I mean, ultimately it's fine because if they merge all the realms and inadvertently bring about the return of the one true being supergod, Johnny Cage will just punch him in the dick and he'll die

General Shao's bio is amazing and hilarious because Liu Kang's strategy to add nobility to Shao Kahn is to give him Steve Rogers' origin and turn him into Captain Outworld.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
At this point, with this insane (in a good way!) roster, it is so goddamn weird that we're getting playable Johnny Cage but not the Sonya/Jax/Kano troika. They're supposed to be at the tournament too!

Did Cassie just really piss off Liu Kang and he's trying to prevent her birth?

Keep in mind that part of Sonya and Kano's background is that they basically ended up in Shang Tsung's tournament by mistake (Sonya chased Kano onto the island in the original timeline, IIRC), and Jax was there to save Sonya. Johnny, on the other hand, got an invite on his own merits.

If Liu Kang's just gathering a bunch of killer martial artists as participants in an inter-realm tournament, then everyone he's grabbed makes at least some sense.

This is kind of the fundamental problem with how Aftermath ended. With a mighty god capable of rewriting time on the side of good, it's impossible for evil to be much of a threat unless said god is a colossally stupid fuckup.

The implication so far is that Liu Kang used the Hourglass to bring back the realms in his New Era, then rebuilt Geras as the Hourglass's defender. Liu Kang can't simply run back to it every time he forgets to turn the oven off; he removed the temptation by making it the responsibility of someone other than himself.

Which, I suppose, does raise the possibility of Liu Kang vs. Geras, if poo poo gets bad enough in the New Era.

The match intro dialogue between him and Kitana is pretty flirty. He also asks Liu Kang if he "hooked up with someone else last time around".

Johnny is going to end up with someone else, but then at the end of the game a 5 year old Cassie will show up on his door step, revealing that he had a one night stand with a woman named Sonya years ago.

It makes me wonder if Liu Kang simply shipped them because he wants Kitana to be happy, but knows he can't be there for her. That's what his MK11 ending boiled down to. So he sets her up with a guy he trusts and puts Johnny in a relationship that's a lot less dysfunctional.

Voted 5 on the thread purely for this.

While I do kind of wish we have seen an actual new kharacter by this point, the literal role reversal between Liu Kang and Raiden is still kind of brilliant. That said, it still will gently caress with me that Raiden is pronounced Ray-den in MK.
