Ridley Prime wrote: I mean it's no different from the usual make things up as they go along ploy, but rushing it as far as the original timeline not getting an elaborate enough ending it could've gotten, that fans could've made more sense of, really left people tilted and confused for awhile; so many things that didn't add up and just having to accept that Shao Kahn won because reasons.

Shang Tsung actually got some of the most love in the Armageddon intro, with how many he killed or knocked off the pyramid; even defending himself from Shao Kahn for some moments, and appeared to hold his own against zombie Liu Kang as well. Only when he got caught/ensnared by the zombie chains as he was trying to reach Blaze did he really lose.

Fast forward to MK9 where Shang was a top jobber followed by becoming a "power up" for Sindel, I was disappointed with his treatment in comparison, despite being my main as far as gameplay/zoner playstyle back then... And then with him back in MK11, they couldn't even be assed to put him in the story, despite the hype of it being the movie/Tagawa version. Well again they wanted to focus on a new cast and have them replace the old ones from previous games but that failed so they had to reboot and Shang Tsung was sealed away by Kronika to explain why he wasn’t in story mode.
