Dr. Who and the Daleks Review

I be reviewing the theatrically movie, Dr. Who and the Daleks.

Doctor Who is one of the longest running Sci-Fi shows that's been around since 1963. It was cancelled in 1989 but it was revived in 2005(aside from a brief TV movie in 1996). It's about a mysterious man called "The Doctor" who travels in a time machine disguised as a police box as he travels place to place to save the day.

The Doctor has many enemies like the Cybermen, The Master, Weeping Angels, Ice Warriors, but his most iconic of them is the Daleks. They are basically space nazis squids sealed inside a robotic cans armed with plungers. They 1st appeared in the very 2nd story ever. Originally, one of the creators of Doctor Who didn't want "Bug-eyed Monsters" but due to scripts not being ready during production, they had to use the only available script. It be hard to imagine Doctor Who today without the Daleks, or any monsters that the series is known for.

They may look laughable nowdays but in later stories, especially in the revived series made these creatures something you should take really seriously.

Throughout the 60s, Dalekmania has swept all of Britain. Kids were inside transportation buses were shouting, "Exterminate". There were toys, music, books, comics that featured the Daleks. Their popularity led them to go from one-shot villains to reappearing in later stories.

Two movies did came out based on the Doctor's early encounters with the Daleks. They are retellings of them and they are consider non-canon.

 Instead of hearing the iconic theme tune, it's some funky 60s music.

Peter Cushing is playing Dr. Who. He is known for the Hammer Horror movies as well as playing Grand Moff Tarkin, the man who blew up Princess Leia's homeworld.

Also in this movie, he is a regular human with his two granddaughters, Susan and Barbara. Also his last name really is Dr. Who, which means both his granddaughters have that weird surname too.

Dr. Who's personality comes off as a eccentric scientist. He seems more closer to Patrick Troughton's doctor than the original William Hartnell's and this was made a full year before the 1st ever regeneration was ever seen.

I'm going to explain the 1st team in the show.

The guy is the middle is the 1st incarnation of the Doctor himself. The two adults near him are school teachers, Ian and Barbara. They were from the present day and didn't believe the Doctor had a time machine but he forcefully abduct them just to prove a point.(Which sound out of character from today's point of view). The young girl in the right is the Doctor's very own granddaughter, Susan.

The Doctor having a granddaughter is kinda a shock to most people who started on revived series or any of the Classic series when it was airing in color. The Doctor was getting younger and younger in most of his later incarnations that he doesn't look like a grandfather-like character.

Another thing is the Doctor is seen as a sexless character in  in the Classic series, Revived series on the other hand...eh.

In the 2nd season, Susan fell in love with a guy and wanted to settle down, thus leaving the series. She was barely referenced afterwards after she left aside from guest appearing in 20th anniversary special, the Five Doctors.

Also Susan is the product of when the show was completely different concept all together. She left back when the Doctor was possibly a time-traveling human from the future. The Doctor being a two-hearted alien from the planet Gallifrey who can change his appearance when he is in a near-death state wasn't established till many years later.

Movie starts when it shows inside a house and it shows Susan reading this

 While the Doctor himself is reading...

While they are reading their books, Barbara is waiting on her boyfriend, Ian. Good gosh, I waited two long seasons for Ian and Barbara to finally became a official couple and it finally happen in a...umm non-canon adaptation. 

It was heavily hinted that there something between these two but nothing became official. They left the series with them finally return to their own time and they were very happily dancing on the streets together. They finally did became official in the actual Doctor Who canon 45 whole years later when Sarah Jane mentions these characters got married.

However you will quickly dislike Ian when you see how much a doofus Ian is in this.

Soon the family opens the door, he coming crashing into the cabinet.

While they are waiting on Barbara to come to the main room, Dr. Who shows Ian around and also show his latest invention, TARDIS. There is no "The" in it which sounds weird to not hear it. I had to hit backspace on this blog alot to remind myself the lack of "The".

Looks like junkyard with everything scattered and wires hanging out.

I prefer how it looked on the TV show at the time the movie was playing.

Dr. Who gives a lame excuse why TARDIS is bigger on the inside. It's made more sense an advanced civilization from a different time have a bigger on the inside police box but not but a modern day scientist who invented this in his backyard, no just no.

