There is a difference between telling someone that they should be more like me, and understanding what does and doesn't sell in a popular media franchise. I'm gonna say this again: Mortal Kombat is at it's core a 2D fighter. Ed Boon tried to reinvent it with by taking the combat to 3D and it didn't work. It doesn't fucking work! As someone who has been a fan of Mortal Kombat before it went 3D I understand this. You might as well reinvent Street Fighter, a rival 2D fighter, with the same mechanics and see how that pans out.

And I'm tired of retcon stories, which is why I am making the argument that Mortal Kombat in it's present continuity should continue going in it's direction of delivering an original story where a specific conflict isn't going to parallel the original timeline or call back to past events and characters of previous games. All YOU'RE doing is pining for the shit that doesn't and has never worked.
