Onaga's reason for choosing Liu Kang could be because: 1. He has dragon fire powers and can turn into a dragon 2. He has defeated Shao Kahn twice, the man who poisoned Onaga Also, imagine Liu Kang's soul fighting against Onaga for control over his own body.

I was thinking about this video lately when thinking what would I do if I were in the charge of the next game story. My first tought would be a hard reboot, basically remaking the REAL Mortal Kombat 1 and reimagining the whole original timeline, but that would very optimistically take at least 30 years until MKA and to start telling new stories. A lot of fans from the 90s would be dead. The other idea would be an "unreboot", making a sequel of MKA, maybe using some elements of the NRS games. The game would need a recapitulation feature for new players, tho. It could also reimagine at least part of Armageddon story to setup this sequel. MKX premise really works wonderfully as a sequel to Armageddon. Adding some more ideas, getting a bit fanfic-y: I like the idea of Fire God Liu Kang as new mentor and Earthrealm protector. Maybe Liu Kang could be the one to get Blaze power after somehow getting control of his body during the pyramid battle. At some point he could purge the evil from Dark Raiden, but as side effect Raiden would become younger, reversing the roles between him and Liu Kang. Raiden would become Liu Kang apprentice for some day return to his role as Earthrealm protector. I don't know if we can go back and change Johnny and Sonya relationship in the original timeline in this scenario, but they could still hooked up after MK4. Sonya gets pregnant and has the baby but don't see Johnny fit to be a father or herself to be a mother and a SF/OIA agent at the same time. She gives her daughter for adoption to someone she trusts, the honorably retired cop Kurtis Stryker. The kid grows up as Cassie Stryker. I wouldn't necessarly make Cassie the main character, tho. I really don't like the explanation for Cage family powers. If I had to make the green energy a canon thing and not just a gameplay mechanic, I would just make it a side effect of Johnny's resurrection. I'm considering a different character to be the protagonist: the new Nightwolf. The Great Spirit doesn't really fit well with MK pantheon as appears in the NRS games. I would make The Great Spirit and Cetrion one character. She's a Elder Goddess of life that sympathized with the values of the Matoka tribe. She is either the inspiration for the Great Spirit or she claimed to be the Great Spirit when communicating with the Matoka. The Great Spirit could be a disguise so the other Elder Gods don't find out about Cetrion interference with mortals. She could be involved in the story trying to undue what Shinnok did. Shinnok's plans are not very clear in MKX imo. He attacks the Sky Temple to have access to the Elder Gods, how would he defeat them? Then he gets to the Sky Temple and starts to corrupt the Jinsei, I guess to make himself more powerful. But in the arcade ending his plan is to bring back the One Being, never explained how he manage to merge the realms. Wouldn't the One Being just devour Shinnok too? And what would Shinnok do if he manage to escape the One Being? There would be nothing left to him. I would make Shinnok plan to make a revenant of the One Being, with the combined power of him, Quan-Chi and revenant Nightwolf. I would make the conflict of the Nightwolves a big part of the story. The Jinsei being the lifeforce of the realm, it would be a remaining of the One Being lifeforce. Shinnok's plan would be to make a revenant of the One Being that he believes he can control and that doesn't necessarily undoe the realms like bring back the real One Being would. I was thinking in the end Shinnok could be consumed by the revenant One Being, ending the character story. I'm not sure about the revenant One Being as the actual final boss or it could be destroyed before completely forming in a cutscene. That could lead to ending all the revenants like the destruction of forming revenant Johnny Cage resurrected some characters in MKX. The new protector of Netherrealm could be either Sareena, a reformed Noob Saibot/Bi-Han or Scorpion. As for the sequel, I would bring Onaga, it's long overdue. He could have flyed with Shao Kahn like in MKA Pyramid battle cutscene with their status considered unknow during this game story with Onaga return being teased at the end. I know is weird to make a big comment like this in an old video, but I was thinking about this topic for weeks, I want to put out there somewhere.

