Corrections and Clarifications: -Li Mei fell in love with Onaga in her Deception ending, due to corruption from almost becoming one of hsi undead soldiers. -And I forgot that in the MKX comic, Mileena is at least hinted to have fucked both Goro and either Reiko or Rain.

my favourite mortal kombat ship is the boat that always brings them to the tournament.

Johnny and Sonya: *has a nice relationship* Kano: I C A N E A T A P E A C H F O R H O U R S.

I find it hilarious that Jade calls Kotal "open-minded" with a "strong spine". Ironically, Shao portrays himself as the more tolerant (aka open-minded) of the two. Since his debut, Shao was very inclusive with his entourage (reptiles, bug people, Shokans, Centaurs, Edenians, Tarkatans, even Earthrealmers like Kano) and truly respects and loves Sindel in this game (and apparently only ever had eyes for her) while Kotal is extremely racist towards Tarkatans (driving them to literal extinction) and Earthrealmers, had concubines in Jade's absence and slept with fucking D'Vorah.

Okay, that strong spine punchline got me.

They did Sonya x Johnny so dirty. In MKX, they are introduced as an already divorced couple, buy by the end, they fall in love again. Then, in MK11 they have like 30sec of actual romantic interaction before she dies for nothing. Kinda sad, since they are my favorite couple in MK

"His open mind, strong spine." - Jade on Kotal "Filthy Tarkatan!" "Kitana's Consort must be of Outworld!" "All Democracies are doomed to failure." "Teach my army Sub-Zero. You will meet my demand!" "Honor your Outworld lineage, be serving your emperor." "They will be gone from Outworld!" - Kotal to the Kollectors race Yep...a racist imperialist, very open minded.

Kung Lao and his hat.

Happy valentines scorpion! Scorpion: ‘crying in the corner’

Like, part of the reason I like Kotal x Jade is probably 95% because of how the voice actors deliver their lines, particularly Phil LaMarr switching from his loud commanding tone to this incredibly earnest affection. That said, for MK11 it comes out of nowhere and MK11's interactions and storyline contradict Kotal's backstory information in MKX to make it happen. Namely, Nightwolf asks where Kotal was during the tournament, and Kotal says he was being tortured in the flesh pits and didn't escape until Shang Tsung was killed like a bitch in the MK3 time period. This doesn't add up since Reptile becomes buds with Kotal all because Reptile failed to win in the MK1 tournament and Shao Kahn told Kotal that Reptile should be killed for his failure, but Kotal knew Reptile would be better as an assassin and not a head to head fighter and spared him... Which he couldn't do if he's in the flesh pits and doesn't get out of them until shortly before Shao Kahn is fought by elder god empowered Raiden. Further MK11 interactions imply that Kotal was Shao Kahn's general easily as far back as 10,000 years ago being the personal body guard of Sindel until her death, which I find hard to believe that if she died on his watch that Shao Kahn wouldn't rain hell down on Kotal's head for that happening, which would mean he was in the flesh pits for 10,000 years? But if Kotal knew Jade 10,000 years ago, that would mean he was an adult general while, at best, Jade was a child who could have no real memory of the events of Jerrod's death and the conquering of the realm (just like Kitana) and he was imprisoned before they COULD know each other. Apparently the time of Kotal's imprisonment is as much a mystery as "Who killed Jerrod?" which could be it's own murder mystery in this clusterfuck of writing. As for that D'vorah line, it really comes out of nowhere. I'm tempted to believe it's more of D'vorah's lying to make her temporary servitude to Kotal sound deeper than it really was since in every other fucking situation, everything in regards to D'vorah puts her on fucking par with the Xenomorphs; from the fact that her blood is Toxic to SKARLET, to the fact that every inch of her body is containing hundreds of thousands of various flesh eating bugs, and so much as a little poke with one of her spines = enough venom to kill Scorpion, I don't think anyone but Geras could stick his dick in that and recover from it.

I can't believe you didn't include Kano's intro dialogue with Skarlet "Want to taste Austalia's best blood sausage?" "I'd rather taste your blood, Kano." "Would you settle for me sausage? ;-)" The way Kano delivers his last line is pure gold

"Would you settle for me sausage?"

Can we just acknowledge that D'vorah is a walking corpse inhabited by a swarm and the real D'vorah is a giant Kytinn bug HE LITERALLY SHAGGED A MUTANT WASP

The Shao Kahn's Sacred Seed bit killed me.

They should of had Kabal get with Kira in his ending instead of Sareena. At least he actually knows Kira! XD

Kabal and Sareena being together confuses me the most.

6:45 "His open mind, strong spine..." *snap*

Gonna be real here, I want Bi-Han x Sareena to be a thing. ...Don't judge me.

