Alan Lee's shang tsung, you deserve a better narrative and script.
😔 *sigh*
I just hate the story this shang was in. If it wasn't for bad plot. And horrible direction.
This could have been an amazing young/early sorcerer days shang tsung.
Like I'm just sad the more that i think about it.
Like the bad plot,plot holes,simple solutions to a problem that isn't really that much of a problem,the character favoritism,etc.
God,shang,im so sorry.
Mr. Alan Lee,i feel if the script wasn't crap,the narrative didn't screw you over,and this game wasn't filled with useless microtransactions,and shitty gameplay. You would have been a perfect successor.
But sadly. It's not ment to be.
I personally feel if he was given a chance to bring his shang tsung to life more,make him actually intimidating,and add oomph to it. Then i feel like he could shine. Like i just feel he's held back. Like get angry dude! Genuinely,get pissed off! Make shang scary. And not in the cunning sense like they seem to shoehorn him into. Like yes that is a facet of his character,but only one small part. Shang is complex. And so should be his energy and expression. Like i feel mr. Lee was scared doing shang. But excited too going by his interviews. But i feel he was so worried a out disappointment,that he got blindsided by the bad writing. If i had a chance to write something for him. I would in a heartbeat. Give him a better narrative and story for his shang tsung.
I would absolutely looooove to write for mortal kombat. At very least shang tsungs part. And idc if it's "canon" or not. I just want a good story. That treats shang as the badass we KNOW he is. *sigh* alas i have to only share with my fellow shang tsimps. Not that that's all bad. I love you guys.
But i really really wish that alan Lee's shang was done better. I dont mind his voice,aesthetics,i just hate the writing.
I wanna give him a hug and take him away from this horrible version of the game and series.
Me at all shang tsung's: "my heart n soul sir"

Shang tsung doesn't need to be a "good guy" to be sympathetic or do nice or "good" deeds.
Y'all should understand that not everyone needs to be a hero to be redeemed.
That's some bullshit propaganda that y'all tend to fall for.
It's like that feeling of "if you pray to jesus,all you're sins in OUR eyes will be forgiven" type indoctrinated shit. Like no shade thrown,even as someone who is spiritual myself. I find people thinking that a villain in a story should become a hero in order to be redeemed,kinda suspicious.
Shang tsung,to me,has ALWAYS BEEN NUANCED. And already had benevolent qualities and traits. Y'all just only see one damn part of it because the writers suck at showing them properly.
Not to mention if a character isn't obnoxiously nice or mean,y'all don't pay attention to them.
It's like most of mk fans I've noticed,at least as of late. Feels like I'm talking to 3yr olds in media literacy.
So no. Shang tsung needs to be a NEUTRAL CHARACTER. not good,not evil,just self serving and even quite helpful as a tournament master as he is supposed to fucking be.
He is supposed to be that "keep your friends close,keep you enemies closer" type. He is the "the enemy of my enemies are my friends" type. He's scary intelligent,cunning,a master martial artist,a brilliant alchemist,and one badass mofo you do not wanna cross.
But most of all,he is courteous,a gracious host on his island,and his punishments are as great as his rewards. He does keep his end of the bargain,but he also gets compensation.
If anything you need to worry about earthrealms warriors more than him. Half of them now(due to piss poor writing) are hiding behind heroic deeds and false statements of peace yet they have unclean hands too.
With Shang tsung you know what you are dealing with,it's on the table. If you cant read the obvious,you are indeed a foolish one.
No matter what iteration of shang tsung you have. One thing is clear,made clear,and that is when you deal with him. You deal with the devil so to speak.
So if you're not smart nor prepared. That's on your ass honey. Not his. Do not blame him for your stupidity.
But if you know how to play the game,play chess with the serpent. And know these archetypes. Then you may have a better shot. But that's all on you.
Either way,in your favor or not. Do not blame him for telling you exactly what is needed to be said,not what you wanna hear. Honeyed words or not,there's always a sliver of truth and bitter pill of truth in his words. And he's good at making either people hate his guts or bow and worship him.
THAT IS WHY HE'S DANGEROUS. not because of magic,or experiments and other trival bullshit.
Nah.
It's because shang tsung is good at talking. Good at trades and making you believe whatever is what he wants you to see.
