They might be sub-breeds or something but its weird that even in Armageddon neither of them turned slightly reptillian but hey they weren't relevant anyway so I understand why they didnt get a reskinning.

Anyway .... can we talk about things that are inevitable instead of Reptiles tail lol.

Based on the original timeline and his ending, Ermac most likely won't be the Ermac he was in MK9. He could be good or evil depending on which soul takes over or if Kenshi returns.

Scorpion may not find out that Quan Chi killed him family and clan because (as of now) both Subs are dead so nobody would tell him during MK4. And unless its Bi-Han, highly speculated because of their intro together.

Deadly Alliance will not happen. Shang Tsung is gone as long as Shao Kahn is gone because his soul belongs to him.

With Shang and others gone that means MANY characters (according to the original timeline) would be hella irrelevant : Mavado, Hsu Hao , Kobra , Kira , Li Mei , Frost (kinda) , Drahmin , Moloch , Havik (story wise) , Kenshi (storywise) , Meat (for whoever cares) , and anyone who's involved with Lui Kang if he gets confirmed dead and gone. Their storylines were centered around others and with those characters gone that really means that they will have a clear slate since most of these characters (Li Mei, Kira , Drahmin , etc.) wouldnt even be involved in the wars if I wasn't for these characters. And since their going a whole new direction these characters arent necessary anyway. And for those who keep saying Armageddon is going to happen anyway ... Armageddon happened because the increase of warriors being involved in Mortal Kombat but with all the characters I listed off the top of my head not having any reason (at the moment) to be in this game, Armageddon can't happen.

What is your take on this opinionated theory/"heartbreaker" I guess for some of the fans of these characters ? This is how I hope it goes because some of these characters are clones or crap or boring/have no impact on the story so with a small roster like what we seen, it's open opportunity to give each character a story and shine light on the new ones instead of having them fall in the background when this over. Thanks for reading if you did :) sorry for ranting just had to get this off my chest ! Interesting theory on Ch/Khameleon. Anyway, I'd actually be fine with it turning out that way, truth be told. Am not one of those that think every character introduced after MK3 were complete crap like a lot of folks, but at the same time there were too little of them in between that I actually enjoyed or were memorable enough to me, so all those you mentioned being omitted wouldn't be a huge loss, like (IMO) Johnny and Sonya being "moved on from" just because of their daughter.

Kenshi's one of the couple fan favorites introduced after MK3 & 4 though, so he may end up staying/coming back even if Shang remains dead. Wouldn't mind if he didn't return though, as he was always kind of overrated to me (plus we got Ermac for the telekinetic type if he comes back a good guy like before).

One character I kinda always wanted to be given a bit more attention/relevance is Sareena, whose first appearance was in that Sub-Zero adventure game which Bi-Han spared when he was still a cryomancer, then later saved Kuai Liang from Bi-Han in an ambush when the latter became more evil as Noob Saibot. (Armageddon of course did her character no favors like a lot of things that were wrong with that game.) Even if the Sub-Zero in MKX is another new one, I wouldn't mind if Sareena had a connection with him or developed one since she's had one with the others of the "Sub-Zero family tree" anyway... Which is more than can be said for Frost who only knew Kuai Liang and not the previous Sub-Zero.

Armageddon could still happen again theoretically depending on how things turn out later, just Shao Kahn wouldn't be the victor like before. But yeah, chances are they wouldn't go that route again as it is. Maybe a future plotline that involves the One Being itself actually returning somehow, but not as Armageddon 2.0.

@ Dragonspyne: Oh, I see. Thanks for the clarification.