It feels so weird to hear that both Liu Kang-Kitana and Sonya-Johnny were firmly established in 2009. Those both feel like they've been around forever.

6:48 Open mind - Hates Tarkatans with a burning passion. Strong spine - We already knew how THAT went.

The chemistry between jade and kotal is actually good Because of the voice actors

5:13 Jesus Christ Kotal, have some standards Also that Sacred Seed joke, so good

I like how in MK 2 endings Mileena gets to rule with Baraka while in Armageddon is Baraka's ending where he takes her as his queen I wished they did something more with it but at least is always hinted in most games

The best relationship in all mk timelines is Reptile X being screwed over by his boss and never winning fights

I have never even heard that flirty intro from D’vorah until now

I think Bihan x Sareene had good chemistry just like Lu Kang x Kitana. Don't get me wrong but this ship worked as Bi Han had motivated her to be a better person even in MKX Sareena admits about. If they were nothing like that than MK mythology we won't get the choice of sparing her.

You forgot Mileena also messed around with: Reptile (mk:shaolin monks), Reiko (comic),and Goro (comic).

We all know that the best MK couple is Reptile and SonicHaXD

Remember Mortal Kombat 2 comics smoke and Jade we're best friends.

Mileena & Baraka i believe is first mentioned in Mileenas MK2 Ending, where Baraka is "her secret Companion" and they "rule together as King and Queen".

Jade: Kotals open mind and strong spine Kotal: *back is broken, wants to genocide the Naknada and Tarkatans*

So you’re telling our boy Baraka got tooo SMAAASH?! I’m proud of him😂😂

I don't mind Jade having a LOVE interest. Not sure I would choose Kotal personally, but having divided loyalties actually puts some conflict back into her motivations, something she hasn't had since the late 90s.

We're ignoring the most romantic line in all of Mortal Kombat: *"wOuld Ya sEtTle for me SAusAge?"*

6:00 The only good part of that ending. the dog is adorable.

Liu should've been the first father of a kombat kid

Noob and Jataaka being a thing is a literal joke to me. Not because it's inherently bad, but because I was trying to understand what the hell Noob was doing for 25 years in the Netherrealm when I saw the story for MK11. Guess he was laying pipe.

Friendship, friendship? Again?

6:49 how appropriate given Khan has become the Harley Quinn shows Bane expect Bane is actually funny

Seriously NRS needs to have some consistency before they hire some talent writers for romance and then give them time to write I believe that will fix everything we need more romance in the Mk universe more competent romance

5:09 Well I am not sleeping tonight. Also Happy Valentines Day

Kitana and Liu Kang are the best, no competition.

The use of the intros and cutscenes to mock some of their lines were spot on and hilarious! Kudos to you!

Kotal's strong spine lmaoooo

We need the official bromance storyline of Sub-Zero and Smoke

Am I the only one laughing at Kitanas walking animations at 1:24?

5:05-5:23 got a laugh out of me.

Bruh! That strong spine cut!!!

My valentine just uploaded. 😍

"WoUlD yOu SeTtLe FoR mE sAuSaGe?"

6:58 Same, Kano. Same.

Shao Kahn: Why swoon for the blue-painted weakling? Jade: His open mind, strong spine, KK: *gets baned* Shao Kahn: Who knew Osh-Tekk were so fragile? My favorite part. It's too bad you never mentioned KK in a wheelchair.

To all you single people on Valentines day this year. Don't give up and I believe in you that you and you will not be single next valentines day.

As a random thought about the seven wives: What if it was a collective union of peacekeeping? "I'll marry this one and your clan and mine will no longer be hostile to one another." Stuff like that. This could still open the potential of a lot of wives from other species.

the editing was just perfect on this one I think I ended up laughing more then I expected

For all we know none of these couples will be together in the next timeline. Seriously, I don’t know why I should get invested in any of these characters if they’re just gonna keep retconning and erasing shit. Never mind romance in MK, this franchise is suffering overall from the lack of visionary writers that are like John Tobias.

Tanya's back stabby nature and dialogue with Rain lead me to suspect that that affair was one sided. Since Tanya knew the amulet was evil and killing Mileena but encouraged her to use it anyways, it's likely she was just using Mileena to begin with. So I have no idea where that ending where she has a baby with Tanya even came from, especially since Mileena's sister issue has always been her defining trait in the old cannon and wanting to be Khanum in the new.

I’m betting in the next MK game Cassie will get together with Kano’s son if the writers keep making weird pairings

“Sacred Seed Of Shao Kahn” Ayo what the FUCK

Shang Tsung do be having a crush on Sonya

Everyone's rubbing salt into the wound :(

Mileena was a relationship with Reiko in the comics. He complains about taking her to bed, she explicitly states he's the only person she trusts. Honestly, the comic made me feel sorry for her. I will take the bullet now and say I thought his storyline was the only thing the comic did that was even slightly interesting. At least as far as the story itself, the conclusion of Reiko just being a vessel for Shinnok's amulet (not even Shinnok himself, wtf) was idiotic.

