Speaking of the story, some parts were cool.
Mileena using Shinnok's Amulet against Kotal and Rain saving her.
Shinnok torturing Bo' Rai Cho and wanting to claim his soul. Raiden rambling about how Bo' Rai Cho's soul couldn't be subjugated and then Liu Kang simply asking "Shall we kill him, Lord Shinnok?".
Kitana, Sindel, Liu Kang, Kung Lao and Smoke kicking Raiden's arse right after Shinnok entered the Jinsei Chamber.
Kotal telling Jacqui and Takeda that he would appease Shinnok and bring him their heads before saying that Shinnok is Earthrealm's master. That was so nice of him.
And, of course, Shinnok summoning a skeletal hand from the ground to defeat Raiden and then absorbing the Jinsei.
