I think it will, indeed, blur the lines between heroes and villains, perhaps some Earthrealmers might have to make an alliance with Outworld to face Raiden; Fujin could promise that he would never invade Outworld like Raiden and Raiden could make an alliance with Edenian rebels, promising tha he would grant Edenia's freedom from Kotal Kahn's hands. Kotal and Liu Kang could also make an alliance to beat Raiden, Kotal to protect Outworld or conquer Earthrrealm and Liu Kang to have his vengeance against Raiden. We also have to consider that in Tanya's ending in MKX she betrays Rain and makes a deal with Kotal, will that be canon? Will she betray Kotal too? Will Rain make a deal with somebody? What about Black Dragon and Red Dragon, will they pick up a side to asure their interests? I think that there won't be good and evil as we are used to see in MK.

Mortal Kombat has officially reached the Attitude Era (their own version of the AE, not the actual WWF Attitude Era that happened long ago) in regards to character alignment because you have Johnny, Cassie, Sonya, Jax and Scorpion as the foul mouthed most gamers value, and the blurred lines of character alignment and realm loyalty.

Now people decide who's really a hero and who's really a villain based on who they like and don't like.
