Warner Bros. is allegedly “threatening to destroy” a popular YouTube modding channel over, er, some silly Mortal Kombat 1 videos

As popular as they might be, Warner Bros. has seemingly threatened to “destroy” YouTuber ToastedShoes’ channel over his Mortal Kombat 1 mod videos.

While they can obviously get you in a bit of trouble, mods for fighting games are actually pretty popular, primarily because it’s just plain old funny to watch the most random of people or characters duke it out (take this Mortal Kombat 1 Kendrick vs Drake mod, for example).

ToastedShoes is known for a big range of popular modding videos, with Mortal Kombat 1 being amongst so of his most popular.
