00:00The new Mortal Kombat trailer simply confirmed it.
00:02The next movie will mix the MK1, MK2, and MK3 games.
00:06In a completely different way that you've never seen before.
00:09New characters, the dead rising, betrayals
00:12And there's even a detail that confirms who the villain will be in movie 3.
00:15So get ready because today we're going to dissect every character, setting, and theory from this trailer that got everyone excited.
00:26Okay, so let's start with the new characters that appear in the trailer.
00:29So, Johnny Cage, Kitana, Sindel, King Jared, Shao Kahn
00:33A classic mask, but it's...
00:36And I think it's cool that there's a scene in the trailer where Kitana attacks him with her fan.
00:40So maybe during the movie the mask doesn't end up exactly the way it started.
00:45Jade, Noob Saibot, Baraka and Quan Chi
00:48Quan Chi will make a very subtle appearance, and that's already a hook for us to talk about who's returning.
00:53in this movie
00:53Kung Lao and Keino, they died in MK1.
00:56But they return because Quan Chi resurrects him.
00:58Quan Chi will even appear in the scene behind Keino's resurrection, which is shown in trailer 2.
01:03Shang Tsung, Jax, Scorpion, Liu Kang, Sonya Blade and Raiden
01:08As we're saying, it's probably going to be a movie that mixes classic games.
01:13MK1, MK2 and MK3
01:15Or the MK9, right?
01:17As a whole
01:17I missed the characters in the Kusaru trailer.
01:21Sub-Zero and Smoke
01:23Besides Cyrax and Sektor
01:24Regarding the settings, I liked that the trailer shows us some new locations compared to the first film.
01:29The trailer begins by showing King Jared's castle in Edenia.
01:34It was really cool that he appears both before and after Shao Kahn's conquest.
01:39The Netherrealm also appears quite a bit, including heavily in the trailer.
01:44We can see Jade, Jax, Kano, Noob Saibot, Scorpion, Johnny Cage.
01:52They are all in the Netherrealm.
01:53I thought it was really cool that this scenario is going to appear.
01:56The Shaolin Temple
01:57So we can deduce that it probably happens in the scene where Raiden and Sonya summon Johnny Cage.
02:03They must go to the Shaolin Temple for training.
02:06Then Time appears several times, more than once.
02:09And the Lost Bridge
02:10What is this scene that has a portal, the blue portal?
02:13The trailer shows a fight between Liu Kang and Glau.
02:17I thought it was really cool that their fight was shown.
02:20Because these portals also appeared frequently in Shaolin Monks.
02:24It's a great reference for fanservice.
02:26So what can we take away from this trailer?
02:28As I said before, it will definitely be a movie that will show MK1, MK2, and MK3.
02:33Because we have to see Mortal Kombat for the first time.
02:36The first movie didn't show Mortal Kombat itself.
02:39As we can see, Shao Kahn is likely to fight in a Mortal Kombat game.
02:43That would be roughly the story of MK2.
02:45And I imagine he'll also try to invade Earth.
02:49What is MK3 basically, or the end of MK9?
02:53And it's also important for us to remember that this film
02:56He shouldn't follow exactly what's in the games.
02:59The franchise itself has already established that there is more than one timeline.
03:04The games themselves, MK1, MK2, and MK3, are part of a timeline that culminates in Armageddon.
03:08MK9 is already a different timeline.
03:10Now we have the timeline of Liu Kang and other characters.
03:13So I understand that movies are also another timeline.
03:16We can't expect it to be exactly like the game.
03:19Another really cool point is how Kunshi is appearing in the trailer.
03:22We can already deduce that the next movie will feature Shinnok as the villain.
03:26That's why I think Shao Kahn will invade Earth in this movie.
03:29And it must be destroyed for that reason or defeated by certain characters.
03:34Another really cool point that this trailer brought up, and which contrasts with the story of the games, is...
03:38The thing is, we see Kitana as a child, but she's not a baby.
03:41She is a relatively large child who probably resembles her own father.
03:47So this raises some questions.
03:48Will she find out that Shao Kahn isn't her father?
03:51Or how can we assume that this universe has magic?
03:53Shao Kahn will erase her memory so she won't remember Rey Gerald.
03:57Since Melina already died in MK1
04:00There won't be that contrast between the two.
04:03That's what I find a shame about.
04:04But also, if criticism is valid
04:07Melina, the actress who played Melina in MK1
04:10It has absolutely nothing to do with the actress who plays Kitana.
04:13Now in MK2
04:14So this universe missed the chance to say that Melina was a clone of Kitana.
04:19And if we try to assert that, we can see that it was a very poorly made clone.
04:24But Kitana will definitely rebel against Shao Kahn.
04:28Because in the trailer we see her inciting a revolution among rebels.
04:32And there's also another scene that shows Shao Kahn's throne room with Jade.
04:36Having just captured Kitana for some reason
04:39Another very important character that appears in this trailer is Sindel.
04:42We see her in some scenes.
04:44Being before the death of King Gerald
04:46So, along with little Kitana...
04:48But also see later
04:49We see her in the corner of Shao Kahn's throne room.
04:52At the moment Kitana was captured by Jade
04:55And then you see her fighting against Sonia.
04:58Which raises a question.
04:59This Sindel, she is a corrupted Sindel.
05:02Bewitched, just like in the first timeline.
05:06From MK1 to MK3
05:07Or is she Sindel from MK11?
05:10That she never liked Rey Gerald, always wanted to betray him, and loves Shao Kahn.
05:14I personally prefer her to be the Sindel from MK1 and MK13.
05:18I think this character lore is much more coherent.
05:21Another really cool point
05:22The Quan Chi trailer suggests that he will resurrect three characters.
05:27The first Sub-Zero, who will become Noob Saibut.
05:30Kung Lao, whom we can see in the trailer appearing as a specter.
05:34And Kano
05:35So it's pretty clear that this movie is probably going to kill a lot of people.
05:38So that Quan Chi can have multiple Specters under his command.
05:42And help Shinnok in the next movie.
05:44But it raised a question that I've been thinking about.
05:46Why is Kung Lao attacking Liu Kang? He's a specter.
05:51So it seems like he's under Quan Chi's control.
05:53But Kano doesn't seem like he's under anyone's control.
05:56It seems like he was resurrected and he has free will.
05:58There are several scenes where he's making fun of Johnny Cage.
06:01And helping Johnny Cage fight Noob Saibut.
06:04So I was very confused about how the two of them were resurrected by Quan Chi.
06:08What happened?
06:09And the big question this trailer left us with is...
06:11Who will be able to defeat Shao Kahn?
06:13We see clashes between Shao Kahn and Kitana.
06:15It probably won't be her.
06:17Just like in no game was she able to defeat Shao Kahn.
06:20Shao Kahn and Liu Kang are about to clash.
06:22But that doesn't necessarily mean anything either.
06:24We know that Liu Kang won the Outworld tournament in MK2 in the games.
06:28And he repeated these feats during MK9.
06:31But the question that remains is
06:32Will Shao Kahn be destroyed by the Elder Gods?
06:35Or are they going to let some character destroy Shao Kahn?
06:39For example, Johnny Cage
06:40We have to remember
06:41This movie doesn't need to be faithful to the games in terms of timeline.
06:46So that's something to think about.
06:48And you, what do you think will happen in this movie?
06:50Do you think it's going to be something more classic?
06:53More MK9
06:54Or will it be something completely different from what we've seen in the games before?
