Talk:Shang Tsung/Current Timeline

Is there no possible return for him this time? I've been thinking every now and then on how they'll come up with some plot reason to bring back most of those who were killed in MK9 (namely those who fell against Sindel), but can't think of a way for Tsung to come back at the moment. Not gonna lie though, but with him being one of my top favorites as a character in the series and as one to use in gameplay, I was more displeased with him being "sacrificed" to power up Sindel than I was with most of the victims of Sindel themselves. Though he did have a new body created for him after being killed by Raiden's attempt to destroy Onaga in the original timeline, that was by Shao Kahn, and with Kahn being supposedly imprisoned now by the Elder Gods upon MK9's story ending, that makes any possible return for Shang seem even slimmer, unless... Unless some part of his MK (2011) arcade ending proves to be canon in the future. I obviously doubt the part with him "voraciously cosuming Shao Kahn's soul" will be canon, but maybe the part with him learning that new technique by master Bo' Rai Cho to stop Liu Kang might...

I hate having to grasp at straws like this, but I'm just wondering on whether or not it's possible or not for him to still ever come back. If the next game ends up being based on a rebooted story of MK4, which Shang Tsung was not in, then I can see him not being in that game sadly unless they also base another story around the Deadly Alliance...
