User blog:Garhdo/Is it really "Mortal" Kombat?

It may just be me, but has anyone noticed that hardly any of the characters stay dead in the canon of the series, despite the fact that they are fighting in Mortal Kombat and some should die at least.

The ones I can think of that died: Johnny Cage, Shang Tsung, Quan Chi, Liu Kang, Shao Kahn - they all came back! Now I know this is obviously because of their popularity, the same reason comic book characters never stay dead, but I would prefer if some of them did indeed stay dead, to let new characters or even lesser-seen characters get a chance and also to give their deaths some more weight in the overall storyline.

What does everyone else think?
