Old Johnny or this new Johnny, which one? Don't forget to drop a like. LET'S HIT 2,400 LIKES! :)

These two have more chemistry in this one game than Johnny and Sonya have had ever

For some reason the trio of Kenshi,Kung Lao and Johnny kinda works. They have funny interactions

I love how Johnny Cage turns not just a Comedy relief, he is a pretty relevant part of the new story. The guy was not just an mouthful actor, he is an arrogant with backup in his skills and strenght. That's kinda new and refresh for an old character. 👌🏽

I love this new Johnny. He's arrogant, but he's also earnest, introspective, has a good heart deep down. It shows why a guy as seemingly cocky and unserious as Johnny Cage is being chosen to help represent all of Earthrealm.

i like how Johnny is a low- key history buff or at the very least learns and does research on things he aquires. Could have easily written if off and he just wanted this baddass sword and Kenshi tells him its importance, instead its he wanted a badass sword that comes with this aweseome historical backstory with it.

Kenshi trying not to cry when Johnny gives him Sento always makes me emotional.

Johnny is the ultimate bro in every timeline. Now Im starting to see why he is the best character in the series

13:44 I love how Kenshi and Cage reminisce about one of Cage's old films and Cage's joy in finding someone who knows about his films, it really highlights how deep their friendship has become and I also love how in this timeline there are people who appreciate Johnny's films instead of being a case of "Lol your movies stink"

liu kang choose kenshi and johnny because raiden chose those 2 and he knew they were good people.

15:15 honestly this moment almost made me cry. They really brought justice to Johnny and Kenshi in this one. The entire story mode was borderline perfect

They struck a nice balance for Johnny's character He's the comic relief again like in MK9 but there's a bit of tragedy to it this time as its there to mask the pain of being a washed up actor who's wife left him AND we actually see him mature over the course of the story rather than start off that way after a time skip

I love how the characters feel like genuine friends in this game. Like Johnny Cage intros with Smoke, Reptile, Raiden, Kung Lao and especially Kenshi make it feel like they would hang out after the story (Johnny and Reptile watching Predator, I love the idea of all of these characters having a movie night or a drink together).

Kenshi and Johnny's relational dynamic is probably the best part about this game (story mode) for me. It just works, these two. They are like brothers, yin and yang, with Johnny the hyper all over the place comic relief, and Kenshi the silent, chill, brooding guy on an honorable mission. They could (should) make an entire off-shoot of these two lol

For Johnny’s announcer voice, one of his select lines for Kenshi is “BEST FRIEND!” Love it

Johnny and Kenshi’s bromance is something I didn’t know I needed until this game.

I really liked the chemistry between Johnny , Kenshi, Raiden, and Kung Lao, it Reminded me of Gears of War. Liu Kang also fits the mentor role really well.

Greatest Friendship in MK history.

Johnny and Kenshi's relationship is one of the best parts of the game. I love how they went from enemies, to rivals, to lifelong best friends. This game ABSOLUTELY NAILS character relationships.

I definitely wish Kenshi wasn't blind in this reboot. But like what he said "it's a blessing in disguise", so glad to see him having a very strong, authentic friendship/bromance with Johnny.

I love that no matter how their relationship is portrayed, enemies, friends, bromance or romance, everyone agrees that their dynamic is one of the best in mk

Johnny Bravo and Samurai Jack crossover become real. Their friendship is one of the past parts of MK1.

That "dun, dun, duuuuuuun" was a funny callback to mk9 where Johnny said the same thing to raiden.

Ed Boon is forsure a fan of his work hahah he heard how much the fans love Kenshi, he saw the dislikes of his fate in the krypt in MK 11. Not only does he make him sooooo much more cooler in this installment, he has him become best buds with the most charismatic character in the series! Worth the $110 imo!

Kenshi is basically Nobu and Daredevil combined

Really enjoyed the Johnny/Kenshi and Reptile/Baraka relationships with this one. Brought some nice heart to the storyline.

