Well, not that Reptile would want Zaterra back if it had no Saurians. There wouldn't be a point in saving Zaterra if the Saurians weren't saved from extinction with it.

2) Talking about Outworld emperors, you know what? The more I get to know Kotal Kahn, the more I think Macaulyn was right about him: he doesn't look like an evil or opressive guy at all, at least until now. In the comic, he's even getting along with Sonya and Cage and helping them to find Cassie and Jacqui, so I don't see him exactly as an enemy of Earthrealm (unless he's thinking of betraying them). Except for when he threatened Sonya and Raiden for not wanting to help him.

3) Who knows he could help with the conquered realms. If all he wants is the good of his people, the Osh Tekk, then there wouldn't be a point in keeping all the realms, would it? Besides, he should know better than almost anyone how those who had there homes conquered by Shao Kahn feel about it. He and his people experienced the same thing. Hope you don't mind. I took the liberty to number your points so I may do the same with my counterpoints.

1) A full on separation from Outworld might be the one thing that would save the Saurians from total extinction. I'm sure that when Outworld took over Zaterra there was a huge amount of killings due to the violence that a merge would bring. Once when the dust settles there would be extermination squads that would kill off the survivors with the acception of Chameleon, Khameleon, and Reptile.

2) Yeah, that's the one reason why I would say that we gotta look out for Kotal Kahn. He seems a little selfish and that could make him do some really shady things. I think he's just going to cause some problems. I agree that he's not initially opressive but disagree or deny him at your own risk.

3) I can see Kotal becoming Emperor just for the fact that he wants to find the Osh Tekk orb that would release his realm if destroyed just like what happened to Vaeternus in Mortal Kombat: Deception. And I never really thought that Kotal wanted to conquer realms. I think he might look at that as petty bullshit. Especially being that his variations are in honor of gods.
