Agreed with Ridley and Ledbetter (just gonna reply to the two this way because the quote will be too big).

To Led, yup, that pretty much brings more possibilities of Armageddon. If Onaga returns, that also bring us closer to it because his return also brings us Blaze, and Blaze brings Taven. Onaga returning may very well be the doom now, and with new fighters popping up, the prophecy comes true.

Yeah, agreed. Deception had an amazing story and I suppose I was one of the few who really liked Shujinko. Yeah, he was guilty and all but that doesn't necessarely make him the guilty devil people says he is supposed to be, and he even redeemed himself in the end. As Ridley said, it may very well, unfortunately, that they will also retcon Shujinko (did you guys noticed how he seemed completely out of character being a Shaolin Master when he was still supposed to be searching for Kamidogu?) Of course, they completely made him irrelevant now by making the Kamidogu different (BS because Raiden can't change things that existed before MK1) and a pawn to Havik (they didn't even cared to explain what happened to the Shaolin Temple after Havik's death. And now there is this Blood Magik thing they said was all duo to a Blood God/Goddess and out of nowhere they connect it to Nitara.

Yes. Cyrax death felt incredible forced, and even if the Cyber Initiative had nothing to do with the story right now, characters like Erron Black, Ferra Torr, they are doing nothing but still are there, for the sake of being new, and Cyrax could still have the arc he had in the original timeline (but no, they need to make the original timeline have zero relevance now and change everything now, such as Onaga/Red Dragon).

For now, we still are sure we have Shujinko, Hotaru, Mokap, Meat, Dairou, Darrius, Nitara, Taven, Daegon, Darrius, Onaga, Frost, Kira, Ashrah, Tanya, Li-Mei and Jarek still alive from the 3D Era. What remains to see is if they will use them to develop them or kill off as they did with their fellow 3D characters. Some, like Hotaru, Ashrah, Darrius and Dairou we have no clue on status and what are they up to. Others like Mokap and Meat I think may never appear again if it depends on the development team and John Vogel. (I don't mention Blaze because he is from MK2 and Shinnok, Quan Chi, Fujin and Sareena because they are from MKM:S).

All the other deaths from the comics (aside from Forrest Fox) were incredibly forced and either done for shock value (such as Kintaro, Mavado and Reiko) to others I didn't even know they were there (Hsu Hao, Drahmin, Moloch, Havik).

Also, I am the only one feeling they are trying to force Daegon as Kenshi nemesis? I mean, it's not a terrible idea but it feels extremely forced and out of place since both of them had nothing to do with each other and Daegon killing Suchin wasn't even canon to begin with.

I think, as Ridley said, they may connect Caro and Orin with Onaga, I think that's reasonable, because I wonder why Onaga is a Dragon so different from other Dragons (he looks more like a Gargoyle).

I agree the story might become even worst than the ones we currently have if they are going to focus on more and more unlikeable characters, such as MarySue Cage, Jacqui, Kung-Jin, etc.

Oh, just give me a MK: Johnny Cage and I will be partially happy.
