The history of the elder gods(including shinnok and cetrion),also be sure to include some of the arcade endings where the elder gods appear in like raiden's mk3/Mk4 ending,onaga's deception ending,quan chi arcade ending in mkx and Liu kang arcade ending in mk11
Another small lore bit- Quan Chis tattoos are inscribed on him so he could memorize and withhold the spell of resurrecting Onaga. No explanation on why he has them from MK9-MKX though
I would guess that Quan Chi would’ve recruited Onaga for Shinnok. Given what Onaga is capable of, Shinnok having Onaga as a slave as well as Onaga’s unstoppable undead army would be pretty tough to beat.
Whats worse is that when raiden sends the visions back to his past self in mk9, new timeline raiden gets the visions with quan chi now being in the mk tourment, somehow with the tattoos he wouldnt get till deadly alliance. It makes no goddamn sense for him to have them at all in the new timeline
@@AquaFan1998 Not necessarily. Onaga still technically exists in the rebooted timeline, as evidenced by Kung Lao's slightly non-kanon ladder ending, whereby he avenges his ancestor's death & subsequently ensures Earthrealm's victory by defeating Goro, Shang Tsung & Shao Khan. Then, a brief interim period of uneasy peace occurs following Shao Khan's defeat, only for Onaga to show up, but as he was the new Keeper of Time, Kung Lao slew the Dragon King himself, thus prematurely ending the events that would've otherwise led to a remake of Deception & ultimately a new Armageddon. However, as I said, Kung Lao's MK11 ladder ending was slightly non-kanon, because although he wasn't the one to be the ultimate victor (especially since he himself ends up killed across both sets of timelines, since in the Original Trilogy, he's purportedly killed by Shao Khan himself after joining Earthrealm's defenders in MK3, in MK9's retelling of the first 3 games, he's killed during the 2nd Tournament set in Outworld after defeating the Deadly Alliance when Shao Khan snuck up behind him as he was boasting & snapped his neck, and in MK Aftermath, he existed twice over as an undead revenant loyal to whomever rules the NetherRealm meanwhile his MK9 counterpart temporarily saved from death at Shao Khan's hands to serve the Titan Kronika also survived until the final battle, during which he's tossed into the endless Sea of Blood ironically by the revived Shao Khan, however since what happens to the past iteration also harms their undead revenants as well, one would suspect Kung Lao falling forever in the Sea of Blood would also permanently immobilize his undead revenant form, too), Fire God Liu Kang would do him a solid by resetting time so far back that the next game supposedly begins in the time period of Kung Lao's ancestor, The Great Kung Lao, whom Fire God Liu Kang has selected as Earthrealm's chosen MK Champion. With Fire God Liu Kang sculpting the Sands of Time, who's to say if The Great Kung Lao still loses to the Shokan Prince Goro & traitorous Earthrealm defector Shang Tsung ever learns the ability to consume souls from Outworld Emperor Shao Khan teaching him dark magic that promotes him to Outworld's handpicked MK Champion? If The Great Kung Lao never loses to Goro & Shang Tsung never learns how to consume the souls of his vanquished enemies, then there would be little reason for the modern Kung Lao to exist at all, since he was created, much like Liu Kang himself was, to avenge the death of The Great Kung Lao & to save Earthrealm from ever merging with Outworld like many of the other realms Shao Khan's overtaken, such as Edenia, the home of Liu Kang's would-be girlfriend, Princess Kitana. Despite all of the favoritism Fire God Liu Kang may place in Earthrealm's defending Champion, a revived Quan Chi would still be plotting on the sidelines nonetheless, no doubt biding his time to resurrect the Fallen Elder God Shinnok, because Keeper of Time or not, Fire God Liu Kang is powerless to stop the kanonical events that birthed the Mortal Kombat tournament from happening, because if he did, he would accidentally erase all klassic Kombatants (himself, Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade, Hanzo Hasashi/Scorpion, Bi-Han [OG Sub-Zero & eventual Noob Saibot] and Kuai Lang [2nd Sub-Zero], Kano, Reptile, Jackson "Jax" Briggs, modern Kung Lao, Kabal, Kurtis Stryker, Cyrax, Sketor, Ermac, Rain, etc.) & their eventual next generation kin (Cassie Cage, Jacqui Briggs, Kung Jin, Takeda Takahashi, etc.) from history due to the twisted nature of time travel affecting parallel dimensions if certain significant events in the mainline kontinuity are drastically altered.
I recently got into mortal Kombat and I'm really excited to see someone is doing a lore history on its characters, and so recently too. I can't wait for more videos
“MY NAME IS HANZO HASASHI!” “You killed my wife, my son, and then you burrowed your way into my head, MISDIRECTED MY VENGEANCE, COST MY MY ONE CHANCE TO HAVE THEM RESTORED!” *and then Quan Chi gets killed by the vampire killer*
Shang Tsung may be the more memorable and popular of the two, but Quan Chi was the most competent, and in fact one of the most succesful villains in the entire franchise.
