    Corrections and Clarifications:
    -Li Mei fell in love with Onaga in her Deception ending, due to corruption from almost becoming one of hsi undead soldiers.
    -And I forgot that in the MKX comic, Mileena is at least hinted to have fucked both Goro and either Reiko or Rain.

    I find it hilarious that Jade calls Kotal "open-minded" with a "strong spine".
    Ironically, Shao portrays himself as the more tolerant (aka open-minded) of the two. Since his debut, Shao was very inclusive with his entourage (reptiles, bug people, Shokans, Centaurs, Edenians, Tarkatans, even Earthrealmers like Kano) and truly respects and loves Sindel in this game (and apparently only ever had eyes for her) while Kotal is extremely racist towards Tarkatans (driving them to literal extinction) and Earthrealmers, had concubines in Jade's absence and slept with fucking D'Vorah.

    They did Sonya x Johnny so dirty. In MKX, they are introduced as an already divorced couple, buy by the end, they fall in love again. Then, in MK11 they have like 30sec of actual romantic interaction before she dies for nothing. Kinda sad, since they are my favorite couple in MK

      SupportGaming 2020, the Sonya X Jax relationship would only work after Johnny Cage being a fucking idiot and walking into the Revenant Chamber to turn back Scorpion, Subzero, and Jax back to their human forms, so that way the Jax x Sonya relationship could have Jacqui Briggs together, and Johnny being married to Vera would still make their daughter equally as powerful as Jax’s and Sonya’s daughter.

Also, the few interactions that they have like "She called me Johnny" and the one at the beginning of MK11 are actually great.

    Like, part of the reason I like Kotal x Jade is probably 95% because of how the voice actors deliver their lines, particularly Phil LaMarr switching from his loud commanding tone to this incredibly earnest affection. That said, for MK11 it comes out of nowhere and MK11's interactions and storyline contradict Kotal's backstory information in MKX to make it happen.
    Namely, Nightwolf asks where Kotal was during the tournament, and Kotal says he was being tortured in the flesh pits and didn't escape until Shang Tsung was killed like a bitch in the MK3 time period. This doesn't add up since Reptile becomes buds with Kotal all because Reptile failed to win in the MK1 tournament and Shao Kahn told Kotal that Reptile should be killed for his failure, but Kotal knew Reptile would be better as an assassin and not a head to head fighter and spared him... Which he couldn't do if he's in the flesh pits and doesn't get out of them until shortly before Shao Kahn is fought by elder god empowered Raiden.
    Further MK11 interactions imply that Kotal was Shao Kahn's general easily as far back as 10,000 years ago being the personal body guard of Sindel until her death, which I find hard to believe that if she died on his watch that Shao Kahn wouldn't rain hell down on Kotal's head for that happening, which would mean he was in the flesh pits for 10,000 years? But if Kotal knew Jade 10,000 years ago, that would mean he was an adult general while, at best, Jade was a child who could have no real memory of the events of Jerrod's death and the conquering of the realm (just like Kitana) and he was imprisoned before they COULD know each other.
    Apparently the time of Kotal's imprisonment is as much a mystery as "Who killed Jerrod?" which could be it's own murder mystery in this clusterfuck of writing.
    As for that D'vorah line, it really comes out of nowhere. I'm tempted to believe it's more of D'vorah's lying to make her temporary servitude to Kotal sound deeper than it really was since in every other fucking situation, everything in regards to D'vorah puts her on fucking par with the Xenomorphs; from the fact that her blood is Toxic to SKARLET, to the fact that every inch of her body is containing hundreds of thousands of various flesh eating bugs, and so much as a little poke with one of her spines = enough venom to kill Scorpion, I don't think anyone but Geras could stick his dick in that and recover from it.

    Noob and Jataaka being a thing is a literal joke to me. Not because it's inherently bad, but because I was trying to understand what the hell Noob was doing for 25 years in the Netherrealm when I saw the story for MK11. Guess he was laying pipe.

    Mileena was a relationship with Reiko in the comics. He complains about taking her to bed, she explicitly states he's the only person she trusts. Honestly, the comic made me feel sorry for her. I will take the bullet now and say I thought his storyline was the only thing the comic did that was even slightly interesting. At least as far as the story itself, the conclusion of Reiko just being a vessel for Shinnok's amulet (not even Shinnok himself, wtf) was idiotic.

    I continue to be amazed how easy it is now to see some "okay" stuff in MK9 and MKX, especially the former, when we know how much worse things can get. MK9 did justice to the essence of most of the characters (out-of-nowhere retcons, i.e. Kabal, notwithstanding), and MKX had a lot of interesting ideas, many legit great pre-fight dialogues and managed to follow the MK9's plot without the need to lie about what happened there.
    I remember Tobias saying that he regretted canonizing Liu/Kitana, but to me it never felt forced, even though the potential developments and dynamics were never really explored in either timeline.

    Tanya's back stabby nature and dialogue with Rain lead me to suspect that that affair was one sided. Since Tanya knew the amulet was evil and killing Mileena but encouraged her to use it anyways, it's likely she was just using Mileena to begin with. So I have no idea where that ending where she has a baby with Tanya even came from, especially since Mileena's sister issue has always been her defining trait in the old cannon and wanting to be Khanum in the new.

    So okay this might be insane, but wouldn’t Kotal and Sheeva have made an at least interesting couple in MK11?
    Like, imagine Sheeva WAS one of Goro’s wives, who despite her commitments was in love with Kotal. They could never be together because Goro was himself a powerful warrior, and had a good standing with Shao Kahn. But once they were both at least presumed dead in the aftermath of MK3/9, KK and Sheeva think they see a chance for their relationship, only for circumstances to drive them apart when they both take up leadership roles for two peoples who aren’t ready to trust one another again.
