Despite the fact that barely of the heroes got any peace before MK11’s little fun time with the story, I LIKED Sindel’s massacre. It is so unexpected and it really brings the story to a gripping climax. You think, “wow, we have all these strong characters in one place, they just beat the Cyber Lin Kuei, they’re going to win!”, and BOOM. One character comes and just slaughters them, leaving you wondering how this will end. It was what they did with these characters AFTER that was the let down.

That’s my main problem with them killing Hanzo. Three full games and a comic bringing him to redemption and heroism, his attitude from 9 to X, to the comic, and then in 11 showed how much he grew as a character. And then he just get killed. All that progression that we’ve been waiting for for 11 games, gone. So will how will this be in the next game? Will the redeemed Wraith Scorpion fall back into his old ways, just like he did before Armageddon? I hope not.

Why would they fight on the pyramid though? As far as I know Liu and Raiden had no qualms with each other in the original timeline, it was Shang Tsung that killed him, and he got his revenge.

And yes, no more new characters please. They have so many originals to choose from. I let Skarlet pass because I love them bringing old rumor characters to life, and Erron Black because he’s cool, but the rest for the most part can go. Maybe keep Cassie and Takeda.
