Welcome back everyone this is going to be my mortal kombat movie ending and credit scene video
also explain what they've said about the sequels there's obviously clear setup for what's happening
in the next movie but they have multiple movies planned that they've talked about so if you're
brand new to the channel be sure to subscribe to get all the videos obviously careful for spoilers
if you have not seen the movie yet because we're talking about the ending and everything that
happens during the film all the easter eggs but you finally get your big answer about johnny cage
where he was during the events of this movie and why they weren't hyping him up until the very end
of the film so i'll explain what the director said about johnny cage himself as well as some of the
other characters and some of the other actors from this film like sub-zero the person who plays him
said that he was signed to a five movie contract just giving you an idea for how they're plotting
all these films out but the whole thing with the movie is that they actually don't do the
tournament itself that you would expect them to do like they did during the events of the original
mortal kombat movie in 1995. it's meant to be more of a prequel movie so the writer and the producers
explained that they developed this arc as a trilogy of movies the first one supposed to be
a prequel world building introducing some of the core concepts and characters like you learn about
the tournament they talk about it a lot through the pov characters which are mostly the mains
from earth realm and mostly the cole character who is scorpion's descendant and whose powers although
a little bit different bears some similarities to the hellfire that scorpion wields he unlocks
most of his special powers but you don't see too many crazy fatalities from him like almost all the
characters do a version of one of their fatalities from the video game series most of the characters
in the video game series eventually learn multiple different fatalities but towards the end of the
movie shang tsung uses cabal to tempt kano to turn against raiden and the earth realm champions and
lower the protective enchantment that he raised around the temple of light to prevent shang tsung
and his champions from outworld from killing all the earth realm champions before the tournament
could actually begin as a way to circumvent this big prophecy involving scorpion the whole thing
with the prophecy is that when the movie picks up in present day raiden says the earth realm
has lost the last nine tournaments to outworld and if they lose the next one that's coming up in the
sequel movie mortal kombat 2 or whatever they decide to call it per the traditional rules of
the mortal kombat multiverse via the video games outworld will gain control of earth realm and even
though they don't explicitly say this in the movie if that were to happen the ruler of outworld xiao
khan who you see images of during the movie and statues a couple times but he himself probably
won't appear on screen until the sequel if they win the 10th consecutive tournament shao khan
will be able to merge earthrealm with outworld and expand its power there's a lot of arguments
about whether or not shao khan is an actual god he's not a god in the same way that raiden is a
god but he's about as powerful as raiden and he's ancient just like raiden but shang tsung is able
to kill a couple of the earthworm champions so press f in the chat to pay respects to kung lao
and even though kano switched sides sonia blade winds up killing him to take his mark making her
the next earthrealm champion even though he was a bastard technically he was a member of
earthrealm's champions they get kind of crazy with it because bihan for instance the sub-zero
character was originally one of the earth realm champions back in the 1600s before he became
full sub-zero but then at some point he turned sides and became a champion for shao khan so the
same thing happened with cabal's character because he said he had history with kano like they knew
each other from earth in the whole twist with kano switching sides is also meant to be a reference to
the video game series because technically he is one of the antagonists from the video game
that you fight and in the original mortal kombat movie of the 1990s it's kind of the same dynamic
kane was probably one of the best parts of this movie he stole almost every scene that he was in
but the whole third act of the movie is basically shang tsung's champions goro subzero cabal raikou
molina nitara shang sung himself invading the temple of light as the earth realm champions are
still trying to learn to unlock their special powers slowly with a lot of fatalities from
the video games they are able to kill all of shang tsung's team the reason why they say the
scorpion versus sub-zero fight where they hype it up so much is because they're kind of going
with that video game dynamic of the way they plot the fights out and sub-zero is meant to be
the final boss of this first movie not including shang tsung himself because he is more powerful
shang tsung doesn't really fight during the film like when kung lao challenges him he just says
you're beneath me you're not worth my time and says nitar after him because in the video game
series shang tsung is meant to be the final boss of the first tournament arc so that part
of the movie was just a clever wink at that like he's saying i'm not going to fight until someone
on your team defeats all my champions in the tournament during the sequel movie it was the same
situation in the original 1995 mortal kombat movie with liu kang not really fighting shang tsung
until the very end of the film and shang tsung in this new movie does act similarly to classic shang
tsung he does kill people he does use his sorcery to steal kung lao soul just like he stole souls in
the original movie but in that final boss fight cole takes on sub-zero after he goes him into
a fight using his family trapping them in that mma facility the gym where he fights all of his
fights earlier in the film not sure why sub-zero decided to take his family there of all places
but they actually turn the gem into a full version of sub-zero's lair from the video game series like
his level from the original mortal kombat video game the fights were all pretty fantastic pretty
bloody during the film but as you would expect he kicks cole's ass until he instinctively grabs
scorpion's original dagger that was given to him by raiden earlier in the movie and even though
they don't fully explain this part he uses it to summon scorpion from the nether realm so the
nether realm is the part of the mortal kombat multiverse that's supposed to be like their
version of hell but is just a separate dimension a separate realm like earthrealm and outworld
are separate realms of the multiverse cole had been getting visions of scorpion throughout the
entire movie asking for him to release him without really understanding what it meant and over the
centuries in the nether realm scorpion had learned to unlock his powers like you see everyone doing
earlier in the movie they also explained the fire he wields is hellfire from the nether realm
because technically he is undead now but he and cole tag team sub-zero who presumably has been
kept alive this whole time since the 1600s through shang tsung's magic and his own special abilities
both he and scorpion were originally marked as champions of earth realm they both had the mark
that's why they have special powers then scorpion uses his fatality from the video game series
from the first mortal kombat video game killing sub-zero with his fire breath his head doesn't go
full skeleton like it did in the original game but you do see a little of the skeleton there
he thanks cole for freeing him and asks him to protect his bloodline then presumably returns
to the nether realm they didn't say how many movies were on his contract the actor here but
of course i think scorpion will come back in the sequels he was one of the best parts of the movie
why wouldn't they bring him back if they're going to be bringing sub-zero back in four other movies
but then shang tsung enters and claims that he has many more fighters where these ones came from
which is a reference to the much deeper roster of characters from the video game sequels like
mortal kombat 2 mortal kombat 3 then says death is only another portal like death is not the end
sending sub-zero and goro's bodies back to outworld so if you have not played the video
games that's meant to be a reference to sub-zero becoming noob saibot in the video game series
after the original sub-zero was killed in the lore he was turned into a wraith in the nether realm
becoming noob cybot who was a secret unlockable character during the second mortal combat video
game so this is them just teasing that he's gonna come back as that character in the sequel and the
actor who plays him who was fantastic obviously said he was signed for five movies here's the
thing though remember how i said the writer of the film said they were developing a trilogy what
are those other two movies on his contract would it probably have plans even though they haven't
talked about it explicitly to do a movie just based on sub-zero's story like do a sub-zero movie
all about him just said during a different part of the timeline because why wouldn't they try to take
this to a very marvel cinematic universe place where you do a bunch of interconnected movies
apart from the main franchise like you assume the avengers movies are the basic main franchise in
all the solo movies are kind of like the spin-offs so they'll probably try to do spin-off movies for
know if they're actually going to get into the crazy cosmic level stories anytime soon because
it just sounds like by the end of this trilogy in the franchise they're mostly just covering the
initial tournament arc and shao khan's invasion of earth it's a little early to say whether or
not they're actually going to get to that third movie but i think for sure they will make the
sequel also everybody leave your suggestions for who you want them to cast ask johnny cage
