People are talking about Hsu Hao, who was last seen in MKA, be killed off because Boon hates him. Fujin could just be a character that Boon sacrifices for the sake of the changes he wants to make in the story. I'm not saying I want that but if you look at Raiden's involvement of Sub-Zero and Smoke you would see that he saved Smoke's life in exchange for Sub-Zero becoming a cyborg. That's not what he wanted but that's what happened. He could do the same thing with Fujin and the other Earthrealm Gods. I'm just saying. Well, regarding Hsu Hao, aside from the fact that the creators hate him, he was completely irrelevent to the story. He was nothing more than Mavado's lapdog. He was killed off for good reason in Jax's MKDA ending. But in Armageddon, he returns as if nothing ever happened. I assume he was revived by Shinnok due to his association with Daegon.

Considering that there'll be cameos from lots of characters from past games, something tells me that Hsu Hao will get a cameo somewhere, only to get his ass killed by a random character. I guess that would be a good way to write him out of the series for good.

Back on the Fujin subject, he did have a cameo in Kratos' ending in MK9 (though it was only in the PS3 version). He was also originally intended to be DLC. I think it's a good thing he wasn't because the DLC characters from MK9 may not make it this time around according to Ed Boon.