While they are having their tour of the place, Barbara joins them. Ian acts like an idiot of course and hits the controls of TARDIS. This sends them to another place

I hate this version of Ian. Instead of a being the cool action man of the group, he is a bumbling fool that trips over everything for the sake of comic relief. You wondered what Barbara sees in him?

The movie did compress alot stuff. 7 episdoes into a movie that's a little over an hour. It may cut down the padding but it also gets rid of some character development.

The gang arrived at this mysterious planet. Thanks to having a movie budget, the planet Skaro looks better here than it did in the episodes that 1st featured the Daleks.

They weren't limited to small set on a black and white TV. It has this cool dark alien atmosphere.

However the series had it's own charm with it be in black and white with little to no music that helps make the mysterious dead planet spooky. You can't get the best of two worlds.

Ian doesn't wasn't to explore and Susan call him off and calls him a coward. You tell him Susan. Gee, I wish your the actually canonical Susan.

She may of been unique and special among all the companions over the years due to her family connection to the Doctor but her actual character in the show itself, well she spent most of her time screaming in terror, freaking out, and being scared stiff. Even the actress herself was unhappy how she was written.

You somehow think a regular human child be the scaredy cat instead of a alien woman that resembles a teen who has been on several adventures in time and space before hanging at a school for a few months in 1963.

Movie Susan is far more cooler. She smart and brave and willing to help the others.

The gang explored the forest a bit. Susan must of gotten her big brains from her grandfather from a very young age and easily identify the scientific name of a flower.

However if they are on a alien planet, it wouldn't make sense she knows the name.

They find a petrified dead monster in the woods and Ian of course, trips over it and breaks it many pieces.

Yeah, that monster didn't serve a purpose, the story that the movie adapted from was guilty of the same thing.

A mysterious person touch Susan's shoulder. Instead of being frighted for a good ten minutes on the ships, and bringing it up time from time, movie Susan was more annoyed and curious and told the others at least once or twice. She saw a mysterious box full of vials at TARDIS' door laying there.

The Doctor sees a metal city in the distance but the others don't want to stay for long. The time traveler personally sabotage his own machine when no one was looking and says they have to find mercury fluid link to repair the ship. So they made a trip to the mysterious city.

Yeah, this is the problem of adapting one of the very earliest stories of Doctor Who. While he is closer to Troughton, his very early Hartnell shows in this one scene. The earliest stories of William Hartnell completely clashes how the 1st Doctor is in the later stories, let alone all of Doctor Who itself. I mean he almost crushed an innocent caveman's skull, threaten to throw out his companions out of airlock, smokes a pipe, and had a one-time love-interest before the Classic series turned him into a sexless character.

This is like the earliest Batman comics in the 1930s. Mr. Do Not Kill and Hates Guns is murdering criminals in cold blood with handguns where later stories want to pretend that didn't happen.

They arrived in the city. Instead of thin small corridors from the show, we got pink shower curtains as walls.

Dalek cameras are watching you

They split up to search the city. Ian being an idiot can't get a door to open, so he sits down on a stand. Door opens for him but soon he got up, it closes. He spends a whole minute siting down, running to the door, repeat, over and over. Would it not hurt to put a rock on the thing or something?

As they are exploring, Dr. Who openly admits his sabotage to the ship. They started to notice they are feeling weak and soon learn the whole planet is radioactive.

Finally the title villains make their grand entrance.

There is some differences from the show. Most of them come in different colors(decades before the New Dalek Paradigm). 90% of them have a grabber claw instead of a plunger. Sadly this removes some of the (unintentional) funny moments like watching them pass notes or them pressing buttons.

They disable Ian's legs by spraying mist on it. I don't know how that works?

Them spraying mist is stupid. Them shooting a laser and making the TV screens go negative colors to kill or disable their enemies seem more believable.

From what I read, they can't do the laser effects on film negatives and they wanted to show something physical. They wanted to show flame throwers originally but they think it would scare the children. *Roll Eyes* Oh please, the Daleks had flame throwers in season 3.

They get thrown in prison. They were asked if they were in league of the Thals, another native race of the planet that the Daleks are enemies of. The Daleks notice that the gang is bad weak from the radiation and wants one of the four to go back in the ship and look for anti-radiation gloves drugs.

Just to point out, the b&w episodes did their scenes in all in one take. It's like watching a stage play. However a character will fluff his lines. Hartnell was known for doing it every now and then.

Susan is sent out to retrieve the gloves drugs. She collected the drugs in TARDIS and at the door, she was greeted by a visitor.