Ilike this johnny more than mk11 johnny

9:29 I love Kung Lao’s reaction to what Johnny says.

Im really glad that they made Johnny into a leadership role character and that himself and kenshi are pretty much bros as well

14:44 “Nope, no! We’re getting you home.” It’s like they’ve been friends for ages😢❣️

“Bet me Sento” “Ha, not on your life” Proceeds to literally give him Sento on his life

9:29 My God, he did NOT just-!😅😂

I didn't think my opinion on Johnny in mk11 would continue to this game, but I was happily mistaken. Johnny Cage continues to be the GOAT of the Mortal Kombat universe

this johnny feels like a real person. Thats the best part of MK1, all the characters feel like real people.

This is impressive storytelling. Starting off as enemies, then comrades, and finally sworn friends. Most of all, THIS Johnny Cage is actually Main Protagonist material. NetherRealm Studios have outdone themselves this time.

We need a full story with Johnny, Kenshi, Kung Lao and Raiden. Special appearances of Baraka, Reptile and Ashrah.

I love how even Thoe he may not take much seriously, Johnny still does his research and knows backgrounds of most of his purchases, it’s all about the history

Yes I love their bromance so much best part of the game 😭😭😭 If you pick Johnny as the voice narrator for picking characters he calls Kenshi: Best Friend 🥺🥺🥺🥺

Johnny is a certified geek. And a PhD holder. Now I really have seen everything.

Kenshi’s glow up was definitely one of the coolest things of this new universe

"I don't think you can handle this much boom." *cuts to Johnny sitting on his ass.*

Ngl Kenshi in full suit , Tattoo on his arm , with katana....Looks Sick...

I found it very sweet that Johnny Gave Kenshi Sento back after saving his life.

Goddamn that scene where Mileena stabs out his eyes is so brutal. I’m surprised he didn’t die right there, but that must have been the worst feeling in the whole damn world.

Ngl kenshi Raiden Johnny and Kung Lao being homies is probably my favorite part of tjis game

Johnny Cage has always been my favorite MK character, and just want to thank Netherrealm for making him so prominent these past few games. Loved his friendship with Kenshi in this, bros for life

the music playin when johnny gave sento to kenshi had me thinking they were gonna kiss fr

They both have more chemistry than sonya and Johnny💀

I usually don't like wuxia but the set pieces and stages were all amazing. It's crazy to know the earth locations are based on real world locations

The way he points at Kenshi and goes “why him” looks so much like a child lmao

Johnny and Kenshi's bromance is flawless!! 🙏

I love how they went from fighting over Sento to becoming partners in training over the course of story mode.

I've seen a theory that Johnny uses his films to reference what he's seeing so he can subtly tell Kenshi what's around them without making Kenshi feel bad. Helps as well that Kenshi has seen Wicked Planet and knew exactly what Johnny was talking about in the Living Forest. Which is rather sweet, if you ask me.

"There's Malibu's finest" >god walks in

I love the Bromance between Johnny and Kenshi. So good

Finally Johnny found the one person in all of MK that has watched and seemingly enjoyed one of his movies

I've never played Mortal Combat, but this was really nice to watch. I wish i could play the game so i could understand the full story. The two characters have a really nice dynamic

Loving the new Cage he's more mature and still remains to be a comic relief

"Your wife left" - Kenshi

These three were honestly my favorite part of the story.

I like this version of Johnny. Instead of a snarky A-list celebrity he’s just a turbo nerd who is also a celebrity

The four bois work so well together

Bruh kenshis eyes could have been saved if instead of Tanya and rain fighting them just explain it

This is easily the most nuanced Johnny to date and I love him. He feels less like an arrogant ass that you live to hate and more like a character who's over-the-top personality is just the way that he gets when he's stressed. He can have real sentimental conversations in the lower-key moments

best bromance in mk

This is the best friends they ever did in the series hope for more

I love how in the character select if you select Kenshi with Johnny’s voice he will refer to him as “Best Friend” 😁

Apparently kung Lao has captain America's ears for salty language lol

Best duo and love the dynamic of these two throughout the whole game.

