What's new

MKX Comic Plot Discussion & Speculation Thread

Okay guys, lets move on for now. We have some interesting news.
As most of you have probably seen, Shao Kahn's hammer is propped up in that new stage with his armour. Whatever happens to it post-Goro disarming, it ends up in the hands of the Brotherhood of Shadows.

"What?? How do you know this?" I'm not jumping to conclusions here. Remember in the "Next" video they showed the menus resulting from when you choose a faction war? There are the exact same bottles with skeletons and shit on that stage as in the Brotherhood of Shadows menu.

I'm all but certain that they are trying to resurrect Shao Kahn, the thing in the middle looks like a failed attempt (I know resurrection may seem easy in MK, KL and Kitana are proof etc), but maybe it's more difficult if you're killed by Elder God dragon worms.

Anyone else thinking we're getting a weird, resurrected Shao Kahn as final boss?
I approve:D
Uh careful @MKF30 , Fujin isn't weaker than Raiden. The hole in his abdomen was a result of the blood magik/thunder outburst, it didn't affect Raiden as much because he was the one using the blood magik.
Fujin is Raiden's bitch and you know it.

I'm not trying to be rude but alot of your recent post was just a whole lot of nothing.

You keep harping on this alliance thing when I've already explained why kidnapping the girls is OOC for Kotal and completely retarded/ would never work.

You keep harping on Kotal likely not knowing when I said already that and think it's far more likely Erron is a black dragon spy.

Also Sonya shot Kotal for a few reasons, biggest being she doesn't want to be in a position of weakness and at his mercy if he does have them. It's hard for Kotal to have leverage when he's bleeding on the ground lol.

I love how calculated Sonya is in this series, some may not like it but she has more personality in this series than in the previous 20 years combined.
So because you think you're right that means my post was "a whole lot of nothing"? Oh please. That's not only incorrect but unfair. You need to be open to the idea that you could be wrong.

I've said 2 things, either A. Kotal doesn't know about the capture and Erron is working with the Black Dragon solo which wouldn't make any sense because as of yet Erron has no reason to do that or B. Kotal does know and is using Cassie as blackmail to form the alliance with Sonya and Earthrealm which would make sense because 1. Mileena is working with the Red Dragon so it's fitting that Kotal would be working with the Black Dragon and 2. Kotal asked her nicely to form an alliance before but she wouldn't so now Kotal could be taking matters into his own hands like a smart leader would do instead of just backing down when she said no.

I think the main reason Sonya shot Kotal was because she's assuming he has her daughter...the whole position of weakness thing is irrelevant compared to that. She's a mother for gods sake, she's going to shoot someone if she thinks they have her daughter. Kotal will still have the leverage of having Cassie whether he's been shot or not. Oh Kotal is bleeding? Yeah, great leverage she has there. Maybe if Kotal's dead he can tell her where her daughter is.

Hahaha good one, remember that time Raiden didn't end up killing people? Neither do I. When was the last time Fujin messed up and someone died? Oh wait... Raiden is meh, and if that Polish magazine is to be believed then there's a reason Fujin becomes the big bad.

Justice for Bridgette Wilson's portrayal in the movie.

No but, seriously, what personality? She's just another macho prick. Big whoop.

Has he even been relevant enough to do so? Raiden's been in every game, Fujin was in two.

He's still relevant, he just works from the Sky Temple rather than being on the ground getting everyone killed and making people hate him lol

You post was and still alot of nothing because you keep saying things I already said like they were your own arguments lol. Not because I don't agree with you.

I said before Erron could be BD but that mean he is most likely a traitor because the Black dragon has already been said to be working with Quan Chi I believe. Which also means it might mean Erron is Quan in disguise even tho I hate that speculation.

Your other argument is wrong because if you are wounded on the ground you are in no position to make demands of anyone.

Lastly Kotal still wouldn't be smart forcing an alliance via kidnapping because of how Sonya is also a military expert who has already said she doesn't care about outworld. Nothing would be stopping her from turning against him and his soldiers mid battle and joining Mileena against him.

He can't afford all these enemies, it's not smart leadership at all. Especially once Johnny, Jax, Raiden and the rest of Earth finds out.

