It's nice to see a different sort of bond between Kung Lao and Raiden than he had with Liu Kang in the last timeline. Liu Kang is like... literally the chosen one and seemingly perfect except for maybe a bit of a temper. Whereas Mortal Raiden genuinely seems to have some confidence issues and could use a hype man like Kung Lao

You're right. He's still obnoxiously arrogant to me though despite that. If you began playing the games only in the last 12 years, then this Kung Lao is probably the best you've ever seen. But to me, who's had Kung Lao since he was 4 years old, he's still an insulting parody. More likable this time? Yes. *My* Kung Lao? No.

@@fangsabreAgreed! I honestly can’t believe how good of a job they did in giving personality to the characters in MK1. I either actively disliked or didn't care at all about like half MK11's cast, especially hating the special forces and I thought the ninjas were ultra generic and wooden. But in MK1 they have soooooo much more personality, primarily from significantly better writing but also helped by absolutely phenomenal voice actors (...outsude of Nitara :/) and surprisingly truly excellent facial animations. There's so many little details that I love too-- like how Johnny legitimately has a PhD in quantum mechanics and how in this video Kung Lao genuinely believes Raiden should like himself more and he clearly views Raiden as a true friend. Love what they've done with MK1-- they've even managed to give Liu Kang a bit of a personality which I thought impossible!

No, confidence and arrogance as very different. And Kung Lao, despite Shujinko, *is arrogant.* Raiden should have been given Kung Lao's personality honestly. Confidence is being okay with living someone's shadow, despite being equally powerful. Confidence is not making cheap jokes, not yearning for violence, and it's certainly not bragging about your hat. You sound like someone who's learning from pick up "artists" and Machiavellian Dark Triad philosophy. And that ain't it bro, trust me.

"Rage fueled Kung Lao's thirst for revenge. The memory of holding his fellow monk's broken body on the lei tai of the Wu Shi Academy grounds consumed him as he rained blow after blow upon Shang Tsung. Kung Lao had finally mastered the attack Bo' Rai Cho had taught him. The sorcerer could not withstand his whirlwind assault. Shang Tsung begged for mercy. Kung Lao granted him none. Upon his return to Earthrealm, Kung Lao stood before the modest shrine to Liu Kang, which had been erected by the Wu Shi initiates during his absence in Outworld. He lit a stick of incense and placed it among the others already burning there. He bowed his head and prayed for safe passage to the afterlife for his friend and brother. With Shang Tsung's death, Liu Kang's spirit could finally rest peacefully. Earthrealm was safe once more, but at terrible cost. The work of the White Lotus society had become more important than ever." That is Kung Lao.
