Yeah. Johnny died enough in the original timeline, so it was good enough for me to see him still live, even if most of the other earthrealmers died in the process. Besides, they can always think of plot reasons to bring them back in the next game (and by that I don't mean still being zombies under Quan Chi's clutches).