Being a God in MK means nothing but you're immortal (barley) can talk to the Elder gods and thts about it...Raiden gets his shit fucked up often lol so I don't think Fujin is any weaker or stronger.If it did come down to a fight between them two I'd say Fujin.

Your other argument is wrong because if you are wounded on the ground you are in no position to make demands of anyone. Especially if Sonya and her hooded team threatened to kill him or the rest of his squad. She bodied Dvorah like she was nothing already when she attacked her for no reason earlier.

He can't afford all these enemies, it's not smart at all. Especially once
How are my posts nothing then if I'm apparently saying what you've said? That makes your posts a whole lot of nothing too. If you've already said these things then provide evidence instead of just saying 'oh I already said this, your posts are nothing, useless'.

Why does Erron have to be a traitor if he's working with the Black Dragon? Kotal could easily be working with the Black Dragon too as Mileena is working with the Red Dragon, like I said. When were the Black Dragon said to be working with Quan? I highly doubt Erron is Quan. Quan is unlikely to be captured by Sonya and keep his Erron guise up.

It doesn't matter if you're wounded, it doesn't matter if you're lying in a bloody hospital, if your people are holding someone elses daughter hostage you have every right to tell them that they're not getting their daughter back until they agree to an alliance. Kotal doesn't have to be the sole person holding Cassie hostage you know.

How is blackmail not smart? Kotal has Cassie, and the leverage, all he needs to say is that she isn't and won't be hurt as long as Sonya agrees to an alliance. It's simple. Sonya being a military expert means nothing since all she's done is appear with 5 hooded people, she still doesn't know where her daughter is. Sonya isn't a person to backstab someone, and it would be the stupidest thing in the world to turn on him since he has her daugher. How is that not obvious? And Sonya joining Mileena?! Why would she even do that?!

Duh, that's why he's trying to form an alliance with Sonya and Earthrealm.

Ok-ish at pressing buttons
Jeez it's crazy to me how in 1 game NRS completely ruined Raiden's reputation built over years.

He's like the John Cena of Mortal Kombat now, where everyone around him considers him a heel but himself.
True...but there was also deception where he killed himself, quan chi, and shang tsung to try and kill onaga, then armageddon where he made a deal with shao kahn to try and save earthrealm by capturing taven. Not on the level of his mk9 fuck ups ofc but his history past mkda hasn't been too great.

Remember when Raiden accomplished his mission of SAVING EARTHREALM with a minimal loss of few fighters, while driven from unclear visions of his future near - dead self? I do

Remember when Fujin got his ass handed by BI HAN, thus making it easier for Quan and Shinnok to get the amulet? Remember when he became Earth's protector only because Raiden was promoted to ELDER GOD? You might remember he was killed in the battle of armageddon though….

Eat this.:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

HAHAHAHA MINIMAL LOSS OF FEW FIGHTERS, he caused the death of half the cast of MK9! Hahahahahaha

No because I never played whatever game you're talking about. Remember when all that got overwritten anyway because there's no way in hell Raiden is getting promoted to Elder God now? Yeah, well Raiden is now instead in this timeline an idiot who gets people killed or almost killed (even in the comics!) :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Alright, that's cool. Now imagine, what if Raiden wouldn't have been there in the first place? That's right, Shao Kahn would have butt raped everyone and everything. Yeah, maybe Raiden fucked up a little, but only cause of him Earthrealm was saved.

If Raiden hadn't been there and Kahn had tried to invade Earthrealm anyway he'd have been attacked by the Elder Gods and the same thing would've happened.

Yeah, print issue 3 should be out today, chapters 7-9, it should also have a description of what's been happening that we don't know about just like in print issue 2 :)
 
What?:confused: He lost every fighter on the good side except Johnny n Sonya ..He even killed one of them by accident!

Fighters who got whacked by Sindel are minimal loss in the BIG PICTURE OF THE WHOLE WORLD. Also, it was a wise move to fry stubborn Liu Kang. He predicted an outcome and it was the right guess.
Also, why ppl even bother for those deaths? Apparently they only matter for Jade and Stryker fans.

The game " I'm talking about" is MK Mythologies. Remember it's not overwritten from the new timeline cause it's a prequel to MK1, so Fujin is still a loser?
Remember how the ELDER GODS helped Raiden eradicate Shao in MK9's Ending?
Where was Fujin at that time? Oh, in some hidden sound files:joker:
