Okay the Keepers of Time trailer is gotta be one of my favorites next to the Lin Kuei. Liu Kang’s second fatality is so phenomenal and beautiful, I kept rewatching that part so many times. Also my boy kameo Scorpion’s fatal blow is 🙏🙏.
The trailers overall is so awesome, I love it!!! I’m so hyped for this game 🫡

okay, i can't wait anymore, time to break down the new mortal kombat trailer
Putting my mad theories and obvious spoilers for the ending and dlc for MK11 under read more because i would never subject any of this to you all unwillingly.
So it looks like Netherrealm have fully committed to establishing a new setting for the Mortal Kombat universe, which probably means a lot of the canon is going to be rewritten or otherwise changed.
So far in this trailer: Fire/Time/Lightning God Liu Kang, Kitana, Mileena, Scorpion, Sub Zero and Shang Tsung are confirmed. Shang Tsung appears to be a preorder exclusive, which is shitty because this trailer makes him out to be one of, if not the big bad.
Two people who look like Kung Lao are seen with Liu Kang throughout the trailer, however they have different hats.
so first thing is we have this hat, remind you of anything?
i think this is our boy kung lao, its missing the iconic blade, but we might see that change in the game
as for this guy ^, his hat reminded me an awful lot of Raiden's hat that we see at the end of MK 11 DLC
if this is Raiden, then it's probably going to be a return of mortal Raiden who now acts as an advisor to Fire/Time God Liu Kang. But it'll be nice to see all three of them together if that's the case, and i can't wait to see how their personalities have adapted in the new power dynamic. now that im looking at the outfits, the hat diagnosis makes more sense
Based on the Kitana and Mileena carriage scene, Outworld has a new oasis-esque look, or we might be getting a look at Edenia. But what is INTERESTING is the colour of the carriage! The carriage is PURPLE, which at first made me think that in this new timeline Mileena might be princess of Outworld instead of Kitana (Liu Kang maybe designed it that way to make their relationship less stressful?), BUT!
THE PURPLE ON THE CARRIAGE DOESN'T MATCH MILEENA! You can just about see in this screenshot (you'll have to click for higher resolution cuz tumblr hates anything above 64 bits), but Mileena's theme is more magenta, whereas the inside of the carriage (which matches the outside) is PURPLE. Who do we know associated with Outworld and the colour purple?
Our favourite retcon! This probably doesn't confirm Sindel showing up but it does strongly imply that Mileena and Kitana are riding in a carriage made for their mum! Which is a cute little nod to past canon and may indicate that Sindel has died again? or is otherwise not present, whether or not she might be a revenant is yet unknown.
Scorpion and Sub Zero seem to be allies again, which means we should get more of the friendship they had in MK11. They also appear to be in a tea shop (new au fucking sorted), and possibly in the Shirai-Ryu base? they are very matchy-matchy so this may be a hint to them fully teaming up?
also the eclipse/portal shit we see matches the fire portals we've already seen in the MK11 DLC, which implies that timeline fuckery is still occurring somehow and appears to be the main source of conflict in MK1.
phew, anyway that's all i have for now. if anyone wants to join me in theorising or mad speculation, please feel free to reblog and add on, im really interested in what other people think!

Syzoth: The mouthy one compared me to the Predator. He said you would know what he meant.
You: Um...yeah. They are characters in a movie, usually depicted as villains. Though I assume he said it only because you can go invisible.
Syzoth gives you a curious look, raising his brow. You hum in thought, not sure if you made sense or not. Taking out your phone, you pull a trailer up for the first movie.
You: I'll show you.
Syzoth sits down beside you on the couch and leans in so that he can see the screen. He's arm to arm with you, so close to you that his scent permeates your nose. Your face turns red, but you try to focus on the trailer. A moment later, he moves in closer, pressing himself against you, making your body tense up.
Syzoth: My apologies. You're warm.
You: It's no problem.
Yet your stomach is in knots. You tell yourself that his species might favor the heat due to being reptilian, and not because he wants to get close to you. It helps a bit, but this closeness only motivates you to want his affection.
You: Do you want to watch it?
Syzoth (grinning): I'm interested.
Your face heats up. Perhaps he will even stay where he is. You don't--
Johnny (shouting): Hey, interspecies erotic! Not on my couch!
You could truly kill him.
