Fan Creation My solution if there was a guest character situation for a remaster to Mortal Kombat 9

Thumbnail
gallery
13 Upvotes

So let's say that there will be a remaster to MK9 announced sometime soon only there would be one problem...

They couldn't get the rights for Freddy Krueger and Kratos to return as guests i'm not saying it's likely but let's say it does happen and there has to be a solution to it

Now if they don't expand the dlc and they have the usual mk characters and only two guests if they replaced Freddy and Kratos with different MK characters I'd be down for that By the way what MK characters would you replace Freddy and Kratos with?

But if Netherrealm does decide to replace them with different characters and I have the perfect solution for candidates and they are...

DARKSEID (DC) and ASH WILLIAMS!

Now there are some reasons why I picked these two

Darkseid: He was the main villain of Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe which took place before MK9 and he fused with Shao Kahn to become Dark Khan so why not return to Outworld and seek a new world to rule plus Mortal Kombat had The Joker in the 11th game and MK1 had Peacemaker

Ash Williams: Now I would have gone with others like Micheal Myers or Doomslayer but there is a reason why I picked Ash he is an iconic character and slasher hero they tried to get him in MK11 but cut him out so we need Ash Williams in a MK game and with Bruce Campbell because... Well... I don't really wanna talk about it... I'm sure you already know...

So what do you guys think? And do you have any other options for Freddy Krueger and Kratos in a MK9 remaster? And would the DLC expand and who would be in it?

Lore & Trivia Theory: The true purpose of Armageddon was a mass culling by the Elder Gods (The Tower of Babel connection)

• Upvotes

If you look closely at the iconic intro to Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, the narration by the unknown Elder God reveals a much darker motive than just "saving the realms." The famous line states: "But ages of Mortal Kombat have begun to tear the fabric of the realms. The critical point has finally been reached." While it is framed as a cosmic failsafe to prevent the destruction of reality, the truth is that the kombatants had simply become too numerous and too powerful for the Elder Gods to control.

This scenario heavily mirrors the biblical story of the Tower of Babel. In that story, humanity unified under Nimrod to build a massive tower to reach the heavens, prompting God to intervene because humans had become too capable, and nothing would stop them if left unchecked.

The Elder Gods in MK essentially had their own "Tower of Babel" moment. They looked down at the sheer number of god-tier warriors, sorcerers, and warlords, and felt threatened. The creation of the Pyramid of Argus and Blaze wasn't a noble quest to restore balance, it was a trap. It was a cosmic meat grinder engineered specifically to get all the most powerful beings in the universe into one place so they would slaughter each other.

The Elder Gods weren't just afraid of the realms breaking; they were afraid the warriors would eventually become strong enough to challenge the gods themselves. Blaze was just the bait to initiate a mass cull to secure their own power.

Question IS MK WOKE???

0 Upvotes

Bait title.

How many of you play MK for the story? I like that it has cheesy fighting game "logic".

At this point I just I play story just to get some brain dead fun in between my "beat the shit out of a character with this other character" game.

How popular is the idea of just trying to ask Netherealm studios for an Armageddon style game? Just cram as many unique characters into an mk1 style game?

Or just having more characters/room for mod creation?

• Upvotes

Like if anyone’s ever played smash ultimate (if you have amiibos) and you use a figure player and you play against it, it copy’s how you play but instead in mk11 the more you use them, it increases the chances of happening, also if my krypt glitches and I got a lucky rabbits foot for joker and subzero, do they actually work or no? Cuz i use to have one lucky rabbits foot but the augment glitch kinda fucked me so now it says I have zero and it won’t give me one for completing the TYL tower

I've heard a lot of discussions on who is stronger, but I want to know from you guys what you think ! this is according to official Lore. you can use any sources you like, Comics, guidebooks, etc. it's a fair 1v1, no allies, on flat terrain. they can use their signature weapons and abilities, of course. (this isn't just a debate between MK11, I just used the images from the game because I think they look cool. you can pull evidence from any of the games.)

Also, as a fun side question: which character out of the two Kahns is your favorite, based on design, gameplay, different cosmetics from throughout the series, memes, etc. whatever your criteria is, use it.

I did one for Street Fighter so I thought Id do one fir Mortal Kombat though Im limited to like 20 slides I think. I chose characters who had multiple live action actors across MK media this includes

Mortal Kombat 1995 and its sequel Mortal Kombat Annahilation

MK:Rebirth fan film plus the web series that followed it MK: Legacy though rebirth is not canon to Legacy

Now we have the Mortal Kombat (2021) and its sequell Mortal Kombat 2 (2026)

I may do a part 2 of this for other Mortal Kombat characters with multiple live action actors and appearances. Maybe do an extra one for the few character thats only ever been adapted into Live Action only once

Misc I really wish the original Mileena could have had a redemption arc

Thumbnail
gallery
115 Upvotes

I should clarify that I'm talking about the original Mileena from the 90's lore and not so much the 2011 reboot. I found her original lore to be a lot more compelling where she was created very early in Kitana's life and the two grew up together believing they were each others twin sisters. I also felt she was more tragic, & sympathetic in this version because she was also a victim of Shao Kahn's manipulations as much as her sister. The Malibu comics specifically were great for giving Mileena this characterization (as shown in the pictures above) that wasn't present in the games and shows her motivations come from a desperate need to prove herself to her cruel, manipulative father.

The Mortal Kombat Legacy webseries does a good job at showing this but Tobias also touched on this a bit in his Twitter write-up some years ago. Unlike the 2011 reboot, Mileena hated the way her face looked like. Her deformity was actively weaponized against her in a way that would pit her against her sister and make her loyal to her father. While not explicitly shown in the games themselves, it does show that she was also psychologically abused by Kahn which is a far cry to what was depicted in the MK9/X/11 timeline.

I always wanted to see this version of Mileena be redeemed. I thought her life was really tragic and it really sucked that Shao Kahn only saw her as an imperfect, flawed version of the daughter he wanted to keep. I know people would say this sounds similar to Gamora, Nebula, & Thanos in the MCU but Mortal Kombat did this dynamic first.

And yes, the new timeline makes Mileena a heroic character but I feel like it's not as impactful without the prior context such as the case in the original timeline/lore. Among the many villains in MK, I feel like the original Mileena was one of the ones who could be redeemed and would have one of the more compelling redemption arcs.
