The Evolution of Johnny Cage - Mortal Kombat Monday.

- Johnny Cage is one of the most legendary characters to ever grace the Mortal Kombat franchise. Sure, he can be extremely arrogant, and his mouth gets him into some very deserved trouble, but there's more to the story than just his rugged exterior. He's more than just a famous Hollywood actor. He's a tremendously skilled martial artist nearly driven to madness by the public's insistence that he's no more than a phony, jabroni stuntman. Entering the Mortal Kombat tournament to prove his worth not only to his critics, but himself, was as high stakes as a gamble can get, and it didn't always pay off. On this special episode of Mortal Kombat Monday, we're taking a look at the entire history of MK's resident movie star. From A lister to dead man, from untapped potential to the leader of the free world's most powerful combatants, and everywhere in between. This... is The Evolution of Johnny Cage!
(Season 2, Episode 20)

I wonder where the series would be today if Van Damme had agreed to be Johnny Cage in the first game?
The only thing I would know is that the name would be to kumite
Seeing my boy, Johnny Cage finally get that Main Event push was absolutely wonderful! I sincerely hope that the Cage Family makes it to Mortal Kombat 12. There's others I want to see as well, but I got a special place for the Cages.
We'll see!
Liu Kang would be awesome to see. He has been a staple frome the beginning and the weird zombie version is just hilarious.
Johnny Cage is like Kenny from South Park. Used to die in every episode for the first few seasons and now is a main protagonist that dies every now and then
I love how you refer to a character alignment in other things besides wrestling as baby face or heel because I do the same thing lol
Man, I just gotta tell ya: I love this channel. I get excited everytime I see a video from you and it always feels like stepping back in time to sitting on the couch playing real co-op with friends and shooting the shit. Keep up all the hard work! You're legit appreciated.
Isn't crazy that old kano looks like Austin Aries?😲🤔
Mortal Kombat X Johnny looks like a prime WCW Disco Inferno.
And Geras looks like Moose from Impact Wrestling as well. Lol
@@BSmokeyGaming HEY BABE.😘😘😘😘✅ CHECK IT OUT.😎
My grandma likes both Johnny cage and raiden when is the ranking every mk character going to be out
That’s fire that ya grandma knows about mortal Kombat lol 😂💪🏽💯
Would love to see an Evolution of Jax, Liu Kang and Scorpion.
ah, this is gonna be so sick! 🔥🔥🔥
Loved the Batman and Robin Sega Genesis background music.
Johnny Cage was my favorite from the first time I played Mortal Kombat on SNES in 2012. Despite my family and friends being PISSED that I was actually good with a character and could do combos. His evolutions was so interesting to listen to, glad you could give my favorite character some justice. Can't wait to see whose next
Thanks for watching, glad you liked it!
Another fantastic video my friend!! Johnny Cage has always been my favorite MK character, and your breakdown of his growth, and change throughout the years was spot on!
Another fantastic video. You're on a hell of a streak.
Do the evolution of kano, I feel he has an interesting evolution.
One Love
Amazing video as always can't wait to see who the next evolution of video will be about
Amazing video, Ian! Congrats!
This evolution series is really cool.
Keep up the god work dude
Really kicking myself for missing the premiere for this one, but it was well worth the wait! Excellent video as always my man!
This is such an incredible series - so many character episodes to look forward to!
Ian, I'm actually stunned that you didn't do a nut punch side note with a practically gift-wrapped "NUT PUNCH FOR YOUR DEEDS!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Johny Cage and Lui Kang are my favorite characters from the Mortal Kombat franchise! 👍🏻 thank you Ian I love Mortal Kombat Monday’s! 😎
Thanks brudda!
Another awesome video, friend!
Thanks Steph! Always happy when your name pops up. =)
Awesome Job Bro🤘Luv when U dive into the the story lines of Mortal Kombat 💙So Bad Ass. Thanks So Much! So Glad I'm a Dan-Dan🤘🖤😝🖤🤘
I am pumped man.
One Love
Wow this gave me a newfound appreciation for Johnny's character. I didn't realize he had so many ups and downs in the franchise's history and now I see why he's earned such a star role in the new timeline. Thanks for this!
Looking slick and loved the vid! Keep it up homie, can't wait to see you again sometime!!
Likewise, brudda. Always good to hear from you. Hope you're doing well!
Just got into the channel and I love it. You're hilarious and remind me of my hero AVGN. Much love, Ian.
This will be an amazing series if u keep it up my guy. My favorite characters in MK are Shang Tsung and Ermac. While I'll watch every video you put out, i will have a deep appreciation for those two
Glad I couldn't sleep and saw your video never new cage story cause I never played as him great video 616
great video which i didnt earlier find the time to watch.... thanks!
Thanks for coming back to this one!