Some random ideas I'd use in a post MK Armageddon game in the original timeline: Takeda becoming Scorpion: Sort of an alternate angle of Takeda becoming connected to Scorpion. Instead of training with Scorpion, Takeda is resurrected with part of Scorpion's soul. Without training, Takeda was nearly killed while seeking vengeance against the Red Dragon and offered Scorpion's power as a means of carrying out his revenge in exchange for becoming one of Shinnok's minions. Alternate daughter of Johhny Cage: Basically imagine Cassie with a different mother. She still has Johhny's powers, but her fighting style isn't Special Forces influenced and her personality and name are far enough removed that she's like a completely different person. New Sub Zero: One of Sub Zero's surviving cryomancer students. At some point, he began resorting to using cybernetics to enhance his abilities and become a more efficient fighter at the cost of his soul. He doesn't have as strong of a moral compass as his predecessor, and brings the Lin Kuei closer to their past as Assassins. Tarkatan Soul Eater: Looking back to their half-demon origin, I'd have a Tarkatan discover his people possess a strong natural affinity for the same sorcery studied by Shang Tsung. Shokan King/Queen: As far as I can tell, we never saw Goro's parents die in the original timeline, I'd assume they're still alive to use as roster members.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but what states Quan Chi wasn't a necromancer before the reboot? If he could do necromancy, then what was with the skeleton warriors he summoned in the Armageddon intro? If this is about him needing Shang Tsung's help reviving Onaga's army, I assumed based on the cutscenes that this was about putting souls into the army's bodies, since that's what it looked like in the Deadly Alliance opening cutscene and Shang Tsung doing stuff with souls was well established. Again, maybe I'm completely wrong, so if I am, please tell me what I'm missing.

I've noticed that with MK1 around the corner, there's an opportunity to integrate the game into the merged timeline. This has the potential to bring a fresh perspective. In this iteration, Liu Kang has ascended to the status of a god, Takeda has taken up Sento following Kenshi's legacy, and both Johnny and Sonya have gracefully retired from their active roles. With the realms having enjoyed years of peaceful coexistence, the stage is set for a new generation of characters and stories. Naturally, it’s your choice to do this or not.

I think you can still have Kung Jin falling out with the White Lotus work in this version without bringing his sexuality as the centerpiece if you want. You can do it by him being the one who keeps demanding that they all storm the Netherealm and save their fellow White Lotus/Family member Liu Kang with the White Lotus being too busy with helping the other realms out or deeming Liu Kang's soul to be too corrupted to be restored and thus, needs to be put down. With Kung Lao being stuck in the middle, wanting to help his Nephew and help save Liu Kang but also knowing that there are far greater threats like Shinnok that have to be taken care of first. Also I think it would be cool for Cyrax and Smoke to be the ones who take on the Tekunin and even being the ones who help Frost see the error in her ways rather than Sub Zero as it would show her that there are other Lin Kuei out there that are not as unflappable as Sub Zero and also see that she can still change for the better as evident by the two veteran ninjas with their own dark pasts.

NRS Story: Full of contrivances, contradictions, misuse of characters, very little reimagined concepts that are actually clever, plot holes that one doesn't even have to actively look for, dropping interesting teasers like dark Raiden and the revenants in favor of introducing new villains with no build up, unintentionally making Shao Khan a comic relief character (might as well be), constantly falling back on Quan Chi despite having scores of other villains, and lastly, having the villains no longer feel like proper threats. Clown Guy: "Nah, Snake, your reinterpretations are crappy fanfiction that doesn't improve on MK's flaws." (*proceeds to give no examples or offer an alternative take on the story himself*) LOL . _ .

There are gems here and there but 90% is literally just trash. A whole lot of the reason people have gripes with the reboot timeline is that its actually the first time they did actual cinematic story modes, so the lack of polish and not proper use of the fighting game genre in these types of stories is notable. But that only happens because the OG's literally didnt have a story outside of tidbits like Konquest to be judged by.

At least, not fully. And that goes both ways. I'll put it like this: take the depth of the older games and the best of story-telling in the newer titles and combine that with the presentation that we've already been getting with NRS for years now and bam! Honestly, they don't have too far of a way to go in that regard. Like I said before, they've the talent, just needs some refinement in the story telling department. At least in making it more cohesive. But since MK1 is a thing now, maybe that'll be not only organic but hopefully an effortless endeavor.

