[@alsimmons4504]

But at the same time, he (Liu Kang) *did* do his own "brother" (Kung Lao) dirty by basically denying him the chance to be "The Chosen One" and Earthrealm's new Champion though like he so rightfully deserved so yeah, kinda earned the "side-eye" for that one. Plus, it's because of *Raiden* that Liu Kang possess the powers and position that he enjoys now anyways so there's *that* as well lol.

[@alsimmons4504]

@@000mjd You *clearly* don't get it at all. This new timeline/era was supposed to be a new opportunity/fresh start for Kung Lao to *finally* receive his proper due as the new "Chosen One" and thus MK Champion especially since *that* was pretty much what was promised back in MK11 anyways in Fire God Liu Kang's ending, but then in *this* game, it seems that that was nothing more than complete and utter "false advertising" as apparently *Raiden* ends up being the "Chosen One" and Earthrealm's new Champion instead of Kung Lao (as was promised/advertised in MK11) so technically speaking, *YES* Liu Kang *MOST CERTAINLY* did him dirty by not "sticking to his guns" so to speak and going along with Kung Lao being the new "Chosen One" instead of Raiden. So Kung Lao "lost" his chance due Liu Kang's "false promise", not because of "ego".

Let's be honest it's kind of dumb and unfair that Shao Kahn gets a higher advantage with his abilities and Raiden can't even use his thunder abilities with restrictions on them. All they had to do was take away his immortality and give him a limit on his abilities. Why have thunder abilities if you can't even use them?

I think the amulet has the power of the previous Raiden. In mk11 when Liu Kang became a god he became the god of fire AND thunder, but it in mk1 he's only the god of fire and he doesn't display any lightning powers. I think that he siphoned the previous Raiden's thunder into the amulet after the elder gods forged it just like how he gave up his Titan powers

[@ansonellis443]

I figured that the elder gods had no part in its creation Liu Kang just wanted to hide the power he once had.

"No tournament participant has ever been grievously injured or killed"

Remember when Liu Kang became the God of Fire AND lightning? What happened to his lightning powers? I think he poured his lightning power into the amulet because he knew he would meet mortal Raiden one day and wanted to give Raiden his powers back.

I didnt like Raiden had to use a magic artifact to control lightning. Liu Kang trained with monks and could generate fire at will