A frozen blond Vulcan with eye makeup.

Actually it's a Thal. The storyline is that on the planet Skaro, Thals were at war with the Kaleds thousands of years ago and nuclear war happened. The war led to mutants being created. A mad scientist named Davros experimented on the mutant Kaleds and designed them to be the ultimate race as he put them in the ultimate mobile unit.

This was partly told from what the movie is adapted from. It was told in full in a 4th Doctor story, Genesis of the Daleks.

The movie at least tried to make the Thals look alien with their blueish skin and eye makeup.

In the TV show, they're simply blond aliens. I guess from 1963's point of view, you can pretend they have blueish skin since they don't reappear in color till nearly a whole decade later.

Also, I can't help but think of Raiden in the 2nd Mortal Kombat movie when I see the Thals in the TV show.

The Thal befriends Susan and tells her that he is the one who accidentally frighted her by touching her shoulder.(Would a simple hello be nice, good grief man.) He left behind the vials of anti-radiation gloves drugs to help them on this dangerous planet from eariler in story.

Susan heads back and gives the others the drugs. She tells them about the Thals while the Daleks are listening.

WOULD YOU CARE FOR SOME TEEEEAAA!!!

The Dalek offers food and water to the prisoners and asked for Susan to write a letter to the Thals. The letter reads that the Daleks want to make peace and offer food. Of course this is a lie to make a trap but our heroes don't know that.

Daleks must love to collect lava lamps. They were a recent invention at the time.

The letter went back to the Thals and they plan to meet with the Daleks but they wonder if it's a trap.

Doctor and gang come with a plan to escape. Susan who still had the pen from writing the letter disables the camera. With no one listening, they mention they can feel static on the floors and says the Daleks can't leave the city at all since they rely on the static floors. obviously they got rid of that one weakness in every other story that came after. From what I heard, these Daleks were early prototypes that were forgotten while the "real" Daleks were already in space, creating their galaxy spanning empire.

When a Dalek came inside the prison room, the gang grab their alien pudding or whatever the Daleks gave them earlier and slam it on it's eyestalk, blinding the Dalek. They push the Dalek to roll into a cape laying on the floor and the thing went disabled.

They grab the squid out of the canister and Ian hopped in. They pretended to be escorted out of the prison.

They doesn't look like a squid's hand.

The Daleks soon found out and blasted Ian.

Good riddance.

Nah, he actually survived as they escaped the city.

Daleks like to collect giant legos.

The Thals went inside the city to check if the peace offering is real. As they were entering, there is a long drawn out shot that last a few seconds. Gee, get to the point.

Then several of them gang up one of them and he got fire extinguisher to death. Such a sad fate.

The gang realized they left the mercury fluid link back at the city. They tell the pacifist race to go back to their pre-nuclear war days and be warriors and let themselves get killed, all for sake of some fluid link for people they only knew for a few days.

The show was better addressing this topic. They know they are trapped on the planet and say is it wrong to make a pacifist race get killed over some fluid. They also mention the Daleks may go over their floor weakness and kill everything, meaning the blond makeup Vulcans have to fight the Daleks for survival.

Ian forcefully takes one of the female Thals and her boyfriend punchs Ian. You go dude. However that was planned to see if the Thals have some fight within themselves. They changed their minds and decided to join.

Ian, Barbara, and a few Thals plan to sneak in the back way into the city. They pass a swamp and one of them got swallowed up by an unseen creature. Maybe it's the same thing that nearly drowned Frodo in the 2nd LOTR movie.

Ian complained about climbing up a mountain. Gee, your a wuss.

This guy fought Romans, Aztecs, survived the Reign of Terror, was knighted by King Richard I during the Crusades. How can that loser is based on this guy?

Anyways, they enter cave, jump ravine, and enter the backdoor to Dalek hideout.

The movie obviously is compressing this part of the story more so than any other part of the original Dalek story. Them sneaking around the swamp was half an episode. The gang inside the cave took entire episode itself. Also to point out, one of the random Thals survived in this adaption rather than falling to his death.

The Daleks tested the anti-radiation gloves drugs on themselves and it went haywire because it was poison to them. They decided to fire a neutron bomb on the planet to wipe out all species of the planet. Oh and they do a 100-second countdown where they shout every single second.

Yes they are using the Nazi salute with their plungers.

