Johnny Cage hands down will always be my favorite character to play on MK

Cage is an amazing character. I like how they slightly where raising his story in 4 and in Deadly Alliance to really bringing him to a character heavy storyline.

The evolution of Johnny was amazing. I honestly liked MK 9-11 Johnny the most cuz he was a decent man and good father. Seeing him in disbelief over Sonya's death was heart breaking. No over the top scream, no wanting to seek revenge for her death or any of those grand standing's. Just a broken man who lost his wife and seeing his daughter crushed by the loss. Perfection.

It's so funny but also so cool how Johnny went from generic douchebag actor #38 in the later games of the original timeline to one of most well developed and fleshed out characters in the reboot timeline.

Cage probably had the best character development in the series.

Johnny Cage is my favorite MK character. Thanks for the video.

Lmao with the intro having Cage fighting 80s action stars.

It’s funny as a kid I always gravitated towards characters like Johnny and Stryker. I just preferred the average guys over the ninjas and sorcerers.

I just had a thought: Was the scene where Younger Johnny goes all Rambo on after getting shot a Spaceballs reference? After Vespa gets her hair shot she goes all Rambo in a sort of similar way.

This is really meticulously documented, well done! One funny thing about Johnny Cage in Armageddon's opening cinematic is that he is seen pushing Sonya off the pyramid. That's quite ironic since she would end up being his wife in the new timeline.

I can imagine the amount of work that goes into these and result is always stellar. Keep up the good work, Fabian. Great stuff.

Right on time, like "always"

Cage the unsung hero of MK

Johnny cage in mk11: from movie action hero to real action hero

I hope Johnny comes back in Mortal Kombat one

Johnny Cage has perhaps the Biggest Importance and Development on any Character in the Franchise that went from a Solid Character,then Die,Come Back to Life,Be an Arrogant A-Hole Celebrity,and in the Original Era Other than the 1995 Originally he was meant to be the Protagonist but was Changed to the Point Nobody found him Interesting and lacked Some Parts in his Personality,the NRS Era Rebooted the Character and Improved Him as One of the Funniest Characters in Mortal Kombat,grew to be a Better Person,Husband,and Father,and became One of the Top 10 Best Characters in the Franchise,I can’t wait to see how MK1 is going to Portray Him.

“You hear that? She called me Johnny “

Dope love these history videos very fun to binge!

Don't think I've caught a live premiere before.

It would be cool if they revisited all the alternate history versions of characters, in the future. Like the universe where jhonny got really rich meets the version of him that became a god or the hidden power version of him. This would go for all characters with alternate ending through the games.

Johnny is definitely my favorite usually one of my go tos in Mortal Kombat games

Thank you for the new video I've been watching your Mortal Kombat playlist every night before bed this whole week

29:56 The straight-men of the team just roasted him.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Johnny Cage has been my favorite character in the MK universe and probably of all popular culture since I was 11. When I first played as him in MK9, I just saw the badass in sunglasses. His douchebag ways we’re something I looked past, especially when he matures throughout MKX/11. He even became more mature than Sonya! I love everything about him. From his name, to his story, moveset (nutshot especially), his look (mainly for MK9), and more. My favorite moment from him was definitely the 2nd part of the MK 11 campaign. Radian’s thoughts on Cage coming true earlier than expected. Standing in the way of Shao Khan and Sindel attempting to put further harm on Cassie and Sonya. Dude literally drops the act, utters a sick/iconic Batman line, and fights for his family. Sure he lost, but he survived a hammer shot to the chest and matured. Real quickly, Radian is goated for recognizing Johnny’s potential as a hero. Looking past everyone’s doubts on the actor. The former Thunder God proved everyone wrong. Johnny Cage is indeed a hero! I pray he is done well in his third live action appearance. If they kill him off again, I’m throwing hands!

Another solid history of an iconic Mortal Kombat Kharacter, especially with the new story content and information regarding the upcoming sequel to the MK movie reboot, another Mortal Kombat Legends movie, and his story beats from MK11, I now eagerly await the final chapter of the Metroid story, the restart on history of the Assassin's Creed franchise, and maybe in the future, redo the God of War story

Awesome work on this, dude! I love this series. Can't wait to see who you do next.

Bro thanks for making this video. Johnny Cage is my favorite MK character, I appreciate the work and time you took to make this video. Much love.

