Draft227, and I add more to that.

I will repeat something I got tired of repeating here, but I will do it again :p

Armageddon is caused by the numerous kombatants shaking the harmony between the realms. Killing Shao Kahn only avoided Raiden's death at the same way and moment he would die IF Shao Kahn was still alive. What Raiden did was to prevent his death. The illusion of Armageddon avoided is because his amulet breaks at the same moment he dies, but has nothing to do with the end itself. That only avoids SHAO KAHN from winning.

Notice that now we have more kombatants and we already got Dark Raiden + Amulet of Shinnok. What's the probability of this causing more conflict? 100% I'd say.

To Ridley, Kittelsen left implied to me he will change Onaga's origins.

Also, Goro said that he knew about Onaga on Red Dragon's lore.

Onaga has nothing to do with Red Dragon, this affirmation is stillborn as non-canon.

By taking MK:A interpretation, Onaga was already dead long before Taven and Daegon were dormant and even before Shinnok's fall from grace. Onaga is likely one the very first rulers of Outworld.

And I know it doesn't mean it wouldn't have inconsistencies, but that's wrong, I mean, who would write a story that clearly misleads the original story AND the current story? I bet that if we, common people, that possibly a very few know how to draw, or to write scripts, would do a better job than them, because we do know what we are talking about.

Well, I do have my comments about Vogel's writings. I love Deception storyline, and thanks to him. What I really dislike about his writing is that he suddenly kills parts of the story because he wants. It's like taking out Taven and putting Shao Kahn. But they do not tell you what happened to Taven, if Raiden has beaten him, if Daegon did, if Shao Kahn did, you know, he just says "we wanted X before, but not it turns out to be Y".

But these comics have started pretty good. Then I played the game, and it's very obvious that the comic is almost talking about another story, because nothing fits, by the reason of the problems I stated above. It's unfortunate, but I think they wanted to create something only the creators, "vogelling" or not, could do.

Skipping from MK9 to MKX, holding our minds only to the info given in the latest, it's enough to have a linear storyline, no need of that circus created in the comics almost for nothing (except by what Draft said above: exterminate all 3D era).

To Azuma402, I know Boon konfirmed them as canon, but what I meant to say is this is a formal canon, because materially it conflicts with everything, but it's considered because the very creators of the game says it is. If they didn't, it would be as valuable as any fan fiction that messes up everything.
