You got to give him credit for that, his upgrade is truly self-taught, Raiden's lightning powers and Kenshi's Sento were pre-existing powers.

[@HeliumHelios]

Knowing most if not all kung lao has similar weapon of choice throughout various timelines, it really asks you if the choice was predestined.

[@OceansBane]

@@HeliumHelios maybe as part of the great Kung Lao’s bloodline, it is their ability to craft their powers.

I mean, Raiden got his shortly after this but I get your point.

I like how Kung Lao might be upset that he lost, but he still accepts it and gives congratulations to Raiden on his victory. Being able to accept defeat means Kung Lao has a chance to grow further.

I like how you can see Cage record Kung Lao when he brings his bladed hat. Cage was really getting inspiration every chance he got. Also, makes sense how a lot of Kung Lao’s abilities were naturally self taught considering he defeated pretty much everyone in MK9. However, his victory got the better of him against Shao Khan. Nice to see his pride is stillas strong as ever.

[@JF59122]

I want to see some strong character development for him in the story expansion.

[@masterknight07]

[@sagitta9891]

He really inherited his great ancestors craftsmanship. He made the jade statue and here Kung Lao with his hat.

Hmm, the foreshadowing. Kenshi: Bet me Sento. Johnny: Not on your life. Later Johnny: You saved my life. It’s yours.

[@stealingbacktime590]

6:30 "Then may the the best person win." They just so had to CURRENT YEAR this. Why not "may the best win." You didn't have to say man but saying person shows the word man was intentionally omitted. Figures, the last movie they left out Johnny Cage because they were so woke, they refused to write dialog for a straight white male that is literally an arrogant and misogynistic parody of an 80s action star. He was endearing comic relief, now just a side joke. His generation wouldn't be videoing.

Well the Kung Lao we know has an ego problem and it’s weird to have your chosen one have that trait. That’s why they showed the first Kung Lao was chosen one in the end of the 11.

Ngl, the way Kung Lao says "it is GENIUS raiden".

[@vanthadoun1]

Gotta give the script writers for MK1 credit, there were alot of character origin and plotpoints that were explained and went into more detail. Thank God these writers didn't go on strike like the Hollywood ones, and I can almost guarantee they don't get paid as much as the Hollywood writers! (Just my honest opinion)

[@chestbumphero]

I would say they didn’t go on strike because this game has been cooking for a good few years now. If anything I’d say they had about 85-90% of the game done by the time of the strikes

[@persondavis1294]

Agree but I will say its human nature to feel resentment when something unfair is happening even when u have it good; so im not surprised about the strike, but I wonder if this is a chance for newer writers to get in.