Well least they ain't using cardbored cutouts for all the extras. 

The Doctor tries to make cakes and burns them.

Dr. Who notice one of the female Thals looking at a mirror.

For of medieval civilization, them acting like beauty models seems a bit silly.

Dr. Who comes with a plan and grabs all the mirrors they have. They go to the Dalek city and shine light with hundreds of mirrors all over the entrance of the city which mess with the tincan's sensors.

During the event, everyone's inside and battling.

They lasso a rope on this guy and easily threw him into an elevator shift. They don't seem like an invincible galaxy conquering race in this one scene.

Many of the Thals and Doctor's gang killed alot them by directing them toward each other as they were about to fire.

As the neutron bomb was about to finish the countdown. The Dalek fired on Ian. The one time he should trip over something happens as the Daleks' spray hits the master control. It gets destroyed and it stops the countdown and disables all the Daleks in the city.

All the good guys gather at TARDIS and say they're goodbyes. At least Barbara didn't kissed one of the Thals.

How dare you try to ruin the oldest ship in Doctor Who. IanXBarbaraOTP! I hope people write nasty fanfics of you random Thal whose name I'm too lazy to look up.

Yeah, I admit, they do have names but it's hard to remember them and they never show up after this episode/story/movie.

The gang board the TARDIS and traveled to their next designation.

They see Godzilla-sized Romans marching around TARDIS that are not even paying attention to a litte blue police box. Either that or the movie used footage from some swords and sandals movie and they unintentionally look big.

 They quickly travel to another place.

THE END

It was kinda interesting. The bigger budget made Skaro look cool. Daleks look a little more menacing(spray shooters withstanding).

It was interesting to see the Doctor with a different personality years before the idea of the Doctor can regenerate into a new person happen. I like they made Susan cooler but hate they made Ian into an idiot.

It does remove certain bits that dragged but sadly, removes some of the interesting dialogue and character development. Can't get the best of both worlds.

Mortal Kombat: Federation of Martial Arts Review: The Story

There is a storyline to MK Federation of Martial Arts told outside of the videos. The FOMA page on the official MK site at the time had a few links they were told as "news reports". Examples are, Federation Wire, Earth Realm Report, and The Pit. I be going over the stuff.

If you want to see links to my other part of the review of FOMA, here's the intro, and here's about the web videos.


Here is a link to most of the storyline. The person on the site archived all the stuff about FOMA.(Dead Link)
Beware of the above link, it's a wall of text. Also to mention, it seems events are told out of order.

The storyline tells how the elder gods set up the tournament. Basically any realm is allow to participate. I'm surprised Reptile's realm is in it since his race is an endangered species. It also says that all the bad guys are alive. Stang Tsung is more powerful from his resurrection which is hard to believe seeing he got defeated by a women's charms in the web series.

In Conquest, he fought her and two other female assassins and wasn't "distracted".

I have to remind myself of movie/TV canon half the time instead of the well known game canon. Things like that Raiden and Kahn are bros. Liu hates Shang for killing his bro.(Who doesn't exist in games) Sub-Zero hates Liu for killing his bro(instead of Scorpion in games). Why is everything about bros here?

It mentions both Jade and Mileena are resurrected. That's one of the things that I have to remind myself is that Jade really did die as a villain in 2nd movie. In games, she quickly joined with Kitana and remain as a good guy.

During the entry about Mileena's resurrection that says she is a hideous clone of Kitana. Which is untrue in movie/TV canon since Mileena is a generic Outworlder with a bad teeth that was briefly given the illusion of Kitana's face as she was sent to kill Kung Lao in disguise.

If you ignore the show and go by the movie themselves. Sonya was briefly confused Mileena with Kitana and that's it.

I admit I forgot certain names from MK Conquest like Kiri. I did quick google quickly remembered it was the lizard woman disguised as a bi-sexual playboy Asian model.(No, I'm not making up that last sentience.)

The tournament is not a secret to all of Earth and everyone knows about it. Err..yeah. I have a hard time picturing the world finding out that our world is part of many realms and beings from the other realms want to invade ours by winning tournaments that has secret ninja clans, 4-armed beasts, cyborgs, gods, sorcerers, demons.

The lame filler character, Hikata is a warrior monk from Outworld who is rumored to fabricate thoughts into real objects.

