 * Some spoliers*

I've found immortality in the MK universe to be mildly inconsistent. Raiden is a god, therefore, he is immortal. In Shinnok's case, it is stated that he cannot be killed because he's a god. He could have his head lopped off and dropped in the Netherrealm, but he won't die. Raiden, however, apparently can die. Liu Kang asked Shinnok if they should kill Raiden, and he replied, "no, I want him to see as I take over his realm." and all that. If Shinnok can't die, why can Raiden?

Thoughts?
