I actually liked that Cassie was the final playable fighter in the story mode since the final battle between her and Corrupted Shinnok is a near reflection of Johnny Cage's battle with Shinnok. I mean there aren't a ton of female badasses in video games (my favorite being samus aran), and not a lot are the main protagonist in games, especially in fighting games. So what is the issue with having equality in video games? However, I do find that a mere human was able to defeat a powered-up fallen elder god because of green glow to be utter bullshit. I mean it would make more sense if it said that since Shinnok is technically no longer one of the elder gods and here's outside his home realm he's significantly less powerful, then it make more sense. Or if cassie got a power boost from raiden, so that combined with her shadow power could possibly defeat a fallen elder god.

And I actually liked that Liu Kang is evil now since I always found to be lame. This hatred that he's developed towards Raiden, his own mentor, gives him much needed depth. Plus, since he's already undead and with the "deadly alliance" being deceased, there is no chance of him getting killed by them and being turned into a stupid ass zombie.

I, however, disliked that only two of the new villains got their own chapters. I mean why not have a chapter with erron black, or even ferra/torr. I also hated that they completely rushed the whole outworld civil war plotline. I liked the whole new generation plotline, but I very much disliked the whole shoehorned romance between takeda and jaqui. I also disliked how Quan Chi, one of the more powerful characters, got his ass beat so easily, but good for Hanzo on getting his vengenance at last. I also disliked that they did another cliffhanger ending like they did before, but I liked that they turned Raiden dark early with a completely different method and appears to be already cruel in his methods. I also disliked the unexplained animosity with sonya towards johnny, which could be better explained with flashbacks or Cassie saying something about it.
