I felt like before it was all about the realms and their rich histories, and that the tournament was a rare chance for all the realms to see eachother. We'd hardly ever actually go to those realms or see what the elder gods even looked like so everything had a grandeur mystery to it. MK9 was the only good story mode as the others are just degrading.
If I could have it my way I'd cut the formulaic story mode for MKX (no kombat kids) and focus on individual character arcs instead. Basically cut story mode and the overarching storyline, and instead add depth to the arcade mode to include more than just character endings. There should be no end-of-the-world plots. Then in MK11 have the story mode return with a brand new tournament, colliding all the characters we've familiarized ourselves in MKX together for the ultimate set up.
What made me fall in love with Mortal Kombat was never the gameplay nor the gore, but the characters and mythology surrounding them.
