Board Thread:Mortal Kombat (Alternate Timeline)/@comment-5503721-20190518202650/@comment-422853-20190610205018

The one complement I can still give the original timeline as opposed to its successor is making the likes of Shang Tsung and Quan Chi more than just jobbers. I mean sure, they cheapshotted Liu Kang with how they killed him and the Shao Khan "clone", but they still killed the remaining forces of light on their own, namely Kitana and Kung Lao, while the mummified army slayed the rest of the heroes, leaving only Raiden left as per the Deception intro.

That was ballsy, and a massacre to that level would never happen again now, but that was a different era. The Deadly Alliance I think caused more hero casualties than even MK9 Sindel, just the latter is remembered more since we saw her killings on screen.

I don't think we really need that kind of leadup to Onaga again though, because we already know who he is.
