12* AssPull: [[spoiler:The Shadow Priests can deflect or counter any attack with a wave of their hand, can outfight everyone, and the only thing that gives them pause briefly is Shang Tsung's soul steal. There is no story context as to why they are so powerful and no reason how they are immune to ''everything''. Shao Kahn just summons them and they walk through the entire cast, killing everyone except Raiden]].
13* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: If there is one thing this show can be credited for, it's living up to the franchise's reputation for great use of electronic rock. Special mention goes to the theme used in the fight between [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ir98v2_nl7c&ab_channel=Armagibson Kung Lao and Shang Tsung]] in the pilot episode and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSMwRtXu-eg&t=26s&ab_channel=Adriano_Swaggins the track]] from the episode in which Reptile fights a member of his race. And of course, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P89PxsojAEc&ab_channel=TheUltimateBastich the theme song]] is suitably blood pumping for an action show.
14* CompleteMonster: [[Characters/MortalKombatShao Shao Kahn]] is the lord of Outworld and the conqueror of countless worlds that he brutally dominates, enslaves and [[YourSoulIsMine harvests for souls]]. [[EstablishingCharacterMoment Introducing himself]] by stealing the soul of a slave, Shao Kahn aims to invade Earth and subject it to his brutal rule like so many others. Setting himself up as a god named "Shakaa", Shao Kahn attempts to harvest the souls of the people in the city of Shakaana under the promise of delivering them to "paradise." In the finale of the show, Shao Kahn proceeds to use his Shadow Priests to exterminate every other member of the main cast, including [[OffingTheOffspring Shao Kahn's own daughter Kitana]], while defeating Rayden (sic). Mocking Rayden for the deaths of all the others, especially Rayden's champion Kung Lao, Shao Kahn [[ForcedToWatch forces Rayden to watch]] as he leads Outworld's forces to utterly dominate and destroy every living soul on Earth.
15* DesignatedHero: Siro trusts two women he just met with the crucial task of blowing up a Kreeyan hive... Full of babies.
16** Siro in general can be considered this. He's presented as a hot-headed JerkWithAHeartOfGold who eventually ''[[MemeticMutation learns his lesson]]'', but the series never manages to develop him beyond being a JerkAss who has no qualms torturing his enemies and spitefully remind Kung Lao of his dead girlfriend when the latter tells him he should train and focus more.
17* FanficFuel: Since the series' cancellation lead to not only an unresolved cliffhanger but a number of other loose ends you could write a story covering almost any plot line:
18** Even if you go with the WordOfGod [[https://www.mksecrets.net/index.php?section=mkc&lang=eng&contentID=5900&title=Mortal-Kombat-Conquest-Ending-and-Story-Timeline resolution]], there are still questions about [[spoiler:how much the Elder Gods intervene, we know they resurrect everyone killed by the shadow priests and punish Shao Kahn for breaking the rules of Mortal Kombat, but do they also rescue Raiden or do they leave that to the newly revived heroes?]]
19** In his last appearance, [[spoiler:Sub-Zero went rogue on the Lin-Kuei and killed one of their grand masters. In retaliation the remaining grand master sends Smoke to eliminate him.]]
20** What was that deal Omegis made with Master Cho?
21* HilariousInHindsight:
22** The series ends with [[spoiler:Shao Kahn winning and all of the heroes dead]]... which is exactly the same way ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9'' starts.
23** This show introduced the Kreeyans, an all female race with a bee-like lifecycle, in VideoGame/MortalKombatX we're introduced to the Kytinn, an insectoid race of [[TheWormThatWalks sentient beehives]].
24%% * IronWoobie: The Great Kung Lao.
25%% * MemeticMutation:
26%% ** Shao Kahn's speech at the end of the final episode has been oft-quoted on ''Mortal Kombat'' message boards, especially in the wake of ''9''.
27%% ** Siro the greatest Mortal Kombat character!
28* {{Narm}}: Shang Tsung screaming [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkBRAkR4i3c ''DAMN YOUUU!'']] at the end of ''Undying Dream''.
29* RetroactiveRecognition: Siro's ex-fiancé[=/=]sister-in-law is played by none other than ''Creator/EvaMendes''.
30** Also, one of Quan Chi's warriors is Creator/JaimePressly.