Even if it may go against him. He wants you to fuck up,get angry at him,attack,be unbalanced,so he can fuck your shit right up!
Holy shit this mans whole ass moveset is zoning and keeping you in a certain place in the stage even!
It's part of his whole damb character.
I could go on and on. But do not blame to serpent for telling you information for questions you ask him. You're the one who chose to bite his apple of enlightenment and knowledge so to speak.
Which is why the gods,titans,etc want these kombatants,warriors to be stupid. So they are easy to control,to get what they want.
Like it's glaringly obvious that mortal kombats story has these type of tropes and symbolism in it. But people are too blind,for various reasons. To see it.
I could get deep. It's a videogame,i know. It is what it is.
But the more i look at mk12/mk1 shang tsung. The more i feel its a missed opportunity to showcase these themes better for him.
Like holy shit dude. Shang tsung pointing out the hypocrisy of the gods. And whispers in our earthrealm warriors ears. And maybe convincing a few to join his side. Or even better. Our heroes,kung lao and mortal raiden to question liu kang and not blindly follow like fucking idiots. Sure just trust this dude right? Bruh.
Shang tsung is the only one with a brain once again. And i hate them making everyone else so stupid to make him seem better in the shithole plot of theirs. If you can call it a plot.
It burns me,that it's a waste of potential.
But i digress.
Anyways. Shang tsung,way more than an evil conjurer of tricks my dudes. Waaaaaay fucking more.

MK1 Kast reaction to AOU! Scarlet Witch! Reader (Earthrealm Addition)
*I don't want any controversies, I'm a sucker for Wanda, FYI, you're Johnny's assistant*
Warning??: Down Grading, Johnny wanting you in his movie, Geras being threatened, me doing side events with this one, Liu Kang Double cheeked up on a Thursday afternoon
Requests are available
LIU KANG
He already knew...
I mean what, you were in the last timeline, but neutral? You had your reasons for being evil (or so you would say), but also good
Much of speaking, you won't necessarily die or be erased from history, because without chaos, there would be no balance in the universe
So he has options to either Shinjuku mind erase your ass and restart or seal, cause yea...
He finds your power intriguing the more you learn and develop, there even somethings he didn't see you do previous timeline
You also almost killed a few of his students "accidentally" per say
He also finds out you have relatives that are Edenian ancestors of the magic, even if you come on top, you have much to learn
He prevented you from interfering with Johnny's fighting against the Lin Kuei brothers when they arrived at his mansion
He also noticed you cast an illusion when you were about to leave after Johnny fought the brothers, to not be involved in what was happening
RAIDEN
He's surprised you even had powers, let alone be born with them
He likes the combination of his lighting with your magic, impressed that you can mimic lighting, he will also feel a little intimidated about it
He totally kicks your ass in combat, hand to hand precise
He will lecture about using combat more than your powers, but is impressed about your abilities
He annoys the living the fuck out of you with his humbleness
He finds it amazing that you are able to hold more than you once did
He still wants to know if you're able to do more with your magic than what he's read in books about ancient magic in Edenian
He worries of your mental state with your abilities the more you learn about them, but he finds you interesting that you are abnormal
He's surprised that you can tolerate Johnny, hearing about his previous assistants, you are the only one who can tolerate the egotistic (but generous) man-child
KUNG LAO
Cocky son of a bitch...
He'll work too hard to try and impress his abilities to you and brag that you can't prevent them
Overall, he does like the sight of your abilities glowing and swirling in your hands
He finds them ticklish when it holds when they calmly wrap around him
He's literally the type of guy to ask you to "do it again!" just to make him feel like he's flying
You somehow managed to block his blade hat, but nearly got your head split into two
He's wondering about your limits and wanting to try and overdo them, in other words he wants to cheat
The more your power grows the less he understands
KENSHI TAKAHASHI
He and Sento can sense you, just like you can sense them.
He was curious if you could hear Sento without any contact with the blade. Both him and you were surprised that your ancestors knew each other
You both help each other with telekinesis and mind reading
Johnny and Kung Lao call you two the "Perfect Duo"
Johnny tries setting y'all up, but you declined due to "not seeing it" (neither can Kenshi)
It weirds out Takeda that there was someone else quite similar to Kenshi
Takeda also comments that she's out of his league...
