[@georgecortes3416]

Yeah, it’s unexpected, given Lou Kang’s character, but don’t forget, a certain Thunder God did the exact same thing back in MK (2011), except Liu Kang knows that if he wins, the Hourglass will be his friends’ “Get Out of Death Free Card.” And plus, being that Shang Tsung is the only one besides Liu Kang who can use the soul-imbued Crown means that Liu Kang HAD to let Shang Tsung win, or the plan would go to shambles and they’d be back to square one.

MK 1 villain will almost definitely be Onaga, it was teased in a trailer and Havik along with other characters from MK Deception have a spotlight in the story. Shang Tsung is the preorder character so we'll be lucky if he even shows up in the story mode. Maybe if they do an expansion like Aftermath he'll be in the story but I doubt when the game launches he'll be anything more than a DLC character.

I think what really sold this scene for me was the complete look of fear in Shang's eyes: that sudden strong realization that there are no more second chances, no more bargains, no more tricks to be had - his life, even though he definitely didn't want it to be, was coming to a final abrupt end - and above all, he would die without anything to show for it when Liu Kang resets the timeline again; that look spoke more than any one line could have said. My only complaint is that Shang Tsung didn't use every move he had in his arsenal: Ground Eruption, Fire Skull, Screaming Soul, Shapeshifter's Training (the ninja moves) and others to ultimately fight Liu Kang with; Shang should have known that the chosen one was not to be underestimated, especially when he achieved godhood and beat Kronika with that power.

[@KingShibe]

Well he's back now

[@Mii...]

You described perfectly what that scene was. It spoke much louder than any sentence could've. For once, shang reminded us and himself of his humanity, and we get to see it when the despair and fear hits him, as he realizes this is it. For eternity. The best part was the soft "no, no" that he said, almost as if he's trying to deny what's happening and doesn't want to believe it's over for him. His existence now is only flowing through words and peoples memories, but nothing of him remains in the universe, not even the damage he did in the world. He's gone and he's just now a memory. It's a little sad when you think about it on his part and it kinda made me feel sorry for him, but considering all he's done, he deserved every second of that. Probably one of the few best scenes in the game and of course great performance from cary, yet again.

Beautiful moment with Kung Lao paying respect to Liu Kang, who to him is this powerful transcendent being that has called himself the god of Thunder and fire. As he bows his head, he does not see the homage he is receiving in return, for this god was at one point and in some ways still is, his descendant.

He added a certain depth to the character that made his personality and demeanor unique, a little mysterious, sneaky, malicious, cold, calm, calculated and of course a manipulator. He brought this character to life with his portrayal. That's why there's no other version of shang that outmatches Cary in Mk11 and in the first movie. Not even Mk1 Shang could match up to Mk11 Shang's design and demeanor. Probably one of the few reasons why I liked Mk11. Also Mk11 shao kahn had the best design aswell compared to Mk1.

[@MaliceTheCommentator]

I think it's very fitting that when given the chance, Liu Kang chose to go back and train Kung Lao himself so that his best friend didn't have to feel inferior and become bitter like he did. He truly came to him so that he didn't need to compare himself to Liu Kang because Liu Kang is the one training him to become as strong as possible

Things really came full circle in this story, with the exception of the disappointing Sindel retcon. It ended how it started - with Liu Kang vs Shang Tsung. I hate how they downgraded/downplayed Shao Kahn, Shinnok, and other bosses throughout the series, but they had some great concepts. If the series ended here, I wouldn't be mad. If they made an MK-12, I think the franchise would need a complete makeover.

[@Salmagros]

I thinks that's the reason they make this ending. It's open a whole new level of possibility for the game.

This ending fits well with a longtime theory of mine-after mk11 and its expansions, i predict Netherrealm will create a “MK Legends” game centered on earlier tournaments before the modern era. Youd see the great kung lao, a young goro, a much younger sindel, and other age old characters.

[@wally4087]

Younger sindel better not be the thot that she is in this timeline. NRS better correct her retcon in the next game

[@SupportGamin2024]

Sindel would've been dead around the time the tournament with the great kung lao happens

[@theshermantanker7043]

@@wally4087 She probably will be the same; I'm confident Liu Kang didn't touch anything else in the timeline besides making Kung Lao the chosen one in the past, he likely just restored it back to where it was after that

[@shawziiz5031]

Not exactly. Blaze is confirm to be more powerful than Onaga (Ed Boon state during Armageddon promo that Blaze was "at the top of the food chain" during that time). Kronika didn't even bother to bring Blaze back. Is not about which villain is stronger to aid Kronika, is about who Kronika saw can help Shinnok and Cetrion become the ultimate good vs evil aka eternal balance

We most definitely see him. It looks like were heading the Mortal Kombat tournament where the great Kung Lao died. Is so we're going to see him fight Goro, and if he ends up winning, he has to fight Shang Tsung. It looks like there rebooting the series and replacing Lui Kang and Raiden with Kung Lao and Lui Kang as a god.

[@SorenDaein]

There's something VERY poetic about Shang Tsung's death in this clip. He was cursed by the Elder Gods to rapidly age until his untimely demise for cheating in the Mortal Kombat tournament with the only means of staving it off being to steal the souls of his victims. Tsung gains Kronika's Crown and absorbs her power to circumvent that and bend the universe to his will but ends up being turned to dust before he could even get started by his adversary who had attained godhood. Fire God Liu Kang was right about Shang Tsung choosing that fate. Anything related to Tsung most likely gets curtailed when Liu Kang restarted time and created a better timeline. Surprised the Great Kung Lao finally gets some screentime here. It was his death by Goro's hand that started Earthrealm's losing streak in the Mortal Kombat tournament. With Liu Kang's training, there's no doubt in my mind the outcome will be different. Which in turn would change a number of things. Wouldn't be surprised if Shinnok and Cetrion never existed in Liu Kang's New Era due to the fact they were Kronika's ill begotten children. No Shinnok also means no Quan Chi to worship him which also means no Shirai Ryu massacre.

[@Mii...]

Shang's death was poetic. But I still find it crazy how the Elder Gods cursed one man just for cheating and by doing that they caused a lot of harm to be done because THEIR curse on him. Like why curse him to steal souls? That just sounds villainous. Elder Gods aren't the smartest lol.
