If Reptile is the Dragon King, then how come Blaze was guarding an Egg housing the Dragon King, when Reptile co-exists working/desperately slaving for his master Nitara.

Doesn't sound too infant/embryo like to me

Also, this is sarcasm, meaning "who cares" heh - I was trying to do my impression of a comic book store owner, but after re-reading it, it sounds too real.

Where was it said (and I need *exact* quotes!) that Reptile is the DK? In fact, I've heard the exact opposite to your claim as well.

Don't forget that Shinnok was freed from the Netherealm too after MKT although Noob Saibot did not win that tournament and his was the only ending connected to Shinnok.

And "it's on some site" doesn't prove anything. That site is no official property of Midway and I don't think this information on the Dragon King comes from in-game sources.

VQ

It's in MK:DA, as Reptiles ending. I know I'm only fueling this anti-conversation, but that's what message boards are all about, right?

"The Dragon King had Returned" is supposidely "proof" enough for some.

Some people can think the DK Embryo possessed Reptile, other will say it killed him for sustanance.

Either way, it doesn't matter, it's not Reptile either way, it's the Dragon King, heh.

Kenshi's right.

I feel bad for Reptile, he is not generaly an evil character. He is forced on the wrong side because he is the last of his kind. Reptile is only associated with the wrong people. I think having the Dragon King possesing Reptile is a good idea. Reptile alone was not strong enough to defeat the manipulating characters of Mortal Kombat. I think the Dragon King will have all of Reptile's memories and will bring forth a rage that none of the realms could handle. I have a feeling that the Dragon King will cause twice as much damage as Shao Kahn once did.

Let's just pray he's not another shinnok... for the love of god.

Not all endings necessarily happen, as has been pointed out a million times. It would seem very unlikely to me that Boon would turn a peripheral character like Reptile into the Dragon King.

VQ

reptile is as much the dragon king as reiko is shao kahn. agree?

Ya'll don't have to believe me. Proof speaks for itself. Ya'll are just blind. And it's already been said that Reiko's ending was just a "joke".

And to answer zynthetic's first post, they weren't the same person at first. They morphed together. Watch the damn ending again. I mean, hello!? This is Mortal Kombat. ANYTHING can happen. Reptile IS the Dragon King. It may not make sense, but he is. Just like it doesn't make sense to bring Kang back. Or Cage. Or Kabal. They've all "died" somehow, but they all come back. Wow. Yeah, people can be brought back to life, there can be mystical and magical powers ALL OVER the freaking place, but someone can't morph into someone else.......yeah.......right!

Cussing must make you feel important. If you can't figure out by now that the creators of MK change stories at the drop of a hat, and that there isn't garaunteed consistancy, then maybe you should be the one reviewing the entire set of games.

And to answer your last post:

Perhaps if you read everything, you wouldn't be so one sided on your opinoins.

Oh and by the way. Look at the shadow inside the egg. Please, forgive me if I'm wrong, even though I know I'm not, BUT since Boon said Deception takes oiff EXACTLY after DA, like MK:Movie to Annihilation, takes off like hours later, how could a baby dragon grow into something that BIG in mere days!?!? It had to morph or fuse with someone, as Reptile's ending explains perfectly. So there ya go. You don't even have any proof that Reptile ISN'T the Dragon King, while as there is tons of proof that support the fact. The ending. The mere thought of how something can't get that big in days only. Dragon King has green scaly skin. Wow, thats ironic (sarcasm). On other threads, as well as what I've heard on a Total Mortal Kombat thread, all of these different people has said that the MK team THEMSELVES have said that Reptile's ending DID IN FACT happen and Reptile IS the Dragon King. What's your proof?? NADA!

I have one question.......

Has boon confirmed that reptile is the dragon king? No! And until he does it makes no sense to brag about he actually is the DK.

Simple Fact:

Reptile's body is host for the Dragon King.

It pretty much ends the discussion.

Does it mean Reptile is the Dragon King? No, because the Dragon King has existed before Reptile has.

However, did the Dragon King take over Reptiles body? All signs point to yes. Why yes? Because it would seem pretty asinine to have Dragon King just come out of nowhere and Reptile just trouncing along somewhere else while this happened.

Dragon King needed a host, Reptile is that host.

hahahahahahahhaha

I'll be sure to give you my thesis on the birth cycling of dragons and mythical creatures as soon as I see one.