1:38 While having Revenants story and later battle with Onaga and the mind control heroes would be repetive, I think both situations could play role in Armageddon, In both cases the heroes were forced to fight their friends but in the end save the day by ressuecting them. However this could have consequences: By having the old generation (like Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Sonya, Johnny Cage) alive and hanging out with the new generation (like Cassie, Kung Jin, Frost and Kai) it causes the MK universe to have too many fighters, which triggers Armageddon event.

Kotal is more open and diplomatic from the start, but he's also a wild card in that he's something they've never dealt with before and thus things could potentially turn sour. Mileena meanwhile is violent and ambitious, but the Edenians know how she acts and thus how to possibly start building a relationship bridge with her.

Essentially the kind of person you’d expect Shao Kahn’s daughter to be. But later she’ll imprison and try to actually make peace with Mileena. Because getting to know Liu Kang and other Earthrealm warriors could show her there other ways to do things. That and getting her mother and home world Edenia back could really soften her character.

An idea I’ve been kicking around is a game set in the edenia tournament allowing the outworld characters to get some wins and character development

So, here’s my issues with this: (1. Scorpion being a “god of Vengeance” doesn’t work. You can’t be the God *of* something unless you’re an Earth elemental. This also applies to your ideas of having Kronika be the “God *of* Time”. And Scorpion going after the Elder Gods isn’t a bad idea, but how is that going to work. The Elder Gods can just banish him to The Netherrealm just like they did with Shinnok, and he can’t physically fight them either. The Elder Gods are supposed to be magical Dragon holograms. (2. Sonya and Johnny having Cassie after MK4. Johnny having a child right after being resurrected doesn’t seem like a good choice to me and Sonya has bigger things to worry about. Such as founding the OIA with Jax, recruiting new members, and closing up portals left by Kahn’s invasion as stated in her Deadly Alliance biography. (3. Too many of these characters are STILL alive after Armageddon and should just die after that big event. Kano is a great example. Tobias wanted to kill off the Black Dragon for so long and only came back for DA because there was a new writing team, and having them be relevant after Armageddon isn’t a good idea. I think Kabal and his black dragon should be going after Havik for turning him to the bad guy side in Deception, or have Kira be the new leader after Kabal dies in Armageddon. Kabal becoming a bad guy all of a sudden was just bad writing, and keeping that isn’t good either. (4. Liu Kang going through his revenant plot line would just be retelling what came before. Yes, Liu Kang becoming a villain is an interesting concept..but not if you’re keeping that in the OG timeline. I think his soul should just be freed after the heroes are forced to take down his undead corpse and he’s allowed to rest in peace and have his final moments with Kitana. (5. Nightwolf being a revenant does not work. In the OG timeline, it was established that Nightwolf’s soul is so pure and filled with good that he *cannot* go to the Netherrealm, even if he wanted to. He is SO connected to the spirit world, that if he wanted to go to hell, it would just tell him no and kick him out. It’s the reason his Sin Eater plotline in Deception exists. (6. Speaking of revenants..how do they even become revenants in the first place? So if Jade or whoever died in Armageddon, they went to hell? They weren’t evil. The only way for you to go to hell is if you’re a bad person and you sinned during your time living. If these characters were to die in the battle, they would’ve went to Heaven. Noob Saibot wasn’t “created” by Quan Chi, he was such a bad person that he became Noob on his own. Scorpion also wasn’t created by Quan Chi, he was given the powers of a Spectre SPECIFICALLY for the purpose of killing Bi Han in the first tournament. Anyway, who stole Jade and Nightwolf’s soul? Quan Chi isn’t a soul stealer, that’s Shang’s thing. Shinnok can’t do that either..he resurrects dead souls ONLY native to Hell, so having him teach Quan Chi doesn’t work either. (7. Mileena having a change of heart and joining Kitana, in my opinion, is not good writing. First of all, Kitana should be smarter than that. Why would she want to reason with her “sister” and have her join her side. Mileena’s not a good person, she’s going to backstab Kitana any chance she gets. And Tanya is going to back Mileena any chance SHE gets. Neither of them can be trusted. Look, I understand where you’re coming from. Mileena in the OG timeline was a tragic character who just wanted approval from both Kitana and Shao Kahn, but she also wanted Kitana’s life. They’ve had that dance for too long now. I know this isn’t apart of the video but if I were to kill off characters after the battle, off the top of my head it’d be the entire Red and Black Dragon (minus Daegon and Kabal’s new black dragon, minus Kabal), Shang Tsung, Shao Kahn, Liu Kang, and maybe Quan Chi. I’d keep Shinnok around to be a major player in the Dark Raiden storyline because by that point Shinnok only had 1 major game and came back for Armageddon because everyone had to. He deserved a second chance. And as a for other side characters: Dairou, Darrius, Nightwolf, Shujinko, Bo Rai Cho, Kung Lao (I know Kung Jin has something to do in your stuff, but Jin shouldn’t even exist because Lao is the only “Kung” left, also Lao’s story is pretty much done after MK4), Reptile, Baraka, Kobra, Kano, Jarek, Mavado, Hsu Hao, Sheeva, Goro, Tanya, Motaro, Onaga, and Sindel.

