@germanvisitor2 it's dependent on how you want to tell it. The easier story would be to make him a dictator right out the gate. Or make him more ambiguous at the start, he is making decisions that are for the good and protection of Earth Realm. Buuut, in a very Shang Tsung-way, deceptive practices, spying on allies and other realms, willing to assassinate potential threats without much concern for the aftermath. Again all with the intent of protection but in ways that are questionable, if not dangerous and divisive. Leading to evolving into something even more vicious than Dark Raiden.

"Some of you may be asking yourselves "Can I afford to skip church today?" But the question you must ask is... "Can I afford *not to*?" - Pastor Tsung, 2023
The closest we ever got to a morally good Shang Tsung was MK vs DC. While he sided with characters like Raiden in order to save the realms, he also had multiple chances to kill people like Liu Kang that he never took advantage of. I just think it’s interesting seeing a twist on these characters. Deceptions opening is so good imo because it shows how Quan Chi and Shang Tsung’s conquest for domination only led them to ruin.
Peakeful Shao Khan: It's official, you're great. Peakeful Mileena: My face is a flaw I accept. Peakeful Noob: The Lin Kuie & Shirai ryu should join forces. Peakeful Kano: Gonna join the special forces to serve my country.
Real talk here. Liu Kangs voice suddenly going from normal sounding to that really deep “G o d.” is honestly more scary then the gradual buildup to the deep voice.
I thought it was kind of a weird choice that MK1's story was 10 minutes long and ended with Shang Tsung choosing Peace, but this ending still made me tear up :')
The funny thing is, You can actually play as Tsung to fight his titan self in the final battle. Not only that but the alternate good Shang Tsung actually exists, however that other timeline Shang Tsung gets his soul stolen by the Titan Shang Tsung.
Maybe he just steals the souls of irredeemable criminals, or takes "small portions" of other peoples' souls, but only enough soul for them to recover it later.
Liu kang: you have chosen peace, welcome, shang tsung. Raiden: but lord liu kang he killed 5 people in the past scene. Liu kang: he has chosen peace, god damn it.
For those who don’t know in Armageddon, there is heavily implied to be a Good Shang Tsung on the battle field, he fought with his Quan Chi against Titan Shang, the one who goes ‘Hurry (X Character)! Your almost there!’ Then immediately gets his soul ripped by Titan Shang.

Shang Tsung: I must consult the Elder Gods.
*Meanwhile, in another timeline.*
Raiden: Something is VERY wrong, somewhere...
Young Raiden be like: "Fuck them Elder Gods."
That's actually an interesting idea for a 'what if' scenario at the very least. Shang Tsung placed in the role of protector of Earth Realm.
@@rd1426
Wouldn't he then be like Shao Kahn?

Shang Tsung has accepted the lord into his heart and now is a pastor at a southern baptist church in Virginia
Oh...oh no!

Oh, the bad ending
No, he's Orthodox pastor Panteleimon in far east Russia

Good ending: Shang Tsung accepted God on his heart
In his eyes he IS God 💀
Bro is out of his mind
Cary Tagawa, Shang Tsung’s actor from MK Annihilations and MK 11, became an Orthodox Christian in 2015, so not too far off.
@@theosouris7063**knocks your door** YOUR SOUL IS CHRIST'S

@@Billy52193 Yes indeed
The universe where Shang Tsung does his friendship 🌈
He should have Rainbow Powers
You have chosen to defy war
Now you have chosen peace with a god
A reality where Shang Tsung is for peace instead of personal conquest, that I got to see
Fujin's MK11 arcade ending has this, he creates a timeline where everyone is peaceful, even shao kahn
*konquest
That's his ending in MK9.

@@onetruesavior69😂😂😂😂
Shang Tsung accepts God into his heart, what a wholesome turn of events 😊
“You have chosen to seek peace then you have chosen to be with God”
Factual statement in real life
This could be a Bible verse
That's like saying
"Ohh so you finally submitted to God right? Okay! Now you will die and be with God in heaven"
@@iam_aperson yeah but in a Christian POV it means to be one with him in our hearys and minds.
@@TitanJonkler Yeah ik
Shang Tsung when he accepts peace: Thank you for your aid, Shang Tsung. May we one day meet again.
Shang Tsung when he accepts God: My soul is yours.
Wholesome! Finally he realized the harm his actions did to others, and he regretted it.
it only took 13 games...
and zeons of years of existence
*26 games*
Yoou have chosen peace 😌
Then you have chosen god 👺
“The question you’re asking is, ‘can I afford God’s grace?’ When the question you should ask is, ‘can I afford to not have God’s grace?’”
Meanwhile shao khan: “I don’t need a peace! I need problems!! Always!!!”
Me to Shao Khan: Well that's too bad, peace awaits you.
@@nunu2191love it love everything about this
Scrolled way too far for this

Shang Tsung's Alternate Christian Timeline:
To be fair, Cary Tagawa is Christian.
Imagine if we got a good Shang Tsung in Liu Kang's universe.
Nah we couldn’t have he chose Shang tsung as the darkness to the light
@@ahem7 But it's been confirmed this Shang Tsung comes from an alternate universe, so there could still be another Shang Tsung in Liu Kang's universe.
@@LegionIvory where was that confitmed
You just reminded me of Shang Tsung's MK9 arcade ending.
@@LegionIvory??????????
Somewhere Shinnok is grateful he gets to keep his head
This is the true character development we were waiting for.

