When did they say, "This is alive Liu Kang from the story mode where Liu Kang is resurrected."? You can play as living Liu Kang, the revenants have a "What if they were alive skin." They didn't show you that in commercials and then not have it in the game. It's a twist because people incorrectly assumed that those skins meant all the revenants were going to be freed when that was not the case. The promised content is there and the fact that you don't like the story they made behind that content doesn't make it false advertising.

I didn't say Liu Kang was a masterfully written character, I said it was interesting. He isn't Zombie Liu Kang which was dumb, because he was literally just a shambling Romero zombie. The fact that he still died in the new timeline is an interesting paralell though. I like the idea of him and Kitana being rules of the Netherrealm because I don't want the next game to be Deadly Alliance and Deception 2.0 and from Shunjinko dying in an arcade ending and you breaking the Kamidogu in test your might games I think that they are in fact not going in that direction, which makes me happy.

If you don't like the story that's fine, I don't think it was amazingly good either but I enjoyed it. Just because you're salty about not getting the story you assumed you were doesn't mean NR was lying to people.