@@616Entertainment thanks for notifying me in the other video. What a work you put in these videos. I stopped making videos because of time issues. I have nothing but respect for you
Dude I love this this evolution videos! I know there has only been 2 but they are so good my dude👍 I became I bit more of a cage fan man, what an evolution!
#ThanksForWhatYouDo

Thanks man, I appreciate it. These are fun to do.
Before I was a fan of the franchise,even though I knew of Mortal Kombat's existence,I never heard of Johnny Cage in my life,my first NRS game and experience might have been Injustice,but MK9 was my first world opening of the franchise and the game that started it all for me,Johnny Cage is a character that over time and slowly became one of my favorite characters in the series,MKX permanently make him into a well written and developed character that should appear in every game because he has become very unique and iconic to the lore(even though I dispice and hate MK11 and Aftermath by it's horrendous story modes and wasted potential and opportunity for bringing all the characters from the Original Trilogy which I'm still piss about it),I will love to see him again in the unexpected future.
Great episode, dandan.
Thanks brudda.
Currently I'm on a Johnny Cage kick in MK11, so i appreciate this. Hes my second fav character and proves you can have comic relief while maintaining a respectable status.
Finally! Thanks man
I've got a ton of irons in the fire, give me a break, hahahaha
@@616Entertainment I understand 100% I've been enjoying every video thus far.
I need more of these videos in my life.
EVE OLUTION IS A MYSTERY!!
Great video. I’d love to see Jax get some shine, but no hurry I know you’re extremely busy!
"what a cool Lightning DAD" might be the best quote of this video
Dude, no doubt. It's true.
Do more evolution videos these are awesome I love these videos
damn man as always another 10/10.
Really love your MK videos. Hope you do evolution of Scorpion one day. Great video as always, Ian.👍
Nice, great episode of Johnny Cage! Hope we get one of Liu Kang, or Scorpion, either way I'm ready for another Evolution Of MK characters. Oh yea, are we gone get the finale of MK Shaolin Monks!? 💯💯💯💯
Excellent video more evolution vids johnny cage has evolved to become the man of the franchise where as Liu kang and scorpion are the faces of the franchise
Love these Evolution videos! Would love to see Ermac's
He could be a fun one for sure.
I often picked Johnny Cage in the original MK, because the glasses reminded me of Bret Hart. 😆
Plus he’s a mark for himself
@@cameronjohnson9361 😆 Truth.
Another instant classic. I always liked Johnny but he wasn’t ever one of those characters I played as much, his personality from the movie was more what drew me to him as a character. Seeing him come into his own in the recent games was definitely a good touch.
Future Evolution videos are definitely something I’d love to see. Jax, Kano, and my boy Shang Tsung are definite votes from me!
I like these suggestions. Thanks brudda. And thanks for letting me use your animation in the beginning, obviously!
Loved it, Cage has always been my favorite. Maybe do Sonya next?
In the last MKA video, I mentioned MKA was the first MK I ever played, that was purely a lucky pick up by my brother, but when I seen Mortal Kombat again at game stop, I knew exactly what I was getting myself in to… except I didn’t and I bought Deadly Alliance, but Johnny Cage is the only person I’ve beaten it more than once with!
My first mk game was mortal kombat 9 and I did not care about the characters at the time now I do I was 6 or five when I played it
I never knew about half the info in this video😅 so thanks for this..never would have guessed he had such a life.
Thank you for watching!
Ermac should be next! There's a lot of underappreciated lore with this character
Ermac is so dope.
This channel rules.
It's great how Johnny Cage went from no name fighter to a popular mainstay in the series. I started warming up to him around MK 4 and Deadly Alliance.
As for his career in virtual wrestling, he's been a two DWA (DeMuro Wrestling Association) World Heavyweight champion and the last DWA Voltage World Champion
He was a two time WWT Champion a former WWT North American champion & a three time WWT Tag Team Champion with Liu Kang
Love me, hate me, take me, leave me, I'm a Dan Dan all day everyday and you know I love the content. Fuck the haters, Ian ur the best
The Emily blunt bit 😂😂😂
I like the character development they did with Johnny from being a cocky movie star to a enjoyable character hell they showed it in mk11 story mode he couldn’t stand his former self great video ian
Thanks!
Once again I want to thank you for putting us on the straight narrow path in this complicated cluster mug! Seriously your work is greatly appreciated; I now understand why Johnny Cage was removed from Annihilation. I hope you will do night Wolf by November cuz, you know for Indians.
Nightwolf is heavily featured in something I'm working on at the moment, actually.
@@616Entertainment Coolness! Can't wait to see it! What is it? 🤔
Johnny Cage is my favorite character
He is in the top 2
I love the Cage family! Part 10 is awesome and so is 11💚💚💚
Johnny was always my favorite character in the series
I loved the bracelet! 💓
Thanks! I have the rainbow around the 616 logo at all times, as well.
I've always loved Johnny Cage. He's the man.
Heres Johnny!
Evolution is a mystery!!!
The Evolution movie it's a very enjoyable and watchable movie.
