A [[Web Original]] series directed by Kevin Tancharoen loosely based on his pitch video, ''[[Mortal Kombat Rebirth]]''. While the pitch video was more realistic, this series is closer to the [[Mortal Kombat|source material.]]
[[Big Bad|Shao Kahn]] and [[The Dragon|Shang Tsung]] are obsessed with ruling over the various [[Another Dimension|realms]], and by winning the [[Mortal Kombat]] tournament, they can do just that. The Earthrealm, ([[Exactly What It Says
It debuted on April 12, 2011, and the series can be seen [http://www.youtube.com/show/mortalkombatlegacy?s=1 here.]

* [[A Day in
** Episodes 1 and 2 focus on Jax, Sonya and Kano.
** Episode 3 focuses on Johnny Cage.
Line 19:
* [[Alternate Universe]]
* [[Art Shift]]: Done during episodes 4 and 5; most of the narration and exposition about Kitana's and Mileena's backstories are done in a minimalistic animated fashion, acting as segues between live-action dialogue and fight scenes.
* [[Badass Normal]]: In keeping with its [[Doing
** Of particular note is Hanzo Hasashi, the then-future [[Playing
* [[Badass Beard]]: Raiden sports a pretty awesome bit of two-tone chin bristle.
* [[Bedlam House]]: {{spoiler|Raiden}} finds himself mistakenly committed to one, after showing up one day.
Line 28:
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Episode 2's fight between Kano and Briggs. After Kano taunts Briggs that he's going to enjoy this as much as he enjoyed torturing Sonya, he promptly fails to land one blow as [[Tranquil Fury|Briggs beats the tar out of him]].
* [[Cyborg|Cyborgs]]: Sektor and Cyrax are featured in the final episode of season one.
* [[Deal
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: [[The Mighty Thor|A thunder god falls to earth]] [[Ultimate Marvel|and ends up confused for a mental patient?]]
* [[Doing
* [[Eye Scream]]: {{spoiler|Kano's}} beat-down by Jax and the subsequent surgery.
** Raiden's "treatment" in the mental hospital.
* [[False
* [[Genre Shift]]: Each time the story shifts perspectives to different characters, the genre shifts as well.
** Episodes 1 and 2 (Jax/Sonya/Kano) play out like ''[[
** Episode 3 (Johnny Cage) is a [[Biopic]].
** Episodes 4 and 5 (Kitana/Mileena) have a [[Fairy Tale]] vibe going.
** In Episode 6, Raiden is put in ''[[One Flew Over the
** Episodes 7 and 8 (Scorpion/Sub-Zero) are pretty much [[Jidai Geki]].
** Episode 9 (Cyrax/Sektor) has a [[Sci Fi]] tone.
* [[Helmets Are Hardly Heroic]]: When the SWAT team raids Kano's warehouse in the first episode, Stryker and Jax are the only ones who don't wear helmets.
* {{spoiler|[[Jerkass]]: One of the executives Johnny Cage beat up after he heard they're using another actor. As Johnny Cage walks away, the executive showed his true colors and threatened to make sure Johnny will never get another job again.}}
* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: {{spoiler|Jerrod to Kitana. But of course, you already knew that.}}

Line 53 ⟶ 51:
*** Also when Jax and Kano are fighting over a gun and accidentally shoot an explosive charge into the ground and their feet.
** The asylum orderly after Raiden not only shrugs off the taser, but it actually makes him stronger. Maybe pumping electricity into the god of thunder isn't such a great idea.
* [[Precision F
* [[Psycho Psychologist]]: The guy who runs the Asylum Raiden is commited to. While believing a man who thinks he is the God of Thunder might need medical help is not unreasonable, that is no excuse for acting like a total ''dick'' to him for the duration, or any of your other patients, mocking his apparent delusions and controlling everyone with violence and intimidation. Not to mention Raiden is locked up in his institution not so much for that, as for magically appearing on the aslyum grounds, and they make no effort to inform the authorities of the fact, both of which qualify this as kidnapping.
* [[Real After All]]: Meta version. Based on the ''Rebirth'' trailer, many thought that this would entirely forgo the mysticism of the series in favor of [[Doing
* [[Recycled in Space]]: Invoked. {{spoiler|Johnny Cage makes a last-ditch pitch for a series, complete with on-spec pilot, to TV executives. They said they can't help him, and the network already decided that before they showed up. After they leave, he heads out, only to accidentally hear them pitching the exact same thing he just showed them to a female action star, only ''she's'' in the title role. [[Berserk Button|He beats up one of the executives, plus several security guards, then walks away]].}}
* [[The Scapegoat]]: Elder Sub-Zero {{spoiler|for Quan Chi with regards to the slaughter of Hanzo Hasashi's clan}}
* [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right]]: Jax
* [[Slasher Smile]]: Mileena, when showing her Tarkatan side.
* [[Tempting Fate]]:
