To tell you the truth, the relations between the One Being and the Elder Gods, these deities themselves and the creation of everything is a big mystery.I just don't understand why they don't explore this kind of things that would improve the lore.

Besides that, hey Dragonspyne, it's been a while :) This. I have yet to know why they would connect the Red Dragon to Onaga. It is from knowledge of everyone the name comes from Daegon's dragon, Caro, and it wouldn't work in the context of Onaga (IMO it would completely ruin the story of the organization that already is lesser known as always overshadowed by the Black Dragon).

Again, they are going to take the liberties they want and connect them while reducing Taven, Blaze and Armageddon's mythos to absolutely nothing.

Because they don't care for the lore, my friend.

The comic had the chance to fill some holes in the story, or, at the least, find a context to the main plot.

But, two problems.

The first, NRS gave them no assistance. There are MANY annoying inconsistencies, from smaller ones (yet significant things), like Erron Black never knowing any of the heroes (he even flirts with Sonya and Jacqui on intros), passing through idiotic middle plots, and major absurds, like Ermac's departure from Mileena, from an obvious old or incomplete script.

The second, they had too much freedom. I don't wanna offend anyone, but these guys have little knowledge of the lore. They are writing in the dark and inventing stories connecting the characters forgetting that Raiden changes were not that wide.

Now, they come with this Onaga and Red Dragon. This is total BS.

I asked Kittelsen about that, asked if it wasn't risky to change Onaga's origins.

You know what he responded?

"Isn't anything worthwhile?"

I would to a post for that, but couldn't find the proper thread.

Seriously, what are we for them? Desperate fans that wanna see our favorite characters at any cost?

"Hey! I love Scorpion! So I don't care he is hundreds of years old from Feudal Japan and a snake comes from his hand!"

"Hey! I love Kenshi. I don't mind his nemesis is Ermac and Sento is created by Shao Kah. Also, I don't care that he is hundreds of years old!"

"Hey! I love Sub-Zero. I don't care if he is japonese for this show, killed by Liu Kang or even if Kuai Liang is the jerk of the family!"

I really don't even wanna see what he's going to write about Onaga. A character with a good plot to be done, being older than Shinnok's fall, we could see a retroactive story and all...and he puts him related to RED DRAGON LORE?

I really wanna understand what passes through the mind of someone that has this idea, and from others, like NRS themselves, that allow this. I already it's something so absurd that it will be patantly canon offender.

These comics are FORMALLY canon, but materially non-canon. I mean, they are part of the storyline by mere fiction, not by logic.
