Then again they already retconned a few of them. Ever notice how Shujinko's quest and Hsu Hao's infiltration of the SF just.....don't exist as plot points in the new timeline despite having nothing to do with the events altered by Raiden's visions. My only issue was just how we had no idea what all it was Shujinko did or accomplished in the NRS timeline, given how the Kamidogu were changed to daggers which he had little to do with there in comparison. The cameo in Cassie's ending, although non-canon, made things even more confusing.

Sometimes retcons can work for the betterment of some series or stories, but with Mortal Kombat it's pretty much never the case far as individual characters' plotlines are concerned. Regardless of retcons and whatnot though, would've at least liked to see some kind of closure for these characters, particularly the more obscure ones.
