All of my thoughts are too cliche, got it. Lol. Literally making Chameleon an experiment that splices all of the ninjas' dna together seems absolutely ridiculous to me. How would the RD possibly get dna samples from all of them? I'm sure anyone could just write up some bullshit way of doing it, but seriously. I'd prefer a more unique backstory not involving any of the other ninjas at all, frankly, save for Reptile possibly.

I do, however, like the idea that Donnie Darko suggested of a spin-off for GKL. Other ideas I've had personally include one featuring Shang Tsung before he was ever cursed and forced to consume souls in order to preserve his youth. Another would involve Shao as an advisor for Onaga whenever he ruled Outworld.

The bad guys get shit on all the time. It's especially notable in the last two games, where all of the bad guys in the story mode are essentially punching bags for the heroes. It's ridiculous. Though lacking in the story mode department, the MK games of old were legitimately frightening when it came down to the final sub-boss and boss. Specifically MKII and MK3. I know they just used cheap game mechanics, but they gave you a real sense of accomplishment when you defeated them. MKX has Cassie defeating Shinnok in the end. Seriously? And in the beginning of story mode, Cage whips his ass. Shinnok isn't menacing at all, though he should be, given he is a former Elder God, but both in the story itself and in gameplay he's a pussy.

I don't even wanna get into the stupidity of some of the victories for the heroes of the last two games. I'm lookin' at you, Stryker. Beating Ermac... Lmao. Riiight. Anyway, I want something that focuses on the bad guys for once. At the very least, being able to play as them in the story mode, so all the fight outcomes aren't so completely lopsided. I just think a spin-off starring an evil character would be great.