Next it said that Jimmy Cage has a striking resemblance to his late bro which is incorrect since he looks more like Tom Cruise. I hate to say it but his replacement actor in the 2nd movie tried to resembles the actor from the 1st movie at least.

Then you got MK Legacy where Casper Van Dien replaced Johnny Cage's Matt Mullins where they look nothing alike.




There is some backstory told about Quan Chi's three assassins. Siann was banished to the Netherrealm(Hell basically) due to being a thief, murder, black magic. Sora was part of a rebellion group going against Kahn. Kahn invaded Mika's realm and made her his slave. Oh great, now Kahn is a rapist. Anyways, the three died and all endrf up in the Netherrealm and met with Quan Chi.

In current times, Siann and Sora escaped and joined Earthrealm's side. It mentioned that they hate Quan Chi due to many repeated forced intimidate encounters. So Quan Chi is a rapist, gee it's bad enough he made Scorpion's life hell(pun unintended), but now this. I being cheering even more so now after watching Sonya squish his balls and Scorpion got his hands on him in MKX.

It mention Jax doesn't have his metal arms which definitively showed that was missing in the web series. Also tells about Jax's old flame, Ruby who was a oneshot character from the Defenders of the Realm cartoon. Later on, it's talking about Jax finding Ruby's body. Police tried to arrest him and he bodyslams the detective and lay the smackdown on another officer....Ok, this is kinda hilarious. The mere idea he grabs a detective and bodyslams him is hard to imagine. However this makes Jax a complete idiot. Now he's charged for resisting arrest and assaulting police.

Sonya hears the news in the showers and rush out without realizing she's naked. She got be embarrassed right after.

During the interrogation at police headquarters, Jax breaks out and lays the smackdown on the cops and is on the run. He meets up with Sonya and they go to hiding.

Later on, Raiden and the gang later discovered Jax and Sonya covered in blood and robot arms. They say Sonya was abducted by ninjas but Jax came in to save her and they fought off the ninjas.(Could be Lin Kuei but doesn't say.)




It recaps what's seen in the web series of Jax's trial, punishment, him braking out of the James Bond villain death trap, and fake Smoke(As I call him) being revealed as the true killer and dies.

People ponder who was fake Smoke. It even mentions he resembles Smoke before he became a cyborg. There were questions like did Smoke somehow return to human form, even if he did had surgery to get rid of all his implants, there bad alot scarring on his tissue, which wasn't seen on Fake Smoke. However, later paragraphs have Robo-Smoke so it's not him. Another theory was it the obscured rainbow colored ninja, Chameleon, or was it known Black Dragon operative, Jimmy Cage.

If it was Chameleon, I laugh that his 1st ever appearance in live-action that this lesser known kharacter appears is in a obscured forgotten web series.

If it's Jimmy Cage, good riddance you lame knockoff. However he appears in later paragraphs and he wants to challenge Goro.(Maybe to fight his bro's rival despite being a bad guy)

It recaps the other stuff seen at the end of the videos of the web series. Stuff like the elder gods figuring out who should be Raiden's replacement as an elder god and then Raiden plans a war against the elder gods if Shao Kahn becomes his replacement. The tournament is put on hold till the replacement is settled.


It tells how Scorpion and Siann are victims of the tournament and sent to the Netherrealm. Well that's true in the web series. They are the only deaths in the entire thing with Scorpion falling into a green screen while Siann was turned into a blown up head covered in plastic with red Windows Paint leaking out of it.

Goro comes to Reptile's realm, attacks everything and abducts Kiri. Now Reptile want to be in the tournament just to fight Goro. However that doesn't happen in the web series videos. Reptile can be simply a green ninja but Goro is a 4-armed giant. As cheap the series is, I doubt we see Goro, unless they cheaply use stock footage from the 1st movie.



One thing happened is that Cyrax, Smoke, and Ermac joined forces.

Just to point out, the red cyborg Sector isn't in this web series at all.

The 2nd MK movie needless try to shove as many kharacters they can and they still can't get everyone. Sector was one of the select few that wasn't there and for some reason, the web series wanted to follow the same thing. It's weird that reading all this wall of text and Sector doesn't exist.



Not liking that Kahn is a possible candidate of being an elder god, Raiden sends Liu Kang, Jax, and Tanya on a covert mission to Outworld to kidnap Shao Kahn.

Yes you heard right, Tanya the backstabber.