Me: I must consult the Elder Gods
" My *soul* is *yours* "
Real talk here. Liu Kangs voice suddenly going from normal sounding to that really deep “G o d.” is honestly more scary then the gradual buildup to the deep voice.
Good Ending Shao Khan: YOU ROCK!
"Raiden I don't want peace I want problems always"
(in heavy Shang Tsung accent) "Hey sir, do you have a minute to talk about our lord and savior Jesus?"
shang tsung becomes a believer
The good ending 😇😇😇
Wholesome Christian Mortal Kombat!🙏🏻✝️
I thought it was kind of a weird choice that MK1's story was 10 minutes long and ended with Shang Tsung choosing Peace, but this ending still made me tear up :')
LIU Kang after finding the timeline where there Shang Tsang is actually a full hero and brought him to help
Funny thing is
This actually happens
To bad the good shang tsung and good quan chi die by their regular counter partners
yeah i guess shang tsung is never allowed to be the good guy lol
Evil shang tsung be like: YOUR SOUL IS YOURS!!!
Ironically, Shang Tsung's actor Cary Hiroyuki-Tagawa supposedly was baptised as an Orthodox in 2015
This is the story behind the heroic Shang Tsung we see in the final battle.
Wallahi! Shang Tsung has rejected the sorceror life and embraced the Taqwa life
The extreme menace in liu kangs voice makes this even funnier
Shang Tsugn is now a Born again Christian 🙏
Seeing a version of Shang Tsung and Quan Chi who were good for the final battle of Mk1 was so weird
Shang Tsung: It has begun! (He meant the reign of God)
Evil Shang Tsung be like:My soul is yours
😮. . .
*I was fooled and satisfied at the same time*
He wants peace, he wants solutions, always!
Friendship 🌈
Both Wins
Flawless Victory
This shouldn't have made me laugh so hard
I can not stop laughing at this. 😂
man i knew exactly what was coming didnt expect it to be that funny
Its so simple but I fucking love it
😂😂😂😂
Fun fact: this shang tsung variation exists, u can see him at the end of the game fighting his evil titan counter part
"You have chosen to defy war?
Then you have chosen peace with a GOD ❤🌈"
"You see I just want Peace,
And i know my heart is true.
I came down from the East,
And this is what i must do."
Good Shang tsung be like:your life is yours my friends,friendship is always good!
How come he still sounds scary
He’s just aggressively encouraging
good voice acting
The funny thing is, You can actually play as Tsung to fight his titan self in the final battle. Not only that but the alternate good Shang Tsung actually exists, however that other timeline Shang Tsung gets his soul stolen by the Titan Shang Tsung.
And this is the origin of Good Titan Shang Tsung.
When I'm destroying my friend, but he tried his best so I perform a Friendship.
lmao i knew exactly what to expect but still laughed my ass off
If anybody is wondering why Shang tsung has blood on him it's not blood its holy water with red dye
choosing shang tsung in the final battle be like
These are way too funny 😂. Who knew the trailer could easily be a meme format
LMAOOOO this made me laugh way harder than I should have😂😂😂
So a funny thing happened in the story😅
“IT (peace) HAS BEGUN”
You know I really do wonder the practical applications of a a good shang tsung who still uses soul magic.
He could be a psychopomp of the MK world where he’s in charge with ferrying the dead souls to their final resting place or sth
@@iamnerose1658 Actually a cool idea.
Forgot to add one more thing
He can judge which souls condemned to hell or go to heaven by looking at the soul’s memories
Maybe he just steals the souls of irredeemable criminals, or takes "small portions" of other peoples' souls, but only enough soul for them to recover it later.
“I don’t wanna fight I wanna be good”
“Oh….. I shoulda done this from beginning “
Plot twist: he has chosen war with a god.
Rain comes in for an impromptu baptism😂
"I've found my Destiny"
Liu kang: you have chosen peace, welcome, shang tsung.
Raiden: but lord liu kang he killed 5 people in the past scene.
Liu kang: he has chosen peace, god damn it.
Lol wasn't expecting that
I didn't know how much I needed to see this video
This flows so well.
For those who don’t know in Armageddon, there is heavily implied to be a Good Shang Tsung on the battle field, he fought with his Quan Chi against Titan Shang, the one who goes ‘Hurry (X Character)! Your almost there!’ Then immediately gets his soul ripped by Titan Shang.
Raiden: I must consult the elder gods
Shang tsung: I must consume the elder gods
Bro made me laugh
God bless our existence!
"You have chosen to defy war,then you have chosen peace with a god"
