I honestly thought it was going to be the Kung Lao we know, the arrogant one. We all know now, this was the Great Kung Lao. The story telling of Mortal Kombat has truly peaked.
Honestly, Dark Raiden wasn’t even really a villain. If anything, he was a more effective and powerful version of himself, and he still worked directly with the forces of Earthrealm.
I used to play in very old mk games as a child and Liu Kang was one of my less favorite characters I played only for his funny high pitched shouts, but MK has improved over time and became much better and now I can't help but being captivated by Liu Kang and how badass he is now Even though some of his godly choices and ideas are kinda controversial
Seriously? You put up with listening to these bitches whine and moan and act like you're the bad guy for that fucking long and you get your superpowers and pop off... and you push them both around a bit and then fall out of a window and they fucking escape? AGAIN? Did Ubisoft learn nothing from FC5? If you're going to make a villain this fucking annoying, you have to let the protagonist actually fucking shoot them.
When I saw Shang Tsung's Aftermath ending (as well as Liu Kang's), I knew Liu Kang was going to be the canonical ending that would lead to MK1. But I also wanted to see a "What if Shang Tsung won?" kind of game. And with Raiden and Fujin not only announcing to Shang that Earth, Outworld, and the Netherrealm have been conquered...but also announcing that Chaosrealm and Orderrealm (that have hardly been explored since Deception), I thought the perfect idea: a Mortal Kombat-themed Dynasty Warriors game! The game would feature Tecmo Koei/Omega Force-developed characters (similiar to the OG Hyrule Warriors and OG Fire Emblem Warriors) that originated from Chaosrealm and Orderrealm (plus a couple klassics like Dairou, Darrius, Havik, and Hotaru). The story would begin with a war between Chaosrealm (the protagonists)and Orderrealm being in kombat with each other, when suddenly...Shang Tsung and the Elder Gods launching their invasion, so the Chaosrealmers would have to travel through Earth, Netherrealm, Outworld, and (the unmentioned) Edenia to team up with and/or fight against the klassic Kombatants we know and love/hate. Unfortunately, with MK1 revealing that BOTH Aftermath endings are canon to MK1, this can no longer apply. And I felt like this was the biggest wasted opportunity in Mortal Kombat history. (And before you say that Mortal Kombat is too gory for Japan...so is Berserk and Chainsaw Man!)
