MK1 - Characters Fall for Conan's Barbaric Charm

[@legionaireb]

The idea that Conan has not only _seen_ Johnny Cage's movies, but _appreciates_ them tickles me to no end.

[@ShatteredGlass916]

"He's a poet at heart" And with that kind of respect as well? Damn Johnny 😂😂

[@MystMagus]

In the very first Conan story he gets wounded in an assassination attempt because he hesitates to kill a poet that is part of the plot because he respects his art despite the poet being opposed to his rule.

[@Box-Chan]

They’re somehow good enough to get Tremor to enjoy them too

Yes cuz he's a great warrior

[@ShadowknightEX]

It’s rare we get a genuinely heroic character as a guest in Mortal Kombat. Rambo, and Kratos, (maybe Peacemaker) if you want to stretch the definition. It seems fitting that they are shown respect

[@neme2877]

@ Yeah, and immediately suspected that the only characters truely respect him will be Shao and Reiko, but it seems like I was wrong.

[@neme2877]

[@ianfinrir8724]

Conan canonically has an appreciation for the arts.

If Doomslayer gets in MK1, he will probably also respect Conan. The other MK characters will probably also respect Doom Link.

Conan is an old legend from the 30s, the characters some of these characters are based on probably have some Conan or Kull inspiration in them.

[@Kardia_of_Rhodes]

I feel like Conan And Shao Kahn have the biggest 'love-hate' relationship.

[@RomuloTheBrazilian]

Both are revered in the battlefield, but are somewhat of moral opposites of each other

[@Angie2343]

Agreed. Both are well-muscled warriors.

[@sinteleon]

Also both are leaders, so inevitably they cannot co-exist.

[@maxi1ification]

If nothing else, they respect and understand each other as warriors and warlords. Everything else though... yeah... although current Shao isn't that big of a bad guy compared to the old one

[@Stronghand-yw1lk]

It's the mutual respect shared among true warriors on the field.

[@loganwithlightsabers3051]

I wasn’t all that enthusiastic about any of the characters in KP2 but now I gotta admit Conan is a worthy edition the world he’s from is pretty similar to Outworld

theres so many bad guy guest characters its rare to see heros like conan and rambo as hero guest characters in this game. its very nice

1:00 _Goddammit, Johnny._ 😂 Still, it is oddly heartwarming to see Conan get along with him so well. "He's a poet at heart." Reminds me of this one story of Conan's, where he couldn't stop admiring the singing skills of a certain bard character, even though he was a traitorous rat.
