MKX Comic Plot Discussion & Speculation Thread

Law Hero

There is a head on a pole behind you
For those who've read it, did anyone else notice that

Raiden has a bunch of cuts all over him? I wonder how often he's been using the Kamidogu Dagger or if he's starting going all Forrest Fox on himself. I'd love to see a return of Evil Raiden in the storymode though. Even more reason of Liu Kang to step up and try to take him down.

I cleared off my discussion on the dialogue because I felt it would get too complicated. Also what proof do you have, aside from an idea of where its coming from when, in reality, you don't know which side of the portal is being seen. Thats about it. You still haven't named anyone who fits the description, so until you do, you can't outright exclude him. Plus they make no mention of Jacqui when they arrive, only Cassie. Can you prove they knew who she was ahead of time, by chance? I'd assume not.

How would he know? If he was sent to retrieve Cassie, and Jacqui happened to be there by chance (which more or less seems to be the case as they had no reason to expect her there) then how would he recognize her? If you are going to insist he was briefed on her before, I'll need a reason why since up until this point neither Jax nor Jacqui have been present in the plot or around Erron in any sort of way. I await your responses insisting that yet another plot hole exists because of "continuity errors" (by the by, Mileena's eyes changing wasn't a continuity error, it was an artist swap).

It has to be one of four people: Erron, Jarek, Tiana, or Kano.
Out of those four, Kano is the only one we can logically assume knows who Jacqui Briggs is to the point of being able to recognize her when she wasn't expected to be there.
You can see what side of the portal it's coming from because you can see the phone, which was on the Earthrealm side of the portal. I'm not outright excluding that it was Kano, I'm just saying it's less likely than Jarek or Tasia.
Let's look at the converse too: can you prove that they don't know who she is before? I'm also assuming not.

Consider that it has been at least 18 years since MK9, they could easily have acquired knowledge of her existence in that time.
Another reason they haven't been present in the plot, the same reason characters like Ermac or Quan Chi haven't been present yet: they just haven't got to that yet but they will. Sorry to disappoint what you were awaiting oh mighty lord of comic knowledge and MK lore.

I agree that that is the 4 main candidates, but as I see it it's more likely that it was Jarek or Tasia based on the fact that the dialogue came from the same side of the portal as the phone. I'm not saying it wasn't Erron or Kano, it's just less likely.

Read that, and I bet Raiden will probably kick Scorps ass again and they'll just both stop fighting and well do what your links say ;)

I'm also soo hoping Sub is Kuai Liang, the way he acts...I still don't see him being Bi-Han, LMAO @ what he did to Kano's face, anyone else kind of laugh at that part? lol

I also have a new theory, due to what Kano said to Sub regarding the dagger possessing Sub-Zero but can be overcome. I'm guessing Sub does eventually and that's why Ermac says to him in the game "Your soul is corrupted" then Sub says "Not currupted....FREED!" Unless Ermac was referring to when he died and Quan Chi had control over him(which could apply to either Sub-Zero really)

Yeah because Quan Chi pulled some bs on Kahn, tricking him into thinking that if he resurrected Sindel it would be totally legal to invade Earthrealm or whatever. Which was what Quan wanted in the first place, he wanted Kahn dead. He knew what was gonna happen.
Exactly lol, QC was merely doing Shinnok's bidding and thus deceived Shao Kahn using his arrogance and obsession with merging/conquering Earthrealm for many years feeding him a bunch of bs about Sindel blocking the EG's knowledge of such and it'll be ok, blah, blah lol.

Kahn was pretty much in the way of QC and Shinnok's plans, but ultimately it winded up being Raiden and Earthrealm like original continuity during the MK4 time aka Netherrealm War plot...

Anybody can explain me why are you guys think, that Erron Black is JC? My English very bad, I don't understand why people associates Erron with JC. :(
 
I knew Kotal didn't have them kidnap the girls. Made no damn sense lol.

Happy Johnny showed up but his outfit looks more generic than MkA Striker :(. I hope Mavado survives because I like his moves but.... prolly dead.

More Sub being a ruthless boss please! Love how he's going from place to place randomly fucking shit up.

bye felicia
I wonder if they'll cover the story in MKX, or pick up where it leaves off
From the way they're ducking and dodging, MKX is probably mostly the netherrealm war (ugh) and whatever happens 25 years later with whatever scenes sprinkled in between that are necessary to introduce new characters / plot points.
