HOW OLD WOULD MK1 SHANG TSUNG BE IN HUMAN YEARS?

We all know that in most games Shang Tsung is 1,000 years old but keeps his youthful appearance by absorbing souls. As a result, he appears much younger than he actually is. In the new timeline, his age is unknown. All we know is that Liu Kang forged his destiny to be that of a common Outworlder and he most likely doesn't know how to use souls to make himself younger. ①

But how old do you think MK1 Shang would be if his life span were the same as that of a normal human from Earthrealm? Let’s analyze it.

EARLY MK GAMES:

Shang Tsung first appeared as an elderly man in his mid-eighties (Mortal Kombat 1992). Then he became a younger man in his late-twenties to early-thirties (Mortal Kombat II 1993). According to GamePro magazine in 1993(4), the Mortal Kombat II version of Shang Tsung was 19 years old. In Deadly Alliance, he is roughly 45. ②

MK1 2023:

Depending on the timeline, Shang Tsung resides from the Outworld or Earthrealm, making him either an Outworlder or a Titan, but his age remains consistent across both. He doesn't have a birthdate. ③

->

To determine his human age in MK1, we can either rely on our own speculations or seek assistance from AI. Please consider that Shang Tsung is a fictional character from a video game, and determining his precise age is going to be hard. Let's start by making an estimate. If I were to guess based on his physical and facial appearance, I would say he appears to be in his mid to late 30s. Despite his vitality, there are subtle hints of age lines and wrinkles. Analyzing how his wrinkles have developed, it would be fair to suggest an age range of 35-38.

He has a mature countenance, characterized by prominent facial features and a weathered complexion.

->

Now let’s have a look at what the AI has to offer. For that, I will be using the websites howolddoyoulook.com and age.toolpie.com to confirm if the two sites match the age analysis. Remember that things as light or different emotions can be detected by AI and decrease or increase the age.

Both AIs detect him to be in his early to mid-30s.

->

In addition, I asked ChatGPT:

ChatGPT agreed with my estimate and said Shang Tsung appears to be in his mid to late thirties.

->

I also tried to ask Redditors what they think:

WELL, I SAID I TRIED. After waiting 9 days that is the only coherent answer I got:

->

In conclusion, even though his exact age remains a subject of speculation and interpretation, a compelling case can be made for Shang Tsung being in his 30s in the events of Mortal Kombat 1 (2023), my opinion being that he is in his mid to late thirties.

And how old is Shang Tsung in your opinion?

After watching MK Legends Scorpion's Revenge I think I ship Shang Tsung and Quan Chi. Mostly cos I feel it would be like shipping two Starscream's together that are constantly trying to kill each other.

It was specifically after the scene where Quan Chi tried to poison Shang's drink and Shang can instantly tell and then turns on him. For some reason I interpret Shang's speech after that as "You know we could totally be a thing if you didn't keep being devoted to that god that no one likes".

You also have the opening cutscene of MK Deception they both team up to kill Raiden, succeed, and then do not even wait until his body is cold on the floor to start betraying each other. Amazing.

They're the Deadly Alliance. No one can match them when they combine forces. Together they can bring the realms to their knees. They will also turn on each other on a dime because neither of them can stop being treacherous for a second, and it's both their greatest strength and their greatest hindrance. They're perfect for each other.

The things I'd give for any Shang Tsung to choke me on that fat dick 😩🙏

1995 Shang, MK11 Shang, MK1 Shang, doesn't matter. I need this man CARNALLY and VORACIOUSLY.

Look, you give me a fruity asf evil man who has the voices he does, the PERSONALITY he does, the sass, and the fire outfits (as well as black nails AND the claws), AND A LEATHER TRENCHCOAT?!??

And I am expected not to need and want his dick 😔
