Cue a Benny hill chase across Hollywood as Syzoth in his lizard form runs across Beverly Hills chased by them predator, Johnny kung lao Raiden ashrah and kenshi as he’s screaming for dear life
Reptile is by far and away the best change of character in this game. Rather than just being Shang/Shao's jobber lackey, he's rizzing up Ashrah, working for Mileena and has gathered the respect of all of the Edenians and Earthrealmers. Most of these interactions are so wholesome and supportive. What a goddamn treasure it is to see that.
Reptile getting a ROMANCE with Ashrah and a Bromance with Baraka was not something I was expecting in this game, but DAMN, do I support the hell out of it
@@NoelistAvengerShang Tsung kinda forced his loyalty, if I’d even call it that, forced his slavery or henchmen role, then killed Syzoth family despite doing as he said, I’d be cautious too especially since I lost everything for being a servant.
Thanks to Tarkat being a semi-treatable disease, Mileena's status could stay as a (psudo anti-)hero or degrade as the story goes on with oppertunities of redemption. A genuinely complex & occasionally holesome relationship between Kitana & Mileena.
I love what they did to Reptile, back in my childhood, he was always, "HISS HISS I AM A LIZARD DUDE, HISS HISS, AND LAST OF MY KIND, HISS HISS!" Now he has more backstory, more attitude, and respect from others. He is loved by the Earthrealmers, trusted by Outworlders, and now has a lover in Ashura (MY BOY. MY MAN!) They did Reptile justice, I cannot wait to see what comes next!
@@nrem7611And yet he can still go hiss hiss when someone irks him. And when dropping insane roasts. "HISS HISS IS OUTWORLD'S FINEST IN THE ROOM WITH US BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT HIM HISS HISS"
Goddamn Reptile is such a bro in this game. I say it again, best glow up in MK history. Poor thing has been shit on for way too long. Love his personality, he's cool with everyone, dude even has a girlfriend. W's all around
i love how they dont make Baraka that Hell Bent crazy Brute like in Midway Era/MK9-11 Era he actually has Character and Personality and not just killing everything that moves or a Jobber for Shao or Shang Or Quan Chi
@@Rhinestone_Radio yeah, never thought I'd have sympathy for baraka. It's an interesting spin on his story and the tarkat plague as opposed to it being a race of people
@@justincummings5022 True; for a guy who's had to put up with so much shit and grief in his life, it's good to see that he still remained a good person at heart instead of being angry at everything.
Quite notable that Baraka doesn't hold the festival against him, in fact respecting his grit and will to save the Earthrealmers for the sake of both realms. Might also help that he manages to get Mileena on board with improving the care for the Tarkatans. He made great use of his role as emissary already!
Yo you're right! I wonder if it's on purpose? Seems like a deep pull. Especially since its owned by warner brothers, and Phil Lamar voices both Gerus and Khotal Kahn!
Finally. It took so long for Reptile to get the spotlight. He was always my favorite, and now he's back and better than ever. Ps: if they keep these personalities from now on (I hope they do!) I think him and Smoke would make good friends based on their intros
I like the saurian/zateran callout in his mirror match. Little details like that really help clear up any plot inconsistency and makes every timeline feel unique.
I wonder if Saurians are a separate race in this timeline...if only Khameleon was playable instead of a Kameo because I want to know if she is still Saurian in this timeline
@@rjstorm54 I assumed the implication was that zaterans used to be called saurians but since they didn't go extinct in this timeline, their culture was able to grow and became known as Zaterans. Like Saurian is just "lizard person" while Zateran implies a culture he's from. But I also have no evidence beyond my own assumptions so who knows.
I love how in this timeline pretty much everybody loves and respects Syzoth, with only the most evil hating or mocking him, a complete flip from him his prior depictions. He's been one of the biggest winners in Liu Kang's timeline. It was hilarious hearing him sound so shy and doubtful about playing a villain in a Johnny Cage movie. Between that and the Predator reference, I would love a skit of Syzoth, Johnny, and a few other Earthrealmers enjoying movie night at Cage Mansion.
This new timeline did wonders for Reptile. Rather than being a Jabroni that exist to take a beating, he is a cool, friendly, humble and respected good guy. I hope we'll see more of this new and improved Reptile in the next game.
Reptile has always been an amazing character. After this game, he became one of my top 3 Mortal Kombat characters of all time (after Kuai Liang and Hanzo Hasashi). The character development he went in this game is certainly remarkable. A few notes: 1) So now he likes Ashrah? Ok, that's cute. She may be a demon, but hey, so is Sareena and she and Kabal ended up together in Mortal Kombat 11, right? 2) Love how Reptile roasts Reiko by doubting his abilities as second in command to Shao. 3) Wait a minute, Havik's real name is Dairou? They're not separate characters?
After years of seeing Reptile/Syzoth be a nearly mindless animalisitc minion for Shao or Shang Tsung, its really nice to see him not only become a hero but finally find himself around people that respect, and in Ashrah's case, love him
As a longtime Reptile fan I'm very happy with what they've done with him in MK 1. Design-wise and story-wise he's been given an amazing update in the game. His transformation abilities between human and Zaterran form is such an unique find. His role as emissary to the royal family, rather than a slave, is perfect for him. This might easily be my favorite version of Reptile in the entire MK franchise!