1. Uh, no. It was never established that all gods need to be elementals. Even if it was, the concept of this specific rewrite requires some things to be altered or remain unaltered for it to happen. 2. Kinda fair point, but there was at least 8 years from MK4 to Deadly Alliance, so there is time for Cassie to come to the world. Plus, Sonya's arc is about accepting that there is more to her life than just her work. 3. Good point in isolation, but again, this rewrite requires characters relevant in MKX to survive, so not sacrifising too many characters is a sacrifise that must be made. Tobias wanted to get rid of the Black Dragon, but that doesn't automatically mean that we should get rid of the Black Dragon too. Also, don't worry about Kabal, his story in MKK revolves around him becoming a vigilante and trying to reform the Black Dragon, in fact, that's the plot of the latest 2 MKK chapters. I don't think we have to worry about Kabal having sudden temptations to the Dark Side any time soon. 4. Liu Kang becoming an undead antagonist is a little too major of a plot point in the second timeline to not do at all in this merging of the stories of the 2 timelines. Other characters get the excuse of not being as major players, thus allowing them to avoid being turned to Revenants. 5. Fair point. 6. Also fair point in isolation, but again, the idea is of a merging between the 2 timelines, so some characters will have to be turned to Revenants. A writing sacrifise. 7. Considering that this is one of the more original plot points in this rewrite, I guess it just comes down to personal preference and acceptance to it. I like it and want to see where it goes, you don't like it and would prefer something else, the idea behind that plot point hasn't been set in stone so we'll just see what happens. As for the characters to die in Armageddon, I'd also add Shao Kahn, so that Sindel won't just die in vain and because I believe that this is a pretty fitting point for his story to end. Also, I'd argue for Reptile to live. His story has lots of potential and his friendship with Kotal is the most characterization he has received outside of his main motivation. As for whether or not Kung Jin should exist, the idea of Kung Lao being the latest descendant of the great Kung Lao hasn't really been that central to his story, plus, Liu Kang also is as of now his cousin as well, so Jin doesn't really damage that aspect of Lao that much, plus, he brings some additional potential to Lao's story too.

@@vaggos2003 Read the Mythologies text booklet. Earthrealm’s Gods are strictly made out of Earths elements. (Raiden)Lightning, (Fujin) Wind, Fire, Water, and Earth. You can’t just make a new god out of Wisdom, Light, or whatever. It just doesn’t work. And saying the rewrite requires the story to break the continuity, isn’t good writing. Why “merge” timelines and “fix” the issue, if you’re just going to keep the exact same issue as the original story. Revenants being good people just does not work. And as for Reptile living, I just don’t think that’s the case. The guy isn’t intelligent enough to want to know where to start reviving his race. I understand where you and snake are coming from. A character trying so desperately to make his race reappear and finally not be the ones working for the bad guy, just to fail in the end. It isn’t a bad idea, but why is it a Reptile thing? That’s something you do for Nitara. She was the one who freed her realm from Outworlds tyranny and there’s potential to build off of that. Not every character is like that, Reptile included. You have to know the characters you’re writing. And yes I do agree with Shao Kahn dying during Armageddon.

