Also, I disagree, more canon endings means the story can expand into several points rather then just one. Kai's ending wasn't canon in anyway, Shao Kahn's is the only canon ending in Armageddon. Actually, it may be to a very small degree if we analize (though they never confirmed this). He sees the past, present and future, but when he looks after Armageddon, he don't see nothing. This is a indication of what Raiden and Shao Kahn did. Shao Kahn seemingly destroys the universe after acquiring the power of Blaze (he was the bringer of Armageddon after all, something Delia did not predict), thus, there is nothing after the final battle, which is what Kai sees.

Of course it can't be completely canon because Kai did not defeat Blaze and because the developers never confirmed this. Kai's ending explicitly states he defeated Blaze which in turn gave him the power to see the events, how is that possible if Shao Kahn defeated him?