I can just imagine him in Johnny's Mansion watching the movie whimpering in fear as he cuddles a Zaterran Plushie (Johnny made it for his Outworld Cinematic Universe)
And is scared of it...he's perfectly fine with partially eating someone alive and spitting acid at them, but he draws the line at the Predator? Sounds about right
If you look closely, Syzoth seems to feel great sympathy for Ashrah when she talks about Quan Chi trying to kill her. They must've bonded over their masters trying to kill them lol.
@furballrage595 something else that they would also bond from is that both are hated by their kind. Syzoth is considered an abomination by his people and Ashrah is completely hated by the demons because she stopped being evil
I like the conversation with reptile and Kitana involving a message from Rain. Reptile: "I bring a message from your cousin" Basically Kitana: "Fuck that bitch"
@superduperblurrymario8056 its hard to tell. Havik is apparently portrayed to be native to Seido, which in the old games was the capital city of Orderrealm. Later in his and Rain's ending, Rain wad manipulated into flooding the entire place, so I don't know if Seido is its own entire realm, like in the old games, or if its just a city that in a farther part of Outworld. Remember, this game doesn't portray Edenia as an entirely separate realm that was merged into Outworld by conquest. Its always been part of Outworld here. So following that logic, maybe there's only Earthrealm, Outworld, and Neatherrealm this time around, and Outworld is the realm that carries multiple aspects from other realms, including what use to be Orderrealm and maybe Chaosrealm. Edit: Just did some back checking on clips with Havok. Yeah, Orderrealm is still a thing. No mention of Chaosrealm though.
The fact that is implied that reptile already seen a lot of fuck*d up things and he's actually scared about predator make hime even more likeable to me, the guy ia really well hearted
It's good Too see few tragedic villians became good guys. Jhonny, Reptile,Smoke and few others are so wholesome. These characters with this kind of personality Deserves a series. Respect too the creators for this kind of Gift. I hope Wb makes a series on these wholesome characters.
Ashrah and Reptile isnt a ship i expected. But i totally approve. Im so happy Reptile is treated with respect this time, he isnt just a dumb lizard guy like MKX
I have to say, I never liked Reptile........until THIS TIME!!!! Now He became my BIGGEST FAVOURITE character!!! 😀 They made him so handsome....so cool! 😍🥰💗💕 I LOVE HIS NEW LOOK! I love his light green eyes and tattoos! 👀💚👀💚👀💚
I'm really digging the new Reptile variation. Also,I didn't like the Tarkot disease retcon, until I found out it can infect other species. Now I want Kintaro to have it......
I love Syzoth. He is a really cool guy now. Not just an evil beast. Unfortunally, his origin story is heartbreaking. I wanna give bro a hug and hang out, grabbing a drink and talk
I love how in previous games the intros were hostile teases while in this one its mostly friendly. It's so wholesome. Then they move to fight and make gruesome fatalities on each other lol
Syzoth was bullied when he was young, which is why he learned how to fight. Syzoth dislikes human food. Syzoth has a close relationship with Ashrah, more than just friendship but not quite enough to call it dating. They are in two different realms.
Syzoth has nothing but scorn for Shang Tsung, Shao and Quan Chi. Havik too now that I think about it. Syzoth knows Havik's real identity. Syzoth is scared of the Predator films. Syzoth and Tomas are besties and I will hear no argument.
I really, really like this version of Reptile. Complex, frightening, and troubled by his history, but ultimately good-hearted. Genuinely my favorite "remixed" character; and possibly my favorite MK character, period.
Reptile got some much deserved recognition.He's gotten more character development than ever before. A compassionate person, a great warrior, and a true friend.
Reptile: Is it true your city flushes baby reptiles into the sewers? Stryker: What? No! That's just a myth! ----- Stryker: If you and Ashrah need a place to crash while you're in town- Reptile: Thank you, but we're not staying that long. ----- Stryker: You and Kitana still coming to Johnny's for Movie Night? Reptile: After "Predator" I don't think I want to... ----- Reptile: I apologize for...losing myself back there. Stryker: First time in the big city? I get it.
Reptile gained so much in this timeline. Amazing looks. Cool transformation power. Funny, cute, and loveable personality. Good comebacks/insults. A girlfriend. A spot in the story. I know the game has gotten hate, but I just wanna be my main boy Syzoth.
23:47 *Geras:* Liu Kang has been kinder to Zaterrans than Kronika *Reptile:* What did she do to us Geras? (Geras bashes Reptile over the head) *Geras:* That. She did that.
it is interesting how despite never seeing what reptile is up to after a certain point in the story in the intros its mentioned quite a lot that he's mileena's emisssary so maybe in a future aftermath DLC we'll see him doing just that
18:23 oh my gosh they made Reptile so adorable I love it my precious lizard lad! 21:46 I love me a good conspiracy reference! 23:30 a tarkatan Zatteran?! *that sounds terrifying!*
Reptile's VA really goes all out here. The snakey laughs are great, you can tell he's really enjoying himself. Also I love how the intro dialogues are connected. Kitana/Mileena with his training. Kung Lao/Scorpion & Kung Lao/Kenshi
Reptile is so good in every way! It is a little difficult to explain. Even when he is angry (in what I do not believe) I cannot perceive this! It still seems like he is _not_ angry (but I start to like him more when he is)!

