After finishing up the Mortal Kombat 11 Aftermath story on stream, I thought about it, and I KNEW I had to cover the whole MK timeline! So today, enjoy this video summarizing everything that happened from the FIRST EVER Mortal Kombat all the way up to Mortal Kombat 11. Some non-canon/not so important stuff was left out (Shaolin Monks, Mortal Kombat Mythologies, etc.) to make room for some of the most important details.

Black Liv- MORTAL KOMBAAAAAT
you said correctly Schuginco defeated Onaga but Scorpion killed Onaga
Biden 2020 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
Really loved this video until the political rant at the end. A sad example if profound ignorance. I know it will be hard but try to look at the evidence objectively. If you do you'll find that the answers aren't what the dishonest politicians claim.
Basically, Raiden messes up until he performs the fusion dance.
Preeeetty much
To fair, Raiden is the ONLY ONE DOING ANYTHING BECAUSE THE ELDER GODS DON'T DO JACK.
Ean Rollins SHIT *
@@eanrollins3443 true
Fu....jun.....Ho!
So that's it. I really thought Raiden was a total badass throughout the whole MK history, but he's just that guy who always makes the dumbest decisions and does mistakes on daily basis. Hell, he doesn't even learn after one mistake he did. He would somehow learn his mistakes, but still proceeds to do dumbshits.
That's Raiden for ya lol
@@TheBlackMastadonte so you’re telling me the entire mk timeline goes raiden fucks up then he fucks up again then he fucks up again and after about 50 more fuck ups he makes 1 good decision to give his power to Liu Kang who is actually competent and everything is better.
Just like Biden
@@cdwarrior6582 Yep, Liu Kang is a better Raiden
Panisa learn English.
Honestly when Johnny got clapped in aftermath I was legit so sad man’s legit got told he was trash and only used for breeding
Yeah man. He dead tried. I felt for him

Fun fact: In the original timeline Sindel is 100% a good woman who was put in an absolutely fucked situation. She looks evil yes, but when she's taken out of the mind control (around Deception I think? ) she's a major force for good and does whatever she can to save her daughter from a screwed situation she technically caused because she took the easy way out and killed herself to avoid Shao Kahn's. Also the plot twist of Sindel lowkey makes NO sense in this timeline because in MK9, her bio and ending plainly state that she was indeed brainwashed and is a good person without it, so the fact she's clear of mind control and is not only genuinely evil but also murdered her husband for power in Aftermath is pretty stupid and kind of a twist for the sake of a twist. This is without going into questioning how Aftermath happens to start with considering Kronika reset time already OR how Shao Kahn is even still alive despite having his frigging throat sliced opened (not cut, SLICED OPEN). All that bitching said, good work as always. I'm doubling down on asking for Kiryu Kazuma or at least a history lesson on Yakuza
No you are DEAD right. Sindel was supposed to be a good guy. And I def peeped that Shao Kahn should've died. A lot of plot holes in this story. Which is why we unfortunately have to turn our brain off for it. Also, I really want to cover the Yakuza series, I just need a lil break from all these long ass game stories though.
I thought shao khan killed her husband . Then she was brain washed n used them framed a suicide . But aftermath changed all of that ? Ig cause technically it’s a different universe maybe ? Hopefully 4explains most
Sindel turning evil was honestly ridiculous in my opinion. You expect me to believe that someone who was so distraught over the loss of her husband and her homeworld that she committed suicide as a way to tell Shao Kann to shove it, is resurrected and suddenly loves Shao Kann?? It’s a BIG no for me 🤦🏽♀️

