So I smoked some dabs the other day and was reading fb articles and saw that spawn was announced as a dlc character for mk11. It made me wonder wtf was mortal kombat even about? I've seen both the movies but I had assumed those were just completely original stories that didnt match the game story in any way, but I started watching videos like this:
And it sent me down a rabbit hole of mortal kombat storylines and the shit is way deeper than I thought and has a pretty dope lore. I played the games as a kid but never read anything, just skipped and fought. Didnt play many of the spin offs, just sub zero mythologies but I cant remember much from the game and doubt I finished it. But I remember playing mortal kombat 4 and wondering who the hell shinnok and Quan chi was. They went into comicbooks and everything though and it's all part of the main lore. It's cool how they rebooted the series with mk9 as well, but it's still technically connected to the previous gen of mk games.
Should check out that dudes channel in that vid if you're into story lore, he does a video on the overall story then individual characters and covers all the info from before mk1 takes place up through mk10. Hes "remastering" the vids with mk11 info too, but only a few characters are updated so far.
Series is in desperate need of a proper movie or TV show. I know they got that movie in development but hopefully it goes off a lot of the source material.