This was back when MK4 was the newest game and it was at the time, it was Tanya's only appearance. I'm guessing the writers of web series didn't bother to look up her kharacter's ending where it's revealed that she betrayed the good guys. As far I looked throughout the story of the web series, Tanya never go through a betrayal story arc, she simply stays on the good side.

Next thing Raiden does is he sends Nightwolf, Kitana, and Sonya to recruit thousands and thousands of warriors from dojos all over Earth. Throughout the story, Sonya whooped a bunch of dojos' best fighters for recruiting fighters.

Shao Kahn sends out his shadow priests. If any of the good guys are seen in Outworld, kill them. Gee, it be the ending of MK Conquest all over again. Shao Kahn hopes he gets elected and becomes an elder god. If it does happen, He make Sonya fight Jax. Liu against Kitana. Jimmy fighting Nightwolf, and Raiden vs Omegis.



A rock statue suddenly shattered near the steps of the Federation arena. The remains look like Raiden and people wonder if he was turned into a statue and got destroyed. I doubt he's dead.

The elder gods believe it was someone with the powers of black magic and their four culprits are, Shang Tsung, Quan Chi, Ermac, and Omegis. Well it turns out the statue was planted by Shao Kahn's shadow priests to cause havoc while Raiden is alive and well, hidden in the Himalayas at Fujin's temple.



Kitana recruits Sub-Zero to their side. They reference his victories on the web series and despite being on the same side, some of good guys are bitter towards him. Raiden offers protection for him from the Lin Kuei since he abandon his clan. The clan's grandmaster wanted all the ninjas the lose their humanity and convert to cyborgs.



One part of the story has three masked people confront stormed Shao Kahn's castle. They beat up Ermac and went to the evil emperor. He got captured and vanished with them. It never does say who are the invaders but I'm guessing this is Raiden's covert team.

Meanwhile Jax came back to Earthrealm from the covert mission while Liu and Tanya are still missing.

Shang Tsung and Queen Vorpax take's the missing Kahn's throne. Ermac was not happy about this.



After seeing so many repeated entries of "Liu and Tanya are still missing in Outworld". We finally got an answer. Liu is totally cheating on Kitana with Tanya.

Err..ok. The 1st movie teased of Liu and Kitana being together and this carried on to all the games that came after. I have a hard time imagining Liu Kang as a sneaky two-timer.

Just remember when you see these scenes, remember that he cheats on her.

I refused to take this as canon for either the games or the tv/movies. Their relationship destroyed in some awful forgotten web show.



Earlier I wrote about Kitana recruiting Sub-Zero. Sub-Zero and Kitana are getting along well. He's happy someone's there not to kill him and he treats the princess with respect. Basically they are teasing the idea of the two blue ninjas being together. To have a feast with her, he kills a bear. Isn't he a romantic.

Then I remember that the web-series version of the ice ninja is this rude talkative guy.

"Come on, you can't beat me", "You alive in there", "Come on, is that all you got", "What's a matter, need some help getting up","You can't take me".

Suddenly, Lin Kuei ninjas attack the two blue ninjas and they hold them off.



Liu goes to Fujin's temple in Earthrealm with a wounded Tanya in his arms. The medics try to nurse her. No word on who the attacker is.

Outside the medic room, Quan Chi disguised a monk attacked Raiden. Liu comes to help the thunder god but Mika attack Liu with mallet.(What is she? Harley Quinn? Well she is the blond of the trio.)

Siann and Sora comes in to help the good guys and the two evil ones escape. Raiden thanks them for going traitor on the baddies and sends them to Fujin's temple to be cleanse. Some wondered if this is a trap since Siann and Sora are suddenly back from the dead and it was planned that they saved the good guys at the right time.



Liu is now angry that Kitana is still missing. Truth is, the attack from the Lin Kuei spook the two blue ninjas and they are laying a low profile. Liu goes out on his own and finds the two in cave. Thinking they are together, he attacks in jealously fury. (Seriously Liu, after what you were doing in Outworld?)

Liu shortly realized that he's out of line. Raiden doesn't like this and wants his champion to have a cool head. Liu and Kitana agreed to focus on training other fighters than their relationship. So they are no longer together. A forgotten web show has sunk this ship.



There is a storyline of Nightwolf trying to convert Jimmy to good guys but Jimmy says no and sends the Black Dragon on Nightwolf. The shaman gets hospitalize from this. This causes Jax and Sonya to wanting revenge.