Well I guess in the new timeline she’s the one who kills her husband so she already lives sk
New timeline. Different story.
I am pretty sure Shao khan also erases most of her memories when she's revived as well
They also explain that she didn’t kill herself she was killed. So in the new time line it makes sense. Not an entirely out of left field.
I’m bittersweet about the situation. While I’m glad the story is going back to the first Mortal Kombat tournament, I don’t like how they did my boy Takeda. A telepathic that trained under the Shirai Ryu?! That’s some main character shit! But, they just off-ed my guy like he wasn’t cold. Btw one of the top 10 fatalities ever.
Bro, Takeda deserved SO much better
How did Takeda die in aftermath?
@@ilidot5892 he didn't die he just doesn't exist anymore, if that makes sense.
@@ilidot5892 he didn't taekada isn't in the story anymore he went somewhere with his dad kenshi I THINK! but other than that he's not in mk anymore
It's kinda fucked since they seemed to be planning something by including Taven
I feel like mortal kombat needs an anime
HELL yeah. Mortal Kombat been needed an anime to explain all this better than I can lol
YESS I'd love it so much they're making a new mortal kombat movie tho hyped for that
A Mortal Kombat anime? Sounds so freaking cool
Theres a scorpion anime movie. Shits amazing
Thought it had one
Arkham series, I think that would be hilarious, like “joker be wild in the streets”
Yeah that will covered once I take this short break from the long game plots
I was just about to comment that so happy my boi bats might get one
I'd watch that
@@TheBlackMastadonte can you do mortal Kombat 1 sir?
Concience is kinda right Raiden was kinda dragging the team Can you do kiryu from the yakuza series
Facts! And i plan to after a break from the long stories
@@TheBlackMastadonte ayt fam keep up the good work thou
Random thought: Tilda Swinton should be Kronika in the live action MK films
Side note: In the original timeline, Kitana somehow managed to survive the events of Armageddon, fought buffed Shao Khan, beat's him, saved Edenia and all realms, the end. Of course, that doesn't happen because Raiden changed the past and changed it for the worse. Well at least for Kitana.
Wait WHAT?! That's fire!!
@@TheBlackMastadonte Just take a look at Kitana's arcade ending in MortalKombat 10 and you will see what I mean.
@@alexandrpeterberg390 arcade ending don’t really count tho
@@jakedasnake0764 Maybe not but it's interesting to see that Kitana could be the one to stop Shao Khan (now being a god) if Raiden did not change the past. Just saying.
@@alexandrpeterberg390character endings are no longer canon unless referenced or outright stated in story mode like Johnny’s ending or Smoke’s from MK9. Can’t remember all of the X ones but I think none of them are canon. Kitana’s in particular can’t be because she has like a ghost Jade in hers but in 11 we are shown Jade is still a revenant. Then there’s MK11 where again no ending is canon. Also in MK9’s opening, we see Kitana on the ground next to Lao. Now granted she isn’t fully shown, just her arm so I guess there it could be possible that she isn’t dead.
The advantage of having "The great Kung Lao" in MK12 is that it creates the opportunity to introduce Siro "THE GREATEST MORTAL KOMBAT CHARACTER" to the MK games.
Aftermath taught me is that it’s on site for Shang Tsung. They barely let that man speak before throwing hands 🤣

