The Defenders of Earthrealm: Mockumentary

Who's Liu Kang's favorite child?

Kenshi: It's Raiden. No question asked.

Johnny: Is this a trick question? Why the fuck do you think Liu Kang already had the Thunder Amulet ready and served on a silver plater?

Raiden: I think Johnny is the favorite because the amount of things he gets away with is astronomical.

Kung Lao: If I was a little more delusional, i would say I'm the favorite.

Kenshi: Let me guess, did Cage say it's him?

Kung Lao: Actually—come to think of it, i think Ashrah is the favorite child—

Raiden: You might assume the one being The Champion means something, but i think i was chosen only because the competing pool was .... bad and that really lowered Liu Kang's bar.

Kung Lao: —better yet! IT'S KUAI!—

Johnny: Who did Raiden say? He knows it's him right? Like he knows knows like we know know too—you know what i mean?

Kung Lao: Who am i kidding? It's RAIDEN! CLEAR AS A DAY—CLEAR AS WATER—

Raiden: It's just—the title comes with so much duty and responsibility and—

Kenshi: It would be really funny if it's someone else than Raiden.

.....

Liu Kang: It's Kenshi.

Liu Kang: He didn't need to do anything to be an Earthrealm Defender. No test, no trials to prove his worth. I just knew the good in him :)

Part 1

*playing Twister*

Johnny Cage: Okay Raiden, move your right hand to red.

Raiden: *moves hand and finds himself atop Kung Lao*

Kung Lao: *glares at Johnny, blushing furiously* You’re doing this on purpose.

Kenshi: I could hear that Johnny stopped spinning about fifteen minutes ago.

Johnny Cage: Honestly, I was waiting to see how long I could go before you’d notice.

Laid to rest by ten thousand arrows — the fall of Lao-Shan Lung

HE'S FINALLY DEAD.

This oversized infant has been tormenting me ever since his fateful introduction as the Wall Of All Time in rank G2. It's difficult enough to just scare him off, but for months now, I've had my sights set on outright slaying him.

I tried everything. Aerial style great sword to the face for 30 minutes straight. Max dragon attack striker lance dash spam into his gut. Hell, I even tried the infamous weaponless strategy, frantically hauling cannonballs back and forth, calculating every single ballista shot, carefully counting flinches. But alas, Lao-Shan Lung was simply too powerful for one scrawny little hunter. I was faced with the horrible realization, that if I wanted to take him down alone... I was going to have to play a ranged weapon. (GASP!)

Anyway yeah those guides ain't joking lol dragon pierce bow is ridiculously overpowered against this guy. It took me 2 tries because I've literally never used a bow before, but once I got the hang of it, it was a super easy hunt. Here's the set that netted me a 20 minute Lao kill with both fortresses at 100%:

Magnastar Wil (Max upgraded Valstrax bow), Valor style

Neset Armor (Ahtal-Ka), full set

The luckiest fucking talisman of my entire life, Expert +9 and Crit Element +4, no slots

Armor skills: TrueShot, Pierce Up, Crit Element, Critical Eye 3, Tremor Res

Items: Power Coating Lv.2, Element Coatings Lv.1 and Lv.2, and an unholy amount of mega dash juice

A LOT of patience to obtain all of the materials for the armor and weapon. Phew!

Altheos Incanonis (the max Alatreon bow) is technically better, but there is no way in hell I was going to grind G RANK ALATREON solo, fuck that. I got stupid lucky with the Valstrax grind and got 2 mantles and an orb on a single hunt, so I just ran with it; Magnastar is more than capable of getting the job done, even in the hands of a clueless melee main.

THE DREAM IS REAL!!!! WOOOOOO

[kendolltakahashi]

Being a part of the mk fandom is unlike anything I've ever experienced before. On one hand, on sites like tumblr and ao3 you'll find some of the most talented and funniest writers and artists and see/read mesmerising works and on the other hand, on sites like YouTube and reddit you'll find top notch incel culture and so much toxic masculinity. It's astounding how the same exact piece of media can be received in so many different ways and have such various types of communities associated with it.

[charlotte-family-apologist]

Johnny, Sonya, and Liu Kang are all besties in my head.

Like why wouldn’t they be.

[humanharvest]

stupid discord server msgs but put into the format of incorrect jokes that i think resonates with mk characters

[blackflash9]

All this discourse about Suyin looking like Sokka, Satoru, Sun, and the milkman around the corner—but am I the only one who thinks she simply takes after her grandfather? They have the same skin tone and even similar eye shapes. It's also not exactly unheard of for some kids to resemble their grandparents, people.

everyone loves Raiden..?

[notsoevilmagistrate]

I’ve been thinking of Kung Lao, not just MK1 but generally as a whole, and how he’s always pushed aside—number two. In some ways nothing is ever really his. Liu Kang, his best friend, becomes a god and goes onto to make a different timeline and stay there, and before that he got to be Earthrealm’s champion(in mk11 Liu Kang seemed like everything anyone EVER talked about with him). And of course it’s beyond that too: his name isn’t even his(“descendant of the great Kung Lao”), and his destiny and goals seemed to be based a lot on something predetermined for him, it’s a bit tragic.
