All I want is a heroic sacrifice for Johnny. Him willingly holding off the tide of Shinnok's demons, given the others a chance to escape, and one last goodbye with Sonya (no kissing, but just almost, for that, "Maybe in another life," kind of thing). The cutscene will show him fighting demon after demon, taking down so many with such skill, before either Quan Chi or Shinnok steps in to personally finish him off. Right before they do, Johnny spits in their face and smiles.

His character will have come completely full-circle, from arrogant action star to sacrificial hero for the entire world, and we'd finally get a death for Johnny that he truly deserves, instead of a, "inbetween games, Johnny died," kind of thing. People would never again question the validity or badass nature of Johnny's character.

That's all I want.