Liu Kang now is the most broken character in MK, right? He has the same kind of soul absorption as Shang Tsung, Fused with Raiden becoming a god of Fire and Lightining in the process and also fused with another Liu Kang by absorbing it's soul.
He's the MK analog for Bruce Lee, dude. He's been one of the most busted characters since day one.
That would be pretty lit if they started all the way from the beginning. Like if they did the great Kung lao but like made it like deception . Only get to learn about the elder gods do some side quests all that stuff. I think that would awesome
10:02 Im pretty sure The reason Johnny can beat those two is that the Revenant forms of these characters are not as strong as the normal versions. Or it could be that during the two years between MK9 and MKX Johnny got proper training and became less cocky
I've watched a lot of full story / timeline videos but your constant reminder of your hatred for Raiden made this one unique ND hilarious! The entire video was full of great quips that made this video, in my opinion, the best out there.
Kronika technically wasn't evil she was a pissed off mother 😂
Indeed
Nah she's evil,it's the fact that she was manipulating and playing with people's lives(including her own kids,shinnok and cetrion)without their knowledge and resetting time multiple times just to screw with raiden(keep in mind already happened before raiden even cut shinnok's head off)
@@SupportGamin2024 well she's the titan of time it's kinda her responsibility or domain to control time. She was pissed cause Raiden kept undoing what she was doing.
@@diamantemrobinson what she was doing was the problem and she was manipulating them to join her "new era" no one wants that we like the klassic mk not a new era so she is evil
Man, I love it when u guys get in an argument. It’s hilarious 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Lol thank you
Wow, just wow. Took me 5 minutes in to realize the inflection and cadence of the voice was the same and just one you. A+ for thoroughness and speed. Lol watched it all and I still am like wtf is going on in this timeline? Great video. I’ll watch more.
Thanks fam. Sorry for how fast I talk
That was incredible. The lore breakdown on its own was exactly what I was hoping for, but I really appreciate that ending. Having things like video games, films, comics, etc. to escape to is necessary, but we always need to bring it back to what matters.
A great Kung Lao story would be great btw this rly helped my understanding of mk
“Play that intro Son!!” 🔥
Thank you for using your platform to educate in a positive manner my man. I clicked on a mk lore video just for the hell of it and out of nowhere your message at the end made my day. Keep up the good work dog. You should be proud
Thanks so much fam
About time, you gave me my session in handsology. Missed you ubro, keep it up.
Thanks bro
I really want a MK Shaolin Monks sequel based on this new timeline
While that would be cool,it wouldn't be a sequel,if it's set in a different timeline
Yeah. A canon version this time though
@@SupportGamin2024 true
I cant look sindel in the eyes or the back. This quarantine is getting to me
Lmao
I like to believe that Shang Tsung's ending is canon because now we will be forced to play as everyone from Orderrealm, Chaosrealm and all the other realms
That would be hella interesting
Liu Kang era story is done, I guess they'll go 500 years prior from the main storyline to The Great Kung Lao changing the future because I'm assuming God Liu Kang will train Kung Lao to win against Goto, Shang Tsung and Shao Khan. At least he'd be a better guide than Raiden lol.
Kronika should’ve recruited conscience 😂😂 Edit: That piece at the end really meant a lot bronem❗️Stay up young king 🙏🏾❤️
Lmao Conscience would've had the whole game on lock. And appreciate you bro. It needed to be said.
21:17 “ now is when we start getting to the twists!” You said that while a tornado was happening, I see what you did there.😏🌪
Lmao that was completely by accident too
Man, I was looking for an explanation of what the hell was going on in this universe and I got it. Great video, but goddamn it’s gonna be tricky to write fanfic for this universe
I love these. They have me rollen. Conscious is the best.
Glad you like them
They got these games down to a formula. Lui Kang beats Shao Kahn, Shao Kahn invades anyway, everyone dies except Raiden, Lui Lang turns evil, time travel shenanigans, repeat.
Yyyyup
2:34 We all hated past Raiden😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬💣🎆
Facts
This was a great video. You explained everything so good. You should do this with more games lore
Thanks bro. I actually have a whole 37 episodes full of this stuff on the channel if you wanna check it out
I can't wait to see it. I bet it's going to be great as always.
This is why I fuck with you, Donte. You legit exposed all of the issues with this story by running through it. They catered so much to self bias, fan bias, and plot devices that they completely lost control of the narrative. In the end, what did we even learn? You had Conscience exposing these sorts of problems and it was *BRILLIANT* writing on your part. I don't even know how they write Lu Kang a win against Titan Shang Tsung. I mean, dude is even more powerful than the only Titan in the story up until that point. There never should've been a scenario that anyone could've won simply because of her existence being what it was. If someone kills the Titan of Time without replacing her, *nothing* can exist. She's time itself; the very fiber of it. And then, how could she be so stupid as to reorchestrate the same events that would lead to her being found out or let them do what it was they set out to do in the first place? It's not like she couldn't see it happening and prevent it. I would've made Khronika completely amoral. She exists because she is and she omnipotent. Things happen as they may, with or without her interference. It's up to everyone beneath her to figure out the way forward. When they inevitably blamed her for everything and marched on her throne, she would give them a quick history lesson and then banish them without even needing to rise to her feet. And every bit of time travel they did would be fruitless because The Grand Father Paradox. That's why. What makes this work is the mechanics of the narrative itself. They'll be caught in a loop, as they need to figure out how to break the cycle. Each time they aim for Khronika, they'll fail and be sent back. That makes for more MK games until they decide the characters are all no longer idiots, and they finally end the series with the moral of the story. And the rather complex moral of the story would be deep: _Not all fights can be won, but they can be changed. Sometimes things are simply what they are and cannot be changed. Of those that can, however, appreciate the opportunity given to do so. Unlike the characters in this story, not everyone gets a second chance. Be forward thinking._
The duality of your narrating is so dope!!
I'm actually so early the premier hasn't even started yet. I cant remember the last time that happened
Thanks for stopping by so early bro
Thank you for this energy. Because NOTHING will stop me from shitting on Raiden either
this is hands down my favorite episode of the series
first time watchhing video from you guys and I love it. Good bro energy and everything
I love how y’all tell the story. Great video 💕

Half dragon half hands Hilarious bro
Lmao thanks bro
Thank you for giving the old Canon some love as well.
Of course
I've been a fan of Mortal Kombat for a super long time now, but I never got involved with the story for some reason. Then I get so confused as to why the characters look different, or why someone's dead. I'm just now seeing the Mortal Kombat story, and holy sh*t this is one heck of a series
I needed a quick recap for Mortal Kombat ty
Anytime bro
I just want a bunch of new characters and a BIG roster of characters like there was in Armageddon. (Basicly every character ever and new ones)
Facts. Armageddon was so lit I think deception was my favorite mk game though
@@deadbody6112 Deception for the Konquest, Armageddon for the crazy matchups and Kreate a Kombatant.
I subscribed for the intro, fr I already came here for this story darn it
They will have to use legacy characters so I'm guessing that somehow kung lao will be sent to the future and have to fight his way back to the past.

