History WesternAnimation / MortalKombatLegendsBattleOfTheRealms

* ApocalypseWow: For the first time ever in the ''Mortal Kombat'' franchise, the merger of the Realms is shown in intricate detail. The worlds overlap each other, different species cross the boundaries and fight against one another... this chaos only delays the destruction of the universe.

** [[spoiler:Johnny Cage]] only has one fight in the tournament and is [[CurbStompBattle completely outmatched]] by [[spoiler:D’Vorah]].

-->[[spoiler:'''The One Being''': ''The destiny of the Realms... is oblivion.'']]

-->'''Shaggy''': Like, [[BorrowedCatchphrase get over here]], man!

-->'''Shinnok''': Then my brothers and sisters will know ''how [[MadGod mad]]'' I really am.

* BigDamnKiss: Sonya plants one on Johnny near the end.

* CrossoverPunchline: Scorpion is jumping around the WB logo instead of [[Franchise/LooneyTunes Daffy Duck]] and the character who pulls him back into the shield is none other than ''[[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Shaggy Rogers]]'', a powerful aura surrounding him and his eyes glowing, who pulls Scorpion into the logo.
-->'''Shaggy''': [[Main/BorrowedCatchphrase Like, get over here, man!]]

** [[spoiler:Raiden is impaled multiple times through the chest before having his neck crushed by Shao Kahn during the second tournament. Unlike his demise in Deception where he [[HeroicSacrifice blew himself up in an attempt to kill Onaga.]] ]]
** [[spoiler:Lao is [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe ripped in half]] by Shao Kahn during the second tournament. A gorier fate than getting his neck snapped in ''Mortal Kombat (2011).'']]
** [[spoiler: Shang forces Stryker to [[MurderBySuicide rip his own head off]] during the tournament. Earlier and gorier than originally having his face caved in by Sindel during the Earthrealm invasion.]]
** [[spoiler: Baraka explodes when Johnny [[EatTheBomb forces a bomb into his mouth]]. This is different to how he dies in MKX, having his brain and heart ripped out by D'Vorah.]]

* ExplainExplainOhCrap: After making the delivery [[spoiler: of the Kamidogu's final piece]], Lin Kuei Grandmaster realises too late ''who'' he just brought it to.
-->'''[[spoiler:Shinnok]]''': What? You thought I had you chasing some bauble?
-->'''Grandmaster''': But... if it is put together-
-->'''[[spoiler:Shinnok]]''': The One Being will come back - and destroy all of existence?
-->'''Grandmaster''': Yes. It is said that mad god Shinnok has searched... ''([[{{Beat}} realization strikes]])'' ''You're Shinnok!''

-->'''Shinnok''': You cannot escape me.\\
'''Scorpion''': I can ''try''.

-->'''Shao Kahn''': You are a fool, Lord - no, just "Raiden" now, isn't it? ''You are a fool, Raiden.''

-->'''Kitana''': Leave ''no one'' alive.
-->'''Johnny Cage (from above)''': Wow, that- that seems a bit harsh.
-->'''Reiko''': [[CaptainObvious There! In the trees!]]
-->'''Johnny Cage''': [[DeadpanSnarker Finally!]] Yeah, I've been up here forever - it's about time you saw me. ''(falls back to the ground)'' Ow, my back! ''(gets up)'' Shiieeet...

-->'''Shao Kahn''': ''You wretched child...'' Did you think I would be so easily defeated?

** The fatalities Shang Tsung and Shao Kahn performed on [[spoiler: Stryker and Kung Lao]] respectively were [[{{Pun}} ripped]] straight out of VideoGame/MortalKombat9.

--> '''Stryker''': I'm on another world, in an evil dictator's castle. Totally normal.

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Here, Liu Kang gets unnecessarily angst-ier. [[spoiler:His backstory involves his [[AdaptationalBackstoryChange parents being brutally murdered.]] Later during the tournament, his best friend Kung Lao is killed off in front of his very eyes, and Raiden, his father figure, gets his neck crushed by Shao Kahn before Liu's match with him.]]

''Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms'' is an animated film that is a sequel to ''WesternAnimation/MortalKombatLegendsScorpionsRevenge'' and the second film of ''WesternAnimation/MortalKombatLegends'' duology. It was released on August 31, 2021.

The plot is based on the events of ''VideoGame/MortalKombat2''. After the events of the first film, Shao Kahn - the Emperor of Outworld - has offered one final Tournament for Earthrealm to participate in... one that will determine the fate of not only Earthrealm, but all of the Realms. Scorpion also takes a journey to find the Kamidogu before it's used to bring back the mysterious One Being.

* SpotlightStealingSquad: Scorpion (and to a lesser extent Sub-Zero) has an entire plot of his own despite not involved with the war between Earthrealm and Outworld. Considering he is Ed Boon's favorite, this is to be expected. [[spoiler:Even during the climax, whereas Kitana, Jax, Sonya and Johnny prioritize in helping civilians, both ninjas help Liu Kang in defeating Shinnok, with Scorpion even destroying the crystal on his forehead, giving Liu Kang the upper hand]].

* Robocam: The audience sees briefly through the points of view of Cyrax, Sektor, and Smoke.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The movie has ''a lot'' of characters - though considering the source material, this isn't a surprise.

** [[spoiler:Granted, he still decided to invade Earthrealm after losing, anyway, and scoffed at the Elder Gods, but in addition to merely settling for Shang Tsung being beaten in the last film, Shao Kahn in this film decided to propose another tournament with the Elder Gods' consent. In the games, Shao Kahn ultimately didn't give a damn what the Gods thought of his actions.]]

* BigDamnKiss: Sonya plants one one Johnny near the end.

* PluckyComicRelief: Johnny Cage seems to spend more time in the movie making snarky comments, unsuccessfully hitting on Sonya and receiving amusing injuries than he does actually fighting.