With Liu "single". Siann tries to make the moves on Liu and may of done sexual stuff. Good gosh, who knew the hero of the series was such a horn dog. However it may be fake news from Outworld since according to Raiden, they are on different continents supposedly at the time.

Way later on, Liu is training warriors at Fujin's temple and totally ok that Siann is training warriors. Omegis isn't happy someone who used to be evil is training and she and Siann duke it out but Liu and Raiden brake it up.

Ok, when was Omegis ever wanting to work fully for team Earthrealm? Her only appearance was on MK Conquest and she seems more neutral than a full on hero. She more concerned on trying to get Kung Lao or Siro to sleep with her than to help them. Heck, she purposely poisoned her master and buried his immortal body. Did the writers of the web series didn't bother to look at her character while watching the series and...

 and...nevermind. They were busy drooling on her then paying attention on her role and motivations are.

Sonya and Jax want to avenge the beaten Nightwolf and go to Black Dragon's strip club hideout. The lame Kano knockoff known as Jarek was present at the area and a major battle happen. I swear, the Black Dragon is full of lame knockoffs, from Johnny's lame bro, to Kano's knockoff, to the Ken Masters knockoff, Kobra.

Why would a guy with no robotic eyes have eye lasers?

As many Scorpion/Sub-Zero recolors and kharacters with the same movesets as Ryu/Ken, nearly every single one of them is far more original and interesting than this lame kharacter.

Sonya and Jax defeated all criminals and they leave with Jimmy as their hostage. They torture him and interrogated him on info on Black Dragon. He had no food, water, or sleep in 60 hours. He tells info and Sonya is surprised Kano is alive. Sonya wants Kano's head and resigns from tournament.



Ermac believes there is a traitor who set up Kahn's disappearance. He believe Rain be one since he was Kitana's old buddy and not seen in a while. Ermac doesn't trust Jade and Mileena since they are extremely quiet in their duties. Shang agrees to help and travel to the Netherrealm to find Rain's soul. I guess Rain died from his fight with Quan Chi in the web series.

I look back at the end of the video and Rain's body wasn't seen at the last 2 seconds after when the fireball hit him. It's a two brief second scene, you don't see his body disintegrate or anything. How are the viewers going to assume he died? It look like he just get hit by a simply energy projectile.

Anyways, Shang has Reptile, Kiri, Cyrax, and Smoke on his team. They go into the Netherrealm but Shang now plans to Ermac, instead of resurrecting Rain, it's Scorpion.

This leads to a enemy civil war. Goro and Motaro fight each other and Goro kills him by ripping off his arms, legs, and tail. I'm glad it's on this story part of this series and not the actual videos because I hate to see the cheap looking fatality.

Team Shang storm the throne room to fight the loyalists. Ermac, Noob, and Filler Towelhead(Hikata) teleport away.


Team Shang were on a hunt for them them and they were found in cave. The sorcerer and Ermac make deal, if Shang wins a one on one fight, they join them. They battled and Shang Tsung somehow goes all Super Sayian with a purple aura around his body and he totally pwned Ermac. The remainder of the story never says where the source of Shang's new power is comes from.



Jade and Mileena looking for Kahn to stop the civil war among the villains. Shang wants to stop them and reprograms the two cyborgs to hunt them down. I have a hard time imagining that a centuries old magic user can work on robots. Then again, both MK3 and the 2nd movie had Kahn's forces reprogram them.

Jade and Mileena finally found Kahn, the emperor is imprisoned at Fujin's temple. His cage is protected by spells from Fujin, Omegis, and Nightwolf. Before they could get to them, the two reprogrammed cyborgs found them. Cyrax launch two bombs and causes the mountain to cave in the two female assassins.



Some time after resigning from the tournament, Sonya contacted Special Forces, saying she found Kano. Days passed since Sonya's last transmission and she is now missing. A Special Forces' unit took Jimmy as insurance and he led them to Hong Kong. He has a collar with a vial that will set off if he flees or tries to break it. Think Suicide Squad.



Raiden is having the Earth Realm army is setting up invasion of Outworld when their world is going through a civil war. It's odd to see Raiden the type of guy who is making covert missions, abducting Kahn like that, and creating an invasion force. You think is this mean enforcer god, Dark Raiden but he didn't appear till four years later in MK Deception.

