History WesternAnimation / MortalKombatLegendsScorpionsRevenge

* PluckyComicRelief: Johnny Cage. Hilariously he has no idea that the Mortal Kombat tournament is real and not a stage for a movie, and he didn't realize the everyone else picked up on that before him.

''Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge'' is an animated direct to video movie based on the ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' video games. The plot is as follows:

* AdaptationalDumbass:
** [[spoiler:Quan Chi is this, particularly in the second half. He not only reveals that he killed Scorpion's family ''in front of Scorpion'', but he tries to poison Shang Tsung's drink, who sees his betrayal coming a mile away.]]

* BigBadEnsemble: Shang Tsung hosts the Mortal Kombat Tournament on behalf of Shao Kahn, while [[spoiler:Quan Chi killed Scorpion’s family and clan, pinned it on Sub-Zero, enlisted him as his champion and is the FinalBoss.]]

** [[spoiler:Normally, Shang Tsung stopping Quan Chi from freeing Shinnok would normally be PragmaticVillainy, given Shinnok's an OmnicidalManiac, but not only does he chastise Quan Chi for betraying Shao Kahn, at no point in either this film ''or'' the next one does Shang Tsung plot to betray Shao Kahn, suggesting this version of him ''isn't'' TheStarscream like other incarnations.]]

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: [[spoiler: Shao Kahn is a downplayed example. While his one scene makes it clear he is a BadBoss, his game counterpart in both timelines nearly executed Shang Tsung for his failure. Here the punishment was simply a beating.]]

''Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge'' is an animated direct to video movie based on the Franchise/MortalKombat video games. The plot is as follows:

--->'''Sonya:''' Fuck with the Blade - you're gonna get cut.

** Baraka in the rebooted continuity of the games is a level-headed and [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor almost]] decent Tarkatan that is shown to be civil out of kombat. The movie dials him back to his Midway characterization as a barely sentient beast incapable of speech.

* CallingYourAttacks: Johnny Cage shouts "Barrel" as he throws a barrel at Baraka.

** Baraka is also seen fighting Johnny Cage.

* GenericDoomsdayVillain: The fighters from Outworld; Baraka, Reptile and Goro end up as this. Only Goro even gets to talk and its only a couple of lines or so in the whole movie. They exist more as obstacles for the protagonists than characters.

** In his fight with Baraka, Johnny makes use of nearby kitchen utensils.

** After defeating Baraka, Johnny Cage looks outwards and says "Toasty" a gag introduced since VideoGame/MortalKombat2.

-->'''Johnny Cage:''' Eat me, buttercup! ''([[FlippingTheBird flips Baraka off]] who gets buried under the rubble)''

* TokenCompetentMinion: Goro is easily this for Shang Tsung. While Kitana, Baraka, Kano and Reptile are dispatched by the heroes with relative ease in one fight, Goro shows why he was the undefeated champion of Mortal Kombat for the past nine tournaments. Not only does he brutally maim Jax, taking the major out of commission for most of the film, [[spoiler:but he nearly kills Liu Kang and would have succeeded if not for Scorpion's untimely intervention.]]

A sequel, ''WesternAnimation/MortalKombatLegendsBattleOfTheRealms'', is set for release on August 31, 2021.

* BloodierAndGorier: Unlike [[WesternAnimation/MortalKombatDefendersOfTheRealm the last animated adaptation]], this is a '''''very''''' violent and gory movie, with blood and guts flying left and right. The R-rating is definitely earned here.

A sequel, WesternAnimation/MortalKombatLegendsBattleOfTheRealms, is set for release on August 31, 2021.

* BigBadEnsemble: Shang Tsung, who is hosting the Mortal Kombat Tournament on behalf of Shao Kahn, and [[spoiler:Quan Chi, who killed Scorpion’s family and clan and pinned it on Sub-Zero, enlisted him as his champion and is the FinalBoss.]]

* NotSoStoic: Sonya breaks down crying when she sees Goro ripping Jax's arms off.

* BattleAmongTheFlames: [[spoiler:The movie's climax has Scorpion and Quan Chi fighting as Shang Tsung's palace burns and crumbles around them]].

* GenericDoomsdayVillain: The fighters from Outword; Baraka, Reptile and Goro end up as this. Only Goro even gets to talk and its only a couple of lines or so in the whole movie. They exist more as obstacles for the protagonists than characters.

** After defeating Baraka, Johnny Cage looks outwards and says "Toasty" a gag introduced since MortalKombat2

* TeleportSpam: Scorpion uses this on the Lin Kuei assassin he interrogates for information.

* BadBoss: When it becomes apparent that the heroes are too much for his hench-men, Kano opens fire on them with a couple of machine guns... while said hench-men are still in the crossfire.

* NoOntologicalInertia: [[spoiler: The island starts to collapse after Shang Tsung retreats to Outworld as his power is what maintains it.]]

-->'''Quan Chi:''' But please... put more of a fight than your wife did!\\

* AdaptationalWimp: [[spoiler:Liu Kang, in this continuity, ''[[NotHisSled loses]]'' against Goro, and only survives thanks to Scorpion's intervention. This is [[JustifiedTrope justified by Raiden]], who tells him that his true destiny is to defeat Shao Kahn and not Goro.]]

** Sub-Zero is a relatively minor example while he still isn't exactly a nice person there is no evidence he had any dealings with Quan Chi, [[spoiler: He also isn't the one who killed Scorpion]].
