I wish the game had made that more clear, because I was actually really annoyed at Shao Kahn going down like a bitch. I mean I realize it was Kitana's chapter so they have to wank her and make everyone else look weak, but this is Shao-fucking-Kahn, the Thanos of MK. Kitana casually beating him down (the same Kitana whom Liu Kang casually made sport of in their first encounter in MK9) just didn't sit well with me. Honestly, I was glad at the initial thought of Kitana killing Shao Kahn which felt like a long time coming, exposing him for the overhyped bitch he is. Guess I'm not really a fan of Shao Kahn to the extent of others. He was mostly always just someone there they made me love to hate, which was the intention for the kind of villain he is. Also let's not pretend he wasn't ever wanked to ridiculously high levels, from winning Armageddon with no explanation on how he did it (weak retcon that was tbh), etc. I was tired of Shao Kahn after MK9 on top of that which felt like the perfect definitive sendoff for him, and when I saw he was part of MK11's story which I guess was a result of fan demand, I just kinda rolled my eyes.

I was even rooting for Kotal Kahn against him which by the way, I liked how they handled the battle of the Kahn's. Would've been nice though if Shao Kahn got to avenge Mileena by killing D'Vorah, but no, Kronika cockblocked him and said D'Vorah was under her protection. smh

Revealing that Shao Kahn was blinded instead of killed (the latter of which it looked like on screen) is pretty silly too. There's no reason Kitana would let him live. Kenshi Kahn confirmed, I guess? Shao Kahn is the original end-be-all antagonist of the series, of course he's a bit overhyped. Kitana could strike the fatal blow, but I've personally never seen her as being capable of handling Shao Kahn all on her own. They should have at least had her gang up on him with Liu, Kung and Jade first and then she could finish him off.
