Who is the BEST CHARACTER?!

[@susiechavez1142]

Johnny cage

[@rosyrodriguez4220]

Scorpion ❤

[@theamazingg3773]

I mean scorpion is kinda the classic

[@G59METH]

Seb

[@families9654]

Johnny cage and sonya

[@CedricBassman]

Shang Tsungs mistake was sending a giant reptile to kill a Australian. And the dude who played Kano was hands down the best part of the Movie.

[@dejatwixt9214]

also was the pharmacist in the tv store 'superstore'

[@williamrosmer5629]

i heard kano's actor broke his back from carrying this movie

[@plaguedoctor5657]

Bro Kung Lao was the closest representation of an MK character we’ve ever had!!!

[@sushijuice6895]

nah G, Sub Zero is from a rival gang. him and Scorpion were never brothers or friends. thats why they're always put against each other in the games

One of the dumbest things is the whole “chosen” aspect. Like Raiden is like “Sonya, I know you are an amazing fighter. However you didn’t kill some random other person so you can’t fight. However this other guy got drunk and ran over a champion killing him, so he is now a chosen fighter.”

[@djcantskate3883]

I mean it works like an invitation. You can be the funnest person you know but if you don’t get invited to the party anyways what does it matter. It’s not that crazy. Kill someone with an invite to earn one of your own

[@vgautamkrishna5197]

true

[@Dwayne__Jay]

They finished filming the second one a few months ago and it’s slated for an October 2025 release. A lot more characters are expected to be in it too. I’m hype!!!

[@rodgill9376]

[@fashionablechangeling1988]

Cole Young's power is literal plot armour

[@Switchblade131284]

Hiroyuki Sanada is the actor who plays Scorpion. He mostly plays 'samurai' type parts in a wide range of movie genres. Movies he's been in that you may have seen include 'Avengers: Endgame' (japanese mob boss fighting Hawkeye/Ronin in Japan), 'The Last Samurai' (samurai who first hates then warms to Tom Cruise's character) and 'The Wolverine' (fights Logan with samurai swords in the japanese home). He's also in the current FX/Disney+ show 'Shogun'.

[@joshgonzalez4898]

Yesssss. He also came out in the first season for the TV show called Revenge and he would sword fight there too.

[@Sundowner13]

Something I want to mention is that Jax only looses his arms because of sub zero in this movie, in the games they get ripped off by ermac, a character with telekinesis

[@bryangarcia5207]

He looses his arms specifically in the second timeline by Ermac. In the original timeline he didn't loose them but instead willingly got them replaced.

[@Sundowner13]

@@bryangarcia5207 I know, him losing them in battle is better tho imo

[@JMotion]

You watching this movie is basically how I was watching Sonic the Hedgehog 2. When you have a deep seeded love of something you grew up with, it just feels so insanely gratifying and entertaining to see it brought to life so well on the big screen. Do not apologise for enjoying a movie in that way.

[@rodgill9376]

Oh… one last thing. Nitara, the vampire looking chick is from Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. Reiko, the big dude with the hammer is from Mortal Kombat 4. These characters are among the less popular but they still have a surprisingly cult following among their fans.

[@thejamppa]

Cool to know. I once upon a time spend countless hours on my SNES just beating Mortal Kombat 2. I recently got Mortal Kombat 11 cheaply on my Xbox but I haven't had proper time to play it so I was bit lost some characters (well anyone not in MK2 :) )

[@dejatwixt9214]

Both are in MK1 (the reboot) again.

[@crimsonknight7011]

Now we need Hsu Hao.

[@Ausecko1]

I was wondering when I stopped playing, apparently 3 was my last MK

[@h23erst923]

Please also watch the old movies! Yes they are cheesy by today's standards, but they opened the world to video game adaptions into films. They MADE it a thing and they are worth watching!

[@NavsangeetSingh]

The first one is still pretty decent. The second one was bad even by 90s standards.

[@djcantskate3883]

I think them noting that sub zero was talking to the Hasashi’s in Japanese at the start was to show his intelligence cuz his clan is Chinese so it’s like this mf knows our language too, he’s a threat threat

[@kingpin1982]

I thought is was because Subzero speaks Japanese and Scorpion speaks Chinese.

[@djcantskate3883]

@@kingpin1982 Hanzo Hasashi is a Japanese name. They note he talks in Japanese too

[@thecontinent9192]

That hype Seb has is exactly how hype I was watching this film lol also I like the story being told thru a new character because the different perspective. And also him being Scorpion’s descendent.

[@RRGames09]

Also second info comment. Hanzo is the human form of scorpion. In the lore he comes home to find his family dead and sub zero didnt spare him either. However, (this part might have changed or it may just not have been revealed yet revealed) he came back to life as a spectre for quan chi. So he became a force from the netherrealm (the equivalent of hell) and basically thats when he got fire powers. He is still technically dead bc he is a spectre but also alive. Thats how he became scorpion.

[@riccyblue7744]

To answer your question abt his armor being like blank panther. The answer is yes. It’s called “plot armor”

[@gallifrey6494]

was looking to see if anyone had said this cause I was thinking the same damn thing!

[@crimsonknight7011]

It’s so funny that his power is Actual plot armor.

[@cory6266]

It's called a reference to the start of the movie where his manager tells him he eats way too many hits, so eating hits became his power.