He’s really impactful but…Shang won 9 MK tournaments. And if we take aftermath as cannon (even disregarding the ending) Shang is pretty damn competent and even fairly successful
Well, now I know where all the budget for Annihilation went, into Quan Chi's costume and makeup. That's a whole $80! That's 9/10ths the film budget! Everything else like the CGI got 5 cents max.
I don't get why the studio didn't go all in for the sequel saying how much it made off the 1st. And then with all of the guys just thrown in seem like bad fanservice
@@WhiteDarkness3113 Yes, they were. They got clapped by Kung Lao before Shao Khan snapped his neck in MK9. Ultimately, had they lasted, they would've turned on each other anyway, since neither would accept yielding to the other.
Wonderfully informative video! For all his failures, Quan Chi is still an important villain in the MK universe. Still glad that Shang Tsung is back again though, hehe
That part with Quan Chi being the one behind Sindel's death and how this timeline's Sindel was different from the OG timeline (the one up until Blaze's defeat) made the events of MK 11 make sense finally. How this Sindel was actually evil and not really under any manipulation. Way to piece together the lore where they left plot holes!!
It's funny Bi-Han says the amulet isn't worth the bronze it's made from, he might be right. Outside of the magic it has, the bronze probably isn't worth much by itself.
@@GamerThumbTV NRS needs to stop with their terrible retcons(sindel)and plot holes,in the new timeline Both mk9 and mk11 suggest that mk mythologies still happens prior to both games,Bi han still fought fujin at the sky temple and still helped give quan chi shinnok's amulet,and raiden implies bi han beat both shinnok and quan chi,so Quan chi in mk9 is seen with shinnok's amulet,so in mkx shinnok should've had the fake one like in the old timeline
Quan Chi is awesome, one of my favourite characters of the saga. Specially Rich Divizio Quan Chi. It's noteworthy he plays Shang Tsung as well in Mythologies :P
Did anyone else notice the fact that the elder gods removed Quan Chi's free will so he could kill *Raiden?* I don't think you need to remove Quan Chi's free will to get him to do that.
According to a character interaction between Baraka and Sheeva in MK11, Onaga returned in the body of Goro and almost destroyed Outworld after MKX. All off screen lol.
Upon re-watching this, I had already thought that Sindel's retcon was stupid, but now I'm reminded that it also makes the events of MK3 make absolutely no fucking sense in ANY timeline
Basically all boils down to Quan Chi lying about the whole thing. In the original universe she was definitely good. I like to think that Raiden messing with the timeline caused ripples that made this new Sindel "evil."
In MK Subzero Mythology, Quan chin was a Subboss. However after this game, Quan chi is treated as a regular character from MK 4 onwards (Exception in MKDA/MK 5 when he was the boss along with Shang Tsung). Even Quan chi could be fought in the bottom of the ladder in those games (Except in MKDA).
That's made up fan nonsense. None of that happens in any ending. Even in Taven's ending they specifically mention an unforseen outcome happened and "the quest did nothing to resolve the instability of the realms."
@@GamerThumbTV I get it! So what happened to Taven & Blaze? Cause remember in Konquest Mode, after defeating Blaze, you see his ending, maybe then after Shao Kahn escaped Onaga and killed both Taven & Blaze!
Quan Chi’s fatalities have often been subpar and don’t convey his personality or powers at all. Honestly the perfect Quan Chi fatality wasn’t even Quan Chi’s it was Ermac’s “Pest Control” fatality from MK9. It made no sense giving it to Ermac and it suited Quan Chi PERFECTLY.
He didn't need Quan Chi to remain, Noob was his own independent entity. Actually my most recent MK video covers Noob Saibot's entire history. You should check it out.
@@latecheckout11 in this fight raiden did not want to beat the hell out of her that's why he lost otherwise raiden is stronger then many of them think off
They can switch sides. Shang Tsung was originally an Earth Realmer and betrayed Earth Realm for Outworld. So were Kano and Scorpion originally. This is shown extensively in MK9. In Mythologies Shang Tsung invited Sub-Zero to the tournament. The contract on Shang Tsung's life was agreed on before that so he used the invitation as an assassination attempt.
@Irfan Alddin I call bullshit to ya claim. Since Shang is an Upfront Asshole and Never told the Enemy his plans unless he had a Bigger goal in mind. As to Quin Chi who literally Lied and Manipulate his Enemy Told Scorpion He killed his family in every time line which resulted in his own undoing...
There was actually a good amount of comics in the 90s and Mortal Kombat X got a full series made by DC. So it's had some short spurts of comics over time.
