​@@hamzaahmad1345yeah but that's fitting for a medium such as video games where its nice to have a canonical reason for A - everyone being murdered all the time, B - the multiple different endings having meaning, C - replayability and D - potential future storylines. It's lazy in super hero movies and comics and I'd argue a money grab.. but multiverse/time travel/cyclical stories are perrrfect for video games. They could continue on and kill of characters all the time and intro new ones but that's a bit annoying for people who spent a lot of time getting really good at specific characters. Scorpion handles the same as he has for the past 20 years kinda thing. They already played out the siblings taking up the mantle, they already played out descendant replacement. I think it works fine and was executed very well. I didnt expect things to go the way they went 90% of the time. Literally my only gripe with the entire story was the mime johnny cage helping you but then fighting you, that made 0 sense.

[@hamzaahmad1345]

@@BrandynQuigley imagine knowing that developers have an option of Multiverse/time travel at hand. 1. they will start killing almost every single one. 2. they will use same characters and basic plot with MINOR changes over and over again. 3. Plot twist, turn event etc. any impactful point in story and lore will mean NOTHING as we know what could happen. 4. it kills any creative thinking and it will feel like eating, barfing, adding spice, eating again , barfing and then adding spice and eating again. Remakes are one thing but this needs to stop. For example, in borderlands, jack, roland, maya, typhon etc. dying hell even gun companies leading worlds into chaos would mean NOTHING since all it takes is ONE STUPID word and boom, back to square one. (Sorry if you can not relate to BORDERLANDS franchise since it is not everyone's favourite) some people like the idea, some do not.

Might be a hot take but I actually prefer Kuai Liang as Scorpion over Hanzo Hasashi, idk there's something about it that just makes him 100 times better than Hanzo, like his rivalry with Sub Zero actually means more than just oh you killed my family I want revenge blah blah blah and it just turns into oh you are my family but you still betrayed me and father, that gives the meaning to scorpions character or rather this scorpions character more meaning

Yeah, what a story, much development with the characters. They changed and learned so much, and it brought tears to my eyes. Can we please go back to not every story being a multiverse story(that doesn't do anything interesting with the multiverse)?

The story sucked ass. It devolved into a lame multiverse storyline. Lame as hell.

Massive stories like this, wouldn’t look good as a movie. You can never adapt all of it. I would love to see the writers of this game writing the movie adaptations tho. Cause that Mortal Kombat Movie was horrible.

@@thatdude4247Maybe this could be a series instead, with each chapter being one episode.

Of the many glow ups in this game, Li Mei’s might be my favorite In the previous games, she was just kinda there. Her betrayal in Deception felt like a weak attempt to give her some character. But this version has so much personality, strong relationships, and ambitions. All of which are crystal clear through dialogue, with no text exposition to imply things that happen. She’s just so great in this
