I love how because of Tarkat Mileena and Baraka understand each other's struggles perfectly and while Baraka tries to help Mileena to overcome her sickness, she in return helpes his colony and all other infected with Tarkat. Strictly platonic respectful relationship, awesome dynamic
I love the story for MK1, I like the changes, especially Sindel had such an amazing character rewriting, I couldn‘t stand her in the past games and now she is such a kind mother to her daughters, also Mileena being a real part of the family is so heartwarming, I‘ve always felt sorry for her, she only wanted a family and was treated like an outcast
Sindel was a kind mother before the reboot, mk9 she was still brainwashed but died so she was an evil revenant and mk11 was just a complete character assassination of her
Seeing Sindel as a hero in this timeline is amazing even thought outside the story mode she still acts like a villain in her fatalities and brutalities lol
@@YaBoiDREXshe probably won’t progress past this point due to having the medicine Shang made for her. Her diplomacy with the Tarkatan outcasts will probably results in more of it being made as well. As long as she takes the medicine when she gets mad and transforms she’ll stay mostly normal

@@irondragonmaidenThat's not confirmed, however Rain and Tanya did sleep together in her MKX ending (which could imply that Mileena, Tanya and Rain were all together but that is not confirmed).
i like how throughout the game, Liu Kang has those little ptsd moments like mileena building a colloseum ,or general shao telling him "he will taste no victory" or scorpion building the shiray ryu and knowing they need help, more important they need protection to grow big enough so that maybe scorpion"s family won t be murdered . Really shows this games details
If I'm being honest I couldn't care less about the shirai ryu. They were never appealing in the first place. Scorpion is the only one who made it special in the first place
“Mileena! Where is my staff?” “What!” “Where. Is. My. Staff.” “I uhhhhh. Put it away.” “Where!” “Why do you need to know?” “I need it! The realms are in danger!” “My evening is in danger!” “It’s for the greater good!” “Greater good! I am the queen, I am the greatest good you are ever gonna get!” I’m sorry.
Tanya tells Johnny not to bother flirting with Kitana, as apparently the Princess already has her eye on someone. Wonder if Raiden's set to repeat Liu Kang's history in that regard.
in chronological order that line with kung lao comes first, she says his crush is unwelcome but despite that she confronts raiden about his feelings? not interested? you sure kitana? the way she looked at him after their fight in storymode says otherwise. the only other person she could be interested in is raiden.@@brynawilliams8483

I think they did an excellent job fleshing out these characters to feel more real. I liked the story overall, though the multiverse stuff just felt a bit much. Would have been much better if it was left out and it was solely about the power struggle and interplay / relationships between the characters. Definitely want to see more though, they hit it out of the park.
I have the exact same feelings, but the multiverse/ alternate timeline stuff was atleast a bit toned down when compared to mk11. Also that's probably the first mk game where I found every single character interesting and feel they were all a good inclusion to the story
@@senhor_errante Yeah feel the same. They really did a good job. Reptile and Baraka might be my favorite. Its like movie/show good with the characters and acting.
Agreed, finished the story 2 days ago and altough the armageddon multiverse war was cool it was kind of a mess up of à good story. Would have loved to see someone else than Shang tsung(why was onaga armytm in the game but not the man himself baffles me)
I agree. Once the story turned into a multiverse one, it was less about the characters and more about constant fighting which made it less interesting. But I guess it allows to have regular in-story deaths without losing any of the important characters (or it also permits dead characters such as Sindel to return as a possible pick for other games).
The Incredibles quote…🤣🤣🤣 I’m so mad this game made me finally love Mileena, Baraka, and Syzoth. This is the first game I’ve played with Ashrah and I fricken adore her!
Who knows how good Barakas wife was before Tarkat infected him, and he had a son so, he’s clapped plenty already AND bro was rich and well respected, I don’t think any normal person would give that up.
Tanya: Princess, Outworld’s in danger! Mileena: My evening’s in danger! Tanya: You tell me where my staff is, woman! We are talking about the greater good! Mileena: I am your wife! I am the greatest good you’ll ever have!

No. I just think this particular RUclipsr ships them. It's clear from their lack of interactions in the story, and the fact they literally hate each other in their intros, that they are not a couple, and never were.

If Mileena eventually loses her mind to the Tarkat disease, I can see her giving her blessing to Kitana to rule in her stead before she is completely gone. But I hope Outworld has good sorcerers working on how to cure the afflicted from Tarkat. And no, the cure should not come from Shang Tsung or Quan Chi, they’d probably spike it with some horrible side effect.
