Liu Kang hasn't had a proper victory outside of retellings of previous events since MK4, soooooooo

Yeah, I wouldn't mind him getting some spotlight again.

However, I also quite like Kai, Shujinko, Taven, and Lao. Would absolutely love for them all to get more exposure.

However, I am of the opinion that only Kai and Kung Lao are viable as continous protagonists. I think Shujinko and Taven work great as the protagonists of their individual stories, but I don't think they're as viable after those stories have wrapped up. They would however make great continuing supporting characters as members of the main cast.

Part of me also wishes the franchise had a proper female protagonist to stand alongside the likes of Liu, Shujinko, and Taven. MKX did a piss poor job of letting the player know that Cassie was even supposed to be the main character until the moment her chapter began. I suppose Cetrion might be our chance, but I don't have much faith in her as a character in general, so yeah...
