Good. And talking about being rude (but completely changing the issue) what's wrong about that Riley something in the Goro thread? "Stop talking about D'Vorah or I'll close the thread"; "I'd appreciate if you didn't tell me how to do my job". I recognize that having to take care of a wiki that is so "active" at the moment should be really exhaustive and annoying, and that we actually should be talking about D'Vorah elsewhere, but did he really have to talk to us like that? He sounded like a sinister security officer or something. It almost scared me; I apologized and created that new thread instantly, despite being really late for school.

Liu Kang aligning with Quan Chi is one of the last things I'd expect to see in this world, althought he would actually do almost anything to have almost everyone who died in MK 9 back. I guess Quan Chi would try to do what he does to almost everyone: manipulate people's minds, offering them exactly what they want the most to make them slowly become his inferior servants.

In a way of thinking, that's what he's done to Scorpion, and that's exactly what Raiden said when he went to the Netherrealm: "Is this what you chose to abandon your family and clan for, Scorpion? To serve at the feet of Quan Chi?" (I won't remember the exact quote, but you know what I'm talking about). Quan Chi first offered Scorpion revenge and molded his mind to make him think that it was all that mattered, in exchange for having his soul and servitude, of course. And then, when Scorpion notices he has a chance to have everyone he lost back - which was the only thing he really wanted all this time - he is manipulated again to forsake them once and for all just for his revenge and to spend the rest of eternity kissing Quan Chi's ass in hell. And the worst part is that Quan Chi is so good at it that Hanzo actually thinks he did the right thing and even seems satisfied with his choice.

I guess that what could happen is Quan Chi offering Liu Kang a similar deal - revenge for servitude or anything as bad as that - but then, at a point of the game, Liu Kang somehow gets the opportunity to choose between having all of his friends who died in MK 9 back or listening to Quan Chi and having his revenge, exactly like Scorpion in MK 9. And only then Liu Kang would understand what really matters to him and, unlike Scorpion, would make the right decision, proving himself as a true hero. I even guess we'll be seeing Scorpion turning up on Quan Chi at some point of the game after noticing how his rage - and a certain bald asshole - really blinded him all those years.

Despite all of this being invented, it all seems so similar: both Scorpion and Liu Kang had almost everyone they cared about in their lives killed; both of them were either killed or gravely injured soon after; both seem to be seeking revenge. Just add Quan Chi to Liu Kang's drama and the puzzle seems to be solved. Not wanting to kiss your ass, but that seemed to fit perfectly. At least, if this happened it the campaign, it would be very cool.
