The GOAT of video game story-telling continues to come clutch here Kung lao is damn iconic

I've always liked Kung Lao since he first appeared in MK2, His Fatality was awesome and he deserves alot better than just always falling short of glory.

Love how Kung Lao's Armageddon ending was a precursor to the MK11 Aftermath ending.

Classic Timeline Pacifist Lao (he even allied with Fujin to take Down Dark Raiden and Zombie Kang), over current timeline arrogant/childish Lao for Sure Ps: AT LAST SOMEONE points out that Lao's change in personality started with Shaolin Monks

Speaking of kung lao,how crazy would it be in liu kang's new era,Kung lao is the new god of wind?

Well, i'm so glad for the video about Kung Lao. And you know, i can't just say about how much i love this character. It's literally my hero and most favourite character of all time. When i was a child, my dad brought me MK:SM disc for PS2 and God.. When i saw Kung Lao's image on it, he looked so mysterious, so deadly, so severe and skilled. I actually just couldn't take my hands off that disc because of him. Imagine what i thought playing as him.. Gosh.. Although my first mk was Deception, Kung Lao became my favourite character. As growing up i was involving myself in his personality and who he is and was getting more excited and excited about him. Damn.. Midway really liked Kung Lao, they didn't leave him behind. And now just watching, what a clown he became.. That might sound strange but i really love this character and seeing what they done to him is just horrible to me. I don't deny that his impulsivness appeared in Shaolin Monks, but in SM that really emphasized his motives, it showed just how serious and severe he is in achieving his goals, he WAS NOT A SHOW OFF. He got his personality changed in mk9, not that mysterious and strict, but i'm OK with him in mk9, he is still skilled and is really thinking about his friends and most of all, he is not a clown show off. His human version in mkx was actually really awesome: serious, skilled and wise, you can really call him a master. I hoped we could actually see this version of him in a storyline, but mk11 came out. I really despise this game for many reasons, one of the biggest of them is how they turned the hero of your childhood, the first character you have ever liked, the mysterious, deadly, severe warrior to a clown with nothing left of what he had before. Damn that just really hurts me, i'm sorry

As a Legacy Kung Lao fan I really appreciate this Untold Legends episode Fabian great work. I thought I knew everything about my boy but here you go digging deeper and explaining what the red symbol from his mk2 design meant. Didn't know it stood for war. Not sure if you know or not but @43:05 your voice starts to echo. I doubt you purposely wanted to sound like a revenant lmao. But again great job as always man really enjoyed 👍

I Loved Kung Lao As A Character When He First Appeared In Mortal Kombat 2, His History And Lore Was Amazing, It's Crazy Every Single Time When He Died In Any Form Of Media Every 2 Seconds Is Kind Of Annoying, Why Did The Great Kung Lao Never Have A Lot Of History.

Kung Lao is a fascinating Character,however why I consider him as Underrated that Great is that instead of a Pacifist with honor he became a cocky frustrating A-hole like Kung Jin instead of developing the Character like Johnny Cage,he get Annihilated every time in a dirty way,and the costumes in MK11 are terrible that we didn't get to see his MK2,MK Deadly Alliance,MK Shaolin Monks,MK9,and MKX costume designs,I hope and pray that it can change on future instruments.

The ending for Kung Loa vs Chronica was amazing. He’s so damn smug!🤣

Poor Kung Lao has become the Kenny from South Park of Mortal Kombat.

When I was growing up I wanted to make a mortal kombat game where you would select a character on a fighting screen and play through their current life. I will never be able to do that but you do so much of a better job telling these characters stories than I could. Thanks for the great content man keep it up.

Once again, another fine, in depth video from one of the best game lore people on the youtubes.

Once again another great job, love hearing the stories of these characters.

I thought maybe Master of the Flying Guillotine inspired the hat but oddjob makes more sense

Anouther great video, you just can’t stop making great content. keep going fabian!

Best video of its nature ever created on the internet this guy's video makes people actually want to play the game so the game developers should write this guy a check just send it

While I suppose that echo is just an editing error, it's really cool that it happens during the part of the story where people of the past come to the present, like all of a sudden the past you showed up to narrate this video with the present you. Great work as always.

