How did the series end? (spoiler) - Mortal Kombat: Conquest (1998) Discussion

[–] reddratt 22 years ago

Sorry dude but that last episode was the last episode. I think that they were planning to come back for another season but whether or not it was a definite thing was still up in the air. I guess the higher ups didn't really feel like bringing it back, which sucks because the whole cast was anxious to come back for another season. I have every episode on tape and the series was only getting better so yeah, it really sucks but that was all she wrote bub....

P.S. If it makes you feel any better, there was a rumour going around at the time that the entire final episode was supposed to have been a dream sequence and the next season was supposed to start with Kung Lao waking up from the nightmare. Don't know if that helps but that's what I know.

I just saw the "Final Battle" DVD, and I'm realy pissed off... I meen, they could at least make a decent ending before they pulled the plugg.
Have you heard any news about the final battle 2 movie, or is there no hope for us??

I'm sad now, realy sad. :o(

I actually thought the last episode was pretty cool, it was alot different to what i expected cause for a change the bad guys won. Even though you may think it sucks u gotta admit the last episode's storyline and fight scenes all kicked ass. I think its one of the better episodes of Mortal Kombat Conquest.

Well this was probably the worst television series I'd ever seen, but Bruce Locke who played Shang Tsung was really cool(I've seen him perform martial arts in real life...very talented)..

In any case, to those who are confused about the story:
This series does NOT follow the time-line or the story of the video game. This show has little to do with that story at all. The ending of the series was contrary to the games but since it had nothing to do with them then its ok. In my opinion, the series was awful anyway. Sure, there were maybe a few good fight scenes in it, but it was probably one of the most unwatchable shows I've ever seen. Good riddance.

Haha, you know what? I remember writing this over a decade ago. I was actually thinking of Daniel Bernhardt when I was talking about Bruce Lock playing Shang Tsung. So...yes, Locke was an awesome Shang, and I have seen Daniel Bernhardt perform martial arts in person.

As much as I was sorry to see the series end, the ending was pretty good. I liked how they explored Sang Sung's past and would have loved to have seen the past lives of the rest.

They couldn't defeat the badies, because Shao Kahn send the Immortals to kill Kung Lao and his friends. And then Shao Kahn defeated Raiden and transfered the Earth into Outworld.

[–] aziandragon 21 years ago

seemed to follow pretty well from what i watched. knew it couldn't be the way it was suppose to end not only because of kung lao's death, but reptile and kitana's death as well. quan chi and shang tsung i knew could come back somehow they've been brought back enough times in the games.
i'm glad that i taped all the episodes but i wish it had continued. was looking forward to seeing smoke "even though he was not in his cyber form"

A flat £25 for the five DVDs I've got of it. Actually, I have six, but I like the first one. £30 if you want that one as well, I think it was the best of the series, that includes postage. Email me or something for the UK, for outside of UK extra postage might be added. But yeah.

I watched the ending yesterday, and I was very disappointed. When Shang Tsung told Kung Lao he would defend earth realm, as "it has become my home," I was expecting him to join up with the goodies, and there would be an EPIC ASS battle at the end, where obviously good would triumph over evil.

How did it end? Bunch of people surround the three goodies. Raiden is brought before Shao Khan. He lists how all of them are dead. Raiden bows to him.

Forgive me for saying so, but WHAT THE HELL? It was too damn abrupt! There WAS no final battle! The fight with Raiden vs Shao Khan was pretty cool, given, but cmon, Kung Lao's been training his entire life for it, and he just gets killed without so much as raising a fist. The series was decent, the fight scenes were repetitive, the rampant lesbianism and playbot stars and people trying and failing like a man with no legs taking on a hurdle, really annoyed me after a while, but the series was solid, Paolo was great, Bernhardt even more so. It should have ended much more gloriously than it did.

I know it's cliche and stuff for the goodies to always win, if they'd have fought for their lives, it would have been ok, but the way it happened just really sucked, especially after the 6 DVD build up to it happening :-p It's like running a marathon and getting cramp in your leg 6 steps from the finish and dying from the shock :-p It was tragic. Funny how I watched Easy Rider just before it, and suffered a similar ending :-p Yesterday was just not a good day for plot.

I also bought the DVD's. Never seen the series before but have seen the other films. This really sucked. The ending in particular Not because the evil wins and so forth, but if Shao Khan had the ability to send his immortals after all his enemies, why didn't he do it in the first episode. Like it is, there wasn't much point for the series, for Shao Khan only needed the portal open and he could kill anyone he wanted, so why wait an entire season for that.

By the way, Don't buy the DVD's. The episodes are in the wrong order and not all of them are on it, so it is very confusing to watch.

(Major Spolier)
It ended pretty rushed I thought, and not to the liking of the fans.

Everyone pretty much got killed off within a few scenes, but really rushed I thought... and then, the 3 mainstream charactors didnt even have anything to do with the final scene of the series. They all just get killed by Shoa Kahns shadow priests, and Raydon gets suckered into the Outworld and becomes Shoa Khans latest slave.

But, what threw me was Shoa Kahn kills everyone... Kung Lao, who as said was supposedly killed by Goro. Shang Tsung, who obviosly returns in future. Quan Chi, who is going to be apart of MK3 when the movies done next year.

But, I guess they had plans to do a second season... because Kung Lao would have to come back to life somehow, Raison obviosly escapes outworld 'cos he's in MK1, Shang Tsung and Quan Chi obviosly return somehow... oh. and reptile (unless its another reptile for the movie)it would have been interesting to see how they came back.

Plus, there where a few things that where still left un-anserwed in the series... such as the OTHER lin kweigh ninja, Smoke, who they summen to track down Sub Zero. Shang Tsungs trainer was released again by Omegis from his cavern grave thing and she asks for his help, but that was the end of those stories. Noob Saibot was never finsihed off (tho he may have not supposed to have been)

The truth of the matter is, in the last episode, Shao Kahn got a case of the Mud Butt, this enraged him beyond anything, thus he killed everyone and proceeded to the nearest crapper.

A) The show was cancelled prematurely. The Elder Gods were suppose to bring everyone back because Shao Kahn broke the rules.

B) The series was suppose to end with another Mortal Kombat tournament. Where Goro enters, kills Kung lao and beings his 500 year reign as champion.

C) Shao Kahn never directly sent his servants to kill Kung Lao.
- Shang Tsung often organized the botched assassination attempts (not being bound by the laws of the Elder Gods)
- Kung Lao, Siro and Taja often provoked attacks from parties who do not work for Kahn (eg, Black Dragon, Lin Kuei, Scorpions clan, Quan Chi, Kreeya).
- Shao Kahn often payed other parties to attack and kill Kung Lao. Therefore using a small "loophole". (With the probable exception of Mileena and Rain).
