No, they reduced Shinnok to a saturday morning cartoon villain who stops to teabag the heroes instead of outright killing them. "There will be no surprises from you, Mr. Cage!" Then why not just amulet blast a freaking hole through him already? Why risk getting beaten by Johnny again by just taking him prisoner? The narrative needs to justify this sort of thing but of course it doesn't. Its just the typical "bad guy gloating over the victory he has yet to solidify, thus giving the heroes a chance to beat him" trope.
