I’m entirely sure why I said Jarek when I explicitly checked to see if he had died lol. I was thinking of Goro.

In terms of the story not being a rehash, I think there is a level is miscommunication. As no, none of the games going forward be the exact retelling of the old games, just as MK9 was not an exact retelling of MK1-3 and MKX is not MK4. Like I said, MKX and its comic covers MK4 before it takes it own spin the same way MK9 did. BUT. I think since we skipped Deadly Alliance (even though honestly in this series bringing back Quan Chi and Shang Tsung would literally take a snap), a Deception retelling would have been cool.

In fact, MERGE the two. Have Onaga have Shujinko or Kai revived Quan Chi and Shang Tsung by manipulation, have them revived Onaga, and have that be the story. You put a new spin on an old thing.

I think the thing people missed the most and were hoping for were the characters and the moments in the story they liked being just wiped out.

I don’t put the original story on a pedestal simply because I don’t think I got reacquainted with MK until 9 from the SNES and arcade days lol.