I agree with what you say, it was just a thought otherwise Liu Kang wouldn't be in this movie... maybe Liu Kang (god) is a titan like chronika (pardon the pun) who doesn't show up... if anything I think we would have to wait for a new MK storyline to surface
Quan Chi will always be my favorite villain of the saga, he proved to be superior to Shan Tsung, a great manipulator and great sorcerer, I'm glad that D'vora took revenge on Hanzo in MK 11
Wait a minute, now that I'm watching this, I realized a massive plothole that came from the Sindel Heelturn. So, in the new timeline, Shao Kahn only decided to invade Earthrealm after Quan Chi convinced him Sindel sacrificed herself to protect it. But in this new timeline, she introduced herself by killing her old husband to show her loyalty to her new husband. How did Quan Chi convince Kahn that Evil Sindel would kill herself to protect a world she has no stake in?
I used to watch a youtuber but I can’t find any of his videos anywhere. I don’t know what happened, if anyone can help. He was a middle aged white guy, and his whole channel revolves around MK lore. His videos would cut between images of what he was talking about, and him sitting at his desk.
I understand why Hanzo killed Quan Chi and I can't blame him, he spent all of his time as a specter and consumed with rage and hatred for Sub-Zero while doing Quan Chi's bidding, until he was brought back to life and learned the truth, Quan Chi deserved it for what he did to the Shiri-Ryu and Hanzo's family 🪦
Honestly him and shinnok couldn't be taken serious at first. They look like literally clowns.... Then MK10 reaffirmed that for shinnok... Johnnie and Cassie really?

MK has so much history. I wish they would make the whole story in a giant comic series.

@@GamerThumbTV I know about the 90s comics and I have the MKX ones. I just wish there was more because mk has deep history
Quan Chi called Sub-zero the N-Word before he dipped 😂😂

Interesting theory, however the one thing that would need to be explained is why Liu Kang isn't a god.
I agree with what you say, it was just a thought otherwise Liu Kang wouldn't be in this movie... maybe Liu Kang (god) is a titan like chronika (pardon the pun) who doesn't show up... if anything I think we would have to wait for a new MK storyline to surface

I used to watch a youtuber but I can’t find any of his videos anywhere. I don’t know what happened, if anyone can help. He was a middle aged white guy, and his whole channel revolves around MK lore. His videos would cut between images of what he was talking about, and him sitting at his desk.
I did enjoy it
Where can I see the Mk animated series?
I don't think it ever got a full DVD release. I know they had a couple episodes on disc but most of the episodes are on RUclips.
I always thought that Mortal Kombat 4 ending for Quan Chi with Canon
I laughed my ass off when Quan Chi got his nuts crushed and you said "his pain was so great and his defeat absolute."
Imagine getting stomped in the nuts THAT hard. That would destroy the most powerful of magical connections haha.
14:45 ish to 15:10 the floor and background textures are better in the game than the movie. LOL
The Old Timeline end at 32:18
The New Timeline end at 59:37
I understand why Hanzo killed Quan Chi and I can't blame him, he spent all of his time as a specter and consumed with rage and hatred for Sub-Zero while doing Quan Chi's bidding, until he was brought back to life and learned the truth, Quan Chi deserved it for what he did to the Shiri-Ryu and Hanzo's family 🪦
The song at 0:17 what’s it called?
That's from the original Mortal Kombat. I think it's called In the Beginning.
GamerThumbTV thanks
While his master Shinnok was the mail villain, Quan chi was much more visible in the plot in MK Subzero Mythology.
Drahmin next
MK 4 go hard
What cartoon was that!!!!
Mortal Kombat Defenders of the Realm. It was both awesome and terrible lol.
What are these scenes from
Quan Chi is my brother's favorite sorcerer
Honestly him and shinnok couldn't be taken serious at first. They look like literally clowns.... Then MK10 reaffirmed that for shinnok... Johnnie and Cassie really?
Noooooo twice in a row 😭😂
Dogs lick me...because I wear clean underwear and when I don't it's usually quite brutal. - Quan chi.
Best video of its kind on RUclips try to find a better one u wont
Hey thank you for that
@@GamerThumbTV it's true
Sindel Is Not there Friend
"A painful attack to the nuts" HAHAHAHHAHAHA
Quan chi: fuck this shit I'm out 41:48
His usual response when things go wrong lol
your videos are fucking gold man
Hey thank you for that.
Also know as that one character 4thSnake really doesn't like.
Where’s 4th snake to give his true opinions on this amazing character 😂🤣🤣
"Amazing" is a bit of a long stretch. A more appropriate word to associate Quan Chi with is "Shit".
@@shearhead9688 Quan Chit
Want me to be honest,didn't like how mk9 made quan chi into the actual big bad
It kind of didn't though, it more just set up Shinnok's return properly since in the original trilogy Shinnok wasn't even thought of yet.
You sound exactly like Barely Sociable
