Now Daryl. You're saying that no endings are canon, ever. However, Liu Kang's ending in MK1-Gold were all canon. Half of the endings in Mortal Kombat 4 and Gold were canon. Throughout the franchise, to the most, half of every characters' endings were semi-canon.

Johnny's endings: 2 canon; 3 semi-canon; 1 non-canon

Goro's endings: no canons

Liu Kang's endings: 4 canon; 3 non-canon

Kano's endings: 5 non-canon

Bi-Han's endings: 1 canon; 4 non-canon

Raiden's endings: 2 canon; 6 non-canon

Reptile's endings: 1 canon; 4 non-canon

Scorpion's endings: 3 canon; 1 semi-canon; 4 non-canon

Sonya Blade's endings: 1 semi-canon; 5 non-canon

Shang Tsung's endings: no canons

This is just from the characters introduced in MK1. There are more but I think you get my point. Some endings have been canon. And I do get your point about some endings turning into sub-plots but that's still at least semi-canon.
