Poor Reptile. His own kind despises him, he lost a family. At least Syzoth started a new with Ashrah (surprisingly quickly) and now serves a higher purpose

You know it's sad when Mileena is apologizing

I feel for Baraka. Poor man has lost everything and treated like a monster, though he's a strong fighter.

"Some threads must be cut to weave time's fabric." An interesting line. When the Hourglass entails overseeing the exact life and time of individuals, how often had Liu Kang been forced to acknowledge that for a path to be taken, another had to end? If Smoke hadn't lost his mother, he wouldn't have been adopted by the Lin Kuei, which meant further down the road Scorpion wouldn't have the most steadfast ally by his side and may well have met an untimely fate himself. So a personal tragedy had to be allowed so a larger tragedy could be averted. No wonder Liu Kang was so keen to give up his Titan status. Making that choice across hundreds of realms and billions of lives without end? Brutal.

Hearing that Johnny was in recovery kinda hurts more than it should

If they carry on the storyline of Tarkat, my prediction is Baraka is the key to making the cure. If he's been able to hold it off for years while the dialogue suggests it kills quickly, there must be something special about Baraka.

Just goes to show that strife, suffering, violence, and chaos will always linger in every era no matter how hard Liu King tries to change it.

"Some threads must be cut to weave time's fabric" Bro legit said "It's a cannon event bro"

Bi-Han actually shows remorse over Sindel’s death. It’s too bad that he did a lot of upside down stuff before hand that a lot of people don’t feel that remorse

All this kindness just to rip themselves apart in X rays, brutalies and fatalities 💀

It feels weird having only two pieces of dialogue per fight now.

“Having tarkat isn’t a moral failure!” “No, but it does evidence a lack of care.” Sindel has no sympathy for people who have the disease let alone any other sicknesses.

I feel most bad for Liu Kang because he never really had full control of the timeline and yet people still blame him for it.

Okay this may sound weird but I find it interesting that tragic background in MK is no longer just about Hanzo, but others have their own melancholic stories to share too

Too many of these dialogues are so wholesome or tragic, it makes me sad and guilty to actually do a fatality. And this game has the most brutal ones yet.

Syzoth got Hanzo's family loss :(

Even with a cold heart, Bi-Han still mourns Sindel's death.

I feel bad for Liu Kang and Geras who are blamed for all the problems in the world

Mileena: I am trully sorry that I blinded you... Kenshi: I have only myself to blame, Empress... Hits hard... 😥

Man I can only imagine the heartbreak Scorpion and hanzo is going to feel If smoke is forced against his will to become a cyborg

Imagine Omni Man having these conversations with the fighters: Omni Man: "You become an Empress without conquering the Earth, Pathetic." Mileena: "You are as vile as Shang Tsung!!!" Omni Man: "All that power, and you used it for peace instead of Conquest." Liu Kang: "it is a burden to safeguard the timeline as Guardian of the Hourglass." Omni Man: "You know my kind very well." Geras: "I know that the Viltrumites are Conquerors like General Shao." Omni Man: "You must really want to kill your brother, Bi-Han." Sub Zero: "We all have family issues, Nolan." Omni Man: "I never knew I'd found another Conqueror like myself." General Shao: "likewise." Omni Man: "What proposition do you have in mind?" Shang Tsung: "The complete annihilation of our enemies."

Someone should give Baraka a hug😢

Bi Han actually regretting the loss of someone's loved one? 🤯

Anyone else love the interactions in this game? Everyone’s friends with each other (except for the super villains lol)

Poor lui kang being blamed for everything

It's confirmed, smoke's family dying is a canon event

Okay, I love old mortal Kombat meanness but I actually really love this wholesomeness more

I can actually see some characters sympathizing Peacemaker about his bad upbringing. Bi Han possibly seeing potential in him for killing his father. Peacemaker: I killed my own brother! Liu Kang: Your father is the real culprit behind that, Christopher. Peacemaker: What if I died in that fight instead of my brother? Geras: Then your father would have made him far worse than you are now. Ashrah: You're the not only one who had a sibling that suffered, Christopher. Peacemaker: But you saved yours, I didn't. Peacemaker: I'm no better than your brother, Kuai Liang. Scorpion: You killed your father because you had to, Christopher. Sub Zero: I see you iced your old man too. Impressive. Peacemaker: The difference is I didn't kill my dad for power. Peacemaker: I've done many horrible things I'm not proud of. Kenshi: Trust me, Smith. I know that feeling. Mileena: Who are you to tell me to listen to my mother! Peacemaker: You should be glad you have a parent who cares for you. Kitana: Why do you envy our family? Peacemaker: Because I never got to have that family when I was young. Peacemaker: Do you even know what it feels to be a disappointment? Li Mei: Yes because I've been there. Peacemaker: Both my brother and dad died by my own hands. Smoke: One was an accident and the one responsible for that deserved it.

You know it’s extremely sad when the characters wish for their own death

2:30 Sindel speaks like a mom 👌🏿

Love that mileena apologises to kenshi

3:45 Queen / Freddie Mercury : *_“Who Wants To Live FOREEEEVVVAAAAHHH ???”_*

"and Jarek is to blame." Jarek? that Black Dragon loser who screams out nonsense when he falls?

Reptile got the hanzo experience 101

smoke had a twin sister :-( i wish we could see her

Well. Once again Jarek proves to be the evil gremlin of MK

If Bi-Han shows remorse for Sindel's death, is it possible he could be redeemed?

This whole roster needs therapy.