​@@mystictj9626Hm, after a second thought, I did not word some of my points well. What I meant when I said that not all gods are elenentals is that a god being linked to an element applies only to the protector gods of an individual realm. Elder Gods are a whole other deal. If tbey represent something, they represent elements that are higher in a hierarchy than the ones the elementals represent (Light, Darkness, Time). Elder Gods in this rewrite could also represent abstract concepts and ideas, such as vengeance. Scorpion in this rewrite is meant to try and become an Elder-God-level deity. Now, as to why don't the Elder Gods just banish him to the Netherrealm, well, that'sxa good question. The closest to an amswer I can get is that the Elder Gods at least in this rewrite do not intervene unless all other options are exhausted and considering the amount of warriors in the battle of Armageddon, there were enough people to slap Scorpion silly before he'd get to Blaze. Yeah, saying that some things being altered or left unchanged was "something that we should accept" was not a very smart writing advice on my behalf. What I believe I should have said was that the main point of the video was to explain the major ways with which the two timelines will be merged, whereas stuff like the mechanics of how Revenants are created aren't necessary for that and can be fixed during the making of the rewrite. Your critisism is a valid one, but it is a general critisism about the new timeline, not a critisism about the merging of the two timelines. I'm not sure for what you're correcting me in regards to Reptile. Kotal has multiple advisors and resources and could help Reptile after Armageddon, coupled with the fact that their friendship is genuine, so Reptile's story still has potential after Armageddon. Well, the timeskip from MK4 to Deadly Alliance could be extended so that Sonya and Johnny giving birth to Cassie will feel more natural.

I doubt it but would love if the next game had it where Fire God Liu Kang in fact reset everything into a singular timeline that was the original (MK1 to Armageddon) and go from there. Retconning the BS of timelines existing BEFORE the OG one the started with and either ignoring or properly reworking the idea of the Titans and Kronika.

Another way to merge both timelines would be by introducing Cassie, Kung Jin and the other next generation fighter during Deadly Alliance and Deception. Since both games are about the heroes like Liu Kang being defeated and killed by villains like Shang Tsung, Quan Chi and Onaga, it would perfect scenario or the Cassie and the others (which could also include Kai and Frost) to step up and take the place of their fallen mentors, becoming the new defenders of the realms.

Maybe have two Liu Kangs and two Kung Laos and one Kung Lao is neck snapped by Shao Kahn and one Liu Kang is accidentally killed by Raiden. Then the other Liu Kang and Kung Lao would honor those fallen heroes and distance themselves from Raiden in spite of the desperate measures in saving earth realm. Maybe have this bland character Cole Young become a developing character. Maybe he’s the grandson of the legendary Shujinko. It could’ve more interesting than just use Scorpion as his ancestor. Plus he would have that copy powers ability to learn from other fighters and become a worthy fighter for earth realm. Maybe realize that the war of the realms isn’t just black and white. Just shades of grey.

Keeping Kronika over D'Vorah and some other newer characters is funny even if I more or less agree with everything you said. You could even potentially make Geras an unrelated Elder God too despite how boring he was. Besides that, I think the "Kitana sympathizes with Mileena or at least tries to do so while opposing Kotal's dumb ass (while Tanya probably schemes beyond everyone's backs)" is the most interesting of the Outworld group's potential directions. This especially since it sets up potential dramatic irony with Ermac joining Kotal due to looking for a purpose given he probably houses her dead father's soul. I could see Kitana and Sindel only finding that out *after* one of them is forced to destroy Ermac. All I know is that for poor Jade, only ever being a revenant is still somehow a better fate than being shipped with Kotal Khan.

Too bad for NRS that he's written *so* ineptly that Kotal legitimately comes as scummier than like half of the (other) villains, with the additional problem that most of genuinely scummier characters like Quan Chi, Kano, and especially Shang Tsung come off as both more competent *and* far more entertaining.