Liu Kang can now use a vanishing move and causes guerrilla warfare on and off by attacking the castle. I swear, if they ever make a new MK game, I want to see Liu Kang going invisible or Super Sayian Shang Tsung.



Shang sends Scorpion to Fujin's temple and sends some shadow priests as back up. I'm surprised they are following Shang.

I'm mean, they kill every single major kharacter, including Shang Tsung in the last episode of the TV show. Makes more sense they follow Kahn rather switch sides.

Unhappy hearing that Jade and Mileena are alive from the cave in, Shang reprograms they cyborgs to fight each other. They fight and Cyrax force himself to self-destruct to take them both. Ok, that was a waste to their kharacters.



Scorpion sneaks inside the mountains near Fujin's temple and finds Kahn. They mention his white eyes.

What white eyes?

He met Sub-Zero and they fight. The Lin Kuei ninjas come in and attack their traitor and enemy clan member. The two famous ninjas join forces and kill all their enemies. The two ninjas are back at it.

I would love to see their epic match but we should be thankful it wasn't in the videos because the suckage of them would ruin it.

Their battle got them near the cage and it activated Kahn's prison defenses and they were blown away by powerful winds.



Shang tries to get Quan Chi to join by offering a soul of a champion. The necromancer agrees to help and he gets shadow priests to help back him up.

Quan Chi is now outside of Fujin's temple with Rain and Motaro who are recently resurrected. They sneak inside and found the cage. Quan Chi blasts a fireball destroys the Fujin's whirlwinds. Nightwolf's shaman statues come to life and attack but they are destroyed by Motaro. Rain use his water powers to get rid of Omegis' poisons. Quan Chi's shadow priest try to free Kahn but all are stop by a cold blast from Sub-Zero. They mention of setting a score of a medallion despite not being in movie canon.

The 1st movie only said that Scorpion and Sub-Zero are enemies but slaves under Shang Tsung's power. That's the entire backstory. Now we somehow assume the events of the Sub-Zero spinoff game is canon to the movies.

Then there's TV show Conquest that gives the two different backstories from the games kinda, or their ancestors. It doesn't say but it's takes place 500 years in the past.

Back to the story, the shadow priests brake free from the ice and try to use their powers to mind control Sub-Zero to their bidding. At the cage, Quan Chi ready to great Kahn, not there to free him but there to steal his soul. This upsets Shang since he's want to put the hurt on Kahn. However the thing is that Kahn wasn't really powerless. He allowed himself to be captured and use this ruse to test his people to see who are all the ones who would go against him.

At this point, the story pretty much over and they are wrapping up loose threads.



More stuff was said like Quan Chi and Rain were in cohorts the entire time since MK Conquest and Rain's "death" in web series was set up.



Special Forces have now found the Black Dragon hideout to save Sonya. They now all of a sudden have stealth camo tech. Anyways, the two groups duke it out and gunfire happen and Jimmy for once acts heroic and jumps the bullet for Sonya. The Black Dragon group are defeated but Kano wasn't found at the scene.

Both Sonya and Jimmy are at the hospital. When Jimmy was feeling better, he sneak out his room and went to Sonya's room and talk to her in her sleep and cried.

There is somewhat of a story arc for Jimmy that he cares for Sonya because she is his late brother's implied love interest. However it's barely developed and briefly told in these wall of texts.



The elder gods have return to resume the tournament. The reason they are away is because they are on a far away realm that's being invaded from a powerful all female army. (Vorpax's army? Doesn't say) Also there is another tournament there on that realm.

Kahn is back on throne and it doesn't say anything about his plan on the traitors.

The election of who should be the new elder god is over and the winner is Fujin. So that's good for the good guys then.

The civil war is over and Earthrealm's planned invasion has stopped since the elder gods are back running business as well as Kahn not becoming an elder god.

Raiden has returned to be protector of Earthrealm. The tournament will be back running.



And that's the end of the entire storyline of the web series. It wasn't good honesty. You can tell it was written like a collect of news reports. Certain stuff was unexplained clearly like one sentence say Kahn's castle was struck by Lightning. Was it Raiden or Rain who did that, it doesn't say? Then you get barely developed characters like Jimmy Cage who would jump in front of a bullet just because we barely seen a sentience or two of him caring for Sonya. There's also random events happening that goes nowhere like Shang and Quan Chi making deals long before Kahn's disappearance or Ermac joining forces with the two cyborgs.