Bingo was his nameo... assuming they stick to the story.

Yeah thats what I mean. They linked. All the evidence points to it. And I've looked around and it seems that everyone who has said the MK team confirmed Reptile's ending happened, was at fight night. Okay. Lets narrow down the evidence.

1. Reptile gets "twisted and transformed"
2. Boon and Co. said his ending happened at fight night, or so many people say.
3. Dragon King resembles Reptile in some ways like the green scaly skin.
4. Dragon King needs a host to grow and become strong because he's just a little bitty thing in DA. I doubt it would be much of a battle if you had to fight a VERY small dragon. And Reptile was right there. Why would the Dragon King go in search for a host when there is one right in front of his face, he wouldn't because Reptile was already there.

I'm going to close down my comments after this one... but my comic book store owner response was geared towards a picky choice of wording.

Reptile = DK

Is not the same as

Reptile is DK's choice host.

As the JOKE, the comic book store owner response was intended to be biased and one sided. I didn't actually think you'd fire up so fast kenshi, sheesh.

Especially about "how could a dragon could grow up so quickly", that was classic, hahaha

nbnf

reptile=not dk now moving on...

Oh god...

At Fight Night, the MK CREW itself confirmed that Reptile would indeed be the Dragon King. I suggest reading the transcript slowly, before making babbling statements.

First of all... even if Reptile's ending happened it doesn't mean that he is the Dragon King. Boon and Co. said at fight night that Reptile will be more Dragon like, not the Dragon King himself... I haven't seen anything yet that says Reptile is the Dragon King...
Second of all... if Reptile's ending does happen... yes a bolt of energy does hit him... yes his squirmish body is twisted and transformed... yes the Dragon King had returned... ok now lets break this down... the egg hatching in itself is a sign of the Dragon King returning... now the reaction of the dragon egg hatching has nothing to do with the soul of the dragon king from the storyline from what I can tell at least... the egg hatching was an omen of whats to come and thats why the followers of the DK put it into incubation and Blaze was guarding it... and Blaze being in the chamber do you think that if Reptile were the DK that the DK would of done something to Blaze...maybe that will be explained in MKD... Reptile might be the Dragon King, he might be a sub-boss in his transformed form, but but but this doesn't mean that Reptile=DK so I won't get over it until I see absolute proof which would be a quote from the MK team/official storyline segments...

MajinTsung I agree completly!

first off all shut the hell up.

DONT EVER talk about my homeboy kabal, he never died and either did khan, they both lived. Mavado doesnt know how to get a job done.

and also DK is not reptile, these are the exact words of BOON, you heard me BOON. below.

" reptiles ending did indeed happen. his amulet he holds when off and the light hatched the last known dragon egg. It is said that u need to tranport souls into the DK army for them to come alive again. but it is said that u need to tranport blood from an embreyo from an egg, to revive the DK (thats means the egg has to be abortion, that also means they use the blood form the dead dragon embryo which means the DK isnt the baby dragon that is just used for the blood to revive the DK. reptile amulet went off he didnt) reptile did evolve into a more HUMAN LIKE body AGAIN, cause DK is part of his race, and it is said that when he is AWAY from his race he turns more reptile, more animal like. but when he is near his race again ( the DK is his race) then he turn human little by little.

so he might look like mk4 or ninja reptile, so he did DEevolve into more human, thats explains his tranformation.

the amulet opened the egg. the egg was used for the DK body( which is buried in the tomb in the middle where all the army guys are. ( which means he also has his own body and doesnt need a host.)

you said it yourself noobie, how does DK get so big if he a baby egg,well tell me this.

HOw does the Dk get so big so fast if he useing reptiles body.

same shit enough said, i am right reptile tured more human OR more reptile or stoped growing cause he sees his race again.

good storyline though cause everybody wants him human again anyway, thats why they did that ending IMO.

and reptile IS NOT the DK and i proved it so stfu.

oh yea also some stupid person that went to E3 knows about a major spoiler bout reptile and told me he wasnt DK, but he wouldnt tell me the fucking spoiler and i PM him like million times oh well.

thats another proof, those cool people covering E3 know wtf they are talking about and u kknow they DO

Damn it, Marcel! I was going to say that! j/k

But seriously, it's not black and white anymore. I think they have changed this plot twist for story reasons. Although I'm sure Rep is linked with the DK, there might be a piece of the puzzle we're not seeing yet.
