Shang Tsung deceiving Shang Tsung is the most Shang Tsung thing I saw in Mortal Kombat. This controversial story will likely humble Shang Tsung and Quan-Chi into becoming very careful about whom they should trust or work with. Also, Titan Shang Tsung's meddling in Liu Kang's New Era gives a reason as to how the God of Fire's peaceful timeline gradually falls apart, causing Outworld's Civil War (Mileena vs. General Shao), the Rise of the Netherealm (Quan-Chi), and the chaos created by Shang Tsung (Shang Tsung). In other words, Titan Shang Tsung's existence avoids making Liu Kang and Geras idiots.

Literally seeing them all circle Evil Sindel, and she's just casually standing there. 😳 Instantly gave me PTSD from Mortal Kombat 9. I was like ohhhh god, she about to slaughter them again. 😬
I thought the storymode was a 10/10 before but once the twist happened, it blew me away. Incredible game, might be my favorite storymode I ever played in a fighting game
Dark Raiden isn’t actually Richard Epcar, it’s Travis Willingham. I didn’t notice it wasn’t Epcar until someone pointed it out to me, and even then it’s pretty hard to tell it isn’t Epcar.
This Chapter brought 2 Things I wanted NRS to do for Years, Redeem Mileena and give Her a Better Life as if they are keeping this Character making her a Queen with a Supporting Family is a Great Direction and making Ermac’s MK9 Ending Canon which I’m Happy because it’s a Brilliant Way to bring Jerrod and Ermac being Redeemed is a homage to Deception, as for the Damashi Twist it makes sense, not only is Kronika manipulates like Shang Tsung but MK1 is basically a Deadly Alliance Requel and a Continuation of both Aftermath Endings, I know People wanted Onaga but when you think about it if NRS revealed the Dragon King, they would’ve done it by now, at least Reiko’s Ending hints otherwise,also Jerrod and Sindel’s relationship gave me vibes from Antonio Banderras Zorro Movies in a Weird Way, it’s one of those Rare Times I like Evil Sindel in the Franchise, and seeing the Good Sindel Die is Heartbreaking, at least her Soul is Safe in Ermac, the One Thing I Don’t like about the Chapter and possibly the Story Mode is Tanya, she did absolutely nothing or was in any Importance, Even Reiko had a Larger Role in the Story, Tanya being Retconned to he Far Superior Traitorous Variant was completely wasted that I expected her to be Responsible for Jerrod’s Demise.
I’ve just found your channel and I am subbed after a few episodes. I like how quick witted and fast you are at your improv. The ‘Rain’ comment about Shao is an example. It won me over other MK1 playthrough.
Remember the further resistance serves no purpose is a reference to Mk9 when Raiden tried surrending Earthrealm to shao kahn so he could merge the realms also it’s the voice actor From Onslaught for Raiden
I like how Sindel effectively beats everyone again, but this time at the very least Raiden shocked them all so you could say that they were weakened by it. Except for Mileena because player character gotta gameplay
Ever since the trailer for this game released, my theory was that both aftermath endings were canon. I CALLED IT! Pretty sure anyone else who had the same theory also called it.
So the plot gets more interesting,i was having those sindel mk9 memories from were she took out earthrealms champions one by one but this time just knock them down.
Sadly Richard Espar did not return for Raiden, Travis Willingham now voiced for Thunder God Raiden, which he previously voiced for him in MK Onslaught.
15:48 - Actually that's not Richard Epcar, it is someone else voicing Raiden that just sounds extremely similar to him, just like Shang Tsung is voiced by Alan Lee and he manages to copy the voice the Cary Tagawa to almost full perfection. But yes that voice actor is also almost identical in his voice to Epcar. Also I just now notice at 25:01 that music here is a slower and more quite version of the Rise song from MK11, fits perfectly for the moment since Liu Kang and Geras talk about the Hourglass. And no final note, RIP Sindel.
@@callumnorris3738I can tell a difference. Richard's voice is a higher pitch and smoother. Travis's voice is easy to stop since it's deeper, more rougher, makes me think of Animated Marvel's Thor.
Spoilers ahead: This twist is actually very solid. Making both endings to Aftermath canon is so cool. Even cooler is the idea that the whole game is essentially a reimagined retelling of the 3D era games (Deadly Alliance, Deception, and Armageddon), with this twist serving as the “Deception”. With that said, I think they could’ve saved the Armageddon and multiverse stuff for a different game. Not saying that it’s bad, but everything that happens after this chapter just makes the last third of the game feel cluttered. Which is a shame since the rest of the story is very good. They could’ve just left the twist of “both endings of Aftermath are canon” as is, have us fight Titan Shang and Quan Chi as the final boss, then at the very end hint at the idea of a multiverse. And to avoid rehashing Titan Shang as the final boss for the sequel, they could throw Onaga in as a massive multiversal threat.
@@Monkforilla I’m sure the story can still be grand and epic without the Armageddon. When it comes down to it, it’s Titan Shang Tsung & Quan Chi vs Time Keeper Liu Kang. That alone can make for an epic finale to the game. Plus, Armageddon is like the ultimate culmination of everything in the series. The original had every single character in the series. Here, we only have brief cameos from other characters not on the roster and alternate versions of characters on the roster. And when it comes to choosing your final character to play as, you only really get 23 options. 22 if you didn’t pre order the game. Let me preface this: I’m not against the idea of adding the multiverse or Armageddon into the story. I’m totally on board with it. I think it’s a perfect way to pay homage to not only the forgotten 3D era games, but to Mortal Kombat as a whole. I just think it needs its own game for it to stand out.
This is literally the only problem I have with MK1 story: Mileena's chapter could've been better. Hell, they could've swapped Mileena in this chapter with Sindel and swapped Sindel with Mileena in the prior chapter. Side note: Mileena beating dark Raiden is pure BS
Where were the ppl from Liu Kangs timeline. In the end battle arent all them characters from their own timeline or belonging in others. Its as if this Mileena, shang, quan and Smoke just vanish
Travis Willingham was the new voice actor for Raiden Edit: Travis Willingham was actually a former Raiden voice actor from MK Onslaught...if I'm not mistaken...
I wish it were Richard Epcar, but he is actually no longer voicing Raiden. Instead, it is Travis Willingham, who also voices Thor (Marvel) (another Thunder God), Guile (Street Fighter IV-VI), and Portgas D. Ace (One Piece) to name a few other roles.
If they did a DLC wouldn’t it be the whole aftermath all over again because there would be two endings, and then it would be against steel two different timelines, and then the same thing will just happen again
I kinda noticed that Dark Raiden's amulet is not Shinnok's also the amulet is located on his side hip not on the chest where it usually locates plus I was hoping for Onaga
Do they ever bother explaining in the lore why Sindel is so powerful? Her going off in MK9 was fine, but how was she taking out Liu Kang and Geras so easily?
Wonder if Ermac in the DLC’ll actually be Ermac or rather Jerrod. Maybe they could even have multiple skins and voices for when they’re male or female. Off topic side note: Got a manscaped ad right after Sindel died. Totally ruined the moment.