I’ve watched this and the other videos at least 10 times since I found your channel ❤

He's the Sean Bean of the Mortal Kombat universe, always getting killed every 2 seconds.

i love your videos su much dude. i watch them every single night for sleeping or when i am working on second monitor to calm down

Kung Lao is certainly a legend

4:38 LIKE A GHOST

We for sure need MORE of these The History Of videos 🔥🔥🔥

Another great video for the MK archives. Honestly I hope Kung Lao gets his big break in Liu kang's new era. But that's for neitherrealm studio to decide, only time will tell when there ready to give is another MK game.

Thank you men you work hard we appreciate that

YOU ARE THE BEST CHANNEL EVER!

I've always liked Kung Lao more than Liu Kang, he's just a cooler Shaolin monk in my opinion, Kung Lao was treated way better under Midway than he is now under WB/NetherRealm, he is treated like a joke now and is killed off no matter what he appears in, he dies in MK 9, stays dead in MKX as revenant, he's still a revenant in MK 11 until his past self comes back, he is killed in the live action MK movie reboot by Shang Tsung taking his soul, killed in the anime MK movie battle of the realms by Shao Kahn literally ripping him in half, seeing how MK11 aftermath has ended, fire God Liu Kang has gone back in time to restart Kombat Kombat all over again, he went to see the Great Kung Lao and wants both of them to change MK history together, so it makes everything better for everyone in MK lore, I just hope that Kung Lao gets the respect he had under Midway back in MK 12, thanks for the the great video on my favorite Shaolin monk Kung Lao Fabian ✌️

Good stuff you got here.

Love the Echo voice you had around 43:06. Unintentional or not. It's great

4:08 Master Lao we have training today...What you doin?

Kung Lao is probably my favorite character,he may be the Krillin of Mortal Kombat,but I love Krilin too.

This is destiny. I'm also wearing my MK 2 Kung Lao shirt. He's a legend. He need to be the hero in 12. IDAGF. Please and thank you !

Love the videos my dude. But just also a heads up there's an echo.that starts on the 43 minute mark.

Shao Khan: How's your neck? *a few moments later* Kung Lao: it's pretty good...how's your spine?

Welcome to another episode of Untold Legends!!!!!!

43:07 He turned into a Revenant.

I love how you go into detail also is 2021 mortal Kombat movie canon

kung lau is the kenny of the mk universe

First Kung Lao looked mysterious and deadly now he turned into a comical and always dying character definitely not the same character yes I understand progression to many people hands in the cookie jar

Kung Lao remind me of crane from Kung fu panda

38:01 make a move cuh... So we can jump yo ahh 😂😂😂

Great job! Lao is one of my favourite characters 🔥 🔥 he deserves much better. I hope he could be a next hero of mk12 (and together with Jade, I ship them together, just my opinion 😍)

Ah Kung Lao: the Kenny McCormick of the MK franchise.

@GamerThumbTV 43:19 audio goes doubling. I know 2 years old vid

Lets admit it the deadly alliance waa the best timeline like ermac on the gopd aide amd brought back luokang soul back

Another great character profile. “Who’s Next?”

The second rate top fighter of earthrealm. One of my favorite kombatants, the other being Sonya.

looks like the sound in the mk11 part got all echoey lol problem with audio huh

Next up.....Kung Lao vs Kung Pao Chicken!!!

Wait!!! At 14:20, how the hell did you beat Shao Kahn with a flawless using Kung Lao??!!!!!!??? I could NEVER get a flawless victory even with cheat codes!!!!

I seem to remember bo 'rai 'cho couldnt represent earthrelm due to being from outworld if this is true how can shang tsung represent outworld or is this just an error in the lore?

As much as Kung Lao dies you'd think they would of cast sean bean to play him.

Maybe Kung Jin is his nephew AND his cousin and they’re monks from Alabama.

ah yes the krillin of mk

Hopefully he's not a sandbag for baddies anymore gets that original timeline respect instead of suffering the Charlie Nash curse of heroes

56:11

Engagement engagement engagement engagement

I love your timelines. And I don´t even like MK

Why does the great Kung Lao favor Liu Kang more than Kung Lao

i just really hate the jealous petty personality they gave him in mk9 and shaolin monks. Also they really need to start showing him respect. Even other characters in game just talk about how they dont like him when fighting them. so lame. like clearly the devs or ed boon hate kung lao and its extremely bothersome.

Why people are really talking like mk1 Kung lao is great Kung lao?
