Every little plan she had fails and despite her alleged power over time and fate, she could not foresee Raiden fusing with Liu Kang to stop her. I thought you'd just be happy that Liu in part had the finale spotlight again. I did like how Kronika ironically brought him and Raiden together (in more ways than one) after previously having them at odds with one another in every timeline.

That said though, Kronika herself wasn't really compelling as a villain in how they executed her, even if she had an interesting premise. My opinion on her didn't change much before and after playing the story. I don't have strong feelings for her one way or the other... She was just kinda there.

Only makes me more thankful for Onaga I guess, even if they don't really explore him again beyond cameos (he had some interesting ones this game). Unlike Kronika, the dragon king had real buildup with his debut, and actually got shit done in the case of like the kamidogu. Even Shinnok had more buildup than her, and that's part of what makes her one of the weaker villains to me. She didn't really accomplish anything before they did her in, powerful as she was.

Usually the villain's one of the better parts of the MK story, but it was the other way around here I felt.