Sadly couldn't escape a tragic origin story. Both losing his family and being prejudiced by his own people.
Reptile was always a fan favorite.
Reptile is handsome asf and his voice actor! 🤩
@@sainttanactually that benefits him since it helps people sympathize with him even more.
17:10 Predator needs to make a comeback just for the sake of seeing Reptile panicking and screaming "IT'S REAL!?"
Please! I NEED this in my life! 🤣
Bro will be astonished
Cue a Benny hill chase across Hollywood as Syzoth in his lizard form runs across Beverly Hills chased by them predator, Johnny kung lao Raiden ashrah and kenshi as he’s screaming for dear life
Syzoth in the previous timeline didn't find him scary 🤭
Reptile is by far and away the best change of character in this game.

Yeah, I'm loving the more wholesome interactions
Reptile and Baraka definitely wins my heart in this game
He has scorpion’s backstory now it’s so good
Too bad in less than 5 minutes they are gonna murder each other in the most brutal ways possible. No matter how wholesome their interactions are.
It’s kinda sad that he is only one with his shape-shifting abilities and the other who had it were killed.

@@abareamphibia6812 Welp. Shao Kahn has Reiko, so there’s that.
I like that reptile is a bit more cautious in this timeline. He’s loyal as usual but you can tell he’s a little bit worried about things
I mean, with the way Shang Tsung screwed him over, "loyal but cautious" is a rather understandable stance.
Reptile has always been cautious.
@@tiaaaron3278

Wait where does it say they date?
@@thekaren3922 The intros.

If Kabal is ever in future games I hope he's a good guy again
Thanks to Tarkat being a semi-treatable disease, Mileena's status could stay as a (psudo anti-)hero or degrade as the story goes on with oppertunities of redemption. A genuinely complex & occasionally holesome relationship between Kitana & Mileena.
With some slight edge in them (mainly the former 3).
Same, same. It's nice when characters become multifaceted.
And Geras too!

I wouldn’t have called them idiots. They just felt like henchmen in the other games
@@jupitergaming5146 fair point but nrs always had a hard time writing competent henchmen
TRUE 😢
And now Reptile is smart enough to be Emissary - and work out Havik's dirty little secret!
"Fight me without your amulet!"
"Only if you stay in human form."
That exchange is...strangely reminiscent of Samurai Jack.
Oh? What episode?
You mean the one where Aku gets a human form and fights Jack without the use of his sword.

Especially since its owned by warner brothers, and Phil Lamar voices both Gerus and Khotal Kahn!

Same goes for Baraka in that regard.
Liu kang must’ve felt bad for them. While he isn’t omnipotent, he can still try to let their lives be better
About that *A Jabroni that exist to take a beating*,
He was, unfortunately used for brutalities and fatalities due to his green blood.
He also kept his devilishness from the previous timeline, and I love that. He's a good guy, but he's still a trickster at heart.
I love how wholesome Syzoth and smoke are, they r just 2 Normal guys who just happened to end up in some unfortunate situations
Looking at their interactions, they don't even wanna fight each other ;~:
And Nitara is looking for that shapeshifting skill, don't tell her he could also go invisible.