You do great work bro in general but I love the MK/resident evil vids. What about a scorpion evolution vid
We'll see. There's so much Scorpion coverage in the Sub-Zero episode (because they overlap so much) that I felt like I should put him off. But this episode also really didn't do well at launch, I felt like it wasn't worth doing more. We'll see.
@@616Entertainment I see it makes sense I guess. Obviously you see peoples reactions so who better than you to decide. Side note we still need the newer stuff for the history of the resident evil franchise, lol. Keep up the good work 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Johnny Cage has always been my favorite
Hope you enjoyed this!
Your insistence on going game by game reminds me of Glenn Webb god rest his soul he was an action figure CZcamsr who liked to do series of videos going through each release of a character in plastic form I honest to God miss the man every day that's what I like about your work most creators sure they make me feel nostalgic but you do your damnedest to put your viewers right in the middle of what were better days consider this my love letter to the channel lmao
I've never heard of him, but I'm sad to hear he's no longer with us. =/ That's terrible. Thank you for the kind words, dude.
Really appreciating the Adventures of Batman and Robin soundtrack in the background
I would love to see you do similar video on scorpion. The poster boy of Mortal Kombat.
Infact, would love to see you go some of the canceled content related to him
evolution of Kano would be awesome mate
This is awesome. Johnny cage wins fatality.😎😎😎✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
Even Johnny Cage replaced Liu Kang in X I was hyped. They both my faves so I was happy JC was the chosen for once!
Raiden or Scorpion next for sure.
GREAT VIDEO, Bro! Did you watch GCW? And I’d love an evolution of… Jax, if you have the time!
Get them likes up Dan dans!
Dude whats the music that plays over the ads at the end? Is there a longer version?
'Into The Night' - HIM. It's an instrumental cover.
I think a Sonya Blade Evolution would be cool. I don’t think she gets enough praise for being the first female of MK.
Definitely possible.
I agree. Her never ending war with Kano one of my fav pieces of MK lore.
One day, we'll get the final episode of mk shaolin monks, but until then, we can at least sit back and enjoy videos like this.
Man I deliver crazy variety, let's plays, written, in-depth videos, and no matter what, there's always "where's (video)?" Hahahaha. It's good that there's demand, I suppose, but enjoy what comes as well!
Would love to see Evolution of Kano when you get around to it.
Noted!
I loved what they did with good ol Johnny. My favorite character is Kung Lao to but I always had as spot for Johnny.
Btw, si you guys even realize how frikkin much they movie influenced the games???? Johnny and Sonya together, Johnny realizing he was meant for something more, Shang Tsung's entrance, Kano being an aussie savage...
I want the evolution of baraka
Love Johnny cage, great character
Evolution of Shang Tsung would be nice
My partner and I only have experience with MK9 and onward but we both agree Johnny has the best character development
Watches this ages ago and didn't hit like sorry. Love the guy ( come in he hooked up with Sonya )and all the mk evolution videos.
Hahaha. No worries man, I appreciate the comeback.
Johnny Cage my most favorite MK Character.
Hope you enjoyed it!
This was the perfect starting point. I feel most characters I'd like to see may be a bit obvious (Lui Kang and Scorpion) but other would be short or prove lack of growth.... Kung Lao would probably be the next best choice.
This is the second one, I did Sub-Zero first!
@@616Entertainment my bad. I totally watched that one too. Definitely a great video.
I think you should continue doing these for the original mock cast of fighters. Scorpion next please 😎
And u do a kano yet!? Kano and reptile are my favs!!!! So either of those
Would love to see a reptile or raiden next
Reptile is heavily featured in something I'm working on.
Do the evolution of Liu Kang next.
as a johnny cage fan.. i freaking loved this my whole body got goosebumps i can't explain in words just blows me away on a character i love, no wonder cage my fav cause he loves blondes
Evolution is the film.
The stable was one of my least favorite things about the RA era.
And I'm pretty sure MK Trilogy came out in 1996.
On Playstation, anyway.
I respectfully disagree regarding the canonical status of MK v DC... especially considering how often they mention it in MK11!
Great video, as usual!
Well researched, written, and read!
I said it is canon! That’s it’s actual status. The ‘barely’ comes in because in the MK11 flashback, they’re not wearing the right costumes and even the background is janky. And there are no DC guys. But it still counts! Lol
@@616Entertainment Ahhh... In that case, I 100 % agree.
The different costumes pisses me off still... They even did it in the flashbacks in MKX.
How hard would it have been to include that ONE BIT of continuity?
Anyway, my bad for not listening well.
Johnny cage is my favorite character
History of Jarek next lol
Jarek is featured in something I'm working on.
Can you do one of smoke, Stryker or kabal? Please
Literal LOL at the Emily Blunt quick-cut
Glad you popped for that, hahahaha
Could you do the evolution of reptile please?
I want tje evolution of scorpion next
