Yeah. As nice as it would be to see the classic villains eventually return, I feel like MK9, in more ways than one, was supposed to be a rejection/moving on point from the classic MK plot formula in favor of trying new things like they did with MKX, though ironically they brought back Shinnok of all villains, whose updated portrayal I was pleasantly surprised with. Is it just me, or does he sometimes sound like Willem Dafoe?

There's no saying for sure if the timeline crossover concept would ever be done, but if it was, what other things would you like to see in there? And/or for MK11?

If such a game/story were done, I think it would be neat if some of the characters were synchronised versions of their multiple selves from both timelines. Raiden is currently just about where he was near the end of the old timeline; I imagined he could take the role of the final boss, with Noob Saibot as a sub-boss (we're still not sure what that MK9 Soulnado did to him, and he never did get redeemed/cleansed in the old timeline I think). That team could be especially ironic and interesting because they were arguably one of the first heroic duos in Mortal Kombat's history, since they worked together to stop Quan Chi and Shinnok in Mythologies: Sub-Zero, which Raiden even references in MK9 after Scorpion kills Bi-Han.