Intro song alone earns a like! 🤩
I always jam to the intro. Never gets less lit 🔥
His intro reminds me of Cowboy Bebop’s opening, though I suspect that Mastadonte watched the anime and based his intro off of it.
ok so i just found this channel and i'm in love
My first time watching your channel and I’m a fan. Definitely gonna sub
Aww shoot. Thanks so much fam. Appreciate the support.
ayo. I love your vids man keep up the good work. Negativity; can't have that is something you have helped me understand. Love your vids man
DOPE! I'm so happy ya'll are getting the positive messages in these videos
"Raiden got promoted to elder God, to be useless somewhere else" 😂😭😂😂
villian pulls up raiden: i need a team
Yes this is what I want this is beautiful

I love it I can listen to the videos all day and never get bored
Thanks for letting me know bro. And thanks for watching
great storytelling Mastadon
Was skeptical at first due to the length of the vid, thinking it wouldn’t be long enough but the talking speed is on the level of an Elder God
It's crazy that this guy unknowingly predicted where the new MK is going . 2 whole years ago . Good job my guy
great vid! respect. been a fan since the original in the arcade:)
Cool content dudes. Is there any reason you guys speak at Kabal speeds? I had to rewind a few times cause I couldn’t understand lol.
Donte I see dem locs dropping boi keep up the good work
Thanks bro
Damn. This is a long ass franchise. This is lit Mastadonte
What about Jonny Cage punching Goro in the balls? The single most important part of MK lore XD. Great vid, and BLACK LIVES MATTER
your so underrated nice video
Kung Lao storyline would be lit!! Also, great ending message!! ✊🏽
Appreciate it bro
I was expecting raiden bashing and it got delivered in spades
It's inarguably deserved so oh well
You know i gotta deliver that good ole Raiden bashing
For being a so called god. Raiden makes the most dumbest decisions, one in his position can make. Cool video on the history of MK timelines.
24:07 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆 DOPE.
I loved the old games. This video makes me feel like mk went wwe
This whole time i thought Radian was the OG badass guy, but damn my mans need to goo. Soo many time loops yo, but it looks like the end of MK11 its kinda like a fresh start
At the start of this video I was ready to compare Raiden to Supreme Kai, but after learning how Subzero Qui Li Yang became a cyborg in MK 10,(or was it 11?) I retract that notion. Because Supreme Kai had some blunders but none THAT bad. That and the cryptic "He must win" message from future Raiden.
Conscience is da man XD love these guys love this channel
Thanks bro
I really do like how they rebooted the series while still keeping the former timeline canon.
I really want to give your conscience the hands.(lol!! but at the same time it is starting to get old) Raiden at least redeemed himself in mk11. I don't know if you are planning to do this one but it will be nice if you do master chef.
Hey I'm a 245 lb brown man that benches twice my body weight and I KNOW I don't want those hands ( either do you sirXD )
IN MK12 I definitely want to play as The Great Kung Lao with the help of Fire God Liu Kang and you play the original MK tournament and learn about the Elder Gods, the Titans, The One Being, and any other ultra powerful entity in the MK universe we dont know about yet
Great run down. Trilogy was my favorite game roster.
Thanks bro
I would wanna see you cover Persona cuz I've been on a Persona binge for the past 2 months
Eh, the sindel being bad plot twist wasn't unexpected. In her MK9 ending, we were told that she killed her husband and loved power. Even tho Ermac's ending from MK9 contradicts this because it was revealed that the soul of Sindel's first husband won over all the souls inside of ermac and sindel made him the king of Edenia, together with Kitana. So idk
your anger towards Raiden takes over the entire video lol
Another awesome video honestly I don't know why people tht just react to some stupid videos have millions but my man dochi is still not 100k cmon people sub to this hard working guy
Haha thanks bro
Wow Raiden thinking smart without the god powers
It's like his godhood was taken away then he started thinking for once lmao
Must be here to oversee the success of this channel😌
Appreciate it bro
MK XII The Great Kung Lao...the very first Earthrealm tournament. Yes. Or/also what about the Edenian MK tournament?? That’d be cool as a side shoot game, all new characters (Edenians) and of course Sindel and King Jerrod. Shao Kahn victorious as canon would be awesome to play through in a game.
The slander on Raiden in this video is so personal 😂😂😂
This channel is so good
Ok so even though this Aftermath DLC is great, I would have preferred if they just ended it with Liu Kang and Kitana. Whole point of Liu Kang becoming the new protector is to do things differently from Raiden, but Aftermath makes him too much like Raiden.
Yeaaaah. And the Sindel thing was annoying
Liu kang as a keeper of time and elder god is baddass tho
haven't seen this guy for over about since the begining.
Could you do Rico Rodriguez from just cause? No one really talks about that beast of a character anymore.
Bruh; I get why conscience is the one who demanded we "Play that intro, son..." He wanted to get the keys to the Tank! so he could roll over Raiden with it again ...and again ...and again... Also - "Beat the God out of him" wtf-that's almost a T-shirt. Like - too much shade from ppl seeing that out of context, but damn that shit's funny! I mean - a "Fuck Raiden, son!" T might be dope. I love the sentence "And since he can't kill him, he beheads him." "One does not simply 'beat' the ruler of Outwold." This was not low key, but full on dope. Last minute or not; just plain dope.
Thanks bro
