You make it sound like I'm the only guy who doesn't like Mokap.

He had to defeat Shao Khan to prove he was worthy, since in canon he did not defeat Shao Khan, this can't be canon....
hur hur hur
Unlike the other endings his ending doesn't mention Shao Kahn or beating Shao Kahn at all, unlike every other ending. It is not uncommon in fighting game arcade modes for characters to have endings that don't directly tie to anything.He had to defeat Shao Khan to prove he was worthy, since in canon he did not defeat Shao Khan, this can't be canon....
I literally used 4 doges... 4. Wow. *facepalm*
I don't know what that means, but okay.
Well. That changes the situation I suppose and clears it up. Sorry for bothering you sir with my trolly behaviour.
Scorpion becoming interesting for once? No, we can't have that.
i agree with thisI think the reason i'm not particularly fond of Taven/Daegon is because they were brought out of nowhere and we were given barely any time to get to know the characters. In MKA we play as Taven, the main protagonist of konquest and go around beating the fuck out of characters we had gotten to know and love and had been led to believe that they were pretty god damn strong, but oh no, no match for the all mighty Taven who we've never fucking heard of before. Apparently even strong enough to beat characters like Goro, The GOD of thunder, The GOD of wind, Kintaro, Scorpion, and of course Kabal. Who lbsh would obviously body Taven free.
I just don't understand how anyone can like this character. He has no redeeming qualities, he basically comes in and shits on the entire MK cast without breaking a sweat. He beat all of these fucking characters in rapid succession! The only time I can think where he was even in some sort of actual danger was in the beginning where Sektor captures him and uses some kind of torture machine on him. Seriously what in the fuck was up with that?
Daegon is a character who wasn't really memorable to me at all. Although he is basically the main villain of the konquest story, I didn't really see him as one because all you know is that he killed his parents after being manipulated by Shinnok and for creating the red dragon. They make him seem like he wants this "Godlike power" or whatever the grand fucking prize is but you know that if anyone is getting that shit it's sure as hell not gonna be him. IIRC Shinnok even expresses his doubts about him to his face after witnessing how stupidly powerful Taven was, and it makes Daegon look even more like an unneeded tool. While Daegon is remembered to me at least as a shitty character, I remember Shinnok being very sinister, manipulative, a total prick, even maybe going to the extent of saying he was intimidating. Even though he's been in a few games, we really have no fucking idea what this guy is capable of. Shinnok being the villain in this game is a no-fucking brainer. Boon has said that the boss will be a "returning" character that fans won't be expecting, and this could very well be someone like Daegon. I almost am expecting this to happen after so many scenes were used in MK9 purely for shock value. They seem to be building themselves up by telling a new and different story, but at the same time ignoring that they already have a good story base they could easily expand upon without all the plot twists. I don't give a shit about the surprise factor, put in a god damn good villain instead of trying to do something fresh and innovative or shocking. Shinnok has all of the qualifications to be a fantastic villain and I feel like they might choose to ignore that simply to try and drive the story in a different way. Anyways just my $.02
To be honest when it comes to 90% of the post MK4 cast, I love their potential more than the actual characters themselves, because those characters don't have much development.I think the reason i'm not particularly fond of Taven/Daegon is because they were brought out of nowhere and we were given barely any time to get to know the characters. In MKA we play as Taven, the main protagonist of konquest and go around beating the fuck out of characters we had gotten to know and love and had been led to believe that they were pretty god damn strong, but oh no, no match for the all mighty Taven who we've never fucking heard of before.

I want to see this war happen, if by this means Hanzo is controling Scorpion, i think somehow he might think he killed Quan Chi, or he did killed him
I find interesting that some things are still happening even if the timeline is altered, in the OTL sub gets his scar by Kung Lao's Hat, and this Sub gets by Kano's.
I think Sektor would still kill his father and take control of the Link Kuei even without killing Shao Kahn, you can see trough his behavior in MK9 that Sektor desires leadership, in fact, on the original timeline, he killed his father and become the leader of the Lin Kuei clan, only to lose his leadership later on when Kuai Liang returns home and defeats him in a mortal kombat duel (1st of 5?) but he didn't died, he assembled rebels tekunins in MKA and becamed a pirate i think.He had to defeat Shao Khan to prove he was worthy, since in canon he did not defeat Shao Khan, this can't be canon....
Shinnok is the shit. He's my favorite MK villain for sure.I think the reason i'm not particularly fond of Taven/Daegon is because they were brought out of nowhere and we were given barely any time to get to know the characters.

Man...while the later games do lack that certain flair compared to the MK1 - 3, they all had/have incredible potential, and all the stories throughout were quality. MK Armageddon is the only one that to me missed the mark in a big way. That games story was to big for what they were trying to do, and really that is why I'm so happy and grateful for the new comic series.
3. Look at these pictures, that should help you with what time chapter 1 took place.
I agree with this. Re-imagined characters with new technology tend to be cooler than their original conceptions. I always thought that Kabal, for example, was really lame in MK3. I don't know, I hated his flappy sleeves and those goddamn white shoes... Fast-forward nine years to MKD and Kabal was made into a complete bad-ass, I thought.
Rumors say Hsu Hao will be the main boss of MK 124. That's cute, you still think someone dying in MK means they are definitely gone forever
