I mean, yeah it's a good ending for Earthreal but it's also really chilling to think Raiden is cool with killing millions of innocent people from other realms
Realm Representatives: Raiden just destroyed our homes and you're going to let him get away with that?! Elder Gods: The destruction of your realms outside Mortal Kombat was not a violation of our covenant, but the merging of realms. Realm representatives: WTF?!
Normal Raiden: We must defend Earthrealm. I don't NEED to consult with the elder gods. Alternate Timeline Raiden: I must consult with the elder gods. Normal Dark Raiden: Aight, nuff f**kin' 'round. I'm gonna blow up ANYTHING that even LOOKS at Earthlream the wrong way! Alternate Dark Raiden: I'm in a bad mood.
Say all you want, Mortal Kombat Armageddon is the best in the series, and this is IMO Kanon ending, as today only the Earth realm remains and all others don't exist XD!
I even think the Whole Mk9 Opening is Fake now and Someone else won Mk Armageddon and not Shao Kahn. If the whole ' He must win' is False what else is false there as well. For all we know this ending could have been what actually Happened but Kronika Twisted it to make it seem like Shao Kahn won Armageddon ( which makes no sense Onaga Bit his Head off in the Opening).
So Raiden becomes genocidal maniac who nukes innocent people of Outworld and Edenia, because they were ruled by tyrant? Before taking such radical and irreversible action, he should at least consult the Elder Gods :P
Shao Khan's Ending: "I will conquer everyone! Then lose my reason to live!" Raiden's Ending: "I will kill everyone, no one messes with my property and my toys!" Seriously, thank the Elder Gods for the reboot, neither these endings would be interesting.
Shinnok - So good of you to join us, son. In under one hour, the merger of realms will be complete. Rayden - Father, you alone have the power to end this. Shinnok - Stop! I do not want to remember you this weak! Rayden - It is not weak to value life! Shinnok - I offer you one final chance to return to my side, Rayden. To rule all realms with your family. Rayden - No, I think I'll pass. Rayden gathers every ounce of lightning into a huge ball. Shinnok - Son, what are you doing?! Shao Kahn looks at Rayden destroying all the realms and became insane while Shinnok was banished once more in the Netherrealm.
So he destroyed Edenia, in turn destroyed Sindel, in turn.... The most pointless filler character it has been MK's misfortune to feature has been destroyed! Good ending.
Noah Joe I didn't call Raiden pointless. I said that he destroyed Edenia, therefore destroyed Sindel, Therefore destroyed the most pointless filler character in MK. I called Sindel pointless because that is what she is, a pointless filler. I never said that Raiden was.