They will literally talk shit telepathically, especially about Johnny. I headcanon the way they do it is like in Young Justice, especially when they argue. The entire squad just looks at y'all as you two throw your arms and yelling at each other in y'all minds like y'all crazy...✋🏾😭
JOHNNY CAGE
Brother is STUNNED
How dare you keep this secret from your boss, he's livid AND dramatic...
Even those Liu Kang prevented you from interfering, you didn't really listen to him. You knew Johnny for six years and was close with him
Helping him push Bi-Han with your magic was always entertaining for him during the fight
You did kinda slapped him for trying to use you for his movie as you said you didn't want to and your power was too unpredictable anday cause harm
He enjoyed watching you beating the shit and levitating Shang Tsung and slamming him on the ground
He does notice your magic gets darker the more you use it, he also noticed you get headaches and hear voices from it
He was losing his fucking mind when Shang Tsung kidnapped you after he set out poisonous gas in his gruesome basement of Tarkat clones, man was ranting and worrying about you to Liu Kang who kept telling him to calm down
He remembers your ex, Kira, (Yes, the Kira from the previous games), that she got out of prison for trying to kill you, or more like someone let her out and she joined the Red Dragon group
He's extremely worried about you all the time, like that's you bad bitch, you're bestie✨💅🏾
Y'all are literally the Mean Girls, along with Kenshi
✨BONUS ✨
GERAS
He's more cautious about your abilities than Liu Kang, even though Liu Kang is aware, Geras is more strict about it
He knows the extent of your abilities and various triggers that can happen. Throughout the times in other timelines, he always see you are going from good to evil.
There's even one timeline where he sees you erasing all the realms due to sadness of someone you love during a realm battle of all realms
He remembers you were Shinnok's spawn in a previous timeline, but it glad you were down a different path, still causes of what you might do
He will eventually see you as a threat if your power corrupts you, knowing he can't erase you due to chaos and order balance, he deems of sealing you, which Johnny was mainly against
He knows you don't intentionally mean harm, but does trust your mind set
Geras is a bonus since he's not intentionally an Earthrealmer, this list is mainly for those who are born in Earthrealm, for example since Liu Kang is a God and Keeper of Time, he still was and is an Earthrealmer
I was gonna add Thunder God Raiden, but if I'm in the mood or someone requests the MK11 version, I will do it
I will make an Outworlder one but I won't add the villains, they'll have their separate section
Again! Requests are open!

MK12 Shang Tsung is so funny. Like he had won. He fully won. He has his own timeline, where he is pretty much GOD,but is like “there’s a universe where liu kang won????? FUCK THAT.” and sought out to try and kill him and eradicate his timeline. The man is desperate for an L. He sought out defeat from the jaws of victory because he could not fathom a multiverse or minding his own business.

Damn shang your tsungs!
Shang tsung was best in mk11. Just saying.
No shade but it's the truth. Sorry.
(Mini vent in tags sorry)
#thirsting post aside mk11 shang tsung is fun to play even if you don't know how to play#mortal kombat#shang tsung#shang tsung mortal kombat#💚heart and soul🐍#fr tho shang tsung in mk11 is far more enjoyable than mk12/mk1 shang tsung simply because of tagawa's performance#and the fact is alan lees shang tsung while fun and unique he's not a young tagawa he is his own damn person stop comparing him#alan lee stated he doesn't want to be compared to tagawa so plz stop saying he's a young tagawa#they don't sound alike alan lee has the smug infliction but its heavily exaggerated and lighter toned#cary hiroyuki tagawa's shang tsung in the mk 95 movie and him younger has a deeper tone and pitch#listen actually carefully to both of them and their performance they sound nothing alike#people who say that alan Lee's shang sounds like a young tagawa is delusional to themselves into thinking that the game is remotely good#that or they want tagawa back but they don't wanna admit that for some reason#like guys it's ok to like alan lees shang without comparison to tagawa#stop trying to say they sound alike#i swear people be parroting shit they see on x or yt comments ugh#but anyways have shang tiddies enough of my venting#mk11 shang tsung#mk11#mortal kombat 11#mortal kombat 11 shang tsung
