^Armageddon is prevented and you know why? they probly changed the reasoning for the whole thing to "Shao Kahn was the cause of Armageddon" instead of all the characters otherwise. they changed thigns before, remember taven was originally supposed to win yet Kahn ended up winning.

also take 2 things into account.

1. Raiden's amulet was fixed, if Armageddon was not stopped it would still be cracking.

2. (most important) remember MK Armageddon happend 10ish years after MK3. MKX goes 25 years into the future. it passes up Armageddon's events. if armageddon wasnt stopped we would not have Mk 25 years later

if it was not going to be prevented why the hell did Boon say:

 TRMK:  So it's evident that this is not just going to re-tread old story lines like the last game did.

 Ed Boon:  Right it definitely progresses the story forward. ?



he could have just said "yeah we're going to retell MK 1-7 but retconned the lore like we originally wanted it" or "we're retelling the first timeline but with small differences, its going to be the same events"



but no he said countless times its going to take the story in a completely new direction, Armageddon is an old direction so its been averted.
