Line 6:
[[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 on the Tin|the realm that contains Earth]]) has found itself an unwitting participant, with only a few humans who understand just what losing the tournament means.
It debuted on April 12, 2011, and the series can be seen [http://www.youtube.com/show/mortalkombatlegacy?s=1 here.]

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 with Fire|Scorpion]], using nothing but a simple rope and kunai to fend off a very true-to-form [[Legacy Character|Elder]] [[An Ice Person|Sub-Zero]] {{spoiler|who is actually [[Evil Sorcerer|Quan Chi]] in disguise. Hasashi is then killed by Quan Chi to pave the way for his resurrection as Scorpion.}}
* [[Badass Beard]]: Raiden sports a pretty awesome bit of two-tone chin bristle.
Line 30:
* [[Deal with the Devil]]: Shang Tsung goes to Johnny Cage, promising that he can get away from it all.
* [[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.
Line 52:
** 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-Strike]]: Jax to Stryker about protocol, right before heading off to rescue Sonya. Followed two seconds later by Stryker's own, when he takes Jax's side.
* [[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}}