[@rodgill9376]

And out of all of the characters in the movie, I loved Kung Lao the most. His costume, his personality, his fighting style and fatalities are all very lore accurate and the actor even kind of looks like the character. Plus, his musical theme is sick too. But I also have to give credit to Kabal too. His costume and mask is so dope looking. Dude looks like a straight up badass. They got his superhuman speed correct and his hookswords is cool too!

[@Tallyhawk9]

Putting the language in brackets in the closed captioning is for people who have hearing issues (perhaps even deaf people). They can't hear that they're speaking in Japanese as they read the English subtitles. So, without the "[Japanese]" in the closed captioning, they would have no idea the characters weren't actually speaking English. It helps them pick up on more of the movie's details and character

[@Sportler84]

Nah, it was only done to show that Bi Han speaks Chinese and then Japanese. For other Japanese talks, it wasn't added.

[@FurryStockings]

Joe Taslim's Sub Zero, I want that for MK1, I want this Sub Zero in the damn game and then I'll be happy lol he's basically as evil in the movie as he eventually becomes in the game too.

[@lcarnate91]

Seb I reacted the same as you in the theaters when I saw this movie. I to grew up playing all the mortal games. This was literally a homage to the hardcore fans. 2025 next year Mortal Kombat 2 is coming out it was confirmed last week.

[@isaiahadams1208]

Here’s a couple of fun facts: - Cole Young (Scorpion’s descendant) is a completely original character. -The actor playing as Scorpion, Hiroyuki Sanada previously played in Rush Hour 3

[@koza6371]

Bro i remember watching the first mortal kombat movie for the first time back in the days.. Goofy af, that's for sure, but every time the mortal kombat theme starts playing, i just got up pretending im fighting someone lmao

[@UBN2nozyb]

I highly recommend reacting to the Saban's Power Rangers Movie from 2017. staring Ludi Lin who played Liu Kang in live-action Mortal Komat , Dacre Montgomery who played Billy in stranger things, Naomi Scott who played Jasmine in the live-action Aladdin movie, Bryan Cranston who played Walter White in Breaking Bad, and Elisabeth Banks who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games.

[@ryanmalarik4398]

PLEASE!!!!

[@acdcguy18]

A foreshadow (if you want to call it that) I really enjoyed is when Sub Zero removes his armour at the end looking a lot like Noob.

[@Maratonkata]

Hiroyuki Sanada is one of the best actors of our generation and i don't even care. He is born to play such a role (Samurai). Most of his roles are like this and i love it. Top tier cast not only for Scorpion, but same goes for Sub-Zero, Jax, Milena and Kano. Kano was phenomenal performance btw. Mortal Kombat 2 is in the making also, so i hope they show us Kitana and Shao Khan. The movie is definetly good and i enjoyed it a lot.

30:38 In the latest game (Mortal Kombat 1) Liu Kang becomes the new Raiden as in like the protector of Earth and Raiden becomes a competitor/student of the tournament. To simplify they both just switch places.

17:10 Seb just cracked himself up 😂

[@tytannerwilson]

Yes you definitely need to watch the first 2 movies!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@FurryStockings]

Lewis Tan's character, Cole is completely original for the movie, and he honestly feels too generic. Nitara is a vampire character who first appeared in MK: Deadly Alliance, Reiko was introduced in MK 4, both characters reappear in the latest game Mortal Kombat 1, Nitara is voiced by megan fox and not very good at all.

[@ldnvibereacts]

[@warriorpredator128]

What a plot twist! I was expecting seb to release his movie reaction of pacific rim uprising before this (he made a post of his opinion on uprising a day ago and because of that i didn't expect him to release anything else before that)

[@WeirdBoy10]

Mortal Kombat 2020 is actually a different universe, so it has a different backstory!

[@rodgill9376]

One of my favorite parts of the movie is the soundtrack. I’ve heard it countless times and never get bored. The Techno Syndrome theme is played almost all the time and I love how consistent it is. But the music also has hints of IT chapters 1 and 2, The Invisible Man and Hellboy in the mix too. With the sequel coming out next year, hopefully Benjamin Wallfisch can do the music again. He’s one of my favorite all time composers!

[@tasmirmajoka4138]

[@narukamishirou284]

8:44 to answer that as someone who used to learn parkour: "YES. ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY" you have no idea how much relieving to your Tibia bone it is to roll after jumping even from that height. The roll really helps lessen the impact to your feet and legs and makes it easier to quickly stand up right afterwards

i have never in my life been more hyped for a youtube video i LOVE this film EDIT: 34:08 yeah i was more hyped for this then any marvel, F&F or anything else

[@Rabidpygmy]

The original mortal combat is done as an actual tournament, the woman they had for Sonya is beautiful, but it’s painfully obvious she doesn’t even know how to punch right. But I think you’d love some of the fights, particularly the one against Goru. They put out a second that brought in the others, got a woman who knows how to fight for Sonya, and Raiden is replaced too. The second one is great for some of the fights & is against the emperor. The music from the first movie though? SO good! You should check out the soundtrack for that :) Great reaction!

The one thing a lot of people don't see in the end fight is how Sub-Zero's blue clothing is slowly being removed or destroyed, leaving him only wearing black which is a precursor to him becoming Noob Saibot. Especially with what Shang Tsung says at the end of the movie.