The story is soo good, and i have a feeling it will have an expansion sequel in the near future just like mk11 aftermath

Bi-Han: Your mother’s death was regrettable Kitana: I consider you complicit, Bi-Han Bi-Han: Ok sorry for showing condolences I hope your day gets worse

Oof, I bet that really hurt liu Kang to hear kitana bring up losing both her parents.

Jarek and the Black Dragon Clan had some sort of role in the demise of Smoke's parents at the hands of the Lin Kuei...?

Baraka, Smoke, Syzoth, Kitana and Mileena. Y'all, I'm crying.

0:48 so it's her who must have demon ancestry. For those who don't remember, Tarkatans were never simply a race, not even in the original timeline. They were mutants. Outworld offspring who mutated because they had demon ancestry in them, but were unable to control it. Sindel must have been able to control it, but Mileena didn't, hence how she got contaminated.

4:23 - This is a Canon Event, in her *MK11* ending she has a daughter with *Tanya*

4:19 never had a I heard ashrah say the line awesome in that way

4:34 Kitana must have read up some history of a *certain* Earthrealm nation known for theirs.

I know it's unlikely for it to happen, but I would only wish for Tarkat to be treated. Baraka deserves so much better.

I definitely wanna see a scorpion and baraka team up you can feel those 2 get on well

Liu kang hit smoker with that: "its a canon event bro"

Sub zero was weirdly sincere about Sindels death

At least the intros in this game aren't as one dimensional as the writing in MK11.

I Feel bad for Reptile, poor zaterran lost his Wife and Son just like Hanzo Hasashi

I can only imagine syzote reaction to his mkx version

Liu kang telling baraka that heaven awaits is playing with fire 😅 If I were him, I know what I'd do

Mileena intro dialogues with Hiccup from How to Train Your Dragon Mileena: my mother lost her life mere hours after reuniting with father Hiccup: that is… a terrifyingly familiar experience Hiccup: they didn’t even get to come home together Mileena: that… is a hauntingly familiar experience Mileena: I still grieve my mother’s loss, yet I now must rule as empress Hiccup: oh Thor, that sounds familiar Mileena: how did your people react when the found out about your Dragon? Hiccup: not very well, but it all worked out in the end Hiccup: I look at you… Mileena: …and I see myself

The fact that Yuri Lowenthal voiced Smoke - a character who lost his family, and Peter Parker - a character who ALSO lost his family, will never stop being kinda funny

Someone should make a female Smoke mod, so that we could know what his twin sister looked like.

Sindel: You destroyed your own realm out of jealously? Cure Beat: I was manipulated into singing the Melody of Sorrow.... Cure Beat: Why did you approach me? Rain: We're in the same boat, Siren. ....

3:52 “well, someone should” 😂

3:30 i think that bi han is redeemable

“My sister was my twin.”

These really felt real and human

Maybe I'm just high but that was some sad shite 😂😂

All of this dudes have to understand that “NOTHING” is perfect, and being “Time Keeper” is no different from being a World Leader, in which ones citizens will never be satisfied.

The absolute smug in Shang Tsung’s laugh gets me every goddamn time. Bro has no chill

Wait... How did Syzoth (Reptile) have an entire FAMILY if his own people were said to reject him for being a mutant, a freak of nature?

7:36 That hurts, though 😔

Havik: WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE SCARS I BEAR Ryu: I may not know how you feel, but i know what its like to bear the Suffering others have inflicted upon you Havik

Cool Video.

" why does liu Kang let good people suffer?" Isn't it what we all always asking god?

Pretty sure Shang Tsun was taunting Reptile with the deaths of his family. I doubt that guy’s ever been sincere

Jarek the black dragon

I kinda wish the first person to speak still made a comment the 2nd person cause some of them feel akward without it.

Apologies to each other storie Proceed to do a Brutality on top of

Kinda crazy how it took death to make Sindel realize her mistake in treating Tarkatans

Strange Visitor Superman: *damn y’all call that pain?*

3:47 nah this is straight up cruel

what did sindel and ashrah's line mean?

I feel sorry for Kuai Liang for his father's death and Bi-Han's betrayal, and scorpion will always honored liu kang, earthrealm, shinrai ryu, and the forces of light.

Mileena: "you lost your family members as well?" Me: "a Death in the family isn't something to be avoided Empress, I assure you"

Baraka: Herding us into ghettos isn't the answer! Me: It's called quarantine and at this point it is helpful to prevent more people to get infected Baraka.

Sindel is way to prejudice against tarkat

How can anyone NOT like that fine ass good boi??? The biggest hater😂 MK1 is iconic tho

I have a question, are any of these conversations canon? Like, what if sindel speaks to someone even though she died in the main game? Doesn't that contradict the main story. What about mirror matches? Are those canon too?

It’s so weird seeing Mileena and Sindel be nice and not “ stabby stabby” is weird

Did Ashrah said “awesome”?!

Baraka, he gets most of us

1:51 why do I feel like this is a reference to Mileena’s first friendship?

0:35 - This sounds so familiar to me

Sincer Offer my synpantique

4:30 My Response to Twitter!youth calling for revolution and riots

1:45 Why did this make me laugh? What do you mean Tarkatans don't own mirrors?😂

7:17 a real one

Edenien isgad very oldage for humain

Geras sounds like he isnt a fan of being immortal. To that I say I will GLADLY take his immortality. 5000% if an immortal being offered me their immortality I would take it.

Reptile has a wife and son?

Wait Syzoth has a child and a wife

“You will die like your father kuai liang and you will become nothing and I will become Scorpion again and I will take Kitana as my wife

Monter and sister is Nina like.smoke