Also, I'm writing a rewrite of "MK 11" before fully rebooting the entire saga, and I need advice on Hotaru and Reptile: -I have Hotaru weasel his way into allying with Earthrealm and plot to have Reptile (now rejoined with his race as in his "MK X" ending, and enhanced with fighting habilities passed down to him by Bo Rai Cho, the Shi Rai Ryu and potentially enhanced by the Jinsei) to take over Outworld and later use the Saureans to take over Earthrealm without the need of "Mortal Kombat" (since he doesn't plan to merge the Realms), since the Saurean society agrees with many of the Order Realm's beliefs, building a genuine alliance with them. However, I heard this kind of manipulation might be more in lign with chaos. Do you agree ? I mean, doesn't an orderly dictadorship also require some form of deception and manipulation ? It's not like Hotaru is lying when he says he wants to restablish order to both realms (Hotaru didn't like that Kotal allowed Shinnok to run free and he believes Raiden will not arm the Saureans during an invasion since they're still Earthrealmers, and might even accept them as the dominant species once more as an attempt of crushing opposing factions). What do you think ?

I honestly like this idea, but wouldn't it mean that most characters would survive Armageddon battle? If it does, it kinda diminishes the whole thing about world ending. In my opinion, characters such as Kano, Sindel and Smoke should not survive the battle (nor be turned into revenants), as well as few others that have pretty much fulfilled their roles (fe Baraka, Goro, Cyrax etc).

i would also have more heroes and a few more villains alongside the ones you mentioned also be written off bc of armageddon but only if they’re character arc is over with respectfully. like sindel’s arc has to finish amazingly so she can die in armageddon, passing the throne over to kitana, rain, jade, etc… some don’t need this and can just die, especially dvorah

Never though about possibility that MKX could have been frankensteined from pieces of MKA follow up. Interesting theory. We have seen that MK-Team is not against recycling stuff, if they see fit, like a lot of story stuff in MK9 was recycled from MKvsDC (minus crossover stuff), so maybe it is a possibility. Naturally I'd prefer this version of events, even though I enjoyed MK9.

Huh, I noticed lots of influence MK vs DCU had on MK9's and in general NRS's writing. Here is all I noticed MK9 copied from MK vs DCU: -Quan Chi is the ultimate mastermind who has plans for everything, takes a lot of the decisions the bad guys make and is multiple steps ahead of everyone. He even ends up creating a team of good guys and/or bad guys. Also he sports his Deadly Alliance because iconicness I guess. He is also the one who ressurected Scorpion. -Scorpion and Sub-Zero are treated as eternal enemies who hate each other because marketability. -Raiden and Liu Kang fight because marketability. Raiden also makes some some not very bright decisions and some bad usage of his powers in the story. -Shang Tsung, the reason for Raiden and Liu Kang fighting, is kind of an idiot. -Shao Kahn is kind of a brutish idiot. -Kitana, Shao Kahn's former adoptive daughter, is a damsel in distress who gets thrown from plot point to plot point with little or no agency of her own and has a super skimpy design. -Pretty much all MK characters start fights over little reasons. It gets partially excused in MK vs DCU because of the plot convinience of the Kombat Rage, but that is not the case for every fight the MK characters start. Also, there are lots of references to the game titles and gameplay lines during dialog sequences. -All the MK characters in thr story are original trilogy chatactets, Quan Chi and a new character who's based on a pre-existing and who's barely in the story. Kenshi and Reiko do get a namedrop in MK9 and there are images of 3D characters in Raiden's visions, but that's it. -The concept of MK and DC sharing a multiverse might have played a part in the conception of the inclusion of time-travel and alternate timelines in MK. Also, a reality-altering mcguffin and a major shake-up to the current status involving Shao Kahn move the plot. Also, both plots revolve around a mostly similar idea of the original timeline (because changing stuff about the original trilogy is illegal and a crime unless we do it with retcons) with an altered ending to MK3. -The story ends with (the majority of) the "survivors" being on the same side with one or more major bad guys. -Most characters are very clearly just "good guys" or "bad guys" and there is also Sub-Zero doing his own thing and being written as a more generic character. Also, Sub-Zero now has an awesome new aesthetic. -There is a grand final battle where most charactets end up flat on their face in a very quick and anti-climactoc scene that happened because of bullshit contrivances that resulted in the fighters getting up, fighting each other a bit and then Raiden with help defeated the final Kahn boss that wanted to merge the realms. -Also, Raiden plays the protagonist role in the story and his actions are the catalyst of the entire plot. -Character chapter system. Some of the baddies don't get chapters.

