      Here’s my big question, does the multiple timelines twist mean that the live action movies/tv shows are also canon? And why stop there. Every ladder ending can be canon to a different timeline. The Passing or failing the QTE’s in MKX’s campaign can be different timelines. I’m even going to take it a step further and say every individual match we play with friends is canon as well as competitive and casual matches/tournament online or offline is cannon.

      Bro, ill disagree with u, its different this time. Before Sindel was very much a victim of circumstances, a puppet controlled by Shao kahn, Shang Tsung or Quan Chi. Now I see her as the protagonist, self-conscious, with an active, conscious and decisive role. Edenia was not simply destroyed by a dictator, it was corrupted inside, with Sindel as the protagonist of this decay and as powerful and decisive as Shao Kahn.

      GOD THANK YOU! I'm waiting for it to revealed that THIS Sindel was an actual successful clone by Shang Tsung. When the real Sindel was killed by Quan Chi, in order to put the clone into the storyline, the clone was the one REALLY "resurrected". The reason THIS Sindel isn't bewitched is because she was MADE to be this way. It's all she knows but she doesn't KNOW she's a clone. Sounds far out, but plausible and makes about as much sense as her retcon.

  • @richardferguson9663
    @richardferguson9663 3 роки тому +1

    Twists that should have made the list:
    1) Scorpion was right about his family's death. Mortal Kombat X.
    It had been long established and said that While the original Sub Zero killed Scorpion, the Lin Kuei did not slaughter his family, with several of Scorpion's endings even saying that it was Quan Chi that did it. But in Mortal Kombat X, Sub Zero contacted Scorpion when he discovered, by accessing Sektor's memories after defeating him, that yes, the Lin Kuei DID slaughter every man, woman, and child that was part of the Shin Ryu. This realization and confession ended the most famous rivalry between these two ninjas and formed the foundation of a lasting peace between the two reformed clans - for all the good it did now that the timeline's starting over.
    2) Cyrax did not willingly become a cyborg. Mortal Kombat, the reboot.
    It had been speculated, as far back as Mortal Kombat 3, that the reason Smoke, and later Sub Zero, managed to keep their souls while becoming cyborgs was because they did not undergo the process willingly. Something about that resistance preserved part of them. But ...
    We learned that Cyrax was opposed to the Cyber Initiative and was trying to dissuade the Grandmaster of the Lin Kuei from it, going so far as to leave the ninja clan. Which means that whatever it was that preserved the souls of Smoke and Sub Zero, it wasn't being unwilling patients.
    3) Shang Tsung's inevitable but unexpected betrayal ... was part of the plan. Mortal Kombat 11 Aftermath.
    His betrayal of the heroes was not unexpected. And while his turning on Sindel and Shao Kahn was surprising, it made sense; he was gaining power, and did not need to be subservient to them any longer. Even Liu Kang getting involved later was foreseeable. The surprise was that this was all part of the plan - Liu Kang's plan.
    Liu looked into the hourglass, then spoke to Fujin, even saying that the plan was a big gamble (and don't tell Nightwolf!). He later explained that not only was the sorcerer's betrayal going to happen, but that it HAD TO HAPPEN for Kronika to be defeated and the crown preserved.
    All of a sudden, Fujin's just handing the crown to the disguised Shang Tsung is no longer an act of foolishly trusting someone who looks like Raiden but doesn't act like him; now, it's (mildly less) foolishly trusting that Liu Kang knew what he was doing.

But the retcon came out of nowhere and for someone who waited for so long to see her reunited with Kitana again, it kind of makes me feel empty, it's like you've been promised something and after waiting for so many years, you see in the end that it was all a lie. With that beeing said mk9's Sindel massacre was badass in my opinion!

    The fact that "he must win" didn't refer to Liu Kang should have been obvious given that Liu DID win in the original timeline, and the whole point is that Raiden was trying to change something. New timeline Raiden couldn't know that because for all he knew the message came from a future where Liu lost and that's what went wrong, but for the player, it should have been obvious that Liu winning would just be repeating the same failed cycle of events.
    That being said, "he must win" was a stupidly ambiguous message. How about, "Khan must win"?

    Sindel betrayal was really heartbreaking to bear because i know in the Original timeline she goes from possessed evil to turn onto the good side.
    I feel like D'voah was literally made to piss off alot fans because she killed 2 fan favorites in 2 recent games Milenna and Scorpion. I was so mind blown seeing Sub-Zero and Scorpion work on the same side in MK11, like these 2 have been at each others necks for so long its just so awesome seeing them working together but until D'voah killed him, man if she went her way on killing Sub-Zero too i would go completely nuts and say we gotta put a end to this bitch once at for all.
    Milenna i understand why they wouldn't add her in MK11 because her character died in Mortal Kombat X and putting her in MK11 would not make any logical sense, plus making her DLC character would be the worsr idea too.
