Swindle

Philanthropist & Asshole
I agree making her a new born was dumb. I always liked the idea of them being raised as sisters.
And I agree it does make it silly for people to confuse her with Kitana, and I realize she is a clone and everything, but I'd prefer her to be more differentiated from Kitana. Much like how male ninjas look nothing alike anymore. We don't have to deal with crappy memory constraints now. She is my favorite female character so I'll play her regardless though. I assume we can at least agree her new costume is rad? :D
I liked how the web series handled their relationship better.
 
My interest in Kotal increased so much after reading the comics. High hopes for him now, curious to see where the story goes.

Side note, where do people buy digitally? I was up late watching comixology and while the button still said pre order #8 was being put up online.

I still think Reiko's being a sneaky little bugger and that he doesn't really love Mileena or want to rule alongside her...he sounds too nice.

Something I noticed btw, in every issue so far Goro has had white/yellow-ish eyes, in the short trailer clips he has glowing red eyes though... might there be more to that or am I putting too much thought into this. :confused:

Master
That doesn't solve the problem. Hood or not, The Osh-Tekk don't seem like the kind of people who would just tell any random person where their master is in the middle of a big battle.
I don't think they even know specifically where Kotal went. They probably have a tracker on him or some other kind of bs.

Of course he doesn't love her! Look at him in the picture of them getting down, his ass looks like he'd rather not.

I can totally see the plan be as follows:
1. Get Mileena to trust you
2. Help her win back the throne and marry you
3. Kill her when she least expects it
4. Make it look like an accident (optional)

Even if the location of Mileena's camp was a secret an enormous battle was just fought there, it would not be to find out which way the gigantic army led by a big blue guy marched a few days ago or which way the other blue guy on a dinosaur hauled ass earlier that morning.

A few days in a windy desert kinda makes for a lack of tracks. Even a few hours. Add also that the Osh-Tekk have no reason not to kill Sonya on sight, and also have no reason to inform her of anything. Her finding the battle is nothing short of having someone else who is able to bring her there. That means its likely that her hooded friends have someone amongst them with a decent knowledge of the area, so it could possibly be raiden tagging along (sans hat, glowing eyes, electricity, and so on) or perhaps someone else.

This battle is also apparently quite a distance away from the homelands, so its not like she could just look over from the Osh-Tekk camp and be like "there it is". She has to have some kind of information to go off of...

I mean especially if you consider that before his father died, Erron black was at his speech...
So Sonya wouldn't even have a reason to go to the other realm until the first battle was over, which was only days (being generous) before Kotal's solo journey. This was a trip done mostly in secret as well, with only his most trusted and powerful subjects (and reptile) coming along, so I can't imagine its common news.

Master
The special forces captured him before, so it's either someone with inside knowledge or they put a tracker on him. There's no reason why they would ask the Outworld natives.

Thats very possible, though everyone assumes Kotal is the innocent one.
Apparently the portal gem is a treasure among the Osh-Tekk, so I can't imagine it being a throw away diamond.
I also don't think Kotal would just leave it unattended, and I doubt it can just be used by anyone, anywhere...

So if we assume theres only maybe one or two of them around at the very most (assuming Quan's MK:DA escape), that means that someone either stole the gem and used it (Can't be erron black because he is chasing them) or they are at one of the two gem locations...

Now what gets me, coming back to this one, Is that at the moment all of Kotal's subjects are around barring Erron Black who couldn't have used the stone...
So what does this mean? I'm guessing perhaps another stone is in play.

Also anyone notice Movado is a thing? It slipped my mind but last issue he was in it.

This makes me think that Erron Black is actually some sort of double agent, infiltrating Kotal. The fact that he hasn't said a single word yet makes me very suspicious.

Special Forces maybe?
Doubtful, he would have no reason to chase Cassie around if that were the case, at least not with guns drawn.
Likewise Sonya wouldn't have to ask where her daughter was. At least she wouldn't have to go to Kotal. If Erron was with them, then she wouldn't take that extra unnecessary step unless she views Erron as one of Kotal's lapdogs.
I'm thinking Netherrealm.

Yeah I thought Netherrealm as well, to have Earthrealm (or at least the Special Forces) start a war with Outworld and weaken them both, something along those lines. Not sure what they would gain through that though, but we'll see.