What was it again
Shang Tsung betraying Shang Tsung is the most Shang Tsung thing I've ever seen
what about shang tsung stealing shang tsungs soul?
Of course, it's Shang Tsung. 🤣
Say "Shang Tsung" again.
After MK1, Geras feels iconic to the series. Another character who received a huge glow-up in this game.
RIP Good Sindel, you were a true Queen.
Fr. Geras already had the cool design, he just needed the character work.
Ermac looks nice but it's weird to see him without his mask.The plot twist is impressive that Ermac is King Jerrod can't wait to play him.
It’ll be dope if half of his intro dialogues is him as Jerrod and the other half is him as Ermac.
It was such a dope idea they've had since mk9 but never did anything with it til now. Super dope that they continued that plotline
Titan Shang Tsung: "it was me Liu Kang, it was me all along"
Liu Kang "But why though?"
Titan Shang Tsung: "Because FUCK YOU".

It makes sense that "Damashi" can diguise as Kronika, he DID consumed her soul after all. So it was a really good red herring.
I must've missed this. When did that happen???
Damashi isn't another character. That was just an alias Titan Shang Tsung used when he disguised himself as Kronika.
@@LaShea69 In MK11 Aftermath just before the final fight, Shang absorbs Kronika's soul after defeating her.
@@muigokublack6487The person knows that, but he/she did not know that the name was just an alias, and thought of it as a real character
@@muigokublack6487 I thought we were talking about the actual Dragon King, not 'Titan' Shang Tsung. My mistake.

When sindel was surrounded and said come I'll finish what the Raiden couldn't I got my PTSD back from mk9 💀
Many of us felt that
Dark Raiden isn’t actually Richard Epcar, it’s Travis Willingham. I didn’t notice it wasn’t Epcar until someone pointed it out to me, and even then it’s pretty hard to tell it isn’t Epcar.
I also thought that was Epcar. Job well done, Travis.
He was the former voice of Guile in Street Fighter, now he replaces Epcar as the original Raiden while Epcar now voices Akuma.
Well I guess Travis emulates Richard's Raiden voice very well that it almost makes anyone couldn't tell the difference between the two voice.
I thought it was Dave B. Mitchell?
I didn't realize it was Travis until someone pointed it out and now I can hear it. Though I watch alot of Critical Role so I know his voices well.

of course! in Aftermath Shang tsung absorbed Kronika so, that's why he can change to Kronika's appearance.

Travis Willingham is old Raiden he’s a big voice actor. for me I only know him as Ace in the English dub of One Piece.
Sadly Thunder God Raiden isn't voiced by Richard Epcar, its actually Travis Willingham.
The only ones to live through MK9 that I can think of were Johnny, Sonya, Ermac, Kano, Raiden & Mileena
Scorpion, Reptile, Baraka, Sheeva, Cyrax, Sektor, and Quan Chi too