@@VOAN Indeed.
Dairou and Havik used to be separate but I guess Havik did not exist in Liu Kangs timeline and Dairou ended up feelong the shoes.
I need people to understand Reptile was always like this. Cautious, desperate, looks for validation and love. This time he was fortunate he found it.
“What are kudos, Johnny?”
Holy crap, they did it. They made Reptile wholesome. XD

Im so glad they incorporated his deadly alliance look and his older ninja look from the first 3 MK’s its really clean
@WinterBoots15 The design even look more like the one in the MKII commercial.
It is good, though I wish it could have been a bit thinner like an iguana to match up with the human shape an his older incarnations.

I need more lore on Syzoth and Ashrah’s relationship
Both of them probably bonded after reaching Wu shi Academy to take a break. Hence why we didn't see them more until the Armageddon.
who made the first move i needs to know

Edit: Just did some back checking on clips with Havok. Yeah, Orderrealm is still a thing. No mention of Chaosrealm though.
It warms my heart seeing my boi get some respect after years of torment 💚🦎🖤
17:34 Reptile’s cute hiss-laugh
Reptile literally is the new scorpion. I love him.
minus the rage and bloodlust
Hotter than Scorpie too.
One of the intros with Kui Liang was intentional as hell about it, too.
"Shang Tsung murdered your family?"
"He murdered my wife and son."
This is the best version of Reptile by far.
Man I love Reptile just constantly dunking on Reiko. Best glowup in the game
The fact that is implied that reptile already seen a lot of fuck*d up things and he's actually scared about predator make hime even more likeable to me, the guy ia really well hearted
The intro of Reptile and Mileena growling at each other is so sick.
It's good Too see few tragedic villians became good guys. Jhonny, Reptile,Smoke and few others are so wholesome. These characters with this kind of personality Deserves a series. Respect too the creators for this kind of Gift. I hope Wb makes a series on these wholesome characters.
Ashrah and Reptile isnt a ship i expected. But i totally approve. Im so happy Reptile is treated with respect this time, he isnt just a dumb lizard guy like MKX
I have to say, I never liked Reptile........until THIS TIME!!!! Now He became my BIGGEST FAVOURITE character!!! 😀 They made him so handsome....so cool! 😍🥰💗💕 I LOVE HIS NEW LOOK! I love his light green eyes and tattoos! 👀💚👀💚👀💚
They made him hot and cute with a skittish personality, it's adorable.
@@furballrage595 Yes, He is adorable! 🥰💕
I'm really digging the new Reptile variation. Also,I didn't like the Tarkot disease retcon, until I found out it can infect other species. Now I want Kintaro to have it......
No! Not my boy! Say syke.
From a creepy minion to a more tragic, heroic shapeshifter with the respect and friendship of both edenian and earthrealmers. Even has girlfriend :)
Honestly seeing reptile come back and actually get the respect he deserves by most of the kombatants is such a lovely thing to see.
The dialogue between characters for the most party really show Liu Kang’s influence on the timeline
Seems like his style was to interfere early to get the endgame results he wants, then back off to let them build fate from what he gave them.
I love Syzoth. He is a really cool guy now. Not just an evil beast. Unfortunally, his origin story is heartbreaking. I wanna give bro a hug and hang out, grabbing a drink and talk
Why does he have great chemistry with every character what the hell
my man really got the best glow up, his youthful features and green eyes... damn
green eyes
@@wholethedogsout880 nah, i just had to zoom in his official pics and you're right ! he could have purple eyes and still be handsome tho
He has an adorable personality too, he has it all hnnnngh...
Making Reptile into a hero character is easily one of NRS' best decisions. Makes me wish they did that with Skarlet too...
who knows! they might do it in the future
@@wholethedogsout880as long as they bring back Beata pozniak
I like skarlet as a villain tbh, someone who experiments with peoples blood doesn’t really sound like the modern day definition of a “good guy”
@@yostinromero3812 Plenty of evildoers out there to do that on. She'd make a fine anti-hero!
@@yostinromero3812 She could be the one who finds a cure for Tarkat? Redeem herself and the use of Blood Magic as a whole.
I love how in previous games the intros were hostile teases while in this one its mostly friendly. It's so wholesome.
Then they move to fight and make gruesome fatalities on each other lol
Syzoth was bullied when he was young, which is why he learned how to fight.
Syzoth dislikes human food.
Syzoth has a close relationship with Ashrah, more than just friendship but not quite enough to call it dating. They are in two different realms.
Syzoth has nothing but scorn for Shang Tsung, Shao and Quan Chi. Havik too now that I think about it.
Syzoth knows Havik's real identity.
Syzoth is scared of the Predator films.
Syzoth and Tomas are besties and I will hear no argument.
I love this version of Reptile. He's got everything going for him!
love the direction they took reptile hes so much more interesting now
They made Reptile so much better this time! Awesome design, cooler story, great move set, and a hot demon girlfriend that his friends support.
I really, really like this version of Reptile. Complex, frightening, and troubled by his history, but ultimately good-hearted. Genuinely my favorite "remixed" character; and possibly my favorite MK character, period.
Reptile is a absolutely beast most definitely my favorite 💯
He a walking Animality
Imagine telling people back during MKX that in the next game Reptile is playable, he'll be f*cking Ashrah.
If someone told me that back in the day I would have told the to put down the pipe and leave me alone
10:20 Damn Sy, you didn't have to cook him like that.
Anybody up for some BBQ

