Many of speculated whether or not if Shinnok died during the events of armageddon. Both sides have fair arguments. If Shinnok faces himself in a mirror match, in MKX, its revealed that Shinnok may have sent a clone to fight in his place. Shinnoks Armageddon ending also furthers the idea that he sent a clone in his place, the ending consists of the clone being empowered with Blazes power. During the armageddon Konquest mode, a scene in which Daegon is talking to Shinnok, in the Netherrealm, takes place, Shinnok tells Daegon that the Kombatabts are "marching to their doom". If shinnok feals that the kombatants are marching to their doom, why would he take place in the fight, he also tells Daegon "you shall be the victor" meaning he doesnt even want to be the one to defeat Blaze he wants Daegon to be the one, so why would he take part in the battle.

Despite all of this evidence people still support that he died. People raise the point that hes confident of his abilities and is arrogant enough to think he will survive, but this completely contradicts what he said to Daegon. I believe that Shinnok sent the Doppelganger in his place as a backup plan or a plan b for if Daegon doesn't defeat Blaze. People also say that the Ending of Armageddon and his dialouge in the mirror match cant be considered Canon, but what proof is there to say the the stuff they say isnt canon, for example one of Quan Chi's opening dialouges hes holding the head of Moloch, implying he killed him, which we know he did because he died in the MK comics, so this confirms that the opening dialouges are accurate.

I hope this sheads of some light on why i think Shinnok survived armageddon, and why hes wiki should be changed
