there is not one original or interesting thing you can do with that copout plot device, let alone something that isn't filled with plot holes I don't disagree with you about the originality but how is it filled with plot holes? We don't even know what the plot is yet. Besides, MKX has enough plot holes yet there have been many arguments against just that. literally every time travel plot you'll ever see has plot holes, and they're almost always big ones

that's just an inevitability, because time travel stories are always uninspired and unoriginal Again, I don't disagree with the unoriginality but time travel has become a huge favorite plot amongst the masses. And yes, you're right about the plot holes of several time travel movies but there are some that succeed with their plots and I don't think it's fair for someone to take the idea of time travel (which hasn't really been explored with Mortal Kombat yet with the acception of Raiden's message to himself in the past) and just assume that Boon is going to ruin it.

no, you don't understand

you literally cannot make a time travel story, at all, without plot holes. and knowing how fucking bad the writers at NRS currently are, it would be even worse.

so let's not even go into all this boring time travel talk, as I doubt it's a direction that the series would even go in, especially at this point. I'll agree with the direction. I'm not going to rule it out being that we already had Raiden send himself a message from the future. But ultimately, we can move on.
