I'm a lover, not a fighter
I think the writers of MK need to get past the cycle of MK doing fairly quick reboots. I thought Kronika rebooting the timeline was so gimmicky, lame and way too early - we only had MK 9 and X before rebooting the storyline again. There were a few missed opportunities prior to rebooting the game again eg Liu/Kit going evil and Dark Raiden (which should have been a game in itself).
This made me wonder where everyone thinks that the story should start?
I had a look at the full historical storyline for MK and for me, the fall of Edenia and the minor realms (Zatera/Vaeternus etc) would be a cool place to start. It is a major plot line and the key turning point for many of the events which happen later. It would also come with a fairly clear list of characters who could be in the roster and the new characters would make sense rather than just being new lame jobbers. Think:
Jerrod
Rain
Kitana
Shao Khan
Tanya
Goro
Mileena
Shinnok
Shang Tsung
Reptile
Argus
Delia
Nitara
Raiden
Sindel
etc etc
and obviously you would have to include Sub / Scorp somehow
The missing fan faves could be released in themed packs which would sell like hotcakes:
You could have a Special Forces pack released a month after - 4 of Johnny/Jax/Sonya/Jaqui/Cassie etc
A ninja pack - Ermac / Smoke / Tremor / Noob etc
White Lotus - Kung Lao / Liu / Kung Jin / Fujin etc
3D Pack - Havik / Hotaru / Ashrah / Kenshi / Li Mei etc
What are your thoughts?
