Never liked Johnny and Cassie is a solid character, her achievement beating Shinnok is just out of her bracket. Would prefer the MK Story revolve more around the more dominant and powerful characters like (Raiden/Fujin/Goro/ShangTsung/KotalKahn,QuanChi, even Havoc). Yeah but Cassie being the hero of the story was a bit unexpected. Plus, it gives the story a way to give someone else the glory rather than a powerful character like Raiden or Liu Kang.

As far as it goes with Liu Kang's powers, he learned every special thing from Bo' Rai Cho. Having Cassie being the hero of the story is ok, but that green halo concept is a bit OPed and confusing. You're not supposed to have power of that magnitude, especially not without having gone though the sacrifices necessary to earn it. The whole Mediterranean cult and everything concept in itself is fine, but it's not supposed to be able to counter a god, especially since Shinnok had absorbed so much of the Jensei into himself.

Now granted, Shinnok technically still isn't as powerful as he should be. Despite the alternate timeline, everything that took place BEFORE the events of MK1 still happened exactly the same way in the original timeline. If that's true, then the "amulet" that everyone was placing so much importance on was actually a fake. Remember, Quan Chi gave Shinnok a duplicate, while keeping the original for himself. But even the fake amulet is still capable of devastating power, and I cannot see how Cassie can counter something like that so easily.
