If they wanted to sweep the other hero characters aside for the end of the plot, they could have easily just had them go out and have them fend off the forces of Outworld while the fight with Liu and Raiden happens, they didn’t HAVE to kill them to remove them from the story.

That said, it wasn’t the fact that they killed them that ruined the story for me, it was after. As in, MKX and 11. I think the shock factor of watching the Sindel massacre was a great twist, but to completely drop the ball with Smoke, Nightwolf, Sindel, Kabal, and Stryker and not even wrap up their stories before was just bad. Especially since it according to the apparently leaked dialogue for Sindel as a DLC character, they’re retconning her to have been evil since before her resurrection and having betrayed Jerrod herself.

Didn’t this happen in the original timeline too at some point? Like, MK5 or 6ish?