The scene where Kenshi gets his eyes completely destroyed and Johnny screams his name just shows how much closer theyve gotten even if it hasnt been long. Johnny may be a bit egotistical but he still cares a lot about his friends. Uh.....I ship it.

I like this more friendly side to Johnny. He isn’t just a cocky showoff spewing out one-liners, he has a bit more to him. Given how him and Kenshi (for a while) are the only straight people in the group, it makes sense they form a bond. It’s honestly one of my favorite parts of the new story.

This Johnny is amazing!!!

And history would call them "best friends"

The 2nd time a rich white dude with a heart of gold gives his japanese best bro his iconic red headband

Johnny Cage and kenshi bromance is best scene in story mode

Easily two of my favorite characters in this game and in the whole series

The fact that no matter what timeline or verse kenshi still finds a way to be blind😭😭

My God, I love the Bromance they have

I swear Johnny gets better with every game

yes best friends nothing more definetly nothing more

Johnny still has that ego but feels more genuine with him getting used to some people then helping them out whenever he can

"I don't think you can handle this much boom" "You're welcome" What a fucking character

This is 100% accurate how boys become friends lol

Whoever decided to make Johnny and Kenshi a bromance deserves a raise

Reminded me of me and my brother when we argue about nothing 😂😂😂. Johnny is definitely my brother

Props to Jhonny for squareing up agants a guy whit a katana in hand.

THEY BETTER KISS ON THE LIPS AND I WILL BE COMISSIONING FAN ARTISTS AND WRITERS IMMEDIATELY

7:28 "May the Elder Gods protect you." I don't think Cthulhu really gives a crap about any of this. He's probably watching this like some Monday morning cartoon.

I like the idea of Johnny, Syoth, Ashrah, Smoke, Kung Lou, and Kenshi hanging out at Johnnys house drinking beers, eating pizza, watching Predator, Back to the Future, and It’s a Wonderful Life together.

Johnnt Cage just dropping references to past guest fighters

It warms my heart to see how much Johnny has evolved since the beginning

I have no clue if this is a hot or cold take, but I truly believe that M1K Johnny is his BEST, most definitive version ever. He starts out as a big star who's down on his luck right before becoming one of Earthrealm's champions, and demonstrates how he can still handle his own in fights even bore Liu Kang shows up to train him. And as the story progresses, he eventually starts to learn humility, being selfless. and to care for his new friends/companions. All of this and more even BEFORE he ever meets Sonya in this New Era! Which makes me wonder how he'll continue to be handled as this new storyline progresses (hopefully) now that he's evolved so much and reached a farther point in personal development before Sonya was even brought into the picture, which is usually the point where he would start his journey.

"best friends" mother fucker theyre about to kiss in some of these scenes

I can't even watch the video seriously without Johnny Cage making me laugh every time he speaks

I loved the part where Kung Lao shines the flashlight at Johnny's face because Johnny was being a dick to Kenshi's situation.😂

The entire dynamic between Johnny, Kenshi, Kung Lao, Raiden, Reptile, Baraka and Ashrah was really good. Loved seeing all of them becoming friends.

Old Johnny Cage is amazing and is strong enough to beat Sindel and Shao Kahn. This new version is pretty cool and well done.

… was anyone else very surprised and impressed by Johnny’s knowledge of Japanese history (the portions spoken of)?? Like… eh idk, maybe he in this timeline he had a movie similar to like Tom Cruise’s The Last Samurai, and like the latter, Johnny really must have researched his role 🤣🤣🤣

Kenshi and Johnny Cage being bros tracks from their MKX interactions and to see their growth over the story was pretty cool. So far I’m kinda digging the direction of the story but that ending did kinda feel all over the place.

The bromance is strong in this one.