Thanks man
I love this man, no wonder he's gonna be my main.
- I'm not sure, Johnny. Me, play a villain? 👉👈
- No BS, Syzoth: "Reptile Ravagers" will make you an instant icon! 😎
A lot of Syzoth's intros are 👉👈 energy
At least among heroes
Among villains, or once quite brazenly against Geras, he goes 😎 energy
Finally, this is the Reptile we have deserved all these years!
Reptile is so likeable in this game.
He even has a crush on Ashrah. And she has one on him.
Huh, Reptile as a cinnamon roll with a demon girlfriend. Now I'm sold!! 😆
13:16 It's ironic that he says this to Scorpion, knowing the origin story of the original Scorpion.
Baraka, Reptile, especially Sindel being a good guys wasn't expected after her laugh during her fatality.
Reptile got some much deserved recognition.He's gotten more character development than ever before.
A compassionate person, a great warrior, and a true friend.
Reptile: Is it true your city flushes baby reptiles into the sewers?
Stryker: What? No! That's just a myth!
-----
Stryker: If you and Ashrah need a place to crash while you're in town-
Reptile: Thank you, but we're not staying that long.
-----
Stryker: You and Kitana still coming to Johnny's for Movie Night?
Reptile: After "Predator" I don't think I want to...
-----
Reptile: I apologize for...losing myself back there.
Stryker: First time in the big city? I get it.
Reptile gained so much in this timeline.
Amazing looks.
Cool transformation power.
Funny, cute, and loveable personality.
Good comebacks/insults.
A girlfriend.
A spot in the story.
I know the game has gotten hate, but I just wanna be my main boy Syzoth.
23:47
*Geras:* Liu Kang has been kinder to Zaterrans than Kronika
*Reptile:* What did she do to us Geras?
(Geras bashes Reptile over the head)
*Geras:* That. She did that.
I mean... he's not wrong...
I want a buddy adventure with Reptile and Johnny 😂
Same dude and with predator film 😂
Add Smoke too
With Kenshi and Baraka
All five riding in a van
it is interesting how despite never seeing what reptile is up to after a certain point in the story in the intros its mentioned quite a lot that he's mileena's emisssary so maybe in a future aftermath DLC we'll see him doing just that
18:23 oh my gosh they made Reptile so adorable I love it my precious lizard lad! 21:46 I love me a good conspiracy reference! 23:30 a tarkatan Zatteran?! *that sounds terrifying!*
Maybe a reference to Killer Croc costume for Baraka?
@@krsynxpfft! An amusing notion!
Reptile's VA really goes all out here. The snakey laughs are great, you can tell he's really enjoying himself.
Also I love how the intro dialogues are connected. Kitana/Mileena with his training. Kung Lao/Scorpion & Kung Lao/Kenshi
Reptile thinks Predator is scary? He’s too precious. I love it!
We must protect him at all costs
ashrah and syzoth are so cute! i hope they stay together
Reptile is so good in every way! It is a little difficult to explain. Even when he is angry (in what I do not believe) I cannot perceive this! It still seems like he is _not_ angry (but I start to like him more when he is)!
Reptile being scared by the Predator movie is hilarious 😂
Who would have ever thought Reptile and Ashrah would be a thing
honestly i saw it coming