I continue to be amazed how easy it is now to see some "okay" stuff in MK9 and MKX, especially the former, when we know how much worse things can get. MK9 did justice to the essence of most of the characters (out-of-nowhere retcons, i.e. Kabal, notwithstanding), and MKX had a lot of interesting ideas, many legit great pre-fight dialogues and managed to follow the MK9's plot without the need to lie about what happened there. I remember Tobias saying that he regretted canonizing Liu/Kitana, but to me it never felt forced, even though the potential developments and dynamics were never really explored in either timeline. Also, I'm not at all a shipper, but Tanya and Mileena... damn. Just... *damn*

Would you settle for me SaUsAgE?

your getting awfully cuddly with kitana i dont know what you mean just remember your earthrealms champion

Frost and her Ego

"Happy Valentines day, now piss off" Lmao

I, seriously, miss the subtlety of Erron Blacks character in MKX. He showed interest in the females but wasn't so brazen like MK11. He's basically Kano Jr there, like Jerrick. He didn't have grand motivation like everyone else but he was centered and didn't let it get in the way of actual business.

For a character who is supposed to be so important to Jax's story arc, it's troubling how neither X nor 11 has Vera appear on screen. Not even in a picture. Wait, wasn't "Bob" Taven's original name before his current one was revealed? Is Cassie actually dating Taven?

Bummed out Smoke and Jade weren't a thing.

6:28 Those intros turned me into a fucking raisin.

I...had no idea how much shipping was going on in the NetherRealm trilogy. I suppose due to almost having her soul host one of Onaga's lost soldiers, Li Mei has a Deception ending in which she becomes Onaga's queen. Does that count?

5:16 That's the hole Kotal stuck it in

That Kabal and Sareena thing made no sense to me either. At least make it the younger Sub-Zero since Bi-Han was dead/corrupted.

6:00 i mean he is clearly a *chad*

The4thSnake is the MK Ricky Gervais

"Strong spi- *immediately cuts to our true Outerworld Kahn *

6:56 just noticed Kane’s line here is a reference to a line said by Nicholas Cage in Face/Off

Johnny and Sonya are my favorite couple only because I love Johnny.

Tanya let Mileena eat her tuna ?😱 Ouch!!!!!

Ahh, yes. Kotalingus

The strong spine is the best writing in the series. The new one at least

I think sereena could've help Bi-Han become a better person....but Noob saibot is a complete lostcause. That man cannot be saved at all lmao

your editing is flawless

Sub-zero to sareena in mitologies: I can't live without you. I think at least for that game it was something serious at least for sub-zero

johnny and sonya are the best things to come out of the new timeline. I absolutely love the whole kombat kids story but wish we had gotten more interesting characters out of it. Cassie is an absolutely great character though. I never liked Liu Kang too much so I love how much focus was on Johnny.

I genuinely laughed hard so many times throughout this video

Are we forgetting the bromance that is SubZero and Smoke?

In MKX, Cassie has an intro with Bo Rai Cho that implies he and Li Mei may have done it. It's probably Cassie just teasing him but there could of been a spark between them, especial after working together in Deception (I know that's a different timeline but still)

I flipped my shit learning kotal smashed Dvorah. Never heard that dialogue till just now 🤮🤮🤮🤮

the face off peach reference is so out of the blue that I laughed. hard.

LIKE! Keep them coming. I have a short list of favs and you made the cut!!

Come on snake, admit baraka x meleena ID The best ship already 😋

I really don't know why they didn't go the Jade and Kung Lao route because it's as obvious as the day is long, maybe that's why? It'd be too obvious that those two would've ended up together

So okay this might be insane, but wouldn’t Kotal and Sheeva have made an at least interesting couple in MK11? Like, imagine Sheeva WAS one of Goro’s wives, who despite her commitments was in love with Kotal. They could never be together because Goro was himself a powerful warrior, and had a good standing with Shao Kahn. But once they were both at least presumed dead in the aftermath of MK3/9, KK and Sheeva think they see a chance for their relationship, only for circumstances to drive them apart when they both take up leadership roles for two peoples who aren’t ready to trust one another again.

"Sacred seed of Shao Kahn" WHAT. THE FUCK

Skarlet and Reiko were also in a relationship in the comic book

Can we speak about the absurdity of relationships in a game called MORTAL KOMBAT?!?!?!?

1:09 lol damn straight

All this talk of couples makes me lament poor old Reptile. Was never to be with his only Saurian kind, Khameleon.... That's if she wasn't having it off with Chameleon at that point. Using their abilities to just not be noticed throughout the years.