@@vaggos2003 You've nailed it - it seems a lot of ideas in MK9 were created in MKvsDC. Now I wonder, whether it was a byproduct of turning MK8 into a crossover or it was was supposed to be a reboot originally. Guess, we won't know it for now. Also, yes, MKvsDC is the place which originated some of the worst story telling traits of modern NRS games - chapters, which require certain amount of fights forcing people into fights for dumb reasons, SHOCKING TWISTS, some of the villains being total jobbers and generally lack of screen time for bad guys, not to mention not having chapters of their own. There could be many reasons for Quan Chi looking in MKvsDC like in MKDA, even before its events had happened, but most likely Midway really LOVED his MKDA design. Also, the reason why Quan looks identical between MKvsDC and MK9 is that he uses the same model in both games. Quan was supposed to be DLC character for MKvsDC, but Midway bankruptcy put a kibosh to those plans, so NRS just reused his model for the new game. Quan's being "a man behind everything" has started in MKA, however. This is the game, where basically every character had some interaction with him (at least characters that had received bios) and, where, the main plot is basically driven by Shinnok and Quan. MK9 just amped the ante to the ridicoloys degree, where it had stopped being interesting and has become smelling of Marty "Developer" Stu. I have forgotten about Raiden vs Liu Kang in MKvsDC, though. A lot of bad ideas of modern MK games came from Shaolin Monks - the first game, which came up with such "brilliant" ideas as: Kitana being branwashed and damsel-in-distress, Kung Lao being a glory-hungry jerk as opposed to solemn monk, Shao being a brutish dictator (even though game attempts to present everything as "part of Shao's plan" whatever it is) and few others, like Quan being around events of MK2 (even though it was just a cameo). Kitana being helpless damsel is more legacy of MKSM. For some reason Midway took liking to that game (outside of gameplay) and adopted some ideas from its mess of a story. MKvsDC roster is very small, because, game was developed on a small budget and with very little time. I bet initial roster was supposed to be bigger, but due to Midway tanking, it was cut short. But, if we assume MK8 was supposed to be a reboot, then, yeah, similarity between MKvsDC and MK9 rosters make even more sense. I think McGuffin came from Deception and Kamidogus, though it was not a linchpin of the story, outside of Konquest. Like ther characters just did their things as always. Yeah, MK always had good guys and bad guys and some characters of their, nowadays, for the convinience of the story mode, they are usually divided into strictly two camps, even when it doesn't make any lick of sense. Yeah, Raiden being protagonist is certainly a legacy of MKvsDC. Probably one of the the most harmless things which come from this game.

idk, the first timeline was pretty disappointing as well. For example, Reptile having a lack luster background and never being in human form again. Liu kang dying, kai being wasted, scorpion dying, smoke and noob being pointless and wasted potential, most of the ninjas turning into cyber ninjas, cyber ninjas all basically being wasted and missing their potential, old man sub zero, zombie liu kang, shujinko and taven being random additions and creating new story and antogonists even tho we didnt finish the stories before their addition. Etc, the list goes on. Idk, the netherrealm timeline isnt perfect. But it feels far less disappointing than the original timeline

​@@insanemakaioshinUh, people never hit each other with their knees and elbows before those martial arts? What? They were hitting each other with those body parts in fights if they got the chance, it's just that there wasn't some sort of coordinated martial arts moveset with those body parts up until that point. In fact, these martial arts came to be because people realised that using elbows and knees was very effective in combat. What you said was as if people never got the idea to grab and throw each before the creation of judo.
