Ironically, during their inevitable Girl's Night Out Episode, it's Sonya who asks Kitana if she ever misses just being a woman, what with all the fighting. Earlier in the episode, Sonya attempted to get herself a makeover, only to be given a sexist remark from Jax. |

Broad Strokes |
| | Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm / int_547196be |
comment |
Broad Strokes: From time to time, in regards to the first movie: When Sub-Zero introduces himself, he reveals to be the young brother of the old one, killed by Liu Kang. In the games, the elder Sub-Zero, who would become Noob Saibot, was killed by Scorpion. In the Liu Kang vs. Sub-Zero scene in this series, Kitana sported her outfit from the series, and Sub-Zero (the elder) was finished by Liu Kang throwing a water bucket to him, freezing him. In the first movie, Kitana wore a different outfit, and Liu Kang finished Sub-Zero by throwing said water bucket to him, but the water became a big spearhead, and nailed Sub-Zero to the wall and then got himself frozen. Another Liu Kang kill that was softened for the cartoon was Shang Tsung. Sure, he's still reduced to a skeleton upon defeat, but one: he just turns into bones, instead of actually emaciating, and two: the bed of spikes where Shang Tsung landed in the movie is absent. The cartoon was made to take place after a second movie - however such second movie was only made and released after the cartoon! The most notable "carry-over" was Johnny Cage being dead. |

What Happened to the Mouse?: Despite this being a follow up to the movie, Johnny Cage is neither seen nor mentioned. According to the Series Bible, this is because he was planned to die in the movie's sequel, but such sequel was only released after the cartoon and doesn't really line up with it. |

Ambiguously Bi: Jax, of all people. He calls Raiden girlfriend on at least one occasion, his first response to defending Sub-Zero is "Hey I don't want to marry the guy!", and flips his lid when you call him "blubber butt". At the same time, he had a (sort of) romantic relationship with Ruby, isn't sure if being surrounded by women pointing spears at him is a dream or a nightmare, and has some subtext with Sonya. |

Lighter and Softer: Naturally, given this is a kids show based off of the ultraviolent video game series, this cartoon tones down the violence considerably, long before Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. The harshest thing to appear in the series was a flashback to Shang Tsung's death as shown in the movie, but even that was softened. |

The Gods Must Be Lazy: Shao Kahn and Outworld decide to break the rules of the Mortal Kombat and take over Earthrealm despite losing the tournament. This should mean that the Elder Gods should smite Kahn and Raiden should destroy any of his forces that try to enter Earthrealm. Instead, Outworld is allowed to repeatedly attempt to invade without consequence and Raiden tells the Defenders that it's their job to protect their realm, with him only occasionally helping. |

In the Liu Kang vs. Sub-Zero scene in this series, Kitana sported her outfit from the series, and Sub-Zero (the elder) was finished by Liu Kang throwing a water bucket to him, freezing him. In the first movie, Kitana wore a different outfit, and Liu Kang finished Sub-Zero by throwing said water bucket to him, but the water became a big spearhead, and nailed Sub-Zero to the wall and then got himself frozen. |

Backported Development: When Liu Kang has a flashback about his victory over Shang Tsung, the latter has the beard and facepaint he uses on this series, from Mortal Kombat 3, even though he didn't have them in the live-action movie, which the flashback represents. Zigzagged with Kano. When he's shown in a flashback of Sonya's partner's death, he wears his Mortal Kombat 3 outfit, yet in a flashback to their fight in the movie, both Sonya and Kano have their movie looks. During the flashback to Liu Kang's battle with the elder Sub-Zero, Kitana appears in her look from this series rather than the tank top and pants she wore in the movie. |

He was presumably created due to the show loosely following the canon of the first movie, where Shang Tsung was killed by Liu Kang. Komodai and Karbrac for Reptile and Baraka, respectively, to the point where "Karbrac" is almost a total anagram for "Baraka". |

Cross Through: "Resurrection" is the third part of a four-part storyline aired on November 16, 1996 about a "Warrior King" chasing down a powerful MacGuffin through four (otherwise unrelated) USA Network Saturday morning cartoons (alongside Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm, the other three cartoons had included Street Fighter, Savage Dragon, and Wing Commander Academy). Two notes regarding this: unlike the other three parts, this episode features only the MacGuffin, with the Warrior King himself only appearing as an unexplained shadow for all of five seconds and because Street Fighter itself was one of the four cartoons that was featured and included as a part of this storyline, this is the closest scenario that the two Dueling Games have ever come to interacting. |