I love listening to your work. I 1st found out about you when you were talking about the castlevania time line and ever since then I've been hooked on how you tell stories. So very detailed and your voice is very soothing. I can't wait for the next one

Cage will always be my favorite MK character

I'm vey interested to see how Karl Urban plays him in the next movie.

Killer history and epic as always

I absolutely love the conversation between younger and present Jhonny, even he could see how annoying he used to be.

Brandon Lee as Jonny cage would have been epic. But the guy who ended up playing him was fantastic.

Will you make a video about the main characters of deception and Armageddon In the future I don’t remember their names

Been living in nostalgia in MK11 with the movie skins. So freakin awesome to have Linden Ashby as my Johnny whoopin all sorts of ass. 😁

And now come MK1, we come full circle.

As a fan of the series I love the games. Johnny Cage isn't a character I play as very frequently but I love his characterization in the games.

Great video

Growing up, I never really paid too much attention to Johnny Cage. It wasn’t until MKX and MK11 that I really started to appreciate him and became one of my favorite characters to the point where it just isn’t MK without him.

Great to see him back in MK1

Ah yes my FAVORITE CHARACTER! 😭💖

Kinda miss the intro slowed down a bit….. But I get it. 💪🏿

Ronda rousy playing sonya was probably the worst celebrity any game has ever had

I would like to see Johnny Cage and Kotal do a classic MadTV sketch as a Friendship. But you know what's weird? The actors doing the voice work for Sub-Zero, Smoke and Scorpion are also doing voice work for Diablo IV, as well as Kitana and Liu Kang.

Johnny Cage, That's right.

Thanks!

Johnny Cage has always been a top 5 favorite of mine, but I was disappointed in how little contribution he had to the original MK story line. But I love his development in the new timeline, and I sincerely hope Netherrealm continues to keep him relevant to the reboot. I would really love to see an animated film too that explores not only Cage's background, but also his time w/ the Special Forces.

5:13 It always surprised me that Johnny wasn't the main character. All signs point to him being the protagonist. He's the closest thing to relatable that the player can imprint themselves onto, as he's the only one out of his element. Everyone else in the first game is in some way initiated in the bigger picture of what's going on or has a rival or personal reason for being in the tournament. As a result, the player is a lot like Johnny, learning all this crazy stuff about clans, and gods as they go along. He always had an underdog aura about him. At times even the first movie felt like his story. Liu Kang, as iconic as he is now always seemed rather generic in comparison(in the beginning). I think they finally realized this by the time MKX came around and started developing him a bit more.

I prefer the older Johnny because he's full of maturity and humility

MK11 made me love Johnny even more TBH.

When is your first Assassins Creed Story Timeline part going to be?

So, what’s your thoughts about JCVD finally gonna play as Johnny Cage?

When are you tell us about terminated RoboCop cuz they were Mortal Kombat 11 DLC

Which MK games are chapters "This is real" and "Changing history" from?

Never thought I would say it but Johnny Cage is based

I always thought johnny cage was jean Claude van damm

Smoke

Is there a reason Raiden couldn't teleport Sonya out from under a pile of rocks? I mean he pulled a dozen people with him

If my ability to play as Johnny Cage matched my love for Johnny Cage I would be unbeatable. Edited to add that the original JC actor for the game was let go because he posed for a advertisement for a another fighting game.

1:52 cough cough stryker cough

Considering they reduce Johnny to the same thing at the start of every game.. I bet he goes back to the original Van Damne insult. They have shown either they have no idea what to do with his character, or they just hate his character.. They can only write the brash guy becomes a whole person arc. They have no new ideas or even know how to cleverly write the arc. Hell they set up things that would be good if they followed through on them, and bail every time. Mileena beomes outworld ruler, dies right away. Set up Dark Raiden, dies right away. Set up Lui Kang and Kitana to be the new villains... Bait and switch. They shit on characters to make them plot contrivances.. Shao Kahn was destroyed this previous game, Jade, Sindel, Ermac, Kabal and many more. Characters they never do anything with or waste... Noob Saibot, Jax, Reiko, Johnny Cage, Ermac, Rain, Cassie, Kenshi, Reptile, Sub Zero, Fujin, Erron Black and of course the most under used character of all time Havik.

People can say what they want…but MK11 looks better than MK1(23) ..intros, outtros, some costumes…it actually makes more since than this reboot!

Finish metroid. There's only 1 left is there not?

I think MK trilogy Johnny is the most boring, It's the one with the least personality at least

Cage is not the heart and soul of Mk

mortal kombat sucks
