black Dragon clan, so I would actually like if Jarek was given a decent makeover like Stryker got in MK9. That clan is so underrated.
They already tried to give him a makeover in MKA and declone him from Kano, but it wasnt enough i guess.

Jarek vs Kobra vs Dairou ...triple threat match and the winner has the honor of being killed in a new mk 11 character intro like Hsu Hao
GeoffDaCow in willing to bet dairou would win that he is a mercenary after all
Dairou is a badass compared to them 2
I take kobra
10/10 petition for jarek to be in MK11 as DLC
Hell yea I would luv to see him in mk11
Absolutely not
...MK4 Sonya Blade had yams low-key 😂😂
He did beat sonya in a short fight in the comics, so hes not bottom barrel of jobbers atleast

2/10

_Jarek the jobber_
At least Hsu Hao is mentioned in MK11. This guy however...lol
4/10 in armageddon his design was great and moves were good but he had no story and did nothing important and never escaped his mk4 ending.
In my opinion, Jarek deserves to return to take kano's spot for the black dragon clan. I'd rate him 5/10
" Let's go Jarek " - 4:54
Ha ha !!!
6/10. He started off as a bootleg Kano but I really liked his moveset and appearance in MKX comics
Mk creators: "we have an obligation to spell it 'klan'"
“Some come get your boii”
Bro I absolutely love.your channel
Jax was watchin his homie die
Going somewhere Jarek
I loved MK4, so I'll rate Jarek a 5/10
"you were standing there and did nothing"
dont misrepresent the situation... he talked. through a transmitter despite having line of sight.

Just a second rate Kano.

1:32 Sonya thicc
2:02 Hmmhmmhmmhnm😂
Not too shabby. I would give him a 6-7/10. Character isn't quite that original, but he does have a few original moves of his own.
He's definitely not Mokap bad so 5/10. Could definitely use some more character development.
They should bring him back I liked him in mk4
1:02 He said "NEEEEVUUUUR" and dove off a cliff.
I give him like a 7/10.

I claim MkA jarek😌
Y'all can go ahead and claim your boy, cause I'm not 😂
1/10
Love u for this 1
All well. At least he's better than Kobra and Hsu Hao. Mortal Kombat 4 ruined him though. Decent in Armageddon. 5/10
Jarek is all the comment section's boy 😂
I want him in mk12
5/10 in mk4 10/10 in mk armageddon
At least he is more decent than kobra
3/10. The MK4 death was legendary. And I want to see a fully animated CGI version of his MKA ending cause it would be lit.
Almost everyone in MK are with the Shits Den 😆 lol
I will come back...
I rate him a 6. Not bad, honestly kind of liked the guy in 4, but it's obvious he's another cannon fodder MK character.
6/10, He’s so bad he’s good!
JAREK aka JERK. LOL
Lol anyone notice that Jarek has Reptile’s stance in his hilarious ending? 2.5 out of 10 awful kharacter.
5.5
3. Solid
Jarek is worst than Kano
Ya should talk about raiden they doin him wrong in mk11
Real lame in MK4, but decent moves in Armageddon still a jobber to jobbers probably going to be killed by Erron Black in MK 12. 3/10
Erron Black is a jobber, too. He's going to be killed by an unknown person in the future.
