SalHOST
Also, at the end of the first one, there's that scene where Shao Kahn shows up in the clouds or something.
SalHOST
And they're like, who's that? And Raiden's like, it's the Emperor.
SalHOST
Yeah.
SalHOST
And then the cloud of Shao Kahn is like, your soul is mine or something.
SalHOST
Now, he doesn't copy Shang Tsung, but he says something.
SalHOST
And Raiden's like, I don't think so.
SalHOST
And then lightning starts coming out of his eyes, and they hit the song.
AdamHOST
Fucking Highlander Christopher Lambert is fucking Raiden.
Robert LambHOST
Yes, yes, I'm almost certain this is a Thai temple.
Robert LambHOST
And, uh, [laughs] but we're told it's a Chinese temple, and then we have, uh, Christophe Lambert, uh, stroll in as a video game god based on a Japanese thunder deity.
Robert LambHOST
So-
Joe McCormickHOST
Yeah
EliHOST

HalHOST

EliHOST
Kung Lao.
EliHOST
I like Kung Lao.
AndyHOST

EliHOST
what In one
AndyHOST
of the games, Raiden, he does a finisher with Kid Fonda, who's like a tiny version of him.
AndyHOST
Like, you know, the Keanu Reeves meme where it's just like him and the smaller one.
BryanHOST
Yeah.
BryanHOST
Let's go ahead and lock in Raiden.
BryanHOST
Okay.
BryanHOST
Raiden.
BryanHOST
That's actually...
BryanHOST
So Raiden has the passive ability that energy weapons get an extra 15% reduction to the wind-up time.
ChrisHOST
Okay, but they don't all have wind-up times, Brian.
ChrisHOST
Yeah.
DannyHOST
And we talk about how that happens, and basically the story ends after Mortal Kombat 8, and it ends on a temple of Armageddon.
DannyHOST
And every- basically, Shao Kahn's gonna win, so Raiden sends himself to the pa- or thoughts to the past.
DannyHOST
Starts again.
DannyHOST
So this is where the game reboots.
DannyHOST
And finally, Mr. Captain N says, "You really need to play the first eight to understand the complicated ongoing plot, and I couldn't agree more." You actually don't.
DannyHOST
You really don't need to know the complicated plot.
DannyHOST
Um, all you need to know is that all the enemies and all the bad guys have fought each other, and it's got so much that Raiden is basically like, "Shit, we're gonna lose.
DannyHOST
Humans, or the goods are gonna lose, so I need to reset the board," and then it resets.
JakeHOST
Oh, man.
JamesHOST
The s- the story ones on the web series was really good, 'cause I really liked the one episode where they, like, I don't know if you remember seeing what they did with Raiding in that, Raiden, in that one, but that was dark as hell.
JamesHOST
So like, you know-
JakeHOST
Yeah.
Don AguilloGUEST
I- I love that.
JamesHOST
It's definitely crazy, too.
JamesHOST
Like, is he really a god? Are you really calling yourself Raiden, or are you just, like, some dude named Jim? Like [laughs]
Don AguilloGUEST
I love it.
Jeff LambertHOST
Give me some little.
Jeff LambertHOST
The lightning from Mortal Kombat Raiden.
Jeff LambertHOST
Just,
ChewHOST
yeah.
AshHOST
Yeah.
AshHOST
Didn't like Mortal Kombat, Raiden come out of that or something? Ah, Raiden.
AshHOST
I was like, yeah, because there was one.
AshHOST
Yeah, right.
Keith BlissHOST
Whereas if he had that...
Keith BlissHOST
If he just woke up one day with that... birthmark or branding then it would have been like what the hell is this and then Raiden shows up and Sonya and you're like what the hell is you know like all the what the helling that he was doing through the movie and yes I'm using much more tamer language than he does in the movie you know all that what the heck is this why is this going on like all of this would have kind of worked into the first movie granted it would have been a rehash to a certain extent of the first movie because we get that with luke hang but he would have put the johnny cage spin on it and i would have been fine with that because again they started down that path and then they were like forget it we're just going to pick random dudes off the street like there there was no rhyme to reason especially johnny cage pointing out the fact that The guy they're looking for is from like 40 years ago because he's 20 years ago because he's in his late 40s.
Keith BlissHOST
So he's like, yeah, that was me when I was 16.
Keith BlissHOST
I don't know what you're thinking now.
Keith BlissHOST
But then again, as we've learned, Raiden is the deadbeat god of the Earth realm.
Keith BlissHOST
So, you know, that's very on brand for the character we've they've set up thus far.
Keith BlissHOST
The interactions he has with all the other characters.
